CHURCH FAILS TO REACH POOR
Beoretary Bhaw Addresses Conference of
Lay Methodists at Washington.
METHOD OF CATHOLICS IS COMMENDED
They Neither Abuse the Poor Nor
I'atronlxc the nicli Contest
for I.oy neprescnta- (
tlon.
ASHINGTON, March 31. The lay mem
bers of the Baltimore conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church today held an
independent meeting for the discussion of
a resolution providing for equal representa
tion for themselves In annual conferences.
... The laymen who spoke on the subject an
j nounced their purpose of waging active
. warfare throughout the country for the
, change prior tq the general conference In
I 1908. '
t At the afternoon meeting Secretary Shaw
delivered an address on the manner of
dealing with the poor in churclirs. He
said in cart:
Not long ago a Methodist minister asked
me, "Why Is it thut the Catholic church
is more successful in reaching the poor
than we?" 1 replied, "That is easy. '1 hey
never talk about It. They draw no dis
tinctions. They never abuse the one nor
patronize the other." The Methodist church
W!i designed for the people; rich people
and poor people; educated people and un
educated people; cultured and uncultured.
And 1 do iift believe it was ever the design
of God that it should be the church if
one to the exclusion of the others. In
my Judgment, the only way to keep it the
church of all Is to stop drawing distinc
tions between the suns of men. I l'lieve
there is more prejudice on the part of
those whom the world calls poor against
those whom the world call rich then vice
versa. Hut 1 believe this prejudice is
heightened bv continually talking about
it and If this were a popular audience as
distinguished from a gathering of church
workers 1 would not refer to the subject.

SOMEBODY DIDJHOOT THERE
Police Investigation Locates Bullet
Holes to Support 'Woman's
Story.
Additional facts learned by the police seem
to Indicate that the shooting that took
place near the Tenth street viaduct was of
a more serious character than at first be
lieved. The repeated assertion of the
woman In the case, Clara Bly, that John
Danlelson fired a revolver at her, narrowly
missing her head, Is In some degree con
firmed by the discovery of a bullet hole In
the wall opposite the door and In direct
line with the point where the woman says
Danlelson was standing. She was taken to
the house by the police that she might
procure her clothing, and she then circum
stantially described the shooting.
It was also disclosed that at the time the
shots were fired there was a man in the
room with the woman, and as nearly as
can be determined his name is William A.
O'Conncrs, occupation and residence un
known. The woman now asserts that two
shots were fired into the room, one after
she ran down the stairwty to the cellar.
The third shot which she says was fired
was on the outside of the house. At the
time this shot was fired someone was heard
to shout: "I want you to get out of this."
Several reports, that cannot be verified,
are that a man was seen running west
along Tenth street after the third shot
was tired, holding his hand and apparently
in pain. lie evidently was the man who
was told to get out of the Bly woman's
house. This man, If he was O'C'onners,
will be brought forward today, when the
Bly woman and Danlelson will be given a
hearing. Officer Baldwin says he knows
wheie the man can be found.

