BANCROFT ADDRESS WILL OPEN CAMPAIGN FOR SUNDAY SCHOOL Efforts to arouse a great Sunday school interest in the city will begin with an address by E. Donn Bancroft, of Columbus, Ohio, before a men's mass meeting at the Grace M. E. church Sunday afternoon. This address will mark the beginning of the Grace church's "Mobilization Week." Mr Bancroft is an expert in Sunday

School affairs and comes with the idea j of assisting the leaders of Grace sunday school in their campaign. With a email percentage of the rltizenshin of Richmond in Sunday school, leaders of the Sunday school organization see great opportunities for the upbuilding of the Sunday schools of the city and mean to make their school sufficiently attractive to all who are not affiliated with a school at the present time. With a large attendance promised at the teachers training class soon to be started by the City Sunday School association, and a special three year course in teacher training about to be inaugurated in the regular class work of the school, special attention is to be given to teaching the Scriptures to those who wish to acquaint themselves with that interesting subject. Mr. Bancroft will make an address in the evening which will be followed by an open forum of the Sunday school leaders. Albertson Speaks Monday. On Monday night, E. T. Albertson. reeretary of the State Sunday School association, will be there and lend his aid in tho project of the week. Mr. Albertson has a wide acquaintance among the leaders of the Sunday school movement in Richmond, and his address will be for all who may care to hear him. The enthusiasm of the week will be carried on by the appearance of Mr. II. C. Wilson, a member of the Methodist Sunday school board of Chicago, who is an expert in Sunday school affairs. He will aid in the mobilizing of the forces and give any other suggestions which may be helpful. These meetings will be followed by class meetings on Wednesday, when every class in the school will have a special class meeting to discuss ways of promoting the interest of each class. Thursday will bring about the beginning of the climax of the week and will be observed by a general get-together in the evening, at a banquet, when the results obtained by the foregoing meetings of the week may be discussed and realized on. The week of mobilization will be followed, on Sunday by a rally day program and will be the real start of what promises to be the greatest year in tlv history' of Grace Sunday school, and it is hoped to bring about a new citywide enthusiasm for Sunday school workers. DETECTIVES TESTIFY IN M'ARDLE TRIAL (By Associated rress) CLEVELAND, 0.. Oct. 6 Detective Henry J. Senff of the New York police department and Peter Christensen, former chief of the Lakewood police department are to be two of the principal witnesses for the state today at the trial of Marian McArdle, charged with first degree murder of Daniel Kaber, her step father, two years ago. Through their testimony county prorecutor Edward C. Stanton said he hopes to prove that the twentyvear old girl not only knew of the plot of her mother, Mrs. Eva Catherine Kaber, to kill Kaber, but also assisted in it. Senff and Christensen were present when Miss McArdle is alleged to have made a statement in New York implicating her mother and Mrs. Mary Brickel. her 67 year old grandmother. Mrs. Kaber was convicted for her part in the crime. Mrs. Brickel is awaiting trial. In his opening argument to the jury yesterday. Louis F. Hart, of Chicago, retained by Thomas E. McArdle, the defendant's father, said: "On the night Dan Kaber was murdered there came a test of Marian McArdle's love for her mother whether she should tell the truth or lie. She chose her mother and that is why she is on trial for her life." McArdle was expected to arrive here from Chicago today to assist his daughter. He probably will be a witness for the defense.

By Wellington MARINE CORPS HEAD URGES NATION KEEP EFFICIENT ARMY (By Associated Press) COLUMBUS. O.. Oct. 6.

