Jostles Harlan, Mr. Guthrie declared, hud
referred to the Securities company as the

panies, that Is the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern. - Mr. Outhrle spoke of the
lost that might be sustained by ths cash
investors by reason of the return of the
Northern PaeMe stock and he said that
there were sufficient remaining In the treas

protect their equities. He mads the sug

Pacific stock, which, Ifarrlman and Pierce
claim as their owit'tfroperty. ;
This would be a partial distribution which

of ths most Important. Action on the adop

expected to bring forth the greatest dis

CHICAGO, May 23,-Flve hundred mem
be! t of the Illinois Manufacturers' associa
tion and their guests were present at the
banquet of that organisation which was
held tonight at the Auditorium hotel. The
chief address of ths evening was mads by
William C. Brown, vice president of the
New York Central Railroad company, who
spoke on "Our Country and Our Railroads."
After reference to the vast and rapid
growth of ths railroads of the United States
and its effect on business of every kind,
he declared that In fifty years the wisdom
of securing the Philippine Inlands would
bo as triumphantly vindicated as has that
of ths Louisiana purchase. Continuing, he
said:
'Th most serious menace that clouds our
national horlson today, ominous now and
Increasing in size and anger jond portent,
Is ths rapid growth of our cities as com
pared with our agricultural districts. No
man can regard the growth of the great
centers of population, with their sinister
dangerous, preponderating influence In the
politics of the state and nation, without
alarm. The remedy for this evil and the
safety of tho nation lies In building up,
encouraging and Increasing our agricultural
population. More farms, and more prosper
ous farmers, greater In number and In
prosperity Is our strongest hope.
; "Tho reclamation of our arid lands, the
settlement of the millions of uncultivated
fertile lands of the northwestern states,
promise much In this direction, but with
largely increased products of the farm
must como vastly broadened markets, or
the labor of the husbandman will Indeed be
In vain. '
Thinks Merger Solves Problem.
'Consolidations for the purpose of foster
ing commerce, combinations of roads which
would bring the groat grain producing,
manufacturing states of the middle west
in closer connection with the Important and
growing exporting cities of the northwest,
tho gateway to the Orient, and which
would closely connect the great forest clad
states of Oregon and Washington, contain
ing as they do 10 per cent of the standing
timber of the United Btates, with the al
most treeless states of the Missouri and
Mississippi valleys, have been met with
opposition as fierce and persistent as that
encountered by any similar proposition In
the past.
It Is not Impossible that the language of
tho majority of the supreme court In re
cently deciding an important case may in
the light of years to come seem to reflect
the clamor of the publio rather than the
carm Judicial review of a great question by
this exalted tribunal. If this shall prove to
be ths case it will simply be another re
markably exact repetition Of history In
eases having many closely analogous fea
tures." Plea for Rnssla.
Melville E. Etone spoke on 'The Russian
Japanese War." He made an earnest plea
for neutrality on the part of the citizens
of this country, saying that he asked for it
not in. letter or. aot alone, but in essence
and lit spirit. He declared that Russia had
been- the -strong and consistent friend of
the . American, republio almost from . its
foundation down to tha present time and
recounted . numerous ; historical facts to
prove his assertion.
He declared that in all probability had it
not been for the attitude of Russia during
ths. civil war other nations Of Europe would
have intervened In the struggle, and the
result would have been the disruption of
the nation. Our obligation to Japan he
aid was of a different character, but no
less binding.
"It Is," he said, "ths obligation of tho
parent to the child." '
From the eventful day when Perry thun
dered at her gates and forced their open
ing Japan has been led step by step Into
the paths of western civilisation by the
United States. Her sons have been grad
uated ot Tale and Harvard; her own uni
versities have been-tiiught by American
professors; her ministers of stats are from
our universities; her best admirals from
our naval schools; her scientific engineers
from our technical Institutions. '
"Let us form whatever private Judgment
we will respecting the merits of the con
troversy, not forgetting thst there is much
Justice on both sides; but as a people,
whether Officially or as Individuals, let us
do no act that may be eonstrusd Into fur
thering the cause of one of our friends
sgttntt the other."
LAYS BAN ON DIVORCED PEOPLE
Presbyterians Wonld Hare Ministers
Marry Noae Aaalnst Rales of
Other Churches.
BUFFALO, N. T., May M.-At the gen
eral assembly of the Presbyterian Church
of the United States today the special com
mittee on marriage and divorce made its
report and submitted the following recom
mendations for ths consideration and action
Of ths general assembly;
Tha general assembly enjoins all min
isters under its care and authority to refuse
to perform the marriage ceremony in the
cases of divorced persons, except as such
persons have been divorced upon grounds
and for causes recognised as scriptural in
the standards of our church.
Recognising the comity which should exist
between Christian churches, and believing
that It would be desirable and tend to the
increase of a spirit of Chrfntian unity, we
earnestly advise all the ministers under the
care and authority of this general ainbly
to refuse to unite in marrlaKe any person
or persons whose marriages such ministers
have good reason to believe Is forbidden
by the laws of the churoh in which such
person or persona seeking to be luarrisd
may hold membership.
The appeal and address to the Interchurch
conference is hereby endorsed by this gen
eral assembly, and commended to the
consideration of all our ministers and con.
gregatlons. The stated elerk Is instruoted
to lMus it In such form and to such sxtent
as may seem desirable and expedient, and it
is requested that It be read by paxtor from
their pulpits on some auspicious Sabbath.
Ths stated clerk la directed to call the
special attention of presbyteries to the
action ot ths general assembly, with the
view to scouring the enforcement of ex
isting laws and obedience to ths injunc
tions of the general assembly.
Ths committee on marriage and divorce
la eontinued and lnstructad tu "co-operate
with the representatives of other churches
In endeavoring to obtain such ecclesiastical
unity and such state or national leglnlutlon
as may shield both church nnd state from
existing and Impending perils.
The committee Is working with ths com
mittees of thirteen other denominations, all
of which fcrm the Interchurch conference
on marriage and divorce, which recently
Issued an appeal to the Christian public
Telegrams were received and read amid
great enthusiasm from ths assemblies of
the Cumberland Presbyterian church at
Dallas and the Prebyterian church of
ths United States at Mobile, rejoicing in
the probable union ot all three bodies.
North Dakota's overture for the abolition
of tbs commute contract with ths Con
gregational chureh was referred to a spa.
clal oommitte on church co-oparaUoa and
union. Overtures on the subject of ovangel
Istlo work. Including tho overturs relative
to the Bt Louis exposition, were referred
to a special commute, on evangelistic work.
Tho report of the special committee on
forms waa fhen taken up. .Dr. Van Dyks
of Princeton Is chairman of the committee,
which reported a form for morning service
and a form for baptism of Infants. Th
proposed new forms have not been viewed
with favor by the conservatives, who think
they savor of ritualism.
Speaking on the subject. Dr. Van Dyke
aid that 71 per cent of 1,000 churches se
lected at random by tho committee were
already using some form of service with
a responsive feature. Nine-tenth of the
ministry desire a book' of forms, not a
prayer book, not a litany, not a ritual, but
a "collection of forms proper and helpful
for voluntary use in Prssbytsrlan churches."
Debate on the report of tho committee
on marriage and .divorce was then begun.
A number of the commissioners took x
ceptlon to th second paragraph -of th
committee's recommendation advising min
isters to unite in marriage any persons
whoso marriage is forbidden by th laws
of other churches. This paragraph wai
finally stricken out by a vot of K to 144.
Th report as amended was then adopted.

