PASTOR CONDEMNS USE
OF SCHOOL ON SUNDAY
Rev. Dr.. Radcliffe Say. Public Meet.
ings on Sabbath "Afront to
American Tradition,

Rev. Wallace Radcliffe, pastor Of New
York Avenue Presbyterian Church, in a
sermon yesterday voiced a protest against
the use Of tho public schools on Sunday
afternoon as a meeting place Of the Com
munity Forum. DR.. Radcliffe said:
The effort to use the school buildings
for the Sunday afternoon community
meetings should be opposed by all Chris
tan citizens. It would be an arront to
the best American traditions and a direct
violation Of divine law. The schools
should be held to their proper use. They
were not built to encourage the similarly
ing OF the rest day either by added work
or worldly amusement.
The influence, however respectable,
which seeks to impose this added work
to our community life should be defeated
and rebuked IN the use Of either school
buildings or National Museum. In these
solemn days the nation should remember
the close union God establishes and all
history confirms between the Fourth
Commandment and national destiny"

COMBUSTION IMPERFECT
This Is First Case of Poisoning in the
District from Use of Low
Grade Gasoline.

William Hill. 80, colored. chauffeur for
DR.. Charles l. West, of 1924 NJ street
northwest, Is the first known victim in
Washington of the poisonous carbon
monoxide gas. which is created by the
imperfect combustion OF a low grade of
gasoline said to be marketed at pres
ent.
Hill was adjusting the carbureter on
his employers automobile on Saturday
night. The first symptoms OF poisoning
he experineced were violent pains in the
back of his head. This was followed by
nausea He finally turned the engine
Off and went into the fresh air. He
walked about ten feet from the garage
and fell unconscious in the street
A neighbor picked him up and carried
him into the physicians office where he
received medical treatment with tho
exception OF a dazed sensation, he had
entirely recovered yesterday.
In speaking OF the case, DR.. West
stated that his mans experience should
be warning to all autOmObilists. that
with the use OF low-grade gasoline it
was impossible TO get perfect cOmbuS-
ton. and the gas would necessarily b.
generated, and. since it was odorless, its
victims were taken unawares.
He added that an automobile engine
should never be started in a closed
garage.
There have been several fatal cases Of
carbon monoxide gas poisoning through
out he country, but the case OF Hill is
the "rst reported in the city.

SAYS WILLIAMS
Former Democratic Envoy to
Greece Criticises Presi-
dent and Premier.

George Fred Williams. former American
Minister to Greece. in a statement criti-
cising President Wilson and Secretary of
State Lansing. asserts that a majority
Iof Democratic Congressman consider the
reelection of the President as impossible.
He urges that unpledged delegations be
sent to the st. Louis convention.
1T Is the universal complaint that a
kitchen cabinet rules the President, of
which one OF the potent members is said
TO be a leading representative Of high
f1nance-the loaners and the arms man
ufaCturers" said Mr.. Williams.
AS the Democratic party is now con-
sidering the denomination OF President
Wilson. It becomes US to inquire by what
processes our once peaceful and neutral
President has become partisan. Mel
Their the military program nor a pos
sible diplomatic impasse has he sought
the advice of his party leaders. These
have already rejected his military plans
and now threaten to protest his conduct
of our foreign affairs.
TT is claimed tNat Democratic Con-
gressmen no longer volunteer calls at the
White House and they must state their
business before they are admitted to the
President l have 1t from responsible
leaders that the President does not con-
suit them upon legislative policies, and
that even when they are decided upon,
the protests OF the leaders have been
unavailing."
Referring to Secretary Lansing, Mr.
Williams says:
His statement must be accepted. that
he Is a Democrat as he confirms his title
by announcing that he has presided over
Democratic county conventions, but out.
side of his county. No Democrat knew
him.
