FIVE YEARS' MEETING ACTIVITIES EXPLAINED AT SOCIAL SESSION

WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 21. The congress ot the United States is now

and luncheon which was given Friday

night in the Friend offices and South Eighth Street Friends' church. Mem-j bers of the various Friends' churches of the city were present at the meeting and were shown the working system of the offices and told of the accomplishments of the organization. Br. Walter F. Dexter, of Earlham college, explained to those present the various Friends' branches, and told the important' part played by each. He snoke on "The Mail Bag," exnlaining the important part which the mail and office work pVyed in the work of the Fiv Years Meeting. William E. Thomas spoke briefly on "Beginning the day right," Alonzo M. Gardner on "That. Grand and Glorious Feeling." Dr. Allen D. Hole, of Earlham. on "A Number of Things," and K. G. Hill gave a short talk on general work of the Friends. Gives Organization Data. A pamphlet given out to each person

nresent. contained the following information: Fourteen boards and committees aggregating 247 members, nvder appointment by the Five Year3 meeting and its constituent Yearly Meetings, have both a home and a work-shop 1n the central office building of the Five Years meeting. Seven periodicals, with second class mailing privileges, are issued from the central office. The paid up subscriptions number 42,000. More than 14 million pages of reading matter were circulated among paid up subscribers for these periodicals last year. During the three months just ended. 5.773 letters were sent out from the central offices. Much of the correspondence was In reply to inquiries. Periodical Information. During the same period, 12.775 circulars were sent out. These gave timely information to pastors and to members in general. While the desk, typewriter and mail bag are necessary instruments in the administration of a large work, theie also has been the additional out-reach

evangelization education and or

al horse racing, but as a matter of

fact ' probably would prevent newspapers from printing sporting news of any kind and give one government agency a fairly strong hold on the press of the country. Professional reform agencies are actively behind the measure, trying to defend it from the attacks which have come from every side. The bill now is before a sub-committee ot the senate judiciary committee. There has been expressed before the committee not only fear of the immediate effect of the legislation, if it becomes a law, but apprehension because of the general tendency of such legislation. There has been freely expressed to the committee holding the hearings the opinion that the measure is merely a symptom of the trend

of legislation toward regulating every

of the reformers," Mr. Thomason went on. "They would be before you later with some similar argument about stock gambling."

As a mater of fact, strict interpretation of the law might prevent newspapers from printing the prices of stocks and bonds and the dealings in them, it the post office department should choose to be severe in its administration of the law. The ridiculous side of the proposed law was shown by the fact that, in some states to tip a man off on a horse race might incur a penalty of five years in jail, while being convicted of "involuntary manslaughter" in killing the-same man would result in only three years in the penitentiary. Thus it would be frfr better to kill the man than tell him anything about the prospects of some horse. Mr. E. II. Baker, of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, told the committee that strict enforcement of the proposed law

would result in the suppression of

into governmental straight-jackets. Senator Stanley, of Kentucky, one of the strongest opponents of the bill, has this to say about the measure: "When you have placed a censorship on the freedom of speech and the press, you have not merely invaded one constitutional right; you have imperiled them all. Destroy the freedom

of the press, and your hands are unshackled to destroy the freedom of conscience, immunity from arrest, or any other outrage or act of tyranny against which the people are not protected by constitutional guarantees." This, the senator thinks, is the worst phase of the "legislative itch" afflicting the country. It has been pointed out to the committee that passage of the bill, unless

the president vetoes it, would impose restrictions on the American press far more severe than those imposed on the papers of autocratic Europe at its worst. Far-Reaching Effects The bill would provide that anyone guilty of sending information through the mails upon which betting odds

could be based, or of sending the ac-

Besides the mother he is survived by a brother, Daniel Stanley, and father, Ota Stanley of this city. -

LOUIS PEQUGNOT GREENVILLE, Ohio. Jan. 21. Louis Pequgnot, for nearly 20 years a resident of Greenville, is dead of liver complaint. He was 53 years old and a bachelor. He is survived by three brothers and one sister. The body was taken to the home of his sister, Mrs. Mary Woods, in Versailles Saturday, and funeral services were held in the St. Dennis Catholic church.

