CHURCH BLAMED FOR VICE
Contribute to its Increase by Apathy
Says A. D. Chiquoine.

Philadelphia, May S0.-By lndlf'
ference the churches of Philadelphla
are contributing to the increase OF
vice and immortality in the city ano
vice conditions are striking PROOF
that church members arn grossly
failing in their duty Of Christians
and citizens, according to A. u.
Chiquoine, secretary of the 'Pennsyi-
yanfa Anti-Vice Society, who de-
livered an address Sunday night IN
St. Matthew's Luthern Church,
Broad and Mount Vernon Streets.
The speaker declared that petty
gambling and lotteries are so openly
conducted that a man who fails to
see them must be physically blind.
"a visit to many stores" he SAID
twill frequently reveat chance
cardlying on the counter. A church
merber, to be consistent, can tlnd lit
tie differentiation between gambling
for a few pennies or merchandise IN
an open store and, ';gambsing 1or
large sums behind locked door OF a
professional gambling establishment.
'Tmmorality to the average church
member is the Tenderloin. They fan
to realize that the Tenderloin is
condition and not contributing
cause primarily to vice and lmmor-
ality. 1t is reached by its habltues
and patrons through succession OF
steps, not by a single plunge. The
Tenderloin represents only part OF
the vice of the city; it attracts at
tention because it is Haunted. And Sc
pretty gambling in the corner store
street crap game anG similar forms
of vice receive no notice. Indeed, it
is countenanced and abetted, for
lotteries in chlrches and bazaars
conducted by church members are far
from unusual. When the church, to
be consistent, gives the same atten-
ton to vice conditions as its MEM
bers do to business, the moral con-
ditions will improve. 1t is rather in
congruous to demand of the police
to suppress what the church sup
ports and protects through apathy.

DEATH OF COL.
JOHN S. M0SBY
Veteran Confederate Leader
Expires in Washington
Hospital Today
WAS OCTOGENARIAN
Deceased Had Been in Declining
Health During the Past Six Months
or More

Washington, May 30-Col. John S.
Mosby, leader of Mosby's Rangers
during the civil war, died at Garfield
Hospital at 9 o'clock this morning.
Death was directly due to COM
plications incident to age. Colonel
Mosby was in his eighty-second year.
He had been in failing health for
more than six months. His condition
became so alarming about a month
ago that he was taken to Georgetown
University Hospital and subsequently
moved to the Garfield Hospital.
Present at his deathbed were his
ulster, Miss Blakely Mosby; his broth
en,in-law. Charles W. Russell, and
his daughters, Miss Ada Mosby,
! Miss Pauline Mosby. and Mr.. Stuart
Mosby Coleman, of this city.
Interment will be at Warrenton,
Va, the former home of the deceased.
Colonel Mosby was born on his
fathers plantation of Edgemont, Pow
hatan county, Va, on December 6.
1899. He was the eldest son Of Al
fred D. Mosby and Virginia Nc
Laurin, being thus of Welsh and
Scotch descent.
He was in his boyhood educated
at the country schools, until advanc-
ed to degree where the assistance
of Il tutor was enlisted. Under his
teaching he was prepared for the
University of Virginia, WHICH he en-
tered in 1850.
He was graduated from the Uni
versity of Virginia in 1852, when he
was but nineteen year old. lmmedia-
tely he returned home. but growing
restless he entered the Virginia bar,
and began the practice of law at
Bristol in 1885. Soon after establish
ing himself in his professional career
he married Miss Pauline Clarke,
daughter of Judge Beverly j. Clarke
former member Of Congress and Unit
ed States minister to Guatemala.
At the outbreak of the civil war,
Mosby, then young lawyer, enlisted
as Il private in the First Virginia
Cavalry of which J. F.. B. Stuart,
later the leader of the entire South
ern Cavalry force, was colonel. 1t
was thus that there began a friend
ship between the young and raw VOL
unteer and the dashing military Of
ficcr that endured until the lattcr's
death in 1864
Mosby was at the first battle of
Manassas, but took no active part in
the fighting. 1t was not until year
later that he gained his first promi-
nence. At that time, the vast army
of Mcclellan was lying like huge
serpent. around the east, north and
west of Richmond, within sight of
her spires Lee lay with his army
between.
Mosby, whom Stuart. struck with
mis- military capability. had attached
20 his staff. had been sent by his
commander to reconnoiter the fanks
of the enemy. On his return he sug-
gcstcd to Stuart the advisability Of a
raid by a cavalry brigade entirely
around McClelan's army.
Acting upon the idea. stuart, with
two regiments. made. his celebrated
"ride around Mcclellan" which so
dampencd the spirits of the North
In his bulletin announcing the feat
7 ne mentions the name of Mosby as
having been active in the enterprise.
This is the first time his name ap-
pears in history.

