ROGERS CASE POSTPONED.
Bond Sureties Deny Their sigma
turea Are Genuine.

The four men whose names appear as

Rainier who died recently. denied the
genuineness of their signatures at the
Baltimore hearing Of William $. Rogers.
the notary public whose seal is attached
TO the paper.
The hearing was continued until March
TO allow the defense to summon ad-
dtional witnesses. Those who yester-
day denied their signatures were DR..
Harry Nal1y. Horace White. Henry c.

Postmaster Stallings died two weeks
ago and now the officials of the Post

TAX CERTIFICATES.
Law quite Plain on Duties OF the
Assessors Ofhcc.


The question OF safe" tax certificates
is one in which every resident of the
District is interested. The law govern
ing their issuance provides that the as
SCISSOR shall certify only as to taxes
and assessments, general and special.
that may be due and unpaid at the time
of making said certificate
1t further provides that said cert-
ficates when furnished shall be a bar to
the collection and recovery from any
subsequent purchaser of any tax or as
sessment omitted from, and which may
be a lieu upon the real estate mentioned
in said certificate
1t is clear from the foregoing that an
intending purchaser Of real estate is
fully protected against the payment OF
any tax or assessment which has been
omitted from a certificate. on the faith
of which he purchased. In the thirty
four years that have elapsed since the
passage of the act providing for tax
certificates. there has not been a single
instance in which such a payment has
been required.
The cases recently commented upon
does not relate to the omission Of an un-
paid tax or assessment due to the Dis
trict. against which the law provides
but to failure to note a tax sale, some
thing for which the law makes no pro-
vision. Notwithstanding this fact. how
ever, the office makes II a rule to note
all redeemable tax sales. and omissions
are exceedingly rare, not more than two
having occurred in the past three years
The title companies have signified their
satisfaction with the present custom.
namely. the reporting Of redeemable
sales only. and as a large majority of
tax certificates are issued to such COM
panies the labor of reporting irredeem-
able tax sales would be to a large extent
wasted 1t follows that the reporting on
tax certificates or irredeemable sales
would involve the expenditure Of a great
deal of time and labor. and II would be
of small utility or accommodation.

Greenwood Pastor
Attacks Sunday
Picture Shows

Rev. William Duncan, pastor of the
Ormewood Park Presbyterian church,
in a lengthy statement to-day made
strenuous plea against the opening of
moving picture houses on Sunday.
He declared the so-called friends
OF the working man" were in no man
ner philanthropists when they pro-
posed such a move He also declared
that the sanctity of the Sabbath must
be preserved and that the open moving
picture theaters on Sunday was but a
step IN the direction of forgetting the
"one days rest in seven"
Smith Urges Personal Liberty.
Taking just the opposite stand in the
matter is the statement of Alex w.
Smith, chairman of the Atlanta I'm
provement commission. Smith declares
himself heartily in favor of opening
these places at once.
There is no reason in the world. -
he asserts, why clean, educational.
Biblical and modest films should not be
shown on the Sabbath. l believe in
the observance Of the law. I am a
churchgoer but l do not think that
any man or set of men have the rigf-
to take it upon themselves to direct
the actions Of his fellow man. If man
feels that he is doing no harm to him
self or to the community when he
goes to a show on Sunday, why should
any other man hold him up for judg-
ment?
Films To Aid Church Soon.
THE motion picture is going to rev.
olutionize the entire system of edu-
cation. In few years all lessons and
lectures viii be conducted with the
moving picture machine In fact,
l think that it will have a great deal
to do with the church. Sunday is the
only day that most men can get off
to see these things, then why shouldn't
the people be educated and at the same
time be amused by this Sunday system
of shows"

Columbus Mayor

COLUMBUS, GA, March 21.-There will

Columbus If the matter is left TO Mayor
Chappel He believes it would not be
a great while until the movies would
remove the soft pedal and put on such
shows as the proprletOrs desired and
that the public would pay the full price
Of admission. The mayor states there is
mo- city ordinance to prevent moving pic
lures in Columbus on Sunday, but there is
a state law covering the matter, and in
Inmates if any moving picture proprietor
undertakes to start something, that there
viii be a vigorous application of the law.

BO1Ue1s Get Weak
AS Age Advances
The First Necessity is to
Keep the BotUels Gently
Open With a Mild
Laxative Tonic

Healthy old age is so absolutely de-
pendent upon the condition OF the
bowels that great care should be
taken to see that they act regularly.
The fact is that as age advances the
stomach muscles become weak and
inactive and the liver does not store
up the juices that are necessary to
prompt digestion.
Some help can be obtained by eat
Ing easily digested foods and by
plenty of exercise, but this latter is
irksome to most elderly people. One
thing is certain, that a state OF con-
stipation should always be avoided.
as 1t is dangerous to life and health.
The best plan is to take a mild laxa-
tive as often as is deemed neces-
sary Put with equal certainty It Is
suggested that cathartics purgatives.
physics. salts and pills be avoided,
es they do but temporary good and
are so harsh as TO be a shock to a
delicate system.
A much better plan. and one that
thousands of elderly people are fol-
lowing, IS to take a gentle laxative
tonic like DR.. CaldwelHs Syrup Pen
sin, which acts as nearly like nature
as is possible. In fact, the tendency
or this remedy Is to strengthen the
stomach and bowel muscles and so
train them to act naturally again,
when medicines Of all kinds can
usually be dispensed with This is
the opinion of many people Of DIFF
ferent ages, among them Mr. o. P
Miller. Baroda, Mich, who writes: Il
am so years old and have been con-
stipated for many years. Since re-
ceiving your sample bottle I have
procured two DOC bottles and find

SUNDAY PICTURE
SHOWS FAVORED
BYDR. WILMER
Atlanta Pastor Says TheaterS
With Good Moral Tone Are
Not Harmful.