nnization which has brought the f-x-ltual odds, could be sent to the peni-

ccutive staff into personal touch with individuals and groups in widely ex- : ended areas. During the year 1921,' 151 sermons were delivered by members of the Central office staff. The number of addresses delivered in the same year was 213. These sermons and addresses were given in more than 200 different local and superior meetings. A total of 17S committee meetings were attended by one or more of the otaff, and 181 group conferences were held. In addition to these, there were meetings of the advisory committee of the Central offices. The staff of the Central offices, five of whom have taken advanced degrees follows: Walter C. Woodward, general secretary of the Five Years Meeting; also the editor of the American Friend Sylvester Jones, assistant general secretary of the meeting; B. Willis Beede, acting general secretary of the American Friends Board of Foreign Missions; Ruthanna M. Sims, executive

secretary of the board of Home Missions: Clarence E. Pickett, executive secretary of the board of Young Friends activities; David E. Henley, manager of the Bible school board and book and supply house. The members of the executive and clerical Maff of the Central offices have been reared and trained in different yearly meetings.

tentiary for a period of five years. A

strict interpretation of this would work out so that a school girl writing to her parents that she had bet 10 cents on a basketball game could be imprisoned. Senator Stanley pointed out this fact to the committee, and added, "It may be said that the judges would not impose such severe penalties, but one might be found occasionally who had as little sense as the senate of the United States." Opponents of the alleged "censorship bill" have pointed out repeatedly that the legislature of any state where racing is permitted could have all the tracks in the state closed within 10 minutes after the legislature convened if it was so desired. Newspaper publishers and the American Newspaper Publishers' association have been very active in opposition to the measure. It has been pointed out by S. E. Thomason, one of the officers of this organization, that probably not more than 10 per cent of the

Fapers included in the membership of

the association print racing tips of!

any kind, and not more than 20 per cent print racing entries and the results with betting odds. "Under this law as it is drawn," Mr. Thomason pointed out, "under'an autocratic administration of the post' office department, we could no longer safely print the fact that a notorious embezzler had won $500,000 at Iatonia, that large sums were being wagered on a prize fight, or that on account of large

sums bet, tne lacuaies oi rnnceion and Harvard had begun an investigation of betting on football games.

This is the first step in the program

pie bet on the weather, he said. "Shall we suppress the weather report?"

W. F. Wiley, a prominent newspaperman of Cincinnati and Washington, directly charged before the committee that the bill was not really aimed at racing at all, but was plainly and simply an effort to muzzle the newspapers

of the country through the imposition of a government censorship. He point

ed out exactly, how the broad language of the bill might work out to prevent printing even the results of non-professional athletics. "The fact that Ohio State university beat Michigan at football." he said, "and that Michigan beat Illinois, would suggest to gamblers that Ohio State will beat Illinois. News from baseball training camps, or of an injury to a ball player, would be useful to gamblers. Would Bar Market News "If this bill is passed and congress

wants to be consistent," he continued.

"it would have to forbid publication of stock quotations and bank clearings, for pools are made on them as well as on baseball news published in the newspapers. What this comes to is an attempt to Russianize and destroy the American press." One witness before the committee

iranKiy declared that there were a million people who bet on horse racing, and that he did not in any way condemn the "evil of gambling." This

was Henry D. Oxnard. president of the American Beet Sugar Refining company, and a well known horse breeder. Said he: "I represent the people who want this racing news, who like horse racing and betting on horse races. There are a million people like myself who want the. news the paper provides us with. I don't want all the joy taken out of life." Canon W. S. Chase, rector of an Episcopal church in Brooklyn, one of the defenders of the proposed legislation, declared that reformers were the authors of liberty in all ages. "Who was it won liberty for Amer-

Lady May Cambridge (above) only daughter of the Earl of Athlone, who is one of the eight bridesmaids of nobility that will attend . Princess Mary on her bridal morning.

ica? Canon Chase demanded before the committee.

"The American people," Col. McCor-

mick, well known Chicago publisher,

replied. "It was religious conviction," the canon rejoined. "Who freed England from Charles I?" he then demanded. "Cromwell," said McCormick. "Yes, Cromwell, the Puritan." "And who," asked Col McCormick, "dug up Cromwell's bones after he was dead? An Episcopalian." "I was not aware of that," the canon admitted.

withstanding that the court of appeals j tjl aj'. 3.

decided that the county commissioners exceeded their authority when they passed a resolution to oust County Treasurer Dan Brown from office. Prosecutor John Hoel still insists that the treasurer must be removed. Thursday afternoon the prosecutor filed a reply to the answer of Brown's attorneys in the quo warranto proceeding in court of arpeals, denying all allegations made by the defense. Attorneys for Mr. Brown stated today that when the public got the facts the people would be more surprised

than they were when some startlin

exposures were maae in

of Treasurer Brown. The damage case of J. E. Folkereth against Eddie Ayette for $2,500 was called up in common please court before Judge Risinger of Eaton, and a jury Friday morning. The suit is the outcome of an automobile accident which occurred on East Fourth street at a crossing of Ash street in the fall of 1920.
