Disposition.

.Splrits were fitting in and out OF a
spiritualist meeting at Pythian Hall last
night when Rev Alfred Terry, the
medium. felt one who brought cold,
shiyering sensation with him.
'Did your husband ever live In. the far
North?'' he asked the woman who had
begged for a message from her departed
spouse. l
She was deeply puzzled. Her hus-
bands name was Henry, just as the
spirit identified itself, but Henry had
never lived north OF Baltimore, and she
said so.
"Did he ever sell ice?" asked Mr..
Terry
Mr.. Terry was wrong again.
"I get the impression of Henry freez-
ing to death In cake of ice. near the
north pole. He brings a chilly feeling
with him. I get the impression that he
froze to death in the far North. l have
never felt a spirit with such cold. un-
happy disposition. Oh! Now l get the
Impression that it is some sort of pun
jshment-some sort of development of
his character in this world"
The woman shouted In Joy.
You're right. He had the coldest dis
position of any man l ever saw. You're
right, you're right That's Henry.

SENATE WILL ATTACK
PROMOTION OF GRAYSON
Boost of Physician, Presidents Protege,
Declared Against Law.

Dr. Cary T. GraysOn's stupendoUs jump
by the President from the rank of lieu
tenant commander to that of rear ad-
miral will be attacked in the Senate as
Illegal. Both the navy and the army
are incensed at what they charge to be
a fragrant disregard of service and merit
in advancing the young surgeon over 133
OF his brother officers and quote the Re-
vised Statutes of the United States as
their authority for the assertion that the
promotion is contrary to law. Here is
the citation:
Any officer of the navy may, by and
with the consent of the Senate, he ad-
vanced not exceeding thirty numbers in
rank for eminent and conspicuous con-
duct in battle or extraordinary heroism.' -
Also 1t is asserted that the navy bill
Of August %. 1916 failed to leave open
the way for the President to make these
staff corps appointments. 1t is said that
the law was specifically framed to pre-
vent just such extraordinary indulCences
Again the OPT nents of the Graysor
Jump" cite the Federal law which IL.
Section 1850 Of the Revised Statutes SAYS:
The grades esta blished in the six pre-
ceding sections for the staff corps Of tn,
navy shall be filled by appointment from
the highest member OF each corps, ac-
Cording to seniority"
1t became known yesterday that Sec
retary Daniels was convinced that such
a promotion as that accorded to DR.,
GraySon was outside the law. He sur
moned Judge Advocate General Ride :
Mclean. who agreed with his impress
sion and told him that the ONLY wav to
get around the law was for the Presi-
dent to revert to the constitutional pre-
rogaive Of making nominations The
consensus of navy opinion is against the
legality Of the Presidents action.

Counter.

was the subject OF a sermon last night
by Rev. Z. Hez Swem, at the Fifth Bap-

God does not run a bargain counter -
declared Mr.. Sven. The twenty-five
women mentioned in his topic were at q
bargain counter looking for something
for nothing. That is the reason they
tainted, he said.

GINNERS OF STATE MUST
 PAY LICENSE TO OPERATE

Little Rock, July 11.-Practically every ginner in the state of Arkansas must pay a license fee to operate his gin, under the warehouse act of the 1917 legislature. The act requires all public ginners to secure state li- cense, and the question as to who were private ginners was placed before At torney General Arbuckle Tuesday by Commissioner J. H. Page.
 Attorney General Arbuckle on We'd nesday rendered an opinion for the commissioner of agriculture in which he holds that a private ginner is one who gins his own cotton. If the gin is on plantation where the work is done by the day, then it is a private gin. If the crop is raised on the shares, or for cash rent, even though it be ginned by the owner of the land, it is a public gin, according to the de- cision.

COACH REP PAIRER
 RESCUES TWO BOYS

Little Rock, July 11.-Ofhcials of the Missouri Pacific have started a movement to secure a Carnegie medal for coach repairer in the employ of the railroad, who a few weeks ago went into a sewer tunnel beneath the Union station, into which two boys had ventured, bringing them out of the steam, when others declined to go to their assistance.
 The boys went into the open tunnel, and were cut off by exhaust steam from the station boilers. One was scalded so he soon died, and the other was seriously injured. The tunnel was filled with steam, and the employe took his life in his hands when he went after the boys. He declined to heed warnings, saying he could not remain on the outside as long as he knew the boys were in the tunnel. He first brought out the fatally scalded boy, and then returned after his brother.
