Second Baptist Congrega-

Former Pastor.

With the assertion that the members
Of the Second Baptist Church are as
anxious to get his head as Salome was
to get the head of John the Baptist,
the Rev. z. HeZ Sven, pastor of the
Capital Baptist Church, has highly en-
ragged the membership of the first
named organization. For twenty five
years the Rev. Mr.. Sven was pastor
of the Second Baptist Church, bun
since his retirement from the pas
torate he has organized the Capital
Baptist Church, and its membership is
made up largely of his admirers in the
old church.
They are after my head" said the
Rev. Mr.. Sven this morning. when his
sermon Of last night, in which he said :
Some Washington Baptists seem to be
hunting the head Of a Baptist in the
Capital City"
Pledges Defiance.
He prefaced his statement in the SER
mon of last night by saying: John the
Baptist was a baptist and baptsed
Jesus, his cousin, but he never saw
Baptist church nor a Baptist associa-
ton. OF course, they took of his head,
just as the Russians want to do to the
Russian Baptists"
The Rev. Mr.. SVEN asserts that the
only manner in which his opponents
can stop his work is by getting his
head" He substantiates his statement
by citations that the Baptist church,
unlike other churches, is subject to
control Of a governing board or au-
Answers were given by Mr.. Sven to
the statements that he was forced to
resign because of his repeated an
nouncement of sermons with sensational
titles. He denied the truth Of this, and
challenged any one to prove the asser-
ton that he has solicited membership
from his old church in any way.

Accusing the members of the Second
Baptist Church of working for contri-
buttons by the your money or your

says those who were frowned upon in
the Second Baptist Church as dead
wood" now are supporting the Capital
Baptist Church. Speaking OF the spirit
that prevailed among the members Of
his former church b the gastSr saf in

SW|NDLERS GATHER
BIG HARVEST WITH
BAD MONEY ORDERS
Atlantic City Merchants
Lose More Than One
Thousand Dollars.

ATLANTIC CITY, July although
bogus postofffce money orders, a score
Of which were cashed today by cred
ulous storekeepers and hotel men along
the Boardwalk. an unusually clever
swindler, who introduced himself as
George 3 Baker. Of Oak Park. a suburb
of Chicago, became the possessor of
about $1,000 of what his craft call "easy
money"
There were eighteen merchants
"stung," so far as the police and postal
inspectors who arrived here from Phila-
delphla have been able to learn, but II
il feared that there are many others.
In almost every instance this offer
was accepted. One of the storekeep-
ers, Mrs. Leroy. became suspicious
and took the money order to a postal
substation before she would consent to
the transaction. There she was told
that the order was genuine as the
stamp had all the appearances Of being
accurate and the form perfect. She
then cashed the order.

REUNION OF FATHER
AND DAUGHTER BY
NECKLACE DOUBTED
Mrs. Blair or Hugh Mont
gomery Did Not Register
at Shoreham.

VERY fshy," is the comment today
of officials Of the Shoreham Hotel in
regard to Chicago dispatches telling
of the remarkable reunion at that
hosiery two weeks ago, through rec
ognition of an antique and curious
gold necklace, of Mrs. George Blair,
of Chicago, and her aged father,
Hugh Montgomery, of Paisley, Scot
land, after twenty-four years sepa-
ration.
Montgomery is said to have accosted
Mrs. Blair while dining at the Shore
ham, identifying by the golden trink-
ct his long-lost child, whom he aban-
doned q generation ago at Rutland,
VT.
mo Mrs. Blair. of Chicago, or Mont
gomery, of Scotland. has stopped here,
at least, not for months" said an Of
fetal of the Shoreham today.
THE story looks very f1shy. as our
books would certainly show them as
guests II they had been here. and we
also probably would have heard of
such an occurrence" continued the
hotel official.
Advices from Chicago state Mrs.
Blair and her mother were deserted
by Montgomery in 1887, and that later
the child was left on a doorstep of a
Rutland home by Mrs. Montgomery,
who went to China as a missionary.
1t is stated that H. H. McCabe. of Rut-
land, adopted the waif, around whose
neck was the golden necklace, with a
note from its mother stating the
childs identity.
Mrs. Blair was wearing the necklace
when accosted by Montgomery, 1t is
alleged, recognition and the reunion
resulting.
1t is reported at Chicago that Mr..
and Mrs. Blair and her newly found
father sail from New York this week
for China in search of Mrs. Mont
gomery.

