MARY fOther name Withheld)
 Many similar Cases

This letter, according to Miss Cora M. Be1le, executive secretary of the Welfare association and manager of the Confidential EX- change, and also according to Ad- jutant Carl Freflickson of the Sal Nation Army. is typical of many such cases in the city. With the un- employment in some cases and short working days and fewer of them in other eases, the work of the vel fare associations is harder than ever this year. For the first time in it's history in New Britain the Salva- ton army is asking s1,ooo through its Christmas kettles. The Welfare association is not permitted to ap- peal for funds except during the United Community corporation drive, but is permitted to accept contributions for its work. Tn addi- ion to this, the association is not allowed to take one cent from its community chest money for Christ mas and Thanksgiving dinners or for any. purpose except the regular relief work.
 Many generous New Britainites send their checks to the two organ iza tions mentioned at this season Of the year. but more than ever arc needed this week. In fact, more help is needed throughout the entire year. according to Miss Beale.
 People love to give at this time" says Miss Beale" and forget all about us. all the. rest of the time.

BROADWAY M0URNS HARTLEY MANNERS
Playwright and Husband Of
 Laurette Taylor Dead

New York, Dec. 20 0CP-Broadway today mourned J. Hartley Manners. playwright and actor, pest known as the author of Peg O My Heart" one of the most popular plays ever produced in America.
 His wife, Laurette Taylor, the actress, who rose to fame as Peg in her husbands play, was with him when death came last night at their home on Riverside Drive. He was 5S years old. Mr. Manners had been ill since last summer and month ago underwent an operation. His health failed steadily since then.
 Born in London
 Born in London, Mir. Manners started his career as an actor in Melbourne. Australia, in 1928. He returned to London the next year and after appearing in several pro- ductions came to New York in 1902 with a company in his own play, "The Crossway."
 It was not until 1912, however, that he achieved wide fame. In that My Heart" starring Laurette Taylor. at that time an obscure actress, who he had married that same year. The play had a run of 692 performances on Broadway and established both Manners and Miss Taylor in the

Pathetic Letters From Children
 Find Way to Santa Claus Editor

Why not make Christmas las, throughout the year?'
 While Miss Beale does not criti- cize the parent organization. she ad- mits that the community chest bud get was not listed high enough at the last drive to take care of it's needs.
 Asks for Pretty Doll
 But Mary's letter is not the only one which indicates suffering and privation in the city. Here is a pa thetic story of child love and heart hunger which cannot but have its appeal to some one. The Santa Claus editor of the Herald has the name and address of the little girl and will be glad to give it upon ap- pllcatlon. The letter comes from Nc Clintock road and says:
 Dear Santa: When l see all the pictures of you in the paper l look at your fase I am not happy like you are Because when I look at this nice doll Bubbles. think she looks so much like Ruth my sister who was 20 months old when she died. She was burned by coffee when the pot tipped the dear little baby how she did cry When we heard tho news next morning how we did cry we all were heart broken. But it makes me sad oh so sad to think Of it. Maybe you will be so kind to Ic1I p,,hI I will love dearly. We live in a little house.
 "Once more I will ask you to be so kind as to please send me the pretty doll. Then I can have some of Ruth's small dresses for her, oh if I can only have her how l will love her, will love her as mamma loves us. I would want her as you see in the picture. dear Santa.
 Your waiting friend"
 According to a newspaper adver- tisment enclosed with the letter, Bubbles is IT inches tall and costs $5.
 Hundreds of letters addressed to Santa Claus have been received by the local welfare organizations, and some have found their way 10 the desk of the Santa Claus editor. Many of them simply contain lists of toys and other things the writer wants. Most of them are typically childish and bring a smile or a tear to the reader depending upon their nature.
 Wants ''Uncle Sam's Bank"
 One little girl apparently wants the Federal Reserve system, at least she asks for Uncle Sams bank, But probably she deserves it be- cause she adds that she got a per feet card and merit from her school teacher. She also was good to her mother, so if Santa Claus has been authorized to distribute Uncle Sam's bank, he probably will find Victoria a worthy case. Victoria also states that her two year old brother wants an automobile and a train.
 One letter must have been written by a youngster with religious ten- dencies at a very early age in life. The only thing at all readable in the letter are a number of large crosses drawn on the page. The balance looks like e's upside down and in dicate that someone gave the baby q pencil and paper, and baby did his best.

AFGHAN REBELS IN
 STRONG POSITION
Occupy Road Between Jalalahad
 and Kabul, IsolatinS Former

Peshawar, Indian, Dec. 20 P}-Ad- vices on the Afghanistan. situation received today indicated that the rebels still were occupying a strong position between Jalalabad and ka bul. They have repulsed all at tempts Of government forces to get through 10 Jalalabad and appeared to be content to hold on merely to keep Jalalabad isolated.
 The situation to the north of ka- bull was more obscure. It appeared, however, that there was a gathering of tribesmen from this region in the immediate vicinity of kabul on Fri day and Saturday and that there had been some fighting on both these days.
 Reports reaching here state that the capital has not been disturbed much. It was not clear whether this attack from the north was by tribes men who have joined the rebellious ShinWaris or by gangs of robbers who banded together for loot. Other provinces were not disturbed and ne gotiatlons were still proceeding from Jalalabad.

