In an old building in Philadelphia,
where previously chairs had been
mended, the Salvation Army had its
beginning in the United States in
March, 1880 Its report for the last
year, just issued shows the tremendous
growth which 1t has attained in the 80
years Outdoors last year it is stated
that $4,000 meetings were held, at
tended by 100000 persons. In halls
the meetings numbered 215, 900 and
100000 adults and 100000 children
came to them.
The number of converts claimed to
have been made by the army last year
was 1864. 4 few years ago army no.
tells were started to take the place of
tanned for private profit Last year no
fewer than 1.s61.677 lodgings were pro-

to do for which wages are paid. Last
year the army gave 2,156,155 meals to
poor men in return for work, and gave
them in wages 1926, 000 Employment
was found for more than 10000 per-

PUSHING SOCIAL SERVICE
BY CHURCH COMMISSION
The social service commission of the
federal council has set on foot a plan
for a social service convention, to be
held early in the autumn the purpose
of which l. the inauguration
of social service work in all religious
bodies represented in the council
1t is stated that of these bodies,
some 80 in number and representing
100000 to $4,000 900 members, only
two bodies, the Presbyterian and Con-
pregational, have now commissions with
organized work and salaried secre-
taries to push it. a third, the Episco-
pal, has taken steps to start such. At
least a dozen more commissions will
be urged by the new secretary of the
council the Rev. DR.. Charles T. Mac
farland.
The theory of the council is that So
cia1 service can only be adequately rem
dered by the churches through fedora
ton. and that such service ought to be
placed upon the same level of eff
ficiency and financial support as are
Christian missions and education. The
new secretary, the Rev. DR.. mcfarland,
is chairman of arrangements for the
holding Of the social conference next

committee of United States Senators
investigating the Lorimer case do
cided today to snquirer into acts of
the Illinois Fish Commission, as a
result Of an argument precipitated
by the examination Of States At
torney Burke of Sangamon county
Mr.. Burke testified that fishermen
throughout the Illinois valleys have
been accustomed for years to con-
tribute to fund to influence legis-
lation ct Springfield. The Sangamon
county prosecutor then named an
alleged specific instance of this
character and identified letter
which, he said, bore out this state
ment.
Attorney Henecy, of Mr.. Lorimer' S
counsel, declared that the letter,
submitted by Burke, was directly
contrary to the witness testimony.
This stuff about the Illinois river
fishermen has absolutely no bearing
on the question of Mr.. Lorimer's
election or on the question of the So
called jack pot" he said "and ]

sible object in showing how much
money these rivermen raised during

make complete inquiry into the
origin and character Of all fish bills

tive assembly, with the object of
determining the truth Of charges

reached today in the arguments be-

for and against the plan OF dissolu-
tion filed by the American Tobacco
Company,
The decree Is expected within a

plan is in accordance with the de-
cision OF the Supreme court OF the
United States which held the Ameri-
can Tobacco Co., to be an illegal
combination. in restraint of trade and
ordered that it be disintegrated to
restore competition.

Interest in the argument centered
In the appearance of Attorney Cen
eral Wickersham He said he ap-
proved generally of the plans but
made recommendations which made
protest on the part of the stock and
bond holders of the American To
bacco Co
Mr.. Wickersham insisted that the
court by injunction, to prevail from
three to five years, reserve to the
government the right to appeal to
the court at any time it should ap-
pear that the dissolution of the trust
had not resulted in conditions In
harmony with the antitrust law.
= Joseph n Ghoate, coansel fer the
six per cent bond holders, who arc
to surrender their bonds for stock in
the new segregated company, pro
tested against this amendment.
Characterizing the alliance of the
United Cigar Store Co. of the trust
as one of the sources for complaint
of the independent tobacco trade,
the attorney general urged that the
Stores Co. be segregated through the
sale Of its stock controlled by trust
holders outside investors,

The attorney general declared he
had sought to bring about plan
of reorganization without resort to

subject, expressing desire to con
serve the legitimate interest of prop
orty.
Concerning the division of tobacco
brands near the proposed re-organiz-
alton, the attorney general found nc
grounds for objections made by the
