'FAVOR OFABBITBATIOH Advocates the Foss Bill as a Means of Preventing Labor Strikes.

FOSTER SCORES GOMPERS Accuses the Federation Leader of Changing Front on the Arbitration Question. WASHINGTON. April 6.-IJishop Spalding, of Peoria, a mtmbfr of the anthracite coal strike comrni3.siou. to-day urged the flan of arbitration container! in the Foss before the House committee on labor. The bill provides for a permanent board of arbitration to which shall be referred disputes between labor and capital. Volney "VV. Foster brietly concluded his remarks begun at the last hearing of the bill. Mr. Foster took President Gompers, of the Federation of Labor, to task for opiosinj? the bilL He quoted Mr. Gompers favoring arbitration in a speech before the Civic Federation In New York In December. i:01. and then referred to Mr. Gompers's statement .before the committee at the last meeting tf the effect thafstrikea are a good thing. Answering questions by acting Chairman Vreeland. Etshop Spalding said it was not h!3 opinion that, the proposed tribunal .would ever be called upon to determine the question of what i.s a-bgitlmate profit on the investment of capital. Its province would be to settle disputes as to hour?, treatment and pay of employes by the employer. A fair wage, be said, was determined In the soft coal mines of the West by the condition in the mints and the cost of living. Where a business tli'l not permit of a living wage according to the American standard of living that business ought to close up, declared the bishop. "I would tar," he continued, "as Sherman, said of war. that the strike is hell." Men who went out on strike went back injured morally and not the same men. The children of strikers had been taught to taunt children of other workmen. The condition between capital ami labor was not improving, he said, although he believed the anthracite coal strike commission had accomplished good results. He referred to the present labor troubles in Colorado. San Francisco aud Chicago. The conditions were blocks to bettering the general conditions of the countrv. It was becoming more and more manifest that capital ana labor were- interdependent on each nthcrAsked If he did not think that conditions were improving as to lawlessness. Bishop Spalding said that it did not seem to be to any extent. He said the riotous conditions during the anthracil- strike were not as bad in this respect a U.e newspapers hal made them, although taerts was picketing and always would be violence in strikes. "I don't think there is in America any class of employers who deliberately do their men wrong." declared Bishop Spalding. The bishop said he believed the American, people to bv a people- of good will to- , ward labor and the distressed. He ber lieved the people free from anarchistic ideas and said that the tendency to socialism s only in a minor way. He regarded a permanent tribunal of greater value than one created for each case of dispute. He did not believe, he said, in sympathetic strikes. The strike, he replied, when asked if he r.'ould deny labor organizations the right to ftrlke. was the one weajon of labor organizations, and to deny that right would be to deny the right to organize, but the object sought, he added, is to bring about peaceful settlements without strikes. abor organizations, he said, had accomplished much good. He is satisfied that any President would appoint a nonpartisan tribunal. He had asked Mr. Mitchell if labor organizations would thrive if they lost the approval of public opinion, and Mr. Mitchell replied that they would not. but would disintegrate. Representative McDermott, of New Jersey, said it would be impossible for the President t secure a committee of men ich as that which settled the coal strike. 3!elid not btlieve a permanent tribunal aould be a success. Mr. McDermott paid fi tribute to tlohn Mitchell, saying be beieved he had the confidence of the people. VRBD AMES MAY SEND BROTH BR TO PRISON Minneapolis Man Reported Ready to Testify Against ForL mer Mayor. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.. April 6.The grand Jury, following the suggestion made to it by Judge Elliott, has taken up the case of former Mayor A. A. Ames with a view to returning a new indictment that will meet the objections of the Supreme Court. The latter freed Dr. Ames from the penitentiary sentence impending because of technical defects In the indictment under which he was tried. It is surmised, that Mrs. Fred Ames, who went before the grand jury as a witness, to-day offered to give the facts concerning the graft" system to which her husband Is now willing to swear, even though it results In the conviction of his own brother. Fred Ames, it is said, feels "he has been abandoned by his brother. MAY. FORCE ALLEGED BRIBERS TO RETURN United States and France Expected to Make New Grounds I for Extradition. PARIS. April 6. Foreign Minister Dclcasse, at the request of the United States mbassy, has written to Minister of Justice Valle, requesting an early tlecision in the case of the request of the United States to make bribery grounds for extradition. It is believed that the delay is due to the State Department's desire to make the agreement retroactive, so as to cover bribery heretofore committed. The retroactive features probably will not be granted, but If they are it is expected that they will have a sensational sequel in the apprehension of certain parties now sojourning in Europe who are suspected of having been connected with municipal bribery in a, large American city.

