C. 0. P. SENATOR'S
GIVE TO BORAH'S
CONSCIENCE FUND
Idaho Man Feels Confident
Money VIII Be Raised
To Repudiate Bonds

WASHINGTON March 16 (R-Two
republican senatorial colleagues were
among the first today to anIwer the
call of Senator Borah of Idaho for a
fund of 100000 to "repudiate" the
contribution of that amount to the
republican campaign deficit in 1923
by Harry F. Sinclair, lessee of Tea
pot Dome.
Senator Cutting of New Mexico
wrote out check for $1,000.
Senator Golf of West Virginia wired
proposal for contributions OF $1,000
each by 100 men ito lift the obliga-
ton of shame" as SenatoSG Borah
described the Sinclair contribution.
From coast to coast came messages
to the Idahoan's office offering help
in his role of campaign funds collec-
tor and while the Ilrst days contri-
buttons did not mount very high he
expressed confidence that the fund
would be raised.
Other contributors today included
Gov. Brewster of Maine, $100; G. A.
Sorensen, Lincoln, Neb $100; Dr.
Ernest Greening, Portland, Ore $100;
and two persons who called at the
senator's office, one leaving $40 and
another 81.
Old guard republican leaders main
tained silence generally as they watch
ed the independent movement OF
Borah to wipe out the Sinclair con-
tribution, move which he first askeu
the n B,ional party to undertake and
which he says he is willing to turn
over to the party for completion if it
so desires.
While he has freely addressed let
ters to republican presidential candi-
dates inquiring of their positions on
prohibition Borah said he was not
going to indulge in personalities in
the effort to raise this fund and for
that reason he was not seeking to
put the candidates on record on his
proposal, but he indicated he would
have no objection to receiving con i.
tributions from them.
Several messages were received the
senator said, asking for instructions
on plans in various parts of the
country to raise the money and to
these he replied suggesting public
meetings for attempts to raise small
amounts from large numbers.
Otherwise, however, he has outlined
no definite campaign for raising the
funds and is depending entirely on
contributions. The telegram from
Senator Golf, who is I'M Atlanta, re-
cuperating from an illness, also sug-
gested that 80 men pay $4,000 each
to meet. the fund.

marked that more may be needed"

LOOTING HALTED
Rigid Restrictions Placed
Upon Those Entering
Ruined Valley


LOS ANGELES, March 16 Up
Because OF a steady increase in
loOting among the ruined homes of
the st. Francis dam flood district
rigid rules today were applied to
keep unauthorized persons off the
stricken area.
All old passes have been taken up
and new ones issued. Even relief
workers and policemen working in
the damaged section of Santa Paula
are required to carry special passes
admitting them to these districts.
Police Officers believe that most Of
the thievery is the work of persons
who came into the flooded region as
the waters began to recede.
TheftS are increasing rapidly be-
cause the task Of policing the flooded
sections is almost impossible, even
with an augmented force of officers.
Camulos Rancho Of historic aSso-
citation with Ramona, !" suffered ex-
tensively through the ravages of the
Santa Clara river flood, according to
word today from Piru.
The rancho borders the Ever a few
miles east of Piru and is the most
famous of all Ventura countys show
places. The flood carried away a
number of small houses occupied by
worklnn on, the rancho. Several lives
were lost here.
The flood waters also destroyed a
$4,000 irrigation system operated by
the rancho and carried away about
so acres of fine walnut grove, but
missed the historic ranch house by a
few yards.
Seven automobiles have been re-
ported as having run INTO the flood
in the Santa Paula area.
Deputy Sheriff Ed Hearne said
that it was probable that some of
the cars on the highway between Piru
and SauguS must have been in the
path OF, the flood
George Mcintyre, of Castaic, said: :
"I heard that the flood was coming
shortly after several automobiles
passed my place on the highway gang
south towards Saugus and NewhalI.
/ went outside and counted the lights
of six machines as they climbed a
short hill before dropping down to
cross the river.
six pair OF lights pointed over
the brow of the hill and sped down
towards the river and the onrushing
water. "I waited fer the lights to
reappear OH the other side OF the
river, put they never appeared"
Deputy Sheriff Hearne declared
that I'VE have every reason to be-

on the bridge at Santa Paula"

