DYNAMITERS WIN; MIL 15 ALLOWED Labor Leaders May Be Released Pending an Appeal. HOCKIN IS NOT INCLUDED Bonds Are Fixed at SIO,OOO for Each Year of Sentence Imposed, Making a Total of $1,070,000. Chicago, Jan. 6.—The United States circuit court of appeals, sitting in Chicago, on Friday decreed that 32 of the thirty-three dynamiters convicted last week in Indianapolis might walk out of the Leavenworth penitentiary upon the pledging of $1,070,000 bail. To obtain bail in this amount it will be necessary for those who give bail to schedule $2,140,000 in real estate. The release of the former labor union officials was permitted upon a writ of supersedeas. They may remain free pending an appeal on a writ of error. Should any of them forfeit his bond and leave the country, the court admitted, there is no way to bring them back. The offense of which they wei*e found guilty—conspiracy and transportation of dynamite—is not extraditable. The amount was fixed at the rate of SIO,OOO a year for each year to which the convicted men had been sentenced, and there is much doubt expressed as to whether their friends will be able to, furnish the entire amount in the form of securities which the court will accept. Attorneys for the convicted labor leaders at once took steps to provide suitable bonds for their clients. Bonds of the following were fixed at $60,000; J. E. Munsey, Philip A. Cooley, Michael J. Young, John F. Butler, Olaf A, Tveltmoe. Eugene A. Clancy and Frank C. Webb. Herbert S. Hockin, former secretary of the union, was the Only one of the thfrty-three men in Leavenworth who was not included in the writ of supersedeas. This man, who has been repeatedly referred to as "the lago of the conspiracy,” is said to have played fast and loose not only with his fellows in the union, but with government agents and private detectives, to whom he gave both true and misleading information, ULTIMATUM GIVEN TO TURKS. Balkan Allies Reject Sultan’s Proposals and Submit Counter Ones. London, Jan. 6.—Although the word "ultimatum” was not pronounced, what practically was an ultimatum was presented to Turkey in behalf of the Balkan allies at the peace conference. After the Turks had submitted a proposal which was considered inacceptible, Lazar Mijajskovitch, head of the Montenegrin delegation, who pre-» sided, announced the virtual ultimatum, He told Rechad Pasha, chief of the Ottoman envoys, that by Monday Turkey must find away to renounce to the allies its rights over the Island of Crete, cede the islands of the Aegean sea and rectify the frontier of European Turkey so. as to give Adria nople to the allies, or the allies consider that further negotiations for peace were useless. ‘We could march on Constantinople,” said one Balkan delegate, "and dictate terms from there.” At the same time there came from Paris and other places rumors that Adrianople had fallen. These were j not confirmed officially. W. ROCKEFELLER YIELDS. I . -— Oil Man Accepts Subpoena Service Through Counsel.

Washington, Jan. 4. —On the eve of , his retirement from the United States senate, Joseph Weldon Bailey of Texas on Thursday delivered his valedictory, In which he attacked initiative and referendum legislation and defended his congreessional career.

IffIEBNAnONAL sjnmsqkwi Lesson (By E. O. SELLERS, Director of En,’ening Department The Moody Blbß !»• stltute of Chicago.) LESSON FOR JANUARY 12 MAN THE CROWN OF CREATION LESSON TEXT—Genesis 1:28. 27; 2.7-S; 1 15-24. GOLDEN TEXT—“God created man In his own Image.” Gen. 1:27. Ten times the words, “and God said” appear in the first chapter of Genesis. God spake, and ’twas done. Now all is in readiness earth and heaven await his word, “and God said let us make man.” It would seem as though a conference was being held before this momentous event. The “let us make” Is full of suggestion. ■ That each person of the Triune Godhead was present in creation we saw In last week’s lesson, and it Is here still further indicated by the plural form of the Hebrew noun for the name of God. But what pattern shall we follow In the making of man? Surely only the highest and best, hence “in the image of God.” This does not necessarily mean the physical image, but rather the Intellectual and spiritual Image of God, see CoL 3:10, Eph. 4:24, John 5.25. God who is spirit (John 4:25) does manifest himself In material form (see Phil. 2:6, Isa. 6:1-4) and similar passages, and this form resembles the human. But this “Image” (likeness) has been blurred and marred by sin, James 3:9. It was, however, perfectly seen In the perfect Man, Christ Jesus, see Cor. 4:4, Heb. 1:2, 3. Science at a Pause. How God created man we are not~ told, except that he was “formed of the dust of the ground," and to this day the bodies of men and of animals consist of the very same elements as the soil which forms the earth upon which they dwell. It Is yet to be proved that man came from the lower animals, ,and it is a scientific secret that at this point the real leaders of science are at a pause. The dust of our bodies is the same as yonder stars, as the lily of the field, as that which kings and queens are made, jewels-or sunset glories, “the best stuff tn the universe.” But still there are higher heights, ! for God breathed into this man his , own spirit, verse 7, and from this | union of the body and spirit man be. i eame a living ?oul. Man Is the connecting link between the material and the infinite, by the physical he Is re lated to lower nature and by the spin Itual he is related to God. If the theory of the rehabilitatiorf of this earth after the destruction ot the pre-adamlte races Is trfle (chap. 1:2-13), we now see God In*his wondrous grace preparing a place foi man’s especial abode, w. 8,9, 15-24. The two accounts of creation in the first and second chapters of Genesis are not contradictory, and to make them so one must read Into the narrative what Is not there. The first presents a concise outline of creation, the second an enlargement that connects these events with the region where man began to live, the starting point of the present human race. That Eden was undoubtedly in the -■egion of the Euphrates and the Tigris rivers is pretty generally accepted, though, of course, we can only speculate as to the cradle of the human race. Eden was not, however, a place for luxurious Idleness (v. 14). The testing and developing of a man’s highest welfare is always when he Is under limitations. Man has dominion over all nature. He Is to “subdue It” and this subduing process has been the great educating factor of the human racq. It is worthy of note that only as mankind is filled with the spirit of Christianity has he continual dominion over animals and ■nade the earth his servant. It Is the overcomer who wins the crown (Rev. 3: 21). The consequences of disobedience were plainly set before man (v, 17) In Eden, even as to day. As to the two trees, the tree of Ilfs ■nd the tree of the knowledge of good knd evil, we shall consider them In our next lesson. After God had created Adam with 'he highest nature the animals were tot fit companions for him. Nor. could ne be the beginning of the race of man without one like to himself. Man :an attain his highest only as he has human companionship (v. 18). Adam tad the power of speech, and an intelligence. and was given the right to name the animals of the field (v. 19). But In all this there was no compaiV lon for him (v. 20). Unity of Life. In the first account is the simple statement that God created “male and female,” but in the second we see that man Is not complete without the roman. God’s mode was to make her “bone of his bone” (w. 22, 23)C This suggests the utmost possible unity of man and wife; unity of life, of soul, of emotions, of home, etc. Matthew, Henry calls to our attention the won> •n was not taken from “out of his head to top him, nor out of bls feet to be trampled under foot, but out jf his side to be his equal, from un'sr his arm to be protected, and near Us heart to be loved.” The marriage relation Is the most "acred of all human ties (v. 24). It Is he best possible training and education In love, sacrifice, duty, victory -ver evil, in all that Is best In life. _ These are the qualities needed to build up the race. When one is degraded the other of necessity Is lowered. To understand the full meaning 'j the marriage relation we need to omprehend the relation 6f Christ and his church, Eph. 5:31, 32. If, then, man has such a high beginning, does not that very fact Impose upon him a burden of responsibility to his Creator? “Nobility means 1 obligation,” and to renounce Is base 1 ingratitude. Even as Cod said, “let ; as make man,” so by his power we are 1 io continue the work of making mem ’ vbo shall be complete ip Christ Jesus.

