CONVERTS HEARD
by ADVENTISTS
Social Feature Of World Con-
ference Develops Into
Striking Service.
SUNDAY LAW OPPOSED
District Members Of W. c. 7. U.
Meet in Big Tent This
Afternoon.
SUNDAY LAW OPPOSED

! The first social feature of the world
conference of Seventh day Adventists,
at Takoma Park. was held yesterday
and developed into a very unusual
service.
1t was a great public reception to
the foreign missionaries and foreign
converts who are present at the con-
ference. All business proceedings were
laid aside for the afternoon, and all
from foreign lands were assembled on
the platform. Swarthy-skinned ma
tives from the Far East, converts to
Christianity from heathenism, were
seen among the faces of the Cauca-
sian missionaries. Representatives
from every continent and many Of the
| island fields were there.
Their names were called. one by one.
and as each rose he told either the
date of his conversion in foreign lands
or the year of his going to mission
stations. Those who could not speak
English used their native tongue. and
what they said was translated to the
thousands in the audience by inter-
prefers The first convert from heath
enism in India by Seventh-day Ad-
ventist missionar ies was so overcome
with embarrassment at facing such
vast throng that she could not tell her
name, which was given by the mission
airy who won her to Christ. Mrs. L. ].
Burgess, of Carnival, India, as Noni-
bala Burrus.
Sunday legislation Opposed.
A paper on the Evils of Sunday Leg
islation" was read by Elder w. A. Col
cord, of Takoma Park. a member Of the
American Religious Liberty Association.
He declared that the Sunday closing
proviso attached to. the last postoff1ce
appropriation bill, which has resulted IN
closing the first and second-class post
offices for the delivery of mail on Sun
day was in effect compulsory Sunday
legislation.
when men make laws prohibiting any
labor or business on Sunday" he said.
that is just as truly requiring Sunday
observance as when they command men
to 60 to church on that day. The for
mer is only a preparatory and necessary
step to the latter. This, it would seem,
ought to be too plain to need any dis
cussion. So far as Sunday laws require
anything, they require Sunday observ-
ance: and that in so far as they prohibit
the doing of anything on Sunday, such
as the pursuit of any ordinary labor.
trade, business, calling, amusement, orl
past-time. they enforce observance.
1T Is not necessary that a Sunday law
should affect all classes and prohibit
all work. and require all to go to church
before II enforces Sunday observance.
II it prohibits but one person from do
ing one thing on Sunday, 1t enforces
Sunday observance to that extent.
District Meeting Today.
Special announcement was made last
night that there would be a meeting to-
day under the auspices of the W. c. T. u.

Patience Bourdeau-Sisco, OF the medical

with Virginia Auth critics.

Reciprocal treatment of motorists in the
respective territories is being sought by
the District Commissioners from the State
of Virginia Negotiations for reciprocal
provisions between the District and Vir-
ginia regarding the issuaVe of automo-
bile licenses were opened by the Commits

einia authorities.
Commissioner Rudolph has opened the
matter again with Gov. Mann and will
endeavor to convince him Of the desira-
bility of steps being taken whereby auto
mobilists, properly licensed in the District,
may be given free use of the roads IN

George Sargent, professional at the
Chevy Chase Club, and B. Warren Cork
ran, one OF the best amateurs in this

it is expected that a large party of
followers of the royal and ancient game
will leave here early this morning for
Baltimore. This will be the last chance
that the golfers in this section of the
country will have to see the British pro-
fessionals as they will leave for Cali
fornia at an early date. Many local
players who will be unable to join the
morning party will go over for the aft

TICKET SCALPERS
REAPING HARVEST
IN PHILADELPHIA
Before Public Sale of Paste
boards Started Wise Ones
Were Disposing of Tickets
at Costly Sum.

Philadelphia, Pa, Oct. 6.-The usual
tiC..et scalping scandal already has APP
peared, and this year apparently with
good cause. Even before the public sale
of tickets at a downtown department
store this morning numerous specu-
lators had liberal supplies of tickets
which they were willing to dispose of
for about three times the face value.
Where these tickets came from nobody
processes to know, but the management
of the Athletics is willing to make a
shrewd guess.
The only tickets given out prior to this
morning went to leading politicians and
TO the local newspapers. 1t is estimated
that tickets to the value of $4,000 went
to the local newspapers, and of this
amount less than 5000 worth went to
the men employed in the newspaper Of
fees and to large advertisers.
Those unable to get newspaper tickets
stood i'm line from s o'clock yesterday
to purchase at the public sale. The sale
opened at . o'clock. BY $50 o'clock all
of the s and s. tickets had been pur-
chased, each purchaser being limited to
three tickets, and the remainder of the
line of 1000 purchasers had to be salts
fed with s. seats. The only persons who
got any fun out of the public sale were
some small boys who sold their places in
the line. One of them sold his place over
twelve times before 1t was announced
that all tickets had been sold.
During the public sale one Spectator
was arrested. He represented that a sin
gle ticket allowed the purchaser to at
tend all three games. He got $l2 for
s. ticket, but the purchaser ascertained
the untruth in the SPECTATORS state
ment and he was arrested for getting
money under false pretences.

easy fashion. All Of the members Of the
vigilants came out of the contest in
good shape, with the exception Of Nc
EIfresh. who suffered sprained arm.
The game will be played at vigilant
Park, Fifteenth and H Streets Northeast.
and viii start promptly at o'clock.
Manager Oliveri states that the field is
now in fine shape, and that before Sun
day rolls around. the gridiron will be en-
tirely enclosed with a wire fence similar
to that which made the park such an at
tractive playing ground last season.
