jBRIAND'S FEELINGS HURT
Threatens to Resign When Clemen
ceau Criticises Him, but Is Mol
lified by Apology Chamber
Passes Public Meetings Bill.
' PARIS, Jan. 30. T-he Chamber of Depu
ties this evening concluded the discussion
or and adopted public meetings bill by
' a vote of 560 to 6. During the debate,
-Minister of Kducation Briand left the
Chamber and threatened to resign. This
came about because M. Clemenceau, the
Premier, during a reply to crlti-
. eisms voiced by M. Jaures, the
e Socialist leader, on wtiat he termed the
("present Imbroglio," admitted that Inco
herence existed, but said he, the Premier,
although not responsible therefor. jn
tended to stand by his colleagues. M.
' Briand thereupon retired to the lobby,
', fully determined to give up his port-
folio.
After repeated efforts by his colleagues,
. M. Briand consented to reconsider his lie-
clsion and he finally returned to the Cham
ber with M. Clemenceau. The Premier
expressed regrets from the tribune for
what he called a pure slip of the tongue
and declared that he regarded M. Briand
as Indispensable for the carrying out of
the great reform undertaken by the gov
ernment. Resumption of debate afforded
the Premier opportunity to make a fur
ther explanation of the government's atti
tude In th matter of the bishops', declar
ation, which he designated as "an inso-
lent ultimatum." "If the . episcopate,"
4 he said, "considers this a basis for ne
gotiations; we do not respond. The
; bishops will not obtain anything beyond
the common law. We -will not concede
v anything, but we will hold the line of
' battle with unexhausted resources."
The public meetings bill consists ot four
'. sections. The first authorizes meetings
without previous declaration of inten
' tlon; the second repeals the restriction
contained In the acts of 1881, 1905 and 1907;
the third Instructs the Mayors of Prance
. to place the existing meeting places at
' the disposal of the public; and the fourth
; holds the organizers of meetings respon-
; Bible for damage. The law A'ill become
operative as soon as it passes the Sen
ate. , TAKES FRANCE BY SUItPKISE

eome coDfuelon esc Ists as to wh at course'
to adopt. "While the ofCband reraarlus of
Minister of Education Briand in the
Chamber of Deputies last night that the
condlllona proponed were unacceptable
do not necBsarlly exclude the pos'siblllty
of a compromise, the attitude of the ex
treme radicals, who are incensed at the
peremptory tone of the communication
and at the dlspatcnes from Rome report
ing the Vatican as being determined, un
less the bishops' proposal Is Immediately
adopted, to order the pariah priests to
leave their churches and suspend wor
ship, greatly embarrasses the Moderates.
..The latter believe that the government,
having accomplished the separation of
the cburc.b and state, can afford to ac
cept any definite solution of the dllTlcul-

Vatican Funds Kunnlng Low.
'.I - !
ROME. Jan. 20. Complaint is made
at the Vatican regarding? the. reports
that have become current to the effect
that- large offerings ,jf Peter's . pence
are pouring In from all parts of the
world. It Is stated that the reports are
spread by persons evilly disposed, with
a view of discouraging the faithful
rom sending money to the fund.
Far from having a surplus. It Is stat
ed this fund is diminishing, and this
,1s a serious matter Just now when the
need of money Is Increasing.
VOTE ON SM00T AT LAST
Senate Agrees to End. Controversy
ind Smoot Is Ready.
WASHINGTON, Jan. SO. The Senate
has agreed to vote on the resolution de-
daring Senator Smoot not entitled to his
eeat at 4 o'clock Wednesday, February 20-
t Senator Burrows presentee! the proposi
tion to -vote In the- form of a resolution
Whictl provided that the resolution de
'clarlns Senator Smoot not entitled to a
eeat in the Senate shall be taken up for
consideration immediately after the morn
ing business on February 20. "And that
at 4 o'clock on said day the Senate shall
proceed to vote on any amendments, and
then upon the resolution itself without
further dabate."
Senator Allison objected on the ground
that considering the present condition of
Senate business a whole day ought not to
tie given up to this matter.
Mr. Smoot,' the subject of the resolu
tion, expressed the hope that the objec
tion would be withdrawn. "Personally,"
he continued. "I should like to have a
vote on- this matter, and will be only too
pleased to have It at an early day. I
would further state that rather than take
any further time of the Senate, if an early
. day will suit the Senate. I will be perfect
ly willing to have It come to a vote with
out further discussion. But I do hope
that the Senator will withdraw his ob
jection. - ' -
Senator Dubois urged the same action,
and after it was explained that the reso
lution doubtless would be discussed prior
to the date mentioned, Mr. Allison with
drew his objection, and the order was
agreed to as suggested by Senator Bur-

