LEARNS LESSON IN
PRACTICAL FAITH

COLORADO SPRINGS, July 22.-
Glenn C. Morris, of the Exchange Ma
tional bank, who was treasurer for
the Billy Sunday fund, received
through the express office recently a
package from Sunday containing a
gold ring set with two handsome sap
phires of about three carats each
Morris, thinking Sunday was up to
one of his practical jokes, showed the
ring to friends and laughingly re-
marked that he intended to keep ii
as a souvenir even if it were only
glass.
Enter a newspaper reporter to
whom Morris displayed the 'trinket'
and laughed at what he thought was
q joke. The reporter was not SC
skeptical and borrowed the ring long
enough to carry it to jeweler and
learn its intrinsic value. He was not
surprised to learn that it would cost
at least s100 in any jewelry store in
the land. 1t took several minutes to
convince Morris that the gift was a
genuine, valuable ring. He finally
confessed that he had learned les
son in practical faith.

Predicts Another
Revolt in China

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, July 22.-
Recent arrivals here from China de-
clare almost without exception that
a giant revolt is imminent there
against President Yuan Shi Kai.
Yuan, they say, though a strong
and able man, has utterly failed to
comprehend the modern spirit which
has awakened among his countrymen.
His policy is denounced as one of
oppression, which the masses of the
Chinese, with the memory of their
last successful revolution still fresh
in their minds, show no disposition
to tolerate.
Much of the country, it is stated
by men who have travelled through it
and studied it thoroughly, is already
in revolt, though the rebels are gen.
orally referred to in officially-colored
dispatches, as mere brigands.' Good
judges of the situation freely discuss
that another vast struggle will be in
progress within another year.

Plain YaIIer Dog

CLEVELAND, July 22.-The larg-

seen here was scheduled to open to-
day. 1t was Cleveland's first annual
cur dog exhibit, staged by the Per

outing at Luna park.
Every year Cleveland sees one or
more shows where every conceivable
breed of dog from New Foundland to
French poodles are judged and ad-
mired, but dogs who are "just dogs
never get within barking distance OF
these affairs. Today the measliest
cur was judged with as much re-
spect as the proudest and most pam
pered bench dog. Several CANNES
who showed signs of snobbishness
tried to slip into the feast but were
promptly excluded by watchful and
unsympathetic judges.
After the show children who could
gain the parental consent were given

Vital Question up for
Discussion in Senate
(By Burton X. standish.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 22.--
Whether the senate itself or any
committee Of the senate has the right
to discuss questions Of public inter
est behind closed doors is question
that will be thoroughly threshed out
before the present session of con-
bress adjourns, if such senators as
Borah Of Idaho, Norris of Nebraska,
Kenyon of Iowa and La Toilette Of
Wisconsin, mean what they say.
Lively discussion on this point was
brought up when the senate foreign
relations committee, through Senator
Stone, asked for permission to inves-
tigate itself, with view Of discov.
ering Just what senator has been tell
ing the newspaper men what has
been happening behind the closed
doors Of the committee during its in
vestigation of Central American
finances in connection with the pro-
posed draft of the treaty with Mic
aragua.
Secretary of State Bryan has beer
Sitting in" at the meetings of the
committee all the way through and
on one day in particular he was shock
ed to read in the newspapers full
and complete account of the story
told the committee in confidence" by
representatives of Nicaragua.
The particular story that caused
the rub is said to have been that re.
garding the offer Of Germany to pay
more than $4,000, 900 for the optior
on the canal route II Nicaragua woult
not ratify the proposed treaty with
the United States.
Bryan at once was called upon BY
the Nicaraguans, who knew him bet
ter than they knew anyone on thu
committee, with = protest at theil
Testimony being given to the public
and they could not understand how
the newspapers had gotten such com
plete accounts Of their Testimony
without the stenographer's notes b.
ing given to the newspapers.

MILITIA MANEUvERS.

CAMP DOUGLAS, Wis, July 22.-
Not since the Civil war has this state
seen such military display as was
spread out on the camp grounds here
today when the entire state militia
went through their maneuvers. Over
5000 men, comprising forty compan-
les, hospital corps, bands and a cav
airy squadron were on the field.
The chance for service in Mexico
brought the guard enlistment up to
5000 within month and most of the
new members had seen service either
in the regular army or in the guards
The excitement also increased inter
est in the drills and Adjutant General
Holloway said today that the men are
better equipped than ever before.

