Prohibitionist, Dies at
Ripe Age; Nearly 100

LONDON, Feb. 22.--Rv +he Asso-
ciated Skiing Khama, the
oldest sovereign in the world, and
pioneer prohibitionist, is dead at
Serowe, Bechuanaland. His exact
age was unknown, but he was be-
lieved to have been nearer 100
than go. ..
Khama, as ruler of the Bamang-
waite tribe, became a Christian when
a young man and throughout his
life was influenced largely by Eng
lish missionaries. After ascending
the throne, King Khama decided to
suppress alcoholic liquors. His eff
forts, however, We're not entirely
successful, for the king was obliged
to contend almost continuously with
bootleggers. The white settlers espe-
cially caused trouble. and, incensed
by their defiance of his repeated
warnings, King Khama finally ban
ished them from his kingdom.

Aggressive Policy
In All Large Cities

CLEVELAND, Feb. 21.-Forma-
ton of unions in all cities of 10000
population or over, in which there
are three Methodist Episcopal
churches, is the aim of the council
Of cities of that denomination, in
sixth annual session here, Rev. M.
P. Burns, of Philadelphia. declared
today.
DR.. Burns is superintendent of
the department Of city work of the
Methodist Episcopal church, at Phil
adelphia, and is a director of the
convention. 1.-THE church retreat in
American cities has been stopped,
and the advance has begun" Mr..
Burns said.
The policy whereby the Methodist
Episcopal church and other denomi-
nations are changing city church
work from a liability to an asset
has its important factors, DR.. Burns
said.
The first consists in the city union
through which the churches are
united in a denominationaI pro-
gram.
The second consists in making
each church responsible for min
istering to the people. in it's neigh
borhoQd. Every church thereby be.
comes a community church.
The third is cooperation with
other denominations os that through
the location or consolidation of
churches, over churching may be
reduced and strong, well-manned
churches may be developed.
This mornings session was de-
voted to the work of the church for
the immigrant.

fully every historical detail.
To insure that the attack be histori-
cally correct, Mr.. Smith availed him
self Of the services Of an old Indian
scout, Pop" King. King, who IS
ninety years old, is the sole survivor
of a group that started to California
in the gold rush of 1S49. All the
others were killed off during an In
dian attack, in which King, thought
dead, was scalped. He was rescued
later and brought back to health.
King made the trip when he was
seventeen years old. According to
his story, the vanguard of the train
hurried back to the main body when
the Indians were discovered, evident
ly on the war path. The defense was
speedily formed by drawing up the
carts into circle. Boxes. trunks,
bedding and other baggage were
packed into the openings between
wagons.

The first large consolidation of che
