SEES CRISIS FOR NATION.
Evangelist Raymond Quotes Judge
Gary in Support of Prophecy.

That this country Is now facing a crisis
in its political. industrial, social and
religious lives was the assertion made by
Evangelist George b. Raymond of New
York at the meeting of the Washington
Temple Congregation tnon-sectarian) in
New Masonic Temple yesterday after
noon, when he spoke on THE Worlds
Crisis"
Referring to the industrial side of the
question, the evangelist quoted Judge E.
II. Gary. head of the steel trust, at the
recent dinner of the Lehigh Club in New
York. when it is reported he said that
the men Of wealth in the country must
understand that crisis is at hand, and
if they do not realize it quickly the
mob will aid them.
When such a man as Judge Gary
makes such statement said the
evangelist, Il sit up and take notice,
and 1 want it understood at the same
time that ] am not a calamity bowler"
In many parts of the country ministers
are denying certain essential parts Of
the Bible, Mr.. Raymond continued which
indicate a crisis in the religious life of
the day. Speaking of the Social life, he
said that never in the history of the
world were there SO many "elcpements'
and other disregarding of the sacredness
of the marriage tie as today.

HAS new TAXATION PLAN
FOR NATIONAL CAPITAL
Representative Bailey Introduces
Bill Embodying Features
Novel to District.

An assessment and taxation plan,
which is nearer to a single tax idea
than anything vet introduced in the
way of District of Columbia legisla-
ton. is embodied in the bill of Rep
resentative Warren Worth Bailey of
Pennsylvania. dropped in the hopper
at the Speakers desk today and re-
ferred to the District committee of the
House. Representative Bailey had
planned to introduce the bill at a later
date, but in view of the present agita-
tion in the District committee to
change the taxation system here, he
believed it would be better to get the
bill on record and possibly push it as
an amendment to the George bill later
when the House is discussing that
measure.
The principal feature of the Bailey
bill is that it directs the assessors to
take off > per cent year from i'm
provements on real estate for deprecia
ton. and also further reduction of
10 per cent a year for a period of five
years in the total assessment against
improvements, so that at the end of
five years improvements shall be as
sessed in no case at more than so per
cent of the value
The bill eXemptS personal property
from taxation. wherein it is directly
opposed to the slim majority of the
House District committee which wants
to tax everything in sight in the Dis
trict However, the Bailey bill would
tax franchises, by considering them in
the light of land values. to be taxed
the same as other land.
Representative Bailey's bill is based
on features of the system in vogue in
Pittsburgh and also on some of tho
features of the Houston, Tex. plan.

Big CROWD WITNESSES
AVENUE ILLUMINATION
New Lighting System Is Tested
While $4,000 Persons
Look On.
BUSINESS BOOM Is PREDICTED

LET there be light. and there was
light"
From thousands of voices came the
exclamation, There they CO." anu
within the next second 1&s lamps OF ! 800
candlepower each brilliantly illuminated
Pennsylvania avenue from the Union
Station to Fifteenth street. This hap
pened at 7:5e o'clock sharp last night.
In all, il is estimated that 5000 persons
turned out to witness this first step In
.he movement to make Washington the
best illuminated Capital in the world.
An enormous crowd stood near the
Treasury Building and looked down the
avenue when the old lamps were turned
out and the new lighting system was
put into effect at signal by District
Electrical Engineer Walter c. Allen.
That the new lighting system marEs
the beginning of a new era in Washing
tons history was the opinion expressed
by Isaac Cans. Mr.. Cans, who is prom
inently affiliated with big commercial or
ganizations in this city, two years ago
gave tho first impetus to the movement
for better lights and ever since has
been pushing tn. plan actively.
THE new lights are a great acquisition
to Washington, not only from an artistic
standpoint, but also from the COMMERCIAL
standpoint" said Mr.. Cans. "A great
boom in business for the houses on Penn
sylvania avenue soon will result. and
there is no doubt that real estate values
will be effected Eavorably."

"SPOILS" MEASURE
OFFERED BY MR.. MOON
Bill Calling for Examination in Case
of Assistant Postmasters
Is Offered.

Another attempt to throw 2t0o st
masters jobs to the hungry spoilsmen
of the Democracy was made yesterday
by Chairman Moon. of the House Post
Office Committee. who introduced a bill
to take the protection Of the classified
service from these positions. Chairman
Moon was prevented by President Will
son from making this proposition a part
Of the Postoffice appropriation act.
The Moon bill calls for examinations
to fill the vacancies caused by the pos
sible removal of 400 assistant post
masters now under the civil service.
However, it does not provide that the
appointees shall be continued in office
during good behavior. II Congress en-
acts the measure, all present assistant
postmssters would be threatened with
loss of position, examinations would be
held within ninety days, and IL Repub-
licans should be successful in any cases
the proposed law would allow the Dem
ocratic postmaster TO drop his assistant
in favor of a Democrat.
Representative Moon also asked for an
appropriation of 10000 for building steel
mail cars in experimenting in govern
ment ownership of all mail cars.