HEIMBEnGEH HAS ItlGHT TO MARRY
Says He Seen red a Divorce from First
Wife March Sift.
MITCHELL, 8. D., Msy 28. (Special
Telegram.) Sioux City papers of Saturday
and Sunday contained -what was intended
for a scnsatlqnal article concerning - tha
marriage of W. A. Helmberger of this city
and Miss Lulu Maud Berg of Grand Island,
Neb. It was intimated In those articles
that Mr. Helmberger had a. wife living at
Grand Island when , he .was married to
Mies Berg at Dakota City.
The announcement of the marriage met
th eye of the former wife at Orand Isfand
and an Investigation red to the knowledge
that her husband had been married..-' In
conversation With .Mr.' Helmberger today
he stated that-h w.s free to marry Miss
Berg, as he secured 'a divorce from his
first wife at Sioux Falls on March a. She
was cognisant of the fact that he .had
begun proceedings and, had, been visited
by an attorney IfeUOqur ha testimony.
Tha decree of dlvorna anda oopy ef the
Same was sent to him "at" this" city" a few
days 'after and !t"'ta bis Intention to
mall a copy of the decree to the first Mrs.
Helmberger at some rurure date. He said
he put the matter off from- day to day,
and finally married "without apprising his
first wife, of his freedom that had come
to them through the divorce court.- The
absence of this knowledge caused the In
vestigation of his marriage to be made by
Rev. Ziramer, the brother of the first
wife. Th copy of the decree was mailed
the first Mrs. Helmberger at once and will
put' an end to the trouble.
But a few people in this city knew that
he had been- recently married, supposing
that whsn Mr. Helmberger returned, to
Mitchell May 6 that he had simply brought
his wife to this city and naturally some
surprise was caused by th evident secrecy
that had tried to be maintained.
Mr. Helmberger says a full statement
of the entire matter will be given to the
papers within a few days.

