choice Of the highway commissioners
for the position. 81 had expected that
Beeson, Gem or some of the other in.
fIuentiaI men would get it because OF
their pull"
1t was learned today, however, that
each of the commissioners had chOs-
en- a man for the highway plum.
Sieweke, a dark horse, was finally
compromised on.
Sieweke, who was a candidate for
assistant street commissioner, had de-
cided to withdraw his name from the
list of candidates and was not re-
garded as an active candidate.
Believe Man Competent.
In announcing the appointment, the
commissioners said they believed a
thoroughly competent man had been
named
He is a young man and has spent
his entire life in Wayne county. He
was engaged in farming until two
years ago. His farm was three miles
north of Richmond on the Chester
pike.
Sieweke was appointed assistant
supervisor of the Chester pike seven
years ago under Abner Bulla and held
the position actively for five years.
Two years ago, he disposed of his
farming interests and came to Rich
mond. Since that time he has been
engaged as a teamster in the city
street department for Commissioner
d. G. Gem.
The commissioners will provide an
office for him in the court house. They
decided to tear out partitions on the
third floor and rebuild part of the
southwest corner in order to provide
suitable office rooms.

was the caustic reply of Evange-

That st. Johns Lutheran

on principles that would cause a

les made by the evangelist. Ac-
cording to the figures shown by
the church, Rev. Honeywell said
he alone, a poor man with a
thousand dollar mortgage on his
home, had given more for benev-
olences than the whole congre-
cation of that church.
He challenged a comparison
of his record showing 5000 con-
versions in eight months against
the seventeen confirmations and
eighteen deaths, which he al
legged were in the St. Johns Lu-
theran church last year. SPEND
ing $500 last year, he pointed

Blanes Pulpits and Pews.
The evangelist's sermon dealt
with the weaknesses of the
church in which he charged
that the pulpits and pews were
both to blame for the inefficien-
cy of the church. The pulpits do
not preach the gospel and the
pews do not want the spiritual
preaching-do not want soul
saving work, he said.
The sympathy of a large part
of the two thousand persons in
the audience was with the speak
er when he departed from his
message long enough to chas-
tise the Lutheran minister who
opposed the revival.
There is an element in the church
today who are strongly opposed to any
special work of revival. In politics and
in business life they consider revival :,
necessary: efforts very essential"
said Honeywell leading up TO his re-
ply.

The Rev A J. Feeger, Of st. Johns
church, in replying to the attack of
Evangelist Honeywell last night, has
submitted the following letter, which
the Reverend Father Roell of ST. An
drew's German Catholic church. wrote
him following sermon opposing re-
vivalism as a method of extending the
church. The Reverend Father Roell
graciously informed the Rev. Mr..
Feeger that he could gladly incorpor-
ate the letter in a statement issued to-
day in reply to Mr.. Honeywell. The
Rev A. J. Feeger and the Reverend
Father Roell are pastors Of two of the
largest churches in Wayne county.
The text OF the letter follows:

CROWDS BATTLE TO
ENTER FORD PLANT

DETROIT, Jan. AT 10 o'clock
today the mob in front of the
Ford automobile plant had reach
ed greater proportions than on
Tuesday and the police were
battling desperately to maintain
order, fearing that many would be
crushed if the crowd got beyond
control. Scores Of women were
among the jobiess feature which
did not mark the assembling OF
the unemployed Tuesday. There
were more than 10000 in the
crowd.
A concerted attack by flying
wedge Of thirty patrolmen drove
the bulk Of the mob from the inn
mediate vicinity of the employ
nent bureau. but shortly before
noon they still held the plant in
siege and it was a hopeless propo-
sitIon on the part of the officials
and the police to convince them
that there would be no work until
better order prevails. Many
brought stools and camped out,
eating their noon meals from
dinner buckets.

st. Johns is Alive.
Il would regard st. Johns as dead,
not buried yet" says Mr.. Honeywell.
st. Johns is the liveliest church in
Richmond, its constituency is Chris
tian to the core, and through seventy
years the parents and children have
remained in that live church, despite
dismissals to other Lutheran churches
OF this city on account of the Ian
guage question, and even If Mr.. Hon
eywell believes st. John is a corpse,
It is not so dead that it believes that

If Mr.. Honeywell wants to see a real
live evangelical church, whose mem
bers flock to church every Sunday, let
him attend my service next Sunday
morning, hear the gospel message |
proclaim, and see hundreds of devout
German men, women and children
worshipping God.
Points To Attendance.
IF church attendance is a criterion
of life, ST. Johns German church leads
the Protestant churches of this city.
and members of the Ministerial Ali-
ance cannot gainsay it, while every
body admits it. ST Johns loyalty to
the gospel message is the amazement
of every person who has made a study
of Protestant church work in Rich
mond. Why does St. Johns succeed
Let Mr. Honeywell answer the chal-
lenee.

Johns dead and a poor business prop

HEARS HELL'S HARSH LAUGH

WHEN FEEGER FLAYS REVIVAL
Epangelistic
Pointers

That church had seventeen
confirmations and eighteen fu-
nerals last year. How long will
it take to save the world at that
rate?
There are $50 fallen girls
walking the streets of your city.
Why not turn the guns on the
dens of iniquity and haunts of
sin that are dragging them
down?

on this town. You eat too much,

You are celebrating the damna-

The church's purpose is to
save the world. l am willing to
accept any other mans method

Let the Pathfinder outside

realize things in a different

Any man with three or four suits

Inquiries today developed the fact
the local steamship agencies have re-

The call by Great Britain for the
