NEW RATE DOESN'T
 HELP TICKET SALES
Railroad Men Declare That There Is \" More Travel in State Under
 two Gen. Law Than Before.

't)ls lar the neW tWO-cent rate in Arkansas seems to have had practical {, iN n6 effect oa passenger traffic in this state says the Little Rock Gazette. Before the inauguration of the two cent rate law in Arkansas several weeks ago il was thought by the rail road companies operating in the state that passenger traffic would show a decided Increase as soon as the law went into effect. It was thought that the public would take advantage of the cheaper rate as soon as the law was effective, but, on the contrary. there has been no incrase whatever so the officials of the various lines operating in Arkansas say, in the pas senger traffic.
 This fact is said to be especially true on the lines running out of Lit tie Rock. There has been practically no change, it is said in the amount of passenger traffic out of this city since the inauguration of the tWo-cent rate law. About the usual number of tick cts are sold and about the same num- Der of people arrive in the city each day as was the case prior to the en- actment or the new law.
 In discussing the matter railroad men advance the idea that it is not known generally over the state that one could travel now for two cents mile instead of three, while others be-. lieve that the inauguration of a new law affecting rates on railroads in Ar kansas is generally known throughout the state, but that the majority of the people do not understand what 1t means as yet and think that it applies to railroad matters which would not affect them in any way were they to take trip in the state.
 Others believe that the public fully realizes the fact that travel in Arkan- sas is now one cent cheaper per mile, but that the season is not right for travel and that the public as yet is not prepared to take advantage of the new rate. Those advancing this opin- ion think that the traffic will open later and that the business during the coming summer between Arkansas points will be greater than ever be- fore An extra large amount of travel from various Arkansas points to Hot Springs, Arkansas leading resort, IS expected this summer as the result of the cheap rate.

New York, April 21-Res. Charles r. Aked' ter 15 years pastor Of the second largest Protestant church in England, where he gained wid., rep utation by successful campaians against all forms of vice, today formally transferred his activities fe America and assumed the pastorate of the Fifth Avenue Baptist church of this city.
 Dr. Aked's labors in Liverpool, where he was pastor of Pembroke chapel, drew the attention not only ef all England, but even Europe, be- cause of his extraordinary ability as a preacher.
 Dr. Aked first preached at the Fifth Avenue church early last winter and left d deep impression upon the members. Subsequently, a call went out to him to serve as pastor of this influential New York church, q call which received the earnest endorse ment of John D. Rockefeller. who k one of the pillars of the Fifth Ave- hue congregation.
 The new minister's sermon today was ill the nature of message to the American people Dr. Aked declared he was here to preach to all men--to take his place with the leaders of all the churches and to summon all his energies to battle with the problems that trouble American life. He could not, he declared, join narrow 1 church. His is to be the ministry of recOnciliation-unfe and l1n- bounded

 Prominent among those present to- day was John D. Rockefeller Jr., di- rector of the churchs Bible class. Mr. Rockefeller Sr. was not present in the morning. but participated in the evening service.
 In the course of his sermon pr. Aked said:
 It is not for me to lecture you about American conditions. It is for me to learn from you what they are But the thoughtless onlooker from the old world who has ever read page of history knows, that in the rush shores Of millions of the Ell ropean peoples, von are confronted by problem such as no nation has ever yet had to solve since history began.

 Problem of the Foreigner.
 You know what races of the old world are pouring themselves into your land. You know what colonies of people, separated from yourselves by thought, by feeling, by tradition, by religion, by language, are established within your city boundaries and in all the great cities of the land. This is an ethnic question, a race question. It is a question as to the kind of people American people are to become. It IS question whether the primal Amer ican stock is to be vitiated by the in r-permeation of an inferior race. It is something still nearer; if is a na- tional question, a question of political

with disturbing the public peace with
loud and unseemly noises, an informa-
ton was filed yesterday afternoon
against Mrs. Scott NJ. Laid, wife of
the supreme court judge, by Harry

and can be easily acquired. This Is
what happens at the mission. | saw
