OIL KINGS DEFENSE.
Henry Gaynor Declares Attacks On
Rockefeller Are Malicious.

CLEVELAND, O., Sept. 13.-Tne
life and business methods of John D.
Rockefeller were vigorously and
openly defended by Henry Gaynor of
st. Louis at the prayer meeting of
the Euclid Avenue Baptist church
last week. The "oil king had just
announced his renewal of his cove
nant with Christ, the church, and
it's people," the annual avowal of the
covenant of the church on the part
of it's members.
1t was the first time in Rockefel-
ler's life that the prayer meeting of
mis- church had been the defense of his
business methods. He took it all with
complacent smile.
The pastor, the Reverend Charles
A. Eaton, smiled bit too, and a few
of the church members said amen"
The oil king waited to speak until
called upon by Doctor Eaton. Rock
efeller spoke of the pleasure he felt
upon Doctor Eatons return. He
spoke for five minutes and then apol-
ogized for speaking so long. Then Mr..
Gaynor arose.
Il am from Missouri and have to be
shown, but I have been shown by
what mas occurred here tonight" he
said with much emphasis.
THE vicious and malicious attacks
made by magazines upon one promi-
nent member of this church are SIM
ply nauseating to the people of ST.
Louis.
THE dignified silence with which
he has met these attacks meets with
the hearty commentator of the
people of my home city. The attacks
are wholly without foundation, and
but besmirch the good reputation Of
a righteous and God-fearing man.

FEW DEMOCRATS TAKE ADVANT-
AGE OF THE EXAMINATIONS
FOR ELIGIBLES.
Hence the Rating Of Applicants Is
in the North.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. ID
Ever since the republican party came
into power at the end of the last
Cleveland administration there mas
been more or less talk of discrimina-
ton against democrats, and especial
ly against those from the southern
states in the public service. It has
even been charged that the rules of the
civil service commission itself were
frequently stretched" to favor a re-
publican against a democratic appli
cant.
1t is possible that there may have
been a bisis for some of these charges,
but it is obvious that many of them
are absolutely baseless. It is too
much to expect a dominant party to
go far out of it's way to favor men,
bers of the opposition with places in
the government service, but there is
no reason to doubt the impartiality Of
the methods of the civil service COM
mission or to believe that it is in
fuenced by the politics of those ex-
amined by it.

GREAT BRITAIN WILL OBJECT
WILL NOT ALLOW A WAR BE-
TWEEN NORWAY AND
SWEDEN.
A Peaces.bIe Settlement Must Be Made
Negotiations by ENJOYS to
be Resumed.

LONDON, Sept. 13.-It is believed
that the British government is en-
deavoring to prevent a war between
Sweden and Norway by more forcible
means than mere persuasion. 1t is re-
garded as certain that the government
has made it known that Great Britain
will not allow forcible settlement. A
dispatch from Christiana says that the
Norwegian and Swedish ENJOYS will re-
turn to Karstad tonight to resume ne
gotiations. There Is strong hope of
the PRONUNCIATION of an arbitration trea-
ty to settle all future disputes. 1t is
declared in Stockholm, that the Swed-
ish position is unalterable.

Stunned the Examinations.

Some time ago Commissioner Greene
of the commission, made a trip through
Kentucky, North Carolina and Ten
nessee on official business, and while
in those states he investigated many
matters connected with the work of
the body of which he is a number One
of the results was the discovery that
democrats as class refrain from par
ticipating in civil service examina-
ton, and thus there was explained, in
a degree, a matter which has been
troubling the commission for some
time past-the difficulty or impossible
ity of maintaining registers of south
ern eligibles sufficiently large to en-
able the southern states to receive
their proper quota of federal appoint
ments. Commissioner Greene permit
ted himself to be interviewed about the
matter, so that the results of his in
vestigations might become widely
known, and now the commission is
doing everything in its power to cor
rect the conditions.

Defeats Purpose of Law.