Russians to Begin Celebrating Easter Holidays To-Day Superstition of the People.

IT WILL BE RED EASTER ST. PETERSBURG, April C The Easter holidays, the greatest religious festival in the Russian calendar, begin to-morrow. All business will be suspended and all government departments closed. The next three days will be days of mourning for the devout Muscovites. Every Orthodox Church In th" vast empire will reproduce events in Christ's passion realistically, including the washing of feet, the crucifixion and the burial, which will be marked on the part of the faithful by a total abstinence from food, followed by universal feasting after the midnight services on Saturday commemorating the resurrection. Then there will be four days of merry-making and rejoicing. In holy Russia Easter is distinctly a democratic festival. The salutation, "Christ is risen!" levels all ranks. The beggar In the streets can kiss the Emperor, who is head of the church. Ordinarily his Majesty goes to Moscow for this occasion, but on account of the war he will remain here this year, taking the sacrament to-morrow and attending the service at the winter -palace Saturday night. Millions of the Emperor's subjects will also take the sacrament to-morrow. Many of the wealthy classes and numbers of the nobility have gone to shrines of especial sanctity, like that of the Serguis Monastary at Moscow, and thousands , have gone to Father John's Church at Cronstadt. Enormous quantities of delicacies are consumed during th feasting, but the war this year casts a cloud over the rejoicing. The grocers, bakers and butchers are complaining, and even charity organizations will look in vain for a Golden Master, the pople having already given to the Red Cross Society, the navy and otlvr war funds the money they ordinarily would have expended on gorgeous feasts and presents. Much of the customary brightness also will be lacking among the people. In their quaint, picturesque language they say: "It will be a red Kaster," red for the blood shed !n the far East. There is also a superstitious Iwdief that the Japanese will make a desperate effort to take advantage of the Russian army and navy at this solemn period, as the British and their French allies did when they bombarded Odessa on Easter in and the authorities have anticipated such a probability. General Kuropatkin ami Vice Admiral Makaroff have taken special precautions against a surprise. THREE MEN POUND LIP BLESS IN ROOMS Brothers and Boarder Asphyxiated in Hammond Home at Philadelphia. v PHILADELPHIA, April 6. Edward and Charles Hammond, brothers, and Oscar Sigertsen were asphyxiated by Illuminating gas as they slept in the Hammond home last night.

Both banks are owned by E. II. Greene, of Dow City. Mr. Greene says the assets are between $75,000 and $l).000 greater than the direct liabilities and that depositors will be paid in full. Speculation in Western cattle is given as the cause of tho failure. N. Wilder, of Dow City, has been appointed receiver of the ,two banks. CONDUCT OP MILITIA TO BE INVESTIGATED COLUMBUS.. O., April 6. By direction of Governor Ilerrick a military board has been appointed to inquire Into the conduct of the Springfield companies of the Ohio National Guard during the recent riot and lynching In that city.

All the guard duty was performed by outside companies. BISHOP. OBJECTS TO COMMUNION CUPS MANCHESTER, N. II., April 6.-Bishop Charles II., Fowler, D D., of Buffalo, declined to administer thqr sacrament of the Lord's Supper at the opening ' session of the New Hampshire Methodist Episcopal Conference here to-day because individual communion cups had been furnished. To these the bishop took marked objection and as no other cups were available immediately, the sacrament was not administered. Tho service probably will be held later.

