The plans for the Christmas services
at the Presbyterian church will be
changed somewhat from that ot form
er years. The sacred concert which
has been given by the quartet and
which has attracted so much attention
in former years, has usually been given
on the Sabbath evening preceeding
Christmas. "This yoar the quartet will
give their concert Sunday morning at
the 11 o'clock hour, Sunday, the 23rd.
The quartet consisting of Miss Ger
trude Parker, soprano; Miss Edna
Stelner, alto, and A. J. MacDonough,
tjanor, and Dr. W. W. Howard, bass, as
sisted In a male trio by Mr. John
Kirkpatrick, bass, have boon practic
ing for sevoral weeks and promisos
some excellent numbers. Mrs. H. E.
Marsh will be at the organ as usual.
The Sunday school entertainment will
be given this year by the pupils of the
junior and Intermediate and senior do
i partments of the school. They will
give a Christmas cantanta entitled
"While . Shepherds Watched Their
Flocks," by Lowden. It will be given
on Sunday evening next, at 7:30 p.
m. Instead of on Christmas eve as
formerly. This year Instead of the
school, presenting each pupil with a
sack of candy, the "White Gifts for the
King" service will be used and each
4 pupil Is asked to bring some gift of
food or clothing or whatever they wish
as a gift to the needy of the city.
These gifts will be placed at the foot
of a white cross. The1 cantata is be
ing prepared under the skilled direc
tion of Mrs. I. B. Schuler and Mrs.
James Collins, and will be one of the
best the Bchool has ever presented.
It will be largely musical and costum
ed to fit the various characters that
center around the birth of the Savior.
The beginners and primary depart
ments are having their entertainment
In the chapel of the church on Mon
day afternoon at 2:30 p. m. It will be
in charge of Mrs. R. A. Mathews and
Miss Helen Bullls with their helpers.
The parents as well as the chlldren'are

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20 Thoro in
vestigation by tho houso rules' com
mittee of conditions In the Philip
pines and Governor General Wood's'
administration is proposed in a reso
lution drafted by Representative
Frear, republican, Wisconsin, for in
troduction today.
Mr. Frear quotoa certain news dis
patches cabled from Manila which re
ferred to alleged misconduct by somo
American and insular government of
ficials. In conclusion he makes this
taken into custody.
"That the rules committee of the
house Is instructed to Investigate and
report to the house as soon as possiblo
all allegations as herein sot forth re
lating to the truth or falsity of the
Manila cablegrams, the actions of

and efforts. If any, to exploit the
island by American commercial inter
ests, the deposit of Philippine govern
ment money In American banks, the
facts regarding Filipino stable gov
ernment and any other matters pro
posed for a full report thereon to aid

gresHj should make a full report "of
any senators, representatives or other
public officials who have received
money to influence tnoir attitude
toward Philippine independence as
repeatedly charged in the different
cablegrams quoted."
Ho nlso asserts that tho Investiga
tion proposed "should disclose ull
valid objection, if any, against having
the American congress now declare

dispatches published last May in vari
ous American newspapers in which it
was declared "Governor Wood had
in his possession a list of names of
senators, representatives and others
prominent in Washington social life
who receive payment from tho Philip
pine Independence commission.
