1 UHE MOUSING OEEGOKIA2T. SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 1905. TO PROVE BRIBERY Illinois House insists on Mil ler's Evidence. COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE Antl-Mlller Force Oppoae Farther Action on Traction Bills Until It Uu Reported Ther Add Own Men to Committee SPRINGFIELD, HL. April M-The Il linois House of Representatives today by a vote of 7! to 60. declared "no confidence In ttm nrtrilnr ftfflpM1. fineaker John H. Miller, whose alleged unwarranted use of the gavel In furthering- a proposea r.. rnent affecting street railway franchises In Chicago led to a riot yesterday. A committee of Ave, all personal followers of the Speaker, had been appointed by him to Investigate the charges of at tempted bribery In connection with the passage of the Mueller traction bllL Thm was a strong feeling among the antl-Mlller Legislators that there was a possibility of a whitewash, and steps were taken to Increase the committee In such x manner as to have the Speaker's ap pointees In a minority. If anything In the line of a whitewash should be attempted. The Miller men fought hard to retain the committee as originally appointed, but were outvoted, and the report of the com mittee was made a special order for next Tuesday morning. At the same time a eubpena Issued for George V. Hlnman. of Chicago, was made returnable on the same date. It Is the Intention of the House to Interrogate him In regard to the facts upon which an editorial In the Inter Ocean of Chicago In connection with the Mueller bill was based. The antl-Mlller men came to the hall to day determined to force the Speaker to prove his charges or withdraw them. If he could not readily be Induced to act they had decided that no business should be transacted In the House until he had complied with their demand. They had their own way In everything from first to last, and the Speaker's forces were de feated at every point. Calm Follows Storm. The opening of the cession this morning was a calm after the storm yes terday, although there was a decided un dercurrent of feeling against Speaker Mil ler which threatened to break out again if anything similar to the tactics of yes terday was attempted. The .chief interest In the traction ques. tlon centered around the appointment of the committee to investigate the charges of attempted "bribery in -behalf of the Mueller bill made yesterday -by Speaker Miller. The Speaker would not announce the members of the committee this morn ing, and none of his followers would give out the names if they knew them. The members opposed to Miller flatly declared that they did not believe there was any thing In the cbarges made by the Speaker. and announced their Intention of pushing home the matter In such a way that he would be compelled to prove his assertion or admit that he could not make it good. In accordance with an agreement reached this morning between the two factions no attempt was made to approve mo journal 01 yesieraay, ana me pro ceedings of yesterday were left open. Plans of Antl-Sllller Men. Before Mr. LJndley called Up his bill i conference of those frkndly to the Muel ler bill was Tield.,and they agreed they would Insist upon having all amendments stripped from the Llndley bill. The rep resentatives from counties other than Cook who are opposed to Speaker Miller, announced that they would not agree to further consideration of traction mat' ters until the bribery charges made yes terday by Speaker Miller had been Inves tigated. The Cook County members of tho conference agreed with this position and it was decided to force the appoint ment of an Investigation committee. It was also agreed that a reenlutlon should be adopted summoning George W. Hlnman. of Chicago, before the bar of the House to answer Inquiries concerning as sertlons which he had caused to be pub lished, that money had been used to fur ther the passage of the Mueller bill. A number of conferences were held pre vious to the meeting of the House this morning. Just before the House convened Mr. Allen, who acted as Speaker during the session held by the 97 members that remained In their seats after Speaker Miller declared a recess yesterday, an nounced the following floor committee to act for the antl-organlzatlon forces Democrats. Wilson. M. L. McKlnley and Uurtonr Republicans, Murray, Brundage, Tlce. A conference was had with the mem' bers of the Republican steering commit tee and It was agreed that no attempt should be made to approve the journal of yesterday. The plan decided on was to have the matter of approval of the journal postponed until the next leglala tlve day, thus leaving the proceedings of yesterday open. Mr. Rlnaker was se- letted to make the motion to postpone. Llndley I Called Off. The House was called to order at 9:15 by Speaker Miller. The clerk proceeded with the reading of the journal up to the close of the regular