CHILDREN's Day was observed

CHILDREN's Day was observed
Sunday at Jones M. z. Chapel Long
Alley. The sermon in the morning
was by the pastor, Rev. c. G. Cum
mings. Subject, Christian Educa-
ton" Some of the points develop
ed were that Christian education
should be development of the
whole man, physical, mental and
spiritual. The end of a christian
education is not that person should
be mere ornament of society, but
a useful member; serving those who
are most needy. A christian educa-
tion should be industrial or literary,
according to the trend of a child's
mind He urged upon the parents
their duty of first seeing that their
children used the educational advan-
tages given at the local public school.
The evening service consisted ofthe
program as arranged by the Board
of Education of the M. E. Church.
The collection for the Children Day
fund was 1925. On Thursday even
ing the 23rd inst, there will be an
art exhibition and festival at the

tend.

lytes, the usual rich vestments being put
aside for those of black and white.
In his sermon the cardinal said griev-
Gus crime had shocked the civilized world: !:
the hand of an assassin had struck down
an inoffending lady, the consort of an En-
peror of vast and historic regions. The
crime had occurred not when the EN-
press was seated on her throne amid
pomp and majesty, which might have ex-
cited the passions of some fanatic, but
while she was peacefully walking the
street.
The man that strikes at the ruler of a
nation is an enemy of social order" de-
clared the cardinal Public peace and
tranquility depend upon the execution of
the law; on the ruler or executive of
nation depends the execution of law and
the maintenance of stable government, It
behooves us, therefore, 10 uphold the head
of the nation, whose person as a ruler is
sacred"
The cardinal paid touching tribute to
the beauty of character of the late En-
press, and asked that the PRAYERS be given
not only for the repose of her soul, but
also for the solace of the stricken Emper-
or. Among all the tributes of sympathy
which had gone to the Emperor, he said
none had been more touching and grac-
ious than that of the President of the
United States. The cardinal recalled the
worldwide sympathy coming TO the
United States on the assa assination of
President Garfield which he~ said lex,elIad
all partisanship of this country, bringing
together Democrats, Republicans admin
istration men and anti-administration
men in a common sorrow. Thus, out of
the blood of a martyred President was
sown the seed of patriots, and the cardinal
hoped that out of this last abhorent trag-
edy would come also good lessons and
good results.
The music following the mass was of
high order. Following the ceremony the
President and his party returned to the
White House.

HOWELL AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

Commission of inquiry.

He Formally Accepts Place on the
Commission of inquiry.
Washington, Sept. 17-Mr. Evan P.
Howell of Atlanta, who was asked by the
President to serve on the commission to
investigate certain departments of the
army, in connection with the war, was at
the White House to-day and formally ac-
cepted the appointment.
In his interview, the President assured
Mr.. Howell that it was his purpose to Sc
cure a commission which, without fear or
favor, would probe to the bottom the
charges made by newspapers and individ-
uals involving the efficiency and integrity
of officers of the army, and give to the
country the facts.
The Secretary of War had asked for an
investigation, and the President thought
it due to all concerned that the investiga-
ton be made at once by a commission in
whose honesty Of purpose and ability there
could be no question.
Under these circumstances Mr. Howell
assured the President ihat he would gladly
accept the appointment, as he regarded
IL as duty which no citizen should evade
Mr.. Howell thought that there would be
no necessity for the commission TO leave
Washington during the inquiry. Offices
for its use would be secured in or con-
venient 10 the war department, where the
official records could be at hand.
The only purpose of the President In Sc
curing, if possible, nine members of the
commission Is to tighten the labors Of the
individual members. According to his
idea the work of the commission could be
parceled out to subcommittee so that the
larger the commission, the easier would be
the work for the individual members. If,
however, the President was unable to Sc
cure the services Of nine members he
would proceed with seven. He expected
that In any event the commission would
be completed within the next few days.
The gentlemen who already have ac-
cepted, or who 1t is confidently expected
will consent to serve, are Mr.. Sexton, Gen.
Dodge. Mr.. DENLY. Mr.. Howell, Mr.. Gil
man and DR.. Keen.
AS to the power Of the commission to
compel officers and others TO testify as to

ufacturing and commercial interests in the
Northwest, Chicago, New York and other
cities on the company's line, had been for
some time negotiating for the purchase of
very substantial interest in the Balu-
more and Ohio Railroad and that such
negotiations had been brought to a sue
cessful conclusion; that under
the reorganization ample means had
been provided for cutting down
grades, increasing capacity and facilities
of the road and putting II in a condition
to promptly and economically handle
largely increased business; that the re-
organization managers had also decided
that the subsidiary lines, including the
Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern should
be likewise treated and arrangements
were now being concluded to readjust the
affairs of such lines and secure capital to
put them in the same condition as the
main line
Mr.. Bacon was very reticent, but Il Is
evident that the control has been pur-
chased and from what has been learned
here and through other sources, 81 is Ger
tain that much larger sum than $40. r
