COLORED PREACHERS
UP AGAINST CAMPS
Eastern Shore Clergymen
Say They No Longer Pro-
mote Spiritual Upliit
ARE CLASSED AS
BREEDERS OF CRIME

ANNAPOLIS. Feb. 9.-The horren-
dous "goings on" az the colorod camp
meetings on the Eastern Shore were
described in all their frightfulness
yesterday by a delegation Of oolored
ministers from that fair region at
hearing before the Eastern shore
legislators.
The committee Of colored Methodist
preachers who want the campmeet-
ings taxed out OF existence consisted
Of the Reys. ID. II. Hargis. OF Cam
bridge: J. Il. King. OF Princess Anne;
J. r. Holland OF Easton; J. H. Blake
of ST. Michaels, and G. w Pullett. Of
chestertown.
The Rev. Dr. Hargis was the princi-
pal speaker lie declared that original
iy campmeetings had been held for the
social and spiritual uplift OF tho col
ored people. but that they had long
since outlived their usefulness and.
had become mere money-making
schemes. He rocounted many deeds OF
violence and crime at campmeetings
and declared that the camps appealed
10 the worst elements Of tho colored
people. Stories we're told Of how
crapshootors and whlslyy-sellers in
Tested tho camps. one Of the former
having on one occasion shot up" a
camp. woundlng several persons and
causing the preachers 20 take TO their
heels IN great haste.
The bread stall" was described
with horror by the speaker as a place
run for profit, where not only all sorts
OF sales were made on Sunday, but
where. even while services we're IN
progress, selling went on at the back
Of the tent, although the front door
was closed. And he said that not only
were all sorts Of eatables sold, but
that watermelons were sold at 80
cents apiece. each melon containing a
whole pint OF whisky.
Asked why the colored ministers did
not refuse 70 take part in campmeetings
Hargis declared they would like 10 do 80,
but that unless they did they were
told that their salaries would not and
could not be paid 30 that they were
powcrless. and were appealing 20 tho
Legislature to help them control tho
situation, which they We're unable TO do
alone.
Asked why the colored preachers did
not appeal TO the civil authorities 70

w. ID. Everth. second officer of the
British steamer Author, one of the
vessels sunk by the German raider
Moewe, OF Ponga, declared today he
believed the raider has crossed the
Atlantic to prey on British commerce.
Eyerth, who was one of the prisoners
aboard the Appam, said that the
raider was in communication with tho
Appam by wireless every night on
the trip to America and that she
could not have been more than 500
miles from Norfolk when the Appam
spcd into that port last Tuesday.
He said he believed the raider is
now i'm or headed for the Gulf of
Mexico TO lie in wait Of British
vessels
II was pointed out that if the raider
started across the Atlantic, January
n. conveying the Appam, she might
easily have encountered in mid-Ocean
the Orissa, which left Rio de Janeiro
on January 40.
officers of big lines operating un-
der the British flag from New York
TO Liverpool scoffed at the possibil-
ity that any of their big steamers
were in danger, but shipping men
generally displayed more concern
than at any time since German u
boats sank the Lusitania and 90
ened the safety of other big passen-
ger carriers.

CREDIT TO BURN

NOOD Benjamin Franklin might have
VI thrown up his hands in terror at the spec
tace shortly to. be presented of the city of
Philadelphia borrowing sS7,OOO,OOO. But shrewd
Benjamin, after a ten-mnute interval to get
his breath and 10 conceive the situation, would
have clapped those same hands in joy. For
he would have seen a city capable Of going
forward in every project necessary to its ad
vancement and progress, with a credit not
shaken and still not burdened by debt.
The per capita Indebtedness OF New York
city is sls2. That of Philadelphia is $3.50
There is no reason why Philadelphia should
fear a large debt nor is there any reason for
rejoicing In one. The vital thing is that for
many years 10 come Philadelphia can, with
the very slightest increase in taxation meet
interest, pay OF obligations and continue to
build its transit lines, its Libraries, its Park
way, can abolish grade crossings ana improve
it's sewage and still be in the position of a
Wellmanaged household. 1t is perhaps not
practicable for any philanthropist 10 dig deep
and offer to pay the cty's debt. But the more
important thing is that the city has no need
of such a philanthropist It can borrow ON
the most advantageous terms. ana while the
nations Of Europe come to this country bid
ding high for loans Philadelphia can sauntsr
into the market and be overwhelmed with OF.
