CHURCH UNITY J
IS FASTENED
Big Contributions Bring Inter-
national Conference Nearer.
In. MORGAN GIVES 100000

The Plan Is TO Assemble All Christian
Creeds on Common Ground-Plaos
and Date of tire Conference Have Not
Vet Determined.
With the payment OF q contribution
Of 100000 by J. pierpont Morgan as a
basis, the universal movement looking
toward world unity In religion has re-
ceived impetus, and its founders look
for a much quicker carrying out OF
their plan for an international confer
ence than they had hoped for. The
Idea was born In the general onven
ton of the Protestant Episcopal
Church OF the United States at Gin
cinnati In October, 1910. and the Rev.
DIR. w. Il. Manning, rector of Trinity
church, New York, brought 1t forward.
He is chairman of the committee on
plan and scope.
The fact that Mr.. Morgan had con-
tributed such a large sum to the move
ment was not generally known until
Alfred w. Martin, associate leader OF
the Society For Ethical Research,
made the announcement recently.
Mr.. Morgan is a member Of the gen.
eral commission of the Episcopal
church, and associated with him on
that body, of which the Rev. G. p. An
derson of Chicago Is president, are
Bishop Rhinelander of Pennsylvania.
Seth Low, George Wharton Pepper Of
Philadelphia, Francis Lynde Stetson,
Samuel Mather Of Cleveland and
George Zabriskie Of New York, who Is
treasurer.
Cardinal Gibbons Favors u.
A "world conference for the consid-
GRAFTON OF questions OF faith and or
DER. as the movement Is officially
termed, had never been proposed I'M
til DR.. Manning introduced a resolution
In the general convention OF 1910 that
steps be taken to bring about such a
gathering of representatives Of all
Christian communions throughout the
world. Ills resolution was adopted
unanimously. and Mr.. Morgan an
nounced he would aid the plan in
every way. Later 1t was made known
that he would contribute 500, 900.
This sum has been paid to the joint
commission and In conjunction with
many other gifts, somewhat smaller in
amount, will serve the financial pur-
poses OF the commission until the con
ference Is actually held.
The most recent recruit to the world
conference idea Is Cardinal Gibbons.

In the death of Captain Henry p.
kellam, of Equinunk, mention of
whose death occurred in last Fri
days Citizen, Wayne county has lost
one of its most distinguished citizens.
He was prominent in the days of the
Rebellion and was an exemplary o1ti-
GER. Since the close of the War Cap
tain Kellam has been prominently
Identified with the commercial and
industrial interests of his home town,
taking an active part in its upbuild-
ing and progress. He was one OF the
leading merchants of Little Equinunk
for many years and since 1880 had
been its postmaster
Henry p. Kellam was a son of
Jacob and Hannah (Pierce) kellam,
and was born in Little Equlnunk,
December 15, 1885. The father was
an early settler in Wayne county. In
1918 he and his wife moved to Little
EquinUnk by canoe, coming by the
Delaware. JACOB Kellam purchased
several thousand acres of land and
erected two saw mills at the mouth
OF Little Equinunk river. The sub
jeCt OF this sketch was one OF a fam
lily Of IA children, l of whom reach
ed maturity.
Captain Kellam, who probably was
better known in some sections as
Wing kellam, received his eduCa-
ton in schools in Binghamton. Al
terwards he engaged in the lumber
ing business with his father with
whom he remained until 1861, when
he unlisted under the Stars and
Stripes. Mr.. Kellam assisted in rails
ing a company in which there were
I men from Wayne county, and it
was assigned to the 56th New York

ed a plantation near Beaufort, S. c.,
where he engaged in raising cotton

Annual Report Of Secretary.
To the President and Members of the
Greater Honesdale Board Of
Trade:

To the President and Members of the
Greater Honesdale Board Of
Trade:
Gentlemen: In presenting this,
my first annual report of the Great
er Honesdale Board of Trade, | de-
|sire TO depart somewhat from custom
and lay especial stress upon the pos
|sibil!ties of the future, rather than
the achievements of the past, though
for the sake of having them proper
! ly recorded these are also to be men
|tioned
With the new name, Greater
|Honesdale Board Of Trade, under
which We are henceforth to serve,
accom- panied by a broadened scope of
faction and an awakened sense of
I duty and loyalty to this organiZa-
tion, and through it the county and
town, We have great possibilities of
advancement, and l hope these will
be realized to the fullest extent.
1t is distinctly up to the Board of
TRADE to get busy on the annexation
,grOpositiOn, that of taking portions
III or the whole of Texas township
&ntO the borough Of Honesdale. 1t
Iought to be one of the fixed pur-
poses OF the Board of Trade to at
butt MAKE an euOIl 10 seizure lu6
lanneXation of Texas township lying
contiguous to the town, with the
idea of ultimately bringing into
Honesdale the territory outside,
showing a population of 5000 or
more within an area of about two
and a half miles from the HOnesdale
tpostollice. 1t would be beneficial to
both Texas township and Honesdale
taxpayers and Honesdale would then
be upon the map with a population
OF 5000 instead of 1900 which the
last census reported. Let us all put
our shoulders to the wheel and work
] for a Greater Honesdale. Prosperity
will follow.
Prosperity seems to be the regu-
lar thing for Honesdale and the i'm
Iprovements that are constantly be-
1 ing made are indicative of the faith
in the towns future which is held
\ by the residents of this place and
those who have invested their mon
ey here. Briefly stated, the growth
from 1900 to 1910, inclusive, was
about three times as great as during
the preceding ten years. During the
past decade Honesdale's industries
have grown in number from 25 to
lac.
New warehouses, additions to fac
tories and several dwellings were
erected in Honesdale and vicinity
during the past year to the extent OF

BOARD OF
TRADE MEETING
Stock Of Shoe Company For
Sale -GTGateT HOneSdaIe Ad-
vOCated-- Election Of Officers
Paint Factory TO be Re-
organized.

