PROTESTANT ATTACK
ON SMITH IS DENIED
Raskob Declares Democratic Com
mittee Had Never Believed Church
Hit at Catholicism.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, November 6.-John j.
Raskob, Democratic national chairman,
declared yesterday that the Democratic
national committee had never had any
occasion to know or to believe that
the Protestant Church, or any of its
branches" had authorized, or been re-
sponsible for, any campaign attack
on Gov. Emith because of his Cathol-
icism.
His statement was made to refute a.
charge by the Rev. Arthur w. Brooks,
Episcopal clergyman of Broadchannel,
Long Island, who challenged the Demo-
cratic national committee to produce
proof that any responsible and official
bodies of the Protestant churches" had
attacked Gov. Smith because of his re-
ligion.
Mr.. Raskob took the clergyman into
the press conference yesterday after
noon, and the reporters corroborated
his statement that he had not charged
the Protestant churches with attack
ing Gov. Smith on the religious issue.

sionary Baptist preacher, who was
speaking against the candidates. Of
Gov. Smith and Senator Robinson last

Bogard gained much prominence in
Arkansas recently by his efforts in be-

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

October 20, 1859.-The improvement
long desired oy the residents of the
southeast portion of the seventh ward
the draining of the marsh along
James Creek-has now been completed,
it was announced today, so far as the
city corporation has control; that is,
from the head of the marsh to P street
south.
Residents of this section of the city
look upon this improvement both as a
sanitary measure and as adding to the
value of property. Below street the
tide makes up and the water extends
over a large portion of the grounds
which were recently added to the United
States Arsenal. If the Federal Govern
ment would continue the drainage
ditch through the marsh on its prop
ertv, the tidewater would be confined
to a narrow creek and all that marsh
would be available for improving the
arsenal grounds. 1t is said that the
cost of this additional work would be
very small compared with the benefits
to be derived from it.
James Hooe, a free colored man, was
taken under arrest before Justice Dom
and fined $40 and costs for failure to
comply with the registry law. This is a
law or the CITY corporation, ana IL re-
quires every free negro or mulatto"
within five days after arriving in Wash
ington to record his or her name On
the books of the corporation. Any
such colored person who fails to do this
may not only be fined less than $40 or
more, but may be ordered by the mayor
to leave the city if he considers the
latter course advisable.
Business on the Chcsapeake g. Ohio
Canal at Georgetown is very brisk.
Large numbers of boats are arriving
daily from Cumberland and other up
river points loaded with coal, grain and
-four, limestone, wood. hay and other
products The entire line of the canal
to Cumberland has been repaired since
the recent breaks caused by high water
in the river and is now in good navi-
gable condition.
Owing to the prevailing northwest
gales and the difficulty in obtaining
vessels to freight articles from the
Georsetown wharves, the shipments of
coal this week from Rays dock have
fallen off to only 851 tons. This coal
and other produce shipped from George
town go principally to Northern and
Eastern ports of the United States.

Halloween can be celebrated with
plenty of fun without disturbances,
and it Is this sort of good time that
should be encouraged by parents. Give
the youngsters plenty Of merriment
under good control and they will not
long to do many petty things that are
annoying to the neighborhOd, nor go
to the excess of destruction that some
times follows. Keep the children out
of mischief by supplying them with
fun of the right sort.
To have a children'S Halloween party
start so soon after school closes for the
afternoon that it is all the youngsters
can do to be ready for it is wise pre-
cautionary measure. See that the fun
is lively. Let the children bob for
apples in pals of water until they are
tired of this sport. Have apples suS-
pended by strong cords from the top
of door frames, and let the youngsters
try to see who can get a bite from one
OF. them in the shortest time.
When they tire of these two regula-
tfon Halloween activities, pass around
doughnutS and hobgoblin cookies. The
latter are nothing but round cookies
with currants pressed into them to
form features. The more grotesque
they are the better. The baking will
often distort eyes, nose and mouth,
however regularly the currants may
have been put in beforehand
When their after-school appetite is
appeased, keep up the activities. Make
potato goblins before the children ar
rive. There should be half a dozen
for small party and a dozen for a
large group for every one should be
kept too busy to feel bored. Divide
the company into two sides, stand the
COLLINS up in row at one end of the
room and give each player a shingle
or a piece of wood of like proportions.

a waste paper basket at the other end

Everyday Law Cases
When May Trustee Continue
Business OF the
TestdtoT?
BY THE COUNSELLOR.

