CONGRESSMAN FESS BELIEVES MEXICAN SITUATION BETTER

Ohio Representative Says President Wilson's Policy Is a Good One. TENSION MUCH LESS Fesg 'Arrives in the City This Morning to Lecture At Chautauqua. "The Mexican situation this morning looks less dangerous than it has for weeks" said Congressman S. D. Fess, of Ohio, Thursday before leaving for the Chautauqua grounds to deliver an address on the subject. "Although I differ with the president on national politics, I must say that he is exactly right in his dealing with this dangerous and perplexing situation. Intervention in Mexican troubles must come only as a last resort, after all efforts at peaceful mediation have proven unavailing. Introduction Not Required. "Thirty days ago I could see no way out of the present difficulty except through armed intervention. Now I am happy to state that it looks as if the Equation is rapidly rounding into shape so that it can be dealt with -without an appeal to arms. "The present attitude of the Huerta administration is all bluff, the last stand of a man who siezed upon power that he later found himself unable to wield. We cannot recognize the present government for the simple reason that it has been unable to preserve the peace. The federalists at this time can scarcely be said to be in undisputed control of a single Mexican province. "To recognize the present administration would mean that we must stand sponsor for its acts. Under the Monroe Doctrine the powers of Europe are holding us to a high degree of responsibility for the safe-guarding of lives and property in the danger zone. If we cannot make possible the protection of foreign interests, the European nations will be perfectly justified in entering M co to do so. We must eee that the.- ave no cause to take that action. Favoro Neutrality Order. "I am glad that steps have been taken to stop the exportation of arms , to Mexicr rebels. I was fearful for a time lest the government might do nothing to hinder the importation of arms and munitions of war by both sides. This would have been a serious mistake for it would have been equivalent to announcing to Europe that we were not concerned with the preservation of peace in Mexico. '""here mere fact that the federalists may import arms does not mean that the United States is thus giving tacit recognition to the Huerta administration. It is the dominant party, and upon it we are to a certain degree depending for the protection of lives and property. Wilson Must Have Free Hand, v "As long as President Wilson is giv1en a free hand, I think that he will be able to cope with the situation. It seems that he is to be allowed to carry out his own ideas on the question by congress. Representative Mann, of Illinois, the Republican floor leader, assured nu5lfore I left Washington, that the members of that party would join hands with the Democrats in supporting the president in all matters pertaining to our present trouble. As proof that this is being done, I notice that immediately after the reading of the last . presidential message the house immediately adjourned without discussion to prevent the expression of any bellicose statesmen by warlike congressmen that might tend to embarrass the president. "The Mexican situation is the direct expression of the spirit of its people," who have the volarile and excitable temperament of the latin American race. So far as I can see the establishment of a temporary peace would be no promise that the Mexican problem would be permanently settled. Six months after the next election the eame condition of affairs that we have now in that country might be existing again. A Strong Man Needed. "Under the iron rule of President Diaz the country was kept in a quiet condition. Malcontents were either locked up or won over to the administration. A weaker man cannot hope to control the country. To add to the difficulties encountered in preserving peace,-owing to the tempermental nature of the citizens there is also the lamentable condition of the downtrodden peons who are free in name only, to be considered. Rulers of Mexico cannot champion the cause of these unfortunates because they are dependent for support upon the landed aristocracy of the country, who are interested in maintaining the poorer classes in their present condition. Borne method must be found to secure a more equitable distribution of the land In the country before a permanent peace can be established. "Is It possible that the freedom of Jlexlco may be won by some leader arising from the common people themselves? Perhaps, although it eeeras rather doubtful. The Madero family came from the middle class. Us members educated in the universities of this country and were apparently ideally equipped to battle for true (Continued on Last Page)

Hang October

Mary Phagan, above, victim in the Atlanta murder, of which Leo M. Frank was found guilty. Below is Frank and his wife as they appeared at the trial. ATLANTA, Ga., Aug. 28. Although his trial judge denied his attorneys' motions for an appeal, and sentenced him to be hanged on October 10, Leo M. Frank the wealthy young superintendent of the National Pencil Company is confident his life will be saved. Urged ou by the lavish offers of his father and uncle, Frank's attorneys are planning to carry the case to the Supreme court. The young man, whose wife and mother are now in a state of collapse as a result of the verdict, was convicted of the murder of Mary Phagan, a fourteen-year-old employe in his factory, whose body was found in a sack in the cellar of the factory after she had been missing several days. An old negro employe who swore to hearing sounds of a struggle after Frank had placed him on guard at the door of the office in which he received the girl, and the negro's further testimony of aiding Frank in hiding the body was the damning evidence that convicted the young slayer.

