A BLOW AT CHRISTIANITY

Editor Evening Bulletin:-It would
seem as If the present were an oppor-
tune time to again call the attention of
the Governor of the Territory before
he takes his tramp abroad, with con-
current expenses, to visit his great
and good friend" the President of the
United States), of the crying needs
which have existed, and still exist for
public improvement in sanitary condi-
tions and facilities for travel in that
portion of the city peopled by about
25OO souls and notable for the large
number of deserted dwellings, said
district being locally known as Ke-
walo. Appeal has been made time and
time again for help from the public
funds but the cry of the people Of the
district has only been met with the
answer from the Public Works De-
partment, Sorry, know improvements
are necessary, but, no funds" and Col.
Boyd smilingly waves adieu. Appeal
has been made that the paucity be
obviated by the calling together OF the
Legislature to supply funds, and the
answer to this appeal of the Kewalo
public. is oligarchic as usual, viz, BE
ID" This public be damned" at
titude Is becoming likely to rebound to
the detriment of the posers to an eX-
tent unthought Of, by reason of the
late detrimental effects on the cause o!
religion. Let lecturer Weldon who
has lately been engaged in displaying
the beauties and opportunities in Ha-
wall to admiring thousands CD of Y.
VI. C. A. and other religious bodies
abroad, let him tell the reason why
the congregation of the Sloane Chris
tian chapel could not gain entrance to
their cosy quarters, during the last
two Sundays, and why Rev. Z. S.
Muckley, Mrs. Weldon and other lead
ers had to hold services on the veran-
dahs of houses deserted by poor Por-
tuguese. Ask them, Weldon and Rev.
Muckley they are, or should be worthy
Of credence by the powers that be-"
ask them why their bright prospects
for furthering the cause of Christ In
that hitherto unchurched district be-
came Swallowed with disaster; why
their congregations have fallen from
100 to s.; ask them! ask them. No won
der that the public in Kewalo at least.
Is likely to be damned. As before stat
ed the health of the whole people Is
endangered from the open reception
there offered to dread disease, but the
Board of Health is not to blame,
though their efforts, being somewhat
strenuous, have assisted in depicting
the population as evidenced by the
many empty houses extant in the dis
trict, the former human habitations
now being taken possession of by rats
and other vermin who hold high reyel
and applaud the inactivity of the
Executive and the Department of Pub
lie Works. Now II is, without doubt
up to" the Governor to aid the cause
OF religion; he has good intentions. no
doubt, but 1.-The road to Avernus Is
paved with good intentions" II would
be well If the Governor, before depar-
ture, made some effort to improve
existing conditions in Kewalo, so that
the Kewaloite ejaculation OF Damn
him" may be changed to "Blesshim."

Mr.. Sheldon spoke to Mr. Woodruff. told
him how they had been lifelong friends,

Sheldon to Mr.. Woodruff that Mr.. Wood

were heard. Finally Mr.. Sheldon de

RELATION OF EARTH'S
SURFACE TO SHOCKS
Interesting Results From
Seismographic Stations.
Irregularities Of the Globe Shown tt
Have a Direct Connection With
Earthquakes.

LONDON. Sept. 21.-Important results
of the investigations by the seismo-
graphical committee are reported from
thirty-eight stations which are now es-
tablished. Two instruments were carried
by the Discovery to the Antarctic and
others to Perth. in western Australia.
and the Azores.
A study of the position of the earth
quake centers from the records obtained
from various stations has demonstrated
the fact that there is a connection be-
tween the distribution of the origins Of
large earthquakes and the pronounced
irregularities of the surface Of the earth
An attempt has been made to group
these seismic centers. and the greater
number have been collected into twelve
separate regions, each marked by no.
ticeable characteristics. particularly in
the matter of steep gradients.
Sixteen earthquakes have been traced

where two ridges. we'll pronounced, were
found in Cuba. Haiti. and Porto Rico,
running from east to west, and in Gren-
ada. st. Vincent. Martinique. Dominica,
and other islands. running from north
to south. The east to west ridges slope
steeply from the north into the water,
which. north Of Porto Rico. attained
depth OF 1000 fathoms, and south Of
that same island into the water $500
fathoms. The north to south ridges
slope to the west over a short distance
like twelve miles. is 1000 feet per mile,
while to the eastward IT Is comparative
ly gentle.
II was further shown that the dis
tricts from which large earthquakes
originated were those in which geologic
cal observation indicated that the land
surfaces exhibited as ridges had recent
ly been elevated. and where history in
that the elevation was yet in
progress.
The history OF earthquakes in tho
West Indies for the last 200 years dis
played tendency to relieve the vof-
canic strain. and 1t is concluded that

