mained on the platform. and to the large
crowd that surrounded him said that the
teachings .eashi,, of Pastor . Russell were er-
In his sermon. Pastor Russell based
his conception of the next life on Scrip
tural truths, and fiayed the Catholics for
their belief in purgatory, and the Pro-
testants for their diabolical theory of the
hereafter.
The good hearts and the good intsn-
tons of our fOrefatherS were not queS-
toned, but their theoiogies were rOundly
denounced, as being not only dishonor-
ing God, but man as well. His principal
method of attacking other beliefs was
in their belief of the hereafter. He
described the belief of the many religions
as to the final punishment of sin. He
said. in part:
The curse or sentence for sin was
not purgatory, nor eternal torment. but
as the Scriptures declare: The wages
of sin is death'-.The soul that sinneth.
il shall die This sentence has been in
execution upon our race for the past
sixty centuries and approximately twenty
thousand millions of the race have thus
been produced-almost enough to com
fortably fill the earth if all were alive
to-day.
These thousands Of millions are
neither in purgatory nor in the theologi-
cal hell of torment-they are all dead

Messiah shall establish his kingdom with

When the Hart was observed on the
reef flying distrSs signals, the lfeSavinS
crew made ready to board her. Their
gasOlie surfbOat had broken from her
moorings during the gale and vast cast
the smaller craft, manned by oars. but
equipped with a small sail. The Cornell
brothers volunteered to aid in rowing out
to the stranded bark, and the passage
was made in safety. When the eight
men aboard the Hart and their personal
belongings had been taken into the surf
boat it was pretty well crowded. Sail
was then hoiSted Tor the three-mile run

into the craft AMI, although all hands
baied vigorously, they were unable to
keep the craft free from water, and II
became necessary to throw overheard the
clothing and other personal effects of the

Soon after a big wave overturned the
boat and every one went overheard
Fourteen of them were able to grab the
capSized craft while the other four were
foundering about trying TO reach It.
Jackson, who was a short distance away,
saw the plight of the men and steered
his power dory for the surf boat. Owing
to the sea that was running, he was
able to prevent the overturned craft
from being hurled against his boat, and
a large hole was punched in her side.

sailors were brought here.
The Hart was badly battered during

cations to-day that she was on the point

NEW TRAFFIC RULES
FOR CITY STREETS
Continued from Page One.

the police order the drivers of teams
and automobiles to make detours into
other thoroughfares. For instance, the
street in front of the National Theater
often is greatly congested with carriages
as the audience files out. Other tramc
should be detoured during these inter-
walls l believe it would be advisable
also to suspend traffic on certain road
ways near the White House during the
arrival and departure of guests at re-
ceptions given by the President.
1T has been suggested that power has
not been given the District Commission
ers to impose any extraordinary depart
urcs in the matter of street traffic, Mr.
Emo. Is this the case?"
Il have examined the statute govern
ing the District very carefully, SAID Mr.
Emo, and l find in ii what / consider
full authority for imposing any restric-
tions deemed necessary to control the
streets. l have conferred with Maj.
Sylvester and members of the CommlS-
sion, and have found them exceedingly
anxious to devise and adopt better traffic
rules. understand. however. there is
some little doubt as to the extent of
their authority. and that to this end a
bill was recently introduced in Congress.

sired power definitely"
Maj. Sylvester is showing every in
clination to impose proper traffic rules

and I am sure you will hear from him
shortly: in fact I understand tentative
regulations already have been drawn. A
committee of the Cha n:ber Of Commerce
is also at work upon the matter and will

THAT is a deep subject and needs a

In regard to the agitation concerning
So-caled fire stops by street cars Mr..
Fro continued. Il am not sure but what
the majority of these stops should be

tissues of the body turn a dark red upon
the taking of prussic acid. but a bright
red upon inhaling the mOnoNidc gas.
This is one of the few places where the
symptoms differ and one of the striking
monoXide theory.
Presence of Poison.
When asked to explain how hn ac-
counted for the presence of the poison
in the stomachs, DR.. Lewis said that the
analysis did not determine the quantity
but simply the fact that the poison was
present. He said that the oil of almonds.
used in the making of cake. and par
ticulariy fruit cake. which was found
in Miss Elossers stomach, contains hy-
drocyanic acid. or cyanide Of potassium.
The presence of the acid would thus be
shown.
Miss Mac E,losser also tainted on
entering the ROOM continued DIR. Lewis.
This again might easily have been due
TO the presence of the gas. That therc
was no odpr OF the gas apparent is
only natural Carbon mOnuNide, while
one of the most insidious and deadly OF
gases, has almost no appreciahle odor.

lies one OF its most dangerous proper

a double murder or murder and :.UiCid

ACCIDENT HIS THEORY.
DIR. Lewis has had a theory FOR some
time that the deaths of Miss Elosser
ard Mr.. Twigg were accidental. and he
had been in correspondence with Attor-
ney Robb on the subject Tn" result OF
the experiment did not surprise DR..
Lewis. who say that it took longer TO
kill the animals than the man and
woman, because the former have a large
amount of natural vitality and small
lung capacity, besides which they were
two feet lower than the breathing ap
paratus of the two persons.
The gas. collecting from the cf ilnns