(From a Stuff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, March 31. (Special Telegram.)
At a meeting of employes of the house
tonight resolutions were adopted condemn
ing the action of the house In presenting
to Speaker House the speaker's chair, which
he has occupied this winter. An effort will
lie made tomorrow to have resolutions in
troduced In order to make them a part of
the house records. The resolutions follow;
Whereas, The Hon. Ororgo L. Rouse,
speaker ot the house of rcpresentai ives,
lias earnestly and consistently adhered to
the policy of economy throughout the pres
ent session, and,
W hereas. The house employes have been
taught the great principle of economy upon
so many occasions this winter, that It has
become second nature to said employes
to conserve the Interests and guard the
properties of this commonwealth, especially
on paydays, when their stipends were re
duced lelow the amounts allowed by the
house, and for reasons which the seaker
alone seems capable of understanding, and.
Whereas. The members of the house of
representatives have so far forgotten the
speaker's teachings as to present him with
the chair which he has so often occupied
while meditating upon some Intricate plan
to deprive the employes of their Just com
pensation, and,
Whereas, We would relieve the speaker's
tender conscience of the awful thought
that he has taken advantage of the error of
the house In presenting him with state
property in. defiance of the constitution ami
in defiance also of the wishes and Interests
of the taxpayers of Nebraska, all of whom
tire special wards of the speaker, and who
would be horror-stricken should any article
of state property attach itself to the speak
er's person when he departs for home;
therefore be it,
Resolved, by the house employes and
other true, loyal and consistent reformers.
That we will most strenuously uphold the
action of the speaker, who Indignantly de
clines to accept this unwarranted and Il
legal gift: and be it further
Resolved, That we hereby assert our con
demnation of the action of the house In Its
bare-faced attempt to lead the speaker
away from the path of virtue which he has
so often pointed out to others; and he It
further
Resolved. That Hon. A. Oalusha, secre
tary of the state and legal guardian of
slate properties, is hereby earnestly re
quested to keep a vigilant eye upon this
particular piece of furniture upon njl oc
casions when a train Is about to depart for
Grand Island, for fear pome evil disposed
person might seek to cbmpromlse the
speaker bv shipping said chair to his home
address, where it Is possible that It might
be overlooked and be Introduced into his
household, to the everlasting disgrace of
the head thereof; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of these resolutions
be mailed to the speaker and the secretary
of the state, and that they be printed In
at least one dally newspaper, in order that
the people of Nebraska may know that we
ore loyally supporting the speaker in the
economy program mapped out by him at
the commencement of this session; and be
It further
Resolved, That should the rpeaker In a
fit of mental aberration accept such chair,
and should the proper and lawful custodian
negligently allow It to depart from the
state house and perhaps Journey Into the
Interior of Hall county, the secretary of
this- meeting Is hereby instructed to In
augurate such legal procedure as will in
sure Its prompt return, the expense of
which proceedings he is authorized to de

that purpose.
JUDGE LOBINGIER'S NEW COURT
Festivities Attend the Openlnsr of the

The Manila American (Manila, P. I.) of
February 21, publishes a two-column ac
count of the opening of the new provincial
court room at Tacloban, on February 1, at
which function Judge C. S. Lobingler, form
erly of Omaha, presided. The hall had
been tastefully decorated under the super
vision of a committee consisting of the
Abogados Romauldrz and Kelly, and the
walls were adorned with portraits of Wash
ington, Rizal, John Marshall and Arellano,
nil executed by a Tacloban artist. A ban
quet and numerous toasts and responses
were the features of the event, being both
In American and Spanish, b number of
prominent Filipinos participating. Judge
Lobingler, as toastmaster, then Introduced
General Allen us the lnaugurator of civil
government In the province of Leyte, of
which Tacloban is the capital.
Almost the entire week was devoted to
festivities of varied character and were
brought to a close on the evening of Febru
ary 4 with a reception given to Judge Lob
ingler by the bar of Leyte in honor of his
appointment ns Judge of the Twelfth dis

dress indicates that the genial Judge has
already become proficient in the. Spanish
tongue, and also that he has at the same

