(Special Star Telegram.)
"Raleigh, N. C, Feb. 16. A joint res
olution introduced in the Senate by
Senator Ward and in the House by Rep
resentative Grier,' of Iredell, passed
both-branches of the Legislature today,
endorsing the adminstration ship pur -chase
bill that has been pending in the
United States Senate for some days
under such strenuous conditions. It
passed the House without opposition,
but in the Senate Senator MeMichael
pronounced the resolution a "slap in
the' face" for Congressman Claude
Kitchin.
Senator Ward denied that anything
of the sort was intended, but insisted
that he and the North Carolina Legis
lature have the right to differ with
Congressman Kitchin on any measure
of public policy. Mr. McMichael's vote
.was the only one against the resolu
tion in the Senate.
Senator Weaver withdrew his child
labor bill under favorable minority re
port from its special order place" on
the calendar for noon today, with the
statement that he would call it up later
and that he will contend for provision
this session for factory inspection. He
said Governor Craig believes that the
advoci-.tes of advance in child labor leg
islation ' and, the manufacturers can
rearh an agreement within a few days
that will settle the question.
Senator Majette introduced the Farm-.-ra
Union land segregation bill for
segregation of farm lands between the
races. It would amend the Constitu
tion if ratified at the polls next elec
tion. A duplicate was introduced in
the House by Dr. Carr, of Duplin.
, The House spentover two hours dis
cussing the Seawell bill to provide
State regulation of fire insurance rates,
but adjourned without reaching a vote.
It ' passed the revenue bill on final
reading and sent it to the Senate.
. County School Board Bills.
The House " committee on education.
Representative Mintz, chairman, this
afternoon reported " favorably several
bills providing for election of the coun
ty boards ..of education, by the people.
Several of the bills included provision
that the county superintendent of
"schools be elected also, but this was
eliminated in each case. - The counties
are Lee, Moore, Henderson, Richmond,
Brunswick, Beaufort and Anson.1 Two
are Republican, these being Henderson
and Brunswick. There was long argu
ment for the bills by the representa
tives of the counties, and numbers of
arguments against them, on the ground
that they tend to break up the trend
to uniformity and tSa best operation of
a State-wide system of public schools.
The bills are expected to get through
the House but it is probable, it is
thought, that they will meet defeat in
the Senate, where the committee on
education has already reported unfa
vorably similar bills for Wake and
New Hanover counties.
Machinery Bill About Ready.
The joint finance committee just
about completed the machinery bill this
afternoon, but it will require a day or
two to perfect it for introduction. It
was decided to cut out the $6,000 ap
propriation allowed the State Auditor
foi' enforcing the Machinery act and
concenl rate this duty and the appropri
ation with the State Tax Commission
which has had $6,000 appropriation for
several-years. This was increased to
S 10,000.
Trainmen's Exam.' Bill Killed
The joint comittee on railroads gave
final hearing tonight in the matter of
the Douglass bill" for prescribing ex
aminations for firemen, brakemen. and
other trainmen that was said to be
designed to cut out negro firemen. W.
: C. Douglass, as counsel for these train
men, and his son. Representative
Douglass, author of the bill were heard
and thereafter there was an executive
session of the House committee- . in,
which it was reported Unfavorably,
with only one vote against unfavor
able report, this being by Roberts, of
Buncombe. This unfavorable report
kills the bill for the session.
Announcement was made that the
same committees will hold a joint ses
sion tomorrow afternoon to hear -the
Ward bill to further rectify freight
rates as effected by. the Justice act,
particularly the restoration of the
ruje to apply the shorter nearest
tariff distance instead of the . longer
'In applying rates to freight, so -that
seven miles, for instance, would take
the five instead of ten-mile freight
charge,' this to apply to odd distances
all through to 500 miles.
! Senate Proceedings
The Senate was convened at 10:30
o'clock with President Daughtridge. in
the chair. ,
Senator Ward introduced out of order
a (joint resolution for the endorse
ment of the administration ship pur
chg.se f bill now pending under such
' strenuous conditions in the United
States Senate. Senator Cooper spoke
" in advocacy of the bill and Senator
MeMichael vigorously opposed itAa He
insisted that the resolution was a veil
ed slap at Congressman Claude" Kitchin;
the new leader on the floor of ' the
House Qf Representatives.
Senator Ward hastened to assure
Senator MeMichael that he- had no in
tention of reflecting on Congressman
Kitchin and his position as to this
- measure, but that on! the other -hand
he had been heartily in favor of the
Congressman from the Second district
for the floor leadership in the fouse.
At the same time he claimed the right
to differ with . him both for himself
and for the people of North Carolina
and their representatives in the Leg
islature on this or any other measure.
The resolution was submited to a
vote andrpassed with only one Vote
against it, and was sent to the House
by a special t messenger.

