PROBING ALLEGED CORRUPTION Question of Whether Or TJot House Members Were Bribed is Now Up. Washington, April 4:-AThe '.special House committee, appointed by-Speaks er Cannon' to investigate charges of corruption made by - the American Merchant. League ; against members of the Housed iti connection with the ship I subsidy legislation, mef this ihorning in executive session ' to s determine on a plan of investigation.--; Representa tive Steenerson, who introduced the resolution, was beforevthe ; committee terhoon a mass meeting for men was held. Rev. William S. Jacoby, Dr. Torrey's assistant in Bible study and instruction, told the story; of his 11 previous ( to his conversion at the age of 44. This story gripped and held the attention of all the men present. It created a profound . impression, about 30 men expressing' a desire to lead a better life at the, conclusion ot the (meetings Lastf night the tremen dous crowd which aksembled to parti cipate invthe farewell service rendered it necessary to hold a double meeting. One ofj-these was vcbhducted -in the ipvaudiiw The otfceras;'held in the adjoining' build ing by 'Rev.; Mr. Jacoby. It is esti mated that fully five thousand persons attended s last" evening's double meet- Jngi? As--a Result X)t ., both meetings there were 55 conversions. ; . powerfuf Sermon' Delivered. Thfe fact that themeeting last' night conducted by Dr. Torrey was the last caused a feeling of sadness to. per meate the hearts of the, thousands who heaid his farewell , serinoh. The ser mons :that; he has delivered during the past four' wejeks are among the strong est and most convincing - ever preach ed in Wilmington. Dr. Torrey con vinpprf his Tiearers not so much f through eloquence of .oratory or pleas dna was questioned as to wnat ne . nature of (ieliery, but through knew about the charges. The investi-. ' v.i oni .tnmafnU gation grows oht of magazine .bharges' that Steenerson and others were work ing in conjunction with, a lobby; to, de feat the proposed legislation. the" unanswerable logic and forceful ness of his ' arguments in favor of the nhrlstian 'life.' 'His' sermons' .were fllc j in . which - she thanked pthe Un ktbwn donors for the gift. In' connec tion with the presentation of gifts it might be stated "that Rev. Mr. Jacoby, who has won for himself a warm place in the affections of Wilmington peo ple, was not forgotten. His classes for men held daily at the Y. M. C. A. in which he explained the Bible and the best methods of study were one of. the best features of the revival. Several days ago the men who have attended these meetings presented Mr. Jacoby with a substantial purse-as a mark, of their esteem and1 love for him. t' Touching Feature of Meeting. 4 -v Patiios " and sadness marked the close of the meeting when hundreds trooped to the platform to give Dr. Torrey and his workers a farewell handclasp and a parting word of love arid good fellowship.' Farewells were said with great reluctance and much feeling. Evident pain at the de parture of these Christian workers from the city was shown in the sin cere words -of regret which their leav ing prompted from those who ' bade the workers farewell. , -Wherever they may go, Dr. Torrey, Miss Anderson, the consecrated pianist, Messrs. But ler ' and Young; the talented ' singers, Rev. Mr. Jacoby, ueloved of all who know him, and ' Miss Parker, Dr. Tor rey's Christian assistant, will hare the best wishes of all Wilmington people for their "future welfare and success ih God's wqrk.

This he de piodbecause it made life too cheap; He. said he didn't believe there were half, as many, cases of .voluntary" mai-j slaughter in, North Carolina as. in voluntary; ones,;. ... .s . , . ;Under,,ithe latter, head, he defined those people whose negligence, .causes! the death of .othejrs. For ; instance, h,e4 spoke about the. person who ;- points an unloaded pistol-, at another. The point ing of vJanvUloaded pistol is., a; misde meanor in; itself, 4mt , should1 the' un loaded pistol, go off and ..kill some, one iti is involuntary manslaughter. , He, also referred - under -this class to the person responsible foin railroad accidents, due to negligence . or care-, lessness.- Such a.person, whether, cpn; ductor,. engineer, - train dispatcher, or who, he declared guilty of in voluntary manslaughter. . The railroad ..itself, .he said, is held responsible,, but the bur deri in the end, in a civil action, falls upon the , stockholders, who absolutely having nothing, to do with . operating the' trains. Yet the man who is re sponsible for the accident, - either by direct negligence in orders .operation or. the purchase sof defective -.equipment, is the guilty one and. should be puished.. He referred; to the vigorous manner in. which . England, finds -j out the man or men responsible in . such cases and , .punishes; , them. Judge Cooke took r occasion to? compliment the - management of the Atlantic . Coast Line,, saying v that his - observation had been that 'the Coast . Line -has had fewer accidents than .other, roads, ? .Yet t another x type of , involuntary manslaughter he called attention .to is the mill man -who - buys a cheap boileiv or. a. defective piece of ma- i chihery, or fails, to provide the proper accident results..- - ; 4 .
