MORGAN PLANT TO CEASE
AS MANUFACTURING CONCERN
CONTINUED from page !,

Judging from the amount of mate
rails still to be disposed of at the
Morgan plant, Mr.. Eldridge claimed
that he thought it would take two or
three or perhaps % weeks to en-
tirely clean up the existing supply II
have it removed from the plant. The
duds' which are being shipped out
hay bee ngoing SO rapidly he claimed
that he thought there was no cause for
more than one more scow load to go
out.
The perfect shells left at the plant
after the explosion, are being sent to
Charleston, s. G., where an arsenal
is being established. he said.
No Reconstruction Work.
No reconstruction has been done
at the plant with the exception of the
erection of administration, restaurant
and barracks buildings since the ex-
plosion, he said. The armistice had
stopped other construction work and
these buildings were necessary and
had been started when the armistice
was signed.
The dredging work in Cheesequake
creek, which has been going on stead
lily, was for the purpose of so deepen
ing the channel in the creek that the
shipping could go on uninterruptedly
from the Gillespie plant wharves.
There are at the present time, Mr..
Eldridgc said, reading from q record
on his desk. about $500 men at the
plant. On the same bus which carried
the interviewer to Morgan yesterday,
there were six men brought to the
plant by a labor agent through the
United States Employment service of
the department of labor. 1t was said
that more men are wanted at the plant
to expedite the work of clearing up.
These men were from Mt. Vernon, Va.
and had been secured from the gov
eminent agency in New York.
a.When the Giilespies leave h plant
there will be no immediate need Tor
any civilian employees end the only
men who are expected 20 be left there
will be the thousand or so ordnance
corps soldiers who are doing guard
and police work. These men are in
the barracks originally erected fol-
civilian employees of the plant. They
will probably remain there fer some
time TO come.
CAPTAIN w. w. Watson. Jr.. of the
ordnance department, administration
and %disbursing officer at h plant
said that he. co., was in doubt as To
the exact amount Of explosives at the
plant at the present time. He said
that largo quantities of ammonium
nitrate, a component part OF amatol,
were being dissolved by the danny
weather. n that he believed the
amount of explosives there now to be
a negligible quantity n incapable or
causing any great damage. He said
that he thought there was on cause for
any fear as to the future explosions AZ
the plant.
Captain Watson said that he under
stood the plant was to be used as a
government arsenal, for the storage OF
non-explosive materials. but that he
had no direct information as to WHAT
would rome there or how extensive the
arsenal would be. He expects to leave
the plant within a short time and re-
turn to civilian life.

LONG IN HOLY CITY
American Resident Of Jerusalem
for Many Years.
NJ. M. Whetan First to Welcome Brit
ish Troops When They Entered
Was Representative There
Of the Bible Society.

Although It is a rear since A'lenbys
victorious army entered Jerusalem,
and the greatest Christian shrine in
the world was wrested forever from
the clutches of the infidel Turk. one oil
the most striking episodes OF all those
thst marked that entry has only re-
Gently become known.
TO Americans this episode Is OF
especial Interest, since II came as tie
climax OF perhaps the most picturesque
Of all the many services that nave
been rendered by the allied nations,
and to humanity generally. by individ-
ual Americans, from Gerard and Brand
WhItlock down, since the beginning or
the var.
For nearly three years, or from
early In 1915 until the deliyersnce OF
Jerusalem in December, 1917, n OF
the Oldest and most famous OF British
organizations remained in unbllssfui
ignorance as to what had become of
It's depot" in the Holy City. This or
ganIzation Is the British and Foreign
Bible society, which like Its great SIS
ter organization In the United States,
exists for the purpose of distributing
the Good Book among Christians In
every part OF the world.
In February, 1913, or o o after
Turkey threw In her lot with the cen
trail powers, the Bible soclety's depot
In Jerusalem, which contained many
thousands Of volumes, had TO be aban-
doned hastily. The workers there
were brought to Egypt on an American
warship. From that day until quite re-
Gently nothing whatever was known re-
q, ding the fate of the depot or its
contents. II was assumed that both
had probably been destroyed by the
Turks. But then anne a letter from
the society's secretary at Port Said III
closing one from the commander or
the London Scc+tlsh, the first British
regiment to enter the Holy City. In
this officers letter the striking story
was told OF how u venerable American
resident OF Jerusalem. by name NJ. Nj.
Whelan, came forward spontaneously
after the abandonment of the Bible
soclety's depot. took up his residence
therein and courageously "carriel on
as its custodian.
at may interest you TO know this
officer wrote, ''thst as I entered Jeru'
salem with the first troops, l was met
by a quaint old American. m Whs
len, seventy years of age, who told ne
he represented the Bible society. and
presented me with r beautiful copy OF
the Scriptures"
Beyond the fact that NJ. NJ. Whelsn
il a naturaliEed Irish citizen of the
United States. and that he had been
living In Jerusalem for several years
before the war. little is known by the
Bible society at present regarding the
picturesque character to whom 1t owes
SO great a debt OF gratitude. II IL not
even known from what part OF the
United States lie comes. The society
has. however. received a photograph
OF its venerable American benefactor,
which shows him to be a truly patri-
archal type.

The carly completion Of a tunnel I'M

Germany Has Los. Mexican Trade.


All the drinking glasses and most
of the Jewelry sold in the Salinas Cruz
district OF Mexico are OF American
manufacture. according to a recent re-
port from Norton +. Brand, United
States consul at Selinas Cruz. Prior
20 the war all the jewslry and glass
ware were imported from Germany
and Spain. The var has eliminated
Germany entirely from the hexiesn
markets and the activity OF American
business men has been SO great that
imports from Spain have been mate
rally reduced.
But Mr.. Brand warns American
manufacturers that the gob!ets and
tumblers they ship TO Mexico are too
small. The tropics are a thirsty cline
and Mexleans drink deeply. Mr.. Brand
declares IL American merchants do not
send In larger glasses. their wares viii
be driven from the Geld when Euro
pean supplies are again available aft
er the war. He urges upon American
business men the necessity OF studying
the needs OF the Aexlesn trade.

HAD Good POINTS
Hot Tempered Woman Evidently
Not Altogether Bad.
Surely No Hlgh-7Ieed Lawyer Could
Have Surpassed Pathetic Plea

Her Her Liberty.

There was a negro family living In
Bowling Green. KY. The wife had
a VIGOROUSLY ungovernable temper,
usually taking 1t Out on her husband.
who was meek and lowiy. On this oc-
casIon she struck him with q skillet,
inflicting a wound SO painful and dam
gerous as to necessitale uis having to
be taken to the hospital for treat
ment. The neighbors. knowing the
violent temper OF he wife, and the
cruel treatment she had inflicted upon
her husband for such a long time,
were so outraged they could endure 1t
no longer, and procured a warrant Tor
her arrest on the charge of assault
with a deadly weapon.
The husband sat through the trial,
giving rapt attention TO Its every de-
tail. The case vas handed over TO
the jury and after very brief delibera-
ton 1t brought in a verdict of guilty.
The old darkey husband rose and
said:
=. "Marse ledge, | don't reckon MOTH
ing a ole Niger could say would make
much diffunce, but | would lax to say
a word before you send the old oman
to the penItenshy. She's always been