CRITICISM CHURCHES CAUSINGJSCUSSION (Continued from Page One) of persons who were always grasping at every excuse to keep from attending church. This would give one more excuse for these persons. Asked if he did not think that a stranger would feel more like attending the services of the church where he was showTn some courtesies, Mr. Hasemeier said that there were some courtesies to which every man was entitled. As an usher he says that he speaks to all persons entering the i church, and often invites them to re turn. Further advances should be made by the other person, he thought. Rupe Views it Differently. That the criticism is unjust, exaggerated and from a source not worth considering was the opinion of John L. Rupe, who is one of the ushers at the St. Paul's Episcopal church. Mr. Rupe stated that so far as he knew persons attending the services in Richmond churches were treated with courtesy. Such he said was the custom at his church. His conception of the duties of ushers is that they are not to act as a reception committee, but to show visitors and members to seats. He said the ushers at the St. Paul's Episcopal church always tried to seat persons in any part of the house that they preferred. .Mr. Kupe staiea mat ne aia not always shake hands with strangers and he did not always invite them to return. He was also of the opinion that the young man was not sincere, and did ! not have the interest of the churches at heart, or he would have gone at J once to the pastor of the chnrch of which he was a member and hare

FRITZ APPOINTED AFTER LONG DELAY (Palladium Special) WEST ALEXANDRIA. O., Aug. 28. After several months' delay, the appointment of O. V. Fritz to the postmastership at West Alexandria, has been confirmed by the senate. Fritz is one of the county's prominent Democounty agricultural society. He will succeed H. C. Glander, probably in Oc tober. made himself and his affiliation known. Knollenberg's Opinion. Mr. George H. Knollenberg, who is one of the ushers at the St. Paul's Lutheran church, said this morning that the statements made by the young man were unjust and an insult to the ushers and the conscientious church workers of the city the people who are giving their lives and money in an attempt to make the city better. Mr. Knollenberg stated that the ushers at St. Paul's Lutheran church tried to show the strangers who visited their church the consideration and respect due them. He said that In his personal visits to other churches of the oity he had met only with the best of treatment. He said that the ushers in the churches were the city's leading men and Jie was sure they would show the same courtesy to the strangers that they would show to their friends. That the criticism was not made from an earnest desire to better existing condition, was his opinion, and he said he did not believe any good would come of it A Carpenter's Opinion. After reading the interview a carpenter living in Fairview came to the Palladium office and told his experience. He said that he came to Richmond six years ago. Before coming here he had been a church worker, having been treasurer of a Sunday school for several years. After he and his family had lived In the city for some weeks, their neighbors ask ed them to attend church with them. They went to the morning services and sat beside their neighbors No j one else paid any attention to them. xheT M-ent back that night with the same treatment. The man and hia wife then tried two other denominations with the same result. Since then, he said, he had hot attended any church in Richmond. In a written statement the Rev. S. R. Lyons, pastor of the Reid Memorial Presbyterian church, says it has been hie observation, that the person com-

plaining of lack of friendly treatment was chiefly to blame, and that there is more to be gained from attendance at church than sociability. Rev. Lyon' Statement. "Permit a word further concerning the lack of social courtesy in the churches," Rev. Lyons writes. "After more than thirty years experience as pastor I can not remember a single case where the person complaining of lack of friendliness in the church was not chiefly to blame. So

io or mree uuesnus lu find the churches lacking in this re-1 gar(j. Did you invite friendliness when

you went to church?

things. A man who will have friends j must show himself friendly. "There are many strangers come to my church in the course of a year. Many of them greet me at the door with such warm friendliness and ap preciation that I thank God for such j people. "Was the stranger who criticised recently one of that kind? Must Have Responsibility. "Is there not a serious obligation on all of us to contribute of our friendliness when we go to church? "The other people who are at church all feel the need of friendliness as much as the stranger. I have deep condemnation in my heart for the cold and unfriendly church, but I have also

some grave thoughts about the person ! betterment for the community. "Cerwho goes to church without any sense tainly the health committee should enof responsibility for helping make the j dorse the plan immediately." declared

church warm with friendliness. "Isn't this after all a kind of shallow criticism. May I not miss the friendly greeting at church and yet get something infinitely more worth while? Many a doctor is gruff and sociable but if he cures me of my trouble isn't that the main thing. The salesman where I trade may be ever so sociable and friendly but if he does not give me good quality for my money there I'll trade elsewhere. Now 1 ask myself, what ought the church offer the young man or the old man? A sense of friendliness or the sense of God? De we go to church to get acquainted with people or to meet and know Jesus Christ The church is a place where we worship God? The church is a place where we get and give spiritual help. Here is a principle to which there is no exception. In Richmond or out of Richmond whoever goes to church with a desire to both get and give spiritual help will never be disappointed. The richest feast is nothing to the man who has lost his appetite. Even God is powerless to help the man whose soul isn't hungry. S. R. LYONS. CONGRESSMAN FESS DISCUSSES HISTORY The Hon. Simon D. Fess, M. C, addressed the teachers of Wayne county at the Chautauqua this morning, his subject being "Method in History." He emphasized the necessity of regarding the present in the light of the past and the past to understand the present. He sa'd, "We should study the history of the past in order to interpret the happenings of the present. We should also study the present to understand the past and all the significance of its happenings. You teachers know that unless a child can comprehend what Is being taught him in the light of what he has formerly experienced, the lesson will all be as Greek to him. To take an example let us consider the great centennial of Perry's victory on Iake Erie, which is being celebrated this year. To properly understand the present celebration, we must study the past and consider the events which led to this victory and their significance." The congressman then reviewed the settling of this country and the fight between England and France for the possession of America, the war for independence and the subsequent growth of the country, the administrations of Jefferson and Madison and the actions of the British minister. Merry; showing what a series of discussions led up to this war. City Statistics Deaths and Funerals.

