City .Detective Brackett ran upon the case while making his rounds of the pawjishops, where he found a small diamond ring pawned Tuesday night by the girl. The pawnbroker supposed she was a young man, but remarked upon her effeminate appearance to his clerk. The girl took the ring from her finger when she gave it in exchange for $10. Shortly afterward a telegram from .the father of the pair reached head quarters. The ring bore the Initials "B. A." L. CI. Armstrong, the father of the twins, reached Des Moines at 11:30 o'clock. He was taken directlj- to the matron's room, where the penitent maid fell into his arms and poured forth her story of adventure. -CV-.-.-2 vr ait J y .av i-s j-1 n mm. ira v a r H5 lessened in cost m' and increased m Presbyterians' Judicial Com mittee Ends Hearings, but Withholds Suggestions. in quality and vviiolesomeness, by CHURCH TENETS DOUBTED f , r-,, t.in,. :n.iiw, ,, i w , , it ir iii iii ft my hi mi m i,i Mja;jv.--auua.,,.ivia...- i j OFFICIAL ROUTE l S f4' ' OkDETROIT jj ; s -M&S05ssM - ft . - ; ,!

John Dlnsmore, of California, chairman of the committee. Intimated the report misht be given to the assembly tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. "We are pledged to the strictest secre cy," he said. A minority of the New York Presby tery is protesting to the assembly against the action of the Presbytery of New York City in licensing Steen, Black and Fitch, students of the Union Theological Semi nary of New York, after they had ad mitted they did not believe in the Virgin birth of Jesus Christ, the raising of Laz arus from the tomb and certain Biblical miracles. The 7:!d annual report of the Board of Foreign Missions was presented to the assembly today. The time of adjournment of (he assem bly now hinges upon the heresy report. All routine business has been cleared up. The last session may be Saturday after noon, although there is a possibility the com ention may last until Monday. The general assembly was torn with Oissension over the efforts of Homer Castle, tho recent Prohibition nominee for Governor of Pennsylvania, to force the adoption of a resolution to declare it self politically against the liquor traf fic. It was declared by the excited commis sioners this was an effort to put the Presbyterian Church in the political arena. As amended finally the resolu tion Is in a modified form eliminating the political reference. Kev. A. J. Brown, secretary of the Board of Foreign Missions, reported, "The worst men in the Far Kast are not the natives, but the dissolute white men.

P1HCH0T HELD TO BLAME ri:i!SO..LITV VX FORTUNATE FOR CONSERVATION' PLANS. Eleetric l.ijilit Association Discusses Power Development Employes' Education Is Favored. ST. LOIIS, May 27. The Mississippi Hiver had its inning this morning at the National Klectric Light Association con vention. John Hunter, of St. Louis, told the delegates that there were great pos sibilities in "The Father of Waters." "If President Taft will call in men trained in the school of responsibility who have carried on the development work of the country, he will -find that true conservation niflins something more than publicity to fictitious stories, re strictions to development, the closing of public lands to production of farm products and the petty bickering and mud-flinging of public officials," said Henry L. Doherty, of New York, today. 'I think it was a mistake for Mr. Pincliot to adopt a subterfuge to with diaw many water power sites from en try. Unfortunately, our whole conserva tion movement became embodied in the personality of one man and those who could not agree with his intolerant opin ions have been denounced as traitors to the public cause." Doherty advocated turning coal Into a nitrogenous fertilizer and using it to en rich the land. Education of the employes of electrical linn?, especially those connected with public service corporations, was discussed at the afternoon svssion. The general consensus was that the employe who re ceives complaints should be instructed to treat the dissatisfied customer even better than the prospective one. Looking toward the day when elec tricity shall be the servant of the farmer, as it is now of the manufacturer, Her man Russell, of Rochester, N. Y., spoke of the use of electricity in irrigation of farm lands. He said in part: SpeakinK from the point of view of an Kastein lurmer.

COLLEGE LOVERS FLY FAST Secret Marriage Followed by Hur ried Auto Trip Wlicn News Leaks. SPOKANE. Wash.. May 27. (Special) A college romance of long standing, discovery lay their college friends and a thrilling getaway from Pullman in an automobile last evening, en route to the home of the bride"? parents in Grange ville, are now incidents in the lives of Mr. and Mrs. Robert B. Phillips, both of whom were yesterday students at t".ie "Washington State College. The bride is Mis Cora Holt. The romance, which culminated in a secret marriage last Sunday at Colfax, by Rev. T. "V.

Wash.. May 27. (Spe cial.) As a result of the visit of A. L. Paine, of the National Lumber & Box Company and N. J. Blagen, of the Grays Harbor Lumber Company, to California last week, the Southern market has broken to the extent that San Pedro buyers have placed an order for 25,000, 000 feet of lumber on Grays Harbor, subject to delivery in four months. This is taken as an indication that San Francisco buyers will soon follow suit, due to the inability of Portland and Puget Sound mills to supply the southern men at their price of The price for the San Pedro purchase is about $375,000, or at the rate of J15, which harbor millmen established at the first of the year. ."There are many reasons why the Cali fornia buyers take the product of the Grays Harbor mills in preference to that of Portland and" Puget Sound," said Mr. Payne today. "The lumber manufactured here is of better grade, has fewer knots, is smoother and finer timber. Another reason is that Columhia River mills cut for the foreign market and use California as a dumping ground for the poorer stock. Our mills get a larger percentage of clear lumber out of logs and handle orders with more dispatch than the other Northwest mills. "The present log situation here Is not alarming The closing- down of the camps is an excellent thing. With a readjust ment following the new orders coming in, new life will be instilled which will mean a resumption of work later in the camps." The order comes In time to hold up a price which was showing signs of weaken ing. All of the mills have large sup plies of logs on hand and most of the logging camps will close down June 1, which will also tend to keep lumber prices up.

The speaker was in his best vein TTe .covered a wide range of topics, from luuLuan ana lions to good citizenship and the strenuous life.

The address was made at the head quarters of the Cambridge Union So ciety, where the ex-President went after the conferring upon him by the University of Cambridge of the degree of Doctor of Laws.

When the vice-chancellor referred to the university's guest as "a friend of peace and a friend of the human race, whose fame is attested by all Europe," there was a roar of approval. Following- tlie exercises, Mr. Roose velt visited King's College and . the famous chapel, after which he went to Trinity College, where he had tea with Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Butler. Later he visited" the headquarters of the Cam bridge Union Society, of which he had been elected an. honorary member.