Woodside, commander in chief of the veterans of foreign wars, in addresses at the convention of the American Red Cross last night. Hope for everlasting peace, however, was voiced by both these military men. who asserted no one hates war as much as those who have been through it. "Service to humanity, service to those who need service. It not only helps those who are served, but lifts us up. That is the basis of the Red Cross." Such is the conception of the program of the organization as sum med up by John Barton Payne, newly appointed chairman of the Central committee of the American Red Cross, in his first appearance as the active head of the organization. National Commander John G. Emery, of the American Legion, said the American people owe 100 per cent obligations to the service men. Urges Benefits Extended Extension of the benefits of voca tional training to widows and children of those who died in the service, and inducement of corporations to give employment to former service men in preference to "foreigners" was urged by Mr. Woodside. He also favored adjusted compensation for all service men and unlimited aid to the disabled. Reunions of overseas and home base workers will feature today's sessions. Operations abroad will be outlined by Dr. A. Rosshill, vice-chairman in charge of foreign operations, at the afternoon session, while Chas. R. Crane, former ambassador to China, will tell of the value of Red Cross service to suffering foreign peoples.

WORKS BOARD FAVORS AIDING UNEMPLOYED WITH MUNICIPAL JOBS

Discussion of unemployment and possible measures for its relief in ithis city was a feature of tne board of works meeting, Thursday morning. The prevailing sentiment of the board was that if anything could be done by the city to employ more men, it would be done. "If we don't pay money out in wages, we may pay it out In soup lines," declared Howard Dill, manager of city water works, in discussing the situation. Mr. Dill was present to talk H over the proposal of Benton Heights residents to have a main laid between School and Stevens streets on Boyer. The proposed main would be 713 feet long. Fire Chief Miller also was present in the early part of the meeting, but was forced to leave when a fire alarm rang. Extension of the city main was deferred until the city engineer could take up the matter with Fire Chief Miller and Mr. Dill. He will report at the next meeting. Would Lay Main. In case the proposed main Is laid, according to Mr. Dill, the water company may start construction of a conto hook up Katun. Hunt and Boyer streets. This work would employ about 30 men for several weeks. The widening of School street also was brought up at the meeting Thursday morning. It is possible that this matter will be taken, up at once in order to furnish employment to more men. School street connects with the Hagerstown road. It run3 east and west at the extreme north side o town. The regular bills for the past month were allowed at the meeting. The matter of establishing a rest room in co-operation with a local bank was taken up by the board. Consultat'i with the bank developed the fact that there was little chance of such a rest room being established. The board will report to the council. Several petitions for street improvements and matters in regard to cleaning streets, as referred to the board at the last council meeting were referred to the proper authorities for action. SENATOR SMOOT'S TAX t PLAN IS CRITICIZED BY SENATOR LENROOT CBy Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Oct. 6 The Smoot manufacturers' sales tax plan drew fire today from Senator Lenroot, Republican, Wisconsin, who told the senate it utterly ignored the rules that ! taxes should be' imposed, according to ability to pay and that it would be impossible of administration because of the difficulty in determining who should pay the tax. Where the three per cent tax proposed could not be passed on to the consumer. Senator Lenroot said it would add to the already heavy burdens of manufacturers now operating without profit to give employment to labor and that if it could be shifted tc the consumer it would be subject to the same criticism as is the excess profits tax in that each dealer handlingthe goods would charge the ultimate consumer a commission for collecting the tax. The Wisconsin senator gave several illustrations to support his argument that such a tax could not be admin istered and would result in "chaos in the treasury department. Cites Example "It is to be observed,' he said, "that the tax is to be imposed upon every when sold, leased or licensed for consumption or use witnout runner process of manufacture a textile mill in New England manufacturers dress goods. I assume that if cloth so manufactured is sold over the retail counter to the housewife it is subject to the tax to be paid by the New England mill, but if sold to a garment manufacturer it is not subject. "Is the government going to follow the dress goods from the mill in New England, through the broker and wholesaler down to the housewife in the home to determined the tax to be paid by the New England mill? Tho manufacturer cannot know what became of the product. There is no way on earth for him to determine whether he is subject to a tax or not, or bow much." Senator Lemroot, said the same condition would obtain with respect to flour, sugar, coal, oil and other commodities and added "our tax laws are bad enough now. Do not let us make them worse by attempting to levy taxes the amount of which is impossible of determination."
