fiuence just now. Even as these re-
liglous studies have constantly I'M
pinged upon the field of Jewish pat
riotism, so the call to-day is for
Christian men and women to exer-
else, persistently, purposefully and
potently. their influence in behalf of
the highest national ideas. The
Jews of old never passed through n
graver crisis than that which encom-
passes the nations of the world at
the present time.
The Prophets Part
Probably the average school
teacher wields more potent infiu-
ence over the life than the average
office-holder. taking the two classes
in the large. Kings, on the whole.
have counted for less than the great
reformers, writer's and preachers.
To be a speaker forth of truth is to
WELD the mightiest septer. After
David and Solomon - both of whom
combined the prophet-function with
their sovereignty, so that they are
immortal as teachers, rather than as
rulers-there was no king among the
prophets. Elijah dwarfed all his
contemporaries.
To be the man who speaks for God
in a nations troubled hour is a great
mission. What If the prophets work
is hard for the prophet? Better
truths tempests than errors ease.
Elijah in the wilderness is a Sublimer
figure than Ahab on his throne. God
still has ravens to feed His messen-
gers, so that the messengers need
give little thought to the ravens, but
only to the message. The firm pays
the expenses of it's travelling repre-
sentatives.

ter's lessons ended squarely con-
fronting the great and eternal truth
that to represent God, to speak His
message fearlessly, to be true to His
name and mission, is the highest
work possible to mortal. When the
times are most troublous, then the
need for the tellers of the truth of
God is greatest. The highest patriot
ism is to call ones country back TO
the faith of its fathers.

VAN HORNS DEFENCE
Dvnamter Of Canadian Bridge Says Plot Was Fatched in
Fatherand-Appeals to Won Bernstorf-otate
Department Waits Legal Procedure.

the officials here attach no Importance
to this plea.
The German embassy was much in
terested in the case, but delayed pass
ing on Van Horns request pending
a report on his citizenship from the
German Consul General in New YORK.
The Canadian government in making
its application referred to the man as
an ordinary civil criminal. Incidentally,
il is pointed out, TINS insures Van
Horn. in the event of his surrender
under eXtradition proceedings, from
being treated as German spy or even
as a military prisoner.
Van Horns telegram to the German
Embassy at Washington follows:

Answer"
The prisoner signed his message
Werner Horn" instead of Werner
Van Horn" by which name he has
been known here. His statement that
he had not been on Canadian soil IS
in contradiction to earlier statements
which he is alleged TO have made to
the police. According to the latter

the Canadian side, but also recelvei
the explosive from man who met nm

Whitman Facing Fight
with Legislature Over
Reform Measure.
GOVERNOR SAYS HE
WILL NOT ALTER 1T
County Chairmen Said To Be
with Controller TO Save
His Patronage.

. q
Albany, Feb. g. Governor whitman
is facing fight with the Legislature as
the result of his efforts TO further his
tax reform measure. State Controller
Travis. who will suffer a considerable
loss Of patronage if the bill becomes
law. is quietly directing the fight. lie
has succeeded in whipping into line a
number Il Republican Senator'S and
Assemblymon. who are under orders
from their county chalrmen to defeat
the bill. Some friends of the Governor
regard the situation as serious; others
bell I'VE it will simmer down before the
bill comes up for final passage.
But legislators who are backing Con-
troller Travis, some of whom are OF
the reactionary or "old guard type, de-
clared tonight that the bill was al
ready defeated in the Senate. 1t would
take only nine Republican votes to do
this, provided the Democrats, who num-
ber seventeen, voted soidly against the
bill. as they undoubtedly will.
When the Governor sent the bill TO
the LEGISLATURE a fortnight ago, accom-
panied by 2 message urging its pass
age, Controller Travis, according to
Trustworthy reports, went TO prominent
Republican leaders and said that IL the
bill went through the organization
would be crippled and scores of good
organization men would be thrown out
of fat jobs.
That he received more than moral
support is evident from the attitude OF
some of the legislators. Some admit
without qualification that they are
against the bill merely because 1t takes
Jobs away from the Controllers de-
partment.
One prominent Republican Senator
said tonight: THE bin will be defeat
cd unless it is amended. Under no
circumstances can it pass il 1t means
the taking away OF some OF the powers
Of the Controller. Mr.. Travis has rec
ognized the county organization
throughout the state IN the matter OF
appointments. This cannot be said OF
the Governor. SO you see where the
Governor will get of"
The Governor said time and again
that he would not alter the bill IN any
material form. lie takes the position
that il represents the best thought IN
tax assessing and collecting. and that
if he will have % tight for the Dill, as
Governor Hughes did Tor the racetrack
bill and the Public Service Commis-
sion act, he will fight.

