'- Detroit Visit.

OYSTER BAY. May 2.-Colonel
Roosevelt had nothing to say today OF
the Hughes victory In the Oregon pri-
maries. He was, however. enthusiastic
over his reception in Detroit. and spent
today In conferences with friends.
He will visit the West again, deliver

All the Colonel's advisers are of one
mind about the elimination of Henry

showed that the so-called hypherated
pro-German strongholds evidenced no
foundation to the belief that the Ameri-

some had contended.
Mr.. Roosevelt's utterances in behalf
OF America first, last. and all the time,
without any second" were greeted with
loud APPLAUSE.
The adherents OF Colonel Roosevelt
were encouraged by the attitude of the
old guard leaders Of Detroit, most of
whom have swung into line for the
Colonel, or. at any rate, are ready to
negotiate with him.

Presbyterians Put Ban
On Sunday Amusements

ATLANTIC CITY. May 21.-The
Presbyterian general assembly has
adopted resolutions soundly condemn
Ing all forms OF amusement and work
on Sundays.
Some opposition to the resolution
was voiced by James d. Andrews, of
New York, but he found himself with
out support.
The resolution advocates the abo-
lition of motion picture shows on
Sunday, and Sunday newspapers. Pres
byterians are even urged to abstain
from subscribing to Sunday news
papers or from advertising in, them.
, All baseball, golf. automobiling, ten
mis-. and IL Ike diversions are con-
demned as sinful. and the use OF pub
lie schools as civic or social centers
in violation of the Fourth Com
The resolution even goes so far as
to urge all schools and colleges to
that pupils may not be compelled to
break the Sabbath by study.
Tho resolution calls on all en-
ployers to recognize the right OF their
public officials to enforce all laws for
the protection of the day. In this
connection all members of the church
are called on TO support all officials
an such faithful discharge of their
duties"
In his opposition to the resolution
Judge Andrews appealed to the as
sembly to recognize the need of the
'laboring man for decent recreation on
Sundays. his only day OF liberty, and
pointed out that the Bible does not
specifically condemn all sports.
The resolution recommends the for
nation in each presbytery of a Sab
bath observance committee, and urges
the observance of the week commence
ing with the Sunday after Easter as a
week of prayer for the cause.

effort to throw out the New York

RAILWAY RULE CRITICISED.
Traffic Held Up at New York Ave-

BY POP.

A small crowd Of pedestrians gath
cred at New York avenue and 9th
street this morning and indulged in
criticism of the manner in which traffic
on the street railway line was un-
necessarily tied up. westbound car
on the Columbia line struck a small
automobile. but did very little dam
age. and traffic was delayed while the
conductor of the car obtained the
names of witnesses.
1t was suggested by a passenger on
the car, who was on his way to work,
that the crew Of the car that fol-
lowed might take the forward car, go
ahead and prevent passengers from
being delayed. Such a procedure, it
was said, would not be in keeping
with the rules of the company unless
an inspector or an official of the road
should authorize it.
Some of the passengers, tired of be-
ing delayed. left the car and walked to
their places of employment One of
them suggested that the car company's 8
rules should be amended SO as to pre-
vent such delays and annoyances.

These figures may seem high to the

that one paper brought by each child
