BISHOP SPEAKS AT
LIFE CONFERENCE

Madison, Wis, Jan. 31.-The institu-
tional church, if it leads away from
spiritual functions, found critic in
Bishop WV. Webb, Milwaukee. of The
Episcopal deno rnination, 1, before the
wisconsin Country Life conference
here today. His subject was The So
Ecia1 Response of the Rural Parish. He
declared. that philanthropy and social
service "do not and cannot take the
place of religion *~v,s .sS
II would be the last to advocate the
rural church giving itself up to mere
social betterment," he said. "The city
church that has been given over to
tnstitutionalism has usually found
out that it was mistake; in some
directions there is a. strong reaction,
a feeling that it has been overdone.
The church is first and foremost a
house of God. a place where religious
prayer is offered to God and His
truth is, taught to man. 1t is only
under proper social conditions that
the. best spiritual work can be done,
and SO a social responsibility rests on
the rural as on the city parish" !.
p w. H. Bridgnan gave an analysis Of
~A'S oboAhS5o VA q CITY SoLdHISSp
Wis.) He said the most important
factors in the relations of the Z city
people. with those of the surrounding.
country are the schools and churches.
Andrew w. Hopkins of the agricul- :.
tural college, spoke on Advertising for
the. Farmer. TO succeed in farming,
he said, means not only economically
to produce the largest. possible amount
Of the various crops and produce, but
to sell them to the best advantage
and use theF money in improving the
farm, in providing the family with
the comforts and conveniences of life,
ands, generally in bettering his fellow
men.
The conference will close tonight
with an address by. Mrs. L.. K. ,Math-]

SAY HE PROMISED
HER HALF-NILLION

Bem1dJi, Mimi, Jan. SIT first met
Mr.. Mcdonald while horseback riding
at Hot Springs, Ark, in March, 1908, "
said Mrs. Amber Mcmillan, defendant
in the action brought by the Minneap-
oils man for the abrogation of an al
legged marriage contract, when testi-
flying Thursday afternoon. Continu-
ing, she said, in substances: He at
once became very attentive to me and
on the second day Of our acaaintance
told me he was divorced and asked me
to mary him. He assured me he was
worth 100000 and that as soon as
we We're married he would give me
$500, 600"
The first witness called by the de-
Tense was Mrs. Katherine Mcdonald,
former wife Of the plaintiff, who Sc
cured divorce in March, 1912. She
now resides at Cberlin, O., where her
daughters are students. a -
Mr. McDonald's counsel objected to
testimony by her as to matters occur
ring before the divorce. thus making
her evidence very brief. oa.
Over the objection of the defend
ants counsel the plaintiff was permit
ted to show that in 1901 the defend
ant brought suit against an elderly
and wealthy married man for $4,000
damages for breach of promise and
that the action was settled for $500.
Clashes between the attorneys have
been frequent, usually as to the com.
potency Of the evidence, and much of
that offered by the plaintiff was ex-
cluded by the court. Much Of the tes-
timony of Chauncey Sumner, willing
witness for the plaintiff, from Geneva,
KAN, was suppressed.

F.! BROKEN RAILS The CAUSE

Joliet, Ill.,, Jan. 31.--A special train
bearing fifteen people, injured in an
early morning wreck near here on the
Chicago & Alton, of a fast st. Louis
train, narrowly escaped another wreck
when two cars of fast fruit train
were derailed mile south Of the scene
Of the passenger wreck, a short time
after the special passed. Reports state
that attempts were made to wreck
both trains.
The special train bearing the injur-
ed is being run to ST. Louis. 1t is not
believed any will die.
The wreck Of the st. Louis train
was caused by a broken rail, over
which the Chicago express for Kan
sas City passed less than half an hour
before. The lives of the passengers in
an overturned sleeper were saved be-
cause it was a steel car. Traffic was
tied up several hours.

CHARGING
REBATLNG

Chicago, III. Jan. 31.-Indictmenta
charging rebating were returned by
the federal grand jury against Swift
& Co, the Pennsylvania railroad, the
Panhandle lines and the Chicago &c
Northwestern Railroad Co. Two bills
were found against the Panhandle.
The indictments against Pennsylva4
MIA lines and the Panhandle concerH
alleged that rebates were given to Va
Fl. Merritt Grain Co. of Chicago. The
charges are that the Pennsylvania lines
east of Pittsburgh, which include the
Panhandle system, rebated to the Mer4
ritt firm by allowing switching charg4
es which had been outlawed, some of
which were ten years old.
p. F.. Marsh, special agent for the
commerce commission. testified to the
grand jury that switching claims call+
ing for refunds OF 90 per car attach4
ed to freight bills, were allowed with4
out question by the railroad auditors
although the grain company had not
legal right to collect them.
Swift & Co. face a possible fine OF
$1,200,000. The bill charges sixty all
legged violations of the interstate COM
merce laws. The Panhandle and
Pennsylvania are named in one joint
indictment and q separate Indictment
In addition was returned against the
Panhandle.
Swift e. Co. are liable for fines Oh
$4,000 each on sixty counts. 1t ia
charged that the packing company
obtained concessions from the pubs
lished car rates Of the Chicago &a
Northwestern railroad and also the
Ann Arbor Railroad Co. on various
shipments from Chicago. Carload
rates on. less than carload shipments
are alleged.