afternoon ses slon. Then Mr. Rlnaker moved that the further reading of the journal and Its ap proval be postponed until the next lens latlve session. The motion was carried without opposition. Mr. Llndley then started to call up the motion to reconsider the vote by which the amendments to House bill S64 (the Llndley ownersnip dhij, were adopted yes- terdajv "If there are no objections," said he. "the motion can recover He did not complete the sentence, some of the members nearby Interrupting him In an undertone. Before he resumed. message from the Senate was announced. The message announced the passage of a number of bills. When the reading of the message was concluded. Mr. Llndley said: "Mr. Speaker. I withdraw my request as to House bill SSI at the request of some members of the House." Mr. Curtis, by unanimous consent, then called up a number of appropriation bills on second reading. At 10-30 Mr. Llndler asked unanlraau: consent of the House for the consideration of the Llndley bill, and requested further that the consent ebouM cover all the amendments. The consent was obtained and Mr. Undley entered upon an ex haustlve discussion of traction legislation past and present. Stewart of Cook County, requested per mission to ask a question of Mr. Llndley and said: "I understand that the first amendment to the Llndley bill is under discussion. "It Is." said Mr. Llndley. "Then why. demanded Mr. Stewart. "did you not make this speech yester day r "I can only my." replied Undley. "that It Is the habit of some men to ack ques tions which they conceive to be embarras sing when they fled themselves In danger of being overwhelmed by the argument. This remark called forth loud Jeer from the Cook County representatives To Investigate Bribery Cluntt When Mr, Llndley concluded his speech on the traction question. Representative Schlagenhauf made a point of order, say ing that charges had been made that brlberr bad been used to advance trie Interests of the Mueller bill, and he thought the honor of the House required that such charges be Investigated before any action was taken on the traction bills. He then submitted a resolution caning1 for an Investigation cf the charges made by George W. Hlnman. of Chicago, and published In the Inter-Ocean. The resolution, which calls for Mr. Hlnman's presence In the House not later than next Tuesday, was adopted unani mously, eight members being- absent or not voting. Representative Morris introduced a reso lution ordering the appointment of a com mittee of five to investigate the charges of attempted bribery of the Speaker, which were made yesterday by Speaker Miller. It was unanimously adopted, and the Speaker named as members of the committee Representatives Wheeler. Kopf. Morris; Johnson and Farley. All Ave are personal friends and adherents of the Speaker. Another Slap at Miller. The fact that Speaker Miller failed to appoint as a member of the committee Mr. Rlnaker. who on Thursday moved the appointment of the committee, surrea the antl-Mlller people to wrath, and Clar ence Parrow. of Cook, moved that the committee of five be Increased to 11. and that Renresentatlves Rlnaker. McKlnley, Trautmann. Bundy, Shurtleft and Mc Manaman be additional members. The motion was carried by a vote of 72 to 6). Upon motion of Mr. Rlnaker, all action on the traction bills was put over until Tuesday, when Mr. Hlnman is summoned to appear, and when the committee ap pointee: mis morning wiu report. WILL VISIT THE POPE. Kins; Edward Makes Flans and Leo Ignores Petty Details. ROME. April Si-Great satisfaction Is felt at the Vatican at the official an nouncement that King Edward will visit the pope, although some arrangement by which the British sovereign would not have to start from the Embassy for the Vatican would have been preferred. The concession that His Majesty start from the Embassy met with strong opposition from some of the Vatican advisers, and was only overcome through the personal Intervention of the pope, who said he would not allow details of form to In terfere with a meeting which he most de sired, as he wished to maintain with King Edward- the same good relations and friendly intercourse be had with his mother. At the QuhinaL where the point Is al ways made not to Interfere with the na tion's guests' desire to maintain friend ship with the pope, thus demonstrating the complete Independence of the papacy. it is remarked mat the Vatican, in allow ing King Edward to start from an Em bassy accredited to the King of Italy, a concession hitherto constantly refused. has created a precedent that 'may in the future prove most embarrassing to the Holy See.

April :i "If Jesus Christ should Teturn to the earth tomorrow, he would be welcomed in every Jewish syna gogue In the land, and every Jew - would say with David, 'Lift up your heads. O ye gates, ana be ye lift up. ye everlasting doors, and the king of glory shall come in."

