At the service last evening Mr.
Hantzmon delivered the second num-
Der of his series of lectures upon the
life of Jesus Christ. Prior to taking
up his lecture he made a short talk
upon the marriage law. He said that
ne took the presence Of those i'm the
congregation to mean that they be-
lieved in morality and are in favor
Of a marriage law that is not corrupt
He said that public sentiment had
been aroused but that one man or two
men could not do much alone and he
asked those present TO stand back
of the movement for reform He call
ed attention to a letter written by
the Rev. ?. NJ. Kirkus, rector of Trim
ity p e Church, which was published
in a local newspaper on Saturday, and
advised his hearers to read It.
In this letter Mr. NJ. Kirkus sides
with Mr.. Hantzmon in his views on
the present marriage law. Ho states
that the fundamental cause of the III
repute Wilmington has gained as a
Gretna Green is the defective law
concerning marriage which is at pres
ent in force within the state. He
states that the provisions in the bill
( drawn by Secretary J. Austin Ellison.
Of the Board of Health, with respect
to marriage in this city. are worthy
Of careful consideration, but they do
not touch the vital defects I'm the
present law. Mr.. kirkus advocates
enforced residence in Wilmington for
at least twenty-four hours before a
marriage license can be obtained A
longer time would be better. he states
but he had been informed that this
] twenty-four hours for reflection had
sey where il is part of the marriage
law. He also advocates that no mar
riage licenses be issued after
o'clock at night contending that the
worst kind of marriages are those
which deliberately plan for the cover
Of darkness.

PASTOR ASKS
FOR PEACE
MIR. HantzmOn "FOrgiveS Those
Who Speak Evil Of
Him"
WILL CONTINUE FIGHT
FOR BETTER MARRIAGE LAW

Large congregations at both morn
ing and evening services yesterday
heard sermons by the Rev william
II. Hantzmon, pastor of the First NJ.
p. Church. who was asked to resign
a week ago by a committee Of his con-
gregation. following the publication Of
letter deploring the marriage traffic
and making reference to the Rev.
George l.. Wolfe, former pastor Of the
church. A large number OF those in
attendance at both services were from
other congregations, who had been
attracted probably by the notoriety
Mr. Hantzmon gained when ne turned
TO the newspapers to make public his
views on the marriage question. II
those who attended either service ex-
pected to witness any trouble between
pastor and congregation, they were
disappointed, no effort being made 10
forbid him the use of the church.
While Mr. Hantzmon referred sew
eral times mildly to the trouble. ne
asked for peace and said that he was
willing to forgive those who had
spoken evil Of him and. had done evil
things toward him.
He said that he had found out since
the previous Sunday that he was not
asked for his resignation because he
had written the article for the news
paper, but because he had preached
a sermon upon the doings of the devil
and that It had angered some persons
who declared It was profane. He
asked God TO have mercy upon those
people, and said he was willing to
forgive them.
He also said: when 7 walked into
my home my mother threw ner arms
around me and told me she was sure
that I had done no harmful thing, and

TARIFF HOLDS UP
MILLIONS IN GOODS
Government Warehouses Being
Taxed Awaiting New Meas
ure to Become Law.

More than s150,00o,00 worth of mer-
chandise, goods of every character
upon which the import duty is to be
lowered by the new tariff law, is
stored in bonded warehouses at the
various iorts. All of this merchan-
disc is being held in bond by the Gov
ernment, and will not be entered un-
TIL the new law is effective.
Thousands of merchants and busi-
ness men having shipments arriving
ale taking advantage of the bonding
privilege to derive full benefits from
lowered duties, and are holding back
their goods. This method is in strange
contrast to that used a few years ago,
when the Payne-Aldrich law was
pending. Then the importers of the
country had great ocean greyhounds
rushing to port with full cargoes, in a
mad race to enter before the moment
lie new law became effective.
Though detailed figures are not avail
able and Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury Hamlin can only estimate the
total of merchandise held in bond, from
the changing daily reports from various
ports. the total is rapidly mounting.
Customs Warehouses Taxed
Every custom warehouse where goods
may be placed in bond, is being taxed TO
its capacity, and goods for interior
points in bond are being hustled along
20 be held at these interior cities.
Liquidation of merchandise entries at
the various ports are unusually light
because of the disposition to bond or
bold them back for a time. Importer
putting shipments in bond have the
advantage of withdrawing a small part
OF them at any time they are needed.
The additional cost of bonding is trifie
tOmpared with the slash in duty on
many articles.
When the new tariff law becomes ef-
fect1ve, II is possible that merchandise
held In bond will mount TO the 500 000, 900
mark in value. There is little fear. how
ever, that any of the big ports of entry
VIII become clogged. The bulk of goods
now held is in New York, where the
facilities are extensive. But even the
border ports are holding bonded goods
for importers waiting for the new tariff.
Orders To Collectors.
Elaborate preparations have been
made by the Treasury Department for
putting the new law into effect with
smoothness and dispatch. Instructions
have been sent to all collectors to make
entries in the usual way without con-
Germ for : events in Washington until
they are notified by telegraph from the
department when the new law is eYec-
tive, which will be the moment Presi-
dent Wilson's signature is attached
and arrangements have been made to
give the Treasury advance notice of
the exact moment of signing. This. il
