ASSURE SUCCESS TO GREAT MOVEMENT
Asa G. Candler Gives
$75,000 To The
Fund.
CHURCHES SHOW
SPLENDID SPIRIT
Total Fund Will Reach
$300,000 and Insure In
stitution.
Sunday, June IS, 1907, will ever be
mernurable In the history of Atlanta
and Georgia Methodism.
Swept by the burning words of seven
bishops of the Methodist church, stirred
profoundly by the princely gift of *75,-
000 from Asa G. Candler, Methodists of
Atlanta poured Into the Wesley Memo
rial enterprises In one day the mag
nificent sum of 1201,450, additional
subscriptions Monday raising the fund
to more than (202,000. ,
When the mass meeting, following
the eervlces In the churches In the
morning, opened in Wesley Memorial
church Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock,
the building was crowded to suffoca
tion. Not one In that great crowd that
did not feel that great things would
J»PP*n..
With the completion of the roll call of
the subscriptions at the morning serv
ices, the grand total of 1104,922 was
announced. Its effect was electrical,
and the great audience cheered until
the auditorium reverberated.
Bishop Morrison Presides.
Following a song service, and a few
thrilling remarks from Bishop Hen
drlx, Bishop Ward, who waa presiding,
announced that Bishop Morrison would
take charge of the service. Atlantans
knew the venerable bishop well, and
loved him much. He served the First
Methodist church here before he was
called to the bishopric.
And ho*- he did move and stir and
thrill that congregation with his hu
mor, his kindly spirit, until they opened
Mart and purse to him and poured Into
the Wesley Memorial enterprises the
princely sum needed.
"We can not go away from here un
til this matter le closed up.” he said
“When we have pledged the amount
needed we will have the benediction.”
It looked like an Impossible achieve-
mnt. but the white-haired man who
stood forth and pleaded for hi* Lord
had the filth that mdves mountains.
Slowly at drat, the subscriptions came,
hut the totals mounting until they had
reached near (120,000. Then Bishop
Morrison said:
“Will Pledge 1200,000.’’
"I am authorised to state to you
that when your aubscriptlona reach
1125,000 we will cloae up the matter
by pledging the (200,000.”
Like wild tire that mesaage swept
through the audience, and subscrip
tion.'!, large and small, poured In. Upon
the platform sat Dr. I-. G. Broughton,
watching with keen sympathy the trend
of events. He, too, felt what such a
movement meant, for he had Just pass
ed through the heroic endeavor of rais
ing 1150,000 for a great church.
Then the announcement was made
that the subscriptions had passed the
1125,000 mark. A hush felt on the con
gregation os Bishop Morrison raised
his hand, and began speaking.
'I am authorised to say that Asa
Q. Candler adds (25,000 to his subscrip
tion of (50,000. Surely the Lord has
wen with us this day."
Moved by one Impulse the congrega
tion leaped to feet and cheered,
laughed, W ept and shouted. And upon
•he platform seven bishops stood with
radiant faces and streaming eyes at
the consummation of a great work,
‘hen the grand old hymn, “Praise God
from Whom Alt Blessings Flow,"
rolled majestically and triumphantly
°“t on the soft June air.

At the conclusion of the meeting
Major R, j. Guinn, chairman of the
ventral committee and one of the mov-
!"* spirits In the work, stated that he
believed the total would ultimately
roach (100,000.

