MUNICIPAL LEAGUE
 SESSION CLOSES

Richmond. Va. November 16.-With the conclusion of discussions on fran chises, education and police and liquor problems the seventeenth annual meet ing of the National Municipal league and nineteenth conference for city good government came to a close today. Los Angeles invited the convention to meet there next year, but the meeting place was left to the executive council to name
 Plans for an extensive study of local option and all other questions allied with the liquor problem were recom- mended in the report of the committee on liquor, presented by Camillus c. Kidder of Orange, N. I. A determination of the safest hands in which to lodge the issuance of licenses was deemed to be of prime inn portance.
 Under a strong and good licensing authority, almost any statute is work able" according to report tendered
 The federal government through the operation of some of its statutes was pictured as the friend of the blind tiger
 
 hibition by William H. Thomas of Montgomery, Ala, in an address on "The Prohibition Movement in the South"
 'The practical effect of United States revenue statutes, interstate commerce laws and the use of the mails" he declared lis to make the government the friend and coadjutor of the blind tiger, the brewer. and the distiller in defeating the will of the people by granting federal licenses to whomso- ever will pay to go into any'prohibition state and violate the law. If the gov ernment refused such licenses in pro- hibition territory large per cent of Illicit liquor selling could be substan- tially abolished"

FIRE FEARED IN
 PATENT OFFICE

Washington November 16.-Fears of fire in the United States patent office and a consequent tremendous blow to the commercial interests of the coun- try are expressed in the annual re- port of United States Commissioner of Patents Moore to Secretary of the In- terior Fisher
 The present home of the patent Of flee. MT. Moore declares, Is not fire proof. and is piled high with tons of inflammable material, composing ar chives which if destroyed could never be replaced and the loss of which would otherwise work untold damage to the commercial interests of the country.
 Much of this material is stored he explains, "in wooden cases and open wooden schelves.
 He recommends that q new building be erected for the bureau. Tn addition to being dangerous he says the present quarters are entirely obsolete and fn- adequate sas to both space and equip ment.
 His report shows that during the past fiscal year there were issued 34, 7 42S patents, including reissues and de- signs, and that 3791 trade marks, 576 labels and 1S1 prints were registered.
 It was not the heaviest year in the history of the patent office in this respect, although in the number of applications received, more than 74,000. exceeded all previous years.

A MINISTER WOULD
 A-WOOING GO

Atlanta, November 16.-The Rev. W. A. Terrell, the Gaffney, s. C., minister. was positively identified today through a photograph, as the preacher who tried to woo an Atlanta girl through the want ad columns, and who was tried before Judge Broyles of the local city court, on complaint of the girl in the case. The identification was made by Judge Broyles and policemen and reporters who had seen the matrimonially inclined par son at the time of his arraignment
 Another feature to the tangle has been added by the receipt of a letter from Gaffney, stating that the Rev. w. A.. Terrell already is married.
 Shortly after tho publication of the court proceedings in the minister's case an indignant man, giving the name of the Rev. w. A. Terrell, called on Judge Broyles and vehemently excoriated the alleged impoO CT who had made the mat rimonial attitudes under his name. This man was given a letter by Judge Broyles declaring that he was not the man who had been arraigned for want ad wooing. The matter rested at this stage until the arrival of the photograph. which was identified today. The Rev. w. A. Fer rell, when on trial, stated under oath that he was not married.

FRISCO HAS FIGHT
 WITH GOULDSYSTEM

New York, November 1G-An official statement outlining the reported differ- ences between the St. Louis and san Francisco railroad and certain Of the roads in the Gould system was issued to- day by representatives of the first named company. The St. Louis and San Fran cisco, the statement says, deemed 1t nec- essary to construct a line to connect two separate parts of it's system between Memphis and New Orleans. When this project became known the matter was taken up with President Yoakum by banking interests representing the Goulds, which led to the suggestion that joint use be made by, the Frisco and Gould lines of the Iron Mountain and Texas Pacific, between Memphis and Baton Rouge, La.
 According to further details in the statement contracts to this end were ex- ecuted and are now in possession of the Missouri Pacific. It is further declared that the Texas and Pacific has thus far to make improvement called for in it's contract with the Frisco line, but that much has been expended in improvement and new construction on the Missouri Pacific.
 Bankers interested in the development of the Gould property and the Frisco system say the troubles are due to misuse or both sides and they look for amica- hle adjustment of the situation.

DIR. BLACK BREACHES
 TO LARGE CROWDS

Dr. William Black preached a strong sermon from the text. Prepare to Meet Thy God" last evening at the Vine Street Presbyterian church to a large attend ance.
 In his discourse Dr. Black said: "The word prepare is one of the strongest possible words that can be used. God tells us that we must be prepared before the event takes place. Why should we prepare? Because 1t is a divine com mand; because the meeting with God is sure; because there is so much at stake: ana lastly, because we need the prepar- ation. How do we know we need the preparation? Because we would never lave been given the text if we hadn't needed it. We need to be prepared be- oause We are guilty when tried by our consciences; guilty when tried by our love for God; guilty when tried by Gods law. The first step in preparing to meet God IS to realize that we need to prepare
 We can see our need by taking the com nandments and looking at them God's $ commandments cannot save us but by them we can see what we lack. We need preparation. The first step Is to feel we are guilty; the second to be sure that we have done wrong: the third, confess our sins; fourth, forsake them forever: turn our backs on them forever that $ what is called repentance, and the fifth and last step is to turn to God and
 sls Him for Christs sake to have mercy on us'
 Much feeling is being shown in the meeting and the entire community is lroused. Some of the largest congrega- tions ever seen at the church are in at- tendance, not only Presbyterians, but those of all the other denominations. Dr. Black breaches every evening at 80 and morning at 10:3O o'clock at the Vine Street Presbyterian church, West End.

London, November 16.-The hearing ol the cross actions arising from the collision of the White Star liner Olympic with the British cruiser Hawk. off the Isle of Wight, on September 20, was begun in the admiralty court before Sir Samuel T. Evans, the president of the court today.
 The suits. which were brought respec- lively by the owners of the Olympic and by the admiralty against the White Star line, being heard simultaneously, are likely to be prolonged.
 Both plaintiffs alleged negligence i1l navigation and the verdict will carry lia- bility for enormous damages.
 Capt. F. J. Smith of the Olympic was the first witness called He related how his ship. with 2ooo passengers. sailed from Southampton for New York at Il o'clock the morning of the accident and returned to her pier at Southampton four hours later with big hole in her starboarl quarter. but with her passengers and crew unharmed. j
 Describing the collision he said the two vessels had travelled parallel for some distance, when the Hawk suddenly turned and collided with the quarter of the liner.
 The attorney general cross-examined Captain Smith with the object of show ing that the sudden swerve of the Hawk was due to the suction from the liner Witness said his experience discredited such a theory. At the conclusion of the examination court adjourned.

LABOR NEEDED ON
 NATIONS FARMS

Washington. November 16.--There is great need for labor on the farms of tho United States, offering opportunity to the immigrant and the native unem- ployed. This condition was emphasized by state immigration officials here today at joint conference with the federal immigration authorities called to find a means of cooperation between the gov ernment forces for the distribution of immigrants, settlers and the unemployed to localities where they are needed.
 Practically every state in the union was represented. A number of resolutions were offered and committee appointed to evolve practical method by which the division of immigration may be had. Charles Harris, manager of the free em- ployment bureau of Kansas, declared that college students afforded the best help on the farms. Four-fifth of the farms of Ohio are in need of labor, according to A. P. Sandles. secretary of agriculture of Ohio.
