CONTINUE REVIVAL
FOR ANOTHER WEEK

The special revival meetings being
conducted in the old Republican
building at the corner of Second
street and Adams win be continued
another week with Evangelist Alfred
G. Carr in charge. The interest has
been growing and the attendance such
as to indicate that the meetings
should not close at this time. Nearly
score were forwarded last night at
the close of one of the most stirring
and direct messages delivered during
the series. The evangelist set forth
the eternal perpetuity to heaven with
all it's joys and bliss, and contrasted
the eternal suffering of the wicked
for having spurned the love, mercy
and goodness Of God in this proba-
tionary life.
The REV. Mr. Carr is one OF the
most earnest evangelists the local
assembly has had and his direct way
of setting forth the scriptures is in
deed unique.

EDUCATION DEF F|NED
IN BACCALAUREATE
SERVICE At SCHOOL

With an enlightening dissertation
on the true meaning of an education
in its broadest sense, the Rev. Arthur
Lee Odell held an enrapt audience
for more than an hour at the high
school auditorium last night when
the annual baccalaureate service for
the 1922 graduating class was held.
Ministers of the city who assisted
the Rev. Mr.. Odell last night were
the Rev. c. NJ. Aker of the Central
NJ. E. church. who offered the invo-
cation: the Rev. ]. A. Stave!y OF the
First NJ Z. church, who pronounced
a prayer; the Rev. e. H. Shanks of
the First Baptist church. who read
the Scriptures, and the Rev. l.. s.
Jones of the Bethel NJ. e. church,
who gave the benediction.
Education consists of something
more than a mere gathering together
of information the Rev. Mr.. Odell
told his audience; it must comprise
a true understand and adoption of
honesty, sincerity, integrity and sery-
ice or it loses its purpose.
1.-The student who fails to appre-
ciate these qualities after complet-
ing a course in high school or col
lege has failed completely to acquire
the education for which he is pre-
speaker declared.
Regarding criticism sometimes di-
rected against an institution of learn
ing in regard to the character of its
students, the Rev. Mr.. Odell carried
the cause for all such blame back to
the home.
Character is built through the
medium of the school, the state, with
its police force. til church and the
home" he said, ''but the most i'm
portaut of these is the home. 1t is
the vital point III the building of
character and any waywardness in
the boy or girl student can generally
be traced back quite directly to the
parents"
Special music by the chorus choir
of the Presbyterian church, under
the direction of Mrs. Bessie Fox
Davis. proved an artistic treat which
thoroughly harmonized with the
theme of the services. This program
included:
Introit, Gloria, from Twelfth Mass
................ ............. mozart
Anthem. 1 Will Magnify Thee, o
God ......... .Snackiey
Duet Break, Divine Light. -. Allitsen
Mrs Davis and Mr.. Heard
So interested did the audience be-
come in the carrying out of the en-
tire program that the Rev. Mr.. Odell
found cause to comment upon the
somewhat unusual aspect of a senior
class giving undivided attention to
the services carried out in its behalf.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.--Con-
gress received today the offer of the
Alabama Power company for pur-
chase and lease Of the governments
nitrate and power projects at Muscle
Shoals, Ala.
In referring the proposal to the
legislative body for final decision.
involving its acceptance or rejection
as a competitor to the offer already
made by Henry Ford for the same
properties, Secretary Weeks made no
specific recommendation other than
to say indirectly he believed the new
offer should be referred to the COM
mittees OF the senate and house now
engaged upon consideration OF the
Ford offer.
The letter OF transmission ad-
dressed to the president of the sem
ate and speaker Of the house con-
tained IL comments upon as many
provisions of the power company's
proposal. All Of these, the war sec
retary said. either were desirable or
advantageous to the governments
interests In the disposal to be made
of the Muscle Shoals properties.
Delivery Of free power to the gov
eminent or its purchase by the COM
needed. as proposed by the Alabama
company, was said to be an advan-
tAge in that it would offer a return
on money already invested by the
government.
Sale of the Warrior steam plant
and other facilities for $5.000,000, less
the cost Of locks and navigation
structures estimated at about $2,-
500. 900, as proposed in the offer, the
latter added. would permit sub
/ 'gtantial return on the investment
made and serve also to keep them
in public service.
Maintenance OF the dam, power
plant and locks at the companys ex-
pense also was characterized as
distinct advantage to the govern
reference OF the offer probably
will be made tomorrow in the senate
to the agricultural committee and In
the house to the military AFFAIRS
committee. In the latter body only
two witnesses remained tonight to
testify before the investigation OF
the Ford proposal IS ended; Iney
were Gray Silver, Washington rep
resentative of the American Farm
Bureal Federation, and representa-
tive to be designated by the Alabama
Power company.
Chairman Kahn announced 1t was
his plan to hear Mr.. Silver tomorrow
and conclude with the power COM
pany's spokesman before the week
end. In that event, he said, hearings
would begin Immediately on the new
offer and continue on any other the
secretary might submit and have 1t

Operators Heard
In Wage Dispute
With Railroads

CHICAGO. Feb. 21--E. J. Msnion,
president of the Order OF Railway
Telegraphers. today told the United
States railroad labor board that an
eight hour day for railroad tele-
graphers without a punitive overtime
provision. amounted to the estab-
lishment of a longer working day.
Today's hearing involved a dispute
between the telegraphers and 6S rail-
roads over rules. the principal points
of contention being what rules in
question are to cover the basic day,
over time and the split trick.
Mr.. Mansion, criticised the split
trick on the ground that workmen
were kept on the job for long periods
OF time.
Representative of carriers entered
particular opposition to the elinnna-
ton of the split trick. maintaining
that in some instances where only two
trains were run on a small braneh
line, it was necessary to have the
split trick or to employ two tele-
grathers TO do the work. The hearing
will be continued tomorrow.

NEW YORK. Feb. GA plot to
mulct the "Booboisie" which might
have been invented by an author of
get-rich- quick fiction was revealed
by the Burns detective agency here
today with the arrest at Mobile, Ala,
Of seven alleged wire tappers believed
to be members of a gang which for
merly operated in New York.
As told by Sherman Burns, Barney
Knapke, an Ohio farmer, was the
chosen dupe of the gang. He was
wintering at an Orlando, Fla, resort
when, a week ago, he struck up q
park bench acquaintance with fell
low resorter.
The next day they were strolling
along the beach together when they
discovered large wallet half buried
in the sand. Together they opened
it. They found $3.50 in cash, a $4,000
fidelity fond and certain credentials.
A man came hurrying toward them
a few moments later The wallet
was his; he had lost it. When the
finders refused to accept the $3.50 as
a token Of gratitude. he offered to In
vest it for them in stocks on which
he had tip.

next il amounted to $500 and the
third day Farmer Knapke and his
acquaintance were told to call at the

winnings-S105,00o
They called; saw the money; had it
in their hands for moment But as
they prepared to carry it away, the
head of the exchange" detained
them.
Gentlemen, the money IS yours"
he said, but before pay it to you !
must require that you deposit $4,000
with me as evidence of your respon-
sibility."
Farmer Knapke gladly put up
$4,000. His friend didn't have any
money, so Knapke journeyed to his
Ohio home for the remainder. There
his lawyer convinced him that he
was being defrauded. He came to
New York, consulted the detective
agency, and a trap was laid which
resulted in the arrests at Mobile to-
day.
