The committee v.ai lvert Charta of all of the books and pM-eis relating to the matter. Miss Meredith a nl Secretary Wilson were questioned by the committee. The statement of Miss Meredith concerning the JUo.OoO deficit at first discovered in the books of ex-Secretary Pmrce was investigated. Mr. Wilson explained this yesterday by pointing out that the rules of the organization required that the secretary should not have in his issesFion more than JÖ.Ooo at a time. At that time Pearce had $4,f in his possession and a new fund was created and the J.m.ikK) credit was idaced on another bank book. Mr. "Wilson paid that as soon as he found the experts were at a loss as to what became of the SiA'm. he showed them the other bank book, giving credit for the amount in the name of the executive board and that the figures then balanced. Ed Smith, of the Jolict Republican, emphatically denied that he told Mi?s Meredith that Pearce had make a "rake-off" of J1.'h a year, or that his "rake-off" must have been 25 per cent, on printing matter. Jle said he asked to bid for the printing, and on one kind of books he secured the contract for one-fourth less than I'earce paid. His testimony was taken by the committee. Mr. Wilson said neither he nor any one else had any way of knowing whether or not Pearee got a "rake-off," as neither the printer nor i'earce would state If such had been the case. President Mitchell comjared the price paid by Pearce with the price of other houses, and found them to be practically the same. Members of the committee refused to make any statement last night, but it is understood that the resolution presented by W. D. Ryan, of Illinois, which was voted down by. the convention to allow a committee to Ije appointed to make an Investigation, will be modified with refeience to Miss Meredith, although, its nature may tot ! changed.

ALL WILL OBEY THE LAW

RAILWAYS AM) PA( KIMi-IIOl SI. INTEREST m; agreement. Compact That Will Remilt In Maintenance of Hate mid Possibly Aert Prosekution. CHICAGO, Jan. 22. Presidents of Western railroads and all the big packing-house interests west of Chicago to the Missouri river have joined hands with a view of assisting each other to obey the provisions of the interstate-commerce law. The alliance was completed at a meeting held here today, at which were present high officials representing all of tho interests Involved, and it is expected that the action taken will result In an absolute maintenance of freight rates on packing-house products and dressed beef from the Missouri river to the Atlantic seaboard. The two conferences held between the packing-house people and the railroad presidents followed an assurance received from the Interstate-commerce Commission that action of this character would result In the commission's ceasing its effort to punish the packers for violations of the law. As a condition precedent to dropping the threatened prosecution the commission insisted that the secret rates that are being made on packing-house products and dressed betf be published and that the published rates be maintained absolutely. The agreement provides that the rates that are actually being made shall be published; that the railroads shall upon no pretense grant lower than published rates; that the packing-house representatives shall cease their efforts to secure cut rates. For the railroads, the presidents have agreed to issue orders forbidding traffic officials to grant a cut rate upon penalty of dismissal. For the packing house Interests, it has been agreed that their traffic men shall cease "shopping" the output of the packing: houses, or hawking them among railroad. with a view to obtaining concessions. The compact is of tho strongest possible character, and if it is kept the day of cut rates upon the commodities which have caused the greatest demoralization In the traffic world will be a thing of the past. The following packing houses signed the agreement: Armour & Co.. Swift & Co.. Nelson Morris & Co., the G. II. Hammond Company, the Cudahy Interest, Swarzchild fc Sulzburger, Anglo-American Provision Company. Omaha Packing Company and Ruddy Bros. The roads party to the agreement are: Santa Fe. Rock Island. Burlington. St. Paul, Northwestern, Great Western. Alton, Illinois Central. Wabash, Missouri Pacific, 'Frisco and Omaha & St. Louis. It is understood that the Harrlman and Hill people will not come to Chicago for Friday's investigation into the effects of the community of interests upon traffic. Mr. Hill and Mr. Harrlman have obtained legal advice that a semi-judicial body like the commission cannot compel testimony relative to a matter which is pending in the courts. The legality of the organization of the Northern Securities Company is at present before the United States Supreme Court. The commerce commission will reach Chicago to-morrow morning. What its programme will be is a matter of conjecture. MILITARY CLUB