den geotectonic change in its own or In

VIEWS AMENDMENT
AS AN IMPOSSIBILITY
CONFEDERATE PENSION
ROLLS BIG INCREASE
Difficult Problem to Come Up in the
Convention of Commissioners
at Jackson, Miss.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 21.-A State
has been called to meet at Jackson.
Miss, February 10, to see what can be
done to settle the pension problem. Con-
federate pensions in Mississippi are
paid pro rata. gross sum being voted
by the Legislature. Last year the pro
rata became so small that most of the
veterans got only a fraction over 81
month.
The Legislature at its meeting in jan
uary increased the appropriation 80 per
cent, but the new roll of pensioners
shows similar increase, and the vet
Grams will again get only 81 apiece.
The attorney general has decided that
no name can be stricken from the pen
sion rolls by the county pension boards
for any cause, and that they can only
report to the grand jury cases where
fraudulent pension claims have been
presented.
The convention will arrange some
plan for purging the pension roll of
the State. and preventing the name
of any fraudulent veteran getting on it.
The convention has the Endorsement of
State Pension Commissioner Cole, who
believes that the pension evil can be
cured by stirring up public opinion. and
getting the county boards to purge the
rolls, and report all frauds to the grand
jury.
In some OF the counties the number
OF Confederate veterans has increased
over so per cent as compared with last
year.

Street and Third Avenue at that time.
Captain Titus would not give out the
name of this man because the captain
has put him in charge of one of his
detectives, and the detective is taking
him from place to place in the hope
that he may run across Young. Captain
Titus has also secured the services of
six other mel who know Young by
sight. and they also are touring the
city ant the suburbs with detectives
in the hope of finding him.
Today story reached the police that
man answering Young's description
had been seen at Coney Island CAPTAIN
Titus had previously sent full descrip-
tion of Young to the Coney Island
sleuths. He supplemented this with a
batch of photographs of the man.
The. police of the Bergen Street sta
tion in Brooklyn did better. After the
description of Young was read to the
squad which went out at noon TODAY
William Patchen, thirty-five years old.
a wanderer from Pittsburg, appeared at
Seventh and Flatbush Avenues. A no.
liceman thought Patchen looked like
Young and arrested him in no time at
all. Captain Titus was notified and sent
Detective Jackson over to see the man.
> Jackson saw at once that the man was
not Young and suggested that he be re-
leased. But once in Brooklyn station
a prisoner has to spend the night there.

him out, so Patchen was led back to
cell. He will be arraigned in court to-

POLITICAL RIGHTS OF
FEDERAL employees
Question Raised at Meeting
of a Republican Club.
Ruling of Public Printer Prevents Men
in Department From Holding Office
in Political Organization.

The Civil Service Commission will be
asked to determine to what extent the
head of Government department car
curtail the political rights of employees
The question was raised at a meetina
yesterday afternoon of the New York
State Republican Club held at its hall
514 Ninth Street northwest
The meeting was largely attended.
When the time arrived to call the ses-
sion to order there was great surprise,
as the president, Mr.. William c. Con-
nor. declined to take the chair, stating
as his reason that Public Printer Palmer
had issued an order that no employe
OF the Government Printing Office you'd
be permitted to hold an official position
in any political organization. Mr.. Con-
nor is an employe of the Government
Printing Office. being assistant foreman
of the bindery department. He ex
planned that he would be subject to dis
missal if he continued in an official ca
pacity with the club.
The ruling of Public Printer Palmer is
made public in civil service circular
recently issued. There was considerable
Indignation expressed when the members
of the club learned of the order, as most
of them are employees of the Govern
ment.
Postponed Election.
Mr.. E. j. Cantwell who is not in the
service of the public printing office. was
elected chairman of the meeting. A
committee was then appointed to visit
the Civil Service Commission and OBJ
tain ruling in regard to the privi-
leges OF Government employees in the
matter of holding positions in political
clubs or societies. Members of the club
expressed the opinion that the public
he has made.
The election of officers was postponed
until after the report of the special
committee is received. The next meet
ing will be held October 5, and the at
titude of the Civil Service Commission
will be made public at that time.
A report was received from the conf
nittee on transportation TO the effect
hat voters tickets will be issued for
New York city and Brooklyn for regis
tration October 8, 10, II. l6. II and IS,
limited to FIVE days. and for election
November i, 2. 8 and 4, limited to No

Tickets will be issued for Interstate
points on the same date for registra-
ton and election, the rates being one
