ROBERT M'INTYRE.

vi Nv L NJ
The Right Rev. Robert Mcintyre,
Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal
Church in Oklahoma, died yesterday IN
Wesley Hospital, Chicago.
Robert Mcintyre, son of Charles and
Elizabeth anderson Mcintyre, was
born at Selkirk, Scotland, on November
%, 1851, and was brought to this coun-
try by his parents at the age of seven
years. He was prepared for college in
the public schools of Philadelphia,
where his family settled, and then went
to Vanderbilt University, in Tennessee,
where he was graduated in 1877. That
fall he was married to Miss Ella Chat
ten, of Quincy, H., and the next spring
he was ordained a minister of the
Methodist Episcopal Church at a con-
ference held at Jacksonville, III.
He was the pastor of churches sue
cessively at Easton, Marshall, Charles
ton, Urbana, Chicago, Denver and Los
Angeles. and amply earned the reputa-
tion of being one of the most scholarly,
eloquent and effective pulpit orators in
his Church. At the General Conference
of 1908 he was elected a bishop, and
since that time made his home 1T Okla
homa City, Okla. He received the de-
gree of D. d. from the University Of

LIBEL BRITISH VESSEL
German Sailors Seek Pay and
Their Discharge.

BECAUSE the masters of two British
merchantmen now in port have re-
fused to pay off three German soldiers
who arc army reservists, the Lega! Ala
Society has taken up the cases of the
Germans, and what promises to be an
interesting question of international
law will come up in the courts, unless
some settlement is reached.
August I.orenZ, chief steward on
hoard the Mattoppo, now lying at 26d
ST. Brooklyn, alleged to Silas b. AK
tell, Of the Legal Aid Society, that he
has $50 due him, and wants his dis
charge, especially, as the officers, he
saws, have threatened him. Mr.. AXtell
said Yesterday that he had taken up the
matter with the ships master, the own
crs and the British Consul, but all re-
fused redress, so he had libelled the
ship.
Otto Horn and Karl Frauendorf, who
signed on the Houston liner Horatius
in Antwerp August, 1913, also ask for
discharges. They say that they each
have 5000 due them on their monthly
wages of sos, and that as the crew
are mostly Britons, Russians, Danes
and Swedes, and they the only Germans
on board, they get on badly.

CARRANZA SHUTS
VERA CRUZ PORT
Merely a Question of Duties and
Imports, Says Secretary
BRYAN.

Washington, Aug. 81 Provisional
President Carranza has ordered the
port of Vera Cruz closed, according 10
official advices to-day to the American
government. General Funston trans
mitted long report on the complica-
tions which might result, but state De
uartment officials were not inclined 10
regard it as an unfriendly action.
Carranzas decree would prevent Mex
lean ships from putting in at Vera
Cruz. and if enforced in an unfrlendly
way might exact heavy penalties from
foreign vessels entering any. other
Mexican port after they touched at
Vera Cruz. General Funston called at
tention to the possibility that foreign
shin owners desiring not to incur Inc
displeasure of the Carranzs admins
tration might hesitate to send calrgoes
to Vera Cruz, diminishing the food sup
ply of the city.
Paul Fuller, personal representative
Of President Wilson, is due in Mexico
Citv tomorrow to discuss with the
government there questions relating 10
the American occupancy OF Vera Cruz'
as we'll as differences between Carranza
and Villa. Secretary Bryan says, Car
ranza's action at Vera Cruz merely IN
voIves a question Or duties on imports
which Carranza hopes will be entered
hereafter at other ports.

MRS. NJ. n. VAN COLT.

The death of Mrs. Margaret Newton
Van Colt, which occurred on Sundayat
her home, at Catskill, n. Y, removes
one who a generation or more ago was
one of the most conspicuous figures in
the evangelical work Of the Methodist
Episcopal Church in this country. She
was born nearly eighty-five years ago,
and in early womanhood was left a
widow Thereupon she devoted the re-
mainder of her life to evangelical or
"revivalist" work.
That was at time when not only
were women debarred, as at present,
from the ministry of the Methodist
Church, but also even as exhorters they
were looked upon with much disfavor.
But Mrs. Van Colt, by her singular elo-
ouence and exaltation of spirit, COM
PEELED favorable attention and won
general recognition as one of the fore
most "revivalists" of the country. At
her fiftieth birthday anniversary she
was said to have conducted and ad-
dressed nearly ten thousand religious
meetings.

FILL "V0TES" WAR CHEST
Congressional Union Expects
Atlantic City to Add to It.

Atlantic City is expected to add
$4,000 to the $4,000 which the Con-
gressional Union raised at Newport
Saturday and Sunday, when the ad-
vistory council met there.
1t is literally a war chest, for while
the proceedings at the Newport con-
ference are kept secret, it is generally
conceded that Miss Alice Pauls organ!-
cation is going cunning for delinquent
Democrats. Mrs. Jessie Hardy Stubs,
press chairman, said yesterday that
the present critical conditions due to
the European war would not make the
slightest difference in the unions plans,
To hold the party in power responsible
for failure to enfranchise women was
their policy, she said, and it would not
be dropped because the party was at a
difficult place in national affairs.
At the Atlantic City meeting Sunday
the principal speaker will be Senator
Clapp, of Minnesota. Miss Doris Stew
ems, executive secretary of the union,
will assist.
