vast numbers OF Americans. But the
opium exclusion act, so far rs it's
prime object Is concerned has proved
inadequate in that IL Is still possible
under the act TO import for immedi:,t g
transshipmcnt by sea opium prepared
Tor smoking, with the result that
large quantities of this form OF tho
irug reach Pacific ports are immc-
Lately transshipped to nciEhboring
countries. and smugglcd into the
Cnitcd States
II would seem, therefore, necessary
80 to amend the opium act n TO pro-
1ibit any vessel engaged in trade from
any foreign port or place 10 any place
within the jurisdiction of the United
states. including territorial waters
thereof. or between places within the
jurisdiction of the United States from,
carrying the substance or article
known as opium, prepared for smoking
Such an amendment to the opium eX-
ciusiOn act would strike at the root
of the matter by preventing SHIPS In
the Pacific trade from transporting this
form OF opium TO the United states
Such an amendment would also be OF
great assistance to the Philippine
government. In that Ii would prevent
all vessels trading between Hongkong
Singapore and Borneo from shipping
opium at these ports and bringing II
To the islands.
Needs Further Amendment.
The opium exclusion act needs still
further amendment. One of the chief
results attained in the international
Opium Commission was declarat ton
to the effect that 1t is the duty OF
opium producing countries TO prevent
at ports of departure the shipment
OF opium and it's preparations to coun-
tries that prohibit 1T entry. Not wait
Ing for the international opium con-
ference to conventionaliZe this declara-
ton. several governments have already
made it part Of their law, and this
government has been requested by
them 10 do likewise. 1t would seem
then to he necessary to amend further
the opium exclusion act so az TO make
1t unlawful TO export or cause to be
exported from the United States and
from Territories under it's control or
jurisdiction or from countries In which
the United states exercises cxtratcrrt-
iorial rights. where such exportatio

SCIENTIST CHURCH
SPLIT IN NEWARK
First Reader lie PORN Removed
by Trustees, and Twenty-Five
Members Resign.

Newark. y. j.. January 1J.-Trouble
that has been fomcnting for several
years In the First Church Of Christ.
Scientist, In Newark, reached climaS
when II became known yesterday that
twenty-five members OF the congrcga-
ton had resigned. Tho dlsscnsion Is
said to have been the result OF the dis
missal of Frederick w. Lo PORN ot
1882 Broad Street. who was the first
reader in the church.
What caused lie Forms dismissal
could not be learned. but 1t Is declared
that his removal disqualihcs him from
becoming Il reader OF a second church
which lie proposed TO establish in New .
ark. The establishment OF branch
churches is under the direct Jurisdic-
ton of the Mother Church at Boston.
and that the first reader in Newark
was dismissed by the action OF his own
board of trustees is said to prevent any
further move on his part toward the
establishment OF a second church there.
Affairs in the congregation of the
First Church OF Christ now arc said
to be In much confusion, and 1t was
this shat caused the withdrawal OF
about one-tifth of it's members II is
out Of sympathy for the first reader.
Those remaining declare, however,
that had not the twenty-five members
resigned voluntarily they would have
been asked to do SO by the board OF
trustees. the governing body of tho
Newark Church. According to one of
the trustees. the seeding members
left the church before, about four
years ago, and We're rcinstated upon
their request.
Before they were again taken into
the fold they had 10 understand that
they must abide by the rules IA laid
Down by the Mother Church. in Boston.
This. IL Is asserted, they did not do,
aud they became aware that expulsion
awaited them.
Members of the church who could he
found Yesterday did not care to dis
cuss tho trouble but when they were
made aware that tho matter was much
in tho limelight. they became more
communicative. Ono of them said that
lie Form had been asked by the board
of trustees to resign. because lie had
assumed too much personal power.

Der the Far Blue Hills Of Idaho
Ger the far blue hills Of Idaho
When the sun is set mid the twilight's
glow,
We Il ride together, away, away,
When the moon shines bright at the close
of day,
Where coyotes howl and the night winds
blow,
O'er the far blue hills of Idaho.
Der the far blue hills of Idaho
When the cowboys rest and the camp
fires low,
Wen linger beneath the starlit sky
And sing old songs of days gone by;
Wen drink to the health Of Bill and Joe,
Bronzed men of the hills Of Idaho.
Ger the far blue hills Of Idaho
Where the softly signing pine trees grow,
We Il silently sit while the cleaning rings
With the lonely song the cowboy sings,
AS he thinks Of the girl be once loved SO,
Who's far from the hills Of Idaho.
Ger the far blue hills Of Idaho
Echoes wildly our gay 'Hallol''
When we've roped the ponies with steady
hand,
And marked them with the boss's brand,
0, this is the life you all should know,
The life mid the hills Of Idaho.
Ger the far blue hills OF Idaho
When the sun is set mid the twilight's
glow,
Wen ride together, away, away,
When the moon shines bright at the close
of day,
When coyotes howl and the night winds
blow,
Der the far blue hills Of Idaho.