BIG FOUR ARE CHOSEN To Represent Pennsylvania Republicans and Are Instructed to Vote for Roosevelt. HARRISBURG. Pa.. April . Former Attorney General John P. Elkin, of Indiana county, was nominated unanimously for Supreme Court justice to-day by the Republican state convention. Governor Samuel W. Pennypackcr. James Elvtrspn. of Philadelphia, O. D. Bleakley, of Franklin, and Francis L. Robbins, of Pittsburg.' were elected delegates at large to the national convention and instructed to vote for the nomination of President Roosevelt. Robert Fitcairn, of Tittsburg, and Levy G. McCauley, of Philadelphia, were nominated for presidential electors at large. Senator Tenrose was elected chairman of the state committee. v Mr. Elkin came to Harrisburg Monday as a candidate without opposition for delegate at large and was contident of the nomination of Governor Pennypacker for the Supreme bench. But the Governor late yesterday declined the nomination. The party leaders then agreed 'to nominate Mr. Elkin, and after the Philadelphia. Allegheny, Lancaster and Dauphin county delegates caucused and agreed on Mr. Elkin there never was any doubt of his nomination. The salary of the Supreme Court justice Is $10,000 a year, and the term is for twenty-one years. Mr. Elkin is fortyrfour years of age and for years has been a Republican leader of the State. The resolutions reaffirm the last national and State platforms and call attention to the party's accomplishments within the past seven years in "contrast between conditions to-day and those existing under the last Democratic administration." Continuing, the platform says: "We glory in the achievements of the party during the administration of the late lamented McKinley and his successor in office, who had so faithfully adhered to his policies and forcefully carried them Into effect. They have brought unparalleled prosperity, maintained the public honor, fostered industry, stimulated enterprise, extended American commerce, strengthened American influ ence, ennobled American citizenship and brought prosperity alike to capital and labor. We commend the wise statesmanship and promptness .of action which have enabled us to secure national control of territory required for the isthmian canal, and which will, in the near future, unite and make near neighbors of the gulf, the Atlantic seaboard and the Pacific. We com mend the vigorous and effective action of the present administration in the enforce ment of laws enacted by a Republican Congress for the prevention of unlawful com binations. We deplore the war now waging between Russia and Japan, commend the position of absolute neutrality maintained by the government at Washington and congratulate the administration upon the success of its diplomatic efforts, resulting in secur ing the assent or the powers to tne restriction of the zone of warfare, thus protecting our rapidly growing trade relations in the Orient. "In Theodore Roosevelt, soldier and statesman, author and scholar, equal friend of labor and of capital, vigorous and impartial executive, we have a President of whom we are justly proud, and whose wise and beneficient administration we heartily indorse and desire to continue. We there fore heartily recommend his nomination for the presidency by the approaching na tional convention and instruct our delegates accordingly." The administration of Governor pennypacker is indorsed and a tribute is paid to Senators Quay and Penrose for their services to the State and party. Recommendation is made to Congress that appropriations shall be made sufficient to place our navy in point of strength and in efficiency in its proper place among the navies of the world. Loyalty to- the Republican protective policy is reaffirmed and the resolutions conclude as follows: "We again acknowledge with grateful hearts the Indebtedness of our Republic to the unsurpassed bravery and valor of our soldiers and sailors in the war of the rebellion and in our SpanishAmerican and Philippine wars." UNITED CHRISTIAN PARTY TO MEET MAY i All "Patriots Who Believe in Jesus" Welcomed to National Convention. ST. LOUIS, April 6. Notification was sent out to-day by William Rudolph Bcnkst, national chairman of the United Christian party, that the national convention, which will be held in St. Louis May 1, will not convene in the world's fair grounds, but will instead occupy the Coliseum, because more space is required than can be furnished by any hall in the exposition grounds. In Issuing this notification a general call is Issued, supplementary to the convention call Issued last year, as follows: "All patriots who believe in Jesus and Christian government by and for the people, governed by the Golden Rule, are welcome to take part in the convention, regardless of nationality, sex, creed, color or previous politics. Special prayer is requested for this convention throughout every State and Nation." NOVEL HAIR COMB Has Advantage of Concealing Itself Within Wearer's Tresses.

CAR-BARN BANDITS FIND UNKNOWN FRIEND Sympathetic California Man Would Save Murderers from the Gallows. CHICAGO, April 6. The car-barn bandits. sentenced to be hanged on April 22, have found a friend in M. B. Sherman, of San Diego, Cal. Beyond giving his name and place of residence the would-be benefactor does not reveal himself. Mr. Sherman has sent out a circular letter to a number of newspapers in Illinois. He says: "It seems as though something ought to be done to change the sentence of death into life imprisonment." Mr. Sherman sa-ys nothing about the crimes of the condemned murderers. He base3 his plea solely on an ap peal to parental feeling, and asks all fa thers how they would feel if their sons were condemned to die. GEN.

