AUTO OWNED BY ALERT

John d. Mansfield, general salesmanager

man through the use Of his car. In the
course Of a working year OF 2l2 days

REV. R. |. BONSTEEl
CLOSES PASTORATE
At Baptist Church Next
Sunday-Leaves Follow
ing Wednesday.

Rev. R. L. Bonsteel will bring his
pastorate Of the First Baptist church
in this city to a close next Sunday.
He will preach at both the morning
and evening services, although no
special sermon for the occasion has
been announced. He will in all like
lihood preach simple Gospel sermons
without special reference to the good
byes that must follow. Mr.. Bonsteel
is practical; he is not much given to
"sob stuff" popular on such occasions
among the more sentimentally in
clined
Palatka is going to palt with this
practical pastor with much regret
This regret is general and by 40
means confined to the members of his
congregation.
Mr. and Mrs. Bonsteel will probably
leave about Wednesday of next week
for their new home at BaXley, Ga.
Baxley is a town of something like
1000 inhabit2nts, has only two white
churches-a Baptist and q Methodist
and the former, over which Mr..
Bonstcel will preside as pastor, is a
strong church. Mr. Bonsteel believes
it offers him an advantageous field
for Christian endeavor.
Just what is going to come to the
Palatka Baptist church in the imme-
diate future, it is hard to predict.
There is work for strong man here,
and regret is very keenly felt among
the members over the severance of
present PASTORAL relations.
Rev. Dr. S. r. Skinner Of Alachua,
who occupied the pulpit two weeks
ago, has been called. The call was
settled upon st a meeting of the men,
bership at the close Of the evening
service last Sunday.
But it seems there is a doubt in
the minds of many Of the members
concerning it's acceptance. DR.. Skin
ner is very pleasantly situated at
Alachua. He has a strong church

nreciates him. He receives q salary
Of 81 POO a year and is given a mar

Members of the House and Senate whose communications had come largely from pacifists began receiving telegrams from their constituents calling for vigorous action.

BRYAN FAILS ID DEFEAT WILSON'S
 PLANS IN HOUSE Committee on Foreign Af- fairs Votes Favorably on Act Giving Power to
 the President
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington, February 2S. Especial. William Jennings
 Bryan suffered a reversal this afternoon in his first move to l tie the hands of the President
 and divide the American peo- pie in the hour of the German
 crisis. The House foreign af- fairs committee, by an over whelming vote, reported the resolution conferring on the executive power by means of which to protect American rights and honor.
 In committee. four democrats op- posed the President in his plans. Two
 of these were MT. Shackleford, pa cifist of Missouri, and MT. Huddleston, pacifist of Alabama. Each of the gentlemen, in explanation of his po- sition, issued brief, styled minor ity report. The statement of MT. Shackleford was in fact prayer for peace at any price. The argument of MT. Huddleston was profound if not appealing. To his own satisfaction he proved that the President was wrong and that he, himself, was right. BRYAN IN PRESS GALLERY Following the report of the commit tee MT. Bryan visited the press gallery and viewed the prohibition fight as it ragged on the floor of the House. changed kindly glances with his score of followers. It is understood that he and the pacifists of Congress will hold a secret session tomorrow in the hope that some scheme might be devised whereby they. with the assistance of the Senate republicans, might succeed in further embarrassing the President.
 HOUSE WILL ACT
 Despite the opposition of Bryan. Shackleford, Huddleston. London and handful of others. it is expected that the House. under special rule, will rapidly enact the resolution. In the Senate the outcome is regarded as problematical Republicans, determined to secure an extra session. are fill bustering and those democrats with peace-at-any-price predilection are sil- entity applauding.

 HENRY LED "WETS' Chairman Henry of the rules commit tee led the fight for the wet" He succeeded in keeping the bill from coming up on the floor until after noon by filibustering on a minor judgeship measure He had a handful of other bills ready to bring up when Represent tative Harrison, another member of the rules committee, took the floor from him in heiAlf of the rule under which tiaa dry blfi framed by the district commit- tee led the fight for the ''wets."
 Mir Henry protested that undue haste should not be exercised in perfecting such an important measure and Mr. Harrison replied:
 We are willing to sit here with you gentlemen until the 4th of March, if nec- essary. in order to perfect this bill''
 HARRISON CHEERED
 Cheers greeted this declaration and broke out intermittently during the long struggle that followed.
 point of no quorum by Representa- tive Coady of Maryland was followed by a rush of the anti-prohibition representa- tives to absent themselves, and there was a long delay while the sergeant at arms was bringing them back Then it de- veloped that the filibusterers were ready to demand roll calls on long list of amendments, with frequent roll calls on motions to adjourn interspersed, and the prohibition leaders abandoned the cop mittee bill and brought in the rule to substitute the Senate measure. It was adopted 242 to TIP, and roll call on the bill itself soon was reached.

 ADMINISTRATION PROGRAMME
 The administration programme is to have the Senate substitute for the House measure the bill reported by the Senate committee and based upon memorandum prepared by the President. In the form of conference report the leaders antici- pated no difficulty in having the House pass promptly the substitute.
 Former Secretary Bryan appeared at the capitol tonight while the House was debating the District of Columbia prohi- bition bill It developed. however that he had not come to support the efforts of the paciist group, and in a general way indorsed President Wilson's address to Congress.
