PEORIA, 111., Oct. 12. - Ex-Prealdent Roosevelt came up from the south Into Illi nois today, denounced corrupt legislatures and commended work which the Roman Catholic church is doing. Leaving St. Louis tarly in the day he traveled across the southern end of Illinois speaking at sev eral place, on th way. In l'eorla he was the guest of the Knights of Columbus, to whom he made a speech at a dinner to night. It was Colonel Roosevelt's first pub lic utterance to Roman Catholics since the Vatican Incident last spring. II sulci he favored the broadest measure of religious toleration. in a brief speech to the crowd at the railway station Colonel Roosevelt made what waa construed as a r. ferenoe to the allegations of corrupting In the Illinois luaislatur.. Hardly hud he begun to speuk wnen a man In the crowd called out: Olv It to the Jarkpottera, Colonel.." The others in the crowd, to whom the expression had become a familiar one luce the confession of tho Illinois legis lature that they had shared In a corrup tion fund which was called the "jackpot" applauded. Colonel Roosevelt took It up, attacked the men Involvtd in the legislative scandal as vigorously a- lit did in his speech lust month at the Hamilton club banquet in Chicago, from which Senator Loiimer um excluded after the colonel hud refused to attend the dinner unless the invitation to the senator waa withdrawn.

Power of Prayer to Heal the Sick Still Live Issue If House of Bishops of Episcopal Church Approves it Strongly the Laymen May Recede. CINCINNATI, Oct. li-Although defeated In the house of deputies because the cler ical and lay delegates did not agree upon It, the proposa' to Include In the ritual of the church a form of prayer and unction for the sick, not as a sacrament In prepar ation for death, but as a means of healing. Is far from being dead, in the opinion of Its advocates. The report of the Joint committee on the subject Is still to be acted upon in the bouse of bishops and If It approves by a considerable majority it is quite likely the bouse of deputies would reconsider Its action. No subject that has arisen since the con vention began has aroused so much In terest among churchmen. The opinions ex pressed range from absolute faith In ac tual miracles through the power of God to unbelief in the power of anything but medical treatment to cure the sick. Tho fact that the so-called "Emanuel movement had its origin in the Protestant Episcopal church In Emanuel pariah, Bos ton, has had a deep Influence. Churchmen take the ground that expert medical advice Is the prime essential in all cases of illness, but that If faith In ulti mate cure can be Inspired in the patient, either through religious ministration or otherwise, the physician's work will be generally aided. Tho house of deputies today put It self on record by a unanimous vote as believing In the Bible as the word of God, thus making declaration that the statement to the contrary made in the course of debate last Satur day by the Rev. A. A. Morrison of Port land, Ore., did not represent the sentiment of the church. Senator Dolliver is Seriously 111 Iowa Statesman Has Not Taken a Vacation in Thirty-Five Years.

Complete quiet has been or dered by tha attending physician, who be lieves If his orders are carried out the patient will be up in two weeks. Mrs. Dol liver and nurses attending the senator say he has been working "on his nerve" since August 1L Said Mrs. Dolliver today: "Shortly after our arrival home from Washington he felt much bettor,- and at the time the stte convention was In fairly good, health. Has been paying mors attention to matters of the brain than to his stomach. As he has not bad a vacation in thirty-five years, as near as I can ascertain, 1 believe he is entitled to one." ,The senator Is reported resting easily today, with no dangerous symptoms.

To the Edi tor of The Bee: In your paper of this day you gave cpace to an Interview pre pared by G. M. Hitchcock, candidate for United States senator. That Interview in1 In the nature of a reply to my public charge, which I again specifically make, that G. M. Hitchcock borrowed large sums of money from Joseph S. Bartley during the time when Mr. Bartley was treasurer of the state of Nebraska, which money has never been returned to the state trtasury nor to the pocket of Joseph Bart ley but that all of said money (less about 15 per cent) Is now In the possession of G. M Hitchcock. Ii stead of putting the money back where it belongs, and Instead of withdrawing from the senatorial race, as Mr. Hitch cock once compelled a republican candi date who had borrowed money from Stale Treasurer Lai th y to do. Mr. Hitchcock niukes a pi rtnnul attack upon me, perhaps ieieby necking to minimize the torce of m leil'ius charge agalni-t him. I shall .'.ot rtply in kind. The people of Nebraska are r.ut Interested in my private life, nor in the private nffV.ts of Mr. Hitchcock. But the peopio of the stale are very much lrti-r .sled in every detail connected with ire uisaiipenram e uf taie money from the alate treasury, and they are interested as t.) the exuet amount which Mr. Hitchcock icciiied from tne slate treasurer.

