Special by United Press Wire.
Washington, May 17:-Frederick
M. Kerby, former stenographer in
Secretary Ballingers Office, who
made the affidavit revealing the
character of the Lawler memoran-
dunn, took the stand today before the
congressional Investigating Commit
tee. He said he had agreed to testi-
fy before the committee if it was nee
essary and would not make the facts
in his possession known until called
by the committee. Later Il was
found that Attorney Brandeis was
not in position to call him, and he
gave his story to Robert F. Wilson,

that Brandeis advised him to make
the facts public and denied he had
any selsh motive in giving out the

verbally superficial evangelist, but
they reveal the activity of a man
who thinks, and who is able so to ex-
press his thoughts that his hearers
know and understand exactly what
he means. His simplicity is that of
culture and not of yacuity.
He reads the Greek Testament as
readily as English He has been
trained in the leading universities of
this country and of Germany. With
his thoroughly disciplined mind ana
his wide acquaintance with litera-
ture he is enabled to speak with au-
thority on the subjects he discusses.
He tells story well, but it is never
told for it's own sake; it is the means
OF illuminating the truth he pre-
sents. His preaching, therefore, is
logical, interesting and convincing.
DR.. Biederwolf Is a man; and his
ideals of manhood are high. There
Is a striking humanity in the man
and his message. He takes the best
possible care of his body and his
physical nature is well developeds
He Is golf player of no mean abiI-
ity, and he enters with spirit into
everything that concerns his fellow
men.
He recognizes above all things the
supreme Importance of the Christian
life, and that a mans christianity Ii
worthy to be carried into all Active
ties of his life; it is a real, living
power and glorifies everything It
touches.
These qualities with his keen
sense of the eternal fitness Of things,
which we know as common sense,
make him one of the STRONGEST and
most thoroughly equipped evangelist
in the country.
Singers Statement.
Mr.. Rhodeheayer, who has gripped
the people with his messages in song
has this to say of the movement to
the present time:
This is my fifth year with DR..
Biederwolf, and j am particularly
delighted with the splendid cooper
alton of the best singers and musi-
clans of the city in the music. They
deserve great credit for the success
of the work. l have never been in
city where so many of the very
best musicians of the city We're so
willing to give their services so
faithfully to the work and where the
chorus as a whole was of a higher
standard of excellence.
IF the Christian people continue
their faithful work / see no reason
that the Perth Amboy meeting
should not be as great proportionate@
ly as any work of its kind of which
we have ever known"

BIG BROTHER MOvEMENT.

One interesting line of develop
ment and one which promises to aid
In restoring the balance of men in
the church is the Big Brother move
meIit, which has the object of help
ing the boy In the formation of char
acter, by winning his friendship and
comradeship and guiding him
through the perilous days of adoles-
cence. Such service is of incalcul-
able value to the boys, to- the
churches, and to the nation. 1t does
not matter much where the man
finds his boy; If he finds him in his
own house it will be a good thing
for the boy and the man-for, as
Mrs. Stowe said, There are times
when the open expression of faith
er's love would be worth more to
boy than church or sermon" But
men who have no boys OF their own
can find other with whom they can
establish such relations. A boy gets
30 many hard knocks and SO much
neglect that 1t is not hard for a man
with wit and good will to win his
loyal friendship. A little interest
in him quickly awakens his self-re-
spect, while the loan of good book
may stimulate his ambition and
change the while current of his life.
1t is we'll to respect the unknown
possibilities of the young, and to
treat them as though each might rise
to some surprising height.-From
an Editorial in the May Century.

London, May 17.-Miss Ethel
Roosevelt. daughter of Colonel
Roosevelt, was the innocent cause
today Of considerable embarrass-
ment when she and an English girl
friend rode, shrieking with laughter,
in the vicinity Of the procession ac-
companying King Edwards body to
Westminster Hail. The riding habit
which Ethel wore and which was sew
eral sizes too large for her, was the
cause of the merriment. They were
unmindful of the solemn procession
that they were approaching until
they had almost ridden up to the line
of march. Hundreds of people heard
the peals of merriment and turned
in surprise. Ethel and her friend
quickly realized their mistake, and
rode hastily away.

Onr MOVE FOR Mnsic.

