WOULDN'T ACCEPT
RESIGNATION.
Rev. Oscar Lee Owens to Continue
As Pastor At WalbrOok.

Because he did not think a ba-
zaal should be held to raise funds
with which to equip the baseball
team of the church with uniforms,
Temple Baptist Church, Walbrook,
rendered his. resignation to his
congregation at the service Sunday
morning At the evening service
his flock took vote and refused
to accept the resignation. All of
the deacons of the church then
handed in their designations, and
these, too, were rejected, with the
exception of that of Chas. A. Ruth,
local manager of the Maritime Ex-
change.
The vote on the resignation of
Mr.. Owens, which was taken after
a wordy discussion of the subject,
stood in his favor by the close mar
gin of % to "a. The members of
the baseball team are in defiant
mood, however, and have changed
the name of their team. They de-
clare that Mr.. Owens acted wrong
ly in not favoring athletics in the
church. The baseball team was
organized at the beginning of last
season, but too late to become a
part of any of tho Sunday School
leagues. Mr.. Ruth was elected the
manager. He piloted the players
to successive victories, and almost
every member of the congregation
became an ardent fan. The teams
fund was kept very low, and, in
fact, all that was contributed to it
came from the players pockets.
They had no uniforms and did not
make a good appearance. Accord
ing to Mr.. Ruth, the pastor was
then preached to solve the prob
lem for the team and allow them
some privileges of securing the
necessary money. He refused to
have anything to do with it. de-
claring he did not favor athletics
in the church, and even refused, it
is said, to allow the team to use
the basement of the church for its
meetings.
Then the entire situation was
thrown upon the shoulders of Mr..
Ruth to solve. He spoke to 9TH
err deacons of the church about rails
ing funds, and they were won over
to his way of thinking one by one.
1t was decided to hold several en-
tertainments or bazaars, at which
it was believed the money could be
raised. Knowing Mr.. Owens would
object, the matter was discussed
with the trustees of the church.
These men did not want to cause
a break with the pastor and de-
ferred action. By force of argu-
ment they were being won over to
see that there could be no harm
in the affairs, and then someone
suddenly broke the news to Mr..
Owens. This was Immediately fol-
lowed by his reading a long letter
of resignation Sunday morning.
Later this week, Rev. Mr.. Owens
reconsidered the resignation and
decided to remain in charge OF
Temple Baptist Church.

Phi|ade|phia's Wonderful Mayor

In the Interesting People de-
partment of the November Ameri-
can Magazine appears a sketch of
Rudolph Blankenburg. The follow
ing extract from the article gives
some idea of the kind of man Blan-
kenburg is and also some idea of
what he has accomplished:
"Blankenburg says that the wo-
men and children of the city cleo
ted him. At one of the ward meet
ings held in a factory district, where
Mr.. Blankenburg's opponent was in
the ascendency a woman rose in
the audience. She was a poorly
dressed, worn, frail creature, and
the men assembled stared as she
began to speak. 1t was pitiful
story of a hunted soul struggling
in the tolls of that fiend in human
form, the loan shark. Tighter and
tighter the net had wound until at
last everything had gone and life
had come to her help, unexpected,
unsought. Out of her despair she
had been lifted, freed from the
persecution that had hunted her
down, sent on her way with new
courage. The man who had done
this was Rudolph Blankenburg. With
tears streaming down her cheeks,
she asked their votes for him,
this man who had saved her, and
thousands like her. The opposition
let the speech remain unanswered.
"The day he entered office he
promised the citizens a business adj
ministration. He began by writing
to all the leading shipping agen-
cies in the world calling attention
to Philadelphia transportation ia
cilities and low freight rate west
ward. Mayor Blankenburg is also
Manufacturer Blankenburg, with a
successful business career behind
him. The agencies believed and
the city profited. Recently seven
ocean liners arrived in port on one
day, number undreamed of year
before. He introduced into the
Legislature bill which will permit
the city to acquire and control its
docks and wharves. He stopped
waste everywhere, saved two hun
dred and twenty-five thousand dol
lars on the garbage contract, fifty
thousand dollars on the electric
light contract. He put an end to
the enormous graft of paying dam
ages to people whose property lay
along proposed boulevards, and
adopted a system of paying the as
sessed value plus ten per cent. on
all property needed for city pur-
poses, and this without recourse to
condemnation proceedings.
s'He is a big man, this clean,
wholesome, lovable German, father
ing the children, espousing the cause
of the women, play with all his
might, and working with all his
might as well, at seventy tackling
one of the most difficult tasks
that America offers.

