 Lamar testified he used the name of Representative Daniel J. Riordan of New York telephoning to Chairman Lovett of the Union Pacific
 On another occasion, Lamar testi- fled, he called up Paul D. Cravath of counsel for the Union Pacific, sug- gesting Lauterbach would be a valu. able adviser.
 On another occasion he talked over the telephone to Lewis Cass Ledyard, using Representative Palmer's name and with Maxwell Evarts, using Rep, resentative Riordan's name In both conversations he spoke about Lauter. bach's services.
 Senator Nelson insisted that Lamar testify explicitly whether he stated in those conversations that Lauterbach had influence in Washington with of ficials, senators or representatives.
 "I am inclined to believe that in my conversation with MT. Ledyard I went very far in that direction on the af- tirmative side" returned Lamar.
 Why did you change to Palmer's name, instead of sticking to Rior- 'dans?" demanded Senator Nelson.
 Well, MT. Palmer was very much in the public eye then, as one who would have great influence at Wash tngton with the incoming Democratic administration" replied Lamar. He added he did not know Palmer and had no authority to use his name.
 Lamar said the late J. P. Morgans opposition to Lauterbach caused him to telephone Ledyard, using the name of Representative Palmer, to try to win his confidence and find out who had ostracized Lauterbach.
 T found out it was Ledyard him. self,' said Lamar. He added he knew Ledyard had stenographer on the line making record of the talk.
 T read everything into it could, ? said Lamar. q think offered him the entire government. I may have left the president out."2
 Lamar set the committee into laughter with his story of how he impersonated Palmer; lectured Led yard because he did not go to church, and told what remarkable things Lau. terbach could do at Washington for the Morgan firm.
 "1 told him that the defiant attitude of the Morgan firm toward the Demo. cratic administration in congress had much to do with the decline in the value of Morgan securities" contin- ued Lamar. T called attention to the money trust and other investigations and urged Mir. Ledyard to employ Lar,, terbach.7
 Wanted to Do No injury.
 You We're trying to convince Led yard that Lauterbach was a sort dA John the Baptist for the Morgan firm?" suggested Senator Nelson. That's it exactly" returned Lamar
 "Then I called up MT. Palmer's of fee in Washington" said Lamar with smile, 'and found he would be iR Bethlehem, Pa, the next Sunday. Then I called Mir. Ledyard and told him to call Palmer there. I had done all l wanted to-gotten an interview for Lauterbach with Ledyard-and didn't want MT. Palmer injured. wanted to clear the atmosphere and prevent a possible scandal for Pal mer"
 The deception was revealed to Pal mer and Ledyard that Sunday.
 Senator Overman insisted on know ing if Lamar ever impersonated any other congressman.

been the small number of deaths. Only five here have been reported to date, and it is pointed out that this is far below the average. With more than 50,000 men in camp, each more than 6S years of age, the death rate, according to the law of average, should be much higher. However, the surgeons in charge fear that as the camp draws to close the figures will be increased.
 It is because of this that orders have been issued that the saloons in Gettysburg be closed at 10:30 nightly. It was feared that the spirit of con vitality and comradeship would cause some of the old soldiers to in- dulge too freely and thus injure their health. The commissioners asked Gov Tener to have the drinking places closed while the camp was on. He declared that he did not have the power to do this, and then the mayor of Gettysburg, appealed to, agreed to order the doors locked at 10:30.
 Gov. Cox Is Popular.
 Gov. James Cox of Ohio made pro- nounced hit here When he found that many of the Buckeye veterans could not be cared for as originally planned, he hunted up a farmer, who leased field on which he grows oats near the reservation. Cox dangled $25 in front of the farmers eyes and got the ground for that sum for three days. Then, in his shirt sleeves, with his hat on the side of his head, Cox super vised the erection of tents and in an hour had a camp ready for his 200 mon

SENATOR CLARkE'S TRIBUTE

Jbpon learning of the death of his colleague, United, Senator Jeff DAVIS, and m presenting resolution for ad- journment and the appointmenlt Of joint committee from the Senate and House to attend the funeral, Senator James P. Clarke paid the following tribute to the Arkansas statesman: "Mr. President it becomes by melon- choly duty to announce to hae Senate the death of my colleague, Senator Jeff Davis, who departed this life at Little Rock on yesterday. With khls S 'mple statement there is announced the close of the career of one of the most extraordinary men of his tlme and section. This is not the appro- priate time to analyze his purposes and his plans with view of deter mining the pin losophy that controlled yais life, public and private, but an other time will be chosen for that purpose, when l shall ask the Sen ate to lay aside its usual business to give attention to that feature of his career.
 He was extraord' nary in the sense that he inspired friendships that knew no deviation and no surrender and provoked criticisms that abso- lutely went beyond the bounds Of all possible reason. To ascertain the purposes that ran through his life will be the interesting study of those of us who had some opportunity to observe his course and to know ms motives. As I said, l shall not pro gceea further along thal: line at thas t me, as l hope to be able herea1tel to join with his other friends here In Naying proper tribute to his life ana his memory

