MEN LACK FAITH
IN END OF WAR
So Declares DR.. HOwertOn in
Eloquent Sermon.

Declaring that universal peace is ap-
pareptly impracticable only because men
believe 1t to be SO, Rev. DIR. J. NJ. How
erton, president Of Washington and Lee
university, Of Virginia. yesterday morn
ing delivered an eloquent sermon to a
large audience in New York Avenue
Presbyterian Church from the text, Thy
Kingdom come"
"The abolition Of war;" said DR..
Howerton. 'is seemingly impossible only
for the reason that men think so. At
first sight Christ's ideal Of heaven here
on earth seems to common sense ut
terly impracticable and visionary, but q
closer examination Of the matter raises
the question whether IT is only imprac-
ticable because men believe It to be So
Faith never creates conditions Of sue
cess in anything, but where the condi-
tions already exist. unbelief may and
does nullify them"
DR.. Howerton occupied the pulpit IN
the absence Of the pastor, Rev. Wallace
Radcliffe. who Is now in Michigan on
his annual vacation.

SHOWS REVOLVER
TO COP; LOCKED UP
Youth Anxious to Spend the
Night in a Cell.

William Smith, eighteen years old. who
says he lives in New York City, ap-
preached Policeman Wlltsatt early yes
terday morning and said he was stranded
and wanted TO get something to eat. He
said he had been working for a farmer
near Manassas, Va. for the last three
months, but that he had failed to re-
ceive his salary and had left the place.
He had tramped from Manassas to this
city, he said.
Wiltsatt told him he knew OF no place
and Smith then asked to be locked up,
The policeman told him that this was
impossible, as he would have to do some
thing to be arrested. Smith pulled a re-
volver from his pocket and asked II
there was law against carrying con-
cealed weapons.
The policeman told him there was. and
he was taken to the station and a COM
plant Of carrying q concealed weapon
lodged against him. He was given meal
and a bed and will be haled to Police
Court this morning. It is probable he
will be sent back to New York City by
the Board OF Charities.

they were schoolboys and riding around

MARYLAND AUTOIST
In POLICE DRAGNEI
Nabbed for Failure to Show
District License.

Joseph Kennedy, vice president Of the
Malleable Iron and Steel Casting Com
pany, Of Baltimore. came to Washington
yesterday in his automobile. He forgot
to attach District license on the rear
of his machine and he was arrested In
Bladensburg road.
Mai. Sylvester yesterday detailed twen-
ty-five policemen on the roads leading to
Baltimore to arrest any autoists who at
tempted to enter this city without q d.
c. license. Kennedy was the only one
caught, however. Last Sunday four mo-
torists from Baltimore were arrested be-
cause they had no District licenses.
The arrests are the outcome OF Mary
lands refusal to allow automobiles from
the District to use State roads withou,

That the Lord in all his teachings
stood firmly intrenched against specia
privileges when they were abused by
those who possessed them, and agains,
the privileged classes who abused theil
exalted station to the detriment Of the
masses. was the statemen made by Rev
c. Rockford Stetson. of Trinity Church
New York, at the peoples open-air serv.
Zee at Mount st. Alban yesterday after.
noon.
The weather was ideal and brought a
large attendance to the place where
Washingtons great cathedral is to raise
its spires in future, and where Bishop
Satterlee lies buried In the Jerusalem
chapel.
The services were held in the shadow
of the peace cross, which was erected In
memory OF the conclusion Of peace be-
tween America and Spain. In the dis
tance was seen the dome Of the Capitol
and the FURNISHED gold Of the Congress
sional Library circular roof. with the
Washington Monument looming up in a
beautiful vista
Rev. DR.. Stetson, who preached the
sermon, is the vicar OF Trinity Church,
which faces Wall street and has among
its communicates some Of the wealthiest
churchgoers Of New York.
Social Message from Lord
Has our Lord q social message for
to-day?" was the question which the
preacher propounded, and in answering
his own question referred to the Sermon
on the Mount, which was not, in his
opinion, a sermon on social questions, as
claimed by certain expounders Of So
cialism, but was a sermon applying to
the individual
He is not looking at the mass of men
as a whole" said the preacher. He
looks at society through the individual,
and each individl al in. the community is
responsible for the uplift of society and
social regeneration.
I'VE want to be something collectively
which We are not individually. We join
organizations which are supposed to be
better than we are individually. and
are in reality. Collectively We belong
to the church. to a divine institution, and
We rely on that agency too much entirely
to carry on the work of the redemption
of mankind. From everywhere comes
the call for men to carry on the work
of social regeneration, and the demand
is much larger than the supply"
There is too much criticism with the
world, according to Rev. DR.. Stetson.
I'VE criticise others too freely, and
with ourselves we are hypocriticaI; We
see faults in others which we do not see
in ourselves. There is a spirit of toler-
ance of wrong and evil. A man now
adays is afraid of being called a good
man. He is afraid people might think
him a prude, a goody-goody."
The song services were led by the
Cathedral open-air choir, accompanied
by section of the Marine Band.

Richmond. Va, July 23.-The Beattie
murder is parallel Of the famous Ciuv.

weeks. On March IA, 1885, the body OF
a woman was found in Marshall reser-
voir, in this city, and TWENTY-FIVE months
later, Thomas Judson Cluverius, an at
torney of King and Queen County, was
executed for the murder Of his cousin,
Fannie Lillian Madison, the victim OF the
reservoir mystery. At first the case ap-
peared to be one Of suicide. In the
Beattie case 1t is made to appear as an
assassination.
Following the finding of q watch key
near the reservoir identified as Cluverius',
a chain Of circumstantial evidence was
woven and the coils gradually wound
around Thomas Judson Cluyerius. who
was an attorney OF ability. Sunday
school teacher. and bore an unquestion-
able character. He was found guilty Of