SEEK A NAVAL STATION.
Uncle Sam or Japan Want Lease on
GALAPAGOS Islands.

Washington, Jan. 23.-That negoti
ations are under way for the acquisi.
tion by the United States of the Gala
pages Islands, off the coast OF Ecua-
dor, was admitted tonight at the state
department. 1t is proposed that the
islands be leased for an indefinite
term by the United States for use as
naval station and base of operations
in the Pacific with especial reference
to the Panama canal.
Ecuador, on the other hand, wishes
to use the Is million dollars proposed
as the price of the lease for the sani-
tation of the city of Guayaquil The
subject was introduced al the instance
of the Ecuadorean government, which
it is generally known is practically
bankrupt.
The principal argument advanced
by those favoring the acquisition of
the islands is that Japan may get con-
troll of them if not forestalled by this
government. There is considerable
question, however as to whether ia
pan can acquire the Galapagos Islands
without running afoul of the Monroe
Doctrine. They are a group OF a dozen
or more islands off Ecuador about
eight hundred miles southwest of the
Pacific mouth of the Panama canal.
They occupy somewhat the same rel
ative strategic position on the Pacific
side as does the naval base of Guam
tanamo on the Atlantic. There is an
excellent harbor on the coast of Alber-
marie. The islands are at present
sparsely populated.

.REFORMATORY IS
NOT BIG ENOUGH
WARDEN OF THE GRANITE
SCHOOL TELLS GOV. CRUcE
CHANGES ARE NEEDED.

With 220 inmates in the state re-
formatory, located at Granite, and 600
inmates in the state penitentiary eli
gible to enter the institution, but who
cannot be admitted until facilities for
caring for them are provided, Clyde
A. Reed, warden of the Granite re-
formatory, consulted Governor Cruce
Monday with the view of interesting
the chief executive in the needs OF
the reform prison.
Warden Reed submitted letter OF
some length for Governor Cruces per-
sual and consideration, in which he
goes into the minute details of the
needs of the prison over which he is
presiding. He favors the legislature
appropriating at least $4,000 for the
erection OF suitable buildings and
their equipment at Granite. In sup
port of his recommendation, Warden
Reed gives a list of states that main
tain reform prisons for law breakers
between the ages of 16 and 25 years.
Out of probably a dozen states men,
toned not one of the number has ex-
pended less than $750,00O for the
erection and equipment of such insti-
tutions, while Massachusetts spent
spent $2,0O000O; New Jersey, $780,.
0oO New York, s2,000,000, and Hi
nos, 81 100000.
In concluding his letter to Governor
Cruce, Warden Reed says: THE Gran
name only" He lays particular stress
on the statement that Granite is an
ideal location for state reformatory,
due to its elevation, water supply and
natural drainage.
Bills have been introduced in both
branches of the present legislature
calling for an appropriation of $780,
900 with which to build and equip 4
state reformatory at Granite, but
there seems to be disposition on the
part of some of the solons to reduce
the amount of the appropriation nam
ed in these bills. Warden Reed is
very anxious to have the legislature
appropriate 100000 and is taking all
legitimate steps towards influencing
the legislators to pass the bill as in
troduced.
The object of the state reformatory
is to provide a place of restraint for
near criminals, where they can be in
structed in a manner calculated to
make them useful, law-abiding citi-
zcns when the terms of their sent
ences have expired. 1t is a sort of
school for males under % and over
16 years old who have been caught
ia the tolls of the laws for the first
time. The movement originated with
some of the older states several years
ago, and statistics from those states
where these reform prisons have been
maintained for a sufficient length of
time show that the plan is meritori-