the Sixth District in years gone by. Why should Governor Robinson re- main at Little Rock? Are there not many men in this state who could take up the duties of governor and carry out the policies of MT. Robin son, which have been approved by the people of this state? But there is possibly no man in the state at this time who could go to Washington and accomplish what might be expected of Mir. Robinson. He is already na- tional figure and his influence at Washington, even in the over house, has been, felt there time and time again. He would be foolish to throw away the opportunity of his lifetime. He can and will get the senatOrship with ease, without engaging in a scramble in later years and incur ring heavy expense in a campaign.
 Joe T. Robinson is self made man "a FOOT man. He spent what little money he had in the recent campaign for governor; more than he should have been made to spend because of 8 wealthy and determined opponent. If he should hold the office of governor for four years he would "have to wait two years longer to make the race for the senatorship, for it is not likely that he would oppose his staunch friend, Senator Clarke two years hence. And then Senator Clarke is not an easy man to- beat, should he decide to attempt it, but this is not even likely
 MT. Robinson owes something to his constituency, that is true. But we ought to be liberal enough to join in the success of this brilliant young man. Mir. Robinson is not going to overlook the greatest opportunity in his lifetime. He will make the race for United States senator and he will be chosen by the Legislature without any trouble on his part.
 With Clarke and Robinson in the senate Arkansas would loom up among the states like comet ill the heavens. The intellectual giants would be pair that would command respect for Arkansas and add dignity to the proceedings in the senatorial chamber.

INE BLUFF ROCRESS
 PROSPERITY
ROBINSON OUR NEXT SENATOR.

GovernOr-elect RObinson's most in innate friends have been informed Of his intention to permit his name to be used before the legislature is select ing a new United States senator to succeed Senator Jeff Davis. Governor Robinson will be elected without the least trouble, as a majority of the senators and representatives have al ready expressed themselves as being in favor of filling the Davis vacancy with this brilliant young statesman.
 There are few people who do not think that Governor Robinson should surf cnder the governors office and take the senatorship, but the large majority of his friends over the state are urging him to go to Washington, realizing that while it will be great sacrifice to the state at this time, it Will have a tendency to give Arkan- sas great prestige in Washington to haAe, two such men as James P. Clarke and Joe T. Robinson ill the up per house of Congress as it's repre- scrtati9es.
 To go in as governor and permit another to go to Washington, Cover .or-elect Robinson would be making a great personal sacrifice. His ann bition has been to reach the United States senate He gave up a prince- ly job as congressman to accept the governorship at much smaller sal ary. His only object was to get i'll line for the senatorship, which leads from the governors office in Arkan- sas, a custom in this state tor many years.
 Governor elect Robinson is pecul- iarly fitted for service in the Senate He has had some years experience in the lower house at Washington and heing familiar with the issues that are being considered there, he is thoroughly capable to get the best re- suits for the people of this state, as was evidenced by his great work fol

Father Ignatius, the Fassionist Priest whose sermons at the Catho- lie church last November arc 50 favOraIbly remembered, pre- eached last Sunday morning and night to large audiences at St. Joseph's church. The subjects of the sermons dealt with the z@l which Catholics should Gave m heart and mind for the ad- vancement of the christian religion and the sacrifices they should be ready to make for the cause. Their opportunity now to build a new church in Pine Bluff that would be credit to themselves and to inc business advancement of the city, should appeal very strongly to them and arouse ther pride of life.
 Monsignor Lucey had annourced some time ago that if $S,000 in cash subscriptions were made Wp, the new church, would be built this year. About $4,G0O was subscribed last Sun day. Mrs. Mary Derriseaux gave $1,O0O and Mrs. Mary Portis gave $5o0 These ladies were unable to attend the services owing to Illness in the family. There were several sub scriptions' of $500. The building committee held meeting last night and will work hhrd this week to make up the balance needed and probably the announcement can be made next Sunday whether or no the word forward will be given.
 The bu lding committee plan to build "a church which, when ordinarily confsleted, will be $o0,0Oo c,urch. It is proposed to omit such portions of the building as may be well com pleted in the future and to expend at present about $35 ,000. Of this amount something over $20,o0o will be in cash and the: remaining $15,09O will be raised by bond issue.

Hal Norwood is trying to defeat Governor-elect Joe T. Robinson for the United States senatorship. He must know that any such effort on his part cannot be successful. It is stated that after failing to secure the Senatorship MT. Norwood will become
 a candidate for governor. It is not very likely that he will secure either job. Whats the use of his entering any contest. All he will do is to withdraw when he sees defeat conn., ing, like he did in the last state pri- mary. MT. Norwood has bosn honor ed by the Democracy of Arkansas.

Especially before such shrines and
in such temples as it was customary
for the ancients to make annual pill

the thousands and thousands Of pill
grims had come from various prov

of living, and that the burning Of the
incense was in reality. a precaution
quite necessary for the preservation
Of the health of the crowds.
Doubtless a form of incense was
burned in China and in what is now
India many centuries before Christ.
probably even before the time Of
Moses and Aaron. 1t may be that the
wise men of those ancient ways had
ence that there was less illness when
quantities of incense was burned than
when none was used. Whether they
believed this was because of some d.

the incense is not known.

IS. And Moses said unto Aaron.
Take a censor and put fire therein
from the altar. and put on incense.
and go quickly unto the congregation.
and make an atonement for them; for
there is wrath gone out from the
Lord; the plague is begun.