FLAVOR OF THE BIG SALMON
Royal Chinook Is Not Appreciated In
Missouri Valley as on
the Const.
Frank H. Sanborn, representing the San-born-Cuttlng
company of Astoria, Ore., sal
mon packers, is at the Her Grand. He says
that tho outlook for the salmon industry
on tho Columbia river the coming season,
which opens April 15, Is considered excel
lent. In speaking of the salmon trade, ho
said It Is a fact peculiar to the trade, that
there is not much demand In this middle
country along tho Missouri tiver and
further south, for those brands of salmon
which contain the genuine royal Chinook
fish and which have the peculiar flavor
that so many desire and which has made
that kind of salmon so famous. Other
kinds of salmon cost about the same price,
but the flesh Is of a different color, being
red, while that of the royal chlnook is cf a
pink color.
"Those who are familiar with the different
qualities of tho salmon," said Mr. Sanborn,
"can distinguish the difference In a moment
and on the cost where, of course, very little
canned fish Is eold to the local trade, as
the consumer wants the fresh fish, they in
sist on the royal chlnook: and these samo
people when they are In tho eastern coun
try and are served with salmon other than
their favorite, note the difference.
"The leading event on the northwest
coast," continued Mr. Sanborn, "Is the ex
position to be held at Portland. A beauti
ful site hes been selected and the buildings
are nearlng completion, it will be a much
more pretentious exhibition than many may
think, and will not be a mere Imitation of
the great expositions held elsewhere, 1 ut
will have many unique and exceedingly at
tractive features."

STANLEY FRANCIS GOES TO JAIL
Director of the Storey Cotton Com
pany Is Remanded for
Trial.
PHILADELPHIA, March 31.-On the tes
timony of two former employes of the de
funct Storey Cotton company Stanley Fran
cis, accused of being one of the promoters
and directors of the concern, was today
remanded for trial by United States Com
missioner Craig, with bail fixed at SaO.OOn.
The original charge against Francis was
using the malls for fraudulent purposes
and he was arrested nt the instigation of
the postal authorities. The two Important
witnesses against the accused man were
Miss Morgana Hope, stenographer, and
Miss Gertrude Sundhelm, a bookkeeper,
who gave testimony which the commis
sioner held to be sufficient to convince
him that the defendant was party to a con
spiracy to defraud.
James R. Clark, an expert accountant
employed by counsel for Senator Bradley
of Camden, receiver of the Storey com
pany, also testified concerning his examina
tion of the company's books. He based his
testimony on his examination of the cash
book, which, he snld, contained an entry
of fc.'no,301 as rerelpts from cotton Invest
ments which was the only Indication In
the book of any Investments by the com
pany. A statement of the concern's busi
ness showing assets of $700,000 was produced
by United States District Attorney Thomp
son and after examining It the witness
said there was nothing on the cash book
to show such assets. The book did show,
however, that the company had lost J1.17S,
417, but there was no indication that this
sum was lost in cotton transactions.
Miss Hope testified that Francis attended
many of tho meetings of the directors of
the company. Others who attended the
meetings,' she said, were Messrs. Storey,
Quinlan and Harper. The last named Is
Frank C. Marrlen, also known as "Judge"
Franklin Stone. Miss Hope said that Fran
cis wrote many, of the circulars sent out
by the company. Cross examined, Miss
Hope said other members of the company
had told her that Francis was the adver
tising manager, though Francis himself
had never so informed her. She said also
that she once received Instructions from
Francis as to what disposition to make
of a check that came through the malls.
Miss Sundhelm said that the defendant
was present at nearly all the directors'
meetings.

The Far Northwest has the iron and lumber of Michigan, the fruit of
Missouri, the hops of New York, the wool of Ohio, the wheat of Minnesota, the fish
eries of New England, the minerals of the Kockies all the occupations of the crowded
East. The development of the Northwest is furnishing an opening for all classes of
labor, the farmer, the commercial and professional man and the investor. The in
dustrial expansion of the East will be repeated in the Northwest and
Puget Sound country. '
Japan buys from abroad today exports valued at $7.00 per Japanese
inhabitant as compared with $1.00 a few years ago. If our exports to China amounted
to only $1.00 per Chinese inhabitant, we would sell them $400,000,000 worth of
merchandise annually. Japan and China are bound to become general consumers of
our Northwest foodstuffs and products this means a stability in the price of wheat
that alone insures an increasing value of lands throughout the Northwest.
Seek your fortunes in the Northwest; very low one-way colonist
and settlers' rates will be made into that region daily until May 15.
