Think WILSON
WILL DOMINATE
THE SITUATION
All Eyes on Outcome Of the
Democrat Caucus Being
Held in Washington To-
night j
IBY E. H. HANSON.1

Washington, D. c., March s. The
two democratic caucuses on WedneS-
day night will be history making at.
fairs. etN
Already 1t is certain that the pro
gressive democrats will control the
senate. Whatever may be the outcome
in the house on Wednesday night,
however, it is believed that the real
test there will not come until after
congress convenes April l for the spe-
cial session. The close friends of
President Wilson feel certain that he
will dominate the situation and that
he will compel progressive program
in the lower body.
The elimination of Senator Martin
as democratic caucus chairman and
the elevation Of Senator Kern OF
Indiana to that position after but two
years service in the upper body, and
without a fight, Is a clear sign Of the
new regime. 1t means simply that Mr..
Wilson enters his administration with
the upper house in his favor and with
all the more assurance of having his
program carried out, for in the last
analysis, the senate very nearly runs
things in legislative matters.
Underwood Has Charge.
( 1T is expected that the ways and
means committee of the house will
remain unchanged, as far as the men,
bers who are now on 1t are con-
cerned with the exception Of those
who retire. Their places will be filled
and In view of the great decrease In
the republican membership few
more democrats may be put on 1t. Mr..
Underwood will head 1t again and Mr..
Harrison of New York will be the
ranking member. Mr.. Underwood's g
leadership is a proven thing now and
as he is thoroughly in accord with the
president, Mr.. Wilson Is sure to have
O good spokesman in the house.
The new house caucus chairman
will undoubtedly be Representative
Palmer of Pennsylvania, who was
rendered cabinet portfolio, but who
declined it because. he preferred to
stay in congress. Representative
Burleson, now in the cabinet, retires
as caucus chairman.
Pepper May Not Change.
! AS the ways and means committee
will make recommendation for the
various committee assignments, iowa
will naturally be interested In what
falls to the lot of her three demo.
cratic representatives Mr.. Pepper has
been doomed for chairmanship, but
he will not feel very badly IL he does
not land it for the reason that it
might compel him to give up his place
on military affairs. He is now men,

military affairs. The latter is one of
the most important in the house. Be-

Sixty-six of the crew Of the German

when the little vessel was rammed by
the cruiser Yorck in the North Sea
last night. Among the dead are the
commander of the torpedo boat, Lieut..

The surgeon and engineer and fif-

The destroyer attempted to pass

CORPORATIONS
T0bE SUBJECT
To SAME LAWS
Hearing Held in Senate on
Arney Bill Favored by
Clifford Thorne and 9th
er Prominent IOWans.
IBY ORA WILLIAMS.l ]

Des Moines. March 5.-An interest
ing hearing on very important bill
was given yesterday by the senate
judiciary committee. This Is the Arney
1 bill, S.. r.. a19, which might properly be
called bill for the forcible domestica-
ton Of all foreign corporations en-
gagged in the public service in Iowa,
such as furnishing gas, water or
electricity.
The bill requires that all such
foreign corporations must comply with
the provisions OF the Peterson law be-
fore they can have legal standing IN
Iowa. Its effect would be to put the
domestic corporation and the foreign
corporation on an equality before Iowa
law in the matter of being compelled
to show that the stock represents
actual investment and the making Of
reports and being subject to the action
of the courts and having the BOOKS
open, etc.
Clifford Thorne, Col. w. G. Dows,
George Cosson, John Read of Cedar
Rapids, and William Chamberlain, city
attorney of Cedar Rapids, appeared be-
fore the committee and all favored the
bill, and urged that 1t be adopted.
They argued that it is but fair to the
domestic corporation Snu nome IN
vestor that the foreigner be required
to make the same sort of showing
that all others do.
Joe r. Lane Of Davenport, alone, ap-
peared and opposed the bill on the
ground that it was an injustice to the
foreign corporation to require any such
provisions and it's effect would be to
make it more difficult to secure the
investment of outside capital in Iowa
enterprises.
The Craig Bill Ready for Action.
The Craig bill, to make it easier to
secure county uniformity of school text
books, is on the house calendar for ac-
ton and likely to come up any time.
There is minority report favoring
state uniformity, which does not affect
the county uniformity idea.
This bill has developed that there is
a good hard fight on in Iowa as be-
tween the big book companies and
the little ones, that the former want
things continued as at present, while
the latter want the county uniformity
plan adopted every where. The rea-
son is that where the text book adop-
ton is by township authorities the big
company is better able to protect it.
self and get the business than is the
little one while in all cases where
county uniformity is adopted it must