APPROVED. Action of the nt!onnI Gnnrds Aoeintlon A Call on the President. "WASHINGTON, Jan. 23. The National Guards Association of the United States, whose convention here is being attended by the adjutants general of most of the States, to-day adopted a resolution approving: the establishment of a national "military club" in this city, its membership to comprise those who served honorably In the army and navy in the civil and Spanish wars, members of militia and naval guards of the States, military and naval cadets, civil and military officers of the United States, States and Territories and others. The objects are' to promote national guard interests and provide a club rendezvous for those eligible. The adjutants general called on President Roosevelt, Secretary Root and General Miles. Secretary Root improved the opportunity to express his hearty sympathy with the movement in which they are engaged. The secretary said the study and thought which he had been required to give to military affairs had led him to the conviction that it was of the greatest importance to this country that the National Guard should be maintained, promoted and perfected as a necessary school for citizen soldiery. The gulf between the National Guard and the regular army should be cloel up entirely and there should be harmonious co-operation between the two organizations in bringing about a condition of affairs which would make the country always ready with an eftlcient volunteer force to act as an auxiliary to the regular army. Secretary Root said the time is now ripe for securing legislative measures which will be of great advantage in perfecting the obsolete militia system of 17i2. He congratulated the officers of the convention on the good temper, spirit and interest with which they had taken up the subject of Improving the militia system and on the progress already made in that direction. and expressed the hope that Congress would consider the subject in the same commendable gplrit. The followinis: executive committee, to serve during the ensuing year, was an nounced: Col. E. E. Rrltton, New York, chairman: Gen. George II. Harries. Iitriet of Columbia; Gen. James Drain, Washington State; Gen. J. C. R. Foster, Florida, and Gen. George F. Gardner, Colorado. Col. E. J. Dimmick, of Chicago, was named as assistant secretary. WISHES TO DEFEND HIMSELF. Alleged Heretic Pearson Mny Ask n Church Pup er for Spnce. CHICAGO, Jan. 22. Professor Charles W. Pearson is ready to resign from the faculty of Northwestern University if an investigation shows that he stepped over the limits of propriety in questioning the Infallibility of the Bible. However, the professor will ask the privilege of defending his action, and will make a request of a church paper for space in which to make a statement. If it is refused he will seek other means for giving publicity to his reasons. On the other hand, the university officials are making many attempts to have the matter dropped. "I do not think that the investigators agree with my opinions," said Professor Pearson. "I simply ask that I be permitted to give my views upon the Bible." Professor Pearson says ho has nothing to retract, and has written the paper to stand until he is convinced he is wrong, and is willing to listen to any argument that may be offered to him. He has not been summoned before the investigating committee, but awaits its bidding and will answer all questions asked. He says he has not assured the committee he would give any explanation of his article, lie said that lie was pleased with the selection of the committee. He seemed to have every conlldence that they would arrive at a Just verdict. llnrely Rescued from Fire. CLEVELAND. Jan. 22. A tire that destroyed the Jackson block, Nos. 2M2 to 210.

Keene's Polo Ponies Landed. NEW YORK, Jan. 22. Twenty-four polo ponies have been landed from the Atlantic transport liner Minneapolis at Tilbury j docks, says a dispatch to the Herald from ! Lomlon. These ponies are an advanceguard of an American invasion, which will reach its culminating point when Mr. Foxhall Keene and his associate players meet the British polo cracks in a contest for international honors at Hurlingham this spring. The ponies have been sent on to Mr. Keene s place at Melton Mowbray, where they will remain until the American players arrive. Lynch' "Work nt Xotre Dame. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SOUTH BEND, Ind., Jan. 22. Robert E. Lynch, the young Chicagoan chosen to captain Notre Dame's baseball team this year, is a junior in the classical course, and has been a member of the Notre Dame 'var sity for the past three years. He is one of the fastest intielders Notre Dame ever had. and last year was chosen shortstop on the All-uestern team. It Is now certain that Lynch will be called on to take entire charge of the team this year, acting as both captain and coach, and no profession al coach will be engaged.

