o THE ATLANTA flEOTCETAX AND NEWS. Rockefeller Victim In Alaska Fraud In fin eloquent explanation of the object!* of "Go-to-Church" Day, the Rev H. M. DtiBoso, pastor of the First Methodist Church, Monday urged co-operation by all to make next Sunday the greatest day in the history of Atlanta churches. I>r. DuBose. in « statement writ ten for The Georgian, said: "Why « ‘Go-to-Church’ Day? Be cause it emphasizes an Idea funda mental in human happiness, and stresses n principle indispensable to the soundness and perpetuity of so ciety. "But to fully answer this ques'lon we must go back and ask and answer another and deeper question: Why go to church at all? What is the ob ject of churchgoing in general? "The first and truest answer Is that the highest end of man is to wor ship GOd, and the visible altars of the organized church are the places where that worship can be offered in comeliness and where it will have the most certain and enduring effect upon the fellowships of men. Worship Is Duty. "It is not only the chief end of every man to worship God, but it is the destiny of nations to do so. Moses declared to Pharaoh that the object of the liberation of the Israelites was that they might go into the wilder ness to worship God. "As nations ami peoples advance Into the higher stage* of their devel opment, the duty, as the need, of worship is augmented. The highest note in literature is the note of wor ship It is only truth to say that the constant and confident fact in written history 1» also that of worship. This note and this fact are pro phetic The German poet put the whole philosophy and theology of those into strophe of his Hymn to the Eter nal:' ‘Spare us. O, God; We will acknowledge Thee!' "Another object of churchgoing is to enlarge and conserve the individ ual life The element of reverence and the life-impelling respect for law which are now so much needed in the lawmakers and citizenry of our na tion can only be had ns the result of CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. elosr and Hympathrtlc contact with holy things. Food for Character. "Character Is derived from partic ipation in thope duties w hich are rec ognized as coming from the divine. That the object of churchgoing is to minister to and sanctify the whole body of society is a proposition worthy the study of both statesman ship and faith. "The church not only stands f«*r the greatest truths ever promulgated to man. but it lives to make these ef fective in the world's life and thought, But great as is this task set the church, it is one which can not nr accomplished through any form of force or compulsion. It is one which has to do only with the freely volun teered powers of men’s minds, and the captivity to which they willingly lend their ears and hearts. "This is the broad platform and philosophy of our ‘Go-to-Church’ Day, a spontaneous Idea which has been taken up by practically all the pas tors of this city, Sunday next. De cember 14, being settled upon as die day for making that interesting test. "On that day it is hoped to see the sittings in all our churches filled to overflowing. Pastors Pushing Project. "To accomplish this end, the pas tors have appointed, or will to-day appoint, committees whose work will be to set every possible influence in motion to bring to church on next Sunday a larger part of Atlanta’s population than has ever before been so assembled. "This will not only emphasize the great Idea already discussed, but will help to form a churchgoing habit which the promoters believe Is des tined to toll on the lives and pros perity of Atlanta’s churches for years to come. "The services next Sunday will, by resolution already adopted, take the line of emphasising the work and principles of the Men *md Religion Forward Movement, a movement w hich Is itself of and by the churches. "Special progiams of music will also be arranged, and ttye whole spir it of the tiuy’s efforts will be to show tiie value of tlie church to the world." SEATTLE, Dec. h The late 11 H i Rogers, John D.

