sition in Hastings Court

Hustinxs Court grand jury on OCTOBER
20 to all persons who failed 70 make
proper returns Of their income and
tho value OF their property. that they
might be legally assessed by the com
missioner Of revenue. will expire this
week
For more than Q month now the jury
has been probing deeply into the cases
Of alleged tax-dodgers. but 30 far the
only witness summoned has been Conn
missioner OF Revenue Tresnon. The
Jurors have been devoting most OF their
attention to Q mass OF figures supplied
by the State Auditors ONCE and Com
missioner Tresnon. After q recess OF
several days the jury will resume 1ts
inquiry this afternoon ut $3.50 O'CLOCK.
1t Is regarded ~ highly probable other
witnesses will be called this week.
though there was no definite statement
made to this effect.
Since ono month WAS allowed all
delinouents to correct returns made
to the Commissioner OF Revenue the
latter's once has been busy. Many
persons. fearing indictment for evadins
the State taxes. have come FORWARD
to correct erroneous statements. ana
the result has been that many dollars
have been added to the Common
wealth's income.
At the time Of announcing the thirty
days limit the grand jury gave warn
ing that all delinQuents at the expfra-
ton o. that time Will face tncict-
ments.

WILSON BUTTONS
EQUAlEO VOTES
Democratic National Committee
Figures Out How 1t
Was All Done.

M one has ever found the exact
relation between campaign buttons and
votes. but il is known now that II
takes e.S76.95o buttons to elect Pres
ident II required that many to elect
Governor Wilson. or at least the Dem
ocrat.c National Committee. OF which
Observation-Disclosures ]. Taylor Eliyson
is a member. bought that many. Now.
he received about the same number OF
notes.-the oiiciai figures have not ye'
been com piled-so a deducing statlsti-
clan could figure that each button was
worth vote. But those who know
boy, know that campaign buttons are
the coin # the realm during the lat
ter part OF September and October and
have very little TO do with votes
Counting the Wilson buttons Is only
one OF the many things that the Dem
ocratic National Committee has been
doing since election in figuring what IL
costs to elect n President. There were
2s.2oo,GeO pamphlets issued from the
New York headquarters. and 3'ii'-"'"
of these were IN foreign LANGUAGES
In addition to these there were 2.e'o'l' q
r,uIrigraph letters printed
The committee also has found tha'
exnr.ss companies do pretty well dur
ing a national campaign. 1t sent out
1896 express packages. for which II
paid the companies S1S.327. Part OF
these packages was made up Of htho-
graphs of the candidates, and 1,ao0.o'e
were sent from New York.
The mali is too slow for campaign
communica so the national COM
m:ttees use the telegraph wires From
the headquarters OF the Dem ocratic
National Committee 10000 kilograms
were sent out and about the same num-
Der received During the last TWO
weeks o. the campaign as many as
eleven operators were used at head
quarters.

'kNIGAT ACCEPTS
GAINESVILLE CALL
Calvary Baptist Church Reluc-
family Consents to His
Resignation.
TAKES EFFECT ON JANUARY I
Vacancy May Revive Plans fol-
Joint Westward Move
ment of Churches.

