Warren. of lndianapolis, Secre- tary of the Board of Ministerial Ro- lief of the Disciples of Christvwho ad- dressed tho National Convention of 'Coni‘eronee Claimants of the Methodist Episcopal Church today.’ Plans are‘being considered by the convention to raise a $10,000,000 fund 1 to provide pensions for retired minia- ters, their widows and orphans. “Pensions would help to obtain more and better ministers," Dr. Warren said. 1 "by overcoming the natural opposition of parents, by enlisting the sons of minlgters, who would otherwise have to go Into business to care for the-par- ents." ‘ . \ ALASKAN LECTURE MUCH IN ENJOYED“ ’ The audience gathered to hear the Civic League's lecture on Alaska yes- terday afternoon enjoyed greatly the beauty of the pictures shown by Pro fessor James Ross Lynch of New Yo_1k City.

I wanted Mr. Low to take the same attitude I did. toward the‘or- gsnizstion.’ Therefore, I wrote to Mr. Pratt about a meeting between the two. I didn’t want the organization to feel It was being slighted, but I wanted Mr. Low always to under- stand that he was to do what he thought best. i was President then." “Why did you write about Mr. Platt's man?" asked Mr. Bowers. “Why, that meant nothing deroga- tory to the ~ men. it was simply to identify them." “How did you finally happen to be nominated for Vice-President in 1900?” An' objection was sustained. “Did President McKinley send you a communication on that subject?" “Yes." A. “Did you* accept after receiving the message?” . Another objection was sustained. Later he said: "I accepted so as to gratify President McKinley." "Do you remember hearing that any of the then named by Mr. lvins contributed‘to your campaign fund in 1904'!" “Until after i left the presidency i never heard‘the names of those men as having bt'cn contributors.

An investigation was made of tho Harvester Company. and it was reported to me that It was all right." The Colonel said he remembered an Investigation had been made of the DI Pont Powder Company. "Now, about the Northern Pacific Railroad?" An objection was sustained. “Was action brought during your administration against the Standard Oil Company?" The court upheld another objection. “Was any other action taken against any corporation In ~wbich Morgan or other gentlemen whose names appeared as contributors were Interested during your administra- tion?" ’ 1 An objection was sustained.
