for us to appreciate what hundred
years of life meant. Mother Parker s
career began when Napoleon of France
and Kamehameha of Hawaii were in
the zenith of their power. In consid-
ering hundred years of life, if nine
teen such We're piled up they would ex-
tend back to the time of Christ and
forty-One to the time of Adam, when
the foundations of the earth were laid
and the morning stars sang together.
The missionary work had left its i'm
press upon these Islands. Great things
have been accomplished. These mis-
sionaries were human and many were
learned men. They translated the
Bible into Hawaiian, made a written
language for the people, and later DR..
Bingham translated the Bible into the
Gilbertese language. They were men
of great caliber.
Rev. Henry Parker read several selec-
tions from the Scriptures.
DIR. Serene Bishop. the venerable son
of one of the original year 1920 mis-
sionaries to arrive in Hawaii, offered
prayer. He thanked the Lord for pro-
longing the life of the Mother Parker
who had given an example of holy
life and of fidelity to missionary and
consecrated work He thanked the AL
mighty that she was witness of His
work in the past in these favored Isles.

Gasoline Trolley's New Rival

An exhaustive test of a gasoline motor
car designed to meet the competition OF
the electric car, was made on the Chicago
ana Alton railroad at Chicago yesterday.
betWeen Chicago and ST. Louis it is pro.
posed to build an electric line parallel 10
the Alton tracks. The Alton company has
determined to furnish between these points
as good service as would be possible on an
eiectflc line. After trying light trains
hauled by small steam engines, the Alton
people reached the conclusion that a single
car using gasoline, as motive power was
pest adapted for short trips at high speed
with frequent stols, in a district where
passenger traffic is unusually heavy Dur
ing test runs made yesterday the car.
loaded to it's capacity. attained q rate of
forty miles an hour. 1t takes much less
tlme in reaching full speed from a dead
stop than the light trains drawn by steam
engines AS result of the experiments
the Alton will purchase enough gasoline
motor cars to take the place of the steam
trains which have been used in the com
pany's interurban service

REMOVED BELL BUoYS.
Rivermen Complain Of Action OF
Lighthouse Authorities.

There Is considerable complaint made by
the steamboat men on the Potomac over
the fact that when the buoy tender Maple
look after the buoys and to make them
ready for winter service the two bell buoys,
marking the upper and lower ends of the
Kettle Bottom shoals, the most difficult
piece of water in the river to navigate with
safety, were removed and replaced with
spars. The rivermen claim that these bell
buoys were of the greatest aid to them in
navigating the. Kettle Bottoms, and with
them moved 1t has made the carrying of a
large steamer through the shoals doubly
difficult This is particularly so of the
steamers whose schedules compel them to
pass through the Kettle Bottoms at night
when no shore marks can be seen to aid
them in locating the best water of the
channel. Said a steamboat man to q re-
porter for The Star:
THE lighthouse authorities might as well
remove the lighthouses on the river every
winter as to remove the bell buoys. on
which the steamboat man depends for guild
ing of the bell across the water giving him
the position of his boat and enabling him to
steer his course to clear the humps and
shoal spots that mark the lower portion Of
the river"
The matter will be brought to the atten-
ton of the lighthouse authorities and an
effort made to have the bell buoys replaced
at least until Ice forms and there Is some
indication that freeze Is about to set in
which, up to this time, has not been the
case this year.

FEAR TOBACCO TRADE WAR.
If Maryland Association Decides to
Oppose Trust.

