WHOLE SOUTH GOING DRY
I'eartng Presidential Vetoes, Some
Dry Propose Rider to Appro
priation Bill Race Question
Strengthens Dry' Element.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 4. (Special.)
There Is going to be a lively time over
the liquor question In "Washington the
coming Winter. The enemies of Btrong
drink from East. "West, North and
Bouth are preparing to storm the city
when Congress meets. with the
avowed Intention of making the cap
ltal of the Nation aa dry as a chip.
The regular inhabitants of the city,
who have no actual voice in municipal
affairs, are just waking up to what Is
In store and are regarding the pros
pective army of invaders with varying
emotions.
Think of one of the world'.s greatest
capitals as an alcoholic Sahara, more
barren as to malt, vinous or spirituous
liquor than the great African desert as
to water! "Impossible" would have
been the comment on such a proposi
tion a very few years ago. But the
W. C. T. U., the Anti-Saloon League
and other prohibition forces In various
states, enthused by the . prohibitory
wave that recently has swept large
sections of the country, have selected
the political and social center of the
United States as the next field of op
erations. Will Offer Prohibition Bill.
"Word reached here today that Rep
resentative Craig, of Selma, Ala., pro
poses to Introduce a bill at the begin
ning of Congress providing for the ab
solute prohibition of the sale of all
alcoholic drink In the District of Co
lumbia. Coincident with this, the local
Personal Liberty League, embracing
the liquor Interests, la reported to have
received information that more prac
tical anti-drink workers, believing
President Roosevelt would veto a
straight-out prohibition bill, are plan
ning to prevent defeat of their scheme
by hitching a prohibitory clause to an
Important appropriation bill as a rider.
There Is sure to be a big lobby on hand
in any event and a good deal of serious
("peculation Is arising as to whether there
is likely to be a repetition of the situation
that forced the passage of the anti-can-
I teen law some years ago. It is especial
ly worthy of note that the new prohibi
tion move which seeks to make Washlng
ton a dry town comes at the same time
that a vigorous campaign is being organ
lied for the re-establishment of the Army
canteen. Its abolition. In the oslnlon of
those who have practical knowledge of
present and past 'conditions. having
worked more harm than good.
May Pass Lower House.
If an out-and-out prohibition measure
were reported and brought to a direct
vote in Congress at this particular time
the result would be a matter of sufficient
doubt to render prediction difficult. In
the lower house, especially, the measure
would stand a very good show of passage.
Not so many years ago the Democratic
party and the prohibition Idea were as
far apart as the antipodes and such vir
tue, from the viewpoint of the prohibition
reformer, as existed In either of the old
parties was only to be looked for among
Republicans. A great chance has come
and now we see here, there and all
around, prohibition, local option and high
license politically tied to the coattails of
old Miss Democracy.
Whole South for Prohibition.
The whole South Is going hell-bent for
prohibition," declared one of the foremost
among the Democratic leaders in Con
gress "and while we Democrats did not
lo much to help you fellows out of your
hole when the canteen bill was up (he
was talking to a Republican member of
Congress) I believe we might Join in now
on a bill to prohibit the liquor traffic at
the Capital."
The member quoted was not Indulging
in altogether Idle talk either. Prohibition
is extending everywhere in the Demo
cratic South and keen observers believe it
will soon bo absolute throughout that
section. Oeorpia has gone dry; Alabama
is practically dry under the county option
law; Kentucky, the home of whisky and
the whisky-drinkers of fablo and song,
has county option and many dry counties;
Mississippi is almost completely low
license; Texas Is practically a dry state,
and the movement has only begun.
Rare Question at Bottom of It.
Southern politicians declare the negro
question is at the bottom of prohibition In
the South. They say the Atlanta riot a
year or so ago gave the movement a great
Impetus, the part that red liquor played
In the murders at the Georgia capital hav
ing excited the alarm of citizens near and
far.
Oklahoma furnishes a striking example
of the practical coalition of the Demo
cratic party and prohibition elements for
purely political purposes under the re
markable change in the situation that
has come within a few years.
MORMONS ARE EXPELLED
Germany Forbids Propaganda as
Contrary to Morals.
DRESDEN, Saxony, Oct. 4. Three
American Mormons have been expelled
from Germany as the result of persist