Each Republican Manager
Wants First Nomination
at Chicago
OPEN HEADQUARTERS
Plan for Alabama to Yield to New
York Will Meet With Instant OPP.
position By Roosevelt

Chicago, May 30. = Republican
Roosevelt headquarters were OPEN
ed in Chicago yesterday by Herbert
L.. Satterlee and Lawrence Graham
Of New York, and active work get
ting delegate votes for the candidate
begun. The headquarters were OPP
ened several hours before Colonel
Roosevelt arrived here en- route to
Kansas City, where he is to deliver
an address tomorrow. George Won L..
Meyer, former Secretary Of the Navy
is expected in Chicago today to as
sum charge of the pre-conventlon
campaign for Roosevelt.
Indications are that the plan of
Frank H. Hitchcock to have the
name of Charles E. Hughes present
ed to the Republican National Con-
vention as the first candidate may
result in an interesting fight be-
tween the Root, Roosevelt and Hugh
es forces. Hitchcock's arrangement
is that when the roll of states is cali
ed in alphabetical order to make no.
limitations for President to have Ala
bama, the first on the list, yield in
favor of New York, so that Hughes
NAV have the advantage of having
his name placed first. When friends
of former Senator Elihu Root and
Mr.. Roosevelt learned of this plan
thew declared they would attempt to
get recognition from the chairman
to present the name of their candl-
dates before that of Justice Hughes.
they said that the chairman OF the
convention would be obliged to set
tie the dispute at the time it arises.
Alice Hill Chittenden, of the New
York State National Anti-Wonan
Suffrage Association. notified c. D..
Hilles, chairman of the Republican
national committee by telegraph
that she would appear before the
convention committee en- resolutions
to oppose insertion in the Republican
platform of a national woman suf-
frage plank. The National Anti-Wo-
man Suffrage Association will send
a delegation to Chicago to worl'
against the plank, while members
of the Congressional Union for Wo-
men Suffrage vii! appear to plead
in favor of an endorsement of ma
tionwide suffrage for women.
Chairman Hilles has been advised
that the six delegates representing
Hawaii, Porto Rico and the Philip
pines. who, under the reapportlon-
ment of delegates, adopted by the
Republican national committee in
1913. are given seats in the conven-
tion without votes, will make a de-
termined fight before the Creden-
tials Committee for the right to vote.
They will argue that they are as
much entitled to vote as the dele
gates from the District of Columbia
and Alaska.

CONGRESSMEk
PAY UP LEV|ES
Montague is Last One to
Forward Required Pri-
mary Fee
LIST IS COMPLETED
No one Can Enter Race After Friday
Hottest Campaign in State Pre-
walls in Norfolk
-Le--3

