Judge Gober S
Friends Indignant.

The statement published this morn
ing and credited to Chief Lanford of
the detective department, that two Jew
eled earrings from the loot taken from
the thieves had been presented to Judge
Gober's daughter, is absolutely untrue.
Friends of Judge Gober cite his long
record on the bench and al the bar in
Georgia and attach little Importance to
the charges made against him. They
are extremely bitter against the At
anta detectives and the Pinkerton men
who have brought the charges against
his law partner and incidentally
against him.
George f. Gober had for many years
been solicitor general and then supe-
rior court judge OF the Blue Ridge cir
cult. A few months ago he opened a
law office in Atlanta. and was asso-
ciated with Robert r. Jackson, a former
Justice of the peace

PONCE DE LEON BALL PARK, Aug,

The Crackers tailed the first run of
the game. In the second inning with
two down, Callahan and Lyons doubled

score.
The Bills came back in the next in

Danzig and the last one was a wild pitch.
On this crazy chuck Elwert went to third
and Danzig to second. Becker was or
dered TO pass McAlister filing the bases.
Johnny Dobbs called Alperman's dope by
sending Gribbens in to bat for the weak
hitting Aitchison. Gribbens' effort came
to naught, for Alperman picked up his
grounder and stepped on second, forcing
McAlister. NO RUNS,
Harold Johns took up the pitching bur-
den for the visitors. Harbison's drive to

drive to center. TWO RUNS
Aitchison made a pretty one-hand stab

COLONEL SOUNDS HIS
"KEYNOTE" IN DETAIL
Tells Just What New Party
Stands for and What 1t
Hopes to Do.

CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-All bust
ness was halted at the National
Progressive convention today
while 10000 delegates and spec
tators cheered Roosevelt. The
demonstration was the longest
and most remarkable ever seen at
a convention in the United States.
1t was remarkable not only for the
enthusiasm displayed but for the
prominent part taken by women,
1t was a demonstration for wom-
ans suffrage as we'll as for the
Progressive leader
Mrs. Ferdinand White, of Chicago.
was carried by the speakers stand be-
fore the ex-president crying I'VE want
Teddy" and various women's suffrage
leaders, including Miss Jane Adams,
derland. of Los Angeles, were lifted to
the platform and there welcomed by the
colonel. Other women delegates fol-
lowed these and received the same
hearty greeting.
The demonstration for Colonel Roose-
Welt broke all records for duration. last
ing 80 minutes. or ten minutes longer
than that for w. ]. Bryan at Denver.
When the demonstration ended the
former president at once delivered his
speech. christening the new organiza-
tion the National Progressive party"
1t was the first time the name of the
organization was spoken and it was
greeted with cheers.
Beveridge Gets a
Big Ovation.
Thirty minutes after the Ma
tional Progressive convention was
scheduled to meet today ex-senator
Beveridge called the gathering to or
der.
A demonstration greeted the Hoosier
chairman as he took the gavel For
several minutes he stood bowling and
smiling, while the cheering continued.
Rev. Mr., Spetz, of St. Stanislaus
church. Chicago, was introduced by the
chairman to deliver the invocation. I'm
ploring divine guidance for the con-
vention very briefly, Mr.. Spetz led the
convention in the Lords prayer in clos
ing the invocation.
Mrs. Roosevelt and her daughter
Ethel were interested observers of the
convention proceedings.
In spite of the enthusiasm that
marked the conventions opening. il
was evident that the delegates were
waiting for another attraction 1t was
Roosevelt day.
The vast audience, 10000 people,
joined in singing America" The song
rolled out in vast volume of sound
that seemed to give vent to the pent-
up enthusiasm of the people in the hall
After the singing, a shrill shout,
"Hurrah for Teddy" went up. While
the convention still waited for Roose-
welt the crowd sang Dixie" and as the
great volume of sound went up Colo
mel Roosevelt arrived at the door of
the hall.