HA GERMAN OPENS ROADS CASS Attorney Arauea that It Costs More to Carry on State Than Interstate Baslness Ladd Defends Laws. WASHINGTON. Oct. 12. - Stubbornly contesting every point, attorneys for the state of Missouri and the railroads therein today began argument before the supreme court of the Fnlted States as to the valid ity of the 2-cent passenger rate and maxi mum freight rate laws of that state passed In 1907. So Important did the court consider the case that it extended the time for argument so as to Include practically all of the court's time tomorrow. It Is claimed by counsel In the case that the Issues In controversy will affect state legislation regarding railroads In nearly every state of the union. The case Includes questions of jurisdiction of federal courts over state legislation in regard to rail roads and the proper basis of arriving at the remuneration guaranteed tbe railroads under the federal legislation. The circuit court for the western district of Missouri held that rates under the laws were un remuneratlve and enjoined their enforce ment. Haaerman Talks for Railroads. The arguments were opened by Frank Hagerman for the Chicago, Burlington & Qulncy Railroad company. In the time allotted to him today, he attempted to convince the Justices that the court below had used the proper basis In arriving at the remuneration allowed the railroads under the laws In question. He maintained that 'the valuation of the property devoted to state business as distinguished from In terstate business was in the same ratio that earnings from the carriage of state freight and state pasengers bore to the earnings from interstate business In the state. He argued that it cost more to carry on state than Interstate business. Shortly before court adjourned Stanford B. Ladd addressed the court In defense of the laws, lie attacked the jurisdiction Over the questions at Issue.

DISCLAIMS INTENT TO MONOPOLIZE Asserts tbe Objwv Vulon Pacific Aulrlnar Southern Puetflo ktoek Was to Secure Entrance to San Francisco. 8T. PAUL, Minn.. Oct. 12. Judge P. F. Lunne ot tu Francisco concluded his ar gument before the United ritutes olrcult court on behalf of Hie Union I'acific rail way in the suit of the government against the Union Faciflc and Southern I'acific and other railroads to dissolve the so-called Union i'acific merger. Judge Lunne was followed by N. H. Loomla, general solicitor of the Union Pa cific. Mr. Loo n. Is argued on the proposi tion that the object of acquiring an inter est In the Southern Pacific was not to sup press competition or to obtain a monopoly, but to secure the Union Pacific an entry Into Sun Francisco; that the rival interests were liable to secure the Central Pacific and bottle up the Union Pacific to Ogden; that the possession of the Central Pacific was essential to the existence of the Union i'acific as a transcontinental line and that the consolidation of the-two lines was con templated by congress at the time the Pa cific railroad acts were passed. The rail road arguments will be concluded this aft ernoon. Former Senator Spooner will fol low Mr. Loomls. Frank B. Kellogg will reply to the arguments of defendants to morrow and close the case. Judga Dunne treated the subject in Its relation to Atlantic seaboard business, to tonnage originating east of the Missouri and in the southwest, and from a mass of slatistics he drew the conclusion that the Portland route, except for common points, was an impossible and wholly Illogical route. "The bulk of the Asiatic business, as moved through the port of Portland was not great," he said. "luch as moved eastward over the Union Pacific was a mere incident to the local traffic out bound for the orient." He said that the Union Pacific line had been a failure in the hands of sevral managements and was always operated at a I C os. Shaking of the purchase of the Southern Pacific of stock In the Northern Pacific and Santa Fe, Judge Dunne made the only distinctive allusion In the trial to the Hill Harriman fight of a few years ago. "I am not here to east aspersions upon Mr. Hill," he said. "I have no doubt that with the lapse of time, and the dcuth of one, the old bitterness Is stilled, hut at the time to which I refer it was ken and poignant. "It was only to give a color to this case that these two roads wore brought In at all. The Union Pacific had not wtinled the Northern Pacific or the Burl nton. There wan competition In tho territory covered by the Union Pacific, but It was not unfair nor discriminating." Now is your op portunity to get a nice room. Ak-Sar-Den crush la over.