Get the people thinking" said
Mayor McCarty, at the Greater
Honesdale Board OF Trade meeting
last Friday evening, and then
something might be accomplished. 1"
There was goodly attendance pres
snt, " but where are the business
mem was asked, they should be
here"
Many items OF Importance were
discussed, among Others being a
guarantee or credit fund for indus
tries.
Patrick McCarty appeared before
the board and presented a petition
for stock to reorganize the Homes
dale Paint company. The intended
corporation will be called The
Wayne Paint company, stock selling
at $40 per share. There have al
ready been number of shares dis
posed of. Capital stock, $4,000, Mr..
NcCarty claimed that the company
has received numerous inquiries
about the paint, claiming that it was
the best iron and roof paint ever
made. Letters from firms in the
West, Delaware & Hudson railroad,
bridge companies and local concerns
have been received OF late, asking
for the paint Owing to the many
inquiries from parties who have once
used it and know of its merits,
led to a reorganization OF the old
company. The subscription is now
in the hands of Patrick MCCarty, OF
Willow avenue. The matter was
thoroughly discussed and President
F. w. Kreitner appointed Burgess
c. A. McCarty committee to inves-
tigate the cost OF raw material, pro-
duction, etc, and report to the
Board at the next meeting.
The special committee in charge
OF the sale Of stock OF the Homes
dale Union Stamp Shoe company re-
ported, The committee has done
good work, but there are still fifty
three shares of preferred stock, par
value 500, for sale. The company,
in its short time of existence has
surprised its stockholders and
friends. The Wayne County Saw
ings Bank holds ten shares OF this
stock and the Dime Bank five shares.
The stock pays seven per cent di-
vidends and would make an ideal
investment for any person. Help
Honesdale's industries grow. The
soliciting committee is composed Of
II. E. Simons, Charles T. Bentley
and G. VIM. Peil. Parties desiring
to purchase stock can communicate
with any member Of this committee
The committee was continued and it
was expressed that at the next meet
ing a report of "all stock sold"
would be very gratifying.
Burgess c. A. McCarty, committee
on Greater Honesdale, made a very
favorable report.
Bills amounting to s4465 were
ordered paid.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year:
President, F. w. Kreitner.

several thousand dollars. New in
corporations for the transaction of
business in the town have been
granted charters and the possibill-
ties for continued activities is prom
ising
Honesdale's four banks, whose tot
al assets amount to nearly $1,000
600, have enjoyed a most prosperous
year and all feel friendly disposed
toward helping new industries.
Honesdale has been receiving con-
siderable publicity OF the right sort
during the year and the concerted
effort to make Honesdale known for
what 1t really Is Is meeting with sue
cess. Several conventions have been
held here during the year and have
given beneficial publicity to the
town.
The Board OF Trade issued 1000
copies of small folder for free dis
tribution besides printing special
Board OF Trade envelopes which 1t
sold to the trade.
Much publicity for Honesdale and
its Board of Trade has been gained
by the publication OF special articles
in the local press. The Honesdale
Citizen, in its Christmas edition, gave
half page to Honesdale in which
were many interesting facts and 9TH
er material of vital Importance to
parties out-of-town. A few hundred
copies were sent away by the secre-
tary of the Board, and results have
already been manifested.
During the year just closed the
Board OF Trade was instrumental in
securing an early Sunday morning
train on the Delaware and Hudson
railroad. The train that arrived in
Honesdale, by resolution of the
Board was changed so as to arrive
at 9:55 and leave at 1915, the form
er arriving time. 1t was effective
June $ and is still running on that
schedule.
A petition for a foot bridge at the
head of Court street to Park street,
crossing the Lackawaxen river, was
presented to the court at the instiga-
ton of the Board of Trade; was con.
firmed by the court and the plans for
a reinforced concrete foot bridge Sc
lected and confirmed. The bridge
is now assured, its absolute neces-
sity being clearly demonstrated to
the county commissioners.
Many prospective industries were
thoroughly Investigated during the
year but the board focused their eff
forts upon one industry-The Globe
Yarn Company, which has proven to
be A l in every particular.
w, w. Wood was appointed In
dustrial Scout for Honesdale by the
Board and is doing efficient work.
While looking for new industries
the board has not forgotten its home
industries and has done much for
them.
An effort is being made to secure
two freight trains a day instead of
one as at present on the Delaware
and Hudson railroad.
Fifteen new members were receiv-
ed during the year, making the total
membership 10. Three designations
have been rendered during this per-
iod.
The dues were fixed at 81 per an
mum, payable quarterly in advance.
Dues collected during the year,
$25S.7O.

(NatiOnal News ASSOciatlon)
BELFAST, Feb. with nearly g.
900 troops on the scene to prevent
rioting tomorrow during the great
home rule demonstration which Is to
be addressed by Winston Churchill
and John Redmond, this city took on
an aspect of war today.
Although Lord Mayor Robert J. Nc.
Mordie hoped that the presence of SO
large a body of soldiers would pre-
vent bloodshed, nevertheless new
element of danger has entered the sit
uation in the shape of threats by the
mill girls to prevent the meeting ii
possible.
Although the Ulster Unionists have
given a half hearted promise to make
no attempt to break up the home rule
meeting, the authorities did not relax
their vigilance.
The trouble expected from the wom-
en- is not taken as a demonstration
against home rule, but as an outbreak
of turbulent nature that love violence
and stoop to crafty this extraordinary
passion.
