Peoria. Oct Sensational devel.

by Coroner VIM. B Elliott today, from
an inquiry into the death of Jesse
Barker millionaire banker and club
man, who was found dead in his home
Sunday wit. bullet wound in his
head Coroner Elliott will make a
thoro probe. he declared, and init
mated that grounds for charge OF
murder may exist.
The bullet that killed Barker was
found in bathtub and coroner Elliot
asserts II would have been difficult for
the bullet to have fallen into the bath
tub had it been fired by Barker from
the position in which the body was
found The absence of powder marks
on Barker's temple where the bullet
entered also is regarded as an indica
ton that Barker may not have tar er

tiers that may throw light on circum

THE TWO MONROE DOC
TRINES.

There is fundamental difference,
said Viscount lshii, after announcing
Japans new Asia-for Asiatics policy
between the Monroe Doctrine of the
United States as to Central and South
America and the enunciation of
Japan's attitude toward China. In the
first, there is on the part of the United
States no engagement or promise,
while in the other. Japan voluntarily
announces that Japan will herself en-.
gage not to violate the political or
territorial integrity of her neighbor,
and will observe the principle of the
open door and equal opportunity, ask
ing at the same time other nations to
respect these principles"
The Japanese envoy is either mis-.
taken in this view, or not altogether
candid. Americans cannot admit that
the new Japanese Monroe Doctrine is
any more unselfish or any more ex.
plicit than our own.
II is true that our Monroe Doctrine
in Its original form. and in the form
1t retained for nearly a century. did
not pledge the United States itself
to refrain from violating the political
or territorial integrity of its neigh
bors. We may conjecture that it new
er occurred to James Monroe that any
+ body would ever suspect his countr,
OF such a purpose. Our government
has uniformly lived up to the idea
embodied in that famous document. |
cannot be charged that we have eve
abused any rights the doctrine has Civ
en- us. But whatever ground Their
might have been for fear Of Yanke,
aggression against the other Amer
cas- was removed by an explicit state
ment made by President Wilson il
1918.
In that statement the president
placed the United States on record as
renouncing forever any thought OF
obtaining an additional foot of Amer
lean territory by conquest. Tha,
pledge is now an integral part of the
Monroe Doctrine, and should be &C.
copied as such by japan.

CONGRESS UNHESiTANT

Washington Oct. 9.-Since war was

All Churches of City Have Spe.
ciaI 0bserVancepf Day and
Feast of Circumcision.

The new year and its prospects, the
old year and what it brought was
the subject for many sermons deliv'
cred In Washington churches at serv,
ices this morning.
Prayers were offered by congrega-
tions for cessation OF hostilities and
restoration OF peace, together with
suppIication for better thought, high
er deeds and cleaner living during the
new year. Many pastors chose the
time for sermons on practical sub
5ects.
The Rev. James Gordon, OF First
CongreEational Church, spoke at
length on the four main causes OF
wfckedness. They were, he said,
money, csrelssness, drink, and pleas
ure. He spoke on the sacredness of
marriage and of father and mother
hood
New Year Day is an epoch in a
persons life, stated the Rev. Charles
T. Warner during his sermon at Mt
st. Adams Church yesterday: New
Year Day, he said, is the time when
q man should look to God for strength
for the new year, after shuddering at
his sins of the old year.
The Rev. wallace Radcliffe, of New
York Avenue Presbyterian Church,
gave q comprehensive resume of the
happenings of 1916 and called II a
year of notable achievements toward
regeneration and righteousness.
Among the happenings of signifIc-
ance during the Old Year cited by the
pastor were the accession of the Dan
fish West Indies, the arrival OF the
German undersea trader in Baltimore,
the march of prohibition, woman suf-
frege, the Mexican ''muddle," the IL
Elimination of the Statue of Liberty
in New York, the centenary OF the
American Bible Society, the upheaval
in the British government, the Irish
revolt, the reversion in China to nom
inal republicanism, the Panama con-
gress, "and over all the bloodstains
and through all the carnage Of the
European war"
The feast of circumcision is being
observed in practically all Washing
ton Catholic and Episcopal churches
today The services are similar to
regular Sunday services and in many
churches the choirs are giving the
same musical programs rendered at
the Christmas services last week.
Long before daylight this morning.
the Dominican Friars began the cele
bration of masses in st. Dominick's
Church. The last mass was said at
II o'clock. The choir, under the d.
rection of Miss Jennie Glennon, sang
Christmas music.
