INDEPENDENCE. Mo., April 11. Spe
cial Telegram.) At the opening of the bus
iness session of the annusl conference of
the Reorganised Church of Jesus Christ of
letter Day Saints, In seslon In this city,
President Joseph Smith was In the chair,
where he remained througout the entire
business session, which lasted until 5
o'clock.
The attention of the conference was de
voted very largely to routine business,
listening to various reports from quorums.
A little of the sensations! was Interjected
Into the conference today by a motion
made by Elder Jamee E. Yates of Okla
homa and seconded by Harry C. French
of Columbus. O, The resolutions were In
effect that the church should establish a
standard of wealth for nil members of
the church, and the resolution attempted
to fix this standard at what Is termed the
ministerial basis of allowance. The minis
terial basis Is "the one on which the min
istry of the church Is sustained, the al
lowance of SIS per month for the wife of
the missionary, and ft for each child or
dependent In the family. The resolution of
Elder Tates was that this standard, ' with
capital sufficient to guarantee this amount
of Income should be that of each member
of the church, and that all properly
owned by a member of the church yield
ing a greater Income than this should be
called surplus and - turned over to the
bishop of the church as a consecration
to be used for church purposes. The In
tent of the motion Is to establish the
equality which Is so frequently spoken
of In the books of the church.
Some merriment was manifested In the
Introduction cf the resolution, but the
the aertousnesa of two or three speakers
who supported the, resolution , Indicated
that tt Is a subject of no little Importance
to the conference. The resolutions were
referred to the presiding bishopric, with
a request that the bishopric report to the
conference.
An attempt was made by K. E. Long
f Lamonl. Ia.. to introduce another reso
lution prohibiting remarriage of divorced
people. The motion, however. was
quickly tabled.

quorum of twelve outlining procedure nee
ssary to be had In the case of any at

who had been silenced by a superior offi

KEYSTONE STATE PRIMARIES
Battle On Today for Legislative Nom
inees and Delegates.
FIRST TEST OF NEW UNIFORM LAW
Senator Knox Will Be Endorsed by
Republicans, bat Democrats Are
Uncertain Aboot Bryan
Hard Fight.
PHILADELPHIA, April U.-The first
test of the uniform primaries act which
was passed by the legislature In special
session as a result of the political upheaval
In Pennsylvania more than two years ago,
will be had this afternoon, . when all the
political parties in the state will elect dele
gates to their respective national and stats
conventions and nominate candidates tor
congress, state senate, assembly. Judges
and minor offices In the sixty-seven coun
ties of the state. The polls will open at
S p. m. and close at t p. m.
' in addition to the thousands of nomina
tions filed with the commisloners In all
the counties, more than 3,000 names of
candidates for nstlonal delegate, congresr
and legislature were filed with the secre
tary of the commonwealth. The election
machinery of the state will be taxed to
the limit. The work of fondling the elec
tion and compiling returns Is expected to
be heavier than that of any election ever
held in Pennsylvania.
The republican and democratic parties
will each elect sixty-four delegates to the
state convention.- In addition they will
elect delegates to the state conventions,
each of which will select four delegstes-at-large
and nominate a candidate for Judge
of the stste superior court. Thirty-two
candidates for congress, twenty-five candi
dates for' the state senate and 307 candi
dates for membership In the lower house
of the legislature will also be selected to
dsy by each party from among the thou
sands whose names have been placed on
the primary ballots. x
KaoX Have Delegation.
There Is no contest within the republican
party over Pennsylvania's preference for
the presidential nomination. The last state
convention unanimously endorsed United
States Senator Knox, and the present Indi
cations are that the state convention to be
held at Harrlsburg April la will reaffirm
the action of last yesr's state convention
and that Pennsylvania's sixty-eight votes
In the national convention will be cast for
Senator Knox.
In the democratic party, however, there
Is some show of a contest over the ques
tion whether the national delegation shall
go to Denver unfettered or be instructed
for William J. Bryan. Colonel Jamea M.
Guffey of Pittsburg, the democratic na
tional committeeman from Pennsylvania,
Is credited with favoring an tinlnatructed
delegation, while there sre many in the
democratic organization who want the
state convention, which meets at Harrls
burg on Msy 20, to Indorse the Nebraskan.
But the great contest In the state which
begins today and which will be carried on
with vigor until the November election Is
thst for members of both houses of the
legislature, which will choose a United
States senator to succeed Senator Penrose,
whose term expires next March. He Is a
candidate for re-election and independent
republican leaders have announced thst
they will oppose his return to the senate.
Loral Option, With Seaatorablp.
Local option Is playing a prominent part
In the campaign and promises to over
shadow every other issue. Many organisa
tions throughout the state favoring either
the abolition or restriction ef the liquor
trsffic are carrying on a spirited campaign
for the nomination and election of mem
bers to the legislature who favor local
option.
The following members of congress will
be renominsted by their respective parties,
they having little or no opposition:
Republicans H. H. Blnghsm. Joel Cook
J. Hampton Moore. R. o. Moon, W w'
Foulkrod and Oeorge D. McCreary, all of
Philadelphia: T. 8. Butler of Westchester
I. P. Wanger of Norristown, B. K. Focht

Democrats T. D. Nicholls of Scrsnton. J

Among those who are certain of election
as national delegates Is United States Sena
tor Penrose. He Is unopposed for delegate
to the republican national convention from