 This young correspondent is sur prisinsly frank. She tells San.a Claus she is concerned about the lattcr's welfare for good and suf- ficient reason. Here is the letter. Dear Santy:

One Little Girl Says She Cannot Write "Very Good" Because Tears Are Mixed With Her Ink.

T cannot write this letter very good because my tears are mixed with the ink" says the writer of one of the most heartrending Santa Claus letters which have gone through the local post office in many years. The letter. neatly written, penmanship almost perfect with paragraphing and punctuation that would do credit to many an older person. tells a story which carries into tn" heart of the reader a most vivid impression of the poverty stricken conditions to be found among those who are unfortunate.
 Addressed to Santa Claus and mailed at the post office, the letter speaks for itself. The punctuation and paragraphing are copied yer hatim.
 Dear Santa Claus:-
 Kindly send US some Christmas presents.
 My father died and nine of us in family.

of John Quincy Adams religious activi-
ties. has this to say:
AN habitual churchgoer, the acces-
sion to the presidency made no change
in that respect for Mr.. Adams. It was
not uncommon for him to go twice to
church on Sunday. In the morning he
, might hear a sermon of Rev. Robert
Little, the pastor of the Unitarian
Church, at the northeast corner of
Sixth and D streets northwest and
then in the afternoon walk across La
fayette Park to st. Johns Episcopal
Church, where the rector, Rev. William
Hawley conducted the services, or at
tend the preaching of Rev. Daniel
Baker. the pastor of the Second Pres
byterian Church. which stood at the
apex of the western triangular square
formed at the intersection of New
York avenue and H street northwest"

there are ever so many people who re-
member the old Police Court building,
even if they do not remember it as the
Unitarian Church. For many years
Judge Smell presided here in all his
glory, and the oratory of Campbell
Darlington, Dan Cahill and number
of other lawyers of this court could
be heard in defense of their respective
clients, who sometimes were adjudged
guilty" and sometimes adjudged mot
guilty"
The colored prisoners appearing be-
fore Judge Smell declared they could
tell the sentence to be neted out by the
judge by the number of times he turned
around in his swivel chair. One turn
meant SIS or 10 days and two revolutions
meant $40 or 90 days, and so on to the
limit of the courts jurisdiction.
It seems to the writer that 1t was
before Judge Smell that Gen. George H.
Harries was hailed as a "vag," when
that distinguished gentleman was a re-
porter on The Star having assumed this
disguise for the purpose of being sent
down. for 30 days in order to get inside
information regarding the running of
the workhouse and Jail for his paper.
The ruse worked admirably, and when
the necessary information was obtained
the release of Mr.. Harries was speedily
secured.

Bv JoHN CLAGETT PROCTOR.

n NOWADAYS a President should
N find no difficulty in locating
VI the church Of his choice at the
Nations Capital, for there IS
indeed a good assortment here
TO select from. In the early days
when Washington was the City OF
Magnificent Distances such was not
the case. for there were then very few
churches here. and the President who
happened to find the church OF his
choice, was as least, to an extent, play
ing in luck. Fortunately, Georgetown
Bladensburg and Alexandria were
nearby, and the Chief Executive could
bv only a few hours drive reach the
farthest of these places.
Of course. Gen. Washington ceased to
be President in 1877 but his interest
in the city was keen from the laying
of the corner stone on April Is, 1871.
until his death, December Ia, 1899, and
during these years if the first President
desired to attend the church Of mis-
choice within the present 10 miles
souare-not including Georgetown-he
would have found Old st. Paul's, OPP
posite Soldiers Home, ready and willing
to receive him, for religious services
were being conducted at the parish
church here even before Washington
was born.
Another Episcopal house of worship
was the old tobacco barn on New Jer-
sey Avenue near d street northeast.
where religious services were neld as
early as 1880, and where President
Thomas jefferson is said to have at
tended divine services while he was the
Nations Chief Executive. Since there
is no record to the contrary, it is prob
able that even Gen. Washington might
have attended service at both of these
places. since he visited the city upon
a number of occasions up until the time
of his death.
Christ Church, Alexandria, and Po-
hick Church, a little closer to Mount
Vernon. were Washington's favorite
places of worship and especially is this
true of the former church. where for
number of years he regularly attended
service. Indeed, Washington was not
only especially interested in Christ
Church and Pohick Church. but also in
Falls Church. and it is the writer's M
preston that these three churches were
all erected from the same plans be-
tween the years 1867 and 1772. Since
having been first built. Christ Church
has undergone a number of interior
and exterior changes, so that today it
bears little resemblance to the two
other churches Though Washington,
while living in the cities of Philadelphia
and New York, usually visited churches
of the Episcopal denomination, he was
not an infrequent visitor to Protestant
churches CT other denominations.

John ADAMS by some is classed as
~ a Unitarian and by Others as a
Congregationalist. AS matter of fact
he might well be classed as a free
thinker. His parents sent him to col
lege to study for the ministry, but this
idea was soon abandoned. and he sub
stituted law for the pulpit. The pest
part of his administration was spent
In Philadelphia, where he attended
churches of different denominations.
He did not come to Washington to fill
out his term until the Autumn of 1900,
and therefore had little time to attend
church here, but he availed himself
of such churches as were then existing,
including the Presbyterian Church of
