Open Meeting Of the
FRIDAY Musicale


A most delightful open meeting of
the Friday Musicale was given Fri
day afternoon. The Studio was we'll
filed with visitors who evidenced
their appreciation by most enthusi-
astic applause. Dragon Flies by
Nargiel was the opening chorus. Too
much praise cannot be given to Mrs.
Fletcher for the excellent training
she gives the singers individually
and collectively. The next number
was a piano solo by Mrs. Peter
mann. In a manner most artistic
and dainty, she played Grieg's eX-
GLisite moroccan, To Spring.
A rare and unexpected treat was
in store for all present when Mr. :.
Joe Moseman of Illinois was intro
duced and sang with magnificent
hasso voice, To You, by Foote.
Miss Mary Grigsby anu Mrs. Rod
.eis then sang a lovely duet, Over
the Waters, after which Mr.. Nose
man again favored the audience
with three splendid numbers, lie
Bandelero, Ashes of Roses, by Mary
knight Wood, and Requiem by Sid
ney Homer.
Mrs. Fletcher and Mrs. Drane
played very brilliantly Paul Wach' s
La Capricante.
The announcement of a vocal solo
by Miss Vera McRae brought a burst

tive feature was recitation by Miss
Prunnell, a distin guished impersona-
tor of child life. The day closed

which crowded the building to its
capacity. Mr.. Ley spoke for 10 or

larity as singer.
Very sweetly and with much pa
thos she sang Sleep on, Dear Heart.

WANTS TO PRESERVE PEACE
The President Favored the Sale Be-

Washington, d. C.-~With the Turk
ish government formally protesting
against the proposed sale Of the
American battleships Mississippi and
Idaho to Greece, rumblings of war be
tween Greece and Turkey were carried
Monday to the White House. The
diplomatic representatives Of the two
countries called on President Wilson
within a few minutes Of each other,
one to urge and the other to oppose
the warship deal Greece takes the
position that if she buys the vessels
the balance of power in the Mediter-
raneap will be preserved and peace
maintained, while Turkey, claims that
peace can best be guaranteed by the
refusal Of the United States to aid in
augmenting her rivals naval force.
President Wilson told callers that
he favored the sale Of the battleships
to Greece, because it had been repre-
scented to him that such action would
be In the interest of peace. He said
that If he thought the vessels would
be used in an immediate war he would
not consent to their sale.

The explosion. which occurred about

miles around, lifted the roofs from
many miners cabins and demolished
numerous small buildings A moment
after the explosion score of panic
stricken surface workers rushed from
the mine, followed by a dense cloud
of smoke and poisonous fumes.
Appeals for help were dispatched to
many towns and in the meantime resi-
dents organized an emergency crew
and began the work of rescue
When the first rescue crew arrived a
large force of men set about to clear
the shaft, working desperately as the
means of the entombed men came fee
bly, from the mine. The means became
fainter and finally ceased. Thousands
of tons of rock have fallen into the
mine, and it is feared that the men,
even had they escaped death from the
poisonous fumes, probably were crush
ed to death by the falling debris
No information as to what caused

TWO CENTURIES old
Cold Spring Church at Cape May
Has Long History.
Congregation First Formed BY Presby
terians in Lower New Jersey Many
Stirring Events circled About An
Client House Of Worship.

Cape May.-The Cold Spring Pres
byterian church will observe the two
hundredth anniversary Of its found
Ing with appropriate ceremonies dur.
ing July. A rally week is to be
held, when an endowment Of $4,000
will be completed and the organiza-
ton placed upon a secure basis for
its maintenance. The historical adj
dress is to be delivered by Charles
H. Edmunds of Philadelphia, whose
toreparents lie in its graveyard, where
the dead Of Cape May for two CEN
turtles are buried.
When the whalemen Of New Eng
land migrated to Cape May in the
latter part Of the seventeenth cen
fury, the spirit OF Presbyterianism;
as spread by the preaching Of Jona-
than Edwards, was brought with them,
and the community about Town Bank,
then called Portsmouth, but now
washed by the waters Of Delaware
bay, was formed. Later these people
moved inland to Cold Spring neigh
borhood, and began agricultural pur-
suits.
In 1705 the first Presbytery organ
lied In America was in Philadelphia,
and under this Presbytery the Cold
Spring, or Cape May, church was In
stituted In 1T14, being the second de-
nomination to start a meeting house
in the county. Two years previously
the Baptists had started the church
at Middletown, now Cape May Court
House. In 1920 the Quakers started
their cedar Westinghouse at Sea-
vile. in the upper precinct Of Cape
May, giving to each precinct house
Of worship. The three original town
ships Of the county thus retain their
names Of upper, middle and lower,
and it is in the lower one that the
Cold Spring fishing and agricultural
community was founded and it has
been a community which has brought
forth many Of the leading men of the
country. AS with all ancient churches,
the graveyard was made and began
to be filed. so that the descendants
of those buried there spread all over
this broad land. The first minister
of the church was Rev. John Bradner,
who continued with it for seven years.
The first church was small log
building, and was not really finished