CONFESSION CLEARS
UP OLD TRAGEDY
Man Admits He Drowned His
wife in Canal

Mauch Chunk. Pa, Nov. 1.-THE
news of the confession made by Oscar
F'ritzinger at Norfolk Va, to the eff
feet that he drowned his wife in the
Lehigh canal at Weissport, in April,
1906. was a great shock to the entire
community at Weissport and Lehigh-
ton, where FritZinger is well known
and where nobody, save Fritzinger's
father-in-law. Frederick Mangold, ever
believed that he had taken the life of
his beautiful young wife. He will now
be brought back to Carbon county for
trial
The tragedy occurred on April -,
1906. On that date Fritzinger and his
wife visited friends in Franklin town
ship, close to Weissport, and seemed
to be on the best of terms. The follow
ing morning the body of Mrs. Fritz
niger was discovered in the Lehigh
canal a short distance above Weiss
port.
DR.. c. S. Kirby, of Mauch Chunk,
called to the scene. and after making
a thorough investigation, decided that
holding an inquest was unnecessary,
that there were no marks of violence
whatever on the body and no indica-
lions of foul play. He believed that
she had an attack of vertigo and that
she fell accidentally into the canal and
was drowned.
Fritzinger was at his home when
the body was discovered and assisted
in its removal from the canal, and he
seemed greatly affected.
Some time after the death of his
wife he was arrested on a serious
charge, preferred against him by a
Lehighton woman, and was committed
to the Mauch Chunk Jail. He was
later released upon the promise that
he would marry the woman, which he
did. He then left the community and
nothing had been heard from him
since.

A BRIGHTER OUTLOOK
Wilson Says Developments Are Favor
able to Elimination of Huerta.

able to Elimination of Huerta.
Washington, Nov. IA sudden and
favorable turn of events in the criti-
cal Mexican situation has come about.
AS a result President Wilson has an
nounced that he does not now contem-
plate issuing staement on Mexico.
The decision not to make this state
ment public followed the receipt OF
messages from Nelson 'Shaughnessy,
the United States charge d'affaires,
and from DR.. William Bayard Hale,
who is treating with General Carranza,
leader of the Constitutionalist rebels.
The nature of these messages was not
disclosed.
Subsequently the president made the
following announcements:
s"There are elements in the case
which l cannot at present discuss, but
which make it look to me very much
more favorable"
The president was asked what he
meant by Favorable" and replied that
he used it in relation to the demand
for the elimination of Huerta as the
controlling figure in Mexico.
The president declined to reveal
whether developments at Mexico City
or Nogales, the headquarters OF the
Constitutionalists, had occasioned his
optimism He made it plain that it was
the aim of this government not only to
eliminate Huerta, but all that he stood
for in Mexico's official circle.
The president let it be known that
such Communications as he had receiv-
ed justified him in feeling that the
country approved this governments
policy, so far as it has gone.
Dispatches from Nogales announc-
ing that General Carranza would not
accept mediation by this government
or any other were met with the COM
ment by the White House officials that
no mediation had been offered or was
likely to be.
1t is understood that the parleys so
far with the Constitutionalists have
been confined to discussion of lifting
the embargo on arms and assurances
for the protection of foreigners.
Other developments of the last
twenty-four hours can be summed up
about as follows:
The demands which the United
States government made Wednesday
on Provisional President Huerta at
Mexico City have not brought any re-
Spouse from Huerta or those repre-
senting him.
AS a consequence of his failure to
receive assurance that the newly elect
ed congress would not be convened,
John Lind, President Wilson's per-
sonal representative in Mexico, ended
his negotiations and left Mexico City,
returning to Vera Cruz.
The American charge d'affaires,
Nelson O'Shaughnessy, has not been
instructed to call for his passports,
nor have any steps been taken thus
far toward the withdrawal of his diplo-
matte functions. Any further steps in
that direction are still to be deter
mined.
Reports that pacific blockade may
be. applied to the ports of Mexico are
conjectural and no serious consider
alton is at present being given to that
move. although it is prominent among
the possibilities.

1 VALUABLE SUGGESTION
IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE

It Is now conceded by physicians
that the kidneys should have more
attention as they control the other
organs to a remarkable degree and
do q tremendous amount of work
In removing the poisons and waste
matter from the system by f1Itering
the blood.
Uur1ng the winter months espe-
c1Ally. when we live an indoor life,
the kidneys should receive some
Asslstance when needed, as we take
less exercise. drink less water and
often eat more rich, heavy food,
thereby forcing the kidneys to do
more work than Nature intended.
evidence Of kidney trouble, such as
lame back, annoying bladder trou-
bles. smartfng or burning, brick
dust or sediment, sallow complex
lon, rheumatism, may be weak or
irregular heart action, warns you
that your Kidneys require help i'm
mediately to avoid mere serious
trouble.
Many physicians claim that an
herbal medicine containing no min
erals or opiates has the most heal
Ing influence. An ideal herbal
compound that has had most re-
markable success as a kidney and
bladder remedy is DR.. Kilmer's
