WANT THE BIBLE IN
PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Richmond Minister Com
nlends Board for its Re-
cent Action.
NOT READ IN HOMES.
Sneaker Answers Those Who Oppose
The Order Blu; Not in an Unfriend-
ly Spirit.

richmond, Va, Feb. 3.-Asserting
tina. there are countless homes in
Richmond in which the Bible is new
er opened Rev H. D. C. Maclahlan,
y. D.. pastor of the Seventh Street
Ch: :stian Church, warmly commend
ed The City School Board in his SER
nc last night for directing that the
Hoy Book be read daily hereafter in
the public schools. The subject was
discussed without unkind reference to
these who had opposed the ruling.
L:r. Maclachlan's text was: "Shall
We Have the Bible in Our Schools ?"
He said in part:
".--'ne -reat law Of the decline and
fall of nations set forth in our text
is this-that the decay of any people
is IN direct proportion to their power
ty II or neglect of revelation; and if
the Bible stands for revelation in its
highest written form, it seems to fol-
low that the neglect Of the Bible and
the bringing up of the rising genera
ton in ignorance Of it is species Of
nat pnal apostasy--a trcachery whose
bar ful effects cannot be ovcrestimat
ed.
of course we must not limit the
cor -ept Of vision to written words,
mol must we identify the revelation
1vitis anw book however sac"e9. That
has been one of greatest mistakes
in Protestant Christianity, and has
led % i sort Of bibliatory-a worship
of he book-lwhich has rendered in
the direction Of liberalism and un-
spi: ituali religion. But the living
wo: ! is necessary for national we'll
beg every age. The vision must
be continuous. Prophetic succession
mu.s never be allowed to lapse; for
PFC -iScly the greatest sailing, prcscr-
vim, saving forces OF any age have
always been and are today those pro-
phc c men who. having received
me sage from God, cannot rest until
they have passed it on to their fol-
low :"

London. Feb. 3.-The Porte has or
dsred the Turkish penipotentiaries
not to leave London until hostilities
arg resumed, and has instructed the
army to await the attacks before fir
ing shot.
Thus the Ottomans, with the eXcep-
ton Of the Montenegrins, are the on
ly delegates left in London, remarked
today that nobody could accuse them
of having done all that was humanity
possible to come to terms. Animated
by humanitarian spirit, they add
ed, Turkey wished to avoid useless
carnage and wished also TO show def
ercnce to the advice Of the powers. al
though Europe had been unfair to-
ward Turkey.
London, February 3.-The war be-
tween Turkey and Bulgaria, Greece,
Montenegro and Servia will begin
again at 7 o'clock this evening unless
the last peace efforts of the powers
should succeed or Turkey decide at
the eleventh hour to surrender. 1t has
ever been determined who shall fire
the first shot, as Turkey has decided
that she will allow her adversaries to
take the aggressive.
The Immediate object Of the armies
of the allies is the capture of Adria-
norSe, which has hitherto witnStoGa
the attacks Of its besiegers. Upon this
fortress and combined Bulgarian and
Sci Wan armies, the latter weAi sup
piled with siege artillery, will con-
GER srate their eXertions.

WASHINGTON PARK BURNSI
Wellknown ColOred Resort Opposite
Alexandria Destroyed by
Fire Last Night

About the time congregations were
emerging from churches last night
the southeastern heavens were sudden
ly Illuminated, which caused some
anxiety to people residing in that sec
ton. 1t was at first reported that
fire was raging in the shipyard, foot
Of Franklin street and an alarm having
in the meantime been sounded, the ap-
psIatus started in the direction of the
blaze. Upon reaching Lee and Frank
liz streets, It was seen t-Ss,. .hs. con-
flagration was across the river, and
that the buildings at Washington Park,
formerly known as Motley Hall, were
blazing. BY this time many persons
had gathered in the southeastern sec
tion Of the city, some proceeding to the
channel bank via the reclaimed Bap-
tiZing Cove.
The light caused by the confiagration
enabled people from vantage points to
see men filling buckets from the river
ard dashing their contents on the fire.
All efforts, however, to stay The pro-
gress of the flames were unavailing,
ard the structures, which were Of
wood, were soon wiped up.
Some of the residents of this city
crossed the river in gasoline boats, but
tie fire had about burned itself out by
tie time they reached the scene.
Washington Park has for
several years been used as picnic re-
sort for colored people. The steamer
River Queen transported picnickers to
and from the place until that steamer
was burned at her wharf in Washing
ton. The steamer Angler took her
place on the route last year.

|DENlND BETTER Il.
AND MORE FOOD
Virginia Men Plan Boycott
Against University Com
mons.
FARE NOT ADEQUATE
Lacking, it is Alleged, Both in Guam
tity and Quality to Meet Needs Of
Boarders.

Charlottesville, Va, Feb. 3.-"Bet-
ter food and more food" is the slo-
gan of large number of University
of Virginia students who have plan
ned an organized boycott against the
University commons. The general
dissatisfied with the commons has
been slowly gathering its force dur
ing the past four months, found an
open and combined expression when
the diners adjourned to Minor Hall
in a body and held massmeeting.
BY actual count III students were
present.
D. H. Rogers, Of Bowling Green,
KY, presided, stating the motives Of
the boycotters are calling for gen
eral support in the campaign Of agi-
tation. John I. Viney, of Newport
News, declared emphatically that the
food served by the commons manage
ment was inadequate, both in quality
and quantity, to meet the demands
of hard working student.
Sidney F. Parham, of Washington,
in dealing with the legal phase of the
question. asserted that the University
had broken its implied contract with
dormitory boarders by failing to sup
ply wholesome food, and declared that
no student was bound legally or ethi-
cally to pay the penalty that the uni
versity exacts of roomers who fail
to board at the commons.
The meeting, by unanimous vote
decided to effect permanent organ
zation to be governed oy a select
committee of five, which will repre-
sent the association in all relations
with the commons management and
the university faculty.
One of the leaders in the boycott
states that thirty five men have prom
ised to leave the commons for one
month at least. The boycotters ap-
pear to be in earnest, and have laid
plans for long camaign.
1t is not known what action the
administration will take in the mat
ter. An official of the university
states that the general faculty will
regret the attitude assumed by the
STRIKERS" He further declared that
the students would have found
wiser policy in less belligerent cam
paign.
One of the leaders in the rebellion
is Sidney F. Parham, son of Edward
T. Parham, assistant treasurer of the
Southern Railway Company, at one
time a resident of Alexandria.

and upon reaching Wilkes street the
Robeys insisted that he should turn
west and proceed up Royal street.
Roy refused to 90 on Royal street, al

this time cried murder. He walked
around the two men and kept on up

where the Robeys stopped him and
told him if he persisted in his deierm-
ination to 20 the station house they
would urged charge against him which
would land him in the penitentiary.