Mr.. Greene points out that such a
condition of affairs really defeats
the purpose of the civil service act.
without general participation by
the public of all classes and parties
in the competitive examinations held
for the purpose of filing positions in
the. classified service" says he. the
intent of the law as to the non-parti-
Fan character of appointments can
not be carried out. IT, however, there
IS that general participation in the
southern states which prevails in the
northern sta es, the civil service COM
mission will undertake to see that ap-
pointments are made to the service
without any regard whatever to the
politics of the eligibles."
How Applicants Fare.

ness of the commission is conducted

Causes Of Hesitancy.

Various causes are assigned for the
reluctance of southern democrats to
become applicants for places. Mr.
Greene's idea is that most of them feel
that the spoils still belong to the VIC
tors, academic assurance to the con-
trary Notwithstanding, and that, there
fore, a democrat, regardless of the
showing he might be able to make
really stands little chance of ap-
pointment.
In an effort to correct this impress
sion, Mr.. Greene calls attention to
the non-partisan character of the ap-
pointments made under the civil SER
vice law, and he insists that the only
reason republicans are so largely in
the majority, in the minor federal Of
fees of the south is because demo-
cratic citizens have persistently failed
20 take the examinations, thus giving
the republican applicants practically
clear field, ana leaving the COM
mission with a list of eligibles COM
posed almost wholly of republicans
When places are open it is these re-
publicans, of course, who are called

Detecting submarine Boats.

Liability to accident is not the only
weakness of the submarine war boats,
according to q writer in the Scientific
Review of Paris, Ernest Constet. 1t
is not true that a submarine torpedo
boat can drop out of sight of the enc
my by simply ducking under the sur.
face. Says Mr. Constet:
The invisibility of the submarine is far
from being as absolute as Is generally
imagined. It's submergence, in the first
place, is greatly limited by the necessity
OF always keeping the periscope above
water, for without this the pilot could not
steer not for lack OF light, as has been
wrongly stated. but because the slightest
motion of the water deforms all images
by continually changing refractions that
make all guidance impossible.
But nevertheless this medium in which
the boat, II completely submerged, would
wander blndly Is rarely SO Opaque as tc
hide II entirely from the view Of those
who are on the lookout for It, The trans
parency of sea water is singularly II;
creased In certain regions by the mineral
and organic substances that it holds in
suspension.
The writer points out that an OBJ
server on high point, as cliff, or Ill
a balloon, and also in certain waters,
on the bridge of a ship, can see the
bottom of the ocean where the depth
is several hundred feet. He suggests
that balloons be tried as submarine de
tecters for the daytime and sound sig
nails for foggy weather and for dark
ness. Sounds have been detected IN
der water at a distance of eighty
miles by instruments and fifteen miles
with the ear unassisted. With this
weakness overcome by the discovery
of a silent means Of propulsion, the
submarine can become a formidable
lighting machine under certain con-
1itionS

Post BeIlum Battles.

As the japanese ENJOYS predicted at
Portsmouth. the news of peace could
not be sent to the extremities of the
japanese lines so as to secure prompt
cessation of hostilities. The news was
flashed to Tokyo Aug. % as well as to
st. Petersburg but on Sept. l and 3 the
japanese attacked the Russians On the
main line in Manchuria.
During the American civil war there
was sporadic fighting between the Fed
erals and Confederates long after Lees
surrender, which was not an official
conclusion of peace. but was a cue by
mutual consent to stop fighting wher-
ever the news spread. This was slow
because of the lack of telegraphic com
munication. The last fight of the war
occurred at Palmetto ranch, Texas,
May IL, 1865, more than a month after
Appomattox. The last hostile acts I'M
der the Confederate flag took place in
the north Pacific ocean in July. 1865,
where the Confederate cruiser Shenan-
doah was raiding the United States
whaling fleets. The cruisers command
er got news of peace Aug. ., ceased
hostilities and steered for England.
AS a matter of fact, the United States
government has declared that the civil
war did not end until Aug 20, 1865.
However, AppomattoX is considered
the end of the war. The most notable
post bellum battle in American history
was that won by General Andrew
Jackson at New Orleans Jan. s, 1915.
A treaty of peace had been signed at
Client on Dec. 81, 1914, and 1t is fair
to presume that the terms would have
been more favorable to the United
States had the victory Of New Orleans
been accomplished before the terms
were agreed upon.

While on the subject Of baking it is
well to take note of the alarming fact
that an attempt is being made to knead