REVIVE HOPE
FOR SUCCESS
The Mediation Conference TO
Continue.
VILLA REVOLT AS AN AID
Or; Naon Predicts Negotiations VIII
BE Continued Two Weeks-The
Friction Between carranza
and Villa.
VILLA REVOLT AS AN AID

Niagara Falls, Ont-Instead of ad-
journing abruptly Saturday as had
been expected, the mediation proceed
ings will be prolonged for another
week.
The change was brought about as
q result Of the visit of Minister Naon,
of Argentina, to Washington, where he
conferred with President Wilson and
Secretary Bryan, DR.. Naon brought
back spirit of optimism and some
new ideas which he impaired to Am
bassador da Cana of Brazil and Minis
ter Suarez of Chile.
The determination which seems to
have been reached is to keep the
mediation board from formal adjourn
ment, though there may be recess in
another week or SO, while the search
is continued for persons eligible for
provisional president, according to the
ideas set forth in the conferences.
Although no definite plan has been
framed by the mediators and the
American and Huerta delegates were
unaware of the program except in a
general way, all parties expressed a
wish to prolong the negotiations and
make renewed efforts to effect com
promise.
The Rebel Friction.
There is every reason to believe
that the friction between Carranza
and Villa and the report that General
Huerta intended to retire in favor of
Pedro Lascurain before the proceed
ings reached a conclusion affected the
mediators il their decision The pos
sibility Of developments on Mexican
soil in the immediate future, which
might change the entire aspect of the.
problem here, has been taken into con-s
sideration by the three South Ameri-
can diplomats. m
The suggestion that the mediators
waive for the time being the question
Of personnel and make an effort to
agree on all the other parts of the
peace program is much in favor After
1t is complete the discussion would
revert to the names for the provisional
presidency. If no agreement were
reached all members of the mediation
colony would delight in short recess
while the search for names was con-
tinued by the American and Mexican
delegates and the mediators attended
to their private business

NAN DEVOURED
BY FIVE LIONS
Body Torn to Shreds by the
Snarling Beasts.
HAD GONE IN TO FEED THEM
=. D. Dietrich, Aged rs, OF Brooklyn,
N. Y, the victim-Tra0edy
Happens In the Heart
Of Chicago.

Chicago. Emerson d. Dietrich, aged
26, graduate of Cornell University,
whose home was at SAP Bay Park,
Brooklyn, was torn to shreds and prac-
tically eaten alive by i've or six lions,
whose cage he had entered for the pur-
pose of feeding them.
There were 10 lions in the freight
car. located on sidetrack at Sixteenth
street and Indiana avenue, in the heart
of the city, During the excitement
thousands Of people returning from a
days outing were thrown into con-
dition of panic by information that
some of the lions had escaped and
were being pursued by rife squads
from all the nearby police stations and
the Union Stock Yards.
Notwithstanding the peril, Immense
crowds surrounded the scene of the
tragedy until driven to safety by the
police, who had been hastily sum
moned from every direction.
Lion Cubs Escape.
While Dietrich was making his brief
and losing fight for life in the teeth
and claws of the ferocious beasts, five
lion cubs, each about the size Of a
young bear or wolf hound, leaped from
the car and tried to slip away. George
McCord, keeper of the animals, realiz-
ing the peril to the crowds on every
side, devoted all his energy to rounding
them UP and returning them to the car,
which was accomplished without any
tragedy
The ten lions are the property Of
Nine. Adzie Castillo, who is to open an
engagement in local theater in July.
Dietrich, who has been living at the
Morrison Hotel and who was connect
ed with the show, went to the car in
which the animals had been brought to
Chicago to feed them. This was short
" before 5 o'clock. Keeper McCord,
who witnessed the tragedy, said:
Story OF Keeper.
Dietrich went into the den where
the six big lions are kept and / fol-
lowed him. Teddy the leader in the
aLtacK upon DleLrlcn, started 10 play
with him and he ordered the beast to
lie down. Four of the lions were
facing him at the time, including
Teddy. Almost Immediately Teddy
skunk around behind Dietrich and in a
second was on his back, tearing and
clawing him frightfully The others,
Brutus, Nellie, JEFF and Mutt then
Joined in and what followed was awful,
awful"
It required an hours time and con-
slant battling with the lions to re-
cover the remnants Of Dietrichis body.
Great quantities of formaldehyde were
shot into the cage, and the lions were
gradually forced into corner. A
leather belt was the only article Of
clothing left upon the remains. Even
the shoes were torn off.

RAILROADS NOT LIABLE.
Passengers Injured While Riding On
Passes Cannot Sue.

Washington, d. C.-Railroads are
not liable for injury to interstate en-
ployes or members of their families
riding on passes which contain stipu-
lations that the passenger assumes all
risks while being so transported. The
Supreme Court so decided, and held
that a pass is not to be regarded as
part of the compensation for which
the employee works, but it in reality
free and subject to any conditions the
railroad may impose.
