New Unitarian Pastor Says that
He Notes Spiritual Awakening

The new Unitarian pastor for the
First Unitarian church of Omaha,
Robert F. Leavens, has arrived in
Omaha from Fitchburg, Mass, where
he has been in charge Of Unitarian
church for some years. Prior to that
time he was pastor OF one of the
large Unitarian churches in Boston.
Mr.. Leavens will open regular SER
vices Sunday morning in the present
quarters of the Unitarians, Turpin's
hall. There are numerous evidences
of a spiritual awakening in different
sections OF the country" said Mr.
Leavens on his arrival in Omaha. All
religious bodies are feeling the effects
and most OF them are contributing
their influence. One cause is the
European war, which has shocked So
ciety to its foundations and forced
people to more serious thought Also
the materialism OF the last half CEN
fury has run its length and reaction
has set in upward toward idealism.
Man cannot live by bread alone.
Billy Sunday and the other evangel-
lists have helped in their way Another
token is the ethical revival noticeable
in business and politics. Success
used to be the slogan; now one hears
more about service The unrestrict-
ed liberty OF the individual to plumber
and exploit is being checked in the in
terest of public righteousness and
common welfare"
The old Unitarian church in Omaha
was sold to the German Singing So
ciety in May, 1918. From that time
until January |, 1915, the Unitarians
OF Omaha had no church. Services
were then begun at the parish house,
Fortieth and Cass streets. On Janu-
airy |, 1916. services were opened at
Turpin's hall.

Half Soles Refuse
To Keep Contract

Rubber half-soles for automobile
tires proved the undoing of Osee Al
len Fulk, formerly a prominent in
surance man Of Lincoln, according to
voluminous suit filed agains. the
International Rubber company ask
ing the payment Of $4,000 damages.
When hocks OF dissatisfied customers
descended upon him demanding that
he replace the half soles, Osee's trou-
bles began, and they continued until
he was forced to shut up shop on
Farnam auto row, he complains.
After contracting with the rubber
company to handle the half-soles IN
Douglas county and Council Bluffs,
Fulk asserts that he was assured by
the firm that the soles would run TO-
900 to $4,000 miles before wearing
out, that they could safely be guar
anteed for $500 miles, that they were
fully protected by patent and that by
hard work and careful dickering he
could knock out profit Of about
500 day by equipping cars.
After disposing Of a series OF the
soles complaints began to pour in,
the auto owners declaring the soles
not what they were cracked up to be.
They demanded that they be replaced
and Fulk did the replacing out OF his
own pocket He took the kicks and
replaced until his Golfers became ex-
hausted, he alleges. Hence the suit
for $4,000. On top Of it all other
patented auto half-soles began to ap-
pear on the market and competition
caused commercial ills. Before en-
tcring the half-solc, business Fulk
was drawing $500 month as assist
ant agent for an insurance company

Slave Cells at Savannah.
From the Atlanta journal.

Except perhaps for the old slave market
at Milledgeville the city of Savannah prOba-
bly, has, in the foundation of the Pulaski
hotel, on the corner of Bull and Bryan
streets, Georgia's most marked memento of
the days when men were sold as chattels.
For the basement of this ancient hosiery
is hOneycombed with bricked-up cells used
before the war by slave owners for the safe
keeping of their charges.
There are very few people of this genera
ton who know of this famous "underpin-
ming of the old hote,. Mr.. B. B. Cubberge,
the proprietor of the hotel, and a Journal
representative went through these old cells,
or dungeons, a few days ago.
Some of the cells are large enough to
contain half dozen men, others are smaller,
there not being room for more than one or
two human beings. In each of these under
ground compartments there is a door with
grated iron bars, through which food and
water were handed to the inmates detained
at the request of their masters
When the Pulaski hotel was built it was
necessary to have something of this charac-
ter, because many of its patrons were among
the most famous slave owners of Georgia
and the CarOlinaS.
Savannah was great stopping point for
the slave owners en- route to their rich plan
tations, who wished to spend a short while
in Savannah or who went through toward
the north carrying their slaves to sell in the
markets of Milledgeville, Augusta, Charles
ton or Richmond 1t was as a matter of
convenience to these slave owners that these
underground compartments were provided
when the Pulaski was originally built some
thing like 100 years ago.
Since that time the hotel has undergone
many above-ground changes, but, except in
a few instances, the slave cells have re-
manned as they were originally constructed.
Now they are valuable only as a reminder
of days that have long passed in Georgia.
These rooms are a point of great interest
for those who know about them, but there
are very few people even in Savannah who
are aware of Their existence.
The half-hdden cells seem, at first glance,
merely basement rooms.
One of the largest of these human safety
vaults was torn out about ten years ago to
make room for the elevator machinery in
the hotel, and another was torn away to
secure room for the large boiler that sup
plies the hotel rooms with heat Except
for these invasiOns in the name of prog
ress, and for the installations of modern
ideas the underground compartments re-
main as they were constructed in the days
''befo' de war" They are a submerged link
between the New South and Old.
