MAY VISIT ST. LOUIS
SATURDAY NIGHT
President Wilson Expected to Take
Bryan's Place on the Peace
Congress Program.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. I
ST. LOUIS, April 30-There is a
strong possibility that President Will
son will attend the fourth annual
peace congress for an address Satur-
day night at the Odeon, instead of
Secretary of State Bryan, who is de-
tanned in California, according to a
statement today of James e. Smith,
chairman of the executive committee
of the peace congress.
A telegram announcing that he
could not possibly reach st. Louis in
time for his scheduled address Sat
urday was received from Secretary
Bryan Tuesday night by Mr. Smith,
who wired the president telling him
of Mr. Bryan's inability to come and
strongly urged the president of the
importance of having the government
represented by him.
Chairman Smith placed private
car at the disposal of the president,
which can leave Washington late Fri.
day afternoon and arrive in st. Louis
early Saturday evening in time for
the president to deliver an address
and return to Washington Sunday,
thereby being absent from the capital
only one day.
Mr. Bryan had anticipated being in
st. Louis to set forth his world peace
plans, in which he is greatly interest
ed. 1t is known that President Will
son is interested deeply in Mr.. Bry-
ans plans, and has approved them.

May Day Riotins.

PARIS, April 30.-Fearing May day
rioting and labor and socialist disturb
ances such as are witnessed in more
or less violent form at the correspond
ing period every year, the authorities
today completed arrangements to have
10000 troops and police ready to be
called out for action at moments
notice tomorrow.
Every May Paris presents the ap-
pearance of a city under siege, all

day The socialists and revolutionists
endeavor to parade the streets and
hold fiery demonstrations in the pub
lie squares. though forbidden to do
so by the police authorities. Anar-
chists in great numbers, with their
red flags in the front, march en- masse
or at least try to do so, to Pere Lech-
aise and other cemeteries where COM
rades lie buried, and there attempt
matchmaking and other demonstra-
tions to which the authorities OBJECT.
Socialist demonstrations against the
proposed three-year army service sys-
fem are expected, and the military
this afternoon was established in all
public places and in the main streets
to prevent anti-military speeches and
other similar disturbances
At the last moment it looked like
the preparations of the police were
unnecessary, because the laborites
were so split up among themselves
that the usual May-day celebration is
likely to be fiasco. The men are
almost equally divided, one faction
favoring demonstration and the 9th
err equally strong, opposing it the
leaders admitted there was little like.

Valdez daily prospector., 1913-12-02
Gladstone and Wet Sponqes.

It was not without just cause that MT. Gladstonc's name was given to the handy "Gladstone bag" The grand old man was master of every detail of the art of packing. At a country house they were discussing at breakfast the right way to pack a sponge bag when the sponge had been used and was consequently wa tcrlogged. Mfr. Gladstone, who ap., parently had been wholly absorbed in his mornings correspondence, suddenly closed the discussion by informing the party that they were all wrong. ''The only proper meth od," said he, ''is to wrap it in your bath towel and stamp upon it. Then put it in your sponge bag. You will find it perfectly dry"
Valdez daily prospector., 1913-12-02
CORRECTION.

The Prospector of last evening men, toned the attendance of the Odd Eel lows at the Thanksgiving service held at the Congregational church Sun- day, Nov. 30th.
 In the a, ticle referred to the state ment was made that they (the Odd Fellows) met at their lodge rooms and paraded to the church in a body in accordance with the rules of their society, which requires every mem Der to attend the services"
 Such statement is an error: an CT TOT apt to create false impressions re- garding the order in the minds of persons not members thereof.
 As matter of fact there is no tenet of the order which even i'm plies that members should or must attend divine services. much less a rule of Valdez Lodge No. 6, or any other lodge, compelling members to attend such services.
 The l. 0. 0. F. is purely frater nal non-sectarian organization. It is true that :. candidate for initiation into the order must avow a belief in God. It is equally true that he need not avow allegiance to any ex- isting sect or creed.
 He may be Jew, Gentle, Catholic or Protesant in his religious affilia- tions, or neither of them, and yet be- come and be good Odd Fellow pro- vided he live up to the teachings and requirements of the order.
 Many members of Valdez Lodge No. 6. having religious predilect'ons. if not actual church affiliations, elect ed, in conformity with established customs of our country, to attend di- vine service on the special day set apart for such thanksgiving purpose. They elected to do so as a body, but by no means as lodge unit. None were required or expected to attend who did not voluntarily choose to do so And, that a goodly number of our members did not avail themselves of the privilege, is, perhaps, their loss. Nevertheless, it is matter which alone concerns themselves, and for which the lodge has neither the right or disposition to call them to account. w. THOMAS, N. G.
