c. J. Spiers


When it became generally
known that Claude ]. Spiers was
to go from our midst, outsiders,
and ehurchmen alike, felt that
the community was losing good
citizen, the Church progressive,
efficient, intelligent, christian
gentleman, local society a pure
character and hundreds of us a
real, true and helpful friend.
He came to US about two years
ago, and never was steward
more faithful of his stewardship
or servant truer to his Master.
His unceasing labor and never
tiring energy, coupled with his
insight into human nature and
sympathy for that nun berless
army of outsiders-those beyond
the pale of the Kingdom caused
his influence to be felt far beyond
the confines of his own Church.
He not only preached sermons,
he lived Life. He did not stop
at pointing the way to the Cross,
but kept himself within the
shadow, Verify, we may truth.

The patriotic address deliver.
ed by Mr.. Spiers last May was a
classic. 1t was a plea for real
Americanism, free of jingoism,
pure and undefiled. 1t called for
men who were not too proud to
fight, men who were ready to
sacrifice their all for right and
honor. In him we saw the virile
minister OF old, who if necessary
would lead his flock to the battle
front. 1t quickened the pulse of
the veteran as be recalled the
days of yore; the middle aged
man thought deeply, thought
more of his duty and responsible
ity to his country than ever be.

vision of his country's need, not
only of his physical strength but
of his spirit as we'll and said
within his heart, "I'll be ready"
He is real organizer, a worker.
He organized the mems meeting
here which has accomplished
much and it's possibilities are un-
limited. His work in the church
here from the outsiders view
point has been nothing short Of
wonderful. He smoth the rock
of the churches resources and
abundant streams of revenue
burst forth, he touched Its
spiritual corps and it sprung
upon it's feet, and arose to walk
in newness of life. But l am an
outsider and should not "but in"
on church dolngs however, in
conclusion 1 will say;
"When others failed and wept,
He smiled and steadily kept,
Bravely on until the dawn
Broke over him, and he
Put on the crown of victory.
What other only thought
He did; he saw ahead
And other followed where he led.

But fresh incentive, more strength gained,
To reach the goal to be attained.

In human life,

SOLDIERS Sox ANNOY

NEW YORK, March 22.-Life in the
trenches in France probably keeps
the Canadian soldiers SO busy that
they can't spend much thought on

wife is an enthusiastic knitter OF
socks for soldiers, sailed from the
Vanderbilt Hotel wearing a pair, as a
tribute to his wife. He was dressed

to refer carelessly to the hose and
exhibit them.
He sauntered up Park avenue. but

RAIL TORPEDO NOT ILLEGAL
Explosive Placed on Track Leads to
Futile Arrest.

A railroad torpedo. placed on street
car tracks. may not be regarded as
dangerous weapon in violation Of Sec
ton S46 Of the code of the District re-
lating to the placing of distractions
on street car tracks.
This decision was reached by Judge
Mullowny in Police Court this morn
ing in the trial OF Ollie Phillips, twen-
ty-three years old, who was accused oil
attempting to obstruct the tracks OF
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company at Four-and-a-half and ID
streets southwest.
Attorney H. ]. Quinn, representing
the defendant, showed that he had not
been employed by the Washington
Railway and Electric Company.
Furthermore" continued the at
torney, the court may not hold that
q railroad torpedo, used primarily as
a warning against danger rather than
as a damaging instrument, may be
accepted as a violation of the law re-
lating to instructions on street car
tracks"
The case was dismissed. Policeman
c. Rienhard made the arrest.

DECLARES GERMANS LOYAL.

'The vast majority of German
Americans in the United States can be
counted on to stand by this nation In
the event OF war with any power"
This was the statement made yester-
day by Bishop John w. Hamilton,
chancellor of the American Univer-
sity in Washington and a widely
travelled man. There is a possibility
of some of the hyphenated Americans
being led astray by bad leadership.
Bishop Hamilton admitted, but a
majority will remain firm in their
allegiance to the United States.

SOUTH WASHINGTON
STANDARDIZATION
Citizens Association Endorses
The Times Appeal for Strike
Prevention Laws.

Addressing the members of the
South Washington Citizens Associa
ton at the Jefferson School last night
upon the subject of compulsory arbi
tration OF labor disputes, Hedge Muir
ray, Washington attorney and secre
tary of the organization, Endorsed
The Times recent editorial sugges
ton that Congress pass laws to com
pei arbitration OF labor disputes be,
tween District public service corpora.
lions and employees.
Mr.. Murray reviewed the decision
OF the United States Supreme Court
on the Adamson eight-hour law. He
said this Is a forerunner of the i'm
portant part the Government will
take in future labor troubles.
Resolution Amended.
By passing a law requiring employ
ers and employees to submit their diff
ferences to a properly constituted
board OF arbitration, Mr.. Murray said,
Congress might avert for the District
recurrence of a street railway
strike here.
The association had under consider
alton a resolution relative to the car
strike. 1t was first worded to express
sympathy for the unonists, but on mo
ton of Mr.. Murray 1t was amended
to place public interest above that
of either the company or the en-
ployes.
J. Hammond Brewer, speaking In
behalf of the "open shop" declared
every man ought to be permitted TO
mako his own contract OF employ
ment, and that he ought not be re-
quired to Join q union unless he felt
SO inclined.
"A Chaotic Condition"
The resolution follows:
"whereas, a chaotic condition has
resulted In the Nations Capital on ac-
count Of the strike Of the street car
employees of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company; and
"whereas, the public is made to
suffer greatly on account Of made
quate service and disorder arising
from the strike, and inasmuch as this
regards the interest Of
the public paramount to the interests
of either the company or its en-
ployes: therefore be II
Resolved, That the South Wash
ington Citizens Association go on
record as petitioning the company and
its employees to bring their differences
to a board of arbitration for settle
ment."

ANCIENT BASKET HIS GIFT
Dick Adams Gives Indian Relic to
Tom Grant at Commerce Chamber.

Tom Grant at Commerce Chamber.
II might have belonged to Chin
gachgook, that stalwart chief of the
Delawares whose virtues ]. Fenimore
Cooper related in the famous Leath-
er Stocking Tales, or 1t might have
belonged to Uncas, son of Chingach-
cook, or to some Mohican brave, but
1t belongs now to Secretary Tom
Grant, of the Washington Chamber
OF Commerce.
It is but a basket, but one needs
only to glance at 1t to see that IL
is no ordinary basket. Made of cords
of fiber SO skillfully woven together
that 1t will hold water, and ornament
ed with quaint looking designs OF
red, black and gold straw, the basket
suggests the woods, the campfire,
and the Red Men who hunted along
the shores Of the Potomac two CEN
turtles ago.
II was presented to Mr.. Grant today
by Dick Adams, who points with
pride to the fact that his ancestors
were Delawares, and who has had the
basket in his possession for many
years, 1t being one of many relics
of his. people. He has in his pos
session a small silver turtle, which
was the emblem of royalty among
his people, and which has been hand
ed down through generations. He
also has a carefully treasured pipe,
which, according to tradition, was the
identical one which William Penn
smoked at the famous treaty of peace
between the Quakers and the Indians.
Adams, who spends much OF his
time in the Capital looking after mat
ters pertaining to oil lands owned
by his people, is a close friend Of
Secretary Grant and frequently calls
at the Chamber of Commerce.
