S 0 TR RBTR LA T M R T AL R oA B A O EWE .AN HOOVERFIGHTS Secretary Asks Resignation of | Shipping Commissioner at New York. Department of Commerce Says Special | Agents Found That Systematic ‘ Graft Has Been the Rule | for Several Years. i Washington, Aug. 24.—Graft is ram'pant in the offices of federal shipping | commissioners, and there is to be a | “clean sweep” in that branch of the ' bureau of navigation at Atlantic as ! well as Pacific ports, it was officially | stated on Tuesday at the Department lof Commerce. Secretary Hoover requested the res- | ignation of Shipping Commissioner \‘innn at New York.. Hoover said he “would clean up” the New York bulreau with a *“scrub brush” to remove 'all traces of corruption. | _ Special agents found that in New | York systematic graft has been the ' rule among all employees for several | years. ! Reports laid before Secretary Hoov- | er revealed that the graft secured by | government officers in the form of se- ' curities of shipping companies far ex- ' ceeded the salaries paid to govern- . ment employees. ' Hundreds of thousands of dollars ' are alleged to have been so paid to | government agents fer special conces- | slons. { The “clean-up” at New York is thel | forerunner of <drastic measures at | many other ports to reorganize com- | pletely this branch of the service. | Commerce department officials said jwith regard to the New York situa- | Hon that no evidence has been ob- | lained to show that Commissioner | Quinn participated directly in the | graft, but other proof is before the | department which tends to show that ' he was lax in eliminating these and i other practices. IS FINAL OFFER TO ERIN, | —— } Premier Lloyd George Says Peace | . Terms Are Best Britain Has to Offer—Rejection Means War, | London, Aug. 22.—The British gov- | ernment, declared Premier Lloyd George on Friday, in making its set- | tlement proposals to Ireland, had de- . cided on putting the whole of its terms into the letter to Eamonn de Valera without keeping anything back, and ' the sequel had proved, he said, that it was right in adopting that course. - “I want to make it clear,” continued the prime minister, “that the govern- - ment did not put forth haggling terms, ‘ but put forward everything they could - possibly concede to purchase peace | . and the good will of the Irish people. In Ireland, itself, so far as I can see, the doubt is not so much as to the terms, but as to whether the government really means them. ' “That is a question of working out the terms—of elucidation and elaboration, and not a changing of the terms. The outline cannot be altered nor the basis changed. “If there is rejection, and final rejection beyond hope of negotiation, steps will undoubtedly have to be taken which the executive ought not and won't wish to take without first con- - sulting parliament and giving it full opportunity to expressing approval or disapproval of any steps we might pro- ! pose to it.” ! | HUNT FIRE RUINS FOR DEAD’ Macon Firemen Think More Than i Three Whose Bodies Are i Found Perished. i Macon, Ga., Aug. 24.—Three pel‘-i sons are known to have lost their | lives on Monday in a fire which de- | stroyed the Brown house, a frame | hotel here, and firemen expressed thei belief the death list would be mate- | rially increased when the ruins of the | structure had been fully explored. | John K.

