The usual Sunday serenity Of Talla-
hasSes was disturbed Sunday Afternoon
By q personal encounter In the lobby Of
the Leon Hotel between Messrs. James
3. Alexander and Macon Thornton, the
two VOluSlS county representatives In
the lower house.
Mr.. Alexander was standing In the
lobby Of the hotel talking 70 q friend
when Ne. Thornton entered and In q
most aerid manner demanded Of Mr.
Alexander II be had made g statement
that be (AlexAnder) had written the
platform upon which be (Th0rntonl ran.

statement that you wrote the platform

Those Ia the lobby OF the hotel who
beard the remark thought that the gen
tleman from Volusia was addressing his
colleague jokingly.
81 think it Was written Ia my Of
hee," returned Mr.. Alexander.
you are q d. liar.
Instantly the two came 20 blows, but
were quickly separated by friends.
The two members Of the house from
Volusia have stood together on praeti-
eally every issue since the opening Of
the session.
Mr.. Alexander declares that the two
have arrived ct the parting Of the ways,
differences having arisen over q local
measure. Mr.. Alexander said he faVOrs

A. the PIothodist Church Sunday.

Rev. L. w. Moore, Presidin glider Of
the Tallahassee district, conducted the
morning services at Trinity Methodist
church. The first part Of the service
was made more enjoyable and inspiring
By q we'll rendered vocal colo by Miss
BLY, Pickett and the sweet strains Of .
violin solo by Mrs. HecquembOurR, Of
the State College for Women. These
exercises Of song, prayer and instru-
mental music, mellOWing the heart and
making receptive the mind, seemed es-
peeially fitting as preparatory 10 the
eloquent and heart touching sermon on
"The Ministry Of Sorrow.
With pathOs and Wit, eloquent flights
and pithy statements, the preacher i'm
pressed his GOd-given message on the
minds Of the attentive congregation
he showed how sorrow for sin lea 70
salvation through faith IN Christ; how
sorrow broke down the distinctions OF
society, politics and denOminational pre-
JUDGE, uniting hearts IN the bonds Of
sympathy and making us realize the
brotherhood Of man; how sorrow en-.
HANGED the value Of the heavenly hope
and makes us look forward more eager
81 for that prize which is ''inc0rrupti-
bic, undshlcdssnd fa1eth not away"
A large congregation greeted the
the speaker, representing much culture
and intelligence. College girls and Col
lege teachers, leading citizens Of our
city and their estimable wives, promi-
nent members Of both houses Of the
legislature, and State officers, including
the governor, were present and seemed
70 listen with pleasure 20 Mr.. Moore.
In the afternoon 1t $3.50 O'clock
large audience again assembled at the
Boulevard Methodist church (tent) 70
listen 70 thu helpful words Of Mr..
Moore. He brought out as his principal
thought that man is the prime conserV-
itor and tTansmItter Of the power Of
God.
At Trinity church, Sunday evening,
Rev. Crawford jackson addressed an
audience, which was union Ia its nature,
on his favorite theme, juvenile protee-
ton. A Tallahassee Juvenile AssOeia-
ton was formed at the close Of the i'd
dress, and Mr.. r. ]. Evans was elected

New U. 5. Bonds
 For Emergency

Special from United Press)
 Washington. Nov. 11.-Secretary Mac veagh has decided upon the design and character Of the three per cent. emergency certificate convertfbles which are limited to one year. They are not to be issued in the immediate future but when the necessity arises they will be in the form of United States bonds in denominations of N,- 000 each
 When first proposed after. the panic of 1907 they were designed to be fs- sued in denominations as low as $2o and $50 to attract the investment of those who keep their money outside the banks. Secretary Macveagh to- day pointed out that in such form they would be rather likely to increase a stringency than diminish as people would withdraw money from the banks and put it into certificates which would be as good as government bonds. It was therefore decided to make them purely a matter of conven- fence for the banks upon which they could secure additional circulation for temporary use. An important reason for this was that 1t was deemed bad policy to offer to the public as an in- vestment a. government security which had only one year to run thus necessi- tatfng withdrawal and reinvestment at the end of the period

 Of China Hear Rugh

Mir. Arthur Rugh. who Is scheduled to speak at a meeting for men at the Young Mems Christian Association Sunday afternoon at 3:30. is one of a remarkable aggregation of eighty-four men maintained in foreign lands by the North American Young Mems Christian Associations. His own ex- perience in China has been one of thrilling interest. He first went across the Pacific seven years ago and began work building up an association in Shanghai. Today through the efforts of Mir Rugh. and his co-workers. that association is one of the most import ant associations in the world, taking rank with the largest of similar insti- tutions in the United States.
 The story of what he accomplished reads almost like the impossible. It is easy to understand 1t, however, when one sees the man himself. He was a graduate of a western college, a lead CT in football. athletics and social life of the college. and by his personality had won a reputation throughout the middle west before he went to China His address on Sunday afternoon promises to be one of the most inter esting and impressive of the whole se- ries of Sunday afternoon talks. which will extend through the winter. and of which MT.

The zeal of the somewhat over 300 collectors who worked hard in New Haven yesterday in behalf of St. Fran cis' Orphan Asylum resulted, as the figures last night indicated. in a sur passing of the amount secured through the collection last year.