Their Basketball Teams Will Meet on Snttirduy Night. Although the Butler basketball five were badly disappointed by their defeat Saturday night they are practicing with renewed vigor this week for their most important game of the season, to be played Saturday night. On that night Butler will meet Purdue at the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium. Purdue now holds the inter-collegiate championship of basketball In Indiana, so the game will be a battle for State honors. Last year -Purdue defeated Butler in the gymnasium at Lafayette. This year the advantage will be with Butler and the team hopes to retrieve last year's defeat. Purdue has not played any college Karnes as yet this year, but the team took a Southern . trip holiday week, playing about ten games. Their team this season is the same as last year, with the exception of on$ man. As Purdue will play several games in Indianapolis this season, the game Saturday night will afford an excellent opportunity for those interested in baskefrjall to estimate the strength of the Purdue five. Last year Purdue did not lose a single game. This year she will make a strong light for the State championship. The Butler team is showing great improvement lately, and as soon as they can obtain endurance, will make a prominent rival for State honors. The team is practicing unusually hard every evening in the gymnasium. Last night a practice game was played with the Manual Training School team, and the team showed what it can do on a familiar lloor. The SI. T. H. S. was defeated by a score of 40 to 17. Both teams played fast and rough. Huggins and Murray played especially brilliant ball. The line-up was: Training School. E. Minor , Maxwell Kaylor Butler. Position.

Martin Duffy, of Chicago, was given the decision over Art Simms, of Akron, O., by Referee Siler tonight at the close of a sp.endld fifteenround fight before the Twentieth Century Athletic Club.

Duffy, in the ninth round, after a hard left to the jaw and a right over the heart, and Simms. in the thirteenth, when Duffy alternated his left and right several times on Art's head. Duffy did more leading throughout, however, and sent his left straight to Simms's jaw almost at will. It is the second time Duffy has secured the decision over Simms. .Vine Hard Rounds.

FIELD TRIALS OF DOGS. United States Derby Completed and Mar Hen (ilven First 1'rlie. GRAND JUNCTION, Tenn., Jan. 22. The L'nited States derby was continued and finished to-day, but too late to permit the starting of the all-age stake In the United States field trials. Charity and Pretty Sing were first drawn. Charity was the btt in range. Ectasy Rod was drawn to run alone, but the pointer dog Brimstone was put down with him and not being so fast was rather a handicap. Rod pointed a bevy and single birds, showing excellent style in point work. His running finishtd the first series. Six dogs were tried in the second series. Mohawk and Bessie G were first drawn. It did not take long to see. that liess-ie was outclassed in every way. Mars Ben and Cherokee ran in fine form. Ben was superior in working out ground. Pretty Sing and Pinks Girl closed the running in the derbv. The former was easily the best, fully " sustaining herself while Pinks Girl was decldely off. The awards were then made, the rir.t prize going to Mars Ben, handled by Gilchrist and owned by H. J. Hoover, Newark, Ohio; second to Cherokee, and third to Mohawk, both handled by Mr. Avent and owned by Avent Duryea. The weather wa good ami birds were found ln better quantities. The all-age stakes b.gins Thursday mrning. The attendance was the best of the week. I XCOMTOHTAIlLE SI GGESTIOT S. Electric Motive Power in Tunnel Xo Surety of Safety. Hartford Courant. Tho directors of the New York Central now propose to substitute electric traction for steam traction in the side alleys of their underground abomination, and seem to expect the public to be grateful to them. Would such a change throughout spell of and by itself safety for the passengers? No, answers George Westinghouse. In a letterno the Railroad Gazette he says: "It should be borne ln mind that the electric energy reuuired to operate a heavy train is sufficient to melt a considerable bar of iron, or to start a dangerous fire, if anything goes wrong, uion a car of ordinary combustible construction, much more readily than the car stove, the use of wfri'-h has been abolished by law. Therefore, If a collision were to occur between two electrically fitted trains, each having several combustible cars thereof fitted with electrical apparatus and carrying electric circuits throughout, there could be an accident of so serious a character as to start an agitation having for its purpose the abolition of the use of electricity altogether, or at least to compel the railway companies to abandon the use of combustible cars fitted with electric motors." No, answer the Railroad Gazette's editors. Klectric energy is a good thing to use, and It's going to be usd more and more, but its use should be hedged about with every possible precaution. The cars should te largely of steel, the woodwork should be fireproofed, the underframes should be of extraordinary strength. With cars of the ordinary, lnfiammable maAe such a smash as