THE METHODIST
EDUCATIONAL MOVEMENT

That the educational institutions
for which the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, has launched the Edu
cational Movement to raise $780,
600, 900 for endowment and better
equipment are worthy of the great
undertaking is evidenced by the in
terest they have aroused in the
minds of men not only in. the South
land but in the North as well.
The announcement which has just
been made, that the General Educa-
ton Board has offered 100000 to
the endowment of Wofford College,
spartanbarg, S. c., provided $780,
900 is raised by the college between
this and December 81, 1921, is hail
ed with delight by Southern Metho-
dists.
Wofford College is one of the in
situations that is to be benefited by
the Christian Education Movement
of the Methodist Church, South. The
approved askings Of Wofford amount
to 100000. Of this sum, more than
100000 will go to her endowment
thus insuring the offer of the Gener-
al Education Board.
Wofford College is especially IA
vored by the General Education
Board because it is against the poll
cy to give the UNCONVENTIONAL insti-
tutons. DR.. Henry Nelson Snyder,
President of Wofford, however, pre-
sented the cause of the institution
so forcefully to DR.. Wallace Butter
lex, President, and Dr.. E. c. Sage,
Assistant Secretary Of the Board,
they waived the rule, DR.. Butterick
declaring that no other Colleges
cause had so forcefully appealed to
him as that of Wofford.

MAY BE CANDIDATE

Washington, April 23.-The ex'
pected has happened. Some man has
come forth and nominated Col Theo-
dore Roosevelt, Jr., assistant secre'
tary of the navy, for the presidency
of the United States.
Of course that man was coming
forth. For young Roosevelt is assist
ant secretary Of the navy, just as his
father was. Likewise, he should be
president. But there T intermedi'
ate steps which Roosevelt must take
He must head the New York police
and then become governor Of New
York and vice president. All OF
which is possible.
Roosevelt was nominated for the
presidency by Col. Neyle Colauitt Of
Georgia, at present engaged in the
practice of law in Washington. Col
quit was speaking to the Colonel
and Revolutionary societies of the
District of, Columbia. Just why he
interpolated the nomination is not
clear. But it was .interpolated.
There was applause, and some of
those who applauded were' said to
be of Southern extraction. The i'm
preston made on Roosevelt was IN
certain.

HUGE GORILLA HAD
REMARKABLE BRAIN

"
John Danield the dead gorilla, had
no funeral" yesterday. He had so
endeared himself to the circus "big
top" that officials wouldn't think OF
it. Instead of a farce procession the
body was sent unobstrusively to the
American Museum. Of Natural His
tory. There in a few months John
will join in mounted form Jumbo,
P, T. Barnum's famous elephant,
which died a hero in rescuing an
other elephant at a Canadian rail-
road crossing many years ago.
The gorilla is pronounced the best
specimen Of the species obtained by
the museum. H. E.. Anthony, asso-
ciate curator, said other specimens
were only infants in years to the
lamented John. "Mister" Daniel, he
predicted will look splendid when
mounted.
: The brain was removed after i'm
pressions had been taken of the face
feet and hands by Prof. L. Casama-
ior, neudologist. at the College of
Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia.
Only the skin was kept at the muse
um, but later, after serving medical
research, the frame will be returned
and John Daniel reconstructed.
Brain a Splendid Specimen
There is no doubht of the Oar
winian theory" said Prof. Casama-
jor. "This animals brain-.a
splendid specimen-will be a step in
the study of motion formula, what
prompts action, and probably in the
search to determine the gorilla's in
telligence."
Not since the days Of Jumbo has
the circus had such a loss, for John
gave promise of usurping Jumbo's
throne in public popularity. But, for
once, Dexter Fellowes publicity head
of the shows, did not care to make
meat. of the incident. He called it
a tragedy, aside from the financial
loss, for John is reported to have
cost $4,000 saying the animal was
so nearly human he had captivated
all who saw him particularly Mr..
Fellowes.
Director Hornaday of the New
York Geological Garden, who aided
in the vain fight to save Johns life,
said he was as sorry as when Dinah,
a female gorilla that lived at the Zoo
near a year, died. She is now mount
ed at the museum, and a bronze
statue and an oil painting Of her are
in the administration building of the
Bronx wild animals home.
"You IAN say for me-" said DIR.
'Hornaday, "that lonesomeness and
inconsistencies bring on death to cap
tive gorillas. 1t reduces their vital
ity and leaves them prey to disease.
New York's climate, I believe, is not
the real cause, homesickness is. Yes,
I think John Daniel might have
lived a long time with Miss Cunning
ham, whose pet he was in London.
He evidently became attached to her
and did not feel depressed while
near her.

great pity the Ringling shows could
not have exhibited the gorilla for a
few months more all over the coun-
try"

Defends Provisions of Bill
Against Attacks of
Democrats.

Washington, July l3-The house
ran under high pressure today and
tonight in its consideration of the
Fordney tariff bill, in anticipation oi
concluding the general debate tomor-
row.
Outstanding in the discussion was
a defense of the bill by Representa-
tive Green of Iowa. ranking repub-
iican on the ways and means COM
rnittee, who contended that it would
not result in reduction of Amer
ican trade and criticism of several
OF its provisions by Representative
Carew of New York, a democratic
member of the committee.
Mr.. Carew attacked the Ameri-
can valuation policy embodied in the
bill and incidentally he declared that
the country's interest in the tariff was
tagging TO the point where it no
longer regarded congressional action
on the measure in a serious manner.
Representative Hawley of Oregon,
another republican member of the
committee, read statistics to show
that 10000 farmers had left the land
in the last decade and inquired
whether it was not time to let them
know that the government was in
terested in their problems. He cited
the agricultural schedule as an ex-
ample of practical aid

was going Ito kill the fleet again.
No ships could continue in opera

ed, explaining that the "prohibitive
rates" drawn by the republicans
would have that result.
The republicans were also taken
to task by Representative Huddles-
ton of Alamaba for what he de-
scribed as willingness on their part
to open the treasury to the rail-
roads again" The party leaders, he
declared, appeared not to be con-
tent with ''the raids allowed by the
transportation act and would not
refuse the unlimited demands which
the railroads now are making"

the stage for holding "three-party'
peace conference in which Great
Britain, Sim Fein and Ulster will
cndeavor TO compose their differ
ences.
One OF the most convincing indi-
cations of the reality of the hope that
the meeting will result successfully
is the reluctance OF both sides TO

Both parties feel that the situation is
so delicate that a single unfortunate
word might jeopardize the entire
proceeding.

sans. The bishops of Southwark

The government unofficially
sought to encourage the idea today
that Mr.. De Nalera's party had al
ready been in close touch with the
premier, even suggesting that mem-
bers of the party had been at
Chequers Court during the after
room. but Mr.. De Nalera's secretary