Nearly 1000 flour thOusand) people
present.
Features were-Male chorus Of two
hundred fifty voices; college orchestra
Glee Club, Quartette, Piano, Vocal and
Trombone Solos and the Demonstration
in Voice Culture.
The program consisted Of new selee
tions excepting the melodies and
Swanee River. All were committed in
two weeks time.
The Colored composers represented
were R. Nathaniel Dett, (Magnolis
Suite for Piano.; Will Marion Cook,
RosamOnd johnson, Harry Burleigh
and Clarence Cameron White in vOcal
compositions.
The whole program aimed to show
what Colored youth could do in even
a short time of preparation.
The Festival was a courageous en-
terprising effort on the part of Presi-
dent John Hope of Atlanta Baptist
College. His faith in the citizens of
Atlanta well placed, as the immense
audience attested.
Congratulations are due both Presi-
dent Hope, the Atlanta Baptist Col
lege and the progressive Colored citi-
zens of Atlanta.
Since Madame Haekley had con
tributed her services for the two
weeks preparation and for the Festi
val, there was no effort made to real
financial gain. Popular prices of 25C
and soc were charged.
1t was a most remarkable audience
in several ways. The late corners
waited most patiently in the vestibule
and inside the door, between numbers,
until the ushers seated them, and made
every effort not to disturb, some even
"tiptoeing" to their seats. Although
nearly one thousand public school chill
dren and orphans were the guests of
the College, one could have heard a pin
drop not only during a rendition but
while Madame Haekley gave the Dem
onstration and put the chorus through
the vocal exercise.
Madame Hackley was ably assisted
by Mr.. Kemper Harreld, director of
music of the Atlantic Baptist College.
The boys presented Madame Hack
ley with a beautiful sterling silver
chain and engraved coin purse, and a
large bouquet of pink carnations, and
gave her a "college yell".
The affair marks an era-not only
in the musical affairs of the Atlanta
population but in the musical history
of the raee.-''D."

EASTER SABBATH AT THE NsTI.

Notwithstanding the terrific down
pour of rain and the manifest fury OF
the elements, two magnificent audi
enees assembled at the Institutional
Church Easter Sabbath.
The new vested choir entered with
the PROFESSIONS" and departed with
.'Recessional, and the music which
they rendered was not only appropriate
and beautiful, but perfect in its exeeu-
tion.
Bishop B. F. Lee preached upon
"The Power Of the Resurrection, " and
delivered a sermon advanced in
thought, powerful in delivery, pro-
found in its philosophy and that stirred
and inspired his whole audience.
DR.. George Burnam Foster, professor
of the Philosophy of Religion at the
University of Chicago, spoke to a
splendid audience Sunday evening on
'cPrejudiees. To say that this sub
ject was treated by this learned scholar
to the delight and edifeation Of all is
putting it but mildly.
Next Sabbath evening Mrs. E. H.
Ryder, of the Chicago D. N. A, will
deliver a special address to mothers
and wives, and to husbands and IA
theirs.
The City Federation of Women s
Clubs and the Kings Daughters Cir
eles have been invited as guests Of
honor on this occasion.
A cordial invitation is extended to
the general public for all the services.
Polite ushers, delightful music, con-
genial members, orthodox preaching and
homelike church await all who wor-
ship with us.-'O."
