BY IGNORING THE RULES
RUNSAFOUL Of RED TAPE
Collector Malone, However, Is Likely
to Have His Action
Approved.

Having had his suite Of rooms in the
custom house at New York painted WIFI
out asking permission of the proper
authority. Dudley Field Malone, recently
appointed collector of the port, has run
afoul of official red tape. But IT'S an
right for the man he should have asked
about it is a good friend and not apt TO
he cautious nor jealous of his authority.
Collector Malone has written to AS
sistant Secretary Newton OF the Treas
ury Department, whom he should have
consulted in the first place. telling how
sorry he is, and how he didn't mean to
do it and how he Is ready to pay FOR 1t
himself 1t Is real humble pie that he
eats He may get a fire-eating letter
telling him the enormity of his offending,
even threatening to not have the bill al
lowed, but it will be all a joke, as he VIII
find out before he comes to the signature.
Rooms in Bad Shape.
When Collector Malone moved into his
quarters he found two Of the rooms OF
the suite in a condition Of decadence.
and In marked contrast with the splendid
" decorated rooms that composed the
rest of the suite. He wanted these two
rooms particularly for his own purpose.
and ordered that they be at once fixed
up It was the supervising chief engi-
neer of the custom house who afterward
showed him the errors of his ways, and
intimated to him that he might have the
bill to pay himself, not having gone the
right way about 1t.
"I learn that have upset all the ira
ditions Of Office" the collector writes to
Mr. Newton, "in asking to have my per-
sonal suite decorated without first obtain
ing your consent. Alfred Brooks Fry,
the supervising chief engineer, Is fearful
that the bill will not be paid because 1t
was not regularly authorized.
Would Appreciate Leniency.
1.-THE rooms were in bad coidition, and
am anxious to have the work done
promptly. / told him that If the Treasury
Department would not approve the ex-
penditure would pay it myself. Under
the circumstances would appreciate it
If you would treat the matter as an
emergency and authorize payment"
Engineer Fry in another letter ex-
planned that the rooms had never been
decorated and were stained and defaced
and in marked contrast to the rest Of
the richly decorated suite. The bill Is $50.

CAMPAIGN FOR s15O,ODO
PLANNED BY HOSPITAL
Emergency Directors Will Seek to
Complete Needed $500, 900
Building Fund.

The board of directors Of the Emer-
sency Hospital announced yesterday aft
ernoon that campaign is to be made to
raise the remaining $4,000 Of the $780,
900 needed to erect the proposed new
hospital building on New York avenue
between 18th and 18th streets northwest.
About one-half of the three hundred-thou-
eand dollar fund has been contributed, and
the board believes that by the time the
new building is completed the remainder
will have been raised.
The contract to erect the new hospital
has been awarded to Wells Bros, con-
tractors, and work is to be started with
in the next three weeks. 1t will take
about ten months TO complete the build
ing, according to estimates which have
been made. Plans for the structure have
been prepared by Nathan c. wyeth,
architect.
Business Men to Aid
A number of prominent business men,
who took an active part in the money
raising campaign conducted last May by
the hospital, have volunteered to assist
the directors in raising the remainder of
the fund. At the time the twelve-day
campaign was held last spring number
VI peOpi6 VINO were not In a position TO
contribute to the fund at the time prom
1sed to give their assistance at later
date The directors also expect to get
liberal contributions from a number of
people of means who were abroad at the
time the campaign was held.
Several days ago the board in be-
half of the hospital, purchased the
residences at IVA and 1915 F street
northwest. which are to be utilized as
nurses home. The rear of the lots
on which the dwellings stand adjoins
the site for the new hospital on New
York avenue By this arrangement
the nurses home will be close to the
hospital and yet not connected with it.
Apparatus Available.
1t is stated that a large proportion
of the apparatus used in the present
Emergency Hospita! will be available
for use In the new building when COM
pleted. The hospital board always has
made it a point to keep the apparatus
up-to-date in every respect and a
large proportion of the equipment is
practically new. Among the devices
which will be used in the new hospital
is an expensive X-ray apparatus and
other appliances utilized in surgical
work.

There is very general sentiment
that war with Mexico is inevitable,
notwithstanding the efforts of the
United States to compose matters
without unnecessary aggression on the
part of the United States. 1t is alto
gether a matter of opinion. of course,
and we share the opinion, that war is
bound to come. There are those who
are very impatient with the Washing
ton administration because it does not
go ahead and strike without giving the
Mexicans further opportunity to pre-
pare. They argue that If we go in and
give the MeXicans a good licking in the
opening battle, that the moral effect
will be great enough to decrease the
amount of bloodshed that would other
wise follow. This, however, is hardly
true. Comparatively speaking the
United States is no better prepared
than she ought to be. OF course she is
too many for the MeXicans under any
circumstances; but people who think
that the MeXicanS are to be discounted
as fighters, or that the moral effect OF
an insignificant initiatory battle is go
ing to be very great, are mistaken
The greater the obstacles the Ameri
cans have to overcome in the begin
ming and the more easily those cbsta-
cles are overcome, the less difficult will
be the balance of the work. But nc
matter how easy it may be for the
Americans to overrun the country OF
how easily this preliminary task may
be accomplished, the big, hard work is
to come afterward. Mexico will have
to be re-organized and if this work is
to be accomplished it must be done by
the Americans: but it is a mistake tc
think that even the Americans will find
re- organization and pacification ar
easy task.