Sufficiently strong to constitute one
system inter communicating inter-
dependent and UNIVERSAL himself
pointed out that the most efficient
telephone service can be attained only
under condition of monopoly.
The report then points out that
private monopoly has no incentive to
extend it's facilities to Improbable
territory, while the government would
serve all the people by an equaliza-
tion of rates. Also that the money
taken by the private monopoly in big
profits would be turned back to the
people through the medium of a truly
universal service at reduced rates.
The declaration is made that it is
obvious that the longer the govern
ment waits for the acquisition of these
facilities, the greater will be the cost.
1t states the economic waste will per-
init private enterprise to build up vast
properties that eventually must ae
taken over by the government at a
cost out Of all proportion to the value
of the parts of such properties that
may be utilized to advantage in the
postals system.

QUICK CAMPAIGN
ON CHOLERA ASKED

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Pom
creme Of Ohio, with other members of
the upper branch, have started a cam
paign for a liberal appropriation dur
ing the present session to enable the
federal authorities to aid the states
to check hog cholera. which has be-
come such a serious menace to the
farmers in Minnesota and other states.
The Ohio senator in a speech called
the attention of mis- colleagues to the
extent Of the ravages of this disease.
He submitted . a statement showing
that there were 65,400,000 hogs in the
United States in 1912, and that reports
Of the department of agriculture
showed that the number of swine
dropped to 61,17S,000 in 1913, a loss of
over 100000.
Loss Laid to Hog Cholera.
This loss has been largely attrib-
uted to the general prevalence Of hog
cholera throughout the hog producing
regions of the country" said Senator
Pomerene. During December a report
was made to the United States Live
stock Sanitary association at Chicago
by a committee that had heretofore
been appointed to investigate this
subject. ...a
According to the results which they
obtained by correspondence with the
authorities of the several states, they
estimated the total loss during the
year to the farmers Of this country
as amounting to $55,000,000. In Iowa
the loss was estimated at $15,696, 900;
in Illinois. $4,530,800; in Missouri.
1922, 200; in Minnesota, $1,0S0,750;
in Nebraska. $4.00o.o00; in Indiana,
$3.634S00; in Georgia, $4,000; in
Kansas, $5,4So,s0O; in Ohio, $3,67o.9o0;

Kentucky, $2,326,00O; in Florida, $51S,-
900; in California, s376,300, and in
South Carolina. s478,650. In other
states there were large losses, but
they were not so extensive"
immediate Appropriation Asked.
Senator Pomerene urged that the ap-
preparation for government co1opera-
tion should be made now. instead OF
waiting until the passage of the regu-
lar appropriation bill
TT is a recognized fact, that cold
weather checks this disease" he said,
"and SIS expended now would result
in more benefit than SIS expended
when the hot weather, sets in. It is
going to take the agricultural depart
ment a considerable time to. prepare
for this campaign, and the earlier this
appropriation is made the more ef-
fective will be their Efforts
Senator Pomerene's bill provides for
an appropriation of $500.O00. but ne
stated in his speech that he believed
$1,000,000 could be used to great ad-
vantage in the cooperative work. Dur
ing his speech several senator's from
the hog raising states interposed with
questions and remarks. indorsing the
Ohio senator's plea for quick action.
Senators Pomerene, Kenyon and 9TH
ers will follow up the showing made
by the Ohio senator with personal ap-
peals to members of the committee on
agriculture to consider the measure
and report it to the senate shortly.

FREE ENTRYOF' :.
WHEAT OPPOSED

Ottawa, Ont, Jan. 31.--The govern
n1ent has decided to oppose tariff revi-
sion, to permit the free entry Of wheat
into the United States, and by ma
jority of forty-five defeated the free
wheat amendment to the address in
reply to the speech from the throne
last night in the house of commons.
Many concede the suggested change
{ would materially benefit Alberta, Sas-
katchewan and other western prov
lnces, but are in doubt as to whether
ii would benefit all Canada. One mem
her characterized the suggestion as
reciprocity; in installments." Levi
Thompson said the farmers OF the
west were greatly disappointed that
| the government had not acted iinn1edi-
ately upon the passage of the Under
wood tariff at Washington, so as to
get the American market free. For
last years wheat crop he gave figures
TO show that the periods when wheat
was higher at Fort William than in
Minneapolis, were periods when the
western Canadian farmers had no wheat
to sell having already sold out to the
dealers.
Occasionally the price of wheat was
10 to IL cents a bushel cheaper on the
American side than on the Canadian
side. AT such times, the Canadian mill
the Canadian farmer, but the dealer,
and that was quite another matter
Robert. Rogers said he was surprised
that Sir. Wilfrid Laurier, should have
consented to the introduction of such
an amendment Frank Oliver proceed
ed to criticize the government for not
calling parliament.
Failure of the lower branch Of the
Canadian parliament to act on the
countervailing duty in such manner as
would have permitted the free entry
OF Canadian wheat to the Minneapolis
market, failed to have any effect today
on the price. When the reciprocity
treaty was voted down two years ago,
the price of wheat jumped cents over
night. From the market standpoint
substantially the same thing occurred
today as was the case when Canada
voted down sthe reciprocity treaty, but
the news came into the pit and made
not q ruffle on the calm surface Of a.
quiet market. May wheat sold from
S7M cents to 875s cents and back to
STA cents.
On change here traders commented
upon the failure of the market to get
excited as was the case when the reci-
procity treaty met defeat. Heavy