Tobacco importers, dealers and consumers
are promised the experience of trade war
which may send up prices on certain grades
of tobacco If the Maryland Tobacco Grow
ers' Association is able to carry out the
campaign it has planned. says the Washing
ton correspondent of the New York Even
Ing Post. A meeting Of Its members has
been called for January 4 next, at the
Maryland Agricultural College. not far from
this city, TO sconsiier the adoption of an
ironclad agreement intended to reach sew
eral points which have been troubling the
trade of this section of the country. Among
the abuses complained of are a restricted
market, the Squeezing tactics of commits
sion men, alleged threats by the latter of
boycotting If the growers sell elsewhere and
the lack of an absolute standard of grad
ing. There is desired a uniformity which
will show when crop has been harvested
and packed Just what the tobacco repre-
sents and what 1t ought to bring, approx
mately, at market prices.
AS to the restricted market, 1t Is as
serted that there are but seven buyers in
the world-one representing the American
tobacco trust" and the others foreign gov
ernments. which have tobacco monopoly.
These buyers are charged with fixing the
price they will pay, and refusing to touch
the crop under any other considerations.
The Maryland growers have learned that
their Tennessee brethren banded together
and put up the price from ga to liz cents
a pound, and think they will be able to do
something of the same sort, at least
not continue subject to the repressive meas
ures adopted by the buyers. The growers
also feel great interest in uniformity of
grading, and especial attention will be given
this by the association, as part of the
discussion of increasing yield by proper
breeding and selection of seed.
The Maryland crop last year amounted
to $1,000 hogsheads, so there is ample OPP
portunity for making tests along scientific
lines. Experiments which have been made
elsewhere show what can be accomplished
in the way of developing greater yield uni
formity Of leaf and evenness Of maturity.
all of which tends to increased profits for
the growers. There Is a likelihood, there
land tobacco men, while opening with dis
cussions as how best to beat the trust, may
devote much of Its time to consideration of
these scientific methods which have brought

Harvard Building Named for Emerson,

Emerson Hall, the new home of the phil

Emerson was dedicated at Cambridge
Mass, yesterday, in the presence of the
members Of the American Philosophical
and Psychological Association and the va
rious governing boards Of the university.
Prof. Hugo Munsterberg, head of the de-
partment Of philosophy spoke and the
speakers We're President Charles w. Eliot
ana Or. Edward Waldo Emerson a son Of
the great American. Prof. Munsterberg
paid graceful tribute to Emerson when he
introduced the son, saying in part: For
1000 years the world has shown a necessity
for the union of idealism and realism. We
have seen especially In the last two-thirds
o. the nineteenth century the reign of real
ism, and 1t does not take much to see that
the twentieth century must be idealistic
Emerson was certainly the, strongest expo
nent of the last tdealistic movement, which
started with the gigantic Kant, and 1t may
be that he will become the leader in the
new movement" DR. Emerson spoke briefly.

City Ownership Proved Expensive.

For the privilege Of owning its own ferry

by the statement. Increase in the number
OF men employed on the boats, increase In
the amount Of wages. as compared with the
rate paid when the ferry was under private
ownership. together with a reduction Of

far the number of passengers carried since
the city assumed control has averaged 23,-

ANOTHER INDIANA SCANDAL.
Governor Demands Resignation o:
Secretary of State.

Daniel H. Storms, serving his second term
as secretary of state, was asked at In
dianapols yesterday to resign by Gov
Hanly on account of further Irregularities
discovered in his office by the auditing COM
mittee which has been at work under direc-
ton of the governor for the past two
months. The request for the secretary's
resignation came after a long conference
at which the governor, Attorney General
Miller and Storms were present. None of
the parties would discuss the matter, re-
fusing either to affirm or deny the report
It was learned though, from trustworthy
sources that Gov. Hanly had received a re-
port from the auditing committee that it
showed Irregularities in the office of the
secretary of state, that the governor and
attorney general were in conference Tues
day over the same matter, that the ex-
ecutive then determined to ask Storms to
resign, and that the conference was called
yesterday morning for that purpose.
When Storms was asked regarding the re-
port he refused to make any reply to the
question, and Gov. Hanly, when asked to
confirm or deny 1t. declared that he had
nothing to say.
Friends of Storms are urging him to re-
fuse to resign, and he has been advised by
lawyers that the governor has no power to
remove him, he being a constitutional Of
fcer and subject to removal by the legiS-
lature only, after Impeachment and trial.
