Christmas Mail Heavy.
The Christmas mail at the Harrison
p~ostoffice was SO heavy today that
Postmaster Harry Dufford was
compelled to place all of the postal
cards received aside. The mail is the
heaviest ever handled at the Office.
Carriers who should have left the
office at 1880 did not get out until IL
O'Clock, and then they had to use
small express wagons to carry the
large amount OF mail that had to be
delivered upon their respective roites.

JOHN DIS PASTORS
IN AN ARGUMENT
Question of Baptism Cause
of Rev. DR.. BuStard'S
Philippe.

CLEVELAND. Ohio, June 25.-Cleve-
land Baptists are discussing the way in
which the Rev. Dr. w. W. Bastard, new
pastor of the Euclid Avenue Baptist
Church. where John d. Rockefeller wor-
ships. has denounced the Rev. Dr.
Charles +. Aked, pastor OF the Fifth
Avenue Baptist Church. New York.
where John D. Rockefeller Worships
also.
IF John D. Rockefeller has two pas
tors. said DR.. Bustard. they are about
as far apart as possible in their ideas of
what John D. Rockefeller's church. the
Baptist Church, stands for
Il consider the pastor who calls him
self a Baptist minister, yet breaches
doctrines contrary TO the Baptist church,
himself and to the church, should seek
the pulpit that entertains his own views.
DIR. Aked. the other pastor, appears
to consider il honest to preach hetero-
doXy from a supposedly orthodox pulpit.
For instance. he is receiving into his
New York church members of other
denominations not requiring immersion.
and he is telling them that the sprlnk-
ling or the pouring done in the other
churches by way of baptism is with him
and his church sufficient.
The Baptist Church, I say to DR..
Alxed. does not Offer communion TO nom
believers The Baptist Church believes
in immersion as the only form of hap
tism recognized or intended by Christ.
Yet Or. Aked welcomes to membership
without immersion. the man or the
woman who in any shape or form has
been baptized.
IF DR. Aked's views were expressed
from the pulpit Of a church that sane
toned them, there would be no argu-
ment between Dr. Al1ed and myself, but
so long as he expresses these views from
the pulpit of a Baptist church there is
a fundamental difference between Us
| this Notwithstanding the fact that Dr..
Aked is the other pastor Of John D.
Rockefeller"

EXPOSER Of FRAUDS
SEEKS PLACE IN Vain
Man Who Proved Sugar
Scales False Vainly Asks
Reinstatement.

NEW YORK, June 25.-Robert w.
Gascoigne. the young Government Of
fetal who first disclosed the frauds of
the Sugar trust i've years ago. and VINO
was discharged from the service shortly
after. is knocking at the door Of Uncle
sam for reinstatement as customs
weigher.
It was Gascoigne who, when he be
came Convinced that the Government
was being robbed by the employees Of
the firm whose sugar he was Weighing
jumped into the scales himself 70 prove
the fraud. His weight was given as
eighty-seven pounds while it was actu-
ally 40.
While the Government Is today doing
everything in its power to convict the
officials and employees of the Sugar
trust for criminal conspiracy, the fate
Of young Gsscoigne has apparently been
ignored. He has recently been turned
away by the very officials who We're
responsible FOR his dismissal after his
disclosures were made. and to whom he
has gone for reinstatement. His final
hope is now IN Collector Loeb. TO whom
he has appealed
The Government has been robbed OF
millions Of dollars since CSaScoiCne
showed that the trusts employees were
tampering with the scales 10 reduce the
weight of dutiable sugar 1t has spent
hundreds Of thousands Of dollars to
compel q partial restitution Of what has
been stolen since that time Yet in spite
OF the terrible price paid by the Gov
eminent for failure TO act on his infor-
nation and check the frauds, Gascoigne
has since been treated as unworthy and
an outcast-
The fate of the jealous young Of
fetal was a caution 10 other wefghers
who knew of the sugar frauds They
became reconciled TO the practice of
robbing Uncle sam and closed their
mouths and their eyes when the trusts
employees 'fiXedn the scales.