ing, despite final warnings prohibiting
them from spreading their propaganda,
in conducting river baptisms and mak
ing converts. They were arrested and
summarily taken under guard to the fron
tier. The imperial authorities decided in 1908
that it was not desirable to allow Mor
mon agents to continue their activity in
Germany, but owing to the representa
tions of the American Embassy in Ber
lin, and of Chief Missionary Cannon,
whose field of activity was Central Eu
rope, with headquarters at Berlin, the
Foreign Office allowed the Mormons a
month In which to settle their affairs
and leave the country. There were at one
time 60 or more missionaries in the vari
ous states in Germany and the grounds for
their expulsion were teachings contrary
to public morality. It was also agreed
witli Mr. Ce.nnon that all the Mormons
who were American citizens should dis
continue presenting their doctrines in
Germany. The German converts, of
whom there were thousands and who con
tinued to follow their faith under native
pastors, were subjected to various police
hindrance. Mr. Cannon moved his cen
TACOMA. "Wash., Oct. 4. (Special.)
The synod of Washington met in the
First Presbyterian Church today. The
devotional exercises were conducted by
Rev. Alexander Sutherland. A number
of distinguished visitors were present and
invited to seats as corresponding mem
bers, including Rev. G. L. Tufts, D. D.,
of the National Reform Bureau, "Wash
ington. D. C. and W. S. Holt, D. D., of
Portland. General Superintendent of
Home Missions for the Pacific Coast.
The moderator announced the following
standing committees: Overtures Rev. S.
M. "Ware, D. D., W. A. Major, D. D., B.
A. McDonald; judiciary F. S. Strange,
D. D.; minutes of general assembly Rev.
A. "W. Smyth; resolution Rev. J. R. Mc
carty. Rev. S. M. "Ware, D. D.. of Spokane,
submitted the report of the permanent
committee on systematic beneficence. -
The Rev. D. O. Shounley. D. D., synodl
cat" superintendent of Home Missions,
stated that in his opinion, after a careful
consideration of the conditions that the
board of Home Missions must sooner or
later Increase the salary of all missiona
ries so that the minimum salary would be
$1000.
An effort to change the date of the an
nual meeting of the Presbyterian synod of
Washington resulted In an Interesting dis
cussion between city ministers and those
living in the country. The proposition
was submitted by Rev. M.- A. Matthews,
of the First Church of Seattle, and pro
vided that the synod meet on the first
Tuesday in October instead of the first
Thursday. This would do away with the
communion of the delegates on Sunday
morning at the close of the synod. After
several lively debates in which the moder
ators preserved order with difficulty the
proposition was voted down.
MUST CHANGEHER FAITH
Or Gladys Tanderbilt Will Be on
Austrian Blacklist.
NEW YORK. Oct. 4. (Special.) Gladys
Vanderbllt must change her religion next
month when she becomes the bride of
Count Laszio Szechenyl. The "black aris
tocracy" of Vienna has become scandal
ized as a result of the announcement of
the engagement, and unless the young
woman becomes a Ct.tholic the marriage
will not be legally recognized in Austria
proper.
The Count being a Catholic, Miss Van
derbllt will remain Miss Vanderbllt in
Austria unless she changes her rellglan,
although in the bridegroom's country
proper the marriage will be considered
perfectly legal and the young woman's
name will he Inscribed as a full-fledged
Countess on the roster of the Hungarian
nobility. Issue of the marriage of the
Szechenyla would be looked upon as Il
legitimate in Austria, hence the "black
aristocracy" Is convinced that Miss Van
derbllt, In order to gain a standing in
Austria as well as in Hungary must em
brace the Catholic faith, as Anna Gould
did when she- married Count de Caatel
lane. It Is understood, however, that Em
peror Francis Joseph does not share in
the extreme views of the "black aris
tocracy" on marriage, and that, so long
as he lives, he will insist that the Amer
ican woman gets full recognition, the
law notwithstanding. -
But Francis Joseph is a very old man
and his successor, Francis Ferdinand, is
reckoned the power behind the "black
aristocracy." He, on his own part, could
not recognize Miss Vanderbllt's marriage.
Inasmuch as his own marriage to a
woman of the lower nobility. is not rec
ognized, their children bear their
mother's name and are excluded from
succession.
The wedding ceremony, according to
present plans, will be performed next
month in the historic Trinity Church, of
which Cornelius Vanderbllt, Sr., is a
pewholder, and where the j.000,000 No
vember bride Is a constant attendant. At
Its finish there will be a reception at the
Breakers, for which great preparations
have already begun.