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Courage in the Face of Persecution. ¥YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Preaching with Persecutions. I. Paul and Silas in Jail (vv. 19-26). 1. The oceasion (vv. 19-24). When the demon was cast out of the maid her supernatural power was gone; theréfore, the source of revenue was dried up. This so exasperated her owners that they had Paul and Silas arraigned before the magistrates on a false charge. They ®harged them with changing their customs, but nothing had been said about customs. They acted the hypocrite, for it was not customs, but their illicit gains that were interfered with, Those men l ought to have rejoiced that such a blessing had come to this poov girl. | They cared more for their gain than for her welfare. This is true of the ; inigquitous crowding together of tlwi poor in unsanitary quarters in our ten- ; ement districts and the neglect of pre- | cautions for the safety of employees | in shops and stores. Without any | chance to defend themselves they | were stripped and beaten by the angry | mob and then remanded to jail, :md' were made fast in stocks in the inner ; prison. 1 2. Their behavior in jail (v. ‘_‘.’.).; | They were praying and singing hymns | |to God. It seems quite natural that 3 they should pray under such condi- | tions, but to sing hymns under such | circumstances is astonishing to all who ; have not come into possession of the | { peace of God through Christ. l-Zvvn? l\\i!h their backs lacerated and smart- | ' ing, and feet fast in stoecks compelling | the most painful attitude in the dun- | geon darkness of the inner prison, | with a morrow before them stilled with } extreme uncertainty, their hearts went | up to God in gratitude. ! ’ 3. Their deliverance (v. 26). 'l'heg Lord wrought deliverance by sending | ’n great earthquake which opened the | prison doors and removed the chains ! | from all hands. i 11. The Conversion of the Jailer (vv. 27-34). f The jailer’s sympathy did not go out | very far for the prisoners, for after | they were made secure he went m! sleep. The earthquake suddenly 5 aroused him. He was about to Kill | himself, whereupon PPaul assured him i that the prisoners were all safe. This | was too much for him. What he had ' heard of their preaching and nnw! what he had experienced caused him | to come as a humble inquirer after | salvation. Paul clearly pointed out the wav to be saved—"Delieve on the | Lord Jesus Christ.” The word “be- | lieve” means to yield to and fully obey. | The proof that the jailer was saved is | threefold: i 1. Transformation from brutality to | tenderness, He who a littie while ago could with impunity lay on the cruel ; lash is now disposed to wash and molIH\ the wonnds. ! 2. Confession of Christ in baptism. | Those who have really been convirted | of sin and have experienced the saving | grace of God, delight to confess their | faith in Him under whatever circumstance they may be. ! 3. His whole household baptized. When a man's family are willing to | follow him you may be sure that HU': case is genuine. ! lil. The Magistrates Humbled (vv. | 35-40). ‘ , The earthquake brought fear upon the magistrates. They gave leave for the prisoners to go, but now they re- | fuse to go, claiming that their rights as Roman citizens have been violated, and demand a public vindieation. PPaul was willing to suffer for Chi S sake, but he used the ocecasion to show them | that persecuting men who preach the gospel is an offense against the law | of God and man. ! IV. Preaching in Thessalonica (vv.? 17-19). | At Thessalonica he found open hearts. He followed his usual custom | of going first to the Jew (v. 1). After | witnessing to the Jews he went to the s (dentiles. Concerning the Christ he atlirmed : ! 1. “It behooved Christ to suffer” ! (v. 3). No plainer teaching is to lu-‘ found anywhere than the suffering of Christ (Isa. 53). 2. The resurrection of Christ from | the dead (v. 3). ! 3. The kingship of Jesus (v. 7 Tast | as it wi s-wf'i? r Paul to go intc the synagogue and “open and : ce | that Christ must suffer. so it < NOW \ |l"u‘4!!'-;i that someone go into our churches and Sm \ chools and ‘ Wor ‘ g 2 { too n t.wrr?r‘i#- I e ‘ The resu ¢ i ng | that many Greeks 3 | f V.

m Arrest of Charles W. French, i Chief of Gang. Frustrates | Further Operations. 3 bl i Leader Was About to Spread Hla! Wings Into Higher Flight of Finance; Many Millions Are Saved. ‘ Chicago, Aug. 25.—The purchase and l wreckage of banks as well as individuals, was the goal of the ambitions of Charles W. French, chief of the swindling gang, now under arrest. Industrial concerns of all sorts were subordinate to this consumning desire, and were utilized as “kiting” schemes without the slightest compunction. The federal raid of Monday came just in time to prevent French from spreading his wings into a higher flight of finance than he had yet essayed, and saved numerous depositors and. stockholders several million dollars. This is condensation of the high lights of the confession made to Assistant District Attorney John V. Clinnin by Alva W. Harshman, first a vietim of and then secretary to French.‘ and now ready to “come clean” to aid ! | Justice for the sake of revenge on the; i man who consistently has “held out” | i any participation in the profits of the} { French high-fiying exploitation syn- } dicate, ; | Meanwhile, the federal authorities | | are attempting to assay the value of | securities of dubious worth, supposed- } 1y totaling $1,602.000. found in French’s rooms at the Hotel La Salle, when he ! was arrested.
