BALTIMORE, June 1.-Walter NJ
Gilmore of Nashville, Tenn, an
official of the Gath Southern Baptist
Convention to be held here June
1916, said today "it is certain that
the convention will present
resolutions strongly protesting the
appointment by President Roosevelt
OF a representative to the Vatican.
This may set off the fireworks,
since the age-old principle of Bap-
lists, the absolute separation of
church and state, seems to be seri-
ously threatened" Mr.. Gilmore de-
clared.
He said more than 5000 delegates
and visitors would attend the ses-
sions from 18 Southern States.
The convention will discuss an
invitation to join the World Council
of Churches. but Mr.. Gilmore said
DR.. George w. Truett of Dallas,
Tex, chairman of a special COM
mittee, has already announced
that it would recommend declining
the invitation"

Trembled With Fear.
At the same time the photogra-
piers arrived. Three elevators stood
manned to whisk the publicity shy
creature out of range of the threat
ening cameras. However, she chose
flight through the lobby, leaping
over divans and crouching, trem-
bling with fear, behind potted palms.
Her great eyes were dark pools of
terror and from time to time she
screamed. Several male guests were
about to pummel the brutes with
the cameras.
Another star insisted on a lobby
guard to protect him from his pub
lie. 1t was pointed out that he could
use a private entrance. The star,

Convention delegates can be hair
shirts to other guests, but they, too,
pay their freight. One of the most
hilarious gatherings here was an
assembly of cemetery lot statesmen
and perhaps the quietest was a
session of 1900 rural mail carriers.
The carriers went to bed promptly

flights because they mistrusted

Japanese Best Tippers.
Ask hotel employees who are the
best tippers and most will agree
the Japanese Visitors from Nippon
are sensitive. anxious to put their
best foot forward. They tip hber-
ally and almost never complain
about the service. Scotchmen hand
out bigger tips than the British.
Little tips in Washington often
come from big shots, men whose
high positions command service
whether or not it is paid for. They
reserve the same table and insist
on the same waiter, and get them
despite rush hours and accommoda-
tions taxed to capacity.
Head walters carry thousand

dinner in or out of season. Five

A wealthy Washington merchant
used to dine on vegetables each
night at the same table and the

had to be- perfect.

The kitchen staffs in the big
hotels include almost every nation

diplomat can command the delica-

ELkS LOSE THIRD GAME
 THIS YEAR
Game Thrown Away in tst Inning When Moose
 Chalk Up Four Runs

Losing their third game of the season, the Elks last night tossed away the game in the first part of the first inning when rookie pitcher DeLong gave three hits and four runs to the Moose. Wilkins was substituted for DeLong after the first third of the inning, but the damage was done and the Moose walked away with the game ending the hitfest with the score T to 3.
 DeLong got a bad start when he stepped up on the mound, his first time this year walking Lefty Lawson. allowing Fritz Schmitz to connect with a grounder that he himself caught and threw to first, and giving hits to Johnson, Snow and Kimball. His big mistake was giving Kimball the, chance to smash a terrific homer over the fence, and the ball game was lost for the Elks from then on.
 But the Elks had come up to bat first and taken one hit and one run from Kimball, so things didn't look so tough for the con- sistent losers. But their spirits be- gan to wane in the next two can- tos as the Moose took two hits and one run from Wilkins and the

 Kelly Blake had stolen a run on an error on Bird and the score was to l at the end of the third when the Elks started a rally that netted them run and showed the grandstand that the old spirit was still there. Havlic stepped up, pour ing one over the fence, but unfor- tunately the bases were empty and the rainy team scored only one.