when it is known that members of the 1 Wayne county council look with favor on the proposed appropriation. Statement by Bond. The members of the society declare! the tuberculosis hospital to be a civic j improvement and should be acted on! with the same alacrity which would j be shown toward any other proposed President S. Edgar Bond, of the Tubereulosts society, today. "The Com-' mercial club has permitted other business to interfere with its report on this matter, but it is highly urgent

un-Jthat it be given attention Immediately, j I feel sure that the county council

will appropriate the necessary amount for the building of the hospital. "Two years ago the study for the prevention of tuberculosis was thought a moral and religious question, and was preached only from the pulpits. "Now it is correctly considered a practicable and educational study and is taught in the public schools, in the factories, from the work benches as well as In the Sabbath school and from the pulpits. Movement Extensive One. "The movement for the prevention of tuberculosis is so extensive that every county in the United States is organizing a society for the purpose of conducting campaigns. "Wayne county is especially ahead in its propaganda of work and its society has instilled interest which has become general. The next move must be made by the health committee and its members should take up the matter of appropriating enough money to build the hospital with the county council as soon as possible. To delay would be unw ise." The Wayn- county society will reouest the Ministerial Association of this county to arrange for a general observance of Tuberculosis day, which has been designated for December 7. The schools, churches, labor unions, fraternal orders and other organiza tions will be asked to join the anti-1 tuberculosis workers of the country to c'jserve this fourth national day. Last year over f0,000 churches gave attention to this subject on Tuberculosis day. It is oped this year to swell the number of churches to 100,000 and to urge similar action besides In a large number of the schools and other societies. The Tuberculosis day campaign will come this year during the Red Cross Christmas seal sale. It is planned to urge the churches of the county to take a definite part in this movement.

LECTURE ON PSALMS Delivered By Professor Russell Today.

Prof. Russell continued hi yeriet cf lectures at the Chautauqua Jilt morning when he spoke on "Th Psalms'' "These five books of Psalms repr. wui mv -ju-vuun cu 1 u" songs CI Israel. They have been cnosen from a great manr duplicates and we flnJ relUjon, p,m 14 and abun re!WUIC,ns twim iiannj the same, and 103 1-5 and 5S T-ll ar. the same, besides other eample an (J passages which aiv almost repetitions of each other. These books are a collection of praises and for the most part the authors are unknown. A great many of the Psalms are said to be written by David, but the more

conservative authorities ascribe from mem-'twenty down to nine to him. They ', have been added to a a need was felt i for other thoughts and thev are all

the richer because they are not the (product of the experience of one man. Psalms consequently come to us wit richness of life, experience and faith, which never could have come from one man. We find in the Psalms a great lack of monotony of structure. No particular form of developing th Psalm seems to have been the favorite with the writers." HAPPY ENDINGS ARE WHAT CROWDS WANT So Mrs. Waltz Does not Read all of the Jean Val Jean Tragedy. The reading of "Les MIserJks fcy Mrs. Waltz was enjoyed by quite large audience yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Waltz did not read the entire story, but just that part up to the confession of Jean Val Jean that he was the convict who was wanted by th officers. She has been reading this story for eleven years before the Tartous Chautauquas and she said yesterday that her friends and associates on the platform had advised her to stop in the story at that part where there was a happy climax, since there was so much of an element of tragedy throughout the story. Miss Sybil Fagan. a young lady apparently not far advanced in ber teens, delighted the audience by an unusual whistling program after the appearance of Mrs. Waltt. This young whistler halls from Springfield. O., and is the niece of Mrs. Gertrude Hoffman, who lives on North West Third street-, of this city. The manner in which Miss Fagan whistles, by placing her little fingers between her Hps and apparently without effort the whistling begins. Her tones are clear and of a pleasing quality and the range is unusually large. She whistles for the most part songs, which are accompanied by the piano. As an encore she gave an excellent imitation of bird calls. The patrons of the Chautauqua are glad to know that she is to appear again today. Program Last Night. For an hour and a half yesterday evening preceding the lecture of Montraville Wood. Runge's orchestra, Mrs. ; Waltz and Miss Fagan entertained the audience. Mrs. Waltx gaye several recitations of a humorous natureand Miss Fagan whistled in her charming style. To these entertainments the audience listened attentively, but when the Runge orchestra, a body of local musicians who have been giving exceptionally well rendered programs, started their number, the audience took it as a signal for general conversation, which they continued with carelessness that approached ill manners. It finally became so loud that the orchestra, which was playing a selection that required great delicacy and lightness of tone, could not be heard in the center of the tent. "Sunshine" Hawks finally found It necessary to request the audience to b more courteous In Its reception of lta own home talent.