DR. c. 3. Wilmer, rector of st. Lukes
Episcopal church and member of the
r1b1fcation committee of the Men and
Religion Forward Movement, to-day
aroted the Bible in support of the
movement for opening the moving pic
rDre houses in Atlanta on Sunday.
DR.. Wilmer said he, in company with
Or AIemminger and DR.. Wing, have APP
neared before the city council and ask
cd for the appointment of a commits
sion TO look into the Sunday question,
and then be governed by the findings
Of such a fair minded commission.
DIR. Wilmer declared that it was his
opinion that if you put on the wheels
Of wagon too tight the wagon will
not run" He intimated that Atlanta
had her wheels on too tight now.
Not Too Liberal.
we must remember, however, in dis
cussing this Sunday question, that if a
too liberal plan is adopted the day of
rest will be done away with alto
gether
Two thousand years ago Jesus
Christ was censured by the Pharsees,
lust as the advocates of Sunday NOV
ing pictures are being censured today.
The Pharisees held that Jesus was too
liberal i'm his views on the observance
of the Sabbath.
cit was then that that famous SEN
fence was uttered, Sabbath was made
for the man and not man for the Sab
bath
IF Sunday shows are for the bet
termcnt of mans condition, l am in
favor of having them open. \ man
must have recreation. The conditions
in Atlanta seem to be such that the
ordinary run of men have to work six
DAYS i'm order to make a living. In that
time he is the property of his en-
ployer He must give his employer the
best there is in him or he will lose his
lob. on what day, then, VIII he have
a chance to refresh his mind unless it
is the Sabbath?
Equal Sunday Rights.
a man has just as much right to
play his band on Sunday as l have to
deliver my sermon. Only we must
get together on some kind of a propo-
sition so that his playing will not dis
turb me and my preaching will not dis
turb him. For a long time the seventh
day has been agreed upon as the day
in which all people will turn their
mind to religious things. Then if the
moving pictures do not interfere with
my preaching and are conducted in a
moral atmosphere, say let them run.
Man has personal liberties which no
other man has a right to infringe upon.
Every man is answerable to God in
dividually, and what anybody else does
has no influence on the answer. The
only limit that is thrown around
mans Liberties is that he shall not be-
come a nuisance. II the picture shows
are not nuisance, let them run l am
in favor of amateur Sunday baseball,
and as to the right and wrong of Sun
day bathing, that any man should be
against It so long as the moral tone
is good, is ridiculous"

EMINENT GARGLE
CAUSES WOMAN TO
STARVE TO DEATH

NEW YORK. March 21.-Mrs. Louise
Abraham, of No. Isl Nepperham ave-
nue., Yonkers, starved to death after
she used a liniment by mistake as a
gargle.
Two weeks ago she consulted a ply
sician for sore throat. The prescrip-
ton given by him was put up by a
druggist in a bottle similar to one in
which Mrs. Abraham had mixture for
external use. By mistake, she poured
some Of the mixture into a glass and
used it in place of the prescription.
Her throat became so inflamed she
could not swallow. For a week she
did not eat anything. She wasted
away and efforts to save her were
fruitess.

not tear herself away, though she
knew that each glance between them
was like an arrow in her heart.
The door opened and woman
came in. A gray-haired woman, with
wrinkles round her eyes and mouth,
and pallid cheeks. She was dressed
in a plain black suit Of antiquated
cut; she was just motherly-Iooking
body of forty-odd years. The major
looked up and stared hard.
who is that, Elsie?" he whispered,
as she seated herself at Toms table.
Miss Ingleby!" stammered the girl
in amazement.
The rest of the meal was passed in
absolute silence. Elsie's eyes took in
every detail of the incident. Shesaw
the expression of amazement that
crept into Toms eyes, saw him at
tempt to speak, choke, and at last rise
and hurry from the room. And Miss
Ingleby, brave Miss Ingleby who had
stripped herself naked Of her articles
to save another woman, sat there un-
concerned, the cynosure of all eyes,
making courageous snow OF eating
until the last course was served.
Then she went to her room.
There Elsie found her afterward.
She understood that the elder woman
had made atonement for her offense.
There could be none greater than
that. The dazzling beauty, the pride
of the footlights, turned into plain,
old woman to save an innocent girls
heart.
"Why did you do it?" whispered
Elsie.
Because" answered Miss Ingleby
slowly, 81 was young once, and sweet
and innocent-ike you
She kissed her goodbye and none
of them saw her again. But on the
piazza Elsie found Tom, walking like
a mailman. When he saw her he

Miss Ingleby rose up slowly. Her
face was pale, her lips trembling.
ION Thursday morning I will give
you my answer" she answered.
That was Tuesday evening. Tom
Banks lived in a fever of happiness
during the following day. He could
scarcely attend to the details of his
business. His whole being burned
with a consuming passion for the
beautiful singer. What though few
years in age separated them-two or
three, or five at most? He had known
of cases Of greater disparity in which
happy marriage had resulted. He
did not think Of Elsie at all.
And she had\been a silent witness
of that last interview. From her lit
tle r00r1 IN the wing 0f the hOuSa
she had seen Tom seize Miss Ingle-
by's hand and cover it with kisses;
she could not tear herself away, even
though the sight scored her heart
as though burning hand were laid
there.
She dreaded the evening meal.
There were but three other guests
at that season; her father and herself
sat at a table facing Miss Ingleby,
and Tom, who had boarded at the
hotel ever since their engagement.
