FRAUD IS CHARGED
House Members Alleged to Be
Wrongly Recorded on Vote.
TEXAS REPRESENTATIVE SORE
Hi
Poll Was Taken on Question of Re
taining Southern R. R. Subsidy in
P. 0. Department Appro
priation Bill Won.
Washington. .April lo. fraud is
claimed to have been committed Sat
urday in the recording of the vote in
favor of retaining the Southern Rail-
y subsidy, in the postotTice depart
ment appropriation bill. The suspen-
ion was not disclosed vesterdav when
the house met and a further investiga
tion made by those who opposed the
subsidy is expected to derelop the fact,
as to whether the action of the clerk
in recording member in favor of the
subsidy who were not present was in
tentional or simply a "mistake." The
vote yesterday stood 99 for the sub
sidy to 66 for its expulsion from the
measure.
Todav Mr. Stevens, Democrat, of
Texas declared that he was absent yes
terdav and that his vote recorded for
the subsidy was an outrage upon him.
Immediately thereafter Mr. Steenerson
Republican of Minnesota, one of the
anti-subsidy Republicans, declared that
the vote in favor of the Southern bene
fit charged to Mr. IIdge, Republican
of Iowa was an error.
"Mr. Hedge was not present yester-
lay," he declared. "When his name was
called the clerk announced him in the
negative on the motion to recommit the
bill and strike out the provisions for the
sub-illy. I protested then, and the clerk
told me that the record was changed. Ij
see today, however, that Mr. JTedfjc i
r-eorded." !
Both the Votes of Messrs. Steenerson j
and Hedge were expunged. This action
leaves the subsidy advocates with but
one majority. A request to have a
recapitulation of the vote was immedi
ately denied by Representative Uver
strcet of Indiana, chairman of the com
mittee, who was one of the principal
advocates of the Southern subsidy.

there are still six points between them.
That lead will be overcome in time

Rheumatism Makes Life Miserable..
A happy home is the most valuable
possession that is within the reach of
mankind, but you cannot enjoy its com
forts if you are suffering from rheuma
tism. You throw aside business cares
when you enter your home and you can
be relieved from those rheumatic pains
also by applying Chamberlain's Pain
Balm. One application will give you re
lief and its continued use for a short
time will bring about a permanent cure.

Rev, Mr. Rydiitist of the First Luth
eran church spoke on the theme: ''Hat
ter Dawning'' from which sciinon we
give a few gleanings.
Dawn is the herald of day. Before it
.the shades of night Hoc. And when
finally the sun beams in his iimi n tny
glory all nature rejoices. What a power
of transformation is not vested in the
sun ray? What iultueiiee of the light
UHui nature and man? We me glad
to note that so many are helping the
sun rays in their work of transforma
tion in our city. May this also he the
dawning of a new dav and it brighter
future for Astoria.
"The first Kaster dawning must have
Wen beautiful. When all nature was
troubled at the agonv and death of the
I.ord how much more did not a thrill of
joy pass through the great heart of crc
a tion at his rising, at the new uianifcs.
tation of life and power.
In speaking of Kaster Pawning we
wish to dwell especially on the spirit
al figu our theme presents. There are
many forms of spiritual darkness. The
evil one is called the prince of darkness
When he can plunge a soul into the
darkness of sin and unbelief who blind
ly rushes towards certain ruin then he
wrings his hands in satanic glee. Rut
what unspeakable joy itmong the host
of light when dawn appears.) Was man
before the darkness, fallen, dead in t res-
pases and sin, so he shall rise and live
by the power of that light. Thus is
the iVMirection of Christ spiritually re
newed in every soul that turns from
darkness to light. This light tdiall en-
crease in brightness and not fade into
twilight. This new life shall develop
and grow into the likeness of Christ.
In one of our favorite hymns we sing
"There is hope lieyond the shadow,
there is hop beyond the vale." This is
Eatcr dawning indeed. The most mis
erable life is worth living, for by tin
light of this hope we are assured that
it is better up yonder. As the sun ray
can lie captured in its (light by means
of light, so hope is a light from heaven
to tell its wonderful story of the source
of light, so sope is a light from heaven
tilling the wonderful story of light
and life beyond the bounds of time.
There are many other forms of dark
ness to lie dispelled, the darkness of
ignorance for instance. We boast of
being American citizens, why? Is it
because we have lieen bom and raised
here? No, that alone does not make us
better. The "reatest scoundrel and ig
noramus might be an American. But.
we make our boast from the greater an-!
vantages offered to us religiou-ly, mtc
lectually, and socially. There is no ex
cuse what ever to day for a lack of edu
cation. Common education is within
the reach of all, and a higher education
can be had by an one who strives for it.
We are new as a nation and as vet ex
perimenting, but our beginning is the
dawning of a bright future.
Last evening there was a crowded hous
at the Sunday School cxeicj.es, an es
pecially fine program was rendered. The
music both vocal and instrumental was
the predominating feature. Over a hun

ies made up the floral decorations.

mit recommendation,
As on all previous occasions when the
tiould people have applied for privileges
Deputy District Attorney Phil WttMi,
who, with Distort Attorney .1. J, Allen
represents the Southern I'.icille Company
was on hand with objections, Walsh
wanted action delayed on the ground
thai the uhlinniitv 'granting the fran
chise did not contain a suitable pro
vision for proper and sate appliances
at the crossings, Attorney Charles K.
Snook, on ladinlf of the Western Pa
rille. urged immediate action, saving
that the provisions could easily be in
corporated in the ordinance, but Coun
cilman Haceaus preferred to delay tin)
matter in accordance with Walsh's wish.
Attorney Snook urged that the South-,
em Pacilic's objections lie put in writing
and he thought that the Soul hem I'a
citle should have had its data on hand,
''We do not want to be inviised again
of trying to block the Western I'acilie,"
said Attorney Walsh.
"You haven't blocked us yet," replied
Snook, again contending that there was
no reasonable excuse for delay,
. The application however, was sent