Representative Andrew Jackson
Montague, of the Third District, yes
lterday deposited with State Auditor
Moore his check for $3.50, complying
with the requirements of the candi-
dacy provision Of the primary law.
EMr. Montague was the last of tie
members of Congress whose campaign
for reelection will take place under
the primary law, to qualify.
Apparently the list of Congressional
aspirants is complete. Under the law
every candidate for seat in Con-
gress must serve proper notice OF
his candidacy at least sixty days be-
fore the primary. The Congression-
al primary takes place on the first
of August. In order to participate:
therefore, aspirants for Congress
must pay in their candidacy fees and
iic notice of candidacy with the State
l.cmocratic Committee before the
close of business on Friday.
Representative Bascom c. Slcmr,
Of the Ninth District, and +. W.
Saunders, of the Fifth District, alone
of the present members of Congress
have not paid candidacy fees. Each
Kill be nominated by conventions IN
his respective district and will rot
come under the provisions OF the prl-
mary law.
With only four days left in wiich
rivals nay qualify, it appears row
that the close of the books on Fri
day will find every district without
a contest except the Second. Talk Of
opposition in the Fifth and Tenth
District is now heavily discounted.
In the Fifth it looked a. one time
last winter as if DR.. S. T. A. Kent
would make the race but his
boom, however seems to have collaps-
ed completely and the incumbent wi!
have no opposition.
In the Tenth District, State Sena-
tor Aubrey E. Strobe has been urged
to come out against Representative
Flood. Mr.. Strobe says he still has
the matter under consideration.
That was before the Peace oi
Washington, which compromised the
factional war and put an end to the
fight between Carter Glass and Ro-
rer A. James. The adjustment, i!
is conceded generally, has strength
ened Mr.. Floods hand in his district
and it is now regarded as improbable
that Mr.. Strobe will attempt to make
the race this year.
The battle royal of the August
primary will be staged in the Second
District, where Representative E. E.
Holland is opposed for reelection by
J. Peter Holland and J. Edward Cole
of Norfolk, and Harry L. Maynard,
of Norfolk County, Each OF the
candidates is prosecuting vigorous
campaign.
While it is not believed that ther
will be a fifth candidate from the Sec
ond District, there is said to be d
possibility that Rear-Admiral Dilling-
ham will enter the race either as a
Democrat in the primary or as an in
dependent in the general election.

Wealth of Railroad Magnate May
Reach S5OO,OOO,GOO

st. Paul, May 30-James J. Hill,
pioneer railroad builder and finan-
cier, died at $50 o'clock yesterday
morning at his Summit avenue home.
According to statement given out
by Mr.. Hills physicians death was

trouble. Following an operation per-
formed Saturday afternoon he sank

initiated against recovery.
The funeral will be held at his

trary to expectations interment will

and Anne (Dunbar) Hill. His child
hood was spent in Canada. From
his seventh to his fifteenth year he at

cine, but his father died in 1853 and
the young man took 4 job in a coun-
try store.
He ascended rung after rung of the
ladder until his wealth at his death
was estimated from $100,000.000 tol
$500, 100000. He was probably worth
between S200,0O0,0O0 and S250,000,O00
When the European war began in

ers together from the First Nation
al Bank and Northwestern Trust Com

100000 900 in securities was said to
have been in the boxes Mr.. Hill laid
before them.
There should be no trouble said
Mr.. Hill. "but if there is this amount
is at your disposal.
The First National Bank then bor-
rowed from Mr.. Hill $10,0O0,000i
worth of Great Northern Railroad
bonds. These were placed with the
Treasury Department in Washington
ard $6,O0O.000 worth of emergency
currency allowed under the .Aldrch
act was shipped at once to the First
National Bank. 1t was found neccs-
sary to place only $125.00O worth of
this in circulation. In a few weeks the
entire amount was returned to ....sn-
ington.
Mr.. Hill had the absolute control
of the First National Bank ana
Trust Company. which
have combined capital and surplus
of S6,500,000. He was a large owner
of stock in the Chase National Bank
of New York, the First Nationa
Bank of Chicago and the Northwest
crn Bank in Minneapolis. as we'll as
of the Great Northern Pacific Steam
ship Company.
The greatest portion of Mr.. Hills
wealth, however, was in the stocks
and bonds Of the Great Northern,
Northern Pacific and Chicago, Bur-
lington and Quincy Railroads.