AMERICAN SHIP BUILDING

CLYDE ADVOCATES A SHIP SUBSIDY
Other Prosalaeat Balldera Give Is,
ortaat aad Interesting Testi
mony Before the Merchant
. Marian Coatntisslea.
NEW YORK, May O.-Th Merchant
Marin commission, authorised by th
Fifty-eighth congress to consider and
recommend legislation for th development
of the American merchant marln. began
its fit st session here today. Senator tl
linger of New Hampshire is chairman ot
ths Commission, which Is composed ot mem
bers of both branches of congress, la
vltatlons have been sent to th chief ship
owners and builders of that port, to marln
engineers and ' given to the sailor before
the msst to appear before the commission.
Senator Oalllnger in opening th inquiry
pointed out that mor than W pr cnt ot
th foreign commerce of this country 1
being carried in foreign ships snd said th
commission will b fortunat if th discus
sion here and elsewhere sheds such light
on th subject as will enable it to recom
mend to congress legislation of a remedial
character.
Thomas Clyde of the Clyde line, th first
witness called, strongly advocated ship
subsidy. After deep study of the problem
he was convinced that this wss th best
plan to be pursued. He presented a cnart,
showing the standing of th chief mari
time nations of th world. The United
States stands at th bottom. All th na
tions, he ssld, have given aid of some sort
to natural conditions.
Clyde Believe la Bnbsldy.
Mr. Clyde said th United States must
pay th builders th difference In cost of
building and also enough to enable them to
operat th ships on account of the much
higher rat paid sailors unaer tne ahich
can flag. Such ships should be restricted
to th foreign trade, as coastwise trade
needs no subsidy.
C. B. Oroutt, president of the Newport
News Shipbuilding company, told tne com
mission that shlDS can be built in England
for 75 per cent less than they can be built
her. Th cause ot this, he said, is that
76 per cent more is paid for labor In th
yards of this country than in Oreat Britain
and at the same tlm ther is 40 per cent
In the cost of material In favor of the
English builders. H said the protective
tariff was responsible for the difference In
cost of material. In a later statement,
however, he corrected his estimate to from
40 to 60 per cent. Mr. Orcutt said that
while a few battleships had been Built m
American yards for foreign countries, he
Was of the opinion that they were not built
at a profit. He knew that American build
ers mad tenders to both Russia ana japan,
but. although the bids were almost down
to cost, they were rejected absolutely as
too high.
Klxon Lays Fault to Tariff.
Lewis Nixon said builders in this country
had bean constructing too good ships for
American use. There Is no demand for
th English tramp type of vtssei in this
country. . He said the cost of building her
was greater than In England.
' "Suppose you should tak the duty off
all shipbuilding materials, do you thlnfe
that would be of benefit?" asked Senator
Xodgv -. ; -. : .
' "You would have to tak th tariff off
verytbmg, because everything -go into
i shh '.lfMwe .had;Jtr material and fro
hips we would bava .to have fre labor,
too, because you recognise that labor is
protected as well."
H said that foreign countries mad I2f,
000.000 in bounties.
Mr. Nixon was In favor of differential
duties. This, to his mind, would make a.
demand for American ships because
through differentials foreigners as well as
ourselves would be Induced to ship in
American bottoms.
Rear Admiral Bowles, president of th
For River Shipbuilding company of
Qulncy, Mass., said that th only advan
tage we have over English end Scotch
builders is In wood, very little of which I
used In cargo carriers. Steel plates here
are 60 per cent higher. The wage her ex
ceed those in English yard by from SO to
eo per cent.
Battleships To Cheap.
"On July 1 of last year," he continued,
"I made a list of battleships and armored
cruisers building in this country and Eng
land. To my surprise I found that th
cost was the same here as In England.
Why? If th American builder bid In a
business way this would be Impossible. But
there has. been cut-throat competition to
get tha contracts for battleships. There is
not a battleship building at a price which
the. builder can. afford. In the English
yards th ships ar built at th earn price
as In th navy yards."
Admiral Howies ssld there ar several
ways of getting a merchant marine and
suggested absolute free trad a on of
them.
"How about th cost of labor?" asksd
Senator Oalllnger.
"Labor?" rejoined Admiral Bowles. "It's
a horrid thought."
"American labor would hare to' com
down," Senator Lodge answered for Ai
mlral Bowles.
Representative McDermott asked If It la
not a fact that th prlc of steel rails I
absolutely maintained by the steel pool and
the admiral replied: "I bellsv it is so.".
Admiral Bowles eontinued:
"I believe It Is worth while to have a
merchant marine and the cheapest and
most direct way to get it is for th govern
ment to step in and equalise the cost of
building ships and then should pay a
bounty to tha shipowner for th additional
cost of running the ships under American
laws. ' This should operate for ,a fixed
period, so thst capital might b Invited
in."
X r. Craig of Toledo, O... a shipbuilder,
aid that if congress gives th shipbuilding
In th way of subsidies In ten years Amer
ican builders will be constructing ships for
England.
The hearing was adjourned until tomor
row. CADETS AND GUARDS AT CAMP