1t is true thet this is not a demon
strative nation, nor demOnsrative
generation, says a. e. Thomas in
Success Magazine. Yet there are may
man and women still living whose
memories run back to the days when
Jenny Lind, the Swedish Nightin-
gale" was the idol of the hour; who
can remember the furore that her
singing aroused. Perhaps there are
still living some of the men whose
hands took the horse from her car
riage and dragged her in triumph
from old Castle Garden to the hotel
where she lived. At all events, they
can remember that was done, and
perhaps they saw it, even If they did
not help to do It,
We do not take the horses from
the carriages of prima donnas any
more. The prima donnas now ride
in costly motor-cars, and gasoline
can not be removed with the same
facility as horses. Even If the sing
ers still used horses, 1t is doubtful If
we should interfere. But, though
our ways of showing it are less in
genuous, we are still as ardently the
slaves of the great magician as ever
We were. We still greet with keen
est interest the cabled announce
ments of the discovery of some new
wonder-worker In the field OF song
or instrumental music
No, neither the magicians nor our
love of their magic is dead. We may
be no longer moved either to behave
like children In our wonder at the
wizardry, nor to credit old wives
tales regarding its origin. But we
still love above all things to fit be-
meath the old, yet ever new spell of
the personal mastery of the great
musicians and, though we are less
demonstrative and more sophisticat-
ed than our forebears, we are by no
means stodgy or stocial when the
enchantment has done its work.

HAZARDS OF SHERIFF
t. p. A. Decides to Keep the Sheriff's
Accident Policy in Force

Another echo of the recent double
hanging of two negroes in the county
jail occurred yesterday when Sheriff
Higdon received advices from the ma
xional board of the ct. P. AS" to
the effect that his position was not so
hazardous as they had decided 1t was
after the double execution.
Sheriff Higdon has been prominently
identified with this organization for
years and many times was honored
by election to office in it. Upon his
election as sheriff the question arose
as to whether his present avocation was
a more dangerous one than In his pre-
yious pursuits, and 1t was decided that
it was not, and his membership was
retained in 1t. Membership in the as
ISOLATION carries accident insurance
with it.
At the time of the hanging Deputy
Sheriff Percy Higdon cut the rope
which held the lever of the trap in
check and which his father, She riff
Higdon, was holding prior to throw
ing it and opening the trap. When
Deputy Higdon cut the rope the knife
slipped and cut the sherif's fingers,
the foreflnger of each hand being bad
" cash ed and laid open.
After this the national board of the
"T. P. AS" decided that the sheriff's
life was a more strenuous and haz-
ardous one than the simple life of a
wholesale man or drummer switching
about on trains, and SO notified Sherifr
Higdon. This brought about a protest
from Post B and the matter was re-
considered with the result that the for
mer action was rescinded in view of
the fact that Colonel Higdon has but
six months more to serve as sheriff.

ACTIVE CAMPAIGN Is
MADE ON VIOLATORS

violators of the prohibition law have
fallen itno the clutches of the law In
large numbers during the last two days.
Especially active have been the sheriff
forces. the holiness and boastings of the
alleged violators having resulted In re-
doubled efforts of this department to
catch them. The different arrests were
made upon warrants, the evidence on
which is said to have been secured a
while before the warrants were served.
Practically all of the arrests made In
the last two days were effected by
Deputy Sheriff Beverly Chew. The men
arrested were placed in the county jail
and most of them had been released on
bond by midnight.

The civic improvements committee,
through Chairman Hill Ferguson, report
ed that a map had been compiled showing
all the ownerships of land between Biz
mingham and Bessemer, and that the
plans for the East Lake to Bessemer
boulevard are progressing rapidly. He
hoped that next month the committee
could get after the right of way, and
stated that the Engineers association
had appointed a committee to assist with
advice. He said that he had heard the
opinion expressed that a boulevard to
Ensley Is more important and he urged
that this should be talSne up, though he
quoted Engineer Kesler, the expert from
Kansas City, to the effect that Birming-
ham can accomplish nothing until she has
park and highway commission with
authority and money. He said that later
his committee will make recommendations

their attention has been called to 1t by

more careful in the future. We feel that
the fee system Is often a temptation to
officers to act coTruptly IN office. COM
plants and charges have been filed with
us against some of the justices of the
peace of the county, and we have pa

complaints, believing that public officers
should not Cypress the people through

sufficient of the misdoings of one Of
such justices to warrant his impeach-
