A CHRISTMAS HYMN

No tramp of marching armies,
No banners flaming far:
A lamp within a stable
And in the sky a Star.
Their hymns OF peace and gladness
TO earth the angels brought,
Their Gloria In Excelsis
To earth the angels taught:
i
When in the lowly Manager
The Holy Mother Maid
In tender alteration
Her Babe of heaven laid.
i,
Born lowly in the darkness,
And none as poor as he,
The little children Of the poor
His very own shall be.
No rush of hostile armies then.
But just tho budding sheep.
Thu angels singing of the Christ
And all the world asleep.
No flame Of cOnquering banners.
No legions sent afar:

LIKELY TO COST
 STATE $40,000.00
Those Investigating Insane Asylum Controversy Hesitate About Pro. ceedimg When Per Diem Seems
 in Danger.

Little Rock, April 1.--Whatever the result of Representative Johnsons in- junction suit may be. it will not in- terfere with the work of the special Investigating committees appointed by the legislature to audit and check up the various departments and of- fees of the state, as we'll as the state institutions.
 Governor Hays Thursday evening issued statement, copies of which were given each member of the com mitttees, to the effect that Sney should proceed with their work irrespective of court action on the Johnson in- junction.
 He advised the members that he had always been in favor of these in- yestigations and that he desires them to proceed as rapidly and as thor oughly as possible. For several months there have been rumors and charges afloat concerning some of the offices and institutions, and the people are entitled to know the facts He says that in view of these cOndl- tions. and without attempting to go into the questions of the legality Of the resolutions creating the commit tees, should he be advised by the at torney-general that it is proper for him to do so he will issue a procia- nation declaring that { sufficient emergency exists to justify creating a deficiency to meet the expenses Of the committees, and he feels that the money would be we'll spent.
 Representative Johnson estimates that the expense of the invest1ga- lions that are under way will be any, where from $2O,O00 to $40,0O0, and that the general Investigating com mittee will be at work for year, ii they go thoroughly into the records of all the institutions and depart? ments. It is costing nearly $50 day.
 The other committee involved IS that investigating the insane asylum controversy. When this committee met this morning it was plainly evl- dent dissension was brewing. At first the committee hesitated and faltered, trying to decide whether to continue the investigation despite the injunc- tion suit filed in the chancery court to uphold it's pay After sitting until 9.3O o'clock awaiting the beginning, Senator J. o. A. Bush entered the room and announced the committee would go into executive session. A few minutes later thecommlttee left the committee room and went to the governors office. Here brle1 conference with Governor George w. Hays was held. The committee then returned to the committee rooom and announced it was ready to begin hear ing testimony. Then followed an hour of disagreement, confined mostly to between Senator Bush and attor' news for the deposed board members, with occasional efforts of other mem bers to make peace and to begin the testimony. Then the committee went into executive session.

Russians Report Finding Badly Validated Bodies of
 700 People.
FEAR BUTCHERY OF
 MANY THOUSANDS
Verbal Messages from Urumiah Are Said to Confirm Reports of Kill ing of Mere Than 500, While 2,0O0
 Die of Disease.

London, April 1.-Hundreds of native Christians were rounded up by the Turks in the village Of Hat tdewan and massacred, preceding the reoccupation by the Russians of Salmac plains, northwest of Urumlan, according to dispatches received here from Pabriz, Persia, by way of Petro- grad. The reports state that many of the victims were searched from the homes of friendly Mohammedans. The Russians on entering the vil- lage found 720 bodies, mostly naked and mutilated. The recovery of bodies from wells, pools and ditches and their burial kept 300 men busy three days.
 The wailing of women intensified l the horror of the scene. Surviving widows who were able to identify the bodies of their husbands insisted upon digging graves and burying the bodies. Some of the victims had been shot. In other cases they were bound to ladders and their heads. / |protruding through, were hacked off. Eyes were gouged out and limbs chopped off.
 A general massacre of the 10000 or I15.O0O of Christians remaining in Uru miah is expected unless it should be |averteds by orders from 2. Constanti- noples
 Verbal messages from Urumiah confirm earlier reports that more | than 800 persons already have Deen killed in their neighborhood and more than 2,OO0 have died of disease. These messages also confirm the re- ports of mal-treatment of Rev. Dr. ID. T. Allen, American missionary at Urumiah.