MAKE PACKERS PAY THE COST
Beverldge Says They ITse Govern
ment Inspection as Advertising.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30. Senator
Peverldgre today Inquired of Senator
Proctor, chairman of the committee on
agriculture, when a report might be
expected on the bill placing the cost
of meat inspection on the packers.
Beverldare held up a larare number
of newspaper advertisements of meat
products in which Government inspec
tion was made the guarantee of purity,
and remarked that last year Senator
Proctor had said the inspection would
be worth millions a year to the pack
ers as an advertisement. "And," con
tinued Beverldge. "we are giving them
$3,000,000 a year besides."
Proctor said he had understood it to
be the intention to incorporate the in
spection bill in the agricultural appro
priation bill as an amendment, but
that, if separate action was desired,
the committee wonld take up the
question.
Hard to Find Good Consuls.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30. The first of
the examinations for the consular ser
vice under the new rules laid down by
Secretary Root has been fixed for
March 14. and the result is awaited
with a good deal of anxiety by per-
sons Interested In the development of
the consular service on civil service
lines. The trouble lies Jn the diffi
culty of finding; applicants properly
equipped technically with the nec
essary knowledge of two or more lan
guages and at the same time possess
ing an acquaintance with worldly af
fairs and business methods likely to
make them good consuls.
May File on Non-Timbered iand.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30. The Senate
committee on public lands today au
thorized a favorable report on a bill
allowing holders of forest reserve
scrip, which was invalidated because
of the repeal of the forest reserve lieu
section law, to select other non-timbered
land. The Secretary of the In

acres are involved.

CONTRACTS NULL AND VOID
I 111 l,tlolftila. Judge Knocks ' Out
Claims of Grafting King.
PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 30. Judare
Beltler tonight banded down a decision in
the suits of the city against the firm of
J: M. McNIchol & Co., to recover $5000,
which it was alleged had been fraudulent
ly received by the firm on contracts for
the construction of the city's filtration
plant. The members of the firm at the
time the original contracts were awarded
were Mrs. McNIchol, wife of State Sena
tor James P. McNichol: Israel M. Dur
ham, the Republican leader: John M.
Mack, and t. J. McNIchol. Sixteen con
tracts amounting to about $10,000,000 were
Involved.
Judge Beltler declares null and void
five contracts aggregating $2,745,462 which
were awarded at the time Senator Mc-
Nlchol was a member of Councils, which
body ratified the contracts. He decides
that they were obtained illegally, sustain
ing the contention of the city that Mrs.
McNIchol and D. J. McNIchol were never
more than figureheads In the firm. The
court decided the five contracts were
wrongfully obtained and Instructs the
contractors to make an accounting to
the city of the actual cost of material
and work done on these contracts and to
refund to the city any profit.
Five other contracts for a total of $1,-
300.000 were sustained and six were not
ruled on, having been already fulfilled by
the contractor.
OPEN SIOUX RESERVATION
Agreement to Buy Nearly 1,000,000
Acres on Rosebud Trnct.
NORFOLK, Neb., Jan. 30,-The Dally
News says that Indian Inspector. Mo
IjauKhlln. of Washington. has Just
secured an agreement with the Rosebud
Sioux Indians for the throwing open by
the Federal Government of nearly 1,000.000
acres of land in Tjrapp County, South
Dakota, as soon as details can be at
tended to. The Indians .are to receive
$fi per acre for land taken by settlers
during the first three months, $4.50 for
that taken during the next four months
and $2.60 after that. Including school
land. All Indian children born within the
past eight years are to receive allotments.
This allotting will require about a year.
All land untaken after four years will be
auctioned oft to the highest cash bid
ders. The opening will be conducted similarly
to that of the Gregory County lands.
There are 1,094,000 acres of reservation
land in the county, which will be re
duced to about 700.000, it is estimated,
when Indian allotments are extracted. ,

