MEN BANQUET.
Congregational Brotherhood
Entertain DR.. Northrup.

Another delightful banquet was
held at the La Grand on Tuesday
evening under the auspices of the
Congregational Brotherhood About
so men were present. Watzke's s
orchestra discoursed pleasing music
during the evening, and added much
to the pleasure of the occasion.
After the company had done full
justice to the viands which Landlord
Eckes had prepared. a program of
toasts was given. with Supt. J. T..
Fuller acting as toastmaster.
J. C. Morrison spoke of "The Pull
pit and the Press. Rev. J. T.
Hammond spoke of "Christian Eel
lowship," and said some very sem
sible things about the needless dupli-
cation of churches in small towns.
Supt. E. C. Higbie spoke of "the
School and the Church." and en-
phasized the part which Christianity
has in any we'll rounded education.
C. B. Randall spoke of "Christian
Brotherhood. and brought out the
fraternal work which men do today
thru civic societies. which they
should properly do as members of the
Christian church.
DR.. Cyrus Northrup. president of
the state university, was then intro
duced, and in the appeal which he
made to the men present it was easy
to understand the secret of his power
of winning the love and respect of
the many generations of students dur
ing the 26 years he had been at the
head Of the state. university. After
making some happy remarks on the
pleasure he had in being here, he
spoke of the lamentable condition of
the Christian church today since so
many of the men have drifted away
fromgit. Most men recognize that
to the Christian religion is due all
that is best in the world, and yet
men have allowed themselves to get
into an Indifferent attitude which
bodies i'll for the future welfare of
the country. He spoke of how this

Indifference had grown up and of the
appearance of opposition to the
church in which men allow them
selves to indulge. Yet men need
the church and the church needs the
men, and the manly thing for men to
do is to associate themselves in the
work of Christ thru the upbuilding of
his church.
The address created profound i'm
preston for he spoke as man to man
and appealed to and brought out the
best in the character of his hearers.
The company assembled felt grateful
for the opportunity of hearing DR..
Northrup, and to the Brotherhood for
bringing him here.

SPEAKER AGAIN
IS OvERRULED
PrOgfessIves Join Democrats
in Vote Against Him.
-.
APPEAL MADE BY FITZGERALD
Sustained by the Combined Votes OF
the Democrats and the Pro-
gressive Republicans.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE stirring
scene of the last session of congress,
when the house overthrow Speaker
Cannon and took the making of it's
rules into its own hands, was re-en-
acted On the floor of the house.
Threatened with what they believed
to be an effort to draw the teeth" OF
one of the most important of the new
rules, Democrats and insurgents by
vote of AS to 126 rallied to the sup
port of Representative Fitzgerald
(Dem., N. W and sustained him in his
appeal from the speakers ruling.
The fight developed as the result of
the second attempt to use the new
rule which gives the house power to
discharge a committee from further
consideration of a bill that has been
referred to it. The insurgents and the
Democrats believed that this rule was
iron clad.
When the house convened Speaker
Cannon gave recognition to Repre-
sentative Hull of Iowa, chairman of
the military affairs committee. who
moved that the house take up the con-
sideration of the military appropria,
tion bill. Mr.. Fitzgerald insisted upon
the consideration of a motion to dis
charge a committee, which was upon
the calendar, but Speaker Cannon ig-
nored him.
The Democratic member declared
that he was entitled to recognition and
yelled You'll overrule me if l make
point of order" =.
Debate Is Lively.
Insurgents. Democrats and regu.
lars jumped into the free debate that
followed. Upon the speakers refusal
to recognize Mr.. Fitzgerald the latter
raised point of order against the
taking up of the army appropriation
bill.
The speaker read his ruling from
manuscript. He held that Mr.. Hull
had the right of way.
Il appeal from the decision of the
chair" cried Mr.. Fitzgerald, but Con-
gresham Payne OF New York. Repub-
lican leader of the house, moved to
law the motion on the table
The Payne motion was the first test
of strength. 1t was defeated by vote
of 155 to 124. When the vote finally
was taken upon the appeal from
Speaker Cannon's decision, twenty
three insurgents and all but one of the
Democrats present voted against the
speaker. The result was the defeat
of his ruling by vote of 145 to 1875.
Congressman Steenerson was the only
Minnesota member to vote against the
speakers ruling. The Wisconsin mem
bers who voted against Cannon were
Cary, Kopp, Kusterman, Lenroot,
Morse, Nelson and Stafford.
Representative Saunders of Virginia
was the only Democrat vct;;.,-s .-s::a5s

TRUST rs INDIGNANT
Says Sherman Antitrust Law Has
Nothing to Do With
Them.

lGate City Leased Wire Service.1
BOSTON, Mass, Nov. 4.-Despite
the supreme courts now famous rul.
ing in the meaning OF the Sherman
antitrust law, the United States Shoe
Machinery Co., In its demurrer to an
Indictment charging violation of the
law, maintains that the Sherman
statute is unconstitutional. The de-
murrer was filed today through the
company's officers, Sidney w. Wilson,
president; Edward Hurd, William
Barbour and Elmer P. Howe, all d.
rectors.
The demurrer declares that the
provisions of the Sherman act are
too vague, indefinite and uncertain
to create and define an offense against
the United States" and that declaring
unreasonable restraints of interstate
trade or monopoly illegal, it delegates
to a body other than congress the
creation or definition of what consti-
tutes the offense, and therefore the
statute Is unconstitutional.
In attacking the seven counts OF
the indictment the demurrer empha-
sizes that the recent decisions Of the
United States supreme court have
mainly had to deal with the civil or
equity side of relief prescribed by
the Sherman act. The present case
Is brought under the criminal pro-
visions of the statute.
The defendants declare counts in
the indictments are faulty in that
they do not charge that the alleged
monopoly acquired by the United
Shoe Co. for the defendants, acts as
constituting monopoly in "unreas-
enable restraint Of interstate COM
merce or trade.
It is further asserted that inasmuch
as the articles in the acquired com
panys and the United Shoe Company
are patented, they do not come with
in the Sherman act
It is not alleged in the counts, the
officials declare with sufficient GER
tainity that how, or in what manner
interstate trade was unreasonable or
illegally restrained by the United
Shoe Company. The defendants say
It does not appear that the alleged
offense was committed here. The
company is New Jersey company.

MEXICANs LOOKING
FOR BIG UPRISING
Dawn Of Sunday Expected as Time
for Reyes Revolution to
Start

[Gate City Leased Wire Service.]
| JUAREZ, Mex. Nov. with tIe
dawn of Sunday, thousands of Mexi-
cans in the leading cities of Mexico
will begin to await the fulfillment of
a vague rumor that the Reyes party is
to join the great uprising against
Madero on that day.
From all corners of Mexico today
come stories that tomorrow the Reyes
leaders, fully supplied with arms and
funds, would rise in all the cities and
towns of Mexico and call upon the
people to fight the government OF
Francisco l. Madero which goes in.o
office at Mexico City on Monday.
The excuse Of the Reyes party, in
influencing the people is that Madero
in overthrowing Diaz because Of his
oppression, has fallen into the power
of Jose Yves Limantour, the powerful
cientifico leader and the very man
who is generally supposed to have
controlled the Diaz government.
The situation in Juarez tonight IS
typical of the unrest which will pre-
vail until Madero takes over the
presidency Monday. Up and down the
dark streets throngs of blanketed
poems passed in a drIzzIlng rain, jas.
bering excitedly of what is expected
to happen before sun down tomor-
row. Most Of them indicated that
they fully expected the Reyesta up.

crowds of poems gathered in the
streets near the bright glare from the

to happen.
