A CHRISTMAS PRAYER.

Lord. for the lonely heart
pray apart.
Now for the son of sorrow
Whom this tomorrow
Rejoiceth not, o Lord
Hear my weak word.
For lives too bitter to be borne.
For the tempted and the torns
For the prisoner in the cell.
For the shame lip doth not tell.
For the haggard suicide.
Peace. peace. this Christmastidel
Into the desert, trod
BY the long sick. o Godi
Into the patient gloom
OF that small room
Where lies the child of pain
OF all neglected most, be fain
To enter. healing and remain.
Now at the fall OF day
bow and pray.
For those who cannot sleep
A watch ! keep.
oh, let the starving brain
Be fed and fed again.
At thy behest
The tortured nerves find rest.
I see the vacant chair.
Father of souls, prepare
My poor thoughts feeble power
To plead this hour.
For the empty, aching home,
Where he silent footsteps come,
Where the unseen face looks on,
Where the handclasp Is not felt,
Where the dearest eyes are gone,
Where the portrait on the wall
Stirs and struggles as to speak.
Where the light breath from the hail
Calls the color to the cheek.
Where he voice breaks in the hymn
When The sunset burneth dim,
Where the late large tear will start
Frozen by the broken heart;
Where the lesson Is to learn
How TO live. to grieve. to yearn,
How to bear and how to bow,
oh, the Christmas that is fed,
Lord OF living and OF dead.
Comfort thoul

Special 20 rhn InrnnnI-

Washington, July 5.-A number OF
senators and representatives met in
conference this afternoon to discuss
the recent action Of the navy dopart-
ment regarding the navy yard and SEA
ton at Pensacola and New Orleans.
Senator Fletcher was chosen chairman
and Senator Bryan secretary The
situation was quite freely discussed.
The well known attitude Of Secre-
tary Of the Navy Meyer was consid-
cred. He favors making q naval base
at Guantanamo and abolishing all but
three yards on the Atlantic coast and
two on the Pacific. This would leave
no yard on the gulf 1t Is considered
that the gulf coast should not be thus
treated from any standpoint.
A committee OF five with Senator
Fletcher as chairman was appointed to
call on Secretary Meyer tomorrow
morning and lodge a protest and see
what can be done.
Another committee OF I'VE was ap-
pointed to investigate the laws. The
main question is whether Secretary
Meyer has the legal right TO accom-
plish indirectly what he cannot do di-
rectly. II he can close the yards in
definitely or neglect and starve them
at Will he might as well have authority
and exercise it to abolish or abandon
them.
The conference adjourned to meet
next Friday morning

An interesting case was disposed Of
before United States District Conrnis-
sioner Marsh yesterday morning when
Capt. Harry Strange, master OF the
American schooner General Whiting,
which arrived here Monday, was ar
raigned on the charge of murder. The
trial resulted in the acquittal OF Capt.
Strange. The case was tried in this
city because this is the first American
port touched since the killing occurred.
Capt Strange was charged with kill
ing a Greek sailor aboard his vessel
while on the high seas, during a voy-
age from Mobile, Ala, to Vera Cruz
during the month 70 May, 1911. The
evidence showed that on May 21st,
about D. m. the deceased and another
sailor by the name of Hans Obert had
a difficulty on deck, and the master of
the ship, who at the time was in his
bunk, hearing the cries Of Obert for
assistance, ran to aid him. AS the
captain emerged from the cabin door,
1t is stated, he saw the Greek coming
toward him in a threatening manner,
and fearing that he was about to at
tack him, the captain drew his revolver
stantly.
The testimony showed that the de-
ceased Greek had a day or so previous
to the killing had trouble with the mate
and a number OF other members of the
crew and that he was g dangerous man.
and this circumstance had some
weight in the decision Of the court.
The prosecution was conducted by
District Attorney Cubberly and the de-
fendant was represented by Scott NJ.

TORPEDO BOATS

SEVEN OF THE BRITISH TORPEDO
DEsTRoYERs, WHILE TRYING
TO MAKE SPEED RECORDS, AL
MOST SHOOK PLATES APART.
BY Associated Press.

