Campaign With Three
Inspiring Sermons

The three evangelistic services
conducted in Newport Sunday by
Rev. Walter C. Carroll were well at
tended. At the morning service
which was held in the Methodist
church, the chu Oh was filled to capa
city, it being necessary to place
chairs in the aisles and in the rear of
the church. A good-sized audience at
tended the special service for women
which was conducted in the Metho-
dist church in the afternoon and the
First Baptist church was filed 20
ovelfowing at the evening meeting.
Rev. Mr.. Carroll chose for his sub
ject in the morning, "If man die,
shall he live again" Ii was the best oi
the three sermons and was. well "e-
ceived. In the afternoon he spoke
on 9TH Glory of Womanhood,' and
in the evening he preached on "EX-
cuses that do not Excuse"
The singing. by Rev. C. E. South
ard was especially fine. His selection
at the morning service was "I Love
Thee" The chorus was the largest
that has been seen during all of the
service.
Several decision cards were signed
Sunday.
The evangelistic meetings will be
conducted another week, it was an
nounced by Mr. Carroll Sunday. The
services will continue to be held vt
the First Baptist church unless the
crowds, which are increasing every
night, become so large that larger
edifce will be required.
'If d man die, shall he live again.
This question, propounded by the pa

The negative, or mateMalistic phil

dissolution Of the body. Matter is

ground of all being. 1t is eternal.

Admiral Sims said the remark was
made lust after he had received his
final instructions from Secretary Dan
iels preparatory to his departure for
England on the eve of the entry of
the United States into the war; He
added, however, that it was not made
in the course of formal instructions
but during conversation in the office
of Rear Admiral A. Palmer, chief of
the bureau of navigation.
Admiral Sims told the committee
that Admiral Benson repeated his adj
monition during conversation the
following day and that he made the
samo remark six months later IN
London. Admiral Sims says he did
pay special attention to the statement
at that time because he believed Adj
milal Benson as intcntly anti-British.
The witness was reluctant to give
the name of the officer but the chair
man insisted. The admiral told the
committee he had always regarded
tho admonition as "a personal pre-
judice on the part of Admiral Benson.
He described the former chief Of op-
erations as can outstanding" honest
man, who has strong convictions and
added: she believed everything Adj
mil'al Benson did during the war was
done conscientiously."
1t was due largely to Admiral Ben
sons confidence in him that he was
selected for the high post he occu-
pied during the war, Admiral Sims
said, adding that in urging his sefec-
ton Admiral Benson incurred the dis
like of many officers senior to Ad-
miral Sims, who desired the post.

ECHOES OF BUYING OF

Judge Morris in United States Dis

opinion granting the motion TO dismiss

Of the International Powder Company,
and Pierre S. dupont Edmund G..

Laffey, Individually. The complainants
averred that certain moneys Of the E..
I. dupont Powder Company had been
Illegally diverted and as holders Of
thirty shares OF common stock OF the
company they asked for an account
ing.
In their reply 10 the suit which was
brought some time ago, the defendants
declared that the district court had no
jurisdiction in the case, the parties in
terested being residents Of other States.
Judge Morris, in his opinion, cited a
decision OF the Supreme Court, uphold
ing this contention in similar case.
Similar action was taken in the case
brought by the same parties against
the dupont company officials as indi-
viduals, the court holding it was with
out authority TO subject the powder
company officers to its jurisdiction.
The McNellys alleged that divert
ing OF funds occurred when the f.
dupont Powder Company absorbed the
International Powder Company.
