"Whereas, The World's Woman's Christian Temperance Union, now in session in this city, in view of the fact that alcohol, with its demoralizing effect on the soul and body of men, is one of the greatest foes of the Church of Christ today, be it "Resolved, That the World's Christian Temperance Union, in convention assembled, respectfully and prayerfully requests the Hosse of Bishops of the Episcopal Church of America, to consider the propriety of using at the Holy Communion the fruit of the vine, which is non-alcoholic, unfermented grape-juice, in place of fermented wine, which contains the narcotic poison, alcohol." Children Give Demonstration. The Loyal Temperance Legion demonstration on Saturday afternoon was one of the most delightful features of the convention. Three hundred children, carrying the stars and stripes were on the stage at one time, and sang a welcome to the World's W. C. T. U. Twenty children dressed in costumes from as many countries represented the children's work around -the world. Twenty boys, called "Coming Voters," followed by ten girls, marched on the stage. The girls wore yellow belts and badges, on which were inscribed "Woman's Suffrage Party." The various departments of the children's work were featured in the demonstration. Although the convention is composed of the national organization of fifty countries, but thirty-six countries are represented by delegates. The convention was opened in the Academy of Music, Brooklyn, Mrs. Lillian M. N. Stevens, vice-president of the World's Union, presiding. The Countess of Carlisle of England, president of the World's Union, was -unable to be present owing to illness, but is represented by her youngest daughter, Lady Aurea Howard, a charming young lady of some twenty summers. England has thirty-six representatives present. Auditorium Decorated. The auditorium in which the convention meets is beautifully decorated with the flags of the nations from which the delegates come, and the banners and mottoes of the various national organizations, while over the platform, in large letters, formed by electric light bulbs, flame out the word "Welcome,." Sixteen Hundred at Banquet. A welcome reception and banquet was held at the Hotel Astor and was attended by 1.600 delegates and friends of the W. C. T. U. This proved a most delightful occasion.

Edward Young, pastor of Bedford Presbyterian church, Mrs. Mary G. Connerly, treasurer of the W. C. T. IT. of Indiana, on behalf of the women's clubs, Mrs. F. S.

The keynote of these addresses was total abstinence for the individual, prohibition for the state and the ballot for women. The delegates were formally welcomed the next morninb by Mayor Adolph Kline, of New York, who delivered the proverbial keys of the city to the convention. He said those who unselfishly try to help others are responsible for the progress of the world. The president of the Borough of Brooklyn, Lewis R. Pounds, the president of the Brooklyn league, Hon. Charles H. Fuller, and the president of the Merchants' Asooiation of New York, representing 37.000 merchants, pnd Mrs. Ella Boole, president of the New York Stnte W. C. T.

NO G. 0, P, JODGES FOR CITY ELECTION

The State Authorities Decide Against Overture of Progressives. DECISION UNPOPULAR Officials Must Come From! New Party and Democratic Rank. Appointment of Republican election judges would invalidate the election in this city November 4. This is the edict handed down by the state attorney general's office. Saturday, E. G. McMahan, representing the Progressive Central committee cf Richmond, went to Indianapolis for the purpose of consulting Attorney General Hogan on this question. Mr. Honan had not returned from a trip, but McMahan put the question up to Honan's chief clerk, who, after consulting the election statutes, said that the law on this subject was very plain, that the election inspectors would have to select judges from the two political parties which received the greatest number of votes at the preceeding general election, these parties being the Democratic and Progressive. This decision is disappointing to the Progressive committee, which desired to give the Republicans representation on the election boards. This is the last week of the campaign, but no election bets can be posted in the cigar stores. This will be the first "betless" election held in Richmond in many years, and the edict which went forth from police headquarters, placing a ban on the posting of bets caused considerable surprise, for the first of the month no objections were made by the police to the posting of bets on he world's series base ball games. More than a week ago one cigar store accepted several election bets and posted them, but after three even money wagers that Zimmerman would be defeated had gone up, with no takers after two days' display, the word was passed around that betting would not be tolerated and the blackboards were sponged clean. There will be a meeting of the Republican Central committee Tuesday night, and at that time the question of holding a Republican rally at the Coliseum will be brought up. It is probable the committee will decide to hold such a meeting the last ot the week.

Rev. S. W. Traum Resigns Pastorate

:s,- . 5. ! : ( C ' k . it - - - , ,,,.