The governments of Prussia and of the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg have decided to expel the Mormon missionaries, of whom there are 115 in Germany and SO in Prussia, on the ground that they are propagating a form of religious belief Incompatible with the laws ot state and public morals, and be cause polygamy is not excluded from their doctrines. The missionaries, who are all Americans, will be allowed sufficient time to settle up their personal affairs. None of the Mormons has yet been deported. The government of Prussia defines the expulsion as being simply a police meas ure, for which no explanation need be made. Peter Lantensac. a German, naturalized In Utah, first organized missionary work here In 1S9& He was succeeded In 1S93 as bishop by Arnold Schulthelss, a Swiss naturalized in Utah, who directed 100 mis slonaries. Hugh J. Cannon, replaced him in 1900. and the latter has steadily in creased the number of Mormon preachers and has neatly doubled the membership, wmcn is now isuu. When a Mormon arrived In a German village he would rent a hall and begin to preach, and the common result was that the local pastors would complain to the police, who not Infrequently ordered the missionary to leave. Bavaria some time ago decreed the ex pulsion of Mormons, and they quietly left without making a stir or attracting dls cusslon. Mr. Cannon, who has been in formed officially ot Prussia's and Mecklen burg's decision, has not yet determined what to do, but he will endeavor to obtain a reversal ot the policy. He -affirms that the missionaries never teach polygamy. never persuade their adherents to emi grate, and always admonish obedience to the laws. Tho members are discouraged from emigrating. Mr. Cannon adds, be cause the church desires to establish permanent foundation here. The mission aries in Germany, at their own expense. have distributed considerable sums of money In charity. MURDER BV NAVAL CADET. Reichatae Wroujcht TTp by Details ot Hartmann's Death. BERLIN, April 21. The government was Interpellated by members of the Center party regarding the killing ot an artil leryman named Hartmann by Naval Cadet Hussener at Essen on Good Friday last because the former did not salute the lat ter properly. Admiralty -Secretary von Tlrpltz. In reply, began with a narrative of the circumstances ot Hartraann's death. as already cabled. When he described how Hussener stabbed Hartmann In the back there were cries of "Shame!" from mem bers of the Reichstag. Von Tlriptx read a telegram from the examining magistrate at Kiel, showing that the marine authorities accepted lis tener's testimony that he received a blow from Hartmann while struggling to free, himself from the latter, although several witnesses saw no blow struck. Continuing, von Tlrpitz said the regulations respect ing the use of arms are most precise. Every superior was justified In using his arms to order and compel obedience to -his orders In cases ot extreme necessity or danger. So tar as the Essen case could be Judged, Hussener acted directly con trary to the regulations. The Admiralty recretary said; "The Incident Is profoundly regretted throughout the navy, which Is the best guarantee that there will be no repetition of it." - Exposition.

WOULD believe at all In original sin and Inherited depravity. They believe every man Is a re- SDonslble. free'agent. and Is not Involved In the guilt of his fathers or his children. I Of course, therefore, they do not Deiieve tho itorv of the fall of man In the Book of Genesis ln its literal sense. They accept the teachings of the higher criticism and 1 consider the story of the Garden ot Eden as an allegory. "As they reject the doctrine ot original sin. they reject, of course, the doctrine of redemption from sin. They believe in a Messiah, but the Messiah of the Old Tes tament Is a temporal prince, who. shall reign over the Jews after they shall have been reunited and become a nation again In Palestine. At least the orthodox Jews believe this, but the liberal Jews do not believe in the Messianic prophecies at all. For Instance, the prophecy In ' Isaiah, supposed to teach the miraculous birth of Jesus, was undoubtedly spoken of by Hezeklah. and, properly translated, there Is nothing miraculous about it. "The Jews hold that Jesus preached nothing but Judaism. The supremacy of the commandant to love God and man, the doctrine of the fatherhood of God, the doctrine that the Sabbath was made tor man, the abrogation of the law of retalia tion, the obligation to love even one's enemies, and the Lord's Prayer,- which we readily admit Is the subllmest petition ever framed In the human language all these we claim were taken frcm the Jew ish writings, some of which were com posed hundreds ot years before Jesus was born. "Moreover, when It comes to practicing the loving precepts ot Jesus, the Jews claim that the Christians have made an utter failure of it. The truth is. Jesus was crucified by a Roman Governor and Roman soldiers, and. though the cruci fixion was Instigated by Jews, It was by a few jealous priests and not by the mass of the Jewish people, who admired and loved him. as Is evident from his