Spepial Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON May If. This was
busy day for the militant suffragette
bomb squad. A watchman in West-
bourne Park discovered one of the
now famous suffragette infernal ma
chines on a bench. It was a glass
tube filled with gunpowder arid shot.
It had a fuse attached, hut was not
lighted. Attached to the bomb was a
card upon which was written: "Gly*.
us votes and we will give you pea. e."
Another bomb was discovered on
the steps of the Rotherhithe Publ.
Library. This bomb was wrapped In
a copy of The Suffragette.’ the ofl'
rial organ of the Woman’s Social and
Political Union. While its make-up
was dangerous. It was not contrived
so as to explode.
Another glass-cased bomb was
placed in the postofflee at Wands
worth. a suburb of this city. ■ It con
tained a powerful explosive and slugs.
A card bearing the suffrage color®
and the inscription. ‘‘Votes for wom
en.’ was attached to it.
Think They Lack Nerve.
Scotland Yard takes hope from the
fart that the militants apparently lack
the “nerve" to jeopardize human life
While bombs have been left in ex
posed places where they might have
been set off by carelessness or over
sight. the women have taken precau
tions to prevent explosions.
Bombs containing clockwork at
tachmerfts and detonators usually
were fixed so that an explosion would
be averted, while some of the ma
chines containing powder and fuses
were dampened so that there could he
no Ignition.
These assuram es. however, hav *
not allayed the public fear. The be
lief Is general that "the women will
yet commit an outrage which may
cost dearly in human life.”

The detective division of Scotland
Yard, which has been busy gathering
evidence against the six miltant -lead
ers. has dscovered that most of the

New Liquor Problem
Puzzles Uncle Sam
WASHINGTON. May 16.—Col W.
H. Osborn, Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, has struck a snag. He
has been asked to pass upon the
question: "Does whiskey first soak
ed up by a barrel and then squeezed
out have to pay the Government tax
of $1.10 a gallon?"
Whisky manufacturers have
found that from one to two gallons
of good whiskey can be forced out
of an empty wooden barrel which
has contained fifty or more gallons.
More than $1,000,000 in taxes; is in
volved. The principal point is:
"Did not the Government Collect
the tax before the whiskey soaked
into the wood?"

Presbyteries of United Church
Asking More for Dependents
Than Can Be Furnished.
Declaring Presbyteries are asking
for larger appropriations for depend
ents than it is possible to make with
the present funds, the annual report
of the Board of Ministerial Relief,
to the United Presbyterian Assembly,
asks that the amount of money at the
disposal of the board be increased
for next year.
The report says:
"The board has been carrying on
its work up to the limit of its ability
Tne gifts of the church do not meet
by one-half the grants of the board.
Average 6 Cents a Member.
"But a trifle over 6 cents a member
for the year was all that was given
last year for this worthy work. The
income from the Endowment Fund
was larger than ever before. These
two sources of income form the con
tingent fund out of which grants are
made.
"Presbyteries are asking for larger
appropriations for their dependent
ones than the hoard is able to make.
They are very urgent in pleading thai
increase be made, asthey nre great
ly Reeded. The board earnestly asked
the committee on appropriations to
raise the percentage of this work to
.02. This would admit of an increase
in a small way of the amounts paid,
which in some cases is much needed."
Fifteen on Honor Roll.
The report states there have been
04 names on the roll?* during the year.
Of thes** 32 were ministers. 58 were
widows, and 4 were orphans. There
have been 9 deaths and 2 withdraw
als. Fifteen ministers arc on the
honor roll. The rule allows ministers
who are 70 years of age., and who
have been 30 years in the active
ministry pf the church, to be placed
on the roll and remain without re
newal The-total receipts for the year
were $29,773,08; the disbursements
tlie same. The Endowment Fund is
$160,716.76, allowing no Increase oyer
la?*t year.