London, July 5.-Great Britain's
newest ocean going torpedo boat de-
stroyers have been put out of action by
over-straining their hulls while under
full speed trials in the heavy seas of
the English channel. The destroyers
Acorn. Alarm, Rifleman, Nemesis,
Lyria, Nymph and Larner left port in
such a condition that all available
divers were required to close the gaps
in their seams, pending docking.
The trouble was the result of the
vibration of the powerful engines
driving the little warships at speed
of 2S knots mile through the rough
water. The rivets OF the plates were
started in all directions, opening gaps
which caused the water to pour into
the oil bunkers and rendering the fuel
useless.

Washington, July 6.-President Taft's
pro-reciprocity speeches in Indiana
Monday and Tuesday were sharply
criticized in the senate today by Sen
ator Cummins Of Iowa. When the
president abandons the duties Of his
office and enters upon a campaign to
mould or lead public opinion on this
BILL" said Mr.. Cummins, then he Is
on the same level as every other man
and cannot be exempt from criticism
to be attached to the arguments he
uses"
Senators Cummins continued his
speech against the reciprocity bill in
the senate today. He further ex
planned his proposed amendments to
show that they would not involve the
United States in complications with
other countries under the favored ma
tion" treaties.
RURToNs SPEECH.
Senator Burton, of Ohio, with the ex-
phantom that he was not assuming to
defend the administration" because the
administration needs no defense"
made q notable speech in behalf Of the
Canadian reciprocity bill in the senate
today. He declared that reciprocity
was the ultimate destiny of Canada
and the United States; that all natural
conditions were opened to the main
tenance Of border warfare in CONNER
ciol matters and that the farmers of the
United States would not suffer injury
from the enactment of the Canadian
agreement.
Senator Burton was most emphatic
in his endorsement of the agreement
He declared that he came from a state
widely interested in agriculture and
that the reciprocity agreement would
not injure the farmers interests there.

outcry in some quarters that the adop-
tion of the agreement would reduce the
profits obtained by the farmers" said
Senator Burton. while this claim is
still made on behalf Of specific locali-
ties and certain products, the general
ground of opposition has shifted and
it is now maintained not that the
agreement will confer a present injury
upon the farmers, but that in the
future it will lower the prices which
they will receive.
What is this but a demand for in
creased production on food products?
How can an advocate of lower duties
support such a proposition?
This nation cannot maintain its
present position without an abundant
supply of the primary necessities of
life, especially of the essential articles
of food.
THE intention OF this proposal for
reciprocity is not to reduce the price
of articles sold by the farmer. The
slight loss by producers of particular
articles and in specific localities is
overbalanced by the benefits which will
be conferred upon the whole people.
Il enter my protest" said Senator
Burton, against any policy which
looks to the maintenance of duties on
the most essential foods-the bread
and meat which the people eat-when
the present supply shall prove insult
fcient"

WANTS TRADE
COMMISSION
NEWLANDs WANTS BOARD OF
FIVE MEMBERS TO HAVE CON-
TRoL OF INDUSTRIAL COR

OVER 5000 ZOO.
BY AssoeIated Press.

Washington, July 6.-An interstate
trade commission Of Ave members to
control industrial corporations, as the
interstate commerce commission con-
trolls the railroads, was advocated in
the senate today by Mr.. Newlands, of
Nevada. Mr.. Newlands oontended that
the Standard OIL and Tobacco decis-
ions and the recent government report
on the steel industry demonstrate the
need Of ''an independent quasi judicial
and administrative tribunal OF great
character and dignity as far removed
from partisan control as are the
courts"
The plan is to apply only to indus
trial corporations engaged in inter
state trade whose annual receipts ex-
ceed $4,000, 900.
Mr.. Newland's speech was by way of
urging the passage of a bill which he
introduced providing for his commits
sion. His measure would require all
the industrial corporations having re-
ceipts exceeding S5,000.000 to make
satisfactory statements as to capt.
talization, finances and operations,
such corporations to be known as
United States registered" companies.
1t proposes to make lack of such
registration AN indication of some
thing wrong"
The measure proposed by Mr.. New
lands includes these provisions:
The commission may at any time
cancel the registration of any regis
tered corporation for improper finan-
cial organization, oppressive or unfair
methods of competition, acceptance of
railroad rebates, refusal to allow ac-
cess to records Of nom compliance with
any judicial decree rendered under the
Sherman act. 1t may in extreme cases
for such offense debar the offending
corporations from engaging in inter
stats commerce and it may require
conviction Of over capitalization It's
Works, according to Mr.. Eewlands, is
z1t TO be complicated with the Ad-
i71inistration of anti trust laws.
