c. OF c. HAD A SPLENDID
MEETING LAST NIGHT
A Good Crowd Attended Banquet at
Hotel Cimarron. and Music
And Speeches Were Fine

The Chamber of Commerce ban
Quet given at the sCimarron hotel
last night was a function which may
be looked back upon as marked
epoch in the affairs of the organiza-
ton and the city of Liberal. The
dinner itself was especially good and
the speeches brought to light broad
vision of Liberal as it is now, as it
should be now and is it ought to be
in the future; a vision which cannot
fail to be an inspiration to the pa
triotic men of the city and county
who were present.
The affair was planned in part for
a pleasant visit between members of
the Chamber and representatives
from the agricultural district of the
surrounding country. Thirty guests
were invited from the farms and
ranches, selected with view of hav-
ing different localities in the county
representa-. The committee in charge
charge could find no dining room
large enough to accommodate the
number desired, so were forced to
limit attendance to 100.
The Hutchinson Chamber of Com
merce furnished the two speakers
from outside, John M. Starr, presi-
ent Of the Hutchinson Chamber and
the Rev. Father M. L. Kahn, rector of
tn Episcopal Church at Hutchinson.
Mr. Starr spoke on "What the
Chamber of Commerce Should Be to
City" and pictured an earnest, I'M
selfish organization, looking always
to the future; giving attention to the
mentab physical and spiritual well
fare of the community; on organi-
zation which should plan for the edu-
cation of the young, for the proper
recreation of all. While his talk was
a very earnest one, it was punctuated
with wit and was highly entertain
ing as we'll as instructive.
Rev. Kahn whom Mr.. Starr brought
with him as the speaker Of the even
ing, made a wonderful address. His
subject as announced was "Amer-
icnism" and in part was an eloquent
appeal for the ideals of the founders
of the nation; for a truer education
for the young, for more helpfulness
and friendship among the people of
each community. The audience felt
that it was listening to inspiring
counsel high ideals and genuine
oratorE Father Kahn spends a great
deal of time working with the boys
Of Hutchinson. He is never too
weary or too busy to devote his TINE
to counseling, teaching and enter
tanning the boys g. his home town,
and his address last night was also
plea for looking to the welfare Of
the community.
Mr.. D. X. Baty, from the north
part of Seward county, who is look
ed upon here as a citizen of Liberal
spoke of how the Chamber of Com
merce may cooperate with the farm

Dispute i'm Church
OF TRANSPORTATION
Is Laid to Rector
Objections to Candidates of
DR.. Houghton, Not Ritual,
Caused 4 designations,
Says Retiring Vestryman

The situation which led to the rcsig-
nation recently of two vestrymcn and
two curates of the Protestant Episcopal
Church of the TRANSPORTATION (Littlc
Church Around the Corncr) in Twenty
ninth Street, near Fifth Avenue, was
attributed yesterday to efforts of the
rector, the Rev. DR.. George Clarke
Houghton, who is sevcnty-scven years
old, to govern the selection of these
officers at the meeting of the congre-
cation held for that purpose on De-
cembcr 5.
The designations were announced
yesterday. W. Dalls Goodwin and Will
liam .sDickcy, vestrymen. and the
Rev. Mr.. Earl C. Cleeland and the Rev.
William Whiting Davis, two Of the
parish curates, were the church Off
cials who sent in their letters follow
ing the meeting.
Mr.. Cleeland has gone to st. Luke's
Church and Mr.. Dickey and Mr.. Good
win have become affiliated with the
Church Of ST. Mary the Virgin, in
Forty-sixth Street, near Broadway, and
ST. lgnatius Church, at West End Ave-
nue. and Eighty-seventh Street, respec-
lively Lyman Rhoades, vice-presi-
dent Of the Equitable Trust Company
has been elected vestry clerk in Mr..
Goodwn's place
Mr.. Dickey denied yesterday that any
changes in the ritual had been advo-
Gated or that such had been responsible
for the designations. Nor had any
high church reforms, so-called, been
suggested, he said.
CDR. Houghton did not approve of
the objections to his list of candidates
for the vestry and a disagreement
and Mr.. Gdodwins, then to the resg
nations of two of the curates," Mr..
Dickey explained. "There was no quar-
rel. 1t was simply difference of
policy. I do not know that any mem
bers of the congregation have left the
church"
The church has been without an
active rector for the last eighteen
months. owing to DR.. Houghton's ill.,
ness. He is at Daytona, Fla. with his
daughter, Mrs. Charles A. Strombon,
where he went after the meeting on
December 5. The rector was said by
friends yesterday to be greatly trou>
bled by the developments within his
church. 1t was added that the Rev.
Dwight Cameron, who comes from
the rectorship of the Church of st.
Michael and All Angels, of Admission.
Ala, to ill one of the curate's vacan-
cies, probably would be elected to the
rectorship, with Dr. Houghton proposed
as rector emeritus.
In DR.. Houghton's absence the parish
affairs are in charge of Bishop Thomas
+. Gailor, of the diocese of Tennessee,
president of the council of the Epis-
cOpal Church.

WASHINGTON, Dec. %. - Ex-
President Wilson celebrated his sixty

evening a number of his more intimate
friends called to pay their respects. A
great number of kilograms and letters,
expressing birthday greetings and con-
gratulations, have been received at the
S Street home of Mr.. Wilson during
the last few days from all parts of the
country. Anon gthe messages were a
few from foreign countries. The for
mer President and Mrs. Wilson took
their usual motor ride through the
parks this afternoon. Earlier in the
day, the former President answered
some correspondence and took some
light exercise.
Rear Admiral Cary It. Grayson,
[ physician to Mr.. Wilson, said his
patient was in better physical condi-
tion than at any time since he became
i'll. He has improved great deal,
DR.. Grayson said, during the last two
months. The physician is permitting
Mr. Wilson to take more exercise and
do more writing than heretofore, on
the theory that such occupations will
be stimulant.

