At the morning service Bishop Can dler confined hftnself to the mission ary work In foreign lands. “More prayers and more workers are not needed,” he said, "but more conse crated Christian money to convert the heathens.” The night sermfin was the more representatives at the capitol Mon day. Columbia, S. C., and Birmingham, Ala., were the only cities voted upon at the final ballot, and the Alabama city won by a vote of 17 to 1C. The Georgia -delegation boiled the caucus and neither Atlanta nor Sa vannah was voted upon by the cau cus. which was attended by repre sentatives of the delegations from the Washington, D. C., Jan. 7.—A strong delegation from Alabama Is In Washington, to secure the location of the sub-treasury In Birmingham. The delegation, headed by ex-Gov- emor Joseph T. Johnston, consists of Charles J. Allison, 0. W. Pratt, E. W, Barrett and Colonel E, E. Russell. They held an Informal cau- senators and ' cus with Congressman Bankhead, of sensational of the two. Bishop Can- states of Florida, South Carolina dlcr said that upon coming to Vir-■ Alabama and Tenne&ee. ginla he had read of where two rob bers had held up a train and at the point of a pistol made the passengers give them their money and valuables. This offense, he said, was palty as compared with the way certain ‘rail road directors had robbed the public by watered stock and the great amount of traffic they attempted to conduct regardless of consequences or the safety of the public. "They regarded money and big div idends higher than they did the lives of the people,” he,declared. "The railroad directors snould not be sur prised,” he said, “that two robbers should hold up a train. The robbers only frightened, the pasengers and did not kill them, like the railroads." Speaking of capital and labor, he said that he was taking no sides on the question. He said: "If I saw two eagles soaring toward the skies, I would enjoy the flight. Betwen capital and labor. It is who can get the most of It. It Is like two vultures fighting for the biggest half of a carrion crow, and I want It understood that I am taking no pari In a buzzard fight Bishop ^ Candler deplored Sunday newspapers, and Sunday trains In America^ and said that they would stop If the public would cease' pa tronizing them. He could not see how conditions in a city like Danville warranted Sunday papers and trains, when they were not necessary In a place like London. The sermon of' Bishop Candler was along the lines of the com mercial tendency of the present age, the struggle and the greed for gold, which the nation worshiped. He compared this era to the times of King Solomon, and preijicted a down fall of America like nations of old, unless the people worshiped mammon less and God more. Both of the ser mons of the bishop created a deep lm- Reprosenlative Moon, of Tennessee, first called the caucus to order at 3 o'clock, when nearly fifty senators and representatives were present.

Birmingham Is In the fight to a fin lsb, and if Georgia, or any other state nemains out of the caucus of the southeastern state delegations, those taking part will seek to have the de cision of the caucus approved by Sec retary Shaw. If the secretary does not aprove the selection of the caucus so held. It is intimated that Congressman Bankhead will defeat the subtreasury bill before the committee on ways and. means, of which he Is a member. If Georgia remains out, as her delegates believe she has a right to do, a bill naming Birmingham or Columbia could no doubt be defeated before the com mittee on finance of the senate, of which senator Bacon Is a member.

Only one Florida vote was cast, that of Representative Clark, of Florida, who voted for Columbia on all ballots. The Georgia delegation Insisted that the caucus was not called with any authority, as Secretary Shaw had no right to refer the location of the sub- treasury to a caucus. Representative Livingston and other Georgia mem bers also said Secretary’ ShaV had as sured them that South Carolina, Geor gia and Alabama were the only states which would have a voice In the loca tion of the new branch of the treasury and before withdrawing from the cau cus declared very hotly that assur ances /given them by the secretary of the treasury had been violated by ex tending a vote to Tennessee and Flor ida.