trium phal entry Into Jerusalem the day before. "So far as tne modern jews are con cerned, they regard Jesus as one of the noblest spiritual teachers that ever ap peared in the world, and that the Jews have furnished the only shining example of obedience. The so-called disciples of Jesus have persecuted the Jews with savage ferocity lor ages, ana tne jews have borne tfielr persecutions with lamb like gentleness and silence." Dr. Hlrsch then presented the belief of the Jews in the resurrection and the Im mortality of the soul. He said It could not be denied that men bad souls, and the bare existence of a soul proved Its Immor tality after death. said to a representative of the Associated Press today: "Mr. Hord tendered his resignation on April 22. the day after my return from Mayaguez. It was Immediately, accepted by me, and Mr, Herd's participation. In the work of 'the Treasury Department .will cease .April 30. This action arises from the fact that Mr. Hord. during my ab sence, caused Information to be filed be fore a Justice of the Peace against Com mander Mentz and others, absolutely without my knowledge or authority to do so and without consulting In any way either myself and I could easily have bein reached by telegraph-or the Assist ant Treasurer, who was In charge of the department during my absence." FAJARDO IS FIRED. Governor Hunt Demand Realtrnatlon of Corrupt .Mayor. SAN JUAN, April 21. Governor Hunt today sent a letter to Senor Fajardo, ajk lng for his Immediate resignation. Fa jardo Is the Mayor of Mayaguez, who has been charged with municipal frauds. The Governor took this step upon 'a re port from Treasurer Wllloughby that there had been gross fraud and wrong on the part ot the employes and officials at Mayaguez. The Republican press still supports Fa-, jardo and charges that the government Investigators resorted to duress, and even to torture, to elicit damaging tes timony against him. This charge has no weight with the better element in Porto Rico. ACCEPT THE LAND BILL Irian Landowners Say It Is Best Yet Proposed. DUBLIN. April 2t.

Out of IS large firms allied to the Essen Chamber of Commerce, all but one have resolved to refrain from exhibiting, and, a report just received from Sollngen announces that all the manufacturers and large in dustrial firms belonging to the Chamber of Commerce of that city have resolved unanimously not to exhibit. Only a few wceVs ago German publish ing houses agreed to boycott the St. Louis Exposition because of defective copyright laws 'and tho wholesale translation of German publications In the United States, equivalent to literary piracy. The Ann of Krupp. of Essen, which was the largest German exhibitor at Chicago, obstinately refuses to exhibit at St. Louis. Similar resolutions have been carried by numerous Chambers of Commerce, espe cially in the industrial regions of the Rhine. Westphalia and Silesia.

The del? egates to the annual contention ot the National Munldpil League .came over from Detroit to hold two sessions at the University ot Michigan. At the forenoon, session Frank 11. Scott, vice-president of the Municipal Voters' League, ot Chicago, delivered an address on the municipal sit uation In Chicago, speaking In part as follows: "The foundation ot misrule In large cities Is the apathy ind Indifference of their citizens. The probrem now being worked out In Chicago Is how far a wide and genuine desire for good government, expressing Itself In positive action, can be effective as against tho limitations of a body of laws uniulted to existing condi tions, an unsympathetic Legislature, the opposition ot partisan machines and a set. tied order of things which is the fruit ot years ot misrule. The Municipal Voters' League entered the field In 1SS6, with the avowed purpose of endeavoring to secure the election of aggressively honest men to the Council, and employed surprisingly simple means to effect Its aim. The once powerful rang has been completely over thrown, but three ot its IS members re maining; In the Council, and they are wholly discredited and without Influence. A very remirkable fact is that in the or ganization ot Its committees party affilia tions have no place. The success ot the League Is proof of and has been wholly due to the widespread and sincere desire of the citizens for good government. "There are important elements entering into the present municipal situation in Chicago. Chief among these Is the move ment to secure an amendment to the con stitution of the state which shall permit changes in the laws relating to local gov ernment. The city is grievously embar rassed bv ' constitutional restrictions en tirely unwamnted by present conditions. and by the Illogical system which gives to the State Legislature a control over purely local concerns. It Is also proposed to ac complish adequate changes In the revenue laws, and a reform of municipal and local minor courts. The Municipal Question in Detroit" was the subject of 1 paper by Sherman D. CaUendar, attorney for the Detroit Muni cipal League. He -said: Programme of Reform In Detroit. The Detroit Municipal League has adopted a platform consisting ot the fol lowing specific objects