Washington, March %. =

Washington, March 26. = A long
step In the direction of placing the
rural carriers of the United States on
an equal footing with other fedral
employees was taken Yesterday when
the house adopted the amendment IN
the postoffice appropriation bill IN
creasing the pay of the carriers to
1920 year and prohibiting them
from acting as agents or solicitors
for hire The action of the house
followed one Of the most animated de-
bates that has taken place In congress
at this session.
Tt is noteworthy that in the dis
cussion on the floor yesterday the al
legged friends of the carriers had lit
tie to say on the subject of increased
salaries. Prompted by firms and cor
porations interested in the carriers
only for selfish ends the srbject OF
increased salaries has been scarcely
mentioned during the past week,
while President Cunningham and his

string that the carriers of the coun-
trv would rise IN their might if the
agency business was abridged. This
was the straw that broke the camel s
hack. The carriers of Indiana and
the country gener ally owe it to Cum
bingham ard those associated with
him that their pay was not increased

Coercion is the only term that can
be applied to the campaign hat has
been conducted here during the EAST
few weeks. Seated in the galleries of
the house IN an effort to in+imidate
members, the agents of the firms and
corporations interested in promoting
their own business on rural routes to
the prejudice of competitors inflicted
irreparable harm to their cause.
The house was in an ugly mood

THE .POwER of CHRIST"
South Side Baptist Revival Services
Will Close Tonight.

From the subject 1.-The Power of
Christ" Rev. ]. I. Oxford last night
preached a strong sermon to a congre-
cation which filled the South Side Bap-
fist Church. At the close of the ser
mon two Joined by experience. The
text for the sermon was taken from 1
Corinthians, i:22-23-24:
For the Jews require sign, and the
Greeks seek after wisdom. But we
preach Christ crucifed, unto the Jews
stumbling block, and unto the Greeks
foolishness but unto them which are
called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ
the power of God, and the wisdom of
God"
ITO the learned and skeptical
Greeks" said Mr.. oxford, land to the
priests of the people who had con-
demned Him to death. the fact that
the Christ that had been cruciffed still
had unlimited power, seemed the hight
of foolishness. His miracles were
looked upon as myths and His rising
from the grave scoffed at and ridi-
culed. To those not called, the Christ
crucified had no power.
ITO Paul. however, the case was diff
ferent. The eyes which had been blind
ed on the road to Damascus now saw
clearly through faith that to the Son
of God all power had been given.
Through Him, and through Him alone,
could fallen man be saved. In God
sight the wisdom of the world was
foolishness, and what the world called
foolishness was wisdom. Christ had tn"
power to save even to the uttermost.
while on this earth Christ had
shown His great power in many ways.
He had with a word Gained the deep;
with word had baffled satan. He had
raised the dead, cured the sick, healed
the blind and cast out devils. He had
shown Himself lord of Nature and Ma
lures laws. His power had saved the
most fallen and of humble fishermen
made mighty apostles. His wisdom had
become part of them.
Though assembled into heaven, His
power is the same to-day To each
one of us He offers His help. His
power can save the lowest and the
most sinful. He offers us life eternal.
without money and without price. If
we believe, His great power to save
and uplift will be freely given u.s."
The services will close with the SER
mon tonight. The text of the farewell
sermon will be taken from Acts, xx:S2,
''And now, brethren, I commend you
to God and to the word of His grace,
which is able to build you up and to
give you an inheritance among all them
which are sanctified."

Negro in Her Bedroom-Man Took
His Time About Leaving Premises
When He Saw He Was Not Being

Cribb, Thoroughly Frightened,
Called for Help.

Miss Cribs trunk when she awoke.
He ran from the room when the young
lady jumped from bed.
Two young children were sleeping in
the same Soom with Miss Crib and she
walked them as the negro was leaving.
The three watched him make his exit
from the house. He paused as he was
going down the back steps, and looked
to see If he was pursued. There was
no one following, and he stopped.
The young lady then called for as
sistance and several young men, who
room on the floor above, responded. The
negro MADE MS escape as the men came
down stairs. A careful search was
made of the yard and vicinity, but no
trace of the negro could be found

seen looting two pair of ladies' shoes,
one of them white canvas, and the
other patent leather, a pair of black
silk hose and a pocketbook, containing

good for the Knights of Columbus pic
mic to Tybee yesterday.
The matter was reported to the po-
lice, and detectives are at work on the

to furnish an accurate description of
the negro. She was so badly frightened
she cannot remember how he looked,
though she had a good view of him.
