Hagerstown Gives Congressman "Jim" Great Ovation And He Responds With a Masterly Effort.

PRAISES ROOSEVELT AND TAKES RAP AT COMMONER Audience Cheers Lustily When Speaker Expresses Himself as Being Perfectly in Accord With President. Hagerstown, Ind., October 23 (Spl) Hagerstown did herself proud in entertaining Congressman James Watson tonight and the "Whip" more than justified the welcome that was given him. It was a grand old Republican night, when everyone bubbled over with enthusiasm and there was that spirit of harmony which only the Republicans can show. It must be admitted that there was a sore spot or two in this city before Watson came. A postoffice appointment was made, not satisfactory to all concerned and there had been a little grumbling. A straight out from the shoulder explanation by "Jim," a hand shake" here and there and all is now pleasant again. The meeting was held in the Odd Fellows hall and it is to be regretted that the building was not twice as large. Eight hundred persons, mostly voters crowded into the hVl while many tried to hear by standing on the steps leading into it. Music by the Taggart Glee Club of Richmond and the New Castle Glee Club added t6 the program. Lee Reynolds Presided. T.,ee Reynolds, the well known Bchool teacher presided. Congressman Watson made a rousing good speech in which he dwelt on the record of the party and especiallly the work of the last Congress. The "speaker took a hard rap at Bryan for trying to steal the glory for what Roosevelt had done. Congressman Watson expressed himself, as being heartily In accord with the President and pled ped himself to help carry out the legislation wanted by Roosevelt during the next session of Congress. This statement was greeted by a great outIriirst. Throughout his speech Mr. Wat eon was interrupted by applause and he received a splendid ovation at the close. Among the Richmondites in attendance were Messrs. A. M. Gardner, P. J. Freeman and A. J. Spekenhier.

D." by Dancers Was the Feature, At nine o'clock last night the grand march, led by First Sergeant Fred Krone and Officer McXally, inaugurated the Fourth Annual Ball of the Richmond Police Department at the Coliseum. Over a hundred and fifty couples took part in the march. Many fancy figures in marching were executed and the unique formation of the letters "R. M. P. D." while the line was in motion was the feature. The finale' presented the sixteen patrolmen in one lina which marched to the end of the hall where ranks were broken and the programs, which, were a creation in that line, were filled.

Rev. Dr. Zinnsmeister Tells

Needs of a Pastor in This Modern Day, in Showing Why Many Fail. OLIVE BRANCH SYNOD MEETING AT A CLOSE Great Deal of Work Disposed Of During the Last Day and a Large Number of Com mittees Were Named. Tim Rev. Dr. Zinnsmeister, of Nashville, Tenn., addressed a large congregation at the Synod meeting last night at St. Paul's Lutheran church on requirements demanded by modern church goers of young min isters. The address was especially opportune Jn that during the past two years there have been no young pas tors ordained in the Synod which is composed of Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee. This particularly uncom mon and no particular reason ca.i be assigned to it. Dr. Zinnsmeister, in speaking of it stated: "The church today demands a pastor who has the propensities of a 'good mixer", a man who is versatile in the affairs of the day, a man who is an orator, one who can attract the people by the brilliancy of bis address and thought, a man who is thoroughly original in his work and with a good reserve store of new, fresh and entertaining ideas. The popular conception demands this." The Afternoon Session.

SIR THOMAS WILL TRY ONCE AGAIN With a Good Servicable Boat He Will Attempt to Lift America's Cup. NEW YORK CLUB AGREES IT WILL ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE WHICH WILL COME THROUGH THE ULSTER YACHT CLUB RACE IN 19C3. Publishers' Press, J ..New York, Oct. 23. Sir Thomas Lipton will be given another chance to lift the American Cup. A race under the new rule of measurement of the New York Yacht Club is now assurred, the club itself to accept a challenge from Sir Thomas Lipton in a thorough sportsman like spirit. The race will probably not take place until 190S as the time now remaining for issuing the challenge so as to have a contest next year is very limited. By the deed of gift of the CUP ten months must 'elapse between the issuing of the challenge and the races, and it is desirable to have them in August, certainly not later than September. The challenge will come through the Royal Ulster Yacht Club, as it did for the three Shamrocks, and both Fife and Milne are likely to have a hand "in constructing thejj Shamrock IV.

It vas considered a most remarkable thing that-all of the American Yearly Meetings on the American Continent should have been represented at the first meeting ever held to consider the --proposition of a union of foreign missionary forces, but it was deemed f a much more remarkable fact that the representatives of these bodien were able to agree unanimously upon a plan for such union. All of the Amcr ican Yearly Meetings and the Five Years" Meeting which will convene in Richmond next year will pss upon the plan as adopted by the Richmond conference last night, and then if finally approved by two or more of them the plan of union shall become effective between all thosa bodies which so adopt.