Renewed charges of cruelty, coercion

Renewed charges of cruelty. coercion
and repression were made against the
American military government in
Santo Domingo yesterday by Horace
G. Knowles, of Wilmington, Del, coun-
sci for the deposed Dominican govern
ment and it's citizens. Mr.. Knowles,
formerly United States Minister to
Santo Domingo under President Taft,
arrived yesterday from that country
after appearing before the Senate COM
mittee OF investigation headed by SEN
ator Medill Mccormick, which recent
ly reported favorably on the military
administration.
In addition to the oft repeated
charges against the marines, which he
rehearsed in detail, Mr.. Knowles de-
clared that the loan of S2,500,000 ar
ranged by the military government in
the name of the Dominican people was
contracted for without their consent at
rates of interest ranging from 9.25 to
1870 per cent and that the New York
banking houses which fioated the loan
received 31a per cent discount on
them.
Accuses Admiral Robson
He declared, also, that Admiral Sam
uel S. Robson, the Military Governor
of Santo Domingo, had refused to per-
nit him to communicate with Senator
Mccormick when the latter was leaving
the island, and publicly insulted HIM
The admiral, he said, later ordered him
to appear before him and threatened to
use force unless he came. Mr.. Knowles
said he would prefer charges against
Admiral Robson as soon as he reached
Washington.
Mr. Knowles said the financial affairs
CT the republic were in the hands Of
Lieutenant Commander Arthur H.
Mayo, of the Navy Supply Corps. He
asserted that an order had been re-
Gently issued that the personal ac-
counts of Commander Mayo should be
passed without question. The $780,
GOO loan, he said, was placed in the
hands of the Equitable Trust Company
and Seper G. Co., of this city, and had
the guaranty of the United States gov
ernment back of it,
, Mr.. Knowles declared it was a four
lyear loan with drawings every six
months. The bonds in the first draw
would pay 1870 per cent and the re-
tnainder scaled down until the final in
terest rate was 9A per cent
Concerning atrocities, Mr. Knowles
itsisted that while Senator McCor-
ntick's committee was in Santo Do

while some of the evidence was being
presented. Mutilated Dominicans testi-
fed in person, Mr.. Knowles said.
Says Witness Was Manned
He cited the case of Cayo Baez, who
was ordered to give information, which
she declared, he did not have. On fail
ure to answer, according to Knowles,
he was mutilated with machetes that
had been heated in a fire. This was
published in a local Dominican PAM
phiet by newspaper man, Mr.. Knowles
said, and the latter was thrown into
jail.
Mr.. Knowles is to appear again be-
fore the committee in Washington,
he announced and demand that he be
permitted to produce other witnesses
in person before the committee, either
in Washington or Santo Domingo.

They made the trip in a "fivver,"
and the nearest it ever came to being
wrecked was when lion jumped into
the tonneau at time when Mr.. Snow
was driving and had his mind on some
thing else. 1t is not quite clear wheth-
er Mr.. Snow stopped the car and shot
the lion or whether he shot the lion
and then stopped the car. Anyway, Mr..
Snow had the car surrounded by a
cage soon after that so as to avoid
being called upon to do two things at
once.
Mr.. Snow told another story about
stepping out to a water hole forty
miles away from camp, and returning
to find that the hut in which he had
loft his wife and daughter had become
the center of attraction for half a
dozen lionesses. He arrived just in
time to keep one of the more ad-

Woman's Best Bet
Is Marriage, Says
George, Newly Wed
English Novelist Ad mits
Wifehood MayBecome Sub
ordinate Occupation Some
Time i'm Worlds Future

"Woman's best bet is still marriage
said w. l.. George, the English novelist
and feminist, who arrived yesterday on
the Olympic with his bride.
He said this after long dissertation
in which he forecast future in which
a woman's personal career would be-
come as vital to her as to man. and
in which wifehood would become sub
ordinate occupation.
but, for the present, marriage still
is the chief career open to women.
And, as l have often said, bad mar
rage is better than no marriage at all"
Mr.. George proves his mistrust of
celibacy by his own recent marriage.
Mrs. George, his bride of month who
His first wife died in this country last
year.
The subject of Mr.. Georges first
lecture early next month at Carnegie
Hall, he announced, would be "The
Intelligence Of Women"
"Just what is that?" he was asked.
"The intelligence of woman is the
same as that of man, but it is of a
different SORT" he said. "It consists,
perhaps, OF greater personal initia-
tive and lesser social initiative than
IiiaJ OF men. def. logic Is OF q certain
kind. To get out of trouble woman
will think of things that will never
occur to a man. She is more gov
erned by desire than a man. She is
less bound by convention.
ut was H. G. Wells who said that
there was no Mrs. Grundy, but there
was a Mr.. Grundy. 1t is men who
make the laws, and who keep them
Women keep them as far as they wish
and then they find some way around
them"
Another theory Mr.. George set out
to explode is the accepted sentimental
belief that women are creatures o1
mystery. 1t has come about because
men have been too lazy to trouble te
find the processes of women's logic
and SO would rather believe them in
comprehensive.
