AsBURY PARK, n. j., March ls.-The Rev.
John Wesley sullivan, cha plain of the
Pennsylvania Senate and a pastor in As

that place for special prayers. The Mayor,
who is the editor of a newspaper in Manas-
guam, commenting on the minister's gratui-
tous insult, as he terms 1t, says
If do not care nov much Sullivan prays.
He can pray for every officer in the nation
if he sees fit, beginning with the President
and keeping on down to the pound keeper,
but / do object to him singing out the
Mayor of Manasquan and announcing that
he is not a Christian
The Mayor adds that when he is In need
q pray yer he reserves the privilege of choos-
ing the man to do the job. He says there
are a few good ministers in Manasquan who,
he thinks, are capable OF performing the
work.

The Rev. Mr.. Sullivan is dazed at the
Mayors attitude. He says all politicians
are worth praying for and the Mayor is no
exception to the rule.

In the adjoining column you
will notice a cigar advertisement,
We have been responsible for
the entire advertising campaign
of Herbert D. Shivers from its
very start. I,
That this business has been a
success, and is still a large and
growing success, and that this
success is, in a large measure, due
to its advertising, no one appre-
ciates more than Mr.. Shivers.
He is good enough to permit us
ITO publish this statement.
Another tribute to the success
\of this advertiser comes from its
host of imitators.
There is probably no other
service for a business so cheaply
procured as that of an Advertis-
4ing Agent.
Everything he does, if he is
honest, stands for economy, and
since it costs no more to do adj
vertising with the Agents assist
ance than without, the advertiser
actually gets the service for moth
ing.
Those firms whose advertising
is the most successful have recog-
nized this.
We r glad of an opportunity
to show a possible advertiser the
campaigns that we are conducting
for our clients.

than they thought.
He said Receiver Lyons authorized him

Carolina Congress district had suggested
to John l.. Casper Of Winston, n. c., that if
IS, 900 were raised he would guarantee that
A. L. Holton would never be United States
District Attorney for the Asheville district.
Both Mr.. Blackburn and Mr.. Holton were
before the committee when the affidavit
wes produced, the former to oppose Holton's
nomination to succeed himself as District
Attorney, and Mr.. Holton to answer the
charges. Upon evidence presented by Dis
trict Attorney Holton, Mr.. Blackburn was
recently indicted at Asheville on the charge
of practising before Government depart
ments for compensation. Mr.. Blackburn
filed charges with the Judiciary Committee
that Mr.. Holton had falsifed his official
expense accounts.
Mr.. Holton has been very active in prose-
cutting violations of the internal revenue
laws in the Asheville district. Mr.. Casper
is a distiller. In his sworn statement he
says that he met Blackburn at Greensboro,
that he was asked by Blackburn how much
he would give to defeat Holton's confirma-
ton, that he answere that he was not in
a position to pay anything, and that Black
burn asked If he would not see other people

affidavit, came the suggestion about the

There was a sensational scene at the
meeting. The members of the sub-com-
mittee are Senators Foraker, Kittredge
and Blackburn, and in addition to Repre-
sentative Blackburn and District Attorney
Holton there appeared before them United
States Assistant Attorney-Genera Robb,
representing Holton, and Solicitor Hayes Of
the Internal Revenue Bureau. Mr.. Holton
made an answer to the charges against
him and Representative Blackburn ex-
planned his allegations in detail.
Mr.. Blackburn is the only Republican
Congressman from North Carolina. He
has opposed the faction Of that party in
the State with which Mr.. Holton is affiliated.

WITHHELD FROM THE PRESS.
Prof. Moore Tells Why He Made the Order
Not 10 Furnish BarOmetrIcaI Readings.

WASHINGTON, March 1s.-Prof. Willis l..
Moore, the chief of the Weather Bureau
admitted to-day that he had issued the
order to withhold official barometrical
readings from the newspapers. He assumed
responsibility for this action on the grounds
Of expediency and economy. He-declared
that local barometrio readings are Of
little importance to any one except to a
trained meteorological, and then only when
used in connection with readings from
all parts OF the country, in determining
weather forecasts. To such persons as
desire the readings for the purpose of cor
recting their W barometers, he says, the
information will be furnished by the bureau
and its branches.
at has been a regulation Of the bureau
for several years not to furnish the news
papers with these readings" said Prof.
Moore to-day; there are only one or two
places where it is of any Importance what
l did not now until recently that 1t was
given out at any place. A few days ago
Philadelphia asked for the readings, and
/ replied that the Information was not dis
seminated by the bureau: They replied
that New York received them and upon
investigation found that this statement
was true. / thereupon issued the order
that they should not be given out in New
York except to such persons as might want
them for their own private information, to
correct their own barometers.
Time and experience have taught us
hat these local readings are Of little value
and that there is a great deal OF other in
formation which can be and Is disseminated
in its place which Is Of Importance, and il
is for this reason that the order was issued.
"A false value has been placed upon these
barometric readings. They are accessible
to all the maritime and commercial agencies,
where people interested can see them
The data are indicated on the isoborio ines
on the big maps which are on exhibition In
these places, and this meets all the re-
q~uirements except those Of persons who
have their own barometers, and the infor-
nation Is accessible to them IL they will
ask for It,"
