FOREIGN MISSIONS

One of the interesting
events of the week in Alex :,
andria was the annual Fan
Rally of the Woman's Mis-
sionary Society of the Meth
odist Church, South. The
society was fortunate in hay
ing.as it's guest of honor on
the occasion Mrs. T. E: i.
Morton, who, with her hus-
band, Rev. T. E. F. Morton,
has been engaged for many
years in missionary work IN
India. Rev. Mr.. Morton was
born in Madras, Southern
India, and is known as a
leading Hindustanee scholar.
Mrs. Morton, born Emma
Garthwait, by which maiden
name she was well known IN
missionary fields, was train
ed from childhood for mis-
sionary work, and was ap-
pointed, after graduation at
the Hephzibah Bible Train
ing School, as missionary to
Poona, Bombay Presidency,
India. Within a year she
married Mr.. Morton, and the
devoted couple have spent
the best part of their lives IN
the land of the Vedas, where
they have done the work OF
the Master and preached MS
Word.
The labors Of the foreign
missionary have not always
been accorded the recognl-
ton they merit. Living tor
the most part in a country
hostile to the beliefs and
practices of Christian civil
cation. their daily existence
is one of trial and self-ab-
negation. If there is ever a
remuneration Of the world
and the flesh, it is certainly
known to our missionaries III
foreign lands. 1t is a matter
of history, too, that their
labors, while in a spiritual
field, have a practical effect
in acquainting the natives
with the manners and GUS
toms of antipodal countries.
The diplomat follows the
missionary, and trade and
traffic follow the diplomat.
The former paves the way
for treaties and conventions:
These, in turn. lead to social
and business intercourse,
which tread the paths Of
Peace, and the world be-
comes more neighborly. Su-
spicion is stilled, liberation
is cultivated, and thus the
aims of civilization are
furthered and expanded.
But what stories of self
sacrifice, of constant denial
and deprivation, could be
told of these noble men and
women who devote their
whole lives to the spreading
of the highest of all Gospels.
'Peace hath her victories no
less renowned than war. ;"
And we say unhesitatingly
that peace hath no victories
more glorious than those Of
the missionary who carries
the Christian Bible in one

FOURTEEN MONTHS
FOR CARL FORD
tey The Associated Press,.

ATLANTA, Ca, March 19.-Car,
Divers Ford. principal in a matrimo-
NAL triangle, entered another plea OF
guilty here today-that Of violating the
Mann act-and was sentenced to serve
IA months in the Atlanta federal
prison.
The federal charges resulted from
his bringing to this country an Eng
lish woman he met in France and
whom he welded although already
married before he left this country.
On returning to America, Ford was
married a third time to the daughter
of Florida banker. 1t was agreed
that the recent state sentence of IL
months would be allowed to run con-
currently with his term in the federal
prison. His counsel pleaded that for
him to serve on the chain gang as
provided in the state sentence prob
ably would be fatal in view of his
physical condition.

OF the nine watchmen who were
trapped in the structure by the blast
one is known to be dead and four are

The elevator, which consisted of q

$10,000,000 and was operated by the
Armour Grain company.
The explosion was due, it was said
by officials who made an early inquiry
to a fire that statred in a loading
chute. The blaze set fire to the dust
filled air and the resulting blast rent
asunder the big tower, releasing thou
sands of bushels of grain.
So great was the force of the xe-
plosion that it hurled great concrete
blocks for hundreds of feet and de-
rallied a freight train which was
standing on track beside the eleva-
tor The few men in the elevator are
thought to have been trapped by the
flood of blazing grain, but up to a
late hour tonight only one body had

in the world having a capacity of
10000, 900 bushels. 1t stood in an iso-
lated spot on the southern outskirts
of the city, the nearest dwelling be-
ing more than a block away.
The force of the explosion which
occurred shortly after six o'clock was
so great that it was felt miles away
and shattered every window within a
radius of eight blocks of the elevator.
The elevator was made up of a
number of concrete towers one Of
which was rent asunder releasing

the search for persons believed to
have been in the structure at the time

w hite's Deci sion
Must Stand In the
Boundary Dispute
(Ry The Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, March t9.-The de-
, cision of Chief Justice White IN the
Panama a-Costa Rican boundary dis
put must be the unalterable position
of the United States government, "
President Harding declared today in
reply to a personal appeal from Pres
ident Porras of Panama. a
Although he expressed regret that
Panama should feel wounded by the
White decision, described in Senior
Porras message as painful and hu-
initiating" Mr.. Harding declined to
consider any other basis of settlement
and asserted that the recent state de-
partment note insisting on enforce
ment of the decision had his hearty
approval
The exchange between the two ex-
ecutives was in the nature of an ad
interim discussion while the state de-
partment awaited Panama's reply to
its note. Costa Rica already has ae-
cepted the White award, and some
definite answer from Panama now is
expected within a few days.
In making his appeal, President
Porras recalled the expressions of
friendship for Panama given by Mr..
Harding last November during his
visit there as president-elect and
voiced a hope that the Panaman peo-
pie might not be disappointed in their
faith in the new administration at
Washington. To this President Hard
ing replied by renewing his avowals
of cordiality, but added that the ex-
ercise of friendly relations always
must be tempered by justice.
The message from the Panaman
president was received late yesterday
and, before replying, Mr.. Harding held
a long conference today with Secre
tary Hughes of the state department.
It is understood that they not only
went over in detail the latest infor-
nation regarding the situation between
the two Central American republics,
but also discussed broad questions of
policy involved in final determina-
ton on the position taken by this gov
ernment.

WILLIAMSON, w. Va, March 15.-
After two hours and half of delibera-
tion, the jury considering the evidence
in the Matewan battle trial reported
that it had reached no decision. The
report was given to Judge r. D. Bailey
at 9:15 p. M, and he ordered court ad-
journed until o'clock. Monday morn
ing.
The fate of the 16 mountaineers,
defendants in the Matewan battle case,
rested in the hands of the jury tonight
Ten months ago today the historic
gun fight between residents of the
mining town and a force of Baldwin
Felts detectives, out of which grew the
present trial, was staged. Ten men
were killed in the battle and the 16
men who await the verdict of the jury
tonight were tried on indictments in
connection with the death of one vic
tim of the shooting, Albert c.. Felts,
leader of the Baldwin party.
The jury retired at sos p. m. to
consider the evidence and, as the IL
men filed from the room, it was re-
marked that 10 months ago to the day
and the hour, the battle was raging in
the streets of Matewan.
Examination of several hundred
talesmen, the calling Of scores of wit :
nesses. numerous postponements for
sundry reasons and arguments of the
array of counsel engaged by the de-
Tense and prosecution occupied 46 days.
and when the final address to the Jury
was closed late today, it found those

Today's session of the court was
marked by the presentation of two
final arguments, one for the defense
and the other for the prosecution. j.

addressed the jury throughout the
morning, after which Attorney San.
ders, states counsel, made a four-hour
argument for the prosecution.
Court adjourned at $50 p. m. until

opened the jury was not ready to re-
port.
In the hope that verdict would be
returned before the dawn of another
day, Judge r. D. Bailey ordered that
the court remain in session and await
word from the jury room.
The industrial controversy in the
Mingo coal field was referred to by Mr..
Commit in his argument. He declared
that the coal operators did not want
the union so the shrewd detective
agency struck at the vital point in the
miners lives, by striking at what they
work and slave for-their homes.""
He said that monument should be