WASHINGTON, Dec. g.—President Wilson to-day flatly refused lo pledges his indorsement of the wom an’s suffrage movement. The biggest rebuff that the war riors of the votes for women have met in their nation-wide campaign came when they made their appeal direct to the President in the White House. He told them that he could not, being the President of the United States, and at the same time leader of a political party which already had made pledges to the people. He add ed that his hands were full In co operating with - Congress in the work of fulfilling these pledges. In addressing the delegation of 150 suffragists. President Wilson made it clear that he could not act as an in dividual, but only as a President, aril that it would be extremely dangerous for him. In the language of th*- street, to "start something." He did not vouchsafe to the women what bis private conviction was regarding woman suffrage, but conveyed the impression that he was not unfav .r- ably disposed toward it. He abs >- lutelv rejected their request that he indorse the project in any way at the present time. Dr. Shaw Spokeswoman, lie declared that when Congress comes to him for his opinion on wom an suffrage he would give it, because he could not on his own initiative urge upon Congress woman suffr;u;a legislation at the present time. Dr. Anna Howard Shaw was spokeswoman for the delegation. She asked the President for any one of three things: That he send a special message to Congress asking for leg islation enfranchising women by a constitutional amendment; that he Include such a request in a gener*! message to Congress or that he. In dorse the movement to create a suf frage committee In the House. Dr. Shaw added that such a com mittee already had been created In the Senate. To these proposals Presi dent Wilson made a general reply. He declared that as President ev ery act of hla must be made within certain well-defined limitations. He said that as an individual he had no identity whatsoever. Suffragists Deeply Disappointed. As the leader of a party pledged to carry out certain legislation he had no right to obtrude his private views on Congress for any purpose what soever. He emphasized the fact that certain members of the Rules Com mittee of the House had asked him what he thought of the idea that a suffrage committee be created .and that he replied that it might be wise to create such a committee. He instanced this by showing that on the only occasion when he had been asked by Congress to reveal his views on any question relating to suffrage he had decidedly favored a free and full fearing on the sub ject. The suffragists were deeply disap pointed over the President’s attitude and did not conceal their chagrin as they left the White House. The lead ers of the delegation besides Dr. Hhaw were Mrs. Med ill McCormick and Miss Alice Paul. They marched to the White House two abreast with the exception of Dr. Shaw and Miss Paul, who came in a taxicab. Half Day’s Work Brings Big Re sults—Balance Needed Only $105,000.

Jill Jitsu Conquers Negro Who Wrecked 3 West Side Houses A sudden application by policemen of the jlu jitsu principles of wrestling served to tame a cocaine-crazed black who wrecked three houses on Foundrj street Sunday morning and attracted a mob of several thousand negroes. The negro was Jim Davis, of No. 265 Foundry street, who suddenly became violently insane from the use of the drug. He ran his wife out of the house and then wrecked his home. He sent a washsttt*id crashing through a window, broke door^ and smashed beds. His wife ran next door to No. 237 Foundry street. He followed and wrecked that house also. She lied again to No. 269 and he pursued. Call Officers George Watson and John West, both of whom are students of Jiu jitsu, answered the ca’l, and it took them less than half a minute to quell Davis with jiu Jitsu methods.

William Sparks, who was one of the best known and most picturesque pioneers of Atlanta, died Monday morning at 4 o’clock at a private sani tarium, after a brief Illness. News of his death will bring sor row to hundreds of persons who knew him as manager of Buehler Brothers market on Whitehall street and as a butcher for years before that. It comes as a shock to many of his in timate friends who were associated with him as a young man in the early days of Atlanta when he played first base on the city’s first baseball team and later as a member of the Gate City Guard and of Couer DeLion Commandry, Knights Templar. Many interesting stories are told of the life of Mr. Sparks. Atlanta’s first baseball team in 1869, of which he was a member, won the championship of the South. Another member of that team was the late Charles A. Collier, one time Mayor of Atlanta. An important game of that season was with the University of Georgia. The lamented Henry W. Grady was catcher on that team. All the teams of the Southern towns were volun teer teams and Atlanta easily won the pennant. As third lieutenant of the Gate City Guard he went North with the com pany on the famous mission of peace. An instance of the character of the man was given in Hartford, Conn. The company went broke and a con tinuation of the trip seemed hopeless, when he made a loan to the other members sufficient to meet the ex penses. Mr. Sparks was something of a philosopher. Bom in 1849 at Bar- boursville, Ky., he came to Atlanta in the wake of the Confederate army on a supply wagon. He was only a boy, but he had a fixed idea about lazi ness, which he carried ali through his life. "My father told me it was an un mistakable sign of laziness to see a man standing with his hands in his pocket," he would say. "I did not have any pockets in my pants when I came to Atlanta, and I never have had any since." Mrs. A. E. Tye is the only surviv ing relative in Atlanta. The funeral services will be held at Harry G. Poole’s undertaking parlors Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock. The interment will be at Oakland Cemetery.
