Church.

LIVERPOOL, Dec 9O.-At a meeting of
Pembroke chapel tonight a written COM
munication from Rev. Charles f. Aked
the pastor was read to the effect that
after long and anxious consideration he
had decided to accept the call to the Fifth
Avenue Baptist church of New York and
he therefore placed his resignation in their
hands. DR.. Aked said he did this with
more real regret than he was able to de-
scribe. They had worked together, he
said, for more than sixteen years and ties
so tender and sacred were not to be
broken except under compulsicn of proved
necessity. That necessity, he added ex-
listed and had been growing clearer and
clearer to him for a considerable time.
Since his Illness, the work at Pembroke
chapel, DR.. Aked said, had been too heavy
for him.
DR.. Aked said that he would not leave
Liverpool before next March.
The Associated Press here learns that
during the last week DR.. Aked received
several cablegrams from prominent MEM
bers of the Fifth avenue church in New
York, urging his acceptance of the call.
John d. Rockefeller, It Is said, cabled DR..
Aked assuring him a free hand" in his
work and Rev. Hugh Black. former min
lister of St. Georges Free Church, Edin-
burgh, who Is now In New York. oabied
that America needed him even more than

TRAGEDY ENDS LOVE AFFAIR
Wife of Aged Man Shot and Fatally
Injured by Young
Lover.

NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-A young woman
who, with her companion, Sidney Kauf-
man, was shot while both were guests at
the Hotel Knickerbocker on the East Side
early today, died at Bellevue hospital this
afternoon. The dead woman was Mrs. Eva
/. Totten, the wife of John TOtten of
Tottenville, Staten Island. She was 93
years of age and her husband is in his
SD year. They were married two years
ago
Her companion at the Hotel Knicker-

OF revolver shots, found Kaufman and the
woman unconscious in the room assigned

MORE PAY FOR POSTAL MEN
Department Asserts IL f. Necessary
to Keep Up Grade of the
Service.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3O.-Failure at this
time to increase materially the compensa-
ton of postoffice employees, thus keeping
pace with the advancing wages in other
lines of employment, viii seriously Jeopar-
die the efficiency of the service.
This statement Is taken from the annual
report Of First Assistant Postmaster Cen
eral Hitchcock, made public today. The
need of new legislation to make the postal
ser'tce more attractive in order to retain
present employees and as an inducement for
good men to enter the service is treated
extensively by Mr.. Hitchcock, who pre-
sents plan for the consideration OF con-
gress.
Higher wages in other classes of employ
ment, taken with the Increased cost Of
living, have rendered pronounced the in
adequacy of the postoffice salaries. AS a
result the designations from the service
have increased at an alarming rate and
the standard of men going into the service
has greatly deteriorated in the last year.
Mr.. Hitchcock's report shows that in first
and second-class offices there were ap-
proximately 20,O0O clerks in the grades
ranging from 5000 to $1,000, and Of these
clerks 2S4O, or about 12.s per cent, resigned
during the year. OF 1900 letter carriers
dltdCneu TO tneSe OTuCeS buls OF dDOul so
per cent, voluntarily left the service.
Statistics fer the quarter ended Septem-
ber 80 last and for the month OF October
are even more striking. During the quar-
ter e29 clerks and 9O5 carriers resigned,
while incomplete returns for october
showed the resignation of 356 clerks and
eighty-one carriers. From 1913 per cent for
the fiscal year the annual rate Of resigna-
tions by clerks advanced TO 1876 per cent
for the quarter ended September 80 and TO
2O.S per cent for the month of October.
In the case of carriers the annual rate of
resignation, which was &c for the fiscal
year, rose to 3.5 for the quarter and to Al
per cent for October.
Mr. Hitchcock recommends establishing
for both clerks and carriers six grades OF
compensation, the annual salary to be $500
for the initial grade $500 for the second
grade and for the four succeeding grades
5000 1900. s1,1OO and LOO, respectively;
and of providing for the advancement OF
clerks and carriers in first-class offices
from the $500 initial grade 70 $500 after
one years service to $500 at two years
service, to s., 900 after three years service
and for the advancement OF clerks and car
riers in second-class offices to $500 after one
years service to $500 after two years serv'
ice.

EXPORTS TO PANAMA LARGE
over Fourteen Million Dollars Sent in
Merchant Ships During
the Year,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3O.-The remark
able growth in the export trade of the
United States with Panama within the last
two years is shown in a statement issued
today by the bureau OF statistics OF the
Department Of Commerce and Labor. From
little more than $2.5OO,OCo in exports to
Panama two years ago. American trade
with that country for the present year
shows an aggregate OF more than $4,000
OOO II is shown that for the eleven months
ending with November the export trade
amounted to S12,e6S,sn and the figures for
the single month OF November totaled
S1,2735O7.
These figures cover only the exports to
Panama sent in merchant vessels and do
not include that sent by government trans
ports or naval vessels What proportion
of this export trade Is intended for gov
ernment consumption cannot be determined
at present, It is stated, but a considerable
part of the merchandise is doubtless in
tended for use by the government in the
construction OF the canal or on the Panama
railroad. The exports from Panama into
the United States will aggregate nearly
81 10000 at the close Of the present year.
