AFTER LUMBER YARDS
Chemist Said to Have Written Let.
ter Instructing Militahts How to
Start Fires in Yards.

London, May "a suffragette
plot to burn all the lumber yards of
London was alleged by Scotland
Yard when the police early today ar
rested Edward G. Clayton, a we'll
known chemist of Richmond, and
charged him with conspiracy.
The evidence against Clayton is in
letter alleged to have been written
by him to Miss Annie Kenney, the
militant leader, and the right bower
of Mrs. Pankhurst This letter,
which listed all the London lumber
yards and described a most effective
method for setting them ton fire with
chemicals, was found AMONG the doc
uments con6scated when Superin-
tendent Quinn and Scotland Yard de-
tsctives raided the Kings Way head
quarters of the Women's Social and
Political Union two Gays ago. Clay
ton refused to make any statement.
Sidney G. Drew was ARRESTED to-
day and taken to Bow Street Police
Court, charged with printing yester-
days issue of the Suffragette. Drew
has an obscure printing office, and as
there was no label on the militant
publication, Scotland Yard had great
difficulty in running him down.
Drew faces two charges, having
violated British law forbidding
printers TO issue anything without
their labels, and also being in con-
fict with the home Offices edict that
any one publishing suffragette litera-
ture would be prosecuted.

Pulling of Tail Sufficient PrOvoca

Wilmington, Del, May 2.-ifai dogs
tail is pulled ard it bites the person
who pulled it the owner of the dog
cannot be held responsible, according
to decision in the City Court ycster-
cay when Mrs. Mary Mccormick was
arraigned for harboring vicious dog.
The court was informed that her dog
bit a child after the latter had pulled
the dogs tail. Prosecutor John Lynn
informed the court that some courts
had held that a dog cannot be consid-
cred vicious unless it has bitten more
than one person; in other words, each
dog is entitled to one bite. Judge
Churchman did not agree with this but
he did believe an owner cannot be helt
liable for dog biting a person afte:
the person has hurt the dog.

DR.. W.iR. tWedderspoon, pastor of
the Foundry Methodist Episcopal
Church, Washington, will preach at
Trinity NJ. E. Church tonight. DR..
Wedderspoon is very popular
preacher and is in great demand as 4
lecturer.
This is the last of the services, cee-
brating the l39 anniversary of Trinity
Chruch. The sermons have all been
very profitable.
/ Last night Dr.. c. L. Mead, pastor
of the First Methodist Episcopal
Church, of Baltimore, preached from
the text, "And 1t shall be said Of Zion
that this man was born in her" In
the course of this sermon DR.. Mead
said, at is manhood which gives value
to the world. Man is the end of al!
creation. The birth place of man is
in the curch. Men Of the purest
character, men born in the image of
God, have their genus in the curch.
John saw it in his vision of the "Wom-
an clothed with the sun, and the moon
under her feet and on her head 4
crown of twelve stars" The scriptures
teach it; my text suggests it What
is man? asked the PSalmist. Nobody
knows. Man is not the physical body.
TIE elephant is larger, the bird swift
er. Excel!ed by the beasts in every
physical characteristic, and yet man
has dominion over them all. Man has
moral nature. He knows right from
wrong. He can choose different cour-
ses of conduct. He has will, he as APP
probation of the good, the true and
the beautiful. The beasts cannot do
so. And he can comprehend some
thing of God, and has capacity for
eternity. We believe with Paul. there
is a natural body, and there is a spirit
ia! body Real manhood is in the
spiritual body.

deal with souls Of men and lead

IB|G 5HAkE-UP IN
CIVIL SERVICE
Democratic Head of Board
is Repudiated in the
Senate.
TO USE SEARCHLIGHT.
Reek and Riot in Politics Likely to
be Shown if Investigation Into the
System is Made.

Washington, May "A big shake
up in the personnel of the civil SER
vice commission is one of the pos
sibilities of the threatened inyesti-
cation by the Senate Civil Service
Committe into alleged abuses and cor
ruption in the administration of the
tiVil service law.
Sena tors who are insisting on probe
of the civil service system in the
debate on the Senate floor yesterday
did not conceal their belief that the
Civil Service Commission had fail
ed to stand rigidly against partisan
ship in the administration of the law.
General John c. Black, although a
veteran Democrat, long head of the
commission, was practically repudi-
ated as a Democrat by senator's of
mis- own party including Senator
Kern, Democratic leader.
No question is now entertained that
the Civil Service COMMITTEE will
make a thorough investigation. 1t
will probably get under way in a
short time. In view of all the
charges made against the Civil Ser
vice administration by Senator's Ov-
erman, Pomerene and others on the
Democratic side, it will be impossible
TO sop short of a real inquiry, and
more thar that, real effort to
strengthen the laws and the admin
;stration of the civil service.
Many Democrats in Congress are
hostile to the civil service, and would
like to revert to the old spolls sys-
TEN. But the inevitable effect Of such
an inquiry as proposed will be to tend
to make the civil service administra-
ion more strict.
If the charges against the civil SER
vice are proven, if it is shown that
there has been reek and riot of pol
tics and partisanship and favorite-
ism in the administration of the law,
then ii is almost inevitable that a
shake-up in the commission will fol-
low. General Blacks official head
will be in jeopardy.