TO ENJOIN NORTHERN SECURITIES COMPANY Suit Brought in New York to Pre vent Distribution of Stock of Constituent Companies. NEW YORK. April 6. Vice Chancellor Bergen signed an order, in Jersey City to-day, to show cause why an injunction should not issue to re strain the Northern Securities Company- from holding a stockholders' meeting on April 21, from distributing any stock of the Northern Tacific Railway Company and the Great North ern Railway Company, and from taking any action In regard to the reduction of Its capital stock. The bill for the injunction was asked for by the Continental Securities Company, which asked the Couit of Chancery to compel the Northern Securities Company to return , to the original stockholders of the Northern Pacific Railway the stocks formerly held by them upon the same terms under which the stock of the two companies was acquired by the Northern Securities Comiany. The complainant company holds steck in the Northern Securities Company. Arguments will be. heard next Monday in Jersey City. According to the bill, the complainant under stands that, at the meeting on April 21. the stockholders will be called upon to recommend to the directors that VJ per cent, of outstanding shares of the Northern Securities Company be called in for surrender and cancellation, that the capital stock be reduced from $3.9"4.000 to $39.540, and that for each share surrendered S:!"7 'of stock of the Northern I'acific and $30.17 of stock of the Great Northern be delivered. The bill says the complainant does not know anything about the balance or the assets of the Northern Securities Comtany after deducting for the distribution ft the stock, or whether the assets are worth $3.9it.000. as allcured. or anything at all. and that the paucity of details con cerning the pressed recommendation leaves no Judgment to the complainants whether they thall remain in ine rsorinern öecurmes cxmpa.ny or not. Queer Situation in Far "West. ST. PAUL, Minn.. April 6. The Dispatch to day says: I.aws of various Western States pro hibiting parallel lines from owning or controlling each other, and which were so vigor ously attacked by the Securities Company when the merger was" being formed, have suddenly ben found very advantageous to merger inter ests, inasmuch a they may be employed to pre vent llarriman people from getting control of the Northern Pacific. Ijtws which once threat ened to break up the conib'natlon are to be em ployed in protecting it. This somewhat paradox ical situation came to light to-day. when it was lf"arnel that, Attorney General Donovan, of Montana, who had teen hastily sumnionc-d to St. Tauk by the CVeat Northern interests, was Importuned to use the strength of the Montana laws to prevent thf Harrtmfcn Interests, through the Oregon Short-line, from getting control of the Northern Tacific. Attorney General Donovan was closeted with the Grrt Northern otlicials for some time. It is supposed that as soon as he returns to Montana he will prepare an action, which will be commenced, if necessary, bringing into piay the Montana laws prohibiting such consolidations. HELENA. Mont., April 6. The dispatch from St. l'aul was called to the attention of Gov. J. K. Toole. The Governor declared that he had no knowledge of the plans of the attorney general of Montana in regard to this matter nor was he familiar with the ioints involved In th proposed step. The oftiorm of the attorney general's office also declared themselves isagrant CX the j?Ia&3 of lilt RU?nn-y general.

the street and ask how the money at the bank was running. He said he expected to have some money very soon. He asked about the debts of the Acme Cycle Company nd other outside firms and said they owed entirely too much money to the bank." "Did Brourick and Brown ever trade notes. Mr. Collins, and if so tell the jury about it?" "On several occasions Brown gave notes of the National Manufacturing Company to Brodrick in exchange for notes of the Elkhart Paper Company. It was done to discount the notes and raise money." "What was done about paying pay rolls of the National?" "The bank paid them every week?" "Whv were the pay-roll checks carried as cash items instfad of being put on the ledger?" "They would have made too big an over draft." "Mr. Collins, was the loan of Ward O. Collins ever paid?" "It was not." "Who gd the money?" "The National Manufacturing Company." "Was this method of loaning done to evade the law?" "It was." STORY OF SECRET MEETING. Kealing then turning his searching ques tionings td the meetings held in the bank on the nights just previous to its closure, asked: "Was Brown at the bank on the night of Nov. IS when a consultation was held with the bankers?" "Yes. He was there just before the meeting, several times during the meeting and after the meeting." answered Collins. "Where was he during most of the time the meeting was in session?" "He was in Judge Van Fleet s office, di rcctly above the bank." "What was said to Brown any time dur ing the meeting?" "He came in when Mr. Brodrick and I withdrew to discuss the offer of the bankers to loan us $40,000. 1 said that we should not take the money, as we would probably have to close up the next day anyway. Brown said: "I'll take the jto.ouo and clean up some of this indebtedness and if the bank breaks it will have to break. However, Brodrick and 1 returned and turned down the offer." "After the bankers left, what was said before Brown about making some entries in the books?" "Mr. Brodrick said there were some en tries which would have to be made in the books." "Was Brown present when you made the entries?" "Yes, sir." BROWN MAKES FALSE ENTRY. Kealing handed Cojllns the bank book in which the entries were made and the latter showed the jury the false entries made that night in the bank. Among them was a note made there by Brown, who furnished the data by which Thomas later put it on the books. "Did Brodrick take the notes you made that night out of the bank?" "Yes, when he left early in the morn ing." "Did he pay anything for them?" "He gave $23,000 of Elkhart Taper Com pany bonds for them." "Mr. Collins, were you and Mr. Brown at the bank on the evening of Nov. 16?" les, we went together. "What was said and done there that night?" VMr. Brodrick, Mr. Brown and myself were in the back room and Brodrick told me to bring the note case in, as we would want to look it over. I did so and Brown said that he wanted to take up the Alford notes, as he did not propose that that man should lose his farm. I said I didn t think we had a right to do this, but Brodrick said that he didn t see that it made any differ ence. Brown was given the note and took it away with him when he left." "was there more than one note? de manded Kealing. ."There were three Alford notes for $1,000 each." "Was there any credit on the notes?" "There was on one of them. But I be lieve that Brown said that nothing had ever actually been paid on it." BROWN EXCHANGES NOTES. "What was given to take the place of the three Alford notes taken out that night?" "Brown wrote out two notes of the Con solidated Paper and Bag Company, dating them Nov. 5, for $6,000 each." "Were the Tousley notes also taken out that night, Mr. Collins?" Mr. Kealing asked. Miss Tousley was Brown's stenographer, who signed notes for the com pany, although she had no money or prop erty. "Yes, they were. Mr. Brown took them, also." "Were they still owing, and if so, what was given in their place?" . "Yes. Two notes of the Consolidated were given in their place." Mr. Kealing produced the notes and Mr. Collins identified Brown s signature. He said Brown wrote them out that night in the bank. "Was the D. C. Brown (Mrs. Walter Brown) note taken out that night also?" continued Kealing. "Yes: it was taken by Brown." "What did he put in its place?" "A note for $4,500 of the National Man ufacturing Company." "How about the Brown-Capps note of

