TICKET SELLERS NEET I CAPTAL| Advantages of Advertising, Washington Outlined to Railroad Agents. Advantages of advertising Washing- —tonas-& vacation city were set forth \:’:’ James Keeley, assistant to the pres- ident of the Puilman Co., and other akers ‘at the ninth annual conven- tion of the American Association of Railroad Ticket Agents at the May- flower Hotel today. The delegates were welcomed by Bngineer Commis- sioner Col. William B. Ladue. While the railroads have done much to advertise this city by offering spe- clal excursion rates and by other means, Mr. Keeley said, is is the tick- et agent himself who can do most to induce prospective travelers to Visit | Washington. Shrine of Patriotism. *“It is your advice that is often sought by millions of travelers desir- ing mew vacation trails, and much de- pends upon your suggestions. It is because of this latent powgr that I ex-|J press my gratification that you meet this year in Washington, because this city is not only the seat of national |} the premier | governmgent, but also shrine of American patriotism. It is a city of ¢linging memories that in- clude the days of colonial settlement, growing wealth, incipient nationalism, the war that achieved independence and the foundation of the world’'s greatest republic, to say nothing of the developments of the last century and a half. “Much of America's early history was made within a comparatively small radius of this city, and modern |: events destin« to rock the world have |, had their incention here. The knowl- edge that m: ¢ of the country’s great- est_have toof the streets that you walk today, should generate a thrill of national pride. No other one city of America can present to you such a picture of our past and our present, our glories and our griefs and our ‘reasons for a belief in a still greater future. Tllustrates Law of Nature. “The incidents relating to the loca- tion of the National Capital are mnot only interesting in themselves, but proofs that certain laws of human nature that wrok for the good of all never change. Compromise is one of these and, as we all know, an every- day necessity. It was a compromise agreement between Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton that located the non-existent Capital of the youth- ful republic upon the banks of the Potomac. ““We are in a city of contrasts and lessons. Walk down Pennsylvania ave- nue almost to the Capitol and you see the Naval Peace Monument, honoring the naval dead of the Civil War and typifying the relief that peace brings after an often necessary carnage. “Centuries of world history have proven that a nation is only as strong as the patriotism of its people. Pa- triotic impulse founds a nation, mal: tains it and if its government wan- ders into strange paths guides it back to its proper course; otherwise ruin But, sequentially, patriotic r may inaugurate something ' worthwhile and lack strength to com- plete it, and that is when an awak- ened government fulfills one of its functions. Monument's History Recalled. “There are examples before your eyes in this city. Patriotism suggested the Washington Monument in congres- sional discussions as early as 17¢3, just + &t the close of the American Revolu- _tlon. But the immortal Washington ! was still alive and was his own monu- ment, and the project died, to be un- ssfully revived after his death years elapsed before an assoclation of citizens was organized to pay the belated tribute to the Father of His Country, and 15 more before the corner stone was .~ Seven years later, in 1855, work stopped. No funds! Almost a quarter century rolled by before anything was done to remove the disgrace of & one- fourth completed memorial to our greatest national hero. Then the Gov- ernment that had initiated but slum- bered resumed the work, and in 1885, 102 years after the project was first broached, the Washington Monument was completed. It takes popular team ‘work to run a government and a goy- ernment to make team work effective, “‘Sixteen miles down the Potomac lies the great shrine of all cent Americans—Mount There, amid beautiful surroundings and almost within sight of the Capi- tal of the great Nation that he found. ed, the remains of George Wash- ington. The fact that millions of venerating countrymen have had the opportunity to stand before that tomb is due to patriotism—the outraged pa- triotism of a woman of South Caro- lina, Miss Ann Pamela Cunningham! In 1855 sacred Mount Vernon was offered for sale by the owner, a de- scendant of the Washington family, who could no longer afford to main- tain it, national shrine thpugh it was. Patriotism Saved Shrine. “Again individual patriotism awoke and individuals carried through the project, and you view it today because of the women of America, who werse spurred to action by a Southern wom- an a few years before the war of the States began, . “You gentlemen today are seeing and will see for yourselves these na- tional monuments. You are feeling the emotions which come from con- tact with the great historical factors in the development of this Nation. ‘When you return to your homes, you will be better Américans, because you will have indelibly imprinted in your hearts and in your minds, unforgetta- ble pictures of our patriotic shrines. You will teil your neighbs our friends and your business associates of what you have seen, ‘what you have heard, of what you have learned. And, as advisers to the traveling pub- lic, you can do a real service to Amer- jea by impressing on those who come to you for advice that it is a patrl- otic duty of every one in our great Nation to learn by actual contact the story of the patriotism of the past that has made the present possible.” et MORAN WARNS PUBLIC OF NEW FAKE $20 NOTE Becret Service Head Says Counter- feit Is So Well Executed as to Be “Dangerous.” Chiet Moran of the Secre’ Service today broadcast warning of a new counterfeit $20 Federal Reserve note 80 well executed as to be “dangerous.” It is produced, Chief Moran sald, “by photo-mechanical process and printed on two sheets of thin paper ‘between which silk threads have been distributed.