Eleven Jurors Secured for
Trial of Thaw.
STATE MAY OPEN TODAY
Prosecution's Evidence Will Be
Short and Defense Will Bring
Out Story of Crime Stress
Is r,aid on Insanity.
NEW YORK, Jan. 30. There was hut
a Blngle vacant chair in the Thaw jury
box when court .adjourned today and it
Is expected that tomorrow afternoon at
the latest Distrlot Attorney. Jerome will
begin his opening address to a com
pleted jury. Then the defendant, his
wife and all the members of his family
who are able to be In court must listen
.to the story of the roof garden tragedy,
told in all Its dramatic detail and as im
pressively as lies within the power of
the people's officer to portray.
Just how far back he will delve into
the history of the principals in the fa-
mous case no one but Mr. Jerome knows.
He has not related the plans of his open
ing address to anyone, though it has
been intimated authoritatively that the di
rect evidence of the prosecution will be
of the briefest possible character, deal
ing only with the incidents leading up
to the kUllne and the story of the trage
dy Itself as seen by eye-witnesses. One
or two witnesses may be heard as to the
alleged motive for the crime. It re
mains for the defense to open the way
to testimony . which has to do with any
relations which may have existed be
tween Stanford White and Evelyn. Xes-
bit prior to the slaying of the architect.
Thaw's attorneys probably will not reply
to Mr. Jerome tomorrow, reserving their
opening until the state has finished.
Two More Jurors Secured.
Two Jurors were assigned to the trial
panel today,, making 11 in all. In an
effort to complete the Jury the attorneys
exhausted the second special panel of-
talesmen summoned for the trial. A new
panel of 100 was ordered and will be in
court tomorrow morning. The twelfth
Juror will be chosen from the new list
and should be in the box before recess.
Sixty-five talesmen were examined today,
breaking all records of the trial thus
far. The highest number on any previous
day was 51.
Harry C. Brearley, an advertising agent,
was the first talesman to qualify. He
took the place made vacant by the dropping-
out of Harold It. Faire yesterday.
Mr. Brearley toM the attorneys for the
defense that he had no prejudice what
soever against a plea of insanity and
that in Judging such a plea he 'would be
arulded by the principle of allowing- the
defendant the advantage ol every rea
sonable doubt.
The afternoon Juror, Henry I. K l,'!n
berger. a ellk merchant, said be knew
very little about the subject of insanity
and would have to be guided by the In-
strucrtlons of the court in arriving at a
conclusion on such & plea. Mo did not
t"nh -bis Judgment would be unduly
swayed by sympathy or emotion.
Signs of Insanity Plea.
Tiie manner In which Thaw'i attornevg
continued to dwell upon the subject "of.
insanity In' their examination of various
talesmen seemed to Indicate that a plea
of temporary insanity, which would -be
a legal defunse, will eventually be en
tered. In developing this plea that Thaw
was insane at trie time of the tragedy,
the defendant's attorneys may bring in
such details as they and the prisoner
believe will influence the sympathy of
the men who may have an undefined be
lief in the so-called "unwritten law."
There is much speculation as to what
course Mr. Jerome will pursue if Thaw's
counsel begin to develop their plea of
temporary insanity. He is prepared to
combat th proceedings to an abrupt
halt and apply lor the appointment of a
commission to decide whether or not
the defendant is insane at the present
time. Or he may let the matter be
fought out in open court, expert for ex
pert. In that event the trial will drag
out to e. great length.
Two Thaw Women Absent.
Xeither Mrs. William Thaw, the prison
er's mother, nor his sister, the Countess
of Yarmouth, was in court today. The
day opened stormy after a heavy snow
fall, and, as both Mrs. Thaw and the
Countess are nursing colds, they decided
not to risk their health today by being
in court during the dull process of se
lecting a Jury.
Tell the newspaper men," Thaw said
tojjne of his counsel, "that I advised my
mother and both my sisters to stay at
home today and take care of them
selves." Mrs. Carnegie disobeyed the Injunction,
however, and was present. Jfivelyn Xes
blt Thaw and her companion, Atlas May
McKenzie, were early in the courtroom.
Thaw passed an uneasy night, and was
especially annoyed by the excusing of
Harold Falre, the broker, who had made
a good Impression on lilm.
Newspaper Artists Shut Out.
Justice Fitzgerald announced through
the court officers that no more sketches
should l made during the trial. Art-
Ists from must of the principal Eastern
ci t lea have bee n in cou rt f r o m day to
day, and have not been restricted In any
way whatever.
There was a wild Btory going the
rounds of the Criminal Court building
today to " the effect that there waj? a
fund of $100,000 for use in corrupting- a
juror. It was given no credence what
ever In any responsible quarters. For
the first time talesmen called today were
asked if they had been approached by
anyone In connection with the case since
being summoned. All replied, "No."

