oRANTwooD BAPTIST CHAPEL
Church Anniversary

The congregation of the Grantwood
Baptist Chapel, Lawton avenue and
trolley line, had it's largest attendance
and most inspiring meeting on Sunday
November / which time marked the
end of the first year of it's most useful
existence. Every seat was taken and
many had to stand up during the en-
tire service. Special music by Miss
Hewke and Mrs. Tonkin, and the
quartet, consisting of Mrs. Peter, Miss
Wolder, Mr.. Mather and Mr.. Scheurle.
The Rev. Koffend, prominent evan
gelist of New York City, had charge
of the meeting. His sermon was one
of the best ever heard in this section.
You could almost see the Christ in
his face when he tried to bring the
congregation face to face with their
Lord and Saviour, showing how Jesus
had lived, labored and suffered for us
and pleading with the sinners to come
and accept his free salvation. Rev.
Koffend brought many tears forward.
At the close of the sermon everybody
was happy and thankful for the privi-
lege in spending such blessed and
useful hour in the chapel.

doors the rooms festooned in orange
and black, with pumpkins, skulls, cats,
etc, and an appropriately decorated
table lent festive air to everything,
which was well carried out in the
ensuing games and stunts.
There was not dull moment all
the evening and laughter was uncon-
trolled amid the various stunts in
which the most dignified citizens par
ticipated. Fortunes created fun, the
nut race was the funniest thing in
Grantwood for many a day, the for
true stunts were performed with
spirit and these with other games
earned good appetite for the de-
licious homemade doughnuts, the
cider, nuts and apples which were
served by the committee and a
ghost"
The closing scene was the impromp-
tn continued story around the fire
by quartette with the lights turned
out, and even the thrills were comic!
Every one enjoyed the evening which,
too, promoted better acquaintance
and the Department can add some
more dollars to it's contribution to the
club house fund

Lucky George" Is Not
Dazzlcd by Fortune

San Francisco, Cal.-GeOrge Camp
bell Carson, fifty-eight, former miner
lay on a cot in the University of Cali
fornia hospital here and tried to figure
out just how he will spend millions OF
dollars-variously estimated at from
100000 to $20,O00,000.
Convalescing from a minor illness
Lucky George" has been informed of
a decree Of the United States Supreme
court, which upheld his judgment of
$20,000,O00 damages against the Amer
lean Smelling & Refining company for
infringement of patent
'I'm not surprised" Carson said, but
the light in his eyes told more truly
the dawn of sudden realization that
he, once known as desert rat" now
ranks among the potentially wealthy.
His nurses pictured travel, yachts,
motor cars, town home and a coun-
try mansion, liveried servants, obsequi-
Gus followers-everything that money
could buy as the outcome of his sud-
den wealth.
"No," said Carson. "All I want to
do now is to develop my interest in
science. All my life ! have been in
terested in science. Now l guess /
ought to have enough resources to go
into it and conduct original research
work in physics
I've always wanted a little work
shop and laboratory. Now I'm GO
ing to have them. With that little
well-who knows what |
may be able to do? Maybe something
that will result in good to humanity.
Worldly things? No. I'm not much
interested. OF course l may do a
little traveling-see few things that
might not have seen otherwise, but
most of all want to put in my time
in my laboratory and prove to myself
and the world that the dreams I've had
were real"

CREEK INDIANS
USED NO JAILS
Lash and Gun Constituted
Only Penalties.

Okmulgee, Okla.--The ancient whip
ping tree and the old capitol of q
vanished Indian nation still are doing
service in this CITY,
In the heart of Okmulgee stands the
council house of the Creek nation
erected in 1878. The Young Mems
Christian association and the chamber
of commerce have their headquarters
in the building, and a bus line uses
one corner for an Office.
The building and its grounds occupy
a block in the center of the business
district. Among the numerous trees
on the grounds are two where the exc
cutions and the legal whippings took
place
The Creeks had no jails. They had
only two methods of punishment
whipping and shooting. The punish
ment for robbery, for instance, was 80
lashes for the first offense, 100 fashes
for the second, and death for the third.
In cases of execution, the condemned
Indian was tied to the tree and shot
Damage suits were settled in cash,
work or 80 lashes on the bare back.
The council house is a two-story
building of native sandstone On the
first floor were the departments Of
government on the second, the legis-
lative halls
The Creeks were, one Of the five
civilized tribes moved by the govern
ment from the southeastern part Of
the United States to this territory
about 1880.
They established here a complete
system of government, similar to the
American republic, but with much sim
pier forms.
Their legislature was composed Of
the "house of kings" (senate) and the
"house of warriors" The head of the
state was the principal chief, elected
for four years by a majority vote of
the males of the nation. His assistant
was the second chief elected in the
same manner
There was high court and a dis
trict court, each district having a pros
ecuting attorney, judge and COM
pany of light horsemen, who were in
the nature of mounted police.
The council house belongs to the city
of Okmulgee. Efforts are now being
made among the remaining Indians to
move the building to a national Indian
park planned near here.

