President Coolidge Is Trying Hard To Sidestep His Prohibition Troubles New Washington Policy May Get Wilmington Postoffice Annex Appropriation By H. E. C. BRYANT WASHINGTON, D. C. Oct. 16—Presi dent Coolidge is trying to Sidestep the prohibition row. He is between Haynes on the one side and Secretary Mellon and Commissioner Blair on the other. The dry leaders are determined to separate the prohibition unit from the internal revenue bureau.- This was clearly indicated at the' White House today. ’ , - The Pinchot attack jolted the calm ness out of Mr. Coolidge but it never loosed his tongue. He called Messrs Mellon and Blair to the White House for a conference this afternoon. It was reported afterwards that these two stickers are about as strong with Mr. Coolidge as they Irerej with Mr. Hard ing. Haynes is the man that may be jarred loose before the fight is over. Things are warming up for the pre sident, as Congressmen drift in the sit uation here changes. President Coolidge is taking positions every day. He has decided to play hands off on the recess appointments of President Harding. That means some of the Re publicans serving now will not be re appointed when Congress meets. This may include old man Joe Tolbert of South Carolina and numerous postmas ters in North Carolina.

U. S Shipping Board Consolidates Its Five North Atlantic Routes Considerable; Reduction Will Be Made in Nuinber of Vessels Operated WASHINGTON,.Oct.' 16.—Decision to consolidate th£.._£We North ..Atlantic United Kingdom trade routes and to eliminate entirely the managing agent system now in. use upon them was an nounced today by the shipping board. The place of the agents will be taken by one or more ^'loading agents” and supervision of the strips will be taken over directly by the board. Considerable reauction is ■ contem plated in the number of- ships being operated upon the five routes, but chairman Farley emphasized that this would not .be carried far enough to hamper the service. "A new trade name will be taken for , the consolidated routes, - the North Atlantic-United Kingdom line having already received favorable consideration. Supervision of the United States lines has been placed by the shipping board in the hands of a committee composed of commissioners O'Connor, Plummer and Benson, who will act as a board of directors. The new plan was said by officials to make the United. States lines “practically a separate subsidiary of the emergency fleet corporation.’ W J. Love has resigned as general manager of the emergency fleet cor poration to become general manager of the new organization and T. H. RosS" bottom also connected with the fleet corporation, is expected to be transfer red to' the United States lines in an executive capacity. Although he will give up his active position' with the shipping board,'Mr. Love is expected to serve as vice presi dent. Mr. Rossbottom who has repre sented the board with the United lines is said to be slated for. head of the operation department, and will have supervision of maintenance and repair of ships. . A freight traffic manager'and pass enger. manager are yet to be appointed. The lines wiped out by the consoli dation include the Blake Steamship company, Baltimore ' Steamship com pany, the Export. Transportation com pany and the Moore and McCormick company, serving -routes from New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Hampton Roads to the United Kingdom. ‘ The.principal change effected by the WANTS SESSION id I Senator Burton K. Wheelej of Mon tana has just returned. fropi a trip to Russia, and1, has urged, an extra session of congress to accord recongni tion of the soviet government. new*scheme, Chairman Farley explain ed is. that it places the expenditure of funds appropriated by Congress direct ly under the supervision of public of ficials authorized to handle it. Solicit ing and booking of freight, handling of freight at terminals and its embark- | ation upon ship, will be ■ left in the hands of the "loading agents” who will' serve under contract and receive com pensation on a straight commission basis. . .. It is expected, by this arrangement that the heartjr'cooperation and best endeavors of experienced private ship ping organization will be obtained1; and utilized to ’ the fullest. extent in con ducting the cgr Tyumen t’s shipping operations.’ _ , When Gypsy To Altar To For New Life “Pythian Night” Brings Out Large Audience to Hear Old Message TEXT OF HIS SERMON IS “MUST BE BORN AGAIN” Fifty-five Hundred Dollars ifi First Collection Toward Running Expenses Last evening was known as ‘‘Pythian Night” at the great tabernacle at Fourteenth and Princess street, an£ Gypsy Smith addressed another large and attentive audience. During ..his discourse the Gypsy, took ^occasion to say that in all his experience as an ordained minister of the gospel he had never been accorded more evidence of interest than he had here in Wilming ton. The opening prayer was offered by the Rev. N. N. Fleming, pastor of the Winter Park Presbyterian' church. The Rev. J. E. Purcell announced that up to that time between 54 and 55 hundred dollars had been con tributed to the expense of the meeting and made it plain ' that the greater part of that amount had been ma^e up of small amounts- arid urged that the same policy prevail until ?8,600, the amount needed, was" raised, although any sum contributed would be thank fully received. The ushers were asked to pass through the audience and re ceive contributions. The evangelist read for the evening „ lesson the third chapter of the gos pel of St. John and took for his text these words: ‘‘Ye must be born again." The entire sermon was confined to' the^ doctrine of regeneration and was handled in the evangelist’s usual mas terful manner, aiid stated in the out set that’ he hoped that every person in the tabernacle would come tonight,’ for he would again treat on the same subject in view of its preponderance. ‘‘This theme," said the speaker, “was not , trumped up by some -evangelist or other, but was God’s own words' and must be accepted as literal. ‘Ye must be born again’ means that there is but one open channel and there is no other course to pursue,” the Gypsy declared. "Temptation is eternally knocking at the door of your heart; the sin comes in opening ..the door? he _gftid,j; , ' “ .... ges, ye.t if'Ik*'' as fresh as. the rose that has been kissed by the morning dew." > Mr. Smith haS^e^ercised himself, and has been zealous in his efforts to bring about more evidence of interest in church work, especially among lukewarm church members in the mat ter of soul salvation. He thought it a fine spirit to show their interest in civic matters and in painting and decorating churches.” “But does that get you anywhere,"? he asked. “How about those who hun ger for the word of God? How about that beautiful girl who has entered into tnotherhood by the wrong door?" These things, declared the speaker amount to more than everything else in the world, and the paint and decorating on the church does not help these matters one bit.” The Gypsy pleaded especially to the young people to join forces with God. He agreed that it was a hard job to be a Christian, yet he said, “the more you put into a thing, the more you can get out of it, and the 'more you pay .for an article the more care .you take of it.” These very principles work in religion as in other elements. It may be a hard job to ‘‘break through” but when you do master-the situation, you will be repaid in the happiness and sweetness that you will find in following God, he argued. The speaker asserted that God did a big thing when he saved an old man, but he does a bigger thing when ha saves a boy or girl. Muir Respond to Invitation The evangelist made a passionate! appeal to Wilmington for greater ef forts in God's work and at the close of his sermon gave an Invitation to all who were not satisfied with the manner in which they have lived in the past, both in and out of the church, to come forward and occupy the front seats. The response to his Invitation was very liberal. Many went forward, both men and women. Before those who responded to the. Invitation of the Gypsy "hit the saw dust trail,” 'he told/hem that he didn't ask them to come for the purpose of s'haking his hand, "for, he said, therh is no .virtue in my hands,” but I simp ly want, you to declare to the world by your actions that you are deter mined to live.a cleaner and nobler life, thereby enjoying the sweetness of,-: what God has to offer." Before the evangelist started to speak and while the song service was going on, Mr. Charles F. Allen, the song leader with the evangelist val enjoying greater response in his ap peals to the audience ,to sing than on’ any previous night, and seemed to-be greatly delighted that he could basic in the sun of victory at last. He called updn the audience to sing an old familiar hymn. He said, ‘‘I want all you folks to sing that song, « including the preachers over here-to . my left.’:’ He then glanced over to th-> press box, where two, reporters were laboring and said, "you can sing too." The itext of the sermon follows: New Birth Necessary Mr. Smith took for his text last evening John1 3:7, ■ “Ye must be bora, again.” He said -that in the beginning God created roan. “In the image of ; God created He him.” Therefore man % was made' in the image of God, with a mind to understand the'things of . Godr With a heart ’that loved tha things that God loved; with a will that wanted to do the things . that God wanted him to do. j* Then, you remember,-he said, “tem- , ptation • came and man fell, and -tha temple of God was debauched by sin, ,>s • (Continued on Pager Tyrlf
