night at which A. l.. Blakeslee. president
Of the club, was authorized to appoint a
committee to investigate the propo-
sition and report on its feasibility
There are about fifteen organizations

A hall having a seating capacity of
200 or 500 people would be an essen

large building is erected a large por-
tion of it could be devoted to archi-
tects' offices. members of the club be-

DR.. BLACKS FAREWELL
Evangelist Winds Up Meeting With
Powerful Sermon.


By a Reporter for The Enquirer.
Basing his sermon on the 18th and
18th verses Of the third chapter Of
Exodus, Rev. William Black preached
what was perhaps the strongest sermon
delivered during the ten days evan
gelistic services which were brought
to a close at the First Presbyterian
church Tuesday evening.
The church was comfortably filled
with people from the town and the
community surrounding, representing
all of the religious denominations.
Preliminary to the sermon Of the
evening was the usual choir and con-
gregational singing, prayers and a
Scripture lesson from Exodus 81 to 1O.
Prefacing the Scripture reading, DR..
Black pointed out that the answer to
the question, What shall l do to be
saved?" is to be found in the language
of Matthew 1882: "Whosoever there
fore shall confess me before men, him
will l confess also before my Father,
which is in heaven" Trust in the
Son of God; confession Of the Son of
God, are essentials to personal saliva
ton. Do both-trust him and confess
him." said the speaker. Reading the
Scripture lesson from Exodus 3, de-
scriptive Of how God selected and call
ed Moses to deliver the Israelites from
Egyptian bondage and how Moses put
forward his various excuses as to why
he should not be expected to perform
this great task, and how each excuse
was answered by God from the midst
of the burning bush, DIR. Black told his
hearers that Moses performed the
greatest task that was ever given to
man to do. How he went down into
Egypt, after forty years Of sheep tend
ing and without an army. working as
Gods agent, he performed miracle af-
ter miracle, and foretold the coming Of

Party Who Acts as Agent Between
Blind Tiger and Buyer Can't be Con-
victed.
Concerning the disposition Of the
other liquor cases on the police dock
ct yet untried, City Attorney Sulli-
van has made the following state
ment:
After comforting with Mayor God
frey and the detectives, have decid-
ed to mol pros the three remaining
liquor cases." stated Mr.. Sullivan. Il
do this in view Of the verdict Of not
guilty in the case of Lee Brown yes
terday afternoon. We had an excel
lent jury, as we have had in all the
cases and all the defense relied on
was that, although Brown delivered
the liquor and received the money, he
had previously bought it from some
one else and was merely the agent
Of the buyer.
II think the jury could have de-
cided either way, that is, that he was
the dealer or the agent Of the buyer"
continued Mr.. Sullivan. Evidently
the jury concluded he was the agent
of the buyer, and under a decision Of
the supreme court which you may re-
member went up from the city court
here, one who acts as the agent OF
the buyer only can not be convicted
Of any offense.
1.-The same defense Of agent Of the
buyer can be raised and probably
would be in two Of three remaining
cases, and there has been a mistrial
in the third case. am satisfied from
the verdict yesterday afternoon that
the same verdict would be rendered
in the three cases left. 1t Is very diff
ficult to convict 'go-betweens' under
the present law. The legislature
should help us eliminate the 'go-be-
tweens' by making it against the law
to buy intoxicating liquors for an
other. Several states have already
passed such law and think among
them Is North Carolina and Alabama.
If the 'go-betweens' is eliminated and
the purchaser thus forced to buy his
liquor himself, it will greatly simpli-
fy the problem for courts and juries.
"a strong effort will be made by
the city authorities and others to have
the general assembly pass such law
at its next session.
"As the matter now stands the
liquor cases have been disposed of as
follows: Nine pleas Of guilty entered.
two convictions, two acquittals, one
mistrial, afterwards mol pressed, and
three mol pressed without trial.

The national council Of the Boy
Scouts Of America, through an au-
thorized committee, held a special
meeting in New York last Wednes-
day, to consider a statement issued by
Ernest T. Seton in which he said that
he had resigned as chief scout. After
the meeting the council issued this
statement: Mr.. Seton did not resign;
he was deliberately dropped by the ma
tional council Of the Boy Scouts of
America on the question Of American
ism. He Is not an American citizen.
He not only resented suggestions and
requests made by many of his friends
in the Scout movement that he be-
come an American citizen, but went
further and objected to the Boy Scouts
handbook including a chapter on
patriotism. His term expired February.
1915. The national council at its an
nual meeting did not re-elect him be-
cause Of the belief that in a move
nent for making men as citizens Of
America, there should be no doubt as
to their citizenship and patriotism Of
the leaders Of the movement. Any
statement that the dropping Of Mr..
Seton or his alleged resignation was
due to anything else than this Is not
true. In fairness to Mr.. Seton. the Of
fee was left vacant until he could be
afforded a reasonable opportunity to
declare his intention Of becoming a
citizen Of the United States. This he
refused. In response to Mr.. Seton's
attempt to resign, he was informed
that inasmuch as he held no Office there
was no office from which he could re-
sign and the matter was finally closed
last July. Mr.. Seton promised ex-
plicitly by letter that he would quiet
ly proceed with his own work without
raising any issue. He has seen At to
violate his promise without any notice
to the executive board or any Of its
officers at time and under conditions
which make necessary this statement
of fact. The aims Of the Boy Scout
are today exactly the same
as have been since the organization Of
the movement in this country in 1910.
Character development and good citi-
zenship through wholesome outdoor
is the objective. The move
ment at its October meeting definitely
re affirmed the policy Of being a nom
political, non-military, not anti-mili-
tary, organization"

A Blow to British Prestige.

The defeat Of the British expedition
ary force in Mesopotamia, under Gen.
Townshend, is very serious affair
and may have Tar reaching efrects. The
announcement Of the reverse was sup
pressed as long as possible by the
British censor, but the details publish
ed from German sources were too cir
cumstantial to be ignored, and they
have been confirmed In practically full
particulars. The expedition. which had
approached within striking distance
OF Bagdad. seems to have been de-
feated in open battle by the Turks,
forced to retreat, and driven back up
on Its base more than q hundred miles
away, with heavy loss In condition
almost approaching q riot. The casual
ties OF the British were nearly 5000
men. The object Of the expedition was
important as phase Of the general
war, and had 1t been successful, might
have been turned to heavy account,
but 1t could hardly be esteemed an
essential Of the great campaign against