After mature reconsideration. Rev
Eyland knight. d. D.. pastor of Cal
vary Baptist Church. announced to hi,
congregation yesterday that he could
not withdraw his resignation. and tina,
it was his intention to accept the
call recently etended him by the First
Baptist Church OF Clarksville. Tenn.
DR.. knight on the preceding Sunday
announced his intention Of accepting
a call to Clarksville. but at q meet.
ing Of the congregation held on Wed.
nesday night he was unanimously
asked to reconsider and to remain In
Richmond.
After expressing his appreciation OF
the kindness , 4 thetnembers of Calvary
kindness OF the members OF Calvary
Church. DR.. Knight said he had come
to the conclusion that 1t was his duty
to accept the call: that the work to
which he was going presented many
advantages. and that he felt sure that
the congregation here would continus
to make progress under another lead
ership.
Takes Eject January 4.
The congregation with regret ac-
copied the resignation to take effect
January 1. and requested DR.. Knight
to appoint a representative committee
from the membership on pulpit sup
ply 1t is understood that a commit
tee Of about fifteen members will be
named to look about for a suitable
man for the pastorate. and to make
recommendations to the congregation.
Besides having had successful
pastorate at Calvary Baptist Church.
DR.. Knight has identified himself with
many progressive movements. having
been a trustee OF Richmond College
and an active man In its new build
ing plans. He was also prominent
in the movement leading to the es-
Enlistment Of a Juvenile Court, and
has given much Of his time recently
to supervising the work Of the pro-
baton officers among juvenile offend
6ers
May Move Westward.
It could not be stated definitely by
members Of Calvary Baptist Church
yesterday whether the vacancy IN the
pastorate would have a tendency to
revive plans presented about year
ago for consolidating with Grace
Street Baptist Church in a joint west
ward movement At that time the
two congregations considered a gen.
eral plan for joint acquisition OF
property in Lee District, with the
view Of the future erection Of
building sunicient for the needs OF
both congregations. but nothing came
OF the negotiations. Calvary Church
owns the lot at Pine and Grace
Streets, running out to Grace Street
in front Of its present building, and
1t has been suggested that IL might
erect q new church building there.
though the fact that there are other
large Baptist churches In the vicinity
seemed an argument for a westward
Dr. knight said he would take time
to consider the personnel OF the COM
mittee on pulpit supply. in order that
It might be az representative As pos
sible.

DR., HOGE REPLIES
TO COOK sermon
Minister Calls Christ Of. Rus
sellism THE Counterfeit
of Satan"

Just before the sermon last night
at Emmanuel Baptist Church. Rev. b.
Lacy Hoge answered the following
questions that had been propounded
to him by a correspondent OF The
Times-Dispatch:
First. What do think Of Mr.. COOKS
sermon at the Lubin?"
This Brooklyn Cook that the Rus
sellites brought to Richmond sought
to buy the birthright Of our people
with a more worthless mess Of pottase
than that for which Esau sold his
birthright to Jacob"
Second. Is David in heaven? Are
any Jews IN heaven who died beHore
Christ came?"
1t is evident that David and many
other Jews OF the Old Testament saints
are in heaven; for the Scriptures
speaking Of Christs crucifxion and
resurrection, say The graves were
opened. and many Of the bodies Of the
saints which slept arose. and came
out Of their graves after His resur-
rection. and went into the Holy City.
and appeared unto many Matt XVII.
SO and SD These spirits Of just men
made perfect (Heb. xii. 23 went with
Jesus into heaven when He ascended

TENER MAKES DENIAL.
Governor States That He Has Not
Bought Philadelphia Ball Club.

RICHMOND, Va. December Gov.
John K. Tener of Pennsylvania entered
a denial last night to rumor that he
had purchased or intended purchasing the
Philadelphia National base ball club.
He said he was not negotiating with
any one for the club in any way. but
that he had frequently asserted that the
club should be the property of Pennsyl-
vanians and preferably Philadelphians.
and that he would foster and give aid to
any such movement.
Gov. Tener is one of the most prominent
figures at the fifth annual governor s
conference in session here. Many OF the
base ball enthusiasts recognize him as
the hero in many brilliant games and his
welcome here has been hearty.
Answering a dispatch which told that
he had bought the Phillies. he said:
II have not bought the Philadelphia base
ball club nor do 1 intend buying it,
have not been in any conference with
any one or any body of men looking to
the purchase of the club. Being gov
ernor of the state OF Pennsylvania Is a
pretty big job and occupies considerable
of my time. 1 have always said that
the club should be owned by Pennsyl-
vanians, preferably Philadelphians, and
am now. as l have always been, ready
to help toward making this possible.
There are a number Of ways to achieve
this result and it should be done quickly"
