WOODMEN ARE CHECKED
Kansas Camp Restrained by
Court Order From Form
ing New Order.

ROCK ISLAND. Ill.,. August 1O.-Fed-
eral Judge Ralph c. Campbell at Fort
Scott. Kan. today issued a temporary
injunction restraining 1853 local camps OF
the Modern Woodmen of America. out
of 900 in the state, from proceeding with
the organization of an order called the
Kansas Fraternal Woodmen. The court
forbids action of any kind until August
"a the date set for the final hearing.
Head Clerk c. w. Hawes, at head
quarters of the society in this city, said
t. society's counsel entertained no
doubt that the temporary injunction
would be made permanent.
This secession is due in part to a
revision of rates of the society at a
Chicago meeting of the camp of the
national convention last January, but
principally to a desire of a few Wood
men for office" Mr. Hawes said. "They
are using this rate change as a pre-
text We have the support of a ma
jority of the members and all state
insurance departments in the action
taken by our supreme lawmaking
body. The society is now doing busi-
ness under the new rates and thou
sands of old members are transferring
to the new plan every day.

CONSTANTINOPLE. August 1O.-The
details of the earthquake which are COM
ing in slowly owing to the interruption
of the wires. indicate that the seismic
disturbance was widespread. Hundreds
of persons have been killed, thousands are
homeless and outbreaks of fire have oc-
CURED in many towns and villages. Great
destruction has been caused by the up
heaval.
The entire district between CONSTANT
nople and Adrianople felt the shock Sc
verely. Fugitives from Myriophito report
800 killed and 6G0 injured. The town was
still burning when they left. Ganos-H -Hora
has been wiped out. eighty persons be-
ing killed and thirty injured The
wrecked buildings took fire and most of
them burned to the ground
Shar-Koi was completely destroyed and
two nearby villages were engulfed
Adrianople suffered little damage. but
Tchorlu was partly destroyed by the
earthquake and fire.
Narrowing Accounts of Havoc.
The center of the disturbance appears
to have been in the region of the Darda-
nelles. Eye-witnesses from that section
give narrowing accounts of the havoc
wrought. The majority of the houses in
Gallipoli are in ruins and the people are
camping in the fields. Tchanak-Kalessi
is in an equally bad plight, but the loss
of life in these towns is SMALL although
the injured are many.
Warships anchored in the Dardanelles
felt the shock severely. 1t was first at
tributed to Italian torpedo boats. The
captain of the American steamer Vir-
ginia reports that the lighthouse at
disappeared and that the villages in the
surrounding country are in flames. He
was unable to anchor and render assist
ance owing to the violent movement of
the sea.

Colonel Says Progressive Con-
vention Begins New Era in
Political History.

OYSTER BAY, n. Y, August 1O.-.Win
or lose. it's a fight worth making" said
Col. Roosevelt today. Whatever the out
come of the campaign which is now
opening. it is his opinion that a new era
in American political history will be
dated from the progressive convention
held in Chicago this week.
For more than forty years, the eX-
President said. sporadic reform move
ments have come into existence, many of
campaign of 1896 and the populist move
ment as examples. Most of them, he con-
tinued, had contained something good,
but were coupled with quack remedies
worse than the disease they We're sup
posed to cure.
Good Points of All.
The good points of them all, he said,
had been gathered together in the pro-
gressive party's policies. and for the first
time there was given to the country these
ideas. without the accompaniment OF
what he termed preposterous declara-
tions which would make it impossible
for sane men to follow. The progressive
party. he asserted. had started on the
right basis and was sure to make a wide
appeal.
The work or organization, said Col.
Roosevelt, had gone on more rapidly
than he had thought possible.
The progressive party's stand on the
tariff. Col. Roosevelt believes, will be a
source Of great strength. Some one had
expressed it we'll. he said, by telling him
that the republican tariff was a tariff
for privilege and the democratic tariff
"a tariff for destruction but that no
party before had ever stood for a tariff
for labor. 1t is his belief that when the
stand of the progressive party is thor
oughly understood it will win many
votes from both of the old parties.

BILL GOES TO CONFERENCE
CIVIC BODIES FILE PROTEST.

