age for the past seven months by the
bandit Raisuli has been officially
turned over to the British charge
daffaires here, in accordance with the
agreement between the British govern

| CHURCH MUSIC A
DISGRACE, HE SAYS
Professor Morgan Brands Many of
the Songs as Ragtlme and
Doegerel and Not
Sacred

NEW YORK, Feb. 7.-"Women's
hats must be abolished in churches"
said Pref Tall Esen Morgan addressing
the Methodist Preachers meeting yes
| terday ot $50 Fifth avenue. The min
listers smiled, laughed and then enthusi-
astically applauded. The speaker is
the leader of the choir in the Baptist
temple, Brooklyn, it's 200 voices being
said to be the largest number of volun
teer singers. in church choir in
America.
mo woman could wear a hat in my
choir" continued the professor. THE
head covering Of women, those gorgeou.,
hats of frills and feathers, obstruct tho
view and absorb the sound, and the
wearers cannot even see the conductor
of the music. The time will come when
| ministers in the churches must take
stand to abolish the custom of women
wearing hats at worship. The ministers
can preach better IL they can look into
the eyes OF their people than they are
able to do when talking through hat"
| The ministers Endorsed him by resolu-
ton.
After paying his respects to the mill
| linery in churches, Prof. Morgan made
plea for better music, and surprised
the clergymen by declaring that too
often in evangelical churches the music,
| supposed TO De sacred, Is OF IIe rag
! time variety, and the words set to the
music doggerel.
1.-THE music has deterior9ted and ret
regarded" he said, land has lost its
inspiring influence in many churches.
Many of the old so-called hymns are a
disgrace to the church and to music.
"You wouldn't approach the mayor OF
this city with a two-step, rag-time
measure of iingles. That's what much
of the church music is composed of.
You wouldn't walk into the presence OF
the governor of this state to the airs OF
the silly and unsacred music frequently
heard in our churches. Surely thu
church should be the last place for any
thing but the best in music"
Prof. Morgan illustrated his remarks
by playing several airs on an organ;
then he played the "Pilgrim Chorus"
from Tannhauser.
Nov gentlemen" he went on. "do
you regard that music as sacred or pro-
fane?"
Many of the clergymen declared that,
despite the air being taken from an
opera. it should be classed as sacred
music.

DEAD in FIRE
Another Tenement House Blaze
in New Y0rk-Several We're
Badly Injured
WOMAN JUMPED, DEAD

New York, April 6.-One woman
lost her life, nearly score of men
and women were injured and as
many more were rescued from death
in the flames to-day during fire
which destroyed the four story tene-
ment house at 470 Pearl street. The
dead woman was Julia Isola, 22
years old, who lived with her ia
ther, brother and two sisters on the
fourth floor of the burned building.
She jumped from a window after
her nightclothing had taken fire
from the flames which swirled
around the window where she and
her father, brother and sisters were
waiting for aid Almost before her
body struck the pavement and was
crushed into a shapeless mass the
firemen had succeeded in raising an
extension ladder to the window and
the o,her members of the family
were rescued. While the rescue of
the Isoles was in progress young
firman who was appointed to the de-
partment only a few weeks ago was
making a valiant and as it proved
successful effort to save his own
family. He is Michael Conway, a
member of the first fire company to
reach the scene. Conway's father,
mother and six brothers and sisters
lived on the top floor of the burn
ing building. When he reached the
house they were standing by open
windows shouting for help, while be-
hind them the flames poured up the
stairways and swirled around the
fire escapes at the rear. Ladders
were quickly run up to the windows
and moment later Conway carried
his mother down to the street. In
several more trips the young fire
man brought his sisters to safety and
then the father and brothers fol-
lowed. The fire started in the lower
hallway of the building and swept
upward with a rush that instantly
cut off exit by the stairways.
From the halls the flames spread
quickly to the rear of the house
where the fire escapes are located
and many of the occupants of the
house were forced to jump from
second and third story windows be-
fore ladders could be erected to
save them Nearly 20 persons were
injured in this way but none of them
with the exception OF Miss Isols
was fatally hurt. The building was
ruined, resulting in a loss of $751;
900.