Mr. Byington then complained that, al
though Ruef was in the " courtroom all
the time, the defense had no chance to
talk to him. for the reason that the
prosecution's guards were always In hear

At this startling rejoinder the crowd

TROUBLES OF TARBELL
BROTHER OF STANDARD'S NEM
ESIS TEIiS HIS 6TORY.
His Independent Refinery and
Pipeline Fought at Every Step
iy Octopus and Railroads.
NEW YORK. Oct. 4. "W. S. Tarbell,
treasurer ot the Pure OH Company and
the United States Pipe Line Company,
took the witness stand today In the hear
ing of the Government's suit to dissolve
the Standard Oil Company and told oLthe
troubles of his two companies iatfelr
competition with the oil combine. Mr.
Tarbell said the Standard fought the
United States Pipe Line at every step to
prevent it from reaching the seaboard
with its pipe lines.
Mr. Tarbell is a brother of Miss Ida
Tarbell, who has written extensively of
the affairs of the Standard. When the
pipe" line reached Hancock, Pa.. In 1894,
the Brie .Railroad objected to its passage
over the right of way and at Wilkesbarre
the Pennsylvania and Lackawanna Rail
roads tried to prevent the line from pass

Standard Oil Company obtains from every

placed in evidence and Philip Harrison,

SALT TRUST RAISES PRICES
Agrees With Independents and Cuts
Down Production.
NEW YORK, Oct. 4. A tacit under
standing has been "reached between the
International Salt Company, known as
the Bait Trust, and certain Independent
manufacturers in regard to regulating
the' future course of the market for
evaporated salt, according to statements
made in well informed quarters, says the
Journal of Commerce today. This action
was taken. It is said. In consequence of
the higher cost of labor and supplies, aa
well as because of the over-production
ot salt.
As a net result of the understanding
prices have recently been advanced 60
cents to $1 per ton from the low figures
prevailing a month ago, when sharp
price cutting was In progress.
Incidentally a policy of retrenchment
has been Inaugurated and various firms
have reduced their working forces.

HEEDS HEAVENS WARNING
CAPTAIN OF OCEAN ' GREY
HOUND QUITS THE SEA.
Collision With Iceberg Tells Rlchter
of Kronprinr Wilhelm to Stay
Ashore Hereafter.
NEW YORK, Oct. 4. (Special.) Cap
tain August Rlchter, known to thousands
of American ocean travelers, has given
up his command of the North German
Lloyd steamer Kronprln Wilhelm and
quit the sea forever, because, according
to his friends, he was warned by heaven
through the medium of his ship's colli
sion with an iceberg to abandon seafar
ing. Captain. RIchter"s retirement is similar
in its details to the abandonment of sea
faring by his brother Herman, who. after
a collision between his command, the
Saale. and a wayward iceberg In a fog
on the Grand .Banks, nearly 20 years
ago, received what he called an admoni
tion from heaven to give up the sea.
The collision ' which caused Captain
August Rlchter' s decision to quit the sea
for good occurred July 6 last, while
the Kronprins Wilhelm was coming to
this city from Germany, England and
France. He had been in command of the
Kronprins Wilhelm from her maiden
voyage, had been unusually fortunate
with her and had succeeded In establish
ing several cross-sea records with the
ship, which is one of the four great fly
ers of the North German Lloyd.
Captain Rlchter said nothing about re
tiring until he got his ship back to
Bremenhaven. The reaction of a nervous
strain followed and he sent word to the
director-general of the company that he
wanted to relinquish his command.
