Another great audience greeted the
Sunshine Eyangelists last night at the
Central Christian church. The spirit
of the meeting was magnificent from
the very beginning. After stirring
song service led by Mr.. Richards, Dr..
Kellems spoke on the subject, The
PRAYER that Works. 1t was a great
message. He brought out clearly the
relation of prayer to the lige OF the
Christian.
DR.. Kellems began by saying that no
meeting could be great without an I'M
derstanding of the subject of prayer.
Our people, as a people, have dwelt
much on doctrine and perhaps have not
given enough emphasis to the teach
ing of prayer The Bible is full of
promises to the faithful Christian.
ASK and it shall be done unto you,

things whatsoever We shall axis IN

replied that Kersner's father had testi-
fled that his son immigrated from
Russia in 1882 and that he was born
in 1865. He was naturalized by the
Monroe county state court at Roches-
ter in 1884. The law provides that an
alien must be at least 81 years old
and have been in the country at least
five years before naturalization,
Weinberger accused the government
of lack of fair play in not giving Miss
Goldman a chance to prove that Kers-
ner's father reckoned dates by the
Jewish calendar and had been mis-
taken about his sons birth and the
date of his arrival from Russia.
Mr.. Caffey said that Miss Goldman
could not have been a party to the
decentralization proceedings, because
the statutes only permitted the man
upon whom citizenship had been con-
ferred to contest the suit, and that no.
tice had been served on kersner by
publication.
She never appealed to have that
Judgment vacated even if they were
married" he said.
The other contentious Of Weinberger
as to the unCOTSl VI NC
portation were termed by Mr.. Caffey
frivolous and absurd
These claims were: First, that the
anarchy statutes of 1917 and 1913 vio-
lated the first amendment to the
United States constitution providing
that congress shall pass no law abridg-
ing freedom of speech or of the press;
second, that when his clients were ad-
mitted to the United States more thar
80 years ago, they were not anar-
chists and that to deport them now
would violate ex-post facto inhibitions
of the constitution; third, that the
government could not deport them Il
soviet Russia, as it has announced 1t:
plans to do, because the United State:
has not recognized the bolsheviki.
In reply Judge Meyer said that TIT
anarchy statutes had already beer
held constitutional by other courts
that congress could pass at any TIM
anv law it saw fit regulating aliens
and that the court had no Judlcla
knowledge of soviet Russia.
Elaborate precautions were taken u
guard the court during the hearings
Dozens of policemen and plain clohtes

RESOLUTION
TO PROHIBIT
GERMAN DYES

An emergency resolution, to pro-
tect the American dye industry, was
passed by senate and house few days
ago, by which a strict embargo is
placed on the importation Of dyestuffs
and coal tar products until January
10, 1920. This is to prevent an in
rush of German dyes as soon as peace
is formally proclaimed.
In speaking of the great quantity
of dyes Germany Is reported to have
ready for shipment when she is per-
mitted to resume commerce with other
nations. Representative Green of Iowa.
acting chairman Of the ways and
means committee, said:
/ TT is only natural that much of
this supply would be sent to the Amer
lean markets to wipe out the new
American industry now struggling to
its feet, which with proper protection
should be a formidable competitor In
years to come"
A permanent bill intended to keep
out the German dye products is ex-
pected to have become law by Jan
Is. This has already been passed by
the house.