The Senate yesterday afternoon voted
to insist on it's amendments to the Pan
anna canal bill when a message was re-
ceived from the House in which that
body refused to agree to the Senate
amendments.
The bill was sent to conference on
motion of Senator Brandegee of Con-
necticut, chairman of the Senate inter-
oceanic canal committeee, and the fol-
lowing conferees were appointed on the
part of the Senate: Senators Brandegee
Connecticut; Bristow, Kansas, and SIM
mons, North Carolina.
The House in requesting a conference
named as it's managers Representatives
Adamson, Sims and Stevens of Mime
sofa. That the Panama measure will not
pass TO final enactment as law without a
further fight against the amendment per-
mitting American registry for foreign
built ships owned by Americans. was
indicated late yesterday when kilograms
OF protest were received from the New
port News chamber OF commerce and
other civic bodies in shipbuilding cen
ters.
Effect of Senate Amendment.
Tie amendment put into the bill by the
Senate opens the way to American own
srs of foreign-bult ships to enjoy the
privileges of American registry, provided
they keep their ships exclusively in the
trade to and from foreign ports 1t is
understood that many House members are
demanding that if foreign built ships are
permitted TO fly the American flag, Con-
gress shall also pass law permitting the
importation without tariff duty of ma
terials used in the building of ships in
American yards.
This demand has frequently been be-
fore both branches of Congress The
cost of manufacturing ships in the
United States is much higher than IN
foreign shipyards, and it is claimed con-
ditions would be somewhat equalized if
the cheaper foreign materials could be
imported without the payment of tariff.
Demand for Full Hearing.
In the kilograms received by House
and Senate members from the Newport
News Chamber of Commerce, it was
stated that civic bodies in all parts of the
country had been asked to join in de-
manding a full hearing on the free ship
legislation before action is finally taken
by Congress.

Needs Two-Thirds Vote.

A two-thirds vote will be necessary for
the adoption of Chairman Henry's mo-
ton. and active supporters of the Jones'
Works bill declare they have assurances
from enough representatives in Congress
to make the passage of the motion GER
tain. The adoption of Chairman Henry $
motion would accurately forecast favor
able action by the House on the Jackson
motion to take the bill from the commit
tee.
Representative Jacksons motion was
brought about through the activity. of the
District of Columbia Christian Endeavor
Union, whose officials have been untIr-
ing in their efforts to secure action on
the bill A delegation of Christian En-
deavor Union officers spent much OF yes

Lukewarm supporters of the Jones'
Works bill. and those who are actively
aligned against the legislation pointed
out last night that many obstacles
still stand in the way of bringing the
bill directly before the House. The
motion to suspend the rules SO as to
permit immediate consideration of the
bill, as already stated, will require a
two thirds vote of the House, and this
| opponents of the measure declare, can
not be secured.
To Address Congregations.
Officers of the Christian Endeayor
Union will address the congregations
of many of the city churches today in
support of the Jones Works bill. In
addition to these addresses from the

with members of the House in the ef-
fort to secure additional support foi

Chairman Henry, according to Offi-

has strongly intimated that he will
make an effort to make every day OF
the coming week a suspension day,

Gen. Browns Record.

Robert Burns Brown was born at New
Concord, Ohio. October =. 1874. He was
educated in the public schools of New
Concord. and while yet a young man en-
tered the United States Army and fought
throughout the civil war, gaining an

Mr.. Knox's Trip to Japan Will
Set a Precedent.
PROVES NATIONS FRIENDLY
First Secretary Of State to Go on
Such Mission.
STAFF WILL BE OF HIGH RANK
Important Conferences Expected to
Be Held After Funeral of
the Emperor.

President Taft's decision to send Secre-
sador, with staff of high rank, to Japan
to attend the funeral September II of the
late Emperor Mutsuhito, may be regared
as a signal mark. not only of the high per-
sonal regard that President Taft felt for the
illustrious ruler based on his intimate
of the earnest desire of the American
government to convince the world at
large of the sincere friendship that ex-
lists between the land of the Risin Sun
and the great republic of the west.
1t is felt in administration circles that
in no more convincing manner than this
could the Washington government demon
strate the little credence it attached to the
various sinister rumors that have been
circulated from time to time regarding
Japanes designs on American territory.
That this gracious mission is sure to be
appreciated at it's full value is the decla-
ration of Viscount Chinda. the Japanese
ambassador to Washington.
When he learned of the mission he as
serted that it would be taken by the
Japanese people and government as an
act of the greatest courtesy and one cal
culated to make even warmer and more
tween the two governments. He had no
doubt that Secretary Knox and his staff
would be received in Japan with the high
est hOnOrS and be placed upon the status
of guests Of the imperial government and
received in the government house.