Work in Slums and Farms.
And the Army does still more things
than I have named. It is cioi n nr a jarrand
settlement vork In the slums of the
large cities. A body of women In plain
gingham dresses and aprons wllj rent
& room in the worst tenement hous
they nan rind, clear, it up, put In sim
ple furniture and then begin to "nelsrh-
bbr" amontr the Dltltul people about
'them. They nurse the sick, teach the
wen better . ways or livings cortaucc
sewing and cooking claaaea, plan fresh
air excursions for the little ones, talce
care of neglected children whose
mothers are away at work and shroud
the dead. This Is one way of usinsr
the dime you put In the tambourine.
But there are still other things they
do with it.
The Army owns nearly 3000 acres of
farm land, divided into colonies at
Fort Romle, Cal.; Kort Amity, Colo.:
and Fort Herrick, O. The settlement
workers In the slums gather up fam
ilies who are having a hard time of
it and encourage them to make "a new
try at life in the open air. The family
is settled on a good piece of land with
the privilege -of baying it later. Many
of those located In this unique way
are making money as chicken-raisers,
truckgardeners. etc. Think of the boon
it Is to famished children who have
known only the crowded, stifling con-
dltions of tenement life, to be in the
open air with green Rrass under their
feet, and birds elngins in the . trees
above them. Don't be atlntry with

work. This woman - was the wife of
William Booth, and their first service
was held in an old tent In a burylng-
gronnd in Whitoohapel, London, on
Sunday. July 2, 1K6&.
Commander Ballington Booth, son of
General Booth, left the Salvation Army
shortly after he came to the United States
to organize a similar work under the
name of Volunteers of America. His wife
was Miss Maude Cliarleswonn, a womiin
of artlstocratlc family and excellent edu
cation, who left a luxurious home to be
come a worker in the rankx. Once In
Sweden she wished, to attract the students
of the University of Upsala to her meet-
Ings. They were a ribald set. eager for
some new sport, and she knew if an" ap
peal were made direct to them they would
doubtless either come and break up her
meetings or not come at all. So she
skillfully worded the big invitation post
ers In Itin and had them placed con
spicuously over the city. It was a tribute
to the learning of the students and caught
their fancy at once. As a result 1G0O of
the 2000 students attended the meeting
and gave her an orderly, respectful hear
ing. Pioneers of Salvation.
A much different method was that
adopted by a young girl in Iondon. This
worker had been converted from the
slums and wanted to reach the people
of her class, even at the expense of her
own dignity. She artayed herself In ec
centric style, with streamers of varied
hues floating from her dress and hair,
and carried a large placard which read:
"I Am Happy Eliza." She paraded the
streets and alleys of the poorer quarters
and soon had an immense crowd f oliow
lng her, many of them old friends and
associates, sne of courBe lea them to
the gospel meeting-house, where they
heard the music and the sermon.
T lie pioneers In the work of tne Balva-
tlon Army In America were one commis-
sloner and a parly of six gil'lS, who were
sent over by General Booth In 1879. One
member of this party, Adjutant Klla.
Weatbrook, Is still living. The first ser-
vice In America was held In an om chair
factory in Philadelphia. Commander
Booth Tucker, one of the hlarhest officers
of the Army, was a Judfre on the Queen's
bench In India. He received by chance
a copy of the War Cry. He rrad ft and
applied for six months leave of absence.
He went to London, where he visited
General Booth and saw the operations of
the Army In its campaign against vice.
