GREECE,
Object of the Greek Raid.
Greeks Hope the Invasion Will
Cause a General Uprising.
Athens, April 12. Accounts are
very conflicting as to what really hap
pened last Friday, when the frontier
was crossed by the insurgents. Aspe
clal correspondent of the Associated
Press went to Parissa last Sat
urday, and ascertained that the
Invaders numbered upward of 3000.
Among them were Amllcare Cipriani
and ills Italian volunteer. The en
tire force was under the command of
three ex-officers of the Greek army,
Kapsalopeulas, Mylanos and Ziepc
tres, and four Macedonian chiefs Zer
mas, Davelis, Vrakas and Sarantlo.
The rendezvous was at Koniskos, a
villag near Kalabauka-
The men were all fully armed and
wore the national costume, their
black fur caps bearing the badge and
initials of the Ethnikc Iletarla, em
broidered Jn blue and white, with the
words "En ton to nlka" crossing the
initials in black. On Friday, a monk
from Nount Athos, assisted by his
abbot and two deacons, held a religi
ous service at Koniskos, at which all
members of the invading body par
took of the sacrament and registered
the oath of the order, "Liberty or
I death." In addition to large quanti
ties of ammunition and provisions,
the force had 3000 in gold.
During Friday night, following the
service, the frontier was crossed, the
force moying in the direction of
Schuick. While this movement was
in progress, a second band, tne num
ber of which is yet unknown, had a
rendzvous at Nezores, on the frontier,
about 35 kilometers north of Larlsaa,
and near the coast. This band was
similarly equipped, and took the
same oath. Ifc was commanded by
the Maccedonian chief, Sinslnlkos It
crossed the frontier, marching on
Karya.
As everywhere in the vale of
Tempe, this portion of the frontier,
the roads-and bridges are in a condi
tlon tof thorough repair. Sunday
mornlug the roar of- artillery could
be plainly heard at Larrissa from the
direction of Karya, where Sinslnlkos
is evidently forcing matters. General
Makros and his staff, with some
knowledge of the movements afoot,
which they were unwilling to impart,
left yesterday from Tynnayos, the
most important Greek position near
Elassona. Four batteries of re-in-forcements
followed today fpr the
same point.
At headquarters, they declare that
nothing is known as to the raid, and
will say nothing as to the probably
character of the raiders. However,
some additional light has been thrown
on the subject yesterday by an inter
view between the 'representative of
the Associated Press and a prominent
Greek, who is evidently in close touch
with ntlie raid and its plans. Tbo
said:
"The movement these bands is in
accord with a very clearly defined pro
gram, For years, thousands of Greeks,
even little children, on receiving a
shilling, have been in the habit of
putting half of it into a national box
in the cause of pan-Hellenism. For
many months it has-been the plan of
the league to stir up the pan-Hellenic
people by means of armed bands.
Now, that a great moment has come
in Greek history, we have seized upon
it. Our aim at present is to get be
hind the Turkish lines, and to stir up
all our brethern.
"Whether or not Europe insists
upon th,elntegeity of Turkey, Greece
is not animated by selfish views or
with any desire for annexing territory
to the kingdom. She demands not
only a true and complete independ
ence for heretic Crete, but the same
independence for Eplrus, Macedonia I
and Thrace And sne demands this
also for all the subjugated popula
tions of Asia Minor.
"Therefore, Greece will face any
danger in order to reach that end.
Years of frightful suffering and un
numbered crimes and tyrannies have
been forced upon those who arc kins
men by faith anrl blood in those coun
tries, and who arc pledged in the most
solemn way and inspired by the most
sacred and ennobling princlplesof lib
erty to do all in their power to II ft the
curse which burdens them."
When the attack began, strict or-
ders were sent to all
the Greek out-
posts on the frontier to
prescrve neu
trality, and not to open fire until ac
tually attacked by the Turks.
The only casualties reported here
are the deaths of the leaders and
three Italians.
The latest advices report that
a portion of athe;invading forces
continues to besiege the barracks at
Baltino. The remainder has contin
ued the advance, but to a destination
as yet unknown at Athens. It is re
ported that communication betweeu
Metsovo and Grcvno is cut off
The Cretan refugees here have ad
dressed a petition to the embassies, in
which, after reciting the whole his
tory of the Cretan question, they de
clare the only possible solution of It is
annexation, adding:
"We hope that Chrlan Europe will
be moved by our sufferlng.martyrdora
and struggles for centuries to support
our claims for union with Greece."
The petition is signed by several
thousands.
Durrant Sentenced.
San Francisco, April 12. For the
second time William nenry Theodore
Durrant was sentenced to be hanged
for the murder of Blanche Lamont,
at Emmanuel church, two years ago
this month,
The sentence of, .death was pro
nounced by Superior Judge Bahrs in
the presence of a cro'wd of spectators,
who packed the largest court room in
the city hall, many being unablo to
obtain admission.
The court sentenced Durrant to bo
hanged at San Quentln prison on
June 11th. The condemned will bo
taken across the bay by Sheriff
Whelan, who will be glad to be re
lieved of the responsibility of guard
ing Durrant further. He fears Dur
rant will try to commit suicide, when
all hope of a new trial finally leaves
him.
Rev. W. A. Lindsey. Yesterday
was a great day at the Baptist church
in Salem, the large auditorium was
comfortably well filled both morning
and evening, and to say that Mr.
Lindsey $ urpassed the most sanguine
expectations, is putting it all too
mildly. Many who heard his earnest
words in the mornlng,pronounced him
the strongest evangelist that "has
over visited Salem. Mr. Lindsey is an
independent worker and he desires It
fully understood that this Is not u
Baptist meeting, It is -for all Salem,
and it is his desire that all the city
pastors and Christian workers will
come In and Join hands with him at
once in a vigorous campaign in this
city, For the present there will be
the mornlnglservlce at 10 a. m, and
the evening service at 7:30. There is
little doubt that the auditorium of
the church will be filled tonight,
everybody is invited. There will be
good Gospel singing, and we would be
glad to have you bring with you your
Gospel Hymn book. Special solo by
H. S. Glle each night this week.

