Commercial Congress. Some Of
the Distinguised Speakers. Sarah

Bernhardt in Atlanta Today.
Great Bible Conferences.
Special 10 The Lancaster News.
Atlanta, Ga. March 20. The
past few weeks have been red
letter ones here. with 80 many
big things happening.
The weather has been beauti-
full and spring-like up to a few
days ago when it turned sudden
ly cold again and in all probabili-
ty did considerable damage ow-
ing to the frost that came also.
There is hardly any probability
of much more cold weather and
the springy weather which is
bound to come will be very well
come.
The great Southern Commercial
Congress, which convened here
week before last, was one of the
greatest events of this kind that
has ever taken place in the city.
1t was truly great and impor-
tant gathering. There were peo-
pie here from all over the United
States and probably from other
countries too. This congress
drew some of the greatest states
men, financiers, educators, etc.
in the entire country. There
were four days devoted to the
congress and the programs for
each day were very interesting
and instructive. Speeches were
made by such men as President
Taft. Ex-President Theodore
Roosevelt, Gov. Woodrow Wilson,
of New Jersey. Secretary of War
Dickerson. Gov. David r. Fran
els, of Missouri, and many other
men of note.
The result or working out of
this session or convention of the
congress will no doubt do great
deal for the upbuilding of this
dear Southland of ours. Many
strong points were brought out
for the benefit of the entire
country.
A word more about the con-
gress. 1t was organized in 1908
and meets in some southern city
every year. The place for meet
ing next year isn't settled yet
but there are several cities bid
ding for it.
The social side of the congress
was quite big thing. Taft and
Roosevelt were rendered big
banquets and were entertained
in many other ways. The ban
quet in President Taft's honor
was one of the swellest ever CIV
en- here. The guests were limit
ed to the President. visiting gov
ernors and a few other prominent
men, and the price of each plate
was said to be ten dollars. Gov.
Browns reception to President
Taft was one of the important
social events. The reception by
University club in his honor was
another important affair. Taft
and Roosevelt had right strenu-
GUS days here for outside of the
social whirl they each made ad-
dresses to the negroes at one of
their addresses to the Congress.
1t was hoped that they would be
here together but Roosevelt was
here on Thursday and Taft Fri
day. These were great days
here.
The French Opera company of
New Orleans and Paris was here
week before last for five per-
formances of opera. They scor-
ed quite hit.

WIND TAKES HOUSE ON ICE
ACROSS LAKE CHAMPLAlN
Gust Carries Dwelling Twelve Miles
Over Slippery Surface Until
It Hits Opposite Shore. =

WESTPORT, n. Y, March 20.-Persons
living along the shore of Lake Cham
plain were astonished Saturday to see
house running away across the ice.
The owner Of Willsboro point. a PENN
sula opposite Burlington, wished to move
q house to a site about half a mile fur
Their along the point. To move 1t over
the land meant the destruction of many
shade trees To disengage ii from the
foundation and push it down on the icy
surface of the lake and slide 1t along to
its new position was much easier.
This was done. but while the workmen
we're arranging the skids to push the
house back on land a great gust OF wind
struck the house. and II started at live
ly gait up the lake. 1t took a southeaster-
ly course for the Vermont shore ana was
soon travelling at q forty-knot clip over
the frozen surface of the lake. The sight
of this forty-foo two-story building a. IL
twisted, tumbled, twirled and turned over
cracks and broken ice terrified the hsh
colony which lay directly In the path OF
the runaway.
The house finally banged diagonally on
q ridge Of ice and came to . standstili
after a twelve-mile run. almost to Split
rock, without any damage except to one
side and part OF the piazza.
When the wind subsidized team OF
horses towed the building back to itS site,
where 1t was secured. tethered to trees.

TAKEN ON MEXICAN SOIL,
DiAZ GOVERNMENT SAYS
Case of Blatt and Converse May Go
Before the Boundary
Commission.

Although not officially admitted. it is
understood that the Mexican government
maintains that the American insurrect0s.
Blatt and Converse. were captured In
Mexican territory, and that they were not
kidnapped on the United States side of the
boundary, as has been represented to the
State Department. The claim OF the
Mexican government is based on a special
report made by Senior Fernando Beitran
Puga Of the international boundary
commission, who visited the scenes of the
arrest and reported that the Americans
were taken into custody on Mexican soil.
In order to dispel all doubt on that
point, the Mexican government has sug-
xested that the question of the title to the
tract of land where the arrests were
made be submitted to the international
boundary commission for the purpose OF
settling the boundary question involved in
the arrests. With the geographical phase
of the question settled. there will be no
difficulty in reaching a decision as to
whether the territory Of the United
states was violated by Mexicans in max.
ing the arrests.
