END OF THE FAIR
(Continued from First Page.)
the Intellectual end Industrial advancement
of the world, and the (lawn of a new era
In the International relations of govern
nients and peoples.
It is a credit for any state to have had
such a gathering within Its borders nnd a
glory to any city to have been the scene
of such an aseinbllng. It has brought all
countries closer together and has elevated
the world.
Breaking for myself, It 1ms been the work
of my lire. The duties of the position I
have held have not only claimed my entire
time and thought (having not failed to he
on the grounds from six to fourteen hours
each and every day since the opening, May
1 last), but the performance of those du
ties has been so pregnant with pleasure
and Interest that It has dispelled all feel
ings of weariness, nnd its cessation will
seem like the severing of beloved ties, the
departure from the scenes endeared by
chrished associations.
I tender you sincere thanks for this mani
festation of your good will, which I shnll
ever hold 111 sweet remembrance. To have
served our fellows with all of the strength
and ability granted to us Is a duty, Vie dis
charge of which Is of Itself sufficient re
ward Those who can feel that their ef
forts which have been devoted to the up
lifting and welfare of humanity are ever
filled with a sense of regret that they could
not have accomplished more. But, lest we
forget, let us unite In expressing our grati
tude to the Almighty God that throughout
this Work In which we have been engaged
He has spared us from pestilence, preserved
our health- and strength and hfcsHed us
with prosperity. May this enterprise with
which we have been connected for nearly
seven years past bring into still closer
brotherhood all the nations and nil the
peoples who have participated In It. May
It deepen our patriotism. May it strengtnen
our love for a benign providence that smiles
upon us.
tlrer Tea. Serrlee for Francis.
After the cheering following President
Francis' speech had died away, Festus J.
Wade of Bt. Louis, a member of the board
of directors, waa Introduced and presented
to President Francis a beautiful silver tea
service as a token of esteem from the ex
position management. A similar gift was
presented to Treasurer William II. Thomp
son. Unfortunately Mr. Thompson was
unable to be present, as be waa confined
at hla home with a severe oold. President
Francis, who has probably been more
closely connected wtlh Mr. Thompson than
any other one official from the beginning
of the World's fair, responded for him. .
Promptly at c o'olock all the great ex
hibit palaces were closed and visitors were
excluded. .' In the palace of agriculture on
slaughts were mada on some of the ex

As the night drew on throngs concen
trated In the main avenues to view for the
last time the magnificent electric Illumina
tion, One solid stream of humanity swept
through the Pike, from end to end. The
spirit of revelry was there. Never since
the opening had more enllvement been
shown at night on the grounds.
- Steadily the white electric bulbs outlined
the exhibit palaces against the night, peri
odically the , Illumination of the terrace of
states surmounting festival hall changed
from white to red. then to green and
then back to white. Over on agricultural
knoll the great floral clock clicked off the
minutes of the departing pageant. And In
the night rang out the tones of the massive
bell as the midnight hour was tolled by
the great clock. Instantly a hush seemed
to pervade the entire grounds. The glow
ing electiie bulbs slowly begun dimming,
the pulsations . of the great engines that
drove the cascades gradually died down,
the light faded steadily, diminishing' until
but a faint glow was perceptible. Sud

APPEAL TO JHE PRESIDENT
Woman's Christian Temperance Colon
Wants the Indians Kept
from Liquor. '
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1. President
Roosevelt was toduy requested by the Na
tional Woman's Christian Temperance
union, In convention here, to see that con
gress observes the existing treaties with
the Indians prohibiting the sale of Intoxi
cating liquor before granting statehood
rights to the Indian territory, -
The resolution was presented by Mrs.
Margaret Dye Kills of Washington, chair
man of the legislative committee, and the
following telegram . was forwarded to the
president:
1 "The National Woman's Christian Tem
perance union, representing 600,000 women
of the United States, most respectfully
urges that youl4 great Influence be given to
carrying out treaties of our government
with the Indians concerning the sale of in
toxicating liquors In Indian territory, and
that this prohibitory clause be inserted In
the enabling act for the new state."
Among the addresses made today before
the convention was one on the subject of
"Nonalcoholic Medication," by Mrs. M. M.
Allen of New York, and on "Health and
Heredity," by Mrs. Louise C. Hurington,
M. D., of Massachusetts.
These were the features of the forenoon
session aside from the reports of depart
mental superintendents.
Reports were presented by Mrs. Stella B.
Irvine of California on Sunday school work,
Mrs. E. B. Ingalls of Missouri on antl
narcotlcs, Mrs. Nellie E. Carman of Illinois
on medal contests, and others.
Mrs. Allen reviewed the work of the
year In the expose of the alcoholic nature
of many patent medicines. Prominent
physicians were quoted as being opposed
to the use of liquor for medicinal purposes
and this was advaneed as a strong argu
ment in favor of total abstinence. "This
topic excites more Interest than any
brought before the state unions," said Mrs.
Allen, "and a feature of the year has
been the number of Women's Christian
Temperance union meetings addressed by
prominent physicians."
Mrs. Lucy Thurmon of Michigan, the na
tional superintendent of work among col
ored people, said the branch was becoming
effective In the politics of communities.
The Fourth ward of Columbus, O., was
cited as an instance of the strength of
the colored union at the polls. The white
people of that ward expected the colored
vote to defeat the local option laws, but
the colored people voted the other way and
the ward is dry." ,
The report of the committee on resolu
tions was considered shqrtly before the
afternoon adjournment and final action on
It will be taken tomorrow. The action
taken, among other things, reaffirms the
position of the union on the canteen ques
tion and protests against Reed Smoot re
taining his seat In the United States senate.
The resolutions request that the pending
bill for the admission Into the union of
Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma and In
dian territories should be so amended as
to give 'the' franchise to women, and also
encourage the furtherance of the organiza
tion of temperance societies as adjuncts to
the labor organizations.
One of the resolutions is as follows:.
We deplore the tendency! of writer, r
modern fiction to assume that the bottle
and the pipe are necessary adjuncts of
many of their characters, and we recognize
the statements of Dr. Crothers, the well
known authority on Inebriety, "that the
use of alcohol Is influencing, literature of
the day,"
The executive committee announced that
the convention of 1906 will be held In Los
Angelas.