DEAD
Ex-Senator D, W, Voorhees.
Heart Failure the Prime Cause -Will
Lie in State.
Washington, April 12. Daniel
Wolsey Voorhccs, United States ex
senator from the state of Indiana,
died in this city, at the ago of 70
years. His death was caused by an
attack of angina pactorls. Tlio sena
tor's health was so poor during the
recent political campaign that hs
could not participate In It, but after
his return to Washington in Novem
ber he seemed to Improve In health.
Two weeks ugo the old rheumatic
trouble returned and three days ago
his condition became alarming, but
the senator did not confine hiinscU to
his bed and the family felt no im
mediate alarm. It was not indeed
until half an hour before the final
summons came that anyone realized
that death was near.
The senator's son, Rees N. Voor
hccs, had remained in the room with
his father during the night, and was
awakened at Jabout4 o'clock In the
morning by his father, who was then
suffering great pain in the region of
heart, ne refused, however, to allow
a physician to be called, saying that
the pain had passed away. Half an
hour later he appeared much better.
He got out of bed and walked to the
bathroom, his son being with him.
When they entered the hallway the
senator was attacked by a more severs
spasm than he had yet experienced,
and fell in a semi-conscious condition
Into his son's arms. The latter car
ried the dying man back to his bed
and summoned Dr. Shoup. It was too
late, however, and the ex-senator soon
passed away without regaining full
consciousness, nis only .son, Rees,
his daughter, Miss nallie Voorhees
and the physician were present when
ho died.
The remains will bo taken to Terre
naute, Ind., the senator's homo for
many years, for Interment.
The senator has been In bad health
for seyeral years, and for at least two
years past has taken little part In tho
proceedings in tho senate. He has
been a constant sufferer from rheuma
tism of tho heart, and his friends,
therefore, had come to expect that
they might hear of his death sud
denly. The last reports of him, how
over, were that he was showing somo
signs of improvement, and his death,
therefore, while not entirely unex
pected, came with tho suddenness of
a shock,
At the time of his retirement from
the senate "the tall sycamore of tho
Wabash," as he was affectlonally
called by his followers in tho noasier
house, was the ranking domocrat on
finance commltte, and by virtue of his
position was nominated leader at least
of his party on tho floor of the senate
on tariff and financial questions. He
was not very active, however, owing
to illhealth, In the work on tho Wil
son tariff bill. In the repeal of tho
Sherman sliver law, the Hoosler sen
ator, however, took a very prominent
part. It was his last Important part
in the senate.
Tho remains of ex-Senator Voorhees
will bo escorted from this city to his
native state of Indiana. Before being
taken to tho Terro Haute home, the
body will He In state in the capitol
building at Indlnapolls, at tho sug
gestion of Governor Mount. Funeral

