DEDICATION OF NEW Works. NEW
CATHEDRAL.

In the presence Of the most lis
tinguished body Of layman and
cleryymen ever assembled at a relig-
Gus gathering in New York city, the
handsome new Protestant Episcopal
Cathedral Of st. John tie Divine, the
first and only one Of its kind on this
continent, was formally dedicated
with impressive ceremonies yester-
day.
Mrs. Taft, wife of the President
went from y asbingtor to be pre-
sent and in the vast auditorium were
distinguished visitors from practically
every state in the Union. In add
ton there were upwards Of thirty
bishops and between Tour and five
hunired ministers representing all of
the Christian denominations;
The Right Rev. David X. Greer,
Bishop Of New York, presid d, as
sisted BY the Right Rev. DIR. Bach,
suffrsgan bishop of the diocese.
Hours before the doors opene to
admit those having invitations an
immense multitude began TO pather

the three distant choir rooms and the
crypt used by the clergy for the
occasion, the signal that announced
the opening Of the Sc, vice. As the
meloiious note issued from the big
muItipbone h lrns in the rooms, the
four columns moved fJraard stimuli

singing the professional psalm as
they advanced toward the transen'.
First in line were the choristers in

the local members Of the same body
and the lay members of the various
Episcopal organizations in and
about the city. After them came
the visiting bishops, with Bishops
Greer and Burch in the rear. A

big edihce, it presented MAJ kably
impressive appearance.

Representative J. Hampton Moore,
Of Pennsylvania, belongs to the
rather erclusiv. order of the sDoers
Of things" rather than to the more
numerous society, the aDreamers of
Things". In short, Moore,-J. Hamp-
ton-is alive, sizzlirg wire in the halls
of Congress, and as consequence, is
rarely lost from the public gaze,
albeit in many phase ireditable to
him.
The other day Mr.. Moore intro
duced a hill and joint resolution

international agreement to put a sop

and other firearms.

Moore said ave are the greatest

We are not the only Offenders,
bee. as the great nations are con

ic, when they find they have con-

occasions have sought to learn why
we sell old arms, and tile only
answer has been that we get some
money out Of thsai that if We did
not sell 'h,m, we'd heglect TO dc
what other nations did. What does
it profit a nation if it obtains few
thousand de lars from the sale OF
discarded guns, and thsn has TO send
battle-ships and armies to keep
| peace along the border. That seems
TO be our position along the Mexican
bor-ler today. We have been selling
our old guns to merchants and junk
dealers, and they have been selling
them to agents for the insurrectlon-
lists, with the result that we are now
spending what may approach millions
of dollars to keep the peace. We
ought to stop the practice of selling
cd guns, whether other nations do
it or not, and then we should try to
gel the other nations to do the same
thing. We could make no greater
contribution to the cause of public
peace. But, breaking mp these old
arms, We woul also prevent a great

an arch, and made it certain that Clark
had the national hcncr safely tucked
away. He was given a big hand at
the close of the game. Bosworth
cleaned up his remaining games on
Saturday by winning them all, and so
did Cox, they finishing second and
third, respectively. In this connection
it is interesting to note that the new
champion was not beaten. Bosworth,
who finished second. was beaten only by
Clark, and Cox, who finished third,
was beaten only by Clark and Bos

often that a champion will lose to one
of the easy players of the division,

the proper opportunity, or fluke, to
help him. will get one of the import
ant games of the week, but this was
not so this year. Ordinarily the cham
pion can be figured on losing one to
two games, but this year Cox, who lost
two games, didn't even get into sec
ond place.
Second Time Champion.
Clark was champion in 1908 and

second place regularly each year with

In the second division there is tie
for first place between Whitaker and

Washington player played his pest
game of the tournament with the
Springfield player. and beat him badly.
1t was necessary for Burns to win all
his games to get into tie with Whit
aker. This he was able to do, playing
until nearly midnight Saturday to ac-
comp1ish this. He defeated Webb and
then played his final game with Will