opening with prayer was favorably
voted on as was that for the new
bulletin sent out for the first time
to every club member. This contains
more news than did the cards intro
duced last season and it is hoped that

operative means of communication
between the several clubs of this vi
cinity.
After other matters of business
were transacted, reports were briefly
given by Mrs. Hail. Mrs. Burns, and
Mrs. Donaldson, from the Federation
Convention, and the Sixth District

Mrs. Lansdowne's Testimony

Yesterday Mrs Lansdowne told
the Mitchell court>martial that an at,
tempt had been made by Capt. Paul
Foley in October to influence her
testimony before the Shenandoah
board of inquiry, to the end that the
Navy Department might be white
washed.
Assume, for the moment, that this
statement is true What does it dis,
close? 1t discloses a despicable effort
by trial Judge Advocate to rig the
evidence in advance of an inquiry in
such a manner as to come to the res
footed in what was either lie or a
culpable ignorance of facts.
But ought Mrs. Lansdowne's testi,
mony to be taken at face value?
Ought it be weighed against denials
from the Department of the Navy?
1t is here that the most disagreeable
point about the whole affair intrudes.
For, in plain words, if the Secretary
of the Navy has been caught once in
a misstatement, what is the Navy De-
partment's word worth in a second
statement regarding the same point at
issue?
Secretary Wilbur stated on Sept 9
that Commander Lansdowne never
protested against the shenandoah 81
flight in person or by communication
to me or any one in the department,
and, on the contrary, expressed his
satisfaction with it to his superiors and
associates. Yet when the navy's files
were examined, it was definitely es>
tablished that Commander Lansdowne
had protested bitterly and had pro,
tested twice.
The great evil in Secretary Wilbur's
performance is not that he misstated
facts in an attempt to whitewash his ad,
ministration but that having misstated
facts he destroyed public confidence in
the good faith of his own word and
the word of those colleagues who are
involved in this affair with him.
That is why retention of Secretary
Wilbur in his present post is an i'm,
possible effort to blunder through
crisis to a happy ending, That is why,
for the sake of public confidence in
the navy's word, Secretary Wilbur's
resignation should have been asked
for on the very day when publication
of the Lansdowne letters gave the lie
to him His resignation, long over,
due, is still in order.-New York

SHIP is TOWED
BY BIG WHALE
Alaskan Monster Weighs
About 100 Tons.

Tacoma, Wash.-The greatest whal-
ing season ever experienced at Alas
kan stations has been recorded this
year, declare shippers, whose vessels
are arriving here for winter wharfage.
Close to 500 whales were caught and
processed during the summer. Whal-
ing. which began off Kodiak island
May 1, kept Is ships busy for months,
about 10000 barrels of oil and an enor-
nous quantity of fertilizer being pre-
pered for shipment. No ambergris was
found this season.
The largest whale harpooned this
season measured SO feet. The worlds
record whale is 90 feet inches.
The Alaskan monster, weighing about
100 tons, Strengthened out 400 feet Of
heavy hauser, besides towing the whal-
er seven miles before firing out.
Whales were attracted to Alaskan
waters this season, it is believed by
large schools of small fish, squids and
halibut. Years when these species are
abundant, whales are numerous Sperm
whales arrived in large numbers.
1t Is now thought the feeding
grounds for sperm and finback whales
lies off the coast of Africa, and by the
end of october practically all of the
Alaskan leyiathans will have started
for winter haunts.
The whale oil from the seasons
catch has been marketed In the East
with soap makers, steel and leather
manufacturers.
A shipment of 300 salted whale
tails were brought down destined for
Japanese markets where this section
of the mammal Is as popular as turkey
