NAY, nay, Hagar!" cried Godiva, in

The mother and daughter had al

The annual meeting of the United
States Brewers association was re-
Gently held in New Orleans. Com
menting on the printed report of that
meeting, Henry ]. Allen, in the Wich.
ita Beacon says:
We note that the deepest concern of
the annual meeting was, as usual, for
the taxpayer They made 1t perfectly
plain to everybody that so far as the
brewers themselves were concerned.
they didn't care anything for prohibi-
tion-they could, in fact, sell more
booze under prohibition than without
it-but they did not want the govern
ment to lose the revenue, they didn't
want the taxpayer burdened; they
just wanted everything to go on in a
free and easy and open way, with the
taxpayer as he is now in the states
where the saloons run the politics.
And above all, the brewers urged
moderation not in drinking, but in
the language with which the discus
sions against liquor are carried on.
They also desire to save the hop and
barley fields from being destroyed.
While prohibition increases beer sales
1t apparently ruins the hop and barley
crops.
One gem from the wisdom of this
convention is that beer may be sub
stituted for bread"
Frequently it is also substituted for
shoes and school books and clothes
and meat and house rent and furni-
ture. In fact, liberal use of it will
make it substitute for everything
except the grave.
Another piece Of philosophy gar
nered from the book of brewers wis
dom is that the only difference be-
tween bread and beer is that bread is
baked. while beer is boiled"
1t did not add, however, that the
.user of 1t is frequently stewed.

Gotshall lived alcne on the farm,
his wife, who is a manicurist, having
resided in Philadelphia for some time.
Last night Gotshall was awakened by
some one moving about in his room.
He saw a man standing near his bed
and before he could make a move the
intruder shot him with a revolver, one
bullet penetrating a lung. The assail-
ant escaped and neighbors, attracted
by the shooting, gave chase but the
stranger escaped. The police of all
the nearby towns were notified to keep
a lookout.
Reese, who was arrested early to-
day, lives a short distance from where
Mrs. Gotshall resides in this city.
Reese told the police he was at his
home all night and they are inclined
to believe him.
The Quakertown authorities are also
running down clues that the shoot
ing may have been the result of an at
tempt to rob Gotshall's house.

FEARFUL RATE OF MORTALITY
One Missionary Said to Have

to Burials
FEARFUL RATE OF MORTALITY
By associated Press

New York, April "a fearful rate
of mortality" among the 10000 refu-
gees crowded into the yards of the
American mission at Urumiah where,
il is said 5000 persons could scarcely
find accommodations, is reported I'm a
communication received here to-day
through the State Department at
Washington by the Presbyterian
Board of Foreign Missions. So great
was the menace, it is said in the conf
munication that for a while il was
unsafe for any one to leave the prem
ises and consequently the bodies of
the dead could not be buried. Later.
when the way was opened, the COM
munication declares, one missionary
was kept busy attending to the burial
of the dead. At times on an aver
age OF forty refugees died every day.
The communication, which is a copy
of one sent to F. W. Smith, American
consul at Tinis, Persia, by the Rev.
Robert NJ. Labarree of Urumiah. de-
scribed in detail the fight of Chris
tians not only from Urumiah, but
from all ASerbijan province after the
withdrawal of the Russian troops and
then continued in part as follows:
"Of the thousands who were forced
TO remain behind, their villages being
so situated that fight was impossible,
only the future can give us a roll of
those murdered in cold blood and
with cruel tortures by the Kurds; of
the women and girls carried off and of
the children lost and the families suf-
fered in the time of this terrible ca
tastrophe. All who could, fed to the
city and found the one shelter that
gave them the best hope of safety"
The communication points out that
all these refugees have to be fed; three
tons OF bread daily being needed to
keep them from starvation.
We cannot turn these people out
to starve later as we could not turn
them out TO be slaughtered" the
communication continues. Mr.. La
barree asks that the Red Cross Society
be Informed of the plight of the Chris
tians in Urumiah. He has asked the
Board of Foreign Missions TO furnish
the mission with $4,000 for its i'm
mediate needs.