that in the tunnel would probably mean a short circuit of the electric current and the immediate burning of the wreckage. It would mean the same thing, probably, on an elevated railway. "The fact has been overlooked." say the editors, "during the excitement following this accident that an electric train was burned on the 23d of last December, killing seven people. It has also been forgotten that electric cars have been repeatedly burned to the trucks within the last two or three years. We shall not particularize now because we do not wish to be unnecessarily disagreeable." President Gotshall. of the New York & Port Chester Railroad Company, takes a more chetry view of things. He brushes aside Mr. Westinghouse's letter as "absurd." He admits he has to that last month electric cars caught fire ln a Liverpool tunnel and lives were lost, but he says the Liverpool system was "Installed some years ago," and that an accident of that sort won't occur again. With Tripper automatic block signals and with the nonarcklng fuses (used in London. Paris and Boston) that merely emit a puff of smoke when they snap there's no danger of fire at all. As far as that Is concerned, the passenger Is as safe In an electric car according to President Gotshall as in church. The public is not well Informed about Tripper block signals and nonarcklng fuses. It has an impression that Mr. Westinghouse knows a lot about electricity. The railroad paper's idea that electric cars should be solid and noneombustible will command the public's hearty approval. That isn't science; it's just plain common sense. We feel surer than ever that the public will not bo satisfied with the New York Central's scheme of tunnel improvements as at present unfolded. COST OF SMALLPOX. Expensive Methods of Fighting; the Loatlikome Disease. Philadelphia Tress. John M. Butler, the banker, who lives at Ogontz, and whose son. Allen Rutler, is convalescing from smallpox, has given the Munlcpal Hospital, for the u.e of the scores of iersons in that institution who are suffering from this contagious disease, all the furniture, bedding, hangings, pictures and carpets that were in his son's apartments. The gifts are valued at nearly Jl.two. The visit of smallpox to the Rutler household cost Mr. Rutler nearly ?.".oio. When Dr. James, who is quarantined at his Locust-street homo on account of a servant girl who contracted the disease and died, v and was asked over th telephone what it cost to cure a rmnllpox patient, he replied that the question was too difficult to answer. "Of course, rich persons are fortunately enabled to employ every means known t. the medicH. profession in the rlKht against the disease. Smallpox is one of the costliest diseases to cope with. The doctors hills are a large item and then there are the trained nurses, gome of whom have been paid as high as SO a week to nurse sufferers from this diesase. (Jieat nuantities of disinfectant fluids inu?t be used, and this is one of the most expensive items. "Allen Butler received the best attention that could be given. His apartments were curtained off from the house by double thicknesses of muslin sheets, which were saturated very half hour with chloride. To give an idea as to the amount of disinfectant fluid used it required a cart to remove the empty bottles. "Great quantities of cold cream were used on the patient when that period wa reached when the eruptions dried un and there was danger of the 'smallpox dust' floating about. By the use of the cold cream this danger was averted. The cream was applied to the patient's body every half hour on bandages, and when they were removed all loose and dried scabs were imbedded in the cold cream. Thrs. bandages were wrapped In sheets saturated with the disinfectant riuid and burned in the yard. For twenty-one dvs young Butler's face was covered with cold t-rem, and during this time he was unable to see! "These are some of the best methods of fighting the disease. Of course, they are expensive, and persons who can afford to employ these methods arc fortunate. Again 1 say I cannot approximate the cost of curing a patient; you must draw your own conclusions." LMH.It CIVIL-SEItVIcn hfi.ks. Itnrnl Free IJeliery Ser.ice TVot Politic. In Washington Letter ln Chicago Tost. Many congressmen from rural districts are wearing long faces since- It became known that carriers in the rural free delivery department are to be held to a strict compliance with the civil-service liw. This class of Kovernment employes has been of invaluable benefit to the members in a political way, and the determination of President Roosevelt to keep them from dabbling in politics has wounded them deeply. When the free delivery system was extended Into the agricultural communities the members of Congress were the dispensers of the jobs. They named the men who got the routes, and. of tour.-e, they selected trusty friends and. invariably those who were able to do a political turn in time of need. Th? carriers' duties brought them into daily contact with the people in the district, and in many cases they have become the most serviceable part of congressional machines. Now all Is over. Whin it came to the notice of the President the ither day that rural carriers in the EJehth Indiana district were doing electioneering for Congressmen Crom.r ln addition to their work as servants of the Postolllce Department

