A soc. C.ALIST IN !. CONGRESS FIRST {.
 TIME TOMORROW
Advent of New Party an Event of National Importance = Berger Outlines His Plans
Special from United Press. )

Special from United Press.)
 Washington, April 3.-The advent of the Socialist party in Congress, to- morrow, will be an event of national importance and holds out promise for the greatest advance that party has ever known, according to a statement of principles and purposes issued, to- day, by Representative Victor l.. Bert ger, of Milwaukee, Wis, the first Socialist Congressman. e-r.@: e.-
 "Of course. :Irealize3 that I am buf ! one Congressman among nearly 500 in the two Houses" said Berger. T cannot s4:expect to revoiutionize the country single-f1a nded.z But because I have right to- expect that the chance will be- given me to4 explain our point of view-on- important mat ters I expect, further, to initiats some of these measures, myself Socialism necessarily implies tha fullest extension of Democracy. The Socialist party the world over strives to obtain for the people the greatest measure of. political freedom. Our purpose is just two-fold, political and industrial. L-
 : "In common, with Socialist Iegisia- tors all over the world, I shall vote for every measure, no matter bt 7 whom introduced, which gives politica1I freedom or economic security to the working. class; which safeguards the
 
 women and children from sthe fac tory; which 1essens the burden and misery of the workers and adds to their leisure and comfort. r~
 s'The advent of a new party in the Congress of the United States Is an
 occasion of historic importance. AL
 though America is the latest country
 to win Socialistic representation it is the most promising of all countries for general Socialist triumph. No-'' where else has capitalism had. so free
 a hand; nowhere has 1t reached 60 high 9 stage of development and so predominating a control of social and political life, and therefore, no coun=
 try is so ripe for a transition to Soc- ialism. ..t-r
 Perhaps no other country than America-certainly no European country-can establish Socialism by 1 itself Every European country IS1 absolutely dependent upon othery countries and even upon other cong tinents, for supplies of food and raw materials. America, on the other hand, has a surplus of everything needed by civilized man. It is, there fore, the only country which can es- | tablish a Socialistic commonwealth without other countries ''-

 Ch ldren Receive Holy Com muniOn - Powerful Closing Sermons-Father MuIry Ad- dresses $500 Men in Boston

The most successful missions in the histories of st. Mary's and St. Pat tricks churches closed last. evening with throngs of men renewing bap- tisrnal vows and kneeling devoutly to receive the papal benedictfons. The missions mark one of the most re- Tnarkable devotional periods in the Catholic church of Bridgeport. In season given to unusual observance of religious ceremonies, the Paulists and Jesuits sent to the city jealous. eloquent and pious men whose words, uttered to great gatherings of women and men inspired their auditors to better things.
 Rev. Father John O'Rourke, s. J., closed the mission at St. Patrick's church at 7:3O last evening. Fathers Joseph MuIry and Michael Walsh, both of the Society of Jesus, were in Boston last night whither they has tened from Bridgeport early yesterday to open a mission at the Church of the Immaculate Conception. Father ORourke preached an eloquent ser mon, comparing the Christian with the soldier. He called attention to the four classes of bearers of arms, the Seserter. the mercenary. the soldier inspired by, duty to his country, and
 
 or his cause Likening the Christian life to that of the soldier. he urged hls hearers to seek to become inspired Oy sentiments of love, thus to gain the grace of final perseverance.
 The mission at St. Patrick's was the first in seven years. \ dozen have -h.7erl baptised.-and many more are under instruction in preparation for baptism and reception into the church. There were 4.500 at the altar rail during the mission, this number be- fnS large from the practice of many of daily communion, an idea greatly faVored by the Jesuits.
 The closing exercises last night were especially solemn. Filled to the doors with men in all walks of life, .he church was ablaze with candles. held aioft by each one in the congre- Sation. Following the lead of Father G'Rourke, the congregation uttered in strong voice sturdy renewal of bap- -tisnlar vows, then knelt for the papal henediction.
 The mission at St Mary's was clos ed by Rev. Father N. F. Smith who with Rev. O. A. McGratl1. both of the --Pauiist order. has been conducting it for two weeks. The scene here was elually stirring. The big church was scarcely large enough to accommodate the immense throng Of men.

RECALL ELECTION ,
 TO DECIDE FATE !;
 OF TACOMA MAYOR
Special from United Press.


