Women Use Phone
In Anti-Liquor War
Feminine Sleuths Tell Savannah
Chief Of Police Where Raids
Should Be Made.

SAVANNAH, oct. 25.-Despite the
admonition Of the Ministerial Alliance
to case all efforts to reform, and
study the Bible" the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union forces have
been busy this week in a mysterious
but effective way.
From various points ir the city the
chief of police has received tele-
phone calls, with d feminine voice at
the other end Of the line, requesting
a raid on a grocery or general mer-
Chandise store, where 1t was alleged
liquor was sold as well. The result
was that several Violators Of the pro-
hibition act have been bound over to
the higher court.
1t was, however, no easy task to
secure a conviction. In one place
where 25 men were caught in the
bar the roll was called to the twenty
fourth name before a rather timid
appearing person admitted buying a
drink.

Mr.. Bauknight, I'VE could make the

the money we need to get started, and
they would not miss it. They give

EP|SCOPAL|AN
VOTE ON CHILD
LABOR SCORED
Vigorous Protest Regulated by
House of Deputies
at Odds With Bishop,

NEW YORK. oct. 25.-The House
OF Deputies Of the Protestant Eplsco-
pal Church repudiated to-day the Wig
orous protest against child labor en-
bodied in Yesterdays resolution, and
adopted a substitute measure passed
by the House OF Bishops and which
one OF the deputies characterized as
innocuous and likely TO lay the church
open to serious misunderstanding on
the subject.
Following is the child labor resolu-
tion adopted
Resolved, That this general
convention of this church con-
dennis the employment Of chill
dren In labor beyond that adapted
10 their age and strength and at
times or in places which would
deprive them Of opportunity of
education suited to their capacity;
but 1t recognizes that labor is
honorable and that every child
should be trained according to his
natural aptitude. so as to qualify
him to labor truly for his own
living. Therefore we emphasize
the importance Of vocational
training and commend the care
full study of that subject TO all so
cial workers.
Resolution Called lnnocuous.
When the substitute resolution
came up to-day the Rev. DR.. Melish,
of Brooklyn, said:
There is not an employer of child
labor in the United States who will
not be overjOyed if this body adopts
that resolution. 1t can be used as an
argument TO support child labor as
well as to oppose it. 1t says nothing
whatever about the age of the child,
and does not in reality condemn the
employment of children. 1t leaves it
to the individual judgment of the EN-
ployer."
The Impotence of the deputies,
which had increased daily during the
sixteen days of the convention be-
cause of the scant consideration given
by the bishops to the constructive and
progressive legislation originating in
the lower house. came to a head when
the bishops turned down the resolu-
ton requiring a two-thirds vote to
change the prayer book.
Deputies Ignore Bishops.
The bishops did not spare the dep
uties in explaining why the measure
was rejected. Many believed the
bishops were retaliating for the depu-
ties criticism of the bishops because
of information leaking out about the
latters' proceedings.
When the deputies were informed
that unofficial word had been received
that the bishops would like the depu-
ties to remain in session to pass on
new bishop the deputies ignored the
suggestion and adjourned
The bishops later went into confer
ence and the spectacle was presented
OF a general convention one-half ad-

LAST ECHO OF
RETROCESSION.

President Taft lash night attended
banquet of business and professional
men at the Hotel Willard in Wash
ington. His speech on the occasion
makes several columns in Washing
ton papers.
Among other things Mr.. Taft turn
ed his eyes again upon Virginia terri
tory south of the capital city, en-
bracing Alexandria city and county,
and reiterated what he has from time
to time said since he entered the
White House that the area should be
again part of the District of Co.
lumbia.
The President approved the proposed
memorial bridge connecting Washing
ton with Virginia, and declared that the
District of Columbia should get back
from the Old Dominion the territory
across the Potomac originally con-
Itained in that district, but coded back
to Virginia years ago.
81 would very much like to direct a
lawsuit to test the question whether
the retrocession of half the District
of Columbia to Virginia was within
the power of Congress" said the
President.
Mr.. Taft's words are suggestive. He
General can find a substantial reason
for hoping for any success from such
a suit, he will direct action before ne
leaves office. Whether this be the
method, or some other, the President
added that the District must reac-
quire from Virginia that land which
was formerly in its possession, IN or
der that it may have room to grow.
Mr.. Taft's words are Suggestiv. tie
says chat if the Attorney General can
find substantial reason for hoping
for any success from such suit, ne
will direct action before he leaves Of
fee"
The Attorney General may find ii
difficult to find stable ground upon
which to base suit, according to the
best legal talent. A well-known ana
able Alexandria lawyer in referring
today to this lateS: suggestion from
the President, said it would be diff.
cult matter to find grounds upor
which to start suit for retrocession
He called atter!:ion to the fact thai
the constitution did not provide for al
area of ten-square miles for the ust
of the federal government. 1t sal;
the area should not exceed ten miles
not thai it should be of such dimen
sions. The government, he said, Otter
sold useless forts and other property
and in the case of Alexandria city ant
county, it found it had more grount
for governmental purposes than need
ed. and merely turned it over to TIL
state from which it had been taken.
