Yearly Meeting Notes.

The large Christian Endeavof tent,
known as Tent Endeavor, has been
located on the campus directly on the
walk from the auditorium to the street
and has been veritable beehive OF
activity throughout the meeting. The
registration book has been kept there,
letters mailed and received, post
cards. books, meeting house pictures
and various supplies dispensed from
that point, and several people have
been kept busy throughout the week
caring for the business. The place
has been in charge of Harold Lane.
Everyone that attended any session
of the Yearly Meeting was asked to
register in book at Tent Endeayor
for that purpose and nearly six hun
bred people registered in the book as
being in attendance. The space pro-
vided for the names also called for
the persons home address, Oskaloosa
address, church and the first Yearly
Meeting they ever attended.

FINALLY AMENDED.

Washington, Feb. 26.-After four
days of debate, accompanied at times
by scenes of disorder seldom wit
messed at the capitol, the house passed
tonight the naval appropriation bill
carrying approximately $138.000,000,
and authorizing the construction of
one battleship six torpedo boat de-
stroyers and four submarines. An
amendment to provide for one battle
by the committee was carried by a
vote of ia to 1876.
An amendment offered by Repre-
sentative Calder Of New York and
adopted, requires that the battleship
shall be constructed in a government
navy yard.
AS reported by the committee. the
bill carried appropriations aggregating
$146, 100000 and provided for two bat
tleships, a transport and supply
ship. Points of order by Represen-
tative Sisson in the committee of the
whole, struck out the transport and
supply ship appropriation, Represen
tative Alexander of Missouri, the
chairman, holding there Is no author
ity for the appropriation because nc

Throughout the consideration of the
bill there was heated exchanges be-

THEY'RE NOT DOING ANY GRAFT.
ING NOW, NEW Works.
MAYOR DECLARES.
CHANGES ARE PROPOSED
Former Mayors Mcclellan and Seth
Low Also Toll What They Think Of
the Department-McCIeII Ayers
tho Officers Arc the Worst of ANY
in tho World.

New York, Feb. 26-Three commit
tees, one appointed by the state legis-
lature one by the board of aldermen
and one by citizens, joined today in an
effort to reform the New York police
force. The result of their labors prob
ably will be legislative bills providing
for sweeping changes.
Mayor Gaynor was the principal
witness before the legislative commit
tee, while two of his predecessors,
former Mayors Mcclellan and Low,
gave their views to the committee of
aldermen. At the same time the citi-
Sens' committee, appointed immedi-
ately after the murder of the gambler,
Herman Rosenthal, laid before the
legislative committee detailed recon-
mendations. The most radical reform
suggested was the appointment of a
new commission to be called "the
board of social welfare" which should
take from the present police force the
duty Of regulating gambling, social
vice and the liquor traffic. This plan
was presented by the citizens COM
mittee.
Sunday Liquor Selling.
Former Mayor Mcclellan united
with the citizens committee in the be-
lief that it is impossible to suppress
the Sunday sale of liquor in New York
and that the present law invites the
1evying of police tribute on saloon
keepers. 1t was recommended both by
the mayor and the committee that in
New York city Sunday liquor selling
ha pnrr0itto6 within ri a1 hp1lrS
Mayor Gaynor declared that among
the 10000 New York policemen not
more than so are grafters. His prede-
cessor, Mayor Mcclellan, said that
while the rank and file of the force
were the finest in the world, their Of
flcers were the worst.
Mayor Gaynor suggested an infusion
OF new blood into the force by per-
mitting the appointment of inspectors
from outside. BY this he hoped to
bring into the force army officers and
other trained men not under the DOM
ination of the System"
In explaining his views, the mayor
said:
Before I came into office, the beads
OF the police department went out of
office, one after another, millionaires.
Some of them now have their city
houses, their automobiles, their
yachts. I want to know who is going
out now a rich man?
why, when I became mayor, the
police were getting about $3,000,000 a
year in graft from saloon keepers.
There isn't a penny of it paid today,
except, perhaps, here and there by
some scamp or scoundrel. The police
of New York have other things to do
than to see if a man takes a glass of
beer on Sunday.
'I hope there will be no delusion at
Albany. l do not believe the police of
New York city are falling in their
duty or are corrupt; it is not so. And
don't get the notion that the neWspa-
pers aren't in this graft; they've been
in It up to their arm pits for 25 years.