Rv.0? Was it also taken out that night by Hrown?" "It was. and a check of the National Manufacturing Company left in Its place." "Mr. Collins, tell the Jury if any entries were made that night of all these noies." "The entries were made on the blotter, but not on the bank lexlser." NOTES NOT ENTERED. "Where was Brown when this work was done?" "He was present." Collins then took the blotter and showed the jury the entries that were made that night. "I see an entrv here of Jöa.ooo on the blotter." said Kealing. "what eioes that mean?" "It means the loans made and includes the notes of the National Manufacturing Company and other notes of the Elkhart Taper Company and Acme Cycle Company made out that night In the bank."

"Mr. Coillns. you may state if any of this transaction put on the books that night was put on the blotter?" "No. sir." Collins said that, although these entries of great sums of monej- were put on the books of the bank that night, no deposits were made to cover them. "I will ask you. Mr. Collins, what money you and Brodrick took out of the bank on the night of Nov. 1?" "I checked out my own account and that of my family, and Mr. Brodrick took about $7.0')." "Did you take any money that night or that elay for Mr. Brown? "That afternoon I took out Brown's account for him. It amounted to $3MJ.05. It was his account as district chairman." "Was the tin box which has figured In this trial taken out that night?" "Yes, it was. I took it home with me and kept it until I came down here, where I gave it to you." "When it was in' your keeping did you ever take it away from your home?" TIN BOX'S JOURNEY. Collins replied that he had taken it over to Brown's home on one occasion at the request of Brown and Brodrick; by the former declaring a check of $5,500 was due him. This check was taken out of the box and turned over to him against the protest of Collins. Kealing then asked about the $23,000 of checks kept in the box. Collins said they were checks of the Consolidated and that the money of the bank had been paid on them. They were carried in the bank as cash as'sets, Collins testified. "Did the checks go out to take the place of the bonds?" Kealing questioned. "They did," was the answer. Attorney Kealing then turned to the account of the National Manufacturing Company and asked if any of the checks of this company, which was controlled by Brown, went through the bank to pay the grocery and other bills of Brown. The-question brought forth vigorous objections from attorneys for the defense, who declared that they could not stand sponsor for all Brown's private business dealings. Judge Anderson, however, told the witness to answer the question, and Collins said Brown's private bills were paid in this manner. Kealing read down the list of Items, showing that laundry, grocery, butcher and many other bills were paid with money of the National Manufacturing Company. Collins was asked about the item of $125 paid the Howe Military Academy and said that Brown told him that he had paid Frank's (Collins) and Gilbert's (Brown) tuition at Howe with the money.

Anna Shaw Compares United States and Ancient Rome and Prescribes Remedy. The Rev. Anna N. Shaw, widely known as a lecturer, dellevered her most Interesting address, "The Fate of Republics," last night at the Meridian-street M. E. Church. "Every step of our progress is parallel to that of ancient Rome and every step of our decay is parallel to her decay. Therefore some of you would say our doom is sealed," she said. "Vice and corruption are now robbing this land of its flower of strength and of the essence of freedom. We must stop it else we will be run over like ancient Home by hordes of vandals. "How can we stop it? By having the white flag of temperance waving In every city. This is our only hope. Do a-way with the evils of drink, which destroy the best within us. tThat is the purpose of this great meeting of men here to-night in Indianapolis."