as Jesus had done, in the power which Jesus promised. Do you doubt that? If then the church is the body of Christ, it would seem to be a very large part of her functions 10 do such works as lie to her hands, not narrowly, or in an indi- vidual sense, but in a broad. comprehen- slve sense. Hers is the attempt indeed, to heal the open sore of the world, If she can do it in the spirit with which Jesus worked. If she cannot do it in that spirit, but must needs fall back upon rowdy, striving, worldly and wordy method, then certainly she has no business to do such work. But the point of the whole matter is that her life Is that same Christ who was present at Nazareth and in Judaea long ago. She is His body; her hands, however numerous are His hands, Ter mind is His mind. because her faculties have been turned over to His will.
 What do you suppose it will involve? Certainly, first of all. that she should walk in love. not in pride, nor in bitterness And yet she must do the work. II is her supreme business to possess His spirit, and having it, to manifest it in the things that she does. Suppose one of the new brand of ministers constantly stirring ns people to see this need. brings forward concrete and local instances of what needs to he done, showing how playgrounds, for instance. are essential 10 the life of the community right there where that church is striving to impress Christian people with the grandeur of their opportunities, and the practical meaning of the law of Christ, win that minister succeed 'n leading that church into the Kingdom of God? win he seem 10 deny the resurrec- ton or the atonement, or any of the doc trines of Christianity2 Will he tend to swing his people away from the necessity Of regeneration and thus tangle and con fuse their souls by main care for 'he things of time the things that will van ish away?

course it is worldwide in its extent and portends much.'
 I think I have never seen the fact as viewed by one who follows the old paths more clearly or vigorously set forth than in the words l have quoted. We have been visited by the Men and Religion Movement here, and especially we have sat at the feet of pr. Stezele, who among other things was wont to say. ''It is not the business of the church to allay the social unrest, but to stir up more social unrest" I am not sure that agree with everything that Dr. Stelzle said in Birmingham or that he has said elsewhere That is not the point. Your words frankly indicate your view that Dr. Stelzle and all his works are of Anti-Christ and not of the Gospel The Men and Religion Movement really cen ters around the social conditions, in arousing public conscience to social wrongs, in frankly striving with the out CT darkness, in trying to win again the lost sympathy of the laboring classes by the frankest possible cooperation with them in securing social justice.
 I do not see how your logic works agree ably with what I know of your intense kindness and sympathy of heart. Is 1t not for instance, a matter properly chal- lenging the sympathetic attitude of the church. that children work in glass fac- tories or in cotton mills when they ought to be in school: accommodating disease instead of an education? Is it of no con- sequence to the church that these and other children should have no plsy-time, no place of play, not even the streets no better environment than an ignorant and dirty home? or Is 1t of no consequence to the church, for example that America should go on manufacturing and selling dangerous phosphorus matches by means of which multtudes of women and girls who work in the factories. and children who play with the matches, are poisoned by slow and horriable death. or else by rapid and dreadfully painful death?

JUDGE HUGH L. BLACK, for many
 years a judge in Tennessee and a 0 member of the federal senate, re- lated the following incident of the Rev. James Axley. an eccentric, though wide ly known preacher of east Tennessee m the early days This famous divine was a great favorite and with none more than with Judge White.
 It was announced that MT. Axley would preach in Jonesborough the following Sunday. large congregation was pres ent and expectation ran high. A clerical brother came in with MT. Axley and was put up to preach The congregation was disappointed and not pleased and there hayior during the services. The sermon ended and Mir. Axley arose. In th0e days, where two more preachers were present each one had something to say. The people thought II great waste Of time to go long distance to church and be put off with short service. He stood silently surveying the congregation until all eyes were riveted upon him. He then began:
 '@It may be a very painful duty, but it is very solemn one for minister of the gospel to reprove sin. vice and mis- conduct whenever and wherever he sees it. But especially is this his duty at chuch and on Sunday. This is a duty I am now about to attend to. And now,'