So Says Dr. Jolui E. White,
Before Meeting of
Ministers.
MAY OUST SCHMITZ
IS GODLESS PLACE FROM MAYOR'S CHAIR
Soldier* at Fort McPnereon are going
to th* devil, and the reservation Itself
I* the most Godless place In Georgia,
according to the belief of Rev. Dr. John
E. White, and It la probable that elforte
will be made by the Bapttat ministers
of the city to spread the gospel among
the wearers of Uncle Sam'e khaki.
The subject waa brought up at the
weekly meeting Monday of the Bap
tist ministers, when Dr. White told of
the conversation of two soldiers of the
post. He pointed out that It was the
duty of the minister* to work among
the soldiers at the post, and he said
they were a fine lot of men and should
be looked after. He declared that the
poet wes the most Godless plac* In
Georgia and said the men should be
surrounded with better Influences.
Rev. C. N. Donaldson, of the Inman
Park mission school, took up the sub
ject and declared the aoldler* found low
dives and saloon* for their places of
amusement.
“It I* a shame," said Mr, Donaldson,
•not to look after thee* men. They are
fine fellows and many of them come
from our best families. I am sorry
to say that the ofilcer* are not dis
tlngulshed for their piety.”
He told of some experience he had
In army post* working In conjunction
with the chaplain, and he suggested
that It be ascertained who was the
chaplain at Fort McPherson and offer
the co-operetlon of the Baptist minu
ter*. Further than that no action wa*
taken.
INAUGURATION ON
MITCHELL ST. SIDE
Instead of having the Inaugural piri
form on' the Waehlngton and Hunter
street side of the capttol, the commit
tee has decided to place It on the
Washington and Mitchell street side.
It was found after examination and
measurements that there war more
room at thla end of the capttol grounds,
and the shade there Is belter. Since the
Inaugural address Is to be delivered at
noon on Saturday, June 29.
Supervisors Holding Meet
ing Monday and May
Take Action.
San FrancUco, June 17.—The super
visors are meeting today. It Is expect
ed that preliminary steps will be taken
to reorganize the city government.
While It may not be deemed advluble
to read Mayor Schmitz out of his
office, action will be taken, should no
legal obstacle* Intervene In the mean
time, which will lay the foundation for
such a step.
Second Victim
of Launch Found
Special to The Georgian.
Norfolk, Va., June I7.r-The second
body of the eleven victims, who per-
lahed when the launch of the battleship
Minnesota went down In Hampton
Roads a week ago tonight, waa found
at 9 o'clock this morning, floating in
the waters of lower Chenapeake Boy
directly In front of the cottage line eaat
of Ocean View, a summer resort eight
miles north of Norfolk. The body w^s
discovered by a party of three fisher
men.
The body Is that of a midshipman,
but as yet It has not been identified.
It was fastened to a rope and towed
In by the fishermen to shore.
The bdy could not be Identified.
St. Petersburg, June 17.—The revolt
of Poland is Imminent and the exar to
day has 30,000 troops surrounding Its
capital, Warsaw.
Socialists and nationalists In the city
are being arrested by the police.
Houses are being searched continuous
ly and at all hours by thousands of
secret police.
The dissolution of the douma and the
promulgation of the new election law
disfranchises Poland and leaves It with
little or no representation. There can
be no doubt that Poland will again
light for Its life.
The government knows that only a
spark Is needed to kindle the Are and
start the revolution In Poland.
More troops are being hurried to the
Polish frontier and all efforts are being
made to suppress the uprising with the
spilling of much blood as s»*on as It
starts.
The sailors of the czar's Black sea
fleet, as soon as they received word
of the dissolution of the douma, muti
nied, and today It Is believed the first
spark of a revolution that will spread
over the whole empire has been fired.
A secret order has been issued by
Premier Stolypln to the St. Petersburg
chief of police to arrest all the mem
bers of the douma who opposed the
government. The arrests are being
made. Among those arrested are many
representatives of the first douma.

tetive Heeret News Service.
The Hague, June 17.—The pessimis
tic tone of M. Kelldorff, the Rueslan
ambassador to France, president of the
second International peace conference.
In hi* opening address, while more or
le*» disappointing to the progressive
element In the conference, has by ho
mean* dampened their ardor, nor de
stroyed their hope that real progress
toward the goal of universal peace
will be made before the congress passes
Into history.
The progressives, under the lead
ership of the United States, will con
servatively, but none the less forcibly,
present their views to the congress nml
they will be supported by the full
weight of the best element among the
delegates. It. can be truthfully said
that President Kelldorff's speech was
far below the general sentiment of the
congress.
Day of Conference*.
This haa been, a day of conferences
among the delegates. There are many
delicate questions to be settled even
before the appointment of the five
principal committee* which will really
dominate the w ork to be'done hero.
A notable feature of the convention
le th. large number of noted lawyers
who are here as delegates. This may
be regarded ns an augury for good.
For lawyers are prone to look on all
sides of a question and reach a compro
mise whore compromise Is possible.
The best Impression now Is that the
question of disarmament will hardly
be brought officially before the confer
ence. It had been hoped by those who
ore In favor of a declaration on this
subject In the congress that the United
8tates might be Induced to take the in
itiative, hut I understand tho Ameri
can delegates have concluded that the
question Is not a vital one to them and
that Inasmuch a* It would have no ef
fect whatever on the question and may
be regarded ns an European question
that they will not take the Initiative,
although disposed to act with the na
tions which arc favorable to a limita
tion of armament program. N
Douma Delegates May Come.
The Dutch government I* liable to
have to face a difficult and disagreeable
question if, as Is threatened, a number
of the delegate* to the dissolved Rus
sian douma come to The Hague for the
purpose of attacking Russia arming the
delegates.
With a Russian president nnd the
congress held under Russian auspices
tho doumaite* could not be allowed a
free hand without seriously offending
the Russians, while any attempt to
mussle them would very likely create
a bad feeling among the delegates from
governments which favor n constitu
tional government In Russia. The dis
solution of the dounm at the very time
of the opening of the conference is re
garded as most unfortmmtc.