Under the will Of Henry Watson his
entire estate was left to friend, John
Wood, as trustee, to pay the income
therefrom to Watson's children.
Wood was diligent and careful and
invested the money to advantage. How
ever. he soon proved to be too diligent.
for instead of closing out the garage
business that Watson had conducted,
Wood continued to operate 1t. The
business failed. and the estate lost
$1,500.
When the matter was brought to the
attention of the court, Wood was direct
ed to repay the estate for the loss, in
spite of his good intentions In the mat
ter, the court explaining the following
rule.
"a trustee may not continue the
business Of a testator unless there Is
specific authority in the trust instru-
ment so to do, or unless he has OBJ
tanned an order of court. 1t is his duty
to close out the business within n rea-
Sonable time and invest the proceeds
in legal securities. Had the testater
desired the trustee to continue the
risk Of business. he would have so pro-
.vided in his will"

A Sermon for Today
Gods Wilderness School.
BIZ REV. JOHN n. GUM.

OUU " 14uCk ACSS 0ClAOVAs
Therefore, behold! will allure
her and bring her into the wilderness,
and speak comfortably unto her. And
I will give her vineyards from thence"
Hos, u14-15.
Here we have God alluring his people
Of Israel away into the wilderness. that
He might speak comfortably unto them.
We all have our wilderness seasons
lonely periods, when life seems dull,
dreary and solitary. 1t is in such sea-
sons that God seems to come closest to
us and to speak to us most tenderly
and comfortably. Indeed, it seems as
close touch with us and speak inti-
mately with us He has to remove us
from life's ordinary interests and eX-
elements into some wilderness Of en-
forced inaction and quiet. In the midst
Of ordinary life we become SO absorbed
in earthly things that heavenly things
are forgotten or obscured. And so God
has to bring us into some desert place
of isolation in order to get cur atten-
ton and give the eternal world a better
chance to command our thought.
God conducts regular school in the
wilderness, and we all need some train
ing in this school. Indeed, until we
have had one or more terms in this
school we are not fully fitted and pre-
pared for life. 1t is here that God
trains and fits his people for the greater
tasks which await them "I will give
her vineyards from thence" Our lives
are always made more fruitful through
the culturing and cultivating we get in
Gods wilderness school,
"Will bring her into the wilderness"
"Will give her vineyards from thence"
Israels wilderness schooling was but
Gods way Of preparing her for more
glorious national life and destiny. Let
us never be impatient when brought
into desert places. A course in Gods
wilderness seminary always makes life
more radiant and blessed.

"YeS, Sah-dat conternental, sab, /

It's a great thing In sound, Jaap,
but not much when it comes to the
teeth, as you perceive. Nevertheless,
we must eat and drink, and our nags
must eat, too-I suppose they may
drink without paying"
''YeS, sab, dat true 'nougl, yah, yah,
yah!" How easily that negro laughed!
"But e cider wonnerful good in dis part
of e country, young masser; just needer
sweet nor sour, den he strong as e jack

any of this good cider of which you
speak2"
You tink, sab, dis part of e coun-
try been talk too much lately bout

II am afraid Patty has been over
done here, as well as in most other

I may observe here that Jaap always
imagined the beautiful creature he had
heard so much extolled and commended
her for her comeliness and virtue was
a certain young woman of this name
with whom all Congress was unac-
countably in love at the same time.

of the room. The basket should be on
its side and covered with brown paper
or calico to look like a cave.
The game is to lift the hobgoblin
with the shingle and carry 1t standing
upright on the wood across the room
and land it in the witch's cave. The
potatoes should be chosen for their
smooth round shape and have features
cut in them. The eyes should have
pepper corns pressed in as pupils and
bit of pimento should supply the red
tongue. Four stout toothpicks should
be stuck in for legs, and the hobgoblin
should remain standing on them as it is
carried on the Shingle across the room.
Give a prize to the child who Is most
successful in the shortest time.
The supper can be simple one as
BELTS Halloween celebrations. It may
consist of sandwiches of various kinds,
pickles and pumpkin pie for the final
course, followed by candies, preferably
home made. Or more of a supper may
be served. Baked beans with sliced
pickles and buttered bread followed by
ice cream cones and candy is one menu
Another Is a baked custard corn pud-
ding with sliced meat and potato chips
and buttered rolls. Follow this with
apple pie and ice cream and candy
afterwards. For centerpiece use a
lighted pumpkin hobgoblin.
When supper is finished have the
company divided into two groups fc
small gathering or four for larger
one. One group goes out, while the
others remain together. The children
who have gone out appear one at
time dressed in a sheet and the COM
pany must guess who the ghost is. It
must not speak and should try to dis
guise walk and figure. Each group
should take its turn in the ghosts
walk. The child who guesses the most
correct names of the ghosts should be
awarded a prize.