OF course there are a good many
thousand voters in the state who, even
if il he true, will not see it until the
second primary: but a great majority
of those who make more or less study
of politics, believe the race for govern
or will be between John L. McLaurin
and Richard l. Manning. Manning is
the candidate of the re-actiOnary ele-
ment Just as Jones was, and McLaurin
is the candidate of the element that
stands for a more liberal Democracy.
There are other good men in the race
for gOvernOr-as good as any in the
state. Without detracting in the least
from the character or reputation of
any of them, even by the order in
which their names appear, we want to
say that Messrs. Clinkscales, Cooper,
Richards and the two Smiths are all
men of experience and ability. Any of
them is as good as Manning or Nc
Laurin. We have never seen better
lineup of candidates, and we will say
that in our judgment as things stand
now, the election of any one Of the
last named, will have a greater ten
dency to eliminate factional lines than
the elimination of either of the first
named, and no matter who is elected
the state will have a good governor.

But factional lines are not going to be

But factional lines are not going to be
eliminated. The real players Of the
game are going to centre on McLaurin
and Manning and we believe that one
or the other Of them is going to be
elected. Neither the McLaurinites nor
the, Meaningless are interested as a
whole in either of the other candidates
even as second choice, for the simple
reason that they cannot foretell where
any Of them would stand as to the fac
tions or parties in the event of elec-
ton. We recognize that there are
hundreds Of people who cannot fully
appreciate the sense or logic Of this
outline of the situation, and we do not
expect them to; but we think that II
they will study the proceedings of the
recent county convention, where men
voted for other men for whom they
have little respect and in whom they
have but small confidence, they ought
to be able to have some appreciation Of
the powerful influence of party feeling
in such matters.

BAPTIST S. S. CONVENTION

The York Baptist Sunday School
convention closed its annual session
Wednesday afternoon, after one Of
the most profitable conventions since
its organization.
The first business Tuesday after
noon was the reading of letters and
hearing verbal reports from the va
rious Sunday schools. These showed
a decided Improvement in the schools
as whole and especially in increased
attendance, contributions for benevo-
lence, grading and organization along
prescribed lines.
This was followed by report on
the Home Department" work, an
address by Rev. S. P. Hair on the sub
ject and a round table discussion
conducted by Mr.. w A. McAfee,
superintendent Of the department.
Tuesday night, devotional exer-
cises were conducted by Rev. D. w.
Thomasson. This was followed by a
demonstration of Bible class teaching
by Prof. l.. Gunter, who used the
lesson for next Sunday in the demon
stration. Prof. Gunter handled his
SUBJECT Ill I. way llldl WtS Il6Hiy
pleasing and enlightening to his hear
erS.
The next number on the programme
was an address by Rev. o. J. Frier
of Winnsboro. who devoted his re-
marks to "Denominational Teaching
the Hope of Our Church" The
speaker made the point that any and
all denominations must teach their
respective denominational beliefs in
! order to grow. That failure to teach
denominational creeds would result
in the elimination of denominational
individuality.
Prof. Gunter then explained the
methods of grading Sunday schools
and the benefits to schools and indi-
vidual pupils by proper class grad
ing, and promotion from one class to
another.
Wednesday morning devotional ex-
ercises were conducted by Rev. F. 7.
Cox, and this was followed by ad-
dresses by Rev S. P. Hair on Grad
ed Sunday Schools" and by Rev. w.
]. Nelson on sunday School Equip
ment," and both addresses were
listened to with close attention and
interest. During the morning, Rev.
O.. ]. Frier delivered n lecture on

Systematically Arranged" using a
large chart. on which was drawn a

part, beginning with the roots and
upward to the trunk and j. branches,
and all marked so as to emphasize
the various points he wished to de-
monstrate Beginning with the roots.
he showed that the tree" sprung
from the Bible, the trunk represent
ing Christ and the various branches
the principles taught by Christ.
After a bountiful picnic dinner,
the closing session was devoted to the
reports on Teacher Training" the
delivery of diplomas and seals to seven
graduates who have completed the
prescribed courses Of normal study,
by Rev. s. P. Hair, superintendent OF
this department, an address by Rev.
]. II. Machen on the Importance of
the Teachers Normal Course to Sun
day Schools" and also an address by
Rev. r. T. Cox on "Organized Glasses"
and the usual routine of miscellane-
Gus business incident to closing
convention.
The next annual session is to be
held at Enon church, on Tuesday
after the first Sunday in May, 1915.

last Wednesday for the purpose OF
holding their regular monthly meeting.
Mr.. w. s. Wilkerson, supervisor or
Broad River township, reported that
acting as the representative OF Super
visor Boyd, he had conferred with the
Supervisor of Cherokee county in re-
gard to the establishment of ferry at
McCowan's ford, a few miles above the
York Cherokee bridge. The under
standing is that each county is to pay
half the cost and maintenance Of the
ferry, which II Is believed will be Of
great advantage to the people Of west
ern York The commissioners also de-
cided to let the contract for the erec-
ton of a new county home, on Thurs
day, May IA. A night watchman to
look after the present court house will
also be employed.
