Asked for Evangelical Work by Min

Cleveland, Aug. 1S.-John D.. Rookie
feller was invited to contribute $780,
100000 to the cause of evangelism to-
day. Immediately after hearing the
invitation delivered from the pulpit OF
the Rockefeller home church, the Bu-
clld Avenue Baptist, by the Rev. Cort'
landt Myers, of New York, the Stand
ard Oil magnate gripped the preach
er's hand cordially and invited him
to Forest Hill TO dinner. The invita-
ton was accepted promptly and the
world soon may hear of another enor'
nous gift from the Golfers of the
worlds richest man.
Rev. Mr.. Myers, who is the Rev.
Charles Parkhurst's lieutenant double
in the latter's work, and who heads
the society for the enforcement Of
criminal work, took occasion to fay
newspapers and these he charged with
responsibility for the impression that

for a square deal and predicting that

tion, misunderstanding and criticism
cannot long be endured.
z Mr., Rockefeller listened intently to
the Rev Mr. Myers. At the conclus-

SIXTY HORSES
Destroyed and Two Men
Seriously Burned in
Fire Of Livery Barn.


Special to Morning News.
Massillon, Aug. 1.-TWO men were
burned, one fatally, and sixty horses
consumed in FIRE which destroyed
the livery barn of william Bantz on
fremont street tonight at 1 o'clock.
Lawrence Lyons, the night watchman,
is the man who is not expected to re-
cover from the burns he received as
he was half roasted when found. He
was taken to Mount Airy hospital.
The other man, whose name is un-
known, was also taken from thesburn.
ing building and is now in the hos
pital. He is badly burned but wheth-
er fatally or not is not known. The
loss on the building and contents is
estimated at $4,000. The origin Of
the fire is unknown.
II was shortly after / o'clock when
the fire was discovered and the flames
seemed to shoot from all parts Of the
building at once. The fire department
was prompt in answering the call but
1t was soon seen that the building
could not be saved, and heroic efforts
were necessary TO protect the nearby
houses The department was made
quate to fight the fre and volunteers
were called for. Hundreds OF citl.
zens answered the call and formed
bucket brigades and helped materially
in saving the surrounding houses from
destruction.
When the department first arrived
on the soene the men were able to
enter the building. The watchman
was not seen about the place and the
iremen entered the flaming stable in
search for him. They found him ly-
ing in the Office half roasted and near
by the body OF the unknown man.
Both were taken from the building
and sent at once to the hospital.
BY the time the men had been
found by the detail sent for them the
building was so filled with fire that
II was impossible to make any effort
screams Of pain and terror could be
heard for blocks. The noise OF then
racing about In the burning tiilding
trying to find an exit sounded like
the charge Of heavy cavalry but moth.
Ing could be done TO rescue them. |

about. the inside OF the structure and
seemed not to be able TO find their way

IN acre OF ground. Besides the 90
horses which we're burned a large |
number of vehicles OF various kinds
we're also destroyed asSwell as great
Itore Of feed and grain.

WHY AMERICA NEEDS A PARCELS
POST.

Tne united states is Dehlnd tne rest
pf the world in good many respects.
You may not have realized II, but II
Is a fact; and one of the points which
bhe suffers most by comparison is her
lack Of PARCELS POST.
Postmaster General Villas wanted It.
wanamaker wanted it. Bissell want.
ed 1t. Now Meyer wants II. Backed
by the administration, he will urge 1t
before the next congress.
WHY does America NEED par
tels post?
Here are four very definite answers
10 that:
An express package weighing three
pounds was sent from an American
city to city Of the Argentine RepuD-
JIG. The charges were $6.30. Under
lhe present English parcels post rates,
the carrying charges would have been
81 cents.
WHO GETS THIS BUSINESS,
ENGLAND OR THE UNITED
sTATES7
A European merchant ordered goods
from Minneapolis. The goods cest
$3.50. The carrying charge was s14S5.
HOW CAN EUROPE AFFORD TO
BUY GOODS IN AMERICA?
That is foreign business, you say.
Then take domestic comparisons.
Our present rates for domestic pos.
tal parcels are GOOO PER CENT
MORE THAN GERMANY's are under
her parcels post.
why?
A domestic parcels post would
SAVE the small consumer-THE
PEoPLE-about s25O,OOOOoo every
year
who gets this s25O.000,O00 now?
The four BIG EXPRESS COM.
PANIEs get most OF 1t. That's the
REASON they have fought the idea OF
\ parcels post so bitterly. Then the
government gets some.
More opposition comes from many
many small retailers and from coun
Try store-keopers. They say that a !
parcels post would rob them OF their
business and give II all TO the big !
mail order houses. Doubtless there |
Is some truth in this connection, bur /
The small dealer FoRGETS that under
parcels post system, he, KNOWING
THE WANTS Of his trade, could order
BMAIL LOTS Of goods at VERY LIT.
TIE SHIPPING EXPENSE; he could
ANTICIPATE the demands Of his
trade and SATISFY IT almost as
rheaply as the mail order houses; be
could build up AT NO FINANCIAL
RISK a very profitable COMMISSION
business.
HE WOULD LOSE LITTLE; THE
WOULD GAIN EVERY.
THING.
Millions OF people are not served
low by the express companies A par.
sels post would bring the express
office TO the front gate.
parcels post would make every
rural free delivery route sELFsUP-
PORTING, and would result in thous.
sands of ADDITIONAL free deliveries,
Think of your express bills, and
lhen consider what foreign countries J
have done.
