PROTESTS METHODS
AT RECENT HEARING
Rev. DR.. C. Ernest Smith Compares
Spectacle" to Judicial Cor
ruption in Orient.

A protest against the methods of
Chairman Walsh of the industrial re-
lations commission in the recent ex-
animation of John D. Rockefeller. jr.,
was voiced by Rev. DIR. c. Ernest
Smith, rector Of St. Thomas p. F.
Church. in his sermon yesterday morn
ing DR. Smith did not mention the in
dustrial commission specifically, but
his auditors regarded the identity as
unmistakable. He compared that hear
ing with the one described in Acts. 4,
from which he took his text, saying,
in part, as follows:
Our attention in this case is CEN
tered first of all on the conduct of the
judges. This was a supreme court
trial But it is very evident that not
withstanding the dignity of the tribu-
nal the judges were far more anxious
TO secure a conviction than to arrive
at the truth. Happily we can't con-
ceive in our own Supreme Court even
of the possibility of such a spectacle.
That court is above suspicion.
This attitude of judicial incorrup-
ibility is an ideal of our race 1t is in
our blood to see that justice is done
In our courts. But to this oriental
lands present and always have pre-
Sented marked contrast.
Refers to Recent Hearing.
Alas, now and again we get a spec
tacle OF oriental methods among our
selves. notwithstanding our Supreme
Courts example to the contrary and
our own innate love OF Justice, and alb
horrence and contempt of all that
savors of injustice. There was recent
~ conducted in our midst a. judicial
inquiry which if correctly reported in
our daily press was the exact counter
part OF this court scene of Acts, A.
There was the same brow -hea ting and
reatening attitude; the same anxiety
to procure a conviction at all hazards and
cost. the same passion and prejudice
the same malice and hatred. 1t was not
indsed-and we may be thankful for il "a
scene in a regular court of justice 1t
was rather one of those quasjudicial in
vestlgations which are becoming painfully
monotonous. But still it was sufficiently
of the judicial character to warrant our
expectation that the methods employed
would also be judicial in character. But
alas, oriental methods We're painfully in
evidence as the case was conducted by
the chairman, not-let US be again thank
ful-without the strong disapproval of
mis- observation-disclosures. it is said.
Anything like this scene is a calamity
to be deplored by all right-thinkins per
sons eager to see the ideals of our race
prevail over the degenerate level of the
oriental judges. 1t may not be always
possible TO secure gentlemen for these
Quasi-judicial positions men who in
stinctively know how to conduct them
selves with credit to themselves and to
those responsible for their appointment
but it ought to be possible to secure
those only who are capable of judicial in
partiality. and who are manifestly more
interested in arriving at the truth than
they are interested in proving the correct
ness Of some preconceived ideas of their
own. As il is, we are treated to a sight
which reminds US that man dressed up
in little brief authority plays such high
pranks as makes high heaven weep

BERLIN. June 13. via London.-The
Sunday morning newspapers of Berlin
generally profess inability TO under
stand the motives prompting William
Jennings Bryan to retire from the post
of Secretary of State.
The Morgen Post says:
The former Secretary seems to have
less confidence than we in the honest
desire of the American government to
arrive at a peaceful compromise with
US. Mr.. Bryan is convinced that Presi-
dent Wilson and his government will
finally appeal to force We are not
now disposed to believe this. but will
await events"
The Boersen Zeitung says: "Bryan's
resignation has been interpreted as in
dicating that the note would be rather
blunt. which, however, in no wise Is
the case, The note shows. on the con-
trary. an outspoken tendency to reach
an understanding with Germany on the
issues involved If. therefore, Bryan
desires to be the representative of
peaceful efforts in opposition to the
Jingoistic tendency OF the American
government. we do not know on what
ground he will base his assertion"
The Boerzen Zeitung terms Mr..
Bryan's proclamation to the people even
harder to understand than his resig-
nation.