REV. S. W. For the second time within the last five months the Rev. S. V. Traum, pastor of the First Christian church, has tendered his resignation to the congregation. The action of the pastor was a surprise to the congregation when announced yesterday. It is expected that the resignation will come before the official board at a meeting some time during the latter part of next month. Early last summer similar action was taken by the pastor, but the resignation was not accepted and the Rev. Mr. Traum continued his work. Late last week the resignation was again handed the official board with a request for release at the earliest possible moment. If he is given the release by the local church the pastor will continue his work in the ministry although he has no definite field in mind at this time. Here Seven Years. The Rev. S. W. Traum came to Richmond seven years ago from Madison, Ind., and has contributed largely toward the building of the local congregation His removal from the city will be a source of regret to his many friends. Shortly after the first resignation of the Rev. Mr. Traum there occurred a division in the First Christian church.

CITY WATER SUPPLY IS UNCONJAMiNATED Source of Typhoid Cannot be Traced to Polluted Water.

Richmond's water supply was in no way responsible for the recent typhoid epidemic in this city. This information was received today by city health officer Dr. T. Henry Davis, from H. E. Barnard, chief of the state pure food and drugs department. Two samples of the city's water pupply, one drawn from taps in Richmond and the other taken from the Gorman gallery at the pumping station, were sent to Mr. Barnard and submitted to a rigid chemical analysis. Mr. Barnard has pronounced both samples excellent, containing neither colon bacilli nor chlorine. Water Gallery Pure. Last spring during the floods the high water of the Whitewater river broke down the wall guarding the Gorman gallery, allowing a great quantity of river water to enter it. This called for prompt and effective action on the part of the water works company and the health officer is greatly pleased over the information that the water in that gallery is now absolutely pure. "The Gorman gallery has always been the 'jonah' at the water works pumping station," said Dr. Davis, "and I know if the water in that gallery is pure, the water in all the other galleries is also pure." The report of the state chemist shows the water supply of this city to be of high standard. Places Blame. The state and city health departments have each collected evidence showing that the first typhoid case in Richmond used Hartman bottled milk, the bottles being washed at the home of this patient in the same water used for cleaning dishes brought from the sick room, and that these bottles were not sterilized at the Hartman dairy. The state chemist has also made an analysis of the water supply used at the Hartman dairy and has found it contained colon bacilli. NAME REMAINS ON THE TICKET Ben Rush's name will appear on the ticket as candidate for council from ethe Third ward in the coming municipal election, following action taken by the Democratic City committee Saturday. In Mr. Rush's absence the committee filed a statement with the city clerk in which was stated that to the committee's knowledge he had spew "aiey in soliciting the nomination. Although Sling the statement, the CQmmittee..claims Rush will not ,be compelled to file an account"6T his expenses until after the electeion. The law provides that candidates nominated by convention shall file such statement within thirty days after the election, say members of the committee, while those nominated in a primary shall file their account thirty days after that event TRAUM. part of the congregation enlisting under the banners of the Central Christian church, with headquarters in the Masonic Building and the remaining continued to hold meetings in the First Christian church. It was the current talk last week that the two churches were making overtures to unite, but these reports have been flatly denied by prominent i members of each congregation. It is said, however, that the Rev. Mr. j Traum feels that by his resignation I from the head of the First Christian i division the consolidation may be efi fected. Might Solve Problem. It is the opinion of members of the First Christian church congregation that the pastor feels that he is the point of contention and desires to leave the city thinking his removal would solve the difficulties between the two divisions. Many members of the- First Christian church are still unaware of the tendering of the resignation by the pastor. When asked regarding the affair, one of the members of the congregation stated that it was customary for the pastor to tender his resignation three months in advance and according to that rule he would not leave the city before the first of tie year.

The smoker was the "get-together" meeting to start the preparations for tne state convention, which will be held here for two days in May, thirty days prior to the national convention. From every standpoint it was the best smoker given by the post, and the enthusiasm for the convention was aroused among the members. The financing will be a big undertaking, $2,500 being necessary to make the convention a success and entertain the visitors for the two days. Post C expects 500 men and about 300 women. The money to entertain the delegates and other visitors will be raised entirely among the members. Harrington Opens Meeting. The smoker was in charge of the executive committee. After a social time, the meeting was opened by T. C. Harrington, chairman of the executive committee of the convention.