 Tacoma, Wash, April 3.-The poii-l tical fate of A. w. Fawcett, eommis- sion mayor of Tacoma, charged with incompetency and extravaganza in of -} flee, will be decided at a recall elec-@ tion here tomorrow. Candidates op-j posing him are W. W. Seymour,1 wealthy businessman and A.C. Bailey,I a Socialist. Interest is added to thel outcome of the election by reason of the charges openly made and not de- nied that the recall proceedings against Fawcett were instituted byS the liquor interests in retaliation forl Fawcett's action in securing the pass- age of the anti-treating ordinancel which was ratified at a referendum election two weeks. ago. At that elec- tion the balance of power. lay with1 the women voters who exercised thsi right of the ballot for the first time.
 Whether they. will follow up theI11 heavy vote for the anti-treating ordi1 nance by casting their ballots, tomor= row, in favor of the author of theI measure or whether, having sdminis.l tered a rebuke to the liquor interestsI they will throw their support to Sey~I mour, is the chief question.

HARRISON FARMER
ROBBED AT PLATTEVILLE.
Unknown Assailants Bound and Gagged
Walter Steinhoff and Rifled His
Pockets of Small Sum.

Walter Stelnhoff, prosperous
young farmer aged about 90. Of the
town of Harrison, was held up and
robbed by unknown parties in the
barn yard at his fathers home in
Platteville last Sunday evening.
Mr.. Steinhoff states that while in
the barn yard he was suddenly leaped
upon from behind and a blanket or
something of the kind thrown over
his head so that he even failed to see
who his assailants were or how many
there were, but he thinks there we're
two of them.
He was gagged, bound and his
pockets rlfed of So. 40 all the cash he
had with him. The thieves then dis
appeared. Being unable to call for
assistance, Steinhoff rolled from the
barn to the roadside where he attract
ed the attention of a neighbor and
was released from his unpleasant con-
dition.
The thieves have not been ap-
pretended, although bloodhound
from Richland Center, the one used
in the Madison kidnapping case, was
employed in an effort to track them.

ESCAPE FROM co. JAIL
NEARLY SUCCESSFUL
Intended Delivery Discovered
Just in Time by Sheriff.
Steel Bars of Inner Cage Had Been
Sawed Off in Preparation
for Quick Break.

On Friday last Sheriff Hymer
became convinced that something was
wrong with existing conditions in
the Jail and proceeded to make an
investigation. He discovered that
several of the steel bars comprising
the ;nner cage had been sawed off but
soaped into place, so that when the
opportune time arrived they could be
quickly broken off and an escape made
into the corridor from whence all that
prevented adash for liberty was the
bars of the outer windows.
The work had been done with the
blades of couple Of case knives, in
which hicks had been cut, and these
were later found where they had been
secreted by the prisoners. The guilty
ones, or at least the leaders are
believed to be Tiny Belz and prisoner
named Hoosier, of Platteville, who
recently served short term in Jail.
The soft iron of the outer window
bars could not be cut with the tools
employed on the steeIs bars, and it is
alleged that one of the prisoners gave
S. to Hoosier and the latter was to
procure and in some way furnish to
the others, after his release, tools that
would enable them to cut through the
window bars.
The present inmates Of the Jail, on
being questioned in the matter. claim
ed that Hoosier had done most of the
cutting of the bars. aoosler was
brought back from Platteville last
Saturday for a hearing, and the
several prisoners produced as wit
nessee. When placed on the stand
they contradicted the statements they
had privately made to the Sheriff and
all but one Of them swore that Hoosier
had nothing to do with it. Housier
was accordingly released tor lack Of
evidence
The knives, with which the work
was done, are said to have been
secreted for long while past. behind
a loose brick underneath the steel cage
and it is claimed they were placed
there by a prisoner several years ago,
which knowledge was possessed by
Hoosier and turned to advantage in
the present instance.

Last Friday.
Some Changes in the Personnel of the
Faculty-Many Former Teachers
Are Retained.

Ali Lancaster schools opened yes
terday September II. at o'clock.
During the later days of last week the
teachers, new and old, arrived in the
city, and the scholars were busy
making preparations for the school
opening, greeting their former
teachers and trying to settle in their
own minds the question of which
stranger in town was to be their new
teacher. The matters which most
puzzle the out of town scholars at the
present time are where to find good
boarding places, and how to get all
the rules of the school into their
minds.
We have very strong and efficient
corp of teacher for this year and the
schools here will surely keep up to
the high standard of work which has
heretofore been shown. Following is