Charlotte, N. C, Fb. 10. 'The Mes
sage of the Hour," us outlined by John
R. Mott, chairman of the "continuance
committee of the . World's Missionary
Conference at the biennial Laymen's
Missionary convention - of the
Southern Presbyterian church, east
of the Mississippi, ' is that the
time is particularly ripe for
world-wide evangelization, in that the
iiicfiiiitude .of the present European
conflict has by 'thev process of .exhaus
tion brought the nations of the earth
to see that all else becide Christianity
has. tailed as a civilizing influence.
Dr. Mott's presentation of the call of
the world to evangelization was nvvlo
to the largest convention of laymen in
the history of Southern Presbyterian
ism, the 3,000 clergy and laity in at
tendance on the three-day meeting
which opened in this city this morn
ing at" 11 o'clock with the singing of
"Come Thou Almighty King" by a vast
masculine chorus led by. Dr. Charles
G. Vardell, of the 'Southern Presbyter
ian College for Women, at Red Springs,
N. C, being twice the number ever
attending a similar meeting.
The convention was welcomed to
Charlotte by Rev. - Morgan B. Spier,
chairman of the convention committee,
and the response was by Dr. James
Lewis Howe, v member of the laymen's
executive committee, of Lexington, Va.
At the morning session "Tourists'

excess of S,4)00 and arrivals were still
registering. This exceeds by a thous

session of the convention far exceeded
the capacity of the city auditorium, and
an over-flow meeting was held in the
First Presbyterian church, which was

Early End of1 War Predicted.
Dr. John R. Mott, of New York, spoke
tonight on "The Message of the Hour."
which concerned his recent visit to the
European countries at war and the
scenes and impressions gathered on
that visit. The nations of Europe, so
bered by the staggering conflict going
on there, are turning as" never before
in their history, he said, to a reliance
in religion. An underswell of ethical
reform is one of the most striking fea
tures of the condition and he believes
that the world-wide scope of mission
work and the student volunteer -work
will be the leading factor in restoring
.the peoples of Europe to sanity and
normal ideals when the gigantic con
flict is over, wjiich he does not believe
will last another winter, military ex
perts to the contrary notwithstanding.

gramme tomorrow and next day.
HOUSE EARLY THIS

Represon iative Alexander, of Missou
ri, closed the debate foi the bill just
before midnight with a vigorous de
fense of President Wilson.
Cheers came from the Democratic
side as Mr. Alexander concluded and
called for a vote. The Republicans in
dicated their intention of demanding
roll call on all amendments and the
.first was taken on a change in phrase
ology, v
Mann Gives In.
The tactics of the Republican, threat
ening to draw out the roll calling in
definitely, the Democratic leaders at
m'dnight brought in a second special
ruie to limit the number of yea and
nay votes -to five.
Before Chairman Henry could get the
floor and offer his new rule , Represen
ts ve Mann forced a vote on the first
section of the Gore bill, after securing
a ruling that each section must be vot
ed on separately and another roll call
was begun. 4
When Minority Leader Mann saw
that the Democratic leaders .were de
termined to stop the filibuster several
co ferences were held and the Repub