ARGUMENT IS BURTON CASE
GoTernatent Insist! that Kansas Senator
Violated the Law.
SAY CHAIN OF EVIDENCE IS COMPLETE
Attorneys for the - Defense Allege
that the Charge of Lower Court
Was Vnfalr Their
Client.
WASHINGTON, Dec 1. Solicitor General
Hoyt of the Department of Justice made
the opening 'argument for the government
in the case of United States Senator J. R.
Burton of Kansas In the supreme cmirt of
the United States today. Mr. Hoyt con
tended that this was an ordinary criminal
m m a V. a . th. miuHnntn rvf triA tllHS-
dlction of the court which tried Mr. Bur
ton could not be successfully maintained.
Replying to a question from Justice White,
Mr. Hoyt said Mr. Burton's name appeared
on the Rlalto company's circulars, but at
what time he could not say. Justice White
replied that as the department was investi
gating the case the time seemed very ma
terial. Mr. Hoyt argued that Senator Burton
knew Just what he was doing whn he ac
cepted service with -the Rlalto company.
He said it was questionable whether a sen
ator should perform such services as were
required of the defendant by the company,
but that when he accepted a fee "he com
pleted the fatal chain."
Mr. Hoyt discussed the claim of the de
fense that the charge was an "Infamous
crime" Instead of a "misdemeanor," and
therefore that the defense should have ten
Instead of three challenges. He claimed
that the contelton of the defense was not
valid. JusUce White asked if he did not
realize that the penalty carried a disquali
fication of the accused, debarred him from
citizenship and forever put a stigma upon
him? Mr. Hoyt maintained that the stat
ute made the offense a misdemeanor.
Mr. Lehman closed the case In an hour's
argument for Senator Burton. He reviewed
the testimony with reference to Mr. Bur
ton's visits to the Postofflce department
and Insisted they Involved no possible Inter
est of the United States, and nothing In the
senator's acts were to the prejudice of the
United States. Mr. Lehman also maintained
that the charge of the lower court was un
fair to the defendant
FrohlbKlon In Indian Territory.
Rev. William H. Ketchum, director of the
bureau of Catholic Indian missions, and E.
M. Sweet, Jr., secretary of the Indian Ter
ritory Church federation called on the pres
ident today to enlist his Influence to have
incorporated in a statehood bill provisions
against the sale of Intoxicating liquors in
the territory. They told the president that
since 1832 the national and tribal govern
ments had maintained strict prohibitory
liquor laws in the territory, and experience
had confirmed the wisdom and necessity of
the prohibition. The president promised to
take the subject upor consideration and
to use his influence In behalf of the main
tenance of a good government In every re
spect in the proposed new state.