for which its spe cial effort was pledged: "First, a primary election Hw which shall enable the voters joi all political pir ties or political organizations to make nominations by a. direct vote with pro vision as to secrecy and other safeguards as efficient as those now provided In the Australian ballot system. "Second, such constitutional amendment and legislative enactments 'as will give the city permanent control ot Its internal affairs. Third, such amendment of the election laws applicable- to Detroit as shall pro vide for tbe,electlon of all city officials at me regular Dienmat Apni eiccuon re quired by the constitution, thus sepirat- lng city elections from state and National elections, and affording opportunity for settling municipal affairs and Issues on their merits. "Fourth, such amendment of the city ! charter as shall provide civil service rules. with efficient means for the enforcement of such rales. Recent results ore encouraging. It his been 'our purpose to arouse the candid, honest, fair-minded citizen to an active realization that good municipal govern ment is to be obtained only as a result of, patient, intelligent and persistent effort' by the masses ot the people." F. J. Slmms. president of the Mer. chants' Association ot San Frmclsco, was on the programme to speak on the Cali fornia municipal situation. Mr. simms was unable to attend, but sent his paper to the secretary. 'and It was read, being in part as follows: ' Aew Charter In San Francisco, The celebrated new chirter of San Francisco Is now three years and three months old. The charter was a very rad ical Instrument, Its radicalism had four Important points of departure from the old order, besides the minor ones. First, It sought to centralize power In the Mayor; second. It sought to check him In the use of this power by the most far-reaching civil service laws ot any American city; third, it declared a purpose to acquire public utilities, and. fourth, it provided for the operation of initiative and refer endum In order to facilitate the acquis! tlon of public utilities and prevent the bartering away of franchises dishonestly. Our charter has its defects, some ot which we shall always have to endure, some of which are susceptible of being amended away; under it the possibilities of harm to the city, if the Mayoralty is permitted to fall into bad hands, are greatly enlarged, and this may bring our citizens to a realization of the importance of nonpartisan action In local politics In order to secure good men In office. Terms of office are too short, but it is largely the fault of the state constitution, with Its tenure-of-offlce clause. No new public utilities have been ac quired In San Francisco. Schemes of great Improvement that could only be carried out by having the municipality buy some tract of Und, change Its char acter and sell it in Its altered form can not be executed, because land once pur chased by' the city cannot be soldi Tet. In suite or .these facts, the charter has been .working; In a manner, fairly, satisfac tory to the- conservative mass or tne people-. Some ot the evils ot boedsm hive been checked, though politicians are sou fighting the' reform of the civil lervtco. While municipal conditions In can. Francisco are tar better than they were before the adoption of the charter, there," anil much to be desired, and some dan- i ger of a relapse. The present programme of Improvement, is a good one. It we j can sustain the awakened public Interest I In the city as a city and prevent the 1 government falling Into the hands ot po- I lltlcal schemers, much may be done." W. A.

Vattmann, chaplain of the Twenty-ninth Infantry. bad an Important conference today con cerning affairs In the Philippines. While both parties to the conference were reti cent as to details, it Is known that it re lated to the friar question and to the atti tude, of, the Catholic church toward uie Americanizing ot tne isianas. Chaplain Vattmann has been grantee by the War Department a leave of ab sence for six months, with permission to visit Europe. He left today for Fort Sher idan.

More than a year ago. with the knowledge and consent of this Government, Chaplain Vattmann was directed by the authorities of the Catholic church In the United States to make a thorough Investigation bt church questions In the Philippines and to report his findings and conclusions to the Catholic hierarchy. This report was submitted to the arch bishops at their annual meeting yesterday. As Indicated by the Associated Press last night, the Philippine question was dis cussed fully by the archbishops, practical ly to the exclusion of other matters. The report of Chiplain Vattman was not made public and may not be for some time. Those cognizant of Its contents manifest reticence In discussing It. It is known, however, that it covers ex haustively all phases of Catholic church questions in the Philippines, including the friar question, and the result of what is popularly known as the "Agllpay move ment." Agllpoy Is an Insurgent priest who practically has renounced the au thority of the Church of Rome and has organized what he terms the "Philippine Catholic church.
