Swedenborg, a Liberating
Power, Is Poets Theme

Edwin Markham, poet and Sweden
borgian. lectured in the New Masonic
Auditorium yesterday on "Swedenborg.
a Liberating Power" declaring that
Swedenborg is the greatest power OF
modern times for the hberating OF human
thought.
In characterizins the freedom of the
freethinker, the speaker said that il was
the voluntary submission to the orderly
course of the inherent law of truth. He
spoke OF the intellectual bondage under
which people OF the Twentieth Century
labored and pointed out the ways in
which the teachings of Swedenborg
would break the shsciIes and release the
thinking of mankind, relieving men from
the fear OF the death and hell punish
ment, and the fear of a vengeful God.
After the lecture he read several of his
shorter poems. Among them was Russia
Arise" which breathed the spirit of the
Russian revolution, and he closed with
his ode on Lincoln.

Poll PLAYERS REVIVE
WITHIN THE LAW"
Florence Rttenhouse and William
Carleton to Play Leading Roles.

within the Law" which opens a
weeks engagement at Polls popular
playhouse tonight. was produced by the
Poll Players two years ago to enormous
business. After many requests for a re-
Vival the management has decided to give
another big production.
Bayard Villlar's melodrama has the
distinction of playing in New York City
longer than any drama ever produced,
and has been thoroughly indorsed by the
President and two former Presidents.
There are many big situations. and the
story runs the gamut of emotions.
Jane Cowl achieved her greatest sue
cess in the role of Mary Turner, the shop
girl heroine. In the Poll cast Florence
Rittenhouse, the popular leading lady,
will assume the difficult part played by
Miss Cowl, while William Carleton, who
has become big favorite with the play
ers. will play Young Glider. Another
feature of the production will be the use
on the stage OF the celebrated Maxim
silencer, used on the end of a revolver.
which makes the firing absolutely noise
less. The advance sale is the largest so
far of the entire season.

Baker Acts to Prevent War
Profit Scandals.

The governments first step to prevent
war profit scandals and to check raids
on the Federal Treasury was taken yes
terday by Secretary of War Baker when
he began the mobilization of the nation s
leading business men into an expert buy
ing corps.
Responding to a suggestion by the
Council of National Defense, Secretary
Baker requested President Rhett, of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States, to name an advisory committee
OF representative business men to assist
the government in the purchase of sup
plies needed II the country is plunged
into war. The advisory committee so
named will cooperate with depot army
Quartermasters throughout the country
In securing supplies authorized by law
at such rates of profits as they may con-
slider rea sonable.
Prompt action was taken upon Secre-
tary Bakers suggestion, and President
Rhett, Of the national chanb4r. last
night announced that five business men
for each OF the fourteen depot quarter
master stations would be named immedi-
ately. to offer advice and assistance to
the government quartermasters. The
committeeman will be trained specialists
In various lines, and will be charged
with the duty of assembling standardized
supplies at economical prices which
could be bought quickly and in such
quantities as the government may need
II war comes.
Secretary Baker declared that economic
disturbances that might follow a dec
laration of war would be minimized or
prevented altogether by the organization
OF the business men of the country as a
vital part of the national defense. He
expects that cooperation between the
army and business men will preclude the
possibility OF a profit interest in war.
Under Secretary Bakers plan, private
plants that are called into the govern
ment service will be allowed a small
profit. The business mems advisory
committee will be relied upon TO reject
all contracts calling for excessive rates
of profit.

NATIONAL BANKS SHOW
GREATEST YEARS gain
Earned 100000, 900 in leI6-Gain
of 1876 Per Cent Over 1915.

National banks of the United States
earned 500, ooO,0 900 during 1916, the greatest
profits ever realized by these institutions,
according to a statement issued by
Comptroller of the Currency Williams
last night These gross earnings COM
pare with s52sOOO.0oO for 1915. showing
an increase of 1876 per cent. Net earn
ings for 1916 amounted to $1,000 900, an
increase of s43,OOO,OOo or "a per cent over
the net earnings for 1915, the Comp
troller says.
The gross earnings for the latter half
of 1916 were at the rate of s62S, 600 900 a
year, while the net earnings for the six
month period were at the rate of s1S5, ,oo0,
900 a year. These figures mean, the
Comptroller says, that during the last
six months. the national banks have re-
ceived a gross return on their capital of
more than II per centaand on their com.
bined capitol and suplus of more than
10 per cent.
Comptroller Williams says that these
earnings have been made, despite the
fact that the last year has been marked
by lower interest rates generally and
by a marked modification of the exac-
ton of usurious rates of interest in the
sections where usury was practiced.