THE SAME OLD BLUFF.
California Senate Will Pass Webb
BilI-Attempts to Amend it VIII
be Made in the House.

Tokyo, May 2.-"Japan may become
understandable if the State Of Califor-
MIA fails to modify its alien land law
attitude" wa sa sprt of resolution
adopted a mass meeting in Young
Mems Hall.
The meeting ws's CALLED to consider
the California question and thousands
of young Japanse attended. Fiery
speeches were made by dozen or
more men, one Of whom declared, amid
cheering thai "Japan's irritation is
growing"
The mass meeting has no official
stand and was not attended by any
body of Official connection. The reso-
ilutian was not addressed to the gov
ernment and the conservative news
papers paid little attention to it.
Sacramento, May 2.--That the Fed
cr:I administration, through the dem
ocrats of the California Legislature
and by appeals from President Wilson
to Governor Johnson. will make every
effort to block the Webb anti-lien land
owning bill was strongly indicated
here today.
With the Senate prepared to put
the measure to final vote before
noon today, Secretary of State Bryan
has evidently abandoned hope Of pre-
venting action in that body
He is concentrating his efforts to-
day on members Of the assembly. In
CAUCUS with .he Senate Democrats
last night, Bryan urged them to ex-
ercise extreme caution in supporting
alien legislation.
Although the Webb measure is pr'ac-
ticaIly certain of passing the upper
hous, today, lhe democrats will make
strong effort to amend it. It is en-
pectc1 that they will fail, and that the
bill will go to the lower ouse for
approval.
II was learned today that Governor
Johnson approves a plan 10 amend the
bill in the assembly to permit Japa-
nesc in the state to lease land for not
more than three years.
Whether the Senate will taken any
action regarding this plan today IS
prob! ematical. The Assembly may
also attach an emergency clause which
would put the bill into effect immedl-
ately after it is signed, thus pre-
venting the Wholesale grabbing of land
by Japanese during the ninety-day pc
riod which ordinarily must elapse be-
tween the time the bill is passed and
! the sine it becomes effective.

Greece and Bulgaria Finally
Reach Agreement Over
Salonika.
BULGARS LEAVE CITY
Little Prospect of Trouble in Europe,
Though it is Admitted Eventuali-
t, ties May Arise.

Athens, Greece, May accord has
been established between Greece and
Bulgaria over the future status OF
Salonika, is the statement made today
by Foreign Minister Coromilas, fol-
lowing receipt of wireless message
from a Greek warship in the Salonika
harbor TO the effect that the Bulgar-
ian troops had evacuated that city.
Paris, May 2.-King Nicholas of
Montenegro, it is understood, has
agreed to give up Scutari.
Austria is curbing her impatience
and Vienna dispatch states that the
diplomatic corps there does not look
for any extensive military movement
by Austria against Montenegro.
London, May 2.-The threatening
attitude of Austria toward the Balkan
allies and the possibility that q gen
eral European war may be the result
directs attention to the present mill
tary and naval resources of the pwers.
1t is scarcely conceivable that any
contingency Will arise to plunge all
the great nations of Europe into a
general war. The rulers themselves
have Infinitely more to lose than to
gain from such calamity, and vol
unfairly will never take, together or
singly,' steps that would provoke a
universal outburst Of flaming death in
Europe. But there is no denying the
fact that tie present situation is a SER
,ious menace to continental peace and
that no one fully acquainted with that
situation would be surprised at the
outbreak of hostilities involving sew
eral-two at least, and perhaps three
of the six powers usually classified
as great"
The triple alliance between Germ
any, Austria-Hungary and Italy, the
Franco Russian alliance, and the
friendly understandings between Great
Britain and France and Great Britain
and Italy, all exist primarily to main
tain the status quo, but secondarily
to checkmate one another in diplomacy
or to fight one another in certain even
Qualities. 1t is important, therefore,
TO- compare the offensive and defen-
siye resources Of these powers, with Il
view to estimating roughly the scale
of possible operations if war broke
out involving any two or more of
them.