from Tie TELbune Bureau. J


Washington, Feb. g. 3.-Ambassador
Spring Rice late to-day conveyed to the
State Department Great Britain's re-
quest for the eXtradition OF Werner
Van Horn, the selfconfessed dyna-
miter. who yesterday tried 20 destroy
the international railway bridge at st.
Croix, y. B. The request for eNtradi-
ton was sent to the British Embassy
from Ottawa.
At the State Department 1t was SAID
there seemed nothing out OF the ordl-
nary in the situation which Van horn
had created. and that IN due course.
following an investigation by United
States commissioner to be designated
by the Department OF Justice. he would
bc turned over 10 the Canadian authorl-
ties in the same manner as any other
alleged criminal charged with an OF
fence OF eXtraditable character,
The State Department is not dlspOSed
10 give much weight TO the claim ad-
vanced by Van Horn that his act was
q military or political offence and that
there fore under the existing treaty
with Great Britain he is not eXtcadita-
bic. Such efforts as have thus lsr
been made By the State Department. 10
discover if this claim Is tenaoIe haEe
failed to disclose any ground lot IT,
although officials say the entire case
must await the decision o. the inVesU-
eating commissioner.
That any international computations
can grow out OF the act - not expected
and the State Department IS earnest III
its assertion that the fact OF van
Horns being a German subject VIII ho'
help him either way.
The ambassador called personally at
the department and presented a Driet
note 10 Secretary Bryan based on
communication from the Canadian MIN
istsr of Justice at Ottawa informing
The embassy that Van Horn was want
cd on the charge OF attempting TO de-
strov human life through the witul
ard unlawful destruction OF the 81.
CroiX River bridge.
Sccretary Bryan referred the com
-runicatiop 10 the solicitor of the de-
uartment for examination as TO It's
form. II the application Is found TO be
regular Van Horn will be ordered be
fore a United States commissioner
nearest 10 Vanceboro, where he is now
under detention. and the Canadian au-
thorities will be allowed the privilege
OF appearing by counsel and making
out a prima fscie case sufficient to
Justify the demand for the surrender
of the prisoner.
Van Horn already has indicated his
purpose Of fighting extradition. In a
telegram to-day he appealed 10 the
German Ambassador TO look after his
interests, declaring he was a German
subject and did not put foot on
Canadian soil"
The last statement was taken here
20 indicate a purpose on the part OF
the prisoner 10 make the technical
point that though lie was on the
bridge. ne did not actually stand on
Canadian soil. As the divisional line
or boundary between the United states
and Canada follows the middle line OF
the St. Croix River, and the piers OF
the bridge rest on Canadian soil at
the end where Van Horn is said to
have placed his charge Of Dynamite

Should this remedy fail, the bakers
see nothing TO do but advance bread
prices. The action taken by Commits
Sioner Dillon yesterday followed a
lengthy conference with Hugo Fred
ericks, president of the Wholesale
Bakers Association, and other repre-
sentative bakers. 1t was a pessimistic
gathering. Many of the bakers have
been selling their product at loss for
weeks
Although little hope was expressed
that the makeshift would be success
full, it was decided that nothing must
be overlooked in the effort to keep five
cent bread. The telegram is as fol-
lows:
"The bakers Of this state are work

commendable effort TO avoid The i'm

legal means exist TO restrain -four deal
ers from advancing prices TO the spec
