The call for efficient leadership is be-

Personal Observation Best.

AS the servant of the people. and not
merely of his own particular flock, Mr..
Haskins said the clergy should widen the
scope of their work.
He declared that the condemnation of
preachers who deplore the motion pic
ture shows and other cheap amuse-
ments that have presented another
problem to the child have little effect
from the pulpit. those who should
hear the words seldom come to the
churches. What the ministers should
do he said. was to go out and mingle
with the people and come personally in
contact with these problems
He showed there was much that the
preachers could do In the political field
and it was the duty of each to do all IN
his power to clean up local politics and
impress upon his congregation the neces-
sity Of maintaining only honest men in
political positions.
Financial Problems Discussed.
George B. Townsend of Haeerstown
Md. made a careful diagnosis of the
financial problems of the church and said
that the pastor should make plans that
would reach every individual in the
church and give these plans publicity
from both the pulpit and the church
press. He pointed out the various pit
falls by which churches contrive debts
and urged that without money at its
command the church cannot properly
carry out the work 1t is ordained to ae-
complish.
Others who spoke at the morning SEES
sion were c. c. Cowgirl of the Bennine
and Tuxedo Church, who took as his
subject THE Preacher and His Preach
ings," and Peter Ainsle of Baltimore
who discussed the Preacher and His
Pastoral Work"
During the session open discussions
were led by w. S. Hoye of Beaver
Creek, Washington county, Md, and d
c. W. Ward of Baltimore. treasurer OF
the society. when the various church
problems were taken UP by various mem
bers of the congregation. Rev. {. C.

WOMEN ARE RELEASED

After having heard the evidence in
the case against Quiteria Miera, Po-
lice Judge D. r. Murray this morn
ing ordered the woman released. The
woman was charged with maintain
ing a house in the north part OF tie
city that was obnoxious to other peo-
pie residing in the neighborhood.
Judge Murray did not believe the eyi-
dence sufficiently strong to authorize
her conviction. Another woman, sew
eral years younger than the Mie2a
woman, was charged with the same
offense. She is the mother of a
young babe and was unable to appeac
in court. Her name is Silva and she
resides at the home of the Miera
woman. 1t is said that her conduct
was the cause of most of the com
plant in the neighborhood.

DRAMATIC SCENES
At CAMORRA TRIAL
PRISONERS INTERRUPT COURT,
WHILE ONE THREATENS
NEWSPAPER MAN

Viterbo, Italy, March 16.-The rules
of council procedure in this city make
possible frequent dramatic incidents,
and they were not lacking at today's
hearing of the trial of the thirty-six
members of the Camorra for murder.
The clerk resumed the reading of the
long indictment of the prisoners. The
monotony was broken by frequent in
terruptions from the prisoners cage or
the spectators. When the clerk read
the passage referring to the aged
priest, Cicero Vitozzi, the prisoner
raised his eyes, and murmured, Il of
fer my sufferings to relieve the souls
in purgatory." Erricone, the alleged
brains of the Camorra, does not take
kindly to the newspaper critics. One
snapped his picture this morning as
he was being taken to court. When
the bandit chief was told the photo
graph was for paper hostile to the
Camorra, he spat in the face of the
photographer and in his rage swore he
would kick the man Unto the next
world Erricone's shackles prevent
ed the execution of this threat.

RIaneo,s Force spIit

Douglas, Ariz., March 16.-Generai
Blanco's campaign against Aqua Prize
ia seems to have added in a dismal
failure from a rebel standpoint. Fol
lowing the offensive movement of the
Mexican federals last night, in the
direction of the rebel camp, no sign
was to be seen at daylight Of the
rebels. The indications are that Blan-
co.'s force has split into factions, some
of which have deserted to the Ameri-
can side. The main body of his
troops is retreating southwark. Ameri-
cans here believe the rebel cause has
been damaged beyond repair along
the border of Arizona, by Blanco's
bungling.

vegetable vender, escaped without Sc
rious injury. His wagon was demol
ished. Marco was picked up in semi
conscious state and carried into 6
nearby store. He quickly regained
his senses and, aside from a few
bruises, is none the worse for his ex
perience.
The car, in charge of Motorman
George Legg, was running west on
Bridge street. 1t was climbing the
steep grade to the Plaza at about the
same rate of speed that the cars
usually maintain. A lady among the
passengers called to Legg to stop at
the Gonzales street crossing. He
turned toward her when she address
ed him and did not see Marco, who
drove his wagon directly across the
track. Marco evidently did not hear
the car coming as he made no effort
to get out of the way.
When Legg saw the wagon on the
track he set the brakes quickly but
the momentum of the car was SO
great he was unable to stop before
striking Marcos vehicle. The wagon
was turned completely over and Mar
co was thrown upon his head. The
horses, frightened at the noise, ran
away. Before they cauld be stopped
they dashed the wagon against
telephone pole and completed it's de-
struction. The wagon was heavily
loaded with vegetables which were
scattered all over the street.
Marcos escape from serious injury
IS regarded as almost miraculous.