the families a chance to get some use
or nil the books that are contributed.
Tho committee will no doubt bo glad
to acknowledge contributions of
books or money from any one dis
posed to assist. There is nothing
more desirable than that our young

habit of reading good books while at
school, as tho habit once formed goes

in tho house, and Intelligence in the
Individual.

"Sockless Jerry" Simpson,
He Scores Boss Reed in an Em
phatic Manner.
Washington, April 12. Tho house
could not reslht tho temptation lo in
dulge in a political debate Saturday
as It had no business on hand. In
terest was focused upon Simpson, who
had announced a determination to ob
struct any legislation attempted with
out the presence of a quorum. Ills
policy was frustrated by a quorum
appearing.
Simpson found an opportunity, how
ever, to reiterate his denunciation of
tho conccntialiu:i of power in the
speaker's hands. Simpson said the
country was demanding financial leg
islation, nd the Republican paity
should be given u chance to show what
ithould do.und not sit Idly for two or
three months, lie repeated his attack
on tho speaker, declaring that the
members of the house, by giving him
nutocratlc power, disfranchised his
constituents who hadjclected him.
After Simpson had subsided, tlo
house drifted Into a somewnat per
functory political discussion. Cor
non derided the idea that legislation
alone could bring prosperity. The
country wanted congress to provide
revenue, then to adjourn and allow
private business to have full sway.
It is an open secret, ho said, that con
gress, as organized, could not agre
upon any financial legislation. Tho
country did not want to hear tho
platitudes of tho campaign thunder
ing forth in congress,
Tho debate for tho Democrats was
concluded by Balloy. T.I10 Democrats,
ho said, should help tho Republican
party to save the country from tho
consequencesof what the party would
do, If it wore at work. If tho Demo
crats should go with tho majority, to
make tho sort of laws they had always
denounced, tho country would doubt
their sincerity, or their honesty and
probably both. If tho Republicans
failed, they might as well make no
nomination, no was so confident
thoy would fall that he wanted to
give them ovory opportunity to lllus
trato what they could do.
AGREEMENT.
A final agreement among tho Dem
ocrats, Sllvor Republicans and Popu
lists In tho scnato,looklng to a perfect
coaltlon, was reached at a meeting of
those people. Tho agreement had its
origin In tho effort to re-organize tho
senate committees, but It is destined,
apparently to reach far beyond this
situation and, in fact, to further th
proceedings of the senate in all mat
ters, if not to tho extent of shaping
tho party policy throughout the coun
try. Thero wero present tho Demo
cratic senutors, Gorman, Cockrell.
Walthall. Jones, of Arkansas, and
Murphy. aSllvcr Republicans, Sena
tors Cannon and Mantle. Populists,