a Providence! Who could direct the
election of a moderator without hav
ing the thing set up by expert poli
ticians? And the Assembly laughqd
some more.
‘This man lias no claim upon the
Assembly."
Remarkable! Most of the other
nominators had told why the Assem
bly would be everlasting guilty of in
gratitude unless it elected their can
didates.
"But the assembly has claims upon
him.”
Then many a man began to breathe
hard, because there are lot^ of com
missioners who feel that way about
themselves, and they thought that
maybe the moderatorship lightning
was now surely to strike them.
Lauds H*s Candidate.
"My candidate is as gentle as John
as fervidly evangelistic as Timothy—”
but the rest was lost in the tremen
dous applause which followed.
It was something about "Peter" and
a "rock. ' but the commissioners had
already caught the significance of the
allusion and the name of Stone was
shouted all over the assembly.
Dr. John Timothy Stone, pastor of
the Fourth Presbyterian Church of
Chicago, will give tiie Presbyterian
Church an administration which will
make the church known the country
over as big and broad and yet pro
foundly evangelistic—to those, of
course, who do not already know that
it is that. For those are the things
for which Stone has always stood.
Some time ago 1 was riding with
a teampter in a country road in
Northern New York The driver was
not a church man. but he soon dis
covered that 1 was a preacher.
"Do you know John Timothy
Stone?” he asked.
"Yes," l replied.
The Teamster's Tribute.
“Well, he's one man," remarked the
teamster.
Dr. Stone had once been a pastoi
somewhere in that section and the
whole country side came to know hun
as the Presbyterian Assembly knew
him yesterday. This teamster talked
FIGHT LOST. SITS
MRS. LONGSTDEET
Gainesville Postmaster Asks Pres
ident to Hear Her State Case
Before Committee.
WASHINGTON, May o.—Asking
that he attend in person and hear h-»r
state her case to-morrow to the Sen
ate Committee on Postofflces and
Postroads. Mrs. Helen D. Longstreet
who has failed of renomination as
postmaster at Gainesville, Ga.. fid?
addressed an open letter to President
Wilson. In this letter she admits for
the first time that she has lost her
fight and is ready to quit. The letter
follows:
I have been granted a hearing
by the Committee on Postoffices
and Postroads in the Capitol
committee room at 10:30 o’clock.
May 16. 1 respectfully beg you to
be present on that occasion, which
will give you the opportunity to
hear the other side of the Gaines
ville, Ga.. postofflee case.
You have broken away from
ancient usage and exemplified a
new freedom of conduct by ap
pearing before Congress to deliver
your message and by making fre
quent visits to the President’s
room at the Capitol for confer
ences on public measures. I trust
that your high sense of public
duty will permit you to establish
a new and w holesome . precedent
by attending a committee which
will acquaint you with the merits
of a fight which the spoilsmen of
your party have made against one
of your Southern countrywomen,
and the attacks on her record in
the service.
This request should not be mis
understood. There is no doubt in
my mind and no desire lodged in
my heart to continue in the *
Gainesville postoffice. I made the
fight and lost. I am not reopen
ing that fight. Your administra
tion has written “Finis” over the
work to which I was briefly call
ed in the mountains of the State
on whose bosom I was cradled. I
am now considering work on The
New York Press and an offer
which has been made me by -a
veteran of the Union army, either
of which would give me an in
come larger than I was receiving
in the Gainesville postoffice, and
at the same time my sphere of
usefulness would be widened.
My desire tor you to attend the
committee meeting is inspired by
faith in the man who wrote the
"New Freedom:” /aith in the
courage and high-minded quali
ties which I believe will impel
him to make a statement to the
American people regarding a dis
placement by which many of his
countrymen believe that America
has been discredited.

Dr. Stone was formerly in Balti

Chief Sleuth Wilkie
to Leave Service
WASHINGTON. May 16.—John E.
Wilkie. Supervising Special Agent of
the Custom Service and for 14 years
Chief of the Secret Service, will re
sign from the Government service
soon to take a business position in
Chicago. His successor has not yet
been chosen.
Fortner Secretary MacVeagh ap
pointed Mr. Wilkie to head the for^e
that investigated the custom frauds
unearthed during the last few* years.
As Chief of the Secret Service M>\
Wilkie organized the emergency force

JUDGE CLELAND’S VIEWS
OF THE PENAL SYSTEM
The greatest enemy of the
church to-day is the penal sys
tem.
Christ found the weak spot in
criminal prosecution when He
said to those who were prosecut
ing the evil woman: "Let ye who
are without sin cast the first
stone.”
Presenting prisoners with Bi
bles and sermons on "The Prodi
gal Son" does little or no good.
The half-million-dollar refor
matories offer university courses
in crime and bestiality.
It is as logical to send a man
to jail to make him better as it is
to shut him up in a garbage can
to improve his digestion.
Thousands are sent to jail, not
because the> are criminals, but
because they are poor.

evangelist, of Charlotte, as leader.
The closing conference wfill be held
on Wednesday on Sabbath school
work. The Rev W. A. McAulay, of
Spartanburg. S. C., will preside.
Pickpockets, Too, Are
Here for Assemblies
Pickpockets are getting in their
work among the crowds attending
the Presbyterian General Assemblies.
Rev. R. H. Fleming, of Baltimore, was
one of the early victims.
As he was boarding a street car
after leaving the Auditorium Thurs
day night Dr. FJleming noticed a man
jostling him. but thought nothing of
it. A few minutes later, though, he
discovered the loss of his wallet Con
taining $300. a note and several cler
gymen's cards issued by Maryland
railroads.
Dr. Fleming reported his loss to the
police and Chief Beavers is spreading
an extra guard of plain clothes men
and policemen to handle the crowds
about the various meeting places.

It is one thing to make soda
crackers that are occasionally
good.
It is quite another thing to
make them so that they are
always better than all other
soda crackers, always of un
varying goodness.
The name “Uneeda”— stamped on
every biscuit—means that if a million
packages of Uneeda Biscuit were
placed before you, you could choose
any one of them, confident that every
soda cracker in that package would
be as good as the best Uneeda Biscuit
ever baked. Five cents.