Courses presented in Unitarian the- ological schools are “inadequate and antiquated” and should be replaced by such modern subjects as social sciences, the psychology of religion and modern natural science, in the opinion of a commigsion which re- ported its findings to the first meet- ing of the American Unitarian Asso- clation conference at All Souls’ Church here this afterncon. The commission, declaring that “‘the pulpit should not be a lecture plat- form,” found that “Unitarian preach- ing has dealt overmuch with matters of a philosophical and theological character.” “While we recognize the value of such preaching,” it continued. “we be- lieve that what our people need and are seeking are heartening.words that will encourage them to meet the vicis- situdes of life. “We are certain that the courses presented in our theological schools are inadequate and antiquated. We earnestly commend to the considera- tion of the leaders in our theological schools a thorough revision of the courses. Social Science Urged. “The commilssion recommends that the courses in ministerial preparation shall be built rather about the social sciences than about the topics of dog- matic theology, church hisiory and biblical literature, and languages, which have formed the nucleus of the classical discipline in divinity schools. “Specifically we beiieve that greater attention should be given to the sub- jects of sociology, political science, and the history and psychology of religion, philosophy and the religious implica- tions of the assured results of modern natural sclence.” The commission also recommended periods of -training for young minis- ters under older preachers, like the interne in the hospital and the young lawyer in the large office. Representatives of 29 States and Canada, between 300 and 400 in all, are attending the conference, which will continue through Thursday. Rev. Ulysses G. B. Pierce, pastor of All Souls’ Church, welcomed the delegates at the opening session this afternoon. Agreement Report Presented. Among the reports presented to the meeting was one of the Universalist- Unitarijan commission, which has studied phases of a plan to institute a working agreement betwen the lib- eral churches for the purposes of elim- inating rivalry and covering a larger fleld. The church school should supple- ment the public school in training children in citizenship, Frank W, Bal- lou, superintendent of schools here, said at the Autumn meeting of the Unitarfan Sunday School Society. which was held at the church this morning. He urged more attention to citizenship in the Sunday schools. “Sunday schools are facing large new problems,” Rev. George Lawrence Parker, president of the society, said in his address. “We have to meet questions in chil- dren’s minds which are more search- ing than in former days,” he said. “We have a generation of parents who in large numbers have no satis- factory faith of their own; many par- ents in whose minds the concepts of God and personal responsibility have worn thin. And we have a world that is asking religious questions in new terms. If we are going to teach re- ligion as if those facts did not exist we are beaten before we begin.” Dry Law Support Urged. A resolution calling upon newspa- pers to support prohibition was adopted last night at a meeting of the Unitarian Temperance Society. The resolution was adopted after Rev. Lyman V. Rutledge, president of the , had declared that “the pres- ent attitude of the press is one of the tacles to the enforcement of " and had urged that the ‘papers tell the truth about the sit- uation for one year.” Rum row has disappeared and a drunken man on the streets is so un- usual that he is news, Prohibition Rev.