(From a Staff Correspondent s
LINCOLN. April ir.-(8peclal.)-Express
companies this morning mad vigorous ob
jection to filing with the State Railway
commission reports of the business done at
the various stations in Nebraska. The rail
way commission demanded of these com
panies that they furnish station reports,
the same as those filed by the railroads.
Objection was made to this demand by 3.
H. Butler, representing the Adams Express
company. ' O. P. Patterson of the Pacific
and P. D. Adams of the American Express
company. Mr. Butler who acted as chief
spokesman for the corporations, told the
commission his 'company would not object
to furnishing a yearly report showing the
amount of business done In Nebraska, but
he could not see any good reason for a de
mand for a monthly statement of the busi
ness done at each station.
The report asked for Includes the amount
of business done at each station and the
amount of expense of running each sta
tion; both state and Interstate business.
Agents of railroads furnish these monthly
reports, first sending the reports to the
headquarters of the road, from whence
they are transmitted to the commission.
This Is what the commission insisted on the
express companies doing and the argument
of the three superintendents this morning
failed to change the commission and the
reports will be made, or the matter will
be taken to the courts. The order isucd
agents of the express companies provides
that the reports shall be made within ten
days of the last day of the month.

Two geek Pardons,
Andrew E. Oorman and Elmer E. Hewett,
aervlng eighteen months In the peniten
tiary for breaking and entering, have asked
the governor to set a date for a hearing
at which they desire to show cause why
their sentences should be ' commuted to
one year. (Last August, so the men say
In their statement filed with the governor,
they were soldiers stationed at Fort Crook.
They left the fort to go to South Omaha
and on the way stopped at a house and
drank sufficient wine to form a skim over
their eyes. In this ccndltlon they left the
wine house and there came over them a
great longing for a drink of good, pure,
cold water; water Just out of a good living
well drawn in an old oaken bucket or even
a tin bucket; Just so it was water and
they could hear the splash as It spilled
from the bucket. There was no water In
sight, but ahead of them was a house and
there they called to get relief. No one
was at home and so the boys "playfully"
smashed a window and entered. When
they came out they had In their possession
some clothing and on the front porch they
annexed to their find some tools. With
these as trophies of the day's holiday they
again started for the ort. But neighbors
had witnessed the smashing of the win
dow and the neighbors didn't know the
whyfore, so the two soldiers were taken
In charge and lodged In Jail and then upon
pleading guilty and falling to tell their
stories they were hustled to prison to re
main eighteen months.
. In the meantime they said they had been
set down In the army records as deserters,
but they are Willing to take their chances
on getting out of that scrape If the gov
ernor will get them out of the Nebraska
prlaon. The date of the hearing will be
set later.
State Andltor Restrained.
The Western Fire Insurance company ob
tained a restraining order from the district
court this afternoon to restrain Auditor
Searle from revoking the license Issued to
B. S. Smith, an agent of the company. A
complaint was filed with the auditor
against Smith by the Germsn Mutual of
Omaha In which It was alleged Smith had
misrepresented that company. A demand
waa made that his license as an agent be
revoked. The hearing was had several
days sgo and today the restraining order
was Issued.
Holt to Onst Gas Company.
Suit was filed In the district court this
afternoon by County Attorney Tyrrell for
City Attorney Stewart to oust the Lincoln
Gas and Electric Light company from do
ing business here. The suit Is said to be
the outcome of the fight for dollar gas- in

ness here.
Arbor Day Proclamation.
Governor 8heldon hss Issued the follow
ing Arbor day proclamation:
In compliance with law and In accord
ance with the custom of designating one
day In the apring time for the purpose of
planting trees, shrubs, vines and flowering
plants, 1. George Uwion Sheldon, governor
of the state of Nebrasks. do hereby pro
claim Wednesday, April 22, 1908. as Arbor
day.
The national observance of Arbor day Is
a monument to the memory of J. Sterling
Morton, our esteemed fellow citlsen. The
good that has come therefrom will be an
everlasting benefit to our great country.
It la peculiarly fitting and appropriate
thst Arbor day be observed by the schools,
colleges and universities with ceremonies
in keeping with the Importance of the oc
casion. It it not be forgotten to Impress
upon the minds of the growing, generation
the value of forestry snd plant culture
that they mav have a better appreciation
of the good that will come therefrom.
The beauty of our state attracts and
charms the trsveler. Desolate places, seem
ingly forgotten by the usual lavish hand
of nature, have been tranaformed by the
handiwork of man into beautiful homes.
This work of reclamation by the pioneers
snd builders of our state is a grander em
blem of remembrance than polished shafts
of msrbla snd granite erected by others
o'er their graves. Around these living
monuments of green has grown the Ivy of
fond remembrance shout whirh tt delights
to cling, appreciated now and to be enjoyed
by future generations.
Everv tree plsnted and nurtured and
every fragrant rose that blooms adds to the
resource snd charm of life. The beauty of
our streets and parka and of oi - country
homes has promoted culture and refinement
among our people. The propagation of trees
and flowering plsnts brings hsppiness into
the every day life, a rich reward for little
effort.
It Is therefore urgently recommended that
the people of our state properly observe
Arbor day. Iet us remember lo adorn and
beautify our parks snd nubile places and
not forget our homes snd resting places of
our beloved ones in the white cities of the
dead.
