Surrendering charters appears tl
be the popular thing with Arkansas
cotton Gil companies Just now. Far
be it from us to suggest an; ~onnec-
ton between the dissolution of sew
eral concerns, the filing Of antitrust
suits by the attorney general and the
recent declaration of the supreme
court that a company convicted OF
violating the law cannot be penclized
if it is dissolved at the time of tho
conviction. We say far be it from
us to suggest any connection between
these incidents, but it is unusual, to
say the least.

.BlSBEE WOMAN is
SAFE AFTER GOING
THROUGH GULF STORM
Mrs. J. l.. Fisher, Of Bisbee, Has
Terrible Experience on Steam
ship ArapahOe, Between Gal
weston and New York.

The friends of Mrs. j. L. Fisher.
wife Of the we'll known employee of
the Phelps-Dodge Mercantile compa-
ny, will be pleased to hear that the
Bisbee woman escaped what might
have been very watery grave and
has been heard from i'm New York.
She left Bisbee bound for the East
At Galveston she took the steamer
Arapahoe. Of the Clyde line, taking
the ocean route to New York. When
out but few days the terrific hurrl-
cane, that swept South Texas and the
Gulf, struck.
The New York Times account of
the battle with the waves follows:
After weathering a hurricane in
the Gulf that almost sent her to the
bottom. the Clyde Line steamship
Arapahoe. temporarily switched to the
service Of the Mallory Line, came into
port yesterday from Galveston with
much evidence of the drubbing she
had received in the journey north.
"She had sixty passengers, and
Wien lNtN NdiNt oNibi v many Wv
clared that they had never expected
to set foot on land again
According To- these weary coast
wise travellers it was nothing short of
Providential protection and the good
seamanship of Captain William r.
Davidson that the vessel managed to
work her way through a storm that
carried her entire after house away
and flooded her staterooms and dining
saloon waist deep. Furniture was
overturned. bedding and baggage
soaked and the frightened passengers
and to seek the higher part of the
vessel amidships to avoid the terrific
combers.
Some of the passengers declared
that the Arapahoe dropped at times
between such huge mountains of wa
ter that they thought she would never
come up, but the vessel was handled
so shlfully that she always arose
without mishap.
Many women were panic-stricken
and some of the men would have been
in the same plight had il not been for
the GOODNESS eft Captain Davidson and
bis officers, who appeared to take the
storm as a matter Of course and as
sured the frightened ones that there
was no danger"

Commercial Club Committee Re-

gently Needed.

Thus far the responses TO the re-
quest of the Commercial Club com
mittee for the listing of rooms for Wis
itors to the Southwestern Mine Safety
Association meeting have not been all
that could be desired Accommodations
for 30 have been offered and this will
not begin TO meet the needs. More
are asked to volunteer.
While Il is known that hotels and
booming houses are generally well
filled at this time, the committee that
will look after the assigning of rooms
to visitors next Sunday evening and
Monday morning has believed and still
families who have rooms that they
could rent for two or three nights. Il
Is these householders that they have
sought to reach. In making assign
ments when the visitors arrive. con-
venience of location will be one of
the first considerations and the wish
es of the visitors will be consulted
Beyond these two matters no discrimi
nation win be shown. Undoubtedly
some Of the contestants win want TO
room at Warren near where the con
tests viii be held and thus far there
are offers Of rooms from the city
Beautiful for only four people Four
are wanted up Tombstone Canyon
and the remaining listings are from
down town rooming houses.
At the Commercial Club office, the
secretary was in a receptive mood for
listings He was not discouraged for
the whole of the week remains and he
and the committee are confident that
in that time people viii waken to the
need of housing the visitors and re
sponses win be more frequent as the

MISSIONARIES PRAY
FOR PEACE WITH JAPS
Daily Routine of American Mis-
SiOnary Societies in Japan
Include Peace Prayers.

KARUIZAWA, Japan, Aug 30
Prayers for the restoration of peace
Torm the principal feature of almost
daily services held here by American
missionary bodies 10 is the keynote
of the summer schools and confer
ences. At the same time the mission
airy organizations are studying the
means of furthering their evangelistic
wor in Japan and throughout the
whole Orient
The Rev. d. s. Spencer, Of Nagoya,
who delivered an address this week
before the Pan-Methodist Conference,
urged the missionaries to reach the
rural districts The rural class, he
said. represent 75 per cent of the total
population Of Japan
This specialized work could not be
done by the old methods he said, nor
by workers who did not understand
the special field in which they were
placed In order to accomplish its
duty in Japan, the Methodist Mission
instead of a total of $50 workers of all
grades, should have 200 ordained men.
220 single women, II, 900 Japanese
evangelists and 44O Bible women, he
said
The Methodist missionaries, DR..
| Spencer explained, were about 20 per
cent of the total missionary force in
the empire. Figuring the population
at $4,000 900, the Methodists might be
/ said to be under obligation to evan
gelize at least 100000 souls. As a
matter of fact, the total membership
of the Japan Methodist Church in
1915 in 1871 and this represented
forty years Of effort. He added:
"Now I do not suggest that these
small numbers mean failure. But
there is another side to the problem.
( When we began our work the Japan
! csc people numbered 100000 Our
/ Methodist task has therefore grown
| from seven to eleven millions. To say
nothing Of the original $4,000, 00O-we
have never gotten within wireless dis
lance Of the increased population and
without some fundamental change for
the better we viii never get there"
The way out Of the difficulty, in his
opinion, was to reach the rural com
munities and to fit the methods to the
class to be evangelical. THE mission
airy must be practically helpful Com
munity interests must be started, as
local circumstances permit perhaps
beginning with a kindergarten, or 9th
er educational measure; or seeds may
be brought in for the farmers, new
kinds of fruit introduced, better water
supply or sewers put in and friendly
attitude of helpfulness shown that will
bear fruit all down the years"

the Commercial Club has received

from Quaker City August "a and was

The communication from Charles
Seger, chairman of the Liberty Bell

been referred to the Itinerary Com
mittee which was 10 meet yesterday,
for the purposes OF considering the
homeward routing He further states
that after such meeting he will inform

as may be reached
The article in the Sunday Review
that southwesterly rates We're too high
to warrant a shipment through this
section of the country, in the opinion
of the itinerary committee, was a sur
prise to the Commercial Club direct
ors as they have had assurances from
representatives of the Southern Pa
cihc, Southern and Rock Island that
these roads would put forth every en-
deavor to secure the haulingof the
