REV. ]. |. RACE
HAS RESIGNED
His Resignation VIII Go Into Effect One
Week from Tomorrow.
PASTOR OF CEDAR AVENUE CHURCH
For Three Years lie Has Had Charge
of That Fiock--Dnring That Period
the Congregation Has Greatly In
creased and New Church Is
Needed - lie Believes That IA
Younger Man should BE Secured to
Erect IL.


Rev. J. l.. Race, pastor of the Cedar
Avenue Methodist Episcopal church,
will resign the pastorate of that con-
Eregat!on Easter Sunday, and at the
annual conference to be held at Nor
wich. n. Y, beginning April 49, Mr..
Race will seek a new charge. At his
residence, 339 Cherry street, he granted
an intei view to a Tribune reporter last
night. When asked his reason for re-
signing, Mr.. Race said:
II am now about to close my third
year as pastor of the Cedar avenue
church and | feel l need a change. In
accordance with the rules of our con-
ference, / could remain with my flock
here two years more, but for several
months | have contemplated resigning
and Informed my congregation of my
Intentions two months ago. BY a
unanimous vote of the members | was
asked to remain, but ] have decided
To resign As | look back into the
years spent here, | have every reason,
and my flock also, to feel proud of the
work we have done. Our church is
now far too small for the attendance
at the Sunday services and the erec-
tion Of a new edfice is imperative.
Consequently, / honestly believe that
man far younger than | should
undertake the work"
The Rev. Mr.. Race has been in the
ministry for tiftv-twO years and is
now 67 years of age, and for forty
years he has labored in this section,
principally in Lackawanna, Moosic,
PittstOn and Old Forge, He was sent
from Lackawanha to his present
charge.
During his terms here he has united
in marriage twenty-five couples, and
during the week Mr.. Race sent invi-
tations TO these couples to attend the
morning services Easter Sunday, and
the front pews are to be reserved for
them.
A singular coincidence is that Rev.
]. II. Race, son of Rev. Race, who is
now pastor of the Centenary Metho-
dist Episcopal church. of Binghamton,
also resigns his charge Easter Sunday
to go to Chattanooga, Tennessee, to
assume the chancellorship of the Grant
university, a position he was recently
chosen to fill.

NOW in JURY'S HANDS.
in the City Bank Case
Made Yesterday.

The City bank case was given 60 the
jury last evening. at a few minutes be-
fore o'clock. The presentation of evil
dence was completed at ll.30 o'clock
and adjournment was made until 1.30
to give the counsel time to prepare
their law points.
The closing arguments We're made by
Major Warren and Mr.. Torrey for the
defense and Mr.. Price for the plaintiff
Each spoke for about an hour and like
period of time was consumed by Judge
Albright in the delivery of his charge.
The case was one of the most sharp
ly contested that has ever come before
the Lackawanna courts. Almost every
question asked evoked an objection and
a consequent ruling from the court.
The able manner in which Judge AL
bright has dealt with the tedious case
and it's many complexities has won
many new encomiums for him from the
local bar, where he is held in such high
regard.
The case of II. r. Wood against f.
McBriar Sanderson and others was
given to the jury by Judge Edwards at
2.30 o'clock p. m. No verdict had been
reached at adjournment.
In the case of James r. Thomas
against Edward Mcdonald and Con-
stable William Davis the parties settled
amicably by agreeing upon a verdict in
favor if the plaintiff for 1925. This is
a companion case to that in which Mrs.
Lizzie Morgans was plaintiff and in
which she received verdict Thursday
against these defendants for S135. The
suits grow out of an Illegal constable
sale.

BODY FRlGHTFULLY MUTILATED.
John Decker, IA Tramp, Killed on the
Bloomsbury Division Tracks,

The horribly mutilated body of John
Decker, tramp, was found early yes
terday morning by trainmen on the
tracks of the Bloomsbury road in the
near of 400 Railroad avenue.
Nobody could be found who knew
how Decker had been killed. 1t was
presumed he had been stealing a ride
on a coal or freight train during the
night and had fallen between the cars.
The head, arms and legs hung to the
trunk by shreds, an indication that the
body was tumbled about on the rail by
the cars and was not first struck by
an engine.
Coroner Longstreet directed Under
taker Raub to remove the body. 1t was
taken to the latter's establishment on
Spruce street. There will be no in
quest of the case.
The remains were easily identified as
those of Decker. He was well known
to employees on the Bloomsbury divis-
ion, along which he has tramped and
ridden for years. His headquarters
We're at the Holden switch shanty and
breaker boiler houses near Bellevue.
Mrs. James Decker, of the South
Side, sister-in-law of the man killed,
called at Undertaken Raubs office last
evening and identified tte remains and
arranged for their removal. Later

BIG APPEAL OF THE D., L. AND W.
Wants Its Assessment Reduced from
$4,000 to e2O.4OO.


