SENATOR POuRS HOT SHOT INTO
 RUSSIA TODAY
RAINIER OF MARYLAND FIRES BROADSIDE AT CHAR FOR CRUEL PERSECUTION OF THE JEWS.
fsnac,a, from ITnited Press. ,

Especial from United PreSS.)
 Washington, Dec. <19.-"The night of barbarism must close, so far as we are concerned" said Senator Isadore Rayner, (Dem., Md.), in a vigorous speech in the Senate, today, on the abrogating of the treaty with Russia. This is the land of religious liberty so. ordained by the wisdom of God and so created by the genius of men. We cannot permit any autocratic government to visit this iniquity up- on our citizens. The day of religious inquisiton iS over. It is useless to talk of negotiations. The Russian government cannot be negotiated with.
 without criticising the State De- partment or any one else. I cannot understand why this government has not long ago demanded of those in authority in this despOtic land that if they do not amend their code of religious persecution and become proselytes at the altars of reason and humanity that they will no longer be tolerated from certain friendly con- tact and intercourse with our free institutions.
 What is the cause of this intoler- ance? Have these people committed any crime against the laws or the in- stitut;ons of Russia? Yes, they have committed the same crime which their forefathers committed an,l which their poSterity will continue to commit to the remotest generation They have worshipped God according to the traditions of their faith and the dictates of their conscience.
 "I have read it's Draconian code, which has been. translated into every language and what wounds me to the heart is that this Iliad of a people whose echoing from place to place upon any of the highways and cen ters of civilization.
 "If the emperor of Russia. who IS at the head of the ecclesiastical church of the realm. by supreme act of humanity directed against the prostrate victims of his intolerance, will offer them the alterna tive of either accepting the faith of their prosecutors or the imposition of any additional servitude, l think I know what the result will be.
 They will never anbandon the al- tars of their fathers. is nothing but persecution directed against citizens of the United States. You ask for other methods of relief. There is no other method. Do we propose to keep treaties and allow other governments with whom we have made them to break them at their will? What civilized nation would assume such a humiliatinS position? The heart of this compact has been pierced and. raising, as it does with us, the question of reliS- ious freedom, its most sensitive fea- ture has been mutilated and trampied

Two Men Blamed
 For Fatal Crash
 Of Silk Train

Especial frosn United Press.
 Odessa, Minn.. Dec. 19-At least two men are blamed. whose negligence. railroad officials claim, was responsible and could have prevented the disaster here yesterday when at least II per sons were killed and 23 injured, by a rear end collision on the c. M. & St. Paul Railroad, according to testimony given before the coroner's inquest to- day
 One inexplicable incident developed today. When the Columbian Li,nited's s First section approached Odessa. the engineer stopped when he saw the sig nal Danger" set ahead. It was this stop that caused the second section, the silk train, to crash into the linn ited. But Albert Adams, night oper- ator at Odessa, produced a witness to corroborate his testimony that, when he left his office for moment. the block signal was set as Clear"
 The flagman on the Columbian is blamed for not running back a good distance to stop the. second section, and. the operator for not holding the second section until the Odessa block was Clear" He swore, however, that the train dispatcher ordered him to let the silk train through.
 One. body was still unidentified to- day.

Wilson, who since his election as Mayor has been holding both offices. The new coroner will take office Jan uary 1, 1912.
 There were nine judges present at the meeting today. In addition to the five Supreme court justices, who are also considered as judges of the Superior court, Judges Reed, Curtis, Burpee and Gager were also present
 Clifford B. Wilson was named as coroner in June, 1909, for a term of three years, so his term would have expired in June, 1912. There is little doubt, however, that Coroner Phelan will be appointed to succeed himself next June, as it has always been the custom to reappointe efficient off cials.
 Mr. Phelan has a distinguished rec ord in public and private activity. He was elected Secretary Of State in the famous deadlock days, when the Dem ocratic Governor and State ticket was

 For 40 years, the pleading voices of these helpless victinAs of religious intolerance have gone across the wa ter for their rights. It has all been in vain. Now they look to us as their ancestors in the wilderness looked to the cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night which led them to their deljverance.

 The committee is given an unusual latitude. It is likely that the e1n- ployment of expert auditors to go over the city's accounts will prove a costly job. But the administration believes that the results to be attain ed will justify. the expenditure.

The outdoor school may be said to
be still in the. experimental stage in
this city, but the results of the work
done in the spring are all that the
peoole who were responsible for the es-
tGblishment of the school could hope
for and it is certain that another term
is all that will be needed to demon
stratc fully the value of the school
to the children of the city to those to
whom the school must look in the fut-
ure for support and maintenance. The
accommodations in this school are
necessarily limited at this time and APP
plicants for any vacancies will be as
signed places in the order in which
their applications are received. There
is still room for few more pupils in
the school which will open next Mon
day, but it is expected that the testi-
monials of the great improvement in
the health of the children who attend
ed in the spring term given by their
parents will bring enough applications
to more than fill the vacancies.

NOTICE TO SCHOOL PATRONS,

The open air school will be ready to
receive children on Monday, Sept. is,
1911. 1t has been moved to the Balm
school district. When it became neces-
sary to remove the building from the
Frank school yard, it was found that
the Balm school situation was the best
one available. The basement, where
the children lunches may be served,
is convenient, and can be fixed with
little expense to meet kitchen and din
ing room requirements. 1t is regret
ted that the school is so far from some
of the children who desire to attend;
but to locate it there was the best that
could be done, all things considered.
Children whose physical condition
makes it impossible or undesirable that
they should attend the regular school
all day will be admitted up to the
number of twenty-five. A statement
from physician will be required. The
periods of rest, the light study pro-
gram, the physical care given children
by the teachers and matron make it a
desirable place for the nervous sickly
child. The average gain in weight of
the eighteen who attended regularly
during the nine weeks last spring was
two and a half pounds. Testimonials
have come from several of the parents
that the children have never been so
well as now, due probably to changed
habits inculcated during this member
ship in the school and continued in va
cation. Mrs. Irene M. Heating will
again serve as teacher and Mrs. T. B.
Whitaker as matron The enrolment
is partly completed, but further appli-
cations will be receiced by the super
intendent at her Office in the city hall
during the week.

Reports of the sale of liquor to min,
ors are increasing again and the parties
who have been guilty of this practice
may find themselves in serious trouble
if they continue to supply liquor to
children. The reluctance of parents
whose children have obtained liquor to
prosecute the men who sold it to them
and expose their children to all of the
notoriety of trial in the courts is
easily understood, but they will be
given no choice in the matter if the
sales to minors are not stopped. This
does not refer to cases of selling to
minors where the saloon man NAV have
been deceived as to the age of the pur.
chaser, but to eases where there can be
no possibility of the seller having been
imposed upon and where sales have
been deliberately made to boys in their
early teens.