Washington Special in New York Post. Under the modest name of "David II. Jarvis. of Pennsylvania." nominated to b collector of customs at Pltka, the mass of the public may not recognize Lieutenant Jarvis, the gallant young otficer of the revenue marine service who made the recordbreaking march across two thousand miles of arctic ice to rescue a handful of sailors on whadng ships frozen in near Point Harrow, where it was impossible to replenish their food and other stores. It was a most perilous expedition, but was entirely successful, not an accident occurring to any member of the rescuing party, thanks to tro- administrative ability and foresight with which Jarvis had planned the whole business. This wonderful feat happened, unfortunately, to bo. performed in lvs. the year of our war with Spain. The American public were shouting themselves hoarse over the heroes of that war. and had little attention to give to the contemporary heroi'S of peace. Had the same exploit oc- t eurred In a year not surfeited wish excitements Jarvis would have ranked in history with Franklin and Kane and other daring explorers, and would have had books of romance written about him. As It Is. he was very handsomely treated in a special message by the President, but a bill to give the thanks of "oneress to the members of his expedition, although introduced and reintroduced during the last three years, has languished because Jarvis, who is the most modest of men, would not think of pressing it himself, and Representative Ringham, of Pennsylvania, has obviously forgot that his district contains so notable a constituent. Since the Point Harrow rescue the Treasury Department has not been unmindful that it has a man of uncommon mettlo in the lieutenant. It was he who was pent to Cape Nome to straighten out the serious sanitary complications which arose there a, year or more ago. and It was be whom the government put in charge of the distribution of medicines and supplies to the diseased and famine-stricken natives of Alaska during the latest epidemic. He is regarded as a man to be trusted with any difficult duty, with a perfect assurance that he will find some way to do it. that the operation will be roiseless, and that there will be no aftermath of scandals or controversy. The Oregon politician who has been making, the government ridiculous In the custom house at Sitka for th last eighteen months has been allowed to hold fast to his Job because the senators from his State could not agree upon his successor. His resignation has been in Unhands of the Treasury Department for about a year. President Roosevelt pot tired, of the case soon after coming into tho White House, and, after giving the warring senators a fair chance to recommend a good man, cut the knot with one blow by picking out a candidate for himself, if Jarvis makes as much of a success of this task as he has of every other assigned to him he will win back public respect for the office and set a pace for Us next occupanL SMOKE AMI FOR. Why the Fori of London Are Thtelc Enough to Cat. American Medicine. Recently a meeting of the Coal Abatement Society was held in London, and many facts and figures were brought forth to show the evils arising from smoke in that city. A report of this meeting and editorial comments on it will be found in the Lancet for Nov. IG and 23. ljl. It seems that these influential Londoners believe that the famous fogs of London are clue as much to the large clouds of smoke which overhang the city as to the moisture in the air. The factors are a moit. still air, and the large quantities of unconsumed smoke. Sir William Richmond estimated that as many as C.ouO tons of coal were carried off in suspension In the atmosphere daily from the chimneys of London. Thl gives some idea of the magnitude of the md.ance ln that city. The dirt caused by this black fog Is only one of the resulting evils; days spent in darkness or in artificial light affect the mind as well as the body. The expense of artificial light as well as the large amount of oxygen c.-nsumed by artificial litrht !s another item of much Importance which should be considered In this connection. Inhabitants of dark cities are nevr cheerful, and no coubt this may te the reason for the sj4eri of the English, which 1- supposed to lc t harnet rlstic by the French and some other. The London society states that there, is even a declJed increase In the death rate during these heavy black foK. nnd thre can te no doubt but what .o much srnoke in the air is a cause of bronchitis and other inflammations of the respiratory tract, which in their turn give. ri:-e to greater liability to pneumonia and tuberculosis. Some of our American cities are nearly, if not quite, as much in need of a Coal Smoke Abatement Society as Ixindon. This is notoriously true of .PittFbursr, although some efforts have been made to abate the nuisance of lato, and Cleveland, formerly one of tho cleanest of cities, is rapidly coming to rival Pittsburg. Even in many other cities In which the nuisance is not so great an effort at abatement would be very desirable. "Wooster I'nlTorsHy Rülfing' Fund. CLEVELAND.
