VIOLATES THE LAW
Publishes Picture Of Money Which
Secret Service Agents Declare
Breaks Statute.


The Lutheran Church Work. the
official paper or the General synod
Lutheran Church, has violated the
Law prohibiting the printing Of pic
lures Of money, according to Capt.
Charles Wright head Of the Secret
Service Department for this section
Of the country The Photographic re-
production Of Pile Of money which
is used for the cover Of this weeks
issue Ii 10 violation Of two district
laws, he says, one against the photo
graphing Of money and another
against the circulation Of photographs
or engraved reproductions.
Rev Or. w. II Dunbar, pastor Of
St. Marks church Of Baltimore. IS
chairman Of the committee Of the
General Synod whiea publishes the
paper. He has under him as editor
and manager Rex. Or Frederick G.
Gotwald. of York, Pa All communi
cations for the paper and negotiations
with regard to publishing articles
and pictures, however. are sent
through Or Dunbar from his address
in Baltimore. Subscriptions are sent
to Philadelphia, while the actual
printing is done in Harrisburg.
Capt Wright. who does not think
that the matter comes under his iur-
isdiction because the paper is not
printed in Baltimore, is not planning
to take any action there unless the al
legged offense is committed again. He
said the publishers and editors prob
ably will be visited by Secret Service
agents and warned The fine, he
thinks, at the most. would not be
over 800
The engraving plates the photo
graphic plates and extra copies of the
picture, he explained, will have to be
surrendered to the Secret Service
men to be destroyed Circulation of
the picture even to explain the of
Tense, he said is prohibited.
Rev. Dr. Dunbar is now at Asbury
Park, spending the last few weeks Of
bis vacation.
An explanation OF the picture is
given in an article in the paper sign
ed by c. r. Botsford who claims the
credit for the idea of photographing
money, and who may thus get the
blame. He explains that a chest, call
cd Jehoiada' S chest, is placed in front
of the pulpit in his church in Der
wick, Pa. Each Sunday members put
money in this chest toward paying
Oh the debt of the church In this
way s4,4O101 has been raised.
Explains Photograph,
The part of his article referring to
the picture of the chest Isl The sixth
anniversary of the chest was cele-
brated in Holy Trinity, August II. A
unique picture of the chest has been
made, a half-tone of which is shown
herewith. The money photographed
is the full amount yielded by the
chest in six years, even to the two
cents. The credit of the church is
shown in that she borrowed the mon
ey without interest for one hour to
have the picture taken.
The wording under the picture is

Underwood victory Certain

But the senatorial situation continues
to hold the limelight, and the race of
the governors Is still a side issue.
The determination of the executive
committee TO put the majority rule into
effect makes, as has been stated, the
election of Underwood a certainly. In
view of the fact that 1t has been con-
sidered possible for some man to re-
ceive a plurality over Underwood were
several candidates TO participate in the
struggle, there has been more or less
apprehension among his friends lest
circumstances might combine TO pro-
duce his downfall
This apprehension. when the major
ity rule is adopted, VIII be dlssipated.
For Ii is a foregone conclusion that
irrespective of the number of candi
dates who might enter, Underwood
would be in the run-off, and in sim
gle handed conflict there Is no ques-
jtion of a doubt in the minds of best
posted men but that the leader of the
party could. with little effort, sweep
the state and practically every county
of the state.

HALLOWEEN SOCIAL

The Halloween social by the
Luther League in the carriage
house of Jose E. Chavez drew a
much larger crowd than was an
ticipated. The building was suit
ably decorated with corn stalks,
pumpkins and other farm prod
ucts, bales of hay answering for
seats. One of the special fea-
lures Of the evening was the
Chamber of Horrors, where
three witches held sway. The
boiling cauldron was in evidence,
from which the witches coaxed
everything imaginable from fresh
ly cooked mice and rats for the
hungry onlookers to the headless
man, fortunes for the crowd be-
ing produced later on. The large
number of ghosts in various out,
of-the-way corners made things
extra pleasant (?) for the visitors.
Coffee and gingerbread, apples
and pears were served.