DANvILLE IN MIDST ann
OF GREAT REVIVAL

Danville, KY, Dec. 4.-Dr. w. j.
Ham. of Anchorage and Chorister,
w. ]. Ramsey, of Chattanooga, will
close a six weeks union revival in
this city next Sunday. All the lead
ing churches have closed their doors
during this meeting, which is being
held in large tabernacle with a
seating capacity of 1000. DR.. Hams
style of preaching is very much the
same as that of Billy Sunday. Stand
ing room is at a premium.
Bankers and merchants are dosing
their establishments for half hour
at noon each day to unite in prayer
meeting at the courthouse. Although
Danville has been noted for years
as a social center, and the scene of
many fashionable dances, it would
now be difficult to secure and at
tendance at dance on account of
the vigorous attacks that DR.. Ham
has made on dancing, card playing
and other similar forms of pastime.
The choir is composed of 400
voices, and to date 500 men and wo-
men have been converted and baptiz-
ed into the different churches. This
is the greatest meeting ever held in
the history of Danville, with the pos
sible, exception of the six months
revival held here generation ago,
by the late George o. Barnes. "

Lewis GETS
THE CERTIFICATE
HAMLETT LOSES ON EVE OF
INAUGURATION OF
STANLEY.
INJUNCTION DISSOLVED
by Judge Stout After O'Rear and
Hamilton Argue Fine
Points.

Frankfort, KY, Dec Con the
eve or ithe7induction into Office of the
newly elected governor, Judge
Stout today dissolved the injunction
suit, recently granted Barksdale Ham
lett. which has prevented the count
ing of certain recertifications in the
secretary of states race, and with
held from his Republican opponent
the certificate of election. The decis-
ion gives Lewis a majority of lis,
and allows the state board to give
him certificate of election.
The suit involved the recertifica-
tions from Christian. reducing Ham,
let's vote to 100; from McCcreary,
increasing Lewis by 101, and from
Shelby. correcting an illegal return,
by which 10 votes were added to
Lewis.
One precinct in Christian had been
enormously tabulated as 100 for Ham
lett instead of So, and the recount
was made by order of the Christian
circuit court. In adding the results
in McCreary one precinct with 101
votes had been omitted from Lewis
column. No court order preceded
the recertification either in McCreary
or Shelby, and Representative Ell
wood Hamilton, appearing for Supt.
Hamlett. insisted that after the
county hoard had canvassed and GER
titled the returns to the secretary of
state it should not be permitted to
make recertifications without the d.
rection of a court, lest two of them
get together and change the whole
result.
Judge E. C. O'Rear, for Lewis. in
favor of the motion to dissolve the
injunction, said that whatever the
election commissioners may be COM
PEELED to do by order of the court
they may do voluntarily, as the court
cannot compel them to do anything
excepting what it is their duty to do,
and one Of those duties is to correct
ly certify the result of the election.
In the Christian county case Mr.;
Hamilton said Superintendent Ham
lett was not a party to the case and
he had right to raise this question
in a suit. 81
y, Judge Do'Rear said, there is no
charge of fraud. but it is admitted
that every officer has done nothing
but his duty. The returns involved
have been passed upon by three BIZ
partisan commissions, bipartisan
state commission, a circuit court and
in one instance the court of appeals,
and all have acted unanimously.

Postal Service.
The post service estimate is de-
ductible from the total because its
receipts are turned back to the
Treasury. That leaves $969,492,929
as the actual total of the appropria-
lions Congress is asked to make. or
$167,, S53,401 more than last year.
Not a single establishment of the
government asked for less than was
given last year. Many requests were
made for increases because of devel-
opments of the war in Europe.
The State Department asked for
many increases including $4,000
for additional clerical force in the
department. $25,000 additional for
the salaries of charges de affairs, and
$4,000 for transportation and sub
sistence. and $500. 900 instead of the
$4,000 asked before to enable the
President to meet unforeseen emer-
gencies arising in the diplomatic and
consular service.
A large item in the Treasury De-
partment's increases is $2,200,00O
for collecting the income tax. an in
crease of $1,0O0,000 over last year,
which. among other things, will be
used to hire ass deputy collectors at
$1,000 per year compared with 1877
collectors in 1915. The same depart
ment wants $4,000 to enforce the
cotton futures act.
The Department of Commerce ask
ed from many increases for gathering
information at home and abroad on
commerce industry and manufacture.
Labor concilators, the Labor De-
partment says, will need $4,000
this year in place of $4,000. The
Children's Bureau asked $4,000
more than last. year.
The Department of Agriculture
asked for $2.5O0,O0O. the same as
last year, for eradication of foot and
mouth disease; s47,750 to enforce
the cotton futures act. and l10,260
to enforce the insecticide act.