Y. M. C. A. ESTABLISHED
- Ill "FORBIDDEN CITY"
Christianity Affecting the Bet
ter Classes in China.
Recent Successes In the Awakening
: Oriental Nation Reviewed by
Leaders of the Y. M. C. A
' Evangelists Welcomed
(Correspondence - of Associated 'Press.)
Peking, Feb. 7. Christianity is at
last affecting the better classes in
China, . according to leadera of the
Young Men's Christian Association. Re
viewing some of their recent successes,
they tell of the establishment of a large
meeting place within the "Forbidden
City," and of evangelistic workers be
ing welcomed in some of the interior
provinces, where a few years ago such
workers were actually in peril of being
killed or being driven out by angrjH
mobs.
One of the Y. M. C. A. secretaries, a
prominent Princeton man, says there
is no warrant for the impression that
great numbers of converts have been
made by the recent campaign conduct
ed by Sherwood Eddy, nor that it was
the plan of the Y. M. C. A. to attempt
sweeping .conversions, "yet with the as
sistance of the Protestant missionaries,
a few hundred Chinese of the student
and official classes have become Christ
ians and several thousands have begun
study of the BHle. " The student and
official classes have been the last to
seriously consider Christianity for the
reason that they were more thoroughly
groundedin: Confucianism -Jand with
rare exceptions the mission's were able
to appeal throug-h their chapel and
street preaching only to the lower
classes. . -
"The revolution, with many Christ
completed by obtaining f rom eacii prot
secretary, "set its seal of disapproval
on hostility to Christianity. Tb.e Y. M.
C. A. ranked among its members most
of the returned students from Ameri
ca," and some; of those from Europe, of
whom the present government is mak
ing use in its efforts to modernize and
reform China. Not all of these return
ed students are Christian, indeed the
majority are not. But they have found
in the Y. M. C. A., buildings places
where they could gather in an atmos
phere similar to that which they have
learned to respect and like in foreign
countries. So the Y. M. C. A. had a nu
cleus of friends to help obtain the .priv
ileges which they required.
"To take this city as ah example, we
applied to the authorities for permis
sion to erect a 'pong' or tent-like mat
shed, capable of seating four thousand
people in the open space in front of
the "Forbidden City," that being one
of the most convenient and central po
sitions. The reply came that - as cer
tain new walls were being constructed
the 'pong' had better be. erected just in
side the front gates of the 'Forbidden
City.'
"This permission immediately gavtf
distinction to the meeting for the gates
of the Manchu palace enclosure are sel
dom, even now, open' to ihe public. In
other cities the campaign was similar
ly favored by the authorities, impor
tant templesosometimes being turned
over to the .-organization for the time
being. . ; - -;
"The necessary organization was
completed by obtaining from each pro
cstant mission the assistance ,o one
Chinese worker. This representative
committee was" placed under the lead
ership of two executive secretaries,
one Chinese and one American. Bible
classes were arranged, at the different
missions throughout : the city, and men
were enlisted who were capable of
teaching these classes and who under
stood the manners and susceptibilities
of the students.
"Great care was put upon special
courses of Bible study,' prepared espe
cially to meet the need of the keen
and critical minds of the Chinese col
lege students. In Peking alone during
November, there ws an average week
ly attendance on. the newly organized
Bible siudy classes cf over ftvo hun
dred students, old and young."
Eddy's campaign, . which extended to
many of the' principal cities of China,
was corupleted last xoonih. ru n letter
to friends in Peking, he writes of
Changsha, the capital cjty of the in
terior province of JJunan: "As we left
the steamer and entered the great gates
of the ancient walled city we "saw post
ers announcing the Evangelistic meet
ings on the very notice, boards where a
few years ago hung posters to kill the
'Foreign Devils, who iad come -to make
medicine out of the eyes of their kid
napped children. Here fourteen, or
even four years ago, we would have
been driven out by angry mobs.
"I shall never forget the. scene on
the second day. After hard kitting on
the , bribery, graft and dishonesty of
the officials and merchants, and im
morality of the students, as the cause of
China's present weakness, we had ex
pected a falling off in the attendance.
Nearly half an hour before the ttme of
the lecture, however, the doors had to
be closed. We found over three thou
sand students crowded in the hall, and
five hundred were gathered . outside in
an overflow meeting addressed by one
of the missionaries. Our subject was
'The Hope of China.' We asked the stu
dents if they, had anything that could
save their country and make honest of
icials, merchants, and efudents, but they
were silent. For an hour we laid be
fore them the claims of Christ In the
appeal of His Teaching to the mind:
His Character to the heart, and His
Power for the will. Finally, when we
asked how many men were ready to
join Bible classes to make s an earnest
study of the four gospels, -with- honest
heart and open mind, over a thousand
Confucian students signed cards as in
quirers and remained to an after meet
ing. Some 800 of these men came out
next -day, notwithstanding the rain and
the distractions of a Chinese feast day,
to be assigned to Bible classes.". ,

Resolution of Burton.
Washington; -Feb. ltT Secretary
McAdoo gave , out tonight a copy of a
letter to Senator Fletched, emphatical
ly denying intimations that jie had en
tered into negotiations for . the. pur
chase of merchant steamers of belliger
ent nations for", operation, under the
proposed ship purchase bill. The let
ter : replies to' a resolution introduced
several days 'ago -byj. Senator . Burton.
Mr. "McAdoo summed up tiis statement
as follows: - --. ,
"In view of faise rumors and state
ments, permit me to say in conclusion
that the Secretary of the Treasury has
at no time, had aommunication fromJ
or discussion with any. banking house,
banking institution, .or" banker, in or
out of the United States, in connection
with the purchase, sale or disposition
in any manner whatsoever, of the Ger
man ships interned in the ports of the
United States, or elsewhere, or in con
nection with any other ships of bellig
erent or neutral nations for any pur
pose whatever." '
Where Information Gotten.
Replying to Senator Burtpn's inquiry
as to whether tenders of steamers fly
ing belligerent or neutral flags had
been made, Mr. McAdoo referred to in
formation concerning available ships
contained in report he made to the Sen
ate on freight rate increases. He add
ed that lists of steamers under French,
British and German flags had been fur
nished by J. V. McCarthy, of Boston,
and B. N. Baker, of Baltimore, and that
offers of neutral ships were inclosed
with the letter from Mr. McCarthy.
These offers probably resulted from
published reports of the proposed ship
purchase legislation, he said.
Mr. McAdoo declared he had no know
ledge of any loans by anybody in the
United States to owners of ships tied
up in American ports, or any ' options
held on such ship in contemplation of

Manston, Wis. " At the Change 0f
Life I suffered with pains irkiny back
and loins until I could not stand. I also
had night-sweats so that the sheets
would be wet. I tried other medicine
but got no relief. After taking one bot
tle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound I began to improve and I
continued its use for six months. The
pains left me, the night-sweats and hot
flashes grew less, and in one year I was
a. different woman. I know I have to
thank you for my continued good health
ever since." Mrs. M. J. Brownell,

The success of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, made from roots
