EULOGIZE MEMORY
OF REV. DR.. HALE
Tribute Paid Late Chaplain
of the Senate.

President Taft and many representa-
tives of official Washington were num-
bered among the large congregation at
All Souls Unitarian Church, when Rev
DR.. U. G. B. Pierce eulogized DR.. Edward
Everett Hale, the late chaplain OF the
United States Senate, at memorial serv-
ices yesterday morning in honor of his
birthday anniversary, which will be cele-
hrated to-day.
He went about doing good, for God
was with him was the text that Rev.
DR.. Pierce chose, and throughout his
whole sermon he drew this parallel in
his Efe-sketch of the eminent divine.
Rev. DR.. Pierce, who was closely con-
nected with DR.. Hale, who often preach
ed at All Souls Church for five years,
told of many happy reminders of the
aged chapIain's character and life, point
ing out the manly as well as the spiritual
qualities that marked his whole career.

PROPHET" JONES
GETS INTO ACTION
Comes to Warn Washington
: of Its Many Sins.

Prophet Andrew Jones was introduced
to the congregation of the Tenth Street
Baptist Church last night as THE only
authentic prophet
The prophet has been here before. He
has been prophesying with laudable in
dustry since he was thrown in Jail for
prophesying the Johnstown flood in 1889,
which. under the circ umstances. he said
last night was not such cruel fate.
But since then he as been more sue
cessful in keeping out of jails. His most
notable achievements have been advance
notices of .'the night of the big wind
here-the assassination OF President Nc
Kinley, made in 1895. and the Baltimore
fire. But between these he has been
identified in mis- role of prophet with a
number of less famous disasters.
Anyhow, the prophet got into action
last night, and there was some prophesy-
ing. He brought the latest information
with him. Here it is:
God Is going to soak this earth with
blood, and then we'll straifhten up.
He'll send you out onto the field of bat
tie and let out the live blood from your
veins, and the earth will be wet with
your blood"
This cheerful promise was received in
silence, except for an uneasy rustling in
the congregation
But Of the cities Washington is not the
only one to have incurred divine
True, as Prophet Jones
said: You have been spending your time
dancing; you've been swearing; you've
been cursing, and you've been spending
your time in moving picture theaters
CglfIty and accusing glances noticeable
in the congregation, and the Lord Is
insulted-"
But the Capital City has nothing on
some others, as far as that is concerned.
New York, Chicago, ard Boston also
had better look alive. AS a matter of
fact, there is no hope for New York. 1t
is to be wiped from the face OF the earth,
and Prophet Jones would not spend an
other night in that city. No, stree! 1t is
going to be swallowed up by the sea, and
If he should be an eyewitness to the af-
fair Prophet Jones will watch it from
''over on the Jersey side
Mr. Jones has a lot to say about this
prophesying business, and the Nburden of
his song was a warning against the dis
believers. However the congregation
was told a great deal about the inside
curves of propheticism. In the first
place, before obeying orders the careful
prophet will make sure they come from
the proper source. When a real prophet
gets his Inspirations or Instructions, he
must be certain that his satanic majesty
has no hand in the game.
Il am very careful who ] prophesy
before" said Mr.. Jones. II only aSso-
ciate with a certain class of people. and
the Lord points them out to me.
In introducing the prophet Rev. 5.
Geriah Lamkins very appropriately warn
ed his hearers against the folly of dis
belief

CHURCH TWENTY YEARS OLD.
Rev. George A. Miller Praises Con-
gregation for Loyalty.

The twentieth anniversary of the or
ganization of the Ninth Street Christian
Church, Ninth and d streets northeast.
was celebrated yesterday morning. Rev.
George A. Miller. the pastor, expressed
his gratitude for the loyalty and CO.
operation of the congregation, and COM
mended the members for their attend
ance
Rev. Mr.. Miller spoke of the growth
of the church, and contrasted its pres
ent size and influence with that of 1855,
when it started as a Sunday School in
Odd Fellows Hall. From this small be-
ginning the church has grown until it
now has a memberships of 1,061.
He spoke of the noble work of Rev.
E. G. Bagby, who was pastor for fifteen
years. The first officers of the church
were: L. L. Bugby, p. S. Steele, S. A
Hughes, c. B. Titus. ]. A. Scott and w.
S. McCurdy. The last two have been
members of the board twenty years.

D. A. R. OF DISTRICT
CONFER MORROW
Southern Daughters Stirred
by Confederacy Issue.

The District conference of the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution will
meet at the Shoreham Hotel Tomorrow
morning at 1880 o'clock. Mrs. Small
wood. State regent of the District. will
preside over the meeting. which will deal
principally with reports from chapter
regents on the progress and work of
District chapters during the year.
1t is said that the conservative party
will place in nomination the name of
Mrs George NJ. Sternberg, wife of Gen.
Sternberg, to succeed herself as vice
president general from the District. Mrs.
Mary S. Lockwood one of the founders
of the society and a woman universally
beloved and honored by the Daughters.
is the conservatives candidate for State
regent, while Mrs. J. r. Ludlow is their
candidate for State vice regent
1t was inadvertently stated in The
Washington Herald yesterday morning
that the circular ISSUED by the con-
servatives about the much-disputed con-
stitutional amendments was protesting
against their withdrawal by the finance
committee" What the conservative party
is said to intend is that the Daughters
throughout the country shall know what
they call the radical motives of these
amendments, and because they believe
they have been illegally withdrawn" by
the finance committee, and that the
amendments are still pending before the
coming congress they deemed it neceS-
Sary to issue the statement
Southern Daughters are greatly exer-
cised over the situation that has arisen
in Philadelphia through the action Of GER
tain members of the Philadelphia Chap
ter in objectinS to the nomination of
Mrs. Herman Hopes, of West Chester.
for regent of that chapter because she is
a prominent member of the Daughters of
the Confederacy
1t is said that il was Mrs Hopes
position in national politics that led to
the sectional objection to her. Mrs.
Hopes is a Philadelphia conservative,
and when the administration Daughters
heard OF her candidacy they successfully
defeated it by calling I'D sectional feeling
among the chapter members. Mrs. Hopes
is a sister of former Gov. Warfield, of
Maryland, and as many Confederate
women are also Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution much resentment is felt
by them that Mrs. Hopes should be
criticised and defeated because of her
Confederate affiliations. 1t seems that
it is an unwritten law among the Daugh-
ters that the late unpleasantness' be
not mentioned or considered, as their
interests are supposed to be before the
civil war, in Revolutionary days, and the
participation in civil war affairs should
have. they say. no effect one way or the
other on standing in a Revolutionary So
Ciety

SUPREME COURT MEETS.
Not Believed Important Decisions
Will Be Handed Down To-day.

The Supreme Court will meet to-day at
nCol. after recess of two weeks. There
have been many rumors that the de-
cIsiOns in the big antitrust cases might
be handed down, but the general i'm
preston in Washington is that these
cases will not be decided until May
1t is pointed out that the Supreme
Court has several important cases, in
cluding the Gompers contempt case,
ahead of the Standard Oil and tobacco
trust cases, and in view of the great
Importance of the latter. it is the be-
lief of officials that it may be month
longer before the business world will
know what the attitude of the Supreme
Court is toward the Sherman antitrust