Gale. Rev. J. C. Gale, S. J, for five years president of Gonzaga College and rector of St. Aloysius Parish, North Capitol and T streets, was suc: ceeded today by Rev. Michael F. Fitz- patrick, who has been father min- ister of the Jesuit community for the Iast two years. Father Gale, who has been in poor ‘health for some time, has been transferred to Ford- ham College, New York City. Rev. Louis Ott, from the Jesuit Novitiate at Woodstock, Md., who has been teaching mathematics in the Gonzaga High School, succeeds Father Fitzpatrick as minister of the community. The changes went into effect today. Commissioner James M. clared at the meeting. What ships with liquor there are off the coast, he said, are a_hundred miles at sea and can rarely land their cargoes. The commissioner denied that alco- hol causes a “pickup.” Chemical analysis has shown that alcohol, even in small quantities, lowers efficiency and causes no pickup, he said. This statement was made in_response to & request by Rev. U. G. B. Plerce, pas- tor of All Souls’ Church, who quoted figures from Germany tending to show that alcohol in moderation increases efficiency. Other speakers at the meeting were Senator Duncan U. Fletcher of Flor- ida_and Representative Clyde Kelly of Pennsylvania.

Armado Garz Linares and Donato Segura, In explanation of the announce- ment that the property of known rehels would be confiscated, Attorney General Ortega has let it be known that this does not include those whose activities were merely political and in support of the Gomez and Serrano presidential campalgns. Only those engaging in armed rebellion will be affected by the confiscation order. Felix F. Palavicini, founder and for- mer editor of the newspaper El Uni- versal, and Luis Elguero, chiof edi- torial writer for Excelsior, were de- ported last night, being placed on a train for Laredo in custody of agents from the department of interior.

Senor Elguero was taken into custody at the editorial rooms of the Excelsior. He was allowed to go to his home and pack a suitcase be- fore boarding the train. May Extend President’s Term. No official statement has been made on the case by the governmen,t but it is known that some friends of Palavicini urged President Calles to deport him in preference to other punishment. Elguero was sald to have offended the government in a recent editorial, it being charged that he misquoted Gen. Obregon and aroused animosity between the con- tending political parties in the presi- dential campaign and that his words reflected on the honor of the Mexican army. A motion to make the presidential term six years instead of four as at present passed its first reading in adopted it will require ratification by the majority of the state legislatures. It will then become effective for the next presidental term. for which Gen.

NOGALES, Arizona, October 11 (#).—Dispatches from Northern Mex- ico taday told of minor skirmishes between federal ticops and small rebel or bandit hands. Otherwise, little military activity was reported and observers here and at Nogales, Sonora, across the border, generally agreed with the statement of Presi- dent Calles that the revolt had been crushed. Reports from the state of Nayarit, where bandits have been active for months, said the robber bands con- tinued to fire on trains but that federal guards had little difficulty in repulsing the attacks. GOLDENBERG YACHT BURNED AT BALTIMORE Margan Destroyed With Loss of $110,000, While Anchored in Bear Creek. Fire early this morning wrecked the 125-foot yacht Margan, owned by Morton H. Goldenberg, ome of the owners of Goldenberg’'s department store, as the lay at anchor in Bear Creek, near Baltimore. The fire was discovered by a watch- man on shore at 2:45 o'ciock and fire- boat companies summoned. Too much headway had becen gained by the flames, however, and the fireboats reached the vessel, 500 feet off shore, too late to save it. The yacht was burned to the water's edge. No one was aboard the craft at the time and damage to the vessel and its equip- ment was estimated at $110,000. ‘The Margan, owned by Mr. Golden- berg for the past three years, had been anchored in Bear Cree’. since her last .cruise, about a week ago. The craft was insured, but it could not be ascertained here today whether or not the full damage would be covered. Wife Seeks Divorce. Mrs. Emma_ M. Riley today sued Haughton B.

Application for a writ of habeas corpus would be strenuously opposed by the State, Justice Campbell's decision came as a shock to the 42-year-old widow, who has maintained that the doctor was killed by two negro robbers. Chara terizing her imprisonment as an “out- ge," she nsserted that the authori- ties had followed the ‘“‘easier course of trying to fasten the guilt on two innocent persons.” “They should be looking for the two negroes I saw kill my husband.” added. “The resuvlt of this injustice is that Mr. Beach and T lose our liber and our friends are forced to spend money so we can fight for our lv of trying to break my sto the State should try to find the ne groes, Owing to police tactics, T must employ detectives to find the slayers, even though I am in jail."” John J.
