EIGHT JOIN CHURCH

Continuing the revival of member
bership which has been marked in the
Grace Methodist church during the
last few months, eight persons united
with the congregation yesterday.

enrolment has also shown a rapid

and Rifle and Two Big
Knives.

Formal opening Of the New Cos
bnopolitan Club" 724 North D street,
yesterday morning was not a gala oc-
casion. In fact, 1t proved to be a most
distressing event for those who par
ticipated in it.
A few hours after the "blow-off' a
large automobile with Richmond Po-
lice Department" inscribed upon it,
backed in front of the building and a
careless doorkeeper provided an en-
trance for three blue-clad visitors.

It was sufficient, however, to warn
The other club members and when the
police squad, composed of Officers
Nogels0.S Lawler and Wenger, reach
ed the Ntfond floor room there was no
evidence of gambling. There was,
however, sufficient booze to float a
battleship, so Brooks and his fourteen
associates were gathered in and trans
had to make three trips.
No charge was preferred against any
lmember of the Cosmopolitan club ex-
cept Brooks. He was charged with a
violation of the blind tiger law and

Mayor Robbins fined him 500 and

ment for sixty days in the county Jail.
Wenger Tackles Fugitive.
The only spectacular feature of the
carefully arranged raid was the at
tempt of Jesse Clapp to make his es-
cape while being escorted to the pO.
lice machine. Jesse bolted with the
speed OF a greyhound, but Officer
Wenger was hot on his heels, and after
o short sprint pulled off one of his
spectacular football dive tackles,
bringing his quarry to the pavement
with a reverberating grunt.
About three months ago the Cosmo.
politan club was raided and a large
collection of crap shooters gathered in
This broke up the club. A few days
ago Brooks decided to re-organize it.
He elected himself president, appoint

notified of the honor bestowed upon
them, and announced the grand open

Ready for Raiders.
Following the raid yesterday eight
cen dozen bottles Of beer, three quarts
of whiskey and two quarts OF gin were
found in the building. There were also
a loaded rifle and two large knives in
places where they could be convent
emily seized in the event the alarm to
repel invaders was sounded. No ef
fort was made to use these weapons
however, the club members being toe
thoroughly demoralized.
Brooks was arrested last Thursday
on a warrant sent from Dayton charg

patch up his domestic troubles and
then returned to Richmond.

WHEAT CROP HEAVY.

With q wheat crop of more than
10000 bushels that will be sold to the
local elevator, New Garden township
farmers are in a happy frame of mind
these days. More than $4,000 bushels
have been received here, and it is be-
heved that in two or three days farm
ers will have completed hauling grain
to the elevator. Seventy-three cents
was the prevailing price at the close
OF the week.
The amount of wheat received at
the ocal elevator is about the same as
last year. Oats have exceeded expect
ations. Two farmers report a yield of
between 81 and 30 bushels an acre,
while a third reports 49 bushels an
acre.

Mr.. Parker was impressed with the

affection, but they do not Seem to be
based upon fact. There is only one Sc
rious question at issue. This is the re-
peal of the provision exempting Ameri-
can coastwise vessels from paying tolls
through the Panama Canal The Pres
ident favors the repeal, while prominent
Democrats in both the Senate and the
House disagree with him. The Presi-
dent is very wisely refraining from
hasty action, believing that he can with
time and patience bring Congress to
coincide with his ideas. The probable
ity is that he will. The difference of
opinion expressed by the few does not
seem to affect the many. The great
mass of the Congressman are ready and
willing to follow the Presidents lead
ership. They believe that he has the
country behind him and that their SAT-
est plan, now that they are about to
seek reelection, is to be hand in glove
with the administration. The proba-
bility is, therefore, that the Presidents
control of Congress will continue for
some time to come.

Tie President and the Country.

There is foundation for the belief in
Congress that the President stands
well in the country.
He has shown definite purpose, sim
cerity, honesty, and deep-rooted con-
Germ for the welfare of the people.
These are qualities which appeal to the
popular mind. Up to the present time
there have been only two grounds of
criticism. The first is his treatment of
the Mexican situation. The President
may not know it, but there is consid-
cradle distaste for his policy of watch
full waiting. Congressman who have
been home on brief trips report that
there is an undertone of doubt nearly
everywhere as to the satisfactory out
come of the Presidents policy-or,
rather, his lack of policy. The fact
that rankles in the popular mind is,
according to these reports, that there
are murders of, and outrages upon,
American citizens, and that these, to-
gether with the seizure of American
property, are allowed to pass unheeded
by this government. In the West and
Southwest the President is said to be
regarded as unresourceful because he
has not found any solution to the Mex
lean problem. He has merely contented
himself with manifesting bitter hostil-
ity TO Huerta, who, by the way, is still
President of Mexico, without doing
anything to protect American lives and
property. Here in Washington, where
the complexity of the situation is fully
understood, the President is being given
credit for doing the best he can under
the circumstances, but out in the coun-
try he is being severely criticised for
doing nothing at all
1t is still too early to predict the eff
feet which the tariff legislation will
have upon the Presidents future. Some
little adverse comment is beginning to
appear. In Colorado. for instance, the
farmers who grow sugar beets have
already suffered a reduction in the price
paid for their products and are asking
the reason why. There are some lines
OF manufacture which have been affect
ed by foreign competition and farm
products are not bringing in as much
money as they did year ago. The be-
lief of the administration is, of course,
that these disturbances are merely mat
tiers of adjustment and that nothing
more serious is to happen. This, of
course, remains to be seen. The cost
of living has not been reduced and
some relief in this direction ought to
come soon if the administration is to
get any political benefit from its tariff
legislation.

Admiral chadwick's Warming.

When a man of Admiral Chadwick's ex-
perience in life and observation in many
countries utters a protest against the
present method of education of boys and
girls he is entitled to immediate atten-
ton. IF the statistics offered by the adj
miral are correct. and there Is no reason
to doubt them, two-thirds OF the teachers
in our public schools are women. Calm
reflection without bias would result in
agreement with his view that placing
boys under women's tutelage at their
most impressionable character-forming
age must do violence to their masculine
nature. Those to whom the education of
our children is intrusted would do well
to consider the admiral's proposition that
men teachers should be employed for boys
and women for the giris.-New York Sun.

The Clerks Opportunity.

Government clerks may take real
hope and encouragement from the re-
marks yesterday of Representative
Hannibal Lafayette Goodwin, of North
Carolina, chairman of the House Com
mittee on Reform in the Civil Service.
Mr.. Goodwin promises that his commit
tee will prepare a bill increasing sal
aries and providing an equitable con-
tributory pension system. There is
every indication that members OF this
committee, even those who have op-
posed the clerks just demands in the
past, are at last convinced of the i'm
perative necessity of relieving the actual
distress existing among the nations
civil employees who are working under
salary scale adopted to suit living
conditions twenty or thirty years ago.
There should be no delay in securing
the passage of such legislation, the JUS
tice of which has been made plain to
members of the committee, through the
testimony they have heard from the lips
of those struggling against the hard
ships imposed by inadequate incomes.
Conferences should be held with de-
partment officials and representatives OF
the clerks organization and an equita-
bic measure drafted in advocacy of
which all may unite. Concerted effort
now ought to win victory after years
of rebuffs and disappointments.