In relation to the appeal of the Del
aware Lackawanna and Western COM
pany for exemption from the assess
ment on all but one of the buildings in
its railroad yard. Supreme court de-
cision was made recently which sup
ports, in part at least, the appeal. The
company appealed from the assessment
of all the buildings, the car shop eX-
cepted.
Following is the substance of the Su-
preme courts decision in the case of
the Western New York and Pennsvl-
vania Railroad company VS.. the Coun-
ty of Venango:
The property of a railroad company is
exempt from taxation for local purposes,
only when It is Indispensable necessary
to the operation of the railroad as such.
The machine shops of a railroad COM
pany used exclusively in repairing and
restoring ca;s and locomotives of the
company, and not for original construc-
tion, are exempt from taxation for local
purposes; but If used for construction
they are subject to local taxation.
The case of Berks county VS.. East Penn
sylvania Railroad Co, Walker, 42S, so
far as it holds that shops operated for
purposes of repairs only are subject to
local taxation is distinctly overruled.
The opinion was by Mr.. Justice Will
liams and was affirmed by all the Su-
preme court.
If the claim of the Delaware. Lack
awanna and Western company is paral-
lei to that Of the Western New York
and Pennsylvania company, the form
er's assessment will have to be re-
duced $175GOO. or, from $196,OOO to 500,

TALKED ABOUT CHILD TRAINING.
Miss Underwood's Afternoon Lecture
in the Albright Library.

Miss Underwood the chief kinder
gartncr of the free kindergarten sys-
TEN, in this vicinity, undertook yester-
day afternoon at the Albright library
to tell mothers and others how to train
children. There We're many listeners
present, some of whom had fancied
themselves tolerably successful in their
experiments in this direction, while
still Others had n limited experience.
Mrs. j. A. Price presided over the
meeting. The first thoughts present
ed were on the evolution of a mother
beginning with the lower animals. In
the course of the presentation of this
part of the subject, the speaker stat
ed that nature never makes a stand
ard from which she reCedes.
From these points she proceeded to
advise regarding the training of the
little ones particularly emphasizing the
fact that while obedience must be de-
manded it must lie with due respect
for the child. Illustrations from the
details of kindergarten methods fol-
lowed. In conclusion it was stated
that a suggestion had been made that
the speaker deliver series of lee
lures or talks this spring to young
mothers and those interested on the
subject of child training.
Mrs. Price then announced that any
responses regarding this matter might
be addressed to herself Mrs. 'E. L.
Fuller, Mrs. Archibald or Mrs. Simpson.

BOXERS MIXED THINGS.
The Beau Brummrl aud O'Rourke
Clash nt Music Hall.

The three-round boxing contest be-
tween Tom O'Rourte, OF this city, and
Mihe Leonard concluded the Knicker-
booker burlesque show at Music hall
last night. 1t developed into more
than an exhibition and furnished a
more lively bit Of entertainment than
the large audience present mad eX-
pcctcd.
The beau" was plainly in no Condi-
tion for grinding work and received
some hard jabs in the stomach and
two face blows that made him wrigglc
during the fTst and second rounds.
O'Rourke had gained considerable COM
fidencc and az equal amount of care
lessncss when the third round began.
Leonard administered two uppercuts
on the stomach and crossed his man as
many times with the right and had
O'G,ourke dizzy, but willing when the
third round closed and the bout end
ed,
The affair was finished amid much
commotion. Manager Robie, of the
show, who was acting as referee, halt
ed i'm a wrangle with O'ECurke and
asked the audience for a decision af-
ter he had given it to Leonard. The
crowd naturally yelled for the local
man and an agreement was made
forthwith to repeat the bout this
evening.
jim Judge, of this city, whom Leo
nard has every reason to remember
with pain, was the object of remarks
by Leonard between the first two
rounds. The crowd had Kissed and
Leonard stepped to the footlights. He
made the usual fighters statement
that he was giving the best entertain
iflent he could against an awkward
boxer; that he came here hoping for
a meeting with Judge.
The "hcau" Is authOritively remind
ed on Judges behalf that the place to
make matches is not from the foot
lights Of q theater. He is further no
tified-also authOritively--that a small
forfeit usually accompanies a propo-
sitiOn for glove contest. Judge is
ready today to close negotiations with
Leonard for a 10 or 20-round bout to
be decided in this city or elsewhere on
ADlil 26.
