BIBLE STUDENTS MARCH
GREAT RELIGIOUS PAGEANTRY
IN SPARTAN CITY.
Led by Former Governor NJ. F. Ansel,
Fifteen Hundred Members Of BIZ
hIe Classes Parade

BILE Classes, Parade.
Spartanburg had a most remark
able parade on last Wednesday. With
the streets lined with thousands OF
spectators, a procession OF fifteen
hundred Bible students marched
from the Court House, on Magnolia
street, to Converse College and back
this afternoon.
It was perhaps the most impress
sive religious sight ever witnessed III
the South, and certainly the most I'M
pressive ever known in South Caro-
lima. A marked feature of this long
parade of Bible students was the va
rious classes of men and boys which
composed the long line.
Headed by members of the Spar
tanburg police force, who are also
members of various Bible classes,
and followed by Ex-Governor Martin
F. Ansel and other notable guests,
the line was composed Of profession
al men, college professors, those per-
sons living in the mill districts, who
are members of their Bible classes,
and also there were many from the
country churches near Spartanburg.
Each Bible class marched under its
own banner and some had their
bands along, while the orchestra
from the Bible class of Bethel Meth
odist Church, OF Spartanburg, occu-
pied seats on huge wagon.
Mounted on this wagon there was
also a piano, and while the line was
traversing the most crowded business
parts Of the city, hymns were sung,
making it a most impressive process
sion and one that will ever linger In
the minds of those who witnessed
or participated in it.
The stores and business concerns
Of the city were closed in order that
the employees could march In this
line, openly protesting their faith
and their religion. The ministers of
Spartanburg acted as marshals.
The second day of the annual Con-
yention of the Sunday-school workers
now in session will mark an epocn
in the history Of the Association.
Three Of the greatest and most en-
thuslastic meetings were held. be-
sides the Bible class parade.

Kohlsaat Declares That Lorimer Used
Money in His Election.
KNOWS this TO BE TRUE
But the Venerable Publisher De-
cined Repeatedly to Tell the In
vestigating Committee Where He
Got His Information or Who Told
Him about Matter.

H. H. Kohlsaat, publisher of the
Chicago Herald, told the Illi.
nois Senate investigating committee
Wednesday that he knew 100000

of William Lorimer to the United
States Senate.
He refused to give the committee
the source of his information, not
withstandlng the committee has the
power to imprison him because OF
his refusal.
When Mr.. Kohlsaat was first called
to the stand, he was asked where he
obtained his information on which he
wrote an editorial saying 100000
has been raised to elect Lorimer.
Mr. Kohlsaat declined to answer a
number of questions. He said he
could not violate a confidence.
Attorney Healy put direct ques-
tions to him asking if his informant
had said he was asked for $4,000.
81 decline to answer" he said.
"Did he say that nine other Inen
had been asked for $4,000 each?"
"I refuse to answer"
"Is he resident of Chicago?"
"I decline to answer"
"Is he alive now?"
"He is"
Would you denounce any citizen
who takes the stand you have taken
here?" asked Senator Burton.
"Any man who will violate con-
fldence Is not worth snap. / would
not let my Court reporter viaIate a
confidence. no newspaper man IAN
violate confidence. That is my
code of morals"
"You have been demanding this in
vestigation and now you refuse to aid
us?"
81 appreciate the position. but
will not violate. this confidence"
The committee then went into ex-
ecutive conference. Everyone except
Mr.. Kohlsaat, Attorney Iealy anc
! members of the committee were or
dered out Of the room.
The questions were again put to
.Ir. Kohlsaat. Again he refused alb
solutely to answer.
The doors were then reopened and
Mr.. Kohlsaat was given third op'
portunity to answer the questions oi
the committee; this he again refused
to do. Mr.. Kohlsaat was excused un-
til 10 o'clock, Thursday morning
April 6.

CHEAPEN THINGS
THE DEMOCRATS PLAN A BIG
CIT IN TARIFF DUTIES.
The House Will Make Sweeping Re-
ductions ON Wool, Cotton and 9th,

ductions ON Wool, Cotton and 9th,
er Necessities.
All rates Of duty in the woolen
schedule will be lowered more than
so per cent. No article in that sched-
ule will be, permitted to retain half
of the protection now afforded by the
Payne Aldrich act. A complete mod
iflcation and lowering of the entire
list will be- made. These predictions
are made In letter from Washington
to the New York World.
The letter goes on to say that all
the oppressive rates in the cotton
schedule will be heavily cut. Only
Just and equitable protection will De
allowed to remain. The most OBJ
noxious features of the schedule will
be treated with even more severity
than the duties applied to woolen
goods.
This is the prediction made by a
leading member of the House Ways
and Means Committee, now engaged
in arranging some scheme Of tariff
revision. He says it is a perfectly
safe assumption that the high places
in the cotton schedule will be hit
hard and the woolen duties more
than cut in twain.
Other prominent Democrats believe
that rates on tools, farm machinery,
paints and other necessaries for the
producer will be materially reduced.
"The things that the farmer has
to buy will be put on the free list" "
declared member of the committee.
eve are going to see that the rec
procity agreement does not hurt the
tiller of the SOIL
It is realized by the more conserva-
tive element that this is probably &C.
ing too far in the way of prediction.
It is unlikely that all those things
which the farmer buys will be placed
on the free list. There may be heavy
shaving of the rates now imposed,
but all the great mass or articles
comprising such a list of necessities
must bear some taxation to meet the
requirements of revenue.
The temper now manifested by a
majority of the Ways and Means
Committee augurs we'll for the ef-
fective downward revision Of the tar
if. There is general disposition
to eliminate all the most objection
able duties. 1t is especially desired
to lessen the cost Of living. Rates
imposed on wearing apparel, farming
implements, foodstu!fs and articles
of daily use will be literally Lowered.
The Ways and Means Committee
will meet again Saturday and take up
the subject Of tariff revision. The
committee is having serious trouble
agreeing on a course Of procedure.
One faction would pass at least three
tariff revision bills first, and then
take up reciprocity, while the other
would reverse this order.
Over this point the caucus called
for Saturday will split when a Wig
orous demand will be made for a
complete revision of certain tariff
schedules. Some members of the
Ways and Means Committee would
pass reapportionment bill and 81 as
far as possible toward providing for
the direct election of United States
Senators.