COST OF ARTIFICIAL LIMBS United States Government Pays Out $300,000 Annually to Fit Veterans of Our Wars. The government has been expending on the average about $300,000 every year in providing artificial limbs to soldiers of the Civil and other wars, but although $300,000 was ( appropriated and spent in that way in the past year, the appropriation asked for next years was only $115,000. and it has been granted. The reason will appear remarksc the Boston Advertisers WashingMHipCorrespondeiit. It has to, for such V the law. The amount of the appropriation has been, in fact, dropping year by year. In 1903, the first year of the triennial period, the appropriation was $514,000. In 1906, the appropriation was $425,000; in 1907, $105,000. and in 1908, £5120,000. In 1911 it was $105,000. Every third year the appropriation is always very large because the old soldiers may renew their artificial limbs every three years, and they always take good care to do so. The total number of old soldiers provided with artificial limbs, legs or arms or both, is now 9,382. If the old soldier does not want an arm, ot - a leg, or both, that he may need, h§ can take money in lieu of the artificial limb. This “commutation.” Many of them do so, whether they really can use a limb or not. And they are certain to make a requisition every three years as the law permits, and that is what makes the appropriation jump so high every three y® a JyThe value of the “commutation” is $75 for a leg, and from $35 to $75 for an arm. How long such a limb ought to last varies, it has been found. Sometimes they last only a year, and sometimes ten years. The beneficiaries make the artificial legs last about seven years and an arm much longer, but nevertheless they ask for "commutation,” taking the and going on with the old limb. The commutationers number obout -1.600. In 1909 the, commutationers numbered 5,718; in 1910, 2.117, and 1911, 1,530. The war department says that the disabilities of most of the beneficiaries are of such a character that artificial limbs or apparatus render no relief. The commutation alone is of value to them, and that is their extra compensation for having rendered service to their country. The government also appropriates every year $2,000 to furnish artificial eyes and ear drums to not only old soldiers, but to any soldier, disabled In the military service of the country. A great many such cases arise in the , artillery and naval branch of the military service because of the firing of / large guns. The sum of $;>,000 a y ear is also spent in providing trusses for disabled soldiers. Commendable Exactness. Colonel Richardson would allow no officer to be saluted on guard if out of his uniform. One day the colonel saw a young lieutenant in plain clothes, and though he knew the young officer intimately he called to the sentinel to turn him out. A short time afterward the colonel went visiting, and returned late at night in the rain, without the countersign and with a borrowed raincoat. The sentinel called the officer of the guard, who happened to be the young lieutenant. “Who are you?” he asked, knowing full well who he was. “Colonel Richardson.” “What! Without a uniform? Oh. no. You’re not the colonel. You’re an impostor, and if the colonel knew this he would break every bone in your body.” There was nothing for him to do but to return in the drenching rain, but the next morning he called the young lieutenant to him, and told him he had “done his. duty with commendable exactness.” Making Exceptions. A story is told of Col. Sol Meredith of the Nineteenth Indiana. At the Lewisville skirmish the colonel was at the head of his men as they formed In line of battle under fire. The shells were exploding over them, and the boys would involuntarily duck their heads. The coldnel saw it, and exhorted them as he rode along the line to hold up their heads and act like men. He turned to speak to one of his officers, and at that moment a large 18-pound shell burst within a few yards of him,! scattering fragments in all directions.
