SAM JONES' son PUGNACIOUs.
Wants to Fight a Preacher Who
Called His Father a Liar.


Atlanta, Ga, May 21.-Rev. Sam Jones'
son, Sam p, Jr.. wants TO fight with an
Atlanta preacher who said his father had
been telling lies about Atlanta
He says if the preacher, who is Rev. a.
c. Ward, will get down out of his pulpit
and repeat the word Liar" in reference
to his father, he will give him any kind of
a scrap he wants.
Young Jones thinks Rev. Ward is look
ing for free advertising or a fight and is
anxious to accommodate him along the
latter line.
The trouble is the outcome of one Of
Rev. Sans sermon. in which he referred
to Atlanta as a rotten town.
Rev. Ward did not like this, and came
back at the evangelist, declaring Atlanta
to be very good sort of place.
Other COMMUNICATIONS followed until
DR.. Ward finally wrote a card jumping on
the evangelist ia warm style. in the course
of which he used the ''lie" in profuse
fashion.
Young Mr. Jones, who says he weighs
125 pounds. while DR.. Ward tips the beam
at 165. took his fathers cause in hand M
on the appearance of this the evangelist
being in Baltimore, and to-day came out
with a vigorous call-down for the Atlanta
preacher, coupled with an offer to meet
him with bare fists
Dr. Ward has not yet been heard from
but his friends do not think he will pay
any attention to the belligerent son Of the
noted evangelist

A COMET NOW DUE.
Celestial Visitor May Drop In ON Us
at Any Minute.
From The Phnadelphla Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Encke's comet Is on the astronomical
programme for this month--that Is, ac-
cording to calculation, 1t will this month
make its "perlhellon passage" round the
sun-and for some weeks observers have
been on the watch for it. Under ordinary
circumstances, we might expect to re-
oeive the first report of its Sighting
from the Lick observatory. as has lat
terly been the case with the greater
number of the periodic comets, whose
positions when IN their approach to the
sun they become near enough 20 be seen
can be determined with a fair degree of
accuracy Owing, however, 20 its south
ern position, Enckes comet this year is
not so favorably placed as II was at its
last return, In 1894, and very likely the
first sight of 1t win be obtained in the
southern hemisphere, and not until It
has already passed its perlhelion.
The comet which bears the name Of
EnclSe is the longest known of the period
ic comets, and has the shortest period
of them all, and 1t is for other reasons
also an object of especial interest. It's
first recorded appearance was in 1885,
over century ago It was then discov-
cred at the Paris Observatory, in the
constellation Aquarlus A few years later
1t was rediscovered, this time in Pegas-
sus, by Miss Caroline Herschel. ana II
was FOR a third time caught up by as
tronomers in 1913. on this last occasion
1t, or its Clements" fell into the mas
ter hands of Encke, who, after having
vainly attempted to compute for II a
para bolic orbit finally determined by a
then newly-invented method Of calcula-
ton that its orbit was an eclipse, and
moreover, an eclipse so remarkably small
that the comet would complete the cir
cult of 1t in about three and a third
years.
Encke fixed upon the month and the
day when 1t should return In 1892 The
comet kept its appointment with the as
tronomer. within a few hours, but, being
on that occasion unfavorably situated II
was seen only in the southern hemisphere
and by but one observer. Since then Il
has been regularly on the programme of
astronomers. and has been seen at every
return.
The frequent visits of Encke's comet
have permitted Of 1t being observed and
studied more thoroughly than any other
of this mysterious class of celestial bodies
1t is a curious fact, probably due to the
unstable character of the forces which
hold its parts together-and In a measure
also to the circumstance that 1t Is some
times more favorably situated for observ-
ing than at other times-that ID never pre-
sents twice the same appearance on its
successive returns. Usually It is a tail

HAWAII TO Be TAKEN.
The Islands Are Needed ss . Base Of
SuppIies.

The Islands Are Needed ~ = Base Of
supplies.
New York, April 30.-A special to the
Press from Washington When
President Dole OF Hawaii left this
recently after his visit to aid
in the annexation proceedings before
congress he carried with him the draft
of a bill which promises to make his
tory. 1t Is for passage by the Hawai-
ian congress and provides In the event
OF a war in which the United states
may need the Hawaiian stands for a
base of supplies that h islands shall
be put under the protection OF the
American flag.
II was prepared with the knowledge
of members of the senate committee on
foreign relations and had the approval
of the administration on certain con-
ditions. One condition vas that 1t
should not be submitted to the Hawai-
ian unless there was war.
When President Dole left this country
wal with Spain had not been declared
but was deemed probable.
No conditions are to be imposed upon
the United States should the American
flag be raised over the islands. IL a
consideration was named, an appropri-
alton would be required which would
need congressional action and probably
cause complications. A majority OF the
senate and house are in w OF the
annexation of Hawaii and the project
has failed so far only through the lack
of the necessary two-thirds vote In the
upper body. In an emergency the pres
fdent of the United States can exercise
what is known as the war power
He can accept the privileges granted
by the Hawaiian government Tor a pase
of supplies in the Pacific ocean and to
guard the island completely, the flag or
the United States would be raised as a
barrier. against which foreign meaning
would not be permitted. d..
1t would not surprise well informed
national legislators to hear by the next
steamer from Honolulu either a con-
frmation or strong indications OF the
fulhllment of this important news.
M operations of Commodore Dewey
in the Philippines are Significant In
connection with the expected
ment of a protectorate or sovereignty
over Hawaii.
The Hawaiian stands are on a
line drawn from the Philippines slightly
northward TO San Francisco. From the
Philippines to Honolulu the distance Is
more than 1000 miles. From Honolulu
10 San Francisco 2,1O0 miles. The
necessities OF the United States demand
this resting place. British necessities
are so great in m that II tine
United States does not control n IA
ci6c station, Great Britain must in SELF
protection assume control. Honolulu
promises to become the resort of a tire
mendous fleet Of ocean steamers, most
ly British. All collier ships have Il
stop there. and the present Hawaiian
government will not be able to main
tain proper police and sanitary condi
tons. The expectation in the English
foreign office is that the United states
will respond to Hawaii's course rathe
than to permit another power TO con
troll her line of communication wit
Australia. The British ministry ma
assured the state department that l
views with favor Hawaiian Occupation
by America.