WRECKING
CAR HAS
HISTORY
Once Used as Private Car of
of Abraham Lincoln
in the East

New Mexico is a land of anti
quities and almost every day some
new" old thing is being dug up
in various parts of the Sunshine
State. Belen has come into its
own and is boasting an "antiqui-
ty," if credence is to be given the
boys at the local division fore
mans Office, and they ought to
know. The wrecking car in the
local yards is a car with a history,
it being the identical car on which
Abraham Lincoln rode to his first
Inauguration as president of these
United States. Of course it was
not a wrecking car in those days,
but a regular palace on wheels
perhaps not so palatial as our mo-
dern electric lighted, elegantly
upholstered, modernly equipped
itinerant coaches which are placed
at the convenience of the chief
executive Of today, but a palace
in its day and age.
After having served it's pur-
pose in bearing eastward the
greatest statesman of the land
Honest Abe-the coach had va
riegated career. One step at a
time it passed through all the uses
to which a we'll built car could be
put. At one stage in it's journey,
it served as a bunk car at ANA
rillo, Texas, though perhaps the
bunkers never dreamed that they
were filling the place of Abraham
Lincoln. From the Texas divi-
sion point, the car was trans
ferred to Belen, where it was
again transformed into the head
car for the wrecking crew. Like
Honest Abe himself, it has almost
filled its position, however hum
BILE, we'll. When its career of
usefulness shall have been ended
in the yards, the old car should
not ruthlessly be consigned to the
scrap heap, but should be given
a place of honor in regard for
past usefulness, although to view
the car today, one is forced to
believe that it's days of service
will yet be many.

ANTS PLACE
ON PHILIPPINE
COMMISSION
0terO announces Candidacy
when Curry Quits
the Race

Santa Fe, N. NJ, Nov. 4. Word
vas received here today from
Washington that Former Cover
nor Curry had withdrawn as a
candidate for a place on the Phil
ippine commission. Until a few
days ago it was understood that
Captain Curry was being favor
ably considered for the appoint
nent by President Wilson and
that his nomination was only a
matter of q short time. Those
Who profess to have inside infor-
nation from Washington, how
ever, now claim that Captain Cur
ry is persona non grata in the
Philippines and for this reason he
was advised to withdraw as a can
didste for the place. 1t is also
said that President Wilson has
lately insisted that the man for
the place must be college bred.
| The announcement of the with
drawal of Captain Curry at once
revived the report that Former
Governor Miguel A. Otero was a
candidate for the place and that
he enters the race with such a
strong backing that he can not
well be overlooked. Under the
law, which makes the Philippine
commission q bipartisan body,
ylfe president is obliged toappoiilt
one member not a Democrat, and
it is believed he would prefer a
Progressive rather than an old
guard Republican.

BYRON'S TROUBADOURS
NEXT SATURDAY NIGHT

Byron S Troubadours, which will
play at Didier's Hall next Satur-
day night, November 8, is adver-
tised as one of the leading musical
organizations of the country. The
program to be presented will be
both instrumental and vocal, va
rious instruments being used by
the company, both in unison and
solo work. The following is taken
from the advertising matter be-
ing distributed by the company:
In organizing this company the
management has exercised special
care in the selection of its men,
bers, both as to ability and morals.
Each member, in his own parti-
cular speciality, has had the ad-
vantage of years of training with
American and European masters.
The galaxy of artists comprising
this company place it in a class
by itself, the greatest constella-
ton of stars in the armament of
concert companies ever before the
American and European public.
In the native songs and chants
of the tropics, to the more fin
ished compositions of modern
composers, their voices blend in
harmony, rarely equaled and nev-
er excelled, always pleasing the
most fastidious audiences.
The programs presented are in
structive, entertaining, amusing,
and always contain something to
please every one. This company
has gained a broad idea of the
public's taste for a clean and
wholesome entertainmentthrou
their experience in touring Amer
lea and the countries Of Europe.
The great variety of instru-
ments played by the Troubadours,
each artist being a thorough mas
ter, combined with their harmon
ious songs, gives an evening of
pleasure long to be remembered.
Throughout the program they
introduce several original compo-
sitions by members of the compa-
ny. Alsosongsin English, French,
German, Spanish and Hawaiian.