sionary in charge of two churches at
Greensboro and Winston, N. C.
In 1918 he was elected suffragan
bishop to serve in one of the three
dioceses in the state of North Car
DINA. 1t was my privilege to cast
vote for him. Later his field widen
ed to the diocese of east Carolina,
then to western Carolina, then to
both the dioceses of South Carolina.
Few of us can grasp just what this
means to any man.
Then, too, Bishop Delaney was
man who had an unusual grasp and
understanding of Negro psychology.
Few, if any, understood and sympa-
thized with youth as he did. He or
ganized in st. Augustine's school
what was called the neighborhood
Sunday school, which numbered sew
eral hundred children of all classes
and kinds He could call every one
of them by his or her first name.
He looked kindly and alphabetically
upon the pranks and caprices of the
youth, even though the joke was on
himself. He would get as big a,
smoker out of prank played on him
self as those who played them.
He was born musician. He train
ed all of the college choirs. He could
play and teach well almost any mus
steal instrument.
DIR. Delaney, as man, was the
embodiment of meekness and Chris
tan piety. He never returned insult
for insult. He was devoted to his
! work and could not be swerved from
duty by any means whatsoever.
Once his oldest son, now DR.. L. T.
Delaney, while mere boy, went hunt
ing. He stumbled, discharging the
gun and shot his hand to pieces. DR..
Delaney was in the school chapel COM
Quoting services when the mistaken
report came to him that his son had
shot his head off. The bishop gave
no sign of outward emotion but pro-
ceeded with the service until finished
then went to his son.
But Bishop Delaney is no more.
That splendid character has passed
on to his rest and his reward. And
now it is up to US who are left to
carry on. Though his body may lay
moulding in the clay, "his works do
follow him" into the lives and min
istrations of those who received their
inspiration from his contact and will
keep alive the fire which Bishop De-
laney kindled.

influence and example reached far
out into the life of not only Church
men, but hundreds outside of his COM
munion. One whose life and example
it would be well for US all to emulate.
That character was the Ri. Rev. Hen
ry Beard Delaney, d. D., bishop suf-
fragan of the six dioceses of the Car
olinas, who has passed into that bless
ed peace which passeth all under
standing.
He was leader in word and deed,
and lived the life of true Christian.
Nothing ever caused him to swerve
in the least from the true spirit of
the trust placed in him. He was
practical and capable. He had q
broad knowledge of and sympathy
with the strength and weaknesses of
the human family. He understood
the pitfalls of life and always came
as an experienced parent to the res
cue of one who seemed near the
brink.
We poor mortals sometimes are in
clined TO question the justice of Prov
idence in removing from our midst so
noble a character and influence as
Bishop Delaney and leaving others
who make no substantial contribution
to the welfare of the human race.

The writer was very intimately as
ISOLATED with DIR. Delaney for over
ten years. / first came in contact
with him in 1903 when / entered st.
Augustine's Normal and Collegiate
institute of Raleigh, N. c. He was
their vice-principal and taught sub
jects in the academic department and
many trades. It was he who organ
lied the school farm from which he
raised almost enough produce to feed
all the student body. He organized
the dairy department from which the
milk and butter of the school was sup
piled. He organized and developed
the poultry department from which
the school got its entire supply of
eggs and poultry. 1t was under his
instruction that every brick and stone
building, of which there are many
and great on the school campus, was
constructed. He instituted depart
ment in the school by which deserving
students who did not have the cash
to defray their school expenses could
work their way through school He
also made provisions through city
contractors whereby deserving trade
students could work at their trade
through the summer vacation an
amass sufficient funds to pay their
schooling throughout the term. In
short, he made it possible for any
boy or girl desiring an education to
get it at St. Augustine's school,
money or no money. AS a result Of
these acts of benevolence, the writer
can point out many men of outstand
ing leadership and ability both in the
ministry and out, who by being re-
cipients of the favors of this splen-
did gentleman, were able to get along
in life while it would have been i'm
possible for them to have gotten their
education otherwise. mention these
facts to show only the beueficient
work of Bishop Delaney as a part Of
the school faculty.
In 1908, upon the death of Arch
deacon Pollard, DR.. Delaney was ad
vanced TO that position, where his
field was greatly enlarged. In this
capacity he set about the task of rails
ing the economic standards of those
ministers under his supervision. He
raised their stipends as nearly as pos
sible to a living standard. He in
spired those who would be discourag
ed to greater effort and determine
ton to carry on. He also encouraged
those who had a vocation to the
Christian ministry to prepare them
selves for this service and kept watch
over them until they accomplished
the same. He would then create
openings for them either in his own
diocese or petitioned for them in 9TH
err dioceses. All his ministers loved
and respected him and were willing
to make the necessary sacrifice of
enlisting in a diocese in which the
stipends were comparatively low
merely to serve under his care. 1t
was he who urged me to prepare for
the ministry. 1t was he who prepar-
ed and presented me for confirmation
and it was he by whom was encour-