ROOSEVELT ASKS
HEARING IN SENATE
Roosevelt Wants TO Appear Before Senate Foreign
Relations Committee and Explain Conditions Of
Canal Ireaty---h Chairman Opposes Request
United Press.

oAAtc0 I Tess.
WASHINGTON, d. c., July 22.-
Il am assuming full responsibility
of all acts connected with the acquisi-
ton of the Panama canal zone, y
Roosevelt wrote Chairman Stone of
the senate foreign relations commit
tee which is requesting hearing on
the pending treaty whereby America
will pay Colombia twenty-five million
dollars and express regret for actions
taken in the past.
In the letter he said he personal
ly directed or authorized every act
of the American government connect
ed with those negotiations and no.
body else living or dead SHARED the
responsibility with me, save in min
or degree"
There was no quorum today and
no action was taken. Stone person
ally opposes allowing Roosevelt to
appear. He said: 81 see no reason
for turning the committee meeting
into town hall proceeding. If
Roosevelt has anything important to
say, not already known, let him COM
municate the fact in writing"
Semi-weekly herald., 1914-07-23

ment that the doings Of the commit
tee should have leaked out, but not
half as much amazement as was ex-
pressed in the press gallery when it
was known that a majority of the
committee had "stood for the inves-
tigation resolution.
For "the boys" who had been writ
ing the news knew, and knew that
the members of the committee knew,
that the man on the committee who
does not talk to the Newspaper men
at some time following a meeting il
the rare exception.
Most of the committee members
have always recognized the nswspa-
per mems argument that the commit
tee had no right to withhold such In
formation from the public, and this
belief always has and probably al
ways will, make executive meetings
largely futile.
Senators Norris and Borah point
out that these two treaties, with Co.
Iumbia and Nicaragua, involve the
paying out of the United States
treasury Of $28, 600, 900 in money, and
the granting Of privileges which are
worth inostimable millions more in
connection with the Panama canal.
They declare, with other senators,
that the people of the United States
are entitled to know every fact about
the entire financial history Of the
countries, and just what are the res
SONS for and against the treaties
which are discussed at such length In
the committee meetings.
They further point out that under
the plan proposed, not only will the
committee meetings be executive, but
the treaties themselves will be con-
sidered inexccutive sessions of the ssa-
ate, SO that the treaties may actually
be ratified without the American pso-
pie ever knowing the truth or falsity
Of the sensational charges made.
Debate in the open senate on these
treaties Is the demand OF the progres-
sive senator's Of both parties, and
this leads back to the fact that the.
progressive element desires that an
executive sessions Of the senate
should be abolished, evcept in the
consideration Of questions Of great
delicacy affecting the international
relations Of this government.

For nearly a century past the ia

No composer, who fails to line up

hope to get his opera produced in
Italy. Mrs. McCormick's prize which
is to be repeated every year for ten
years, also insures the production in

WHERE FOUR SERVANTS
DO THE WORK OF ONE
(By Temple Manning.)

Wy ACH-piS MdHiluk.J
If the housewife in lands where
every modern convenience lies close
at hand has difficulty in securing
good servants, you can we'll imagine
what woman on the East African
coast must endure. She has plenty
of servants, but what servants they
are!
IT was once my good fortune tc
spend delightful month with a
friend who has established his home
in Nairobi. He would not hear Of
my putting up anywhere but at his
house, to which he instantly carried
me off.
That night l slep soundly, SO sound
ly that the next morning, when l was
awakened by terrible yell, / sprane
out of bed, reached my revolver, and
was half way out of doors when my
host stopped me. His wife had sent
for cook, and the candidates had
arrived.
Later l went out on the veranda
and watched my charming hostess
give audience and select her 'm'pezi'
(cook). It was no easy task to make
a selection from the host of excited
chattering negroes. Her house boy
had lined them up in order of their
arrival, but still they were crowding
through the gate. At the foot Of the
steps stood another Of the house
"boys," who handed to madam the
dirty, pasted together "baruas" (tes-
timonials).
Now, these "baruas" are usually
worthless, because the natives buy
or steal them from each other, and a
useless servant may present a fine
"m'pezi's" credentials. Still you have
to give them some attention. In tho
midst of reading one of the "baraus'
my hostess startled me with a loud
laugh. Instantly there was COM
motion in the throng, and the boy
who had handed in the "abarua'
dashed for his life away.
Still laughing, my hostess handed
me the testimonial. 1t read: "Tc
Whom it May Concern: The bearer
is thief, and the worst cook it was
ever my misfortune to have. Please
hick him out"
Finally, from the thronb cook
was engaged, and two others were
told to return in case the first die
not live up to his promise.
theoretically, servants are suppoa
ed to pay for their own food ont Of
their own salaries, but il never hap
pens. Not only do they eat at you,
expense, but they adorn their per
sons with your butter, rubbing it al
over their bodies until they chine il
the sun.
My host told me that his wifi.
could never keep dish towels in tn,
house--the servants always stol,
| tnem to wear on state occasions. Tit
red borders made them fine dccora
tions. When she bought plain -bor
dered towels they still di,appeared--
they served for everyday wear.

odd jobs around the garden. Cool
and boy each receive about t8, an

And yet one good American ssrvan
would do the work Of al four mucl