NISSEN DEAD, "oT". BEACH
Wreck of Foolklller Ko. 3 nnd Body
of Inventor .Found Near
Steve'nsvllle, Mtch.
STEVENSVILLE,' Mich., Dec. J.-Peter
Nlssen, who started across Lake Michigan
in his boat, "F00J filler No. 3," waa found
dead on the beach two and a half miles
west of here today,, ' Nlssen Is supposed to
have been washed ashore during the night.
His "Fool Killer" was on the beach about
twenty rods from the body and was con-
slderably damaged. A Ufo-preserver and
his overcoat were fastejnd to the basket
shaped car in the boat. The body was
brought to Stevensvllle, where it lies in the
town hall. The hands and face are frozen
and the features reflect his suffering. The
clothing on the body Was somewhat torn.
It is thought that Nlssen could not have
been dead a great while when the body
was found, as rigor mortis had not set in.
The body was found by Mrs. Collier, who
lives on a farm near the lake shore. Nis
sen's employer was notified as soon aa word
was received here that the body had been
found, and a coroner's Jury was Impaneled
and began an Inquest. Men have gone from
here to bring In the wrecked "Fool Killer
No. S." . .
It is almost certain that Nlssen practi
cally reached shore alive yesterday about
4 o'clock, after he had been out of Chicago
twenty-four hours. The 4 q1 Killer No. 3"
was then seen about 200 rods from shore off
Livingston, six miles south of Stevensvllle.
A heavy gale was blowing and It Is pre
sumed he waa unable to land and was
tossed about on the shore all night. Nls
sen was probably unconscious or so chilled
that he was unable to save himself when
the "Fool Killer" finally collapsed and he
was drowned. .
When the wrecked acquatlo balloon was
examined one of Nlssen's business cords
was found, on the back of which was a
note from the dead adventurer saying an
air hose upon which he depended to renew
his supplyof air had broken and that he
was doomed to die of suffocation
William Fuller, a farmer, saw the balloon
boat being driven toward shore about 4
p. m. yesterday, three miles south of the
place where Nlssen's body was found
today. When Fuller sighted It the eruft
had apparently not as yet been broken up
by the waves.
It Is believed here that Nlssen was alive
when the boat first touched the eastern
shore of the lake. His wrecked boat was
late today hauled Into Stevensvllle and a
coroner's Jury was Impanelled. The Inquest
was adjourned for further Investigation.

DENVER, Doc. 1. Arguments were made
In five of the contempt cases before the
supreme court today and at the conclusion
the court announced that decision would
be rendered Monday morning next.
Twelve more supreme court warrants
for democratic etectlon officers who served
In Denver were Issued today. Two arrests
were made this afternoon, both of the per
sons arrested, Max Shradsky and Max
81ssock, being released In $1,0W bonds. The
men are charged with contempt In refusing
to accord special supreme court watchers
the right conferred upon them by the su
preme court at the time of their appoint
ment.
. Warrants for Republlenns.
Attorneys representing the democratic
state organization also secured the Issu
ance of a batch of warrants for republic
ans In Huerfano county. The charge is
the same as In the Denver case, the al
leged contempt consisting of refusal to
allow special supreme court watchers to
enter the polling places designated In
Huerfano county.
Hearing in contempt ca-es will be re
sumed In the supreme court tomorrow.
Theer are about fifty cases still pending.
Only three witnesses for the defense were
heard today In the election cases pending
before United States Commissioner A. B
Capron.
The hearing was interrupted by the nec
essity for the presence of several of the
defendants in the supreme court, where
they stand charged with contempt.
The cases before the commissioner are
bnsed upon the charge that the defendants
prevented Adolph Welmer from voting In
precinct eight of the Fifth ward. Welmer
claims that his ballot was already marked
"socialist" when handed him and that
whea he Insisted on having a second ballot
he was thrown out of the polling place by
two of the defendants.
Defense In Welmer Cmmr.
Alderman Michael Mahoney, Charles
Kofsky and Edward O'Mallla, respectively
Judge and clerks of election, nil for the
defense, testified that Welmer did not dis
cover that the word "socialist" was on his
ballot until after It had been handed to
Kofsky, whose duty had been to tear off
the secend of the reference slips, and the
latter had returned It to him. The de
fendants added that a number of other
voters were waiting their turn at the time,
so that it was possible Welmer's ballot hnd
been handed to some other voter and placed
In the box, nnd that the ballot that was
returned to him was that of some other
voter. The witnesses for the prosecution

HILL ANSWERS SHAKESPEARE
Railroad Magnate Shows What's
n Kame When It Comes to
Taxation.
in
Here, Mr. Shakespeare, Is your answer:
"You see now why the B. & M. was
absorbed, in name as well as In fact, by
Uhe Chicago, Burlington & Qulncy, don't
you?" remarked a local real estate dealer
who hnd been reading the account of the
Injunction suit filed by the Union Pacific
and Burlington in the federal court to
prevent those roads paying their Just share
of taxes In this state. "You will observe
that the attorney for the Burlington makes
the remarkable point that In taxing Bur
lington property In Nebraska the authori
ties overlook the fact that 'we own $75.
000,000 worth of property outside of Ne
braska." Who Is this 'we'? Why, the
Burlington. You see, this very skillful
argument could not have been made If, a
few months ago Mr. Hill had not stopped
calling the lines in Nebraska the B. & M.
and gone to calling them the Burlington."