Bartel, first president of Post C in 1895, and Horace C. Starr, of Indianapolis, who came especially to attend the smoker, and Perry J. Freeman, gave short talks. The plan of the committee heads is to give the visitors "something different." They want to make the convention one which will be remembered. Held One Convention.

w - - s i i 1 NURSE'S SOCIETY IS PLANNED FOR POOR Domestic Science Association Takes Initiative in Movement. A movement to bring a visiting nurse to the city to administer to the needs of the poor families unable to secure a nurse's services, has been started by the Domestic Science association. Although the intiative was ! taken by the association. Mrs. Benton Addington said they hoped to secure the co-operation of all the citizens and so place the nurse's services at the disposal of any family, which might need her. Although a new Idea in Richmond, all the larger cities of the country and I many of the smaller ones, employ one ;or more of these nurses, whose ex penses in most cases are borne by the Associated Charities. Three possible plans to bring a nurse to this city were discussed by the association. These were that she 'might be employed by the school board, the Associated Charities or by the co-operation of the clubs of the city. A fourth possibility, that of the association supporting the nurse, was considered. The members, however, believed it better to place the nurse in a position to serve all the city's poor, rather than have her dependent upon any one organization, which might support her and consequently expect to have charge of her activities. A committee composed of Mrs. J. T. Giles, Mrs. Edwin Jay and Mrs. Fred Bartel was appointed to investigate the methods of other cities and report to the association soon. The committee has written to Miss Edna G. Henry, of the Indiana Medical School of Indianapolis, asking her to ceme to the city and give a talk on the possibilities in such services and the most feasible methods to be employed. Miss Henry has been connectea with. the medical school for a number of years, and has made a scientific study of social service from the standpoint ot the physician and the nurse. SAILS FOR AMERICA LONDON. Oct. 27. Bramwell Booth, head of the Salvation Army, has sailed for -America, where he will visit relatives and look over the army in the United States.

MEXICAN ELECTION LEAVES HUERTA If! PRESIDENTS OFFICE Neither Gamboa Nor Felix Diaz Receives a Majority Vote.

CAPITAL IS IN ARMS Position of Provisional Exec utive Strengthened by Farce Election. MEXICO CITY. Oct. 27 Return thus fa? show that Fre!i!lcko Gamboa. former minister of foreign affairs and Felix Diaz, are running a close race, but neither one of these mva will have a majority. The number of votes cast is less than one-third of the total voting 'strength of the republic, as required (by the constitution to make an elecItion legal. It is certain that tha catnouc party, headed by Gamboa and supported by Huerta, will control congress. The feature of the election is the fact that it has strengthened Huerta in his position as dictator. HuertaV decree, increasing the army from 80.000 to 150.000 men. when the gov. ernment is short of funds and loans seem unattainable, gives the impression that Huerta is either preparing for a foreign war or expects new unrlstngs as the result of the election farce. Refuse to Vote. In some precincts not a vote was cast, and latest figures indicate that not 4,000 were cast for all the candidates in the federal district, although there are 80.000 registered voters in that section alone. So few voters appeared at some polls that election officials fell asleep and had to be awakened when the legal hour for closing arrived. The law requiring that every 'ballot cast be signed with the name and ad dress of the voter, and many Mexi cans who oposed Huerta were afraid to go on record as favoring Diaz. City Is a Camp. This city took on the appearance of an armed camp today as returns from scattered election districts made it certain that no candidate had received a majority of the votes cast in the presidential contest. Although no disorders attended the balloting here Sunday, and there was no disturbance during the night,' troops .were b rough Into the city at dawn to prevent riots upon promulgation of official announcement from the government that the balloting had resulted In no election. - More than two thousand troops were moved into the city during the early morning. Fear of an outbreak of violence was increased by the receipt of dispatches from Vera Crux stating that Feliz Diaz would leave there during the day and come to the capital. The result of the election means that Victorlano Huerta will remain in office as president. WASHINGTON NOT SURPRISED. Wilson Will Not Recognize Huerta Nor His Party. WASHINGTON. Oct. V. The outcome of the Mexican election caused no surprise in official circles here. It had been recognized all along that an election in Mexico under the prevailing conditions could be nothing but a farce. No matter what the result of the election, the successful candidate will not secure recognition from this government. Huerta's regime will never be recognized, either will any man he selects be accepted. "No more will be made by this country until ft Is clear what Huerta Intends to do." said a government official. Advices from Envoy John Lind and Charge O'Shaughnessy at Mexico Ctty indicated that General Huerta Is expected to remain In power until the meeting of the new congress next month. Whether he then will request that his successor be appointed by congress or whether he will resign tn favor of some man mhom he will designate himself Is problematical. REBELS ATTACK MONTEREY. No Foreigners Killed in Assaults on Mexican City. LAREDO. Tex.. Oct. 27. Mexican rebels renewed their attack on Monterey at dawn today, according to reports received by Mexican leaders In this city. There had been a cessation of fighting there since Saturday night while the rebels were awaiting reinforcements. Though the fighting had been going on fiercely for three days, up to that time the federals had more than held their own. No Americans or other foreigners have been killed or Injured. LOVE FOR MOTHER BETTER THAN DRINK, HOLDS JUDGE ABBOTT "A man never has but one mother, and should not give her cause to worry about him.
