A Most grtateetorj Meeting la Rvary Way? Women Are Oondpiimeated.., Baltimore, May 17. ? In ar volumi nous report presented by the temper ance committee at the Southern Bap tist Convention today. President Taft Is commended for hlfe example of to tal abetinence andsfdr his action In instating on chaniedVegulatlona gov erning the tsauanoe of the United State# special tax recelpta of retail liquor dealers whereby the "tnfamoua work of the ao-called boot-leggers and other violators of prohibition laws will be rendered haaardous." Thin action of the nation's chief ex ecutive, the committee reported, will render "bootlegging" Impossible without detection under proper Bute enactments And enforcements. The ' committee recommended that Congress enact lawa which will pro tect Btates from the lnterataie ship ments of liquor into "dry" territory land remove whatever protection the i Internal revenue tax receipts may give 'to vepders of liquors In locali ties where the aale of liquor la pro hibited by' law. < The convention emphasised Its Idea of complete Independence 'from the Northern Bgptlst denomination by Ita action* in tabling a resolution aetting out a baopdary line in the territory of the two bodies and again In Its disposition of the copununtcatton of the American Home &f|ssionary So ciety of the Northern Convention ask ing for aid and offering co-operation ! In the education of the negro for the Baptist ministry. 'if The special committee to which this matter was sent, reported that It should be referred to the Home Mis sion board of the Southern Baptist C6nventlon>-The action of this com mittee is considered as tantamount to, a disapproval of the- Northern board in sending the letter to the conven tion. Important features Were the adop tion of resolutions pledging the con vention to co-operation wfth all Bap j^lsts of the world In the work of the World's Baptist Alliance; that the 8undgy school board of the conven tion be allowed to take upon It the work that has been done in the South by the American Baptlat Publication Society and the decision of, the con vention to allow all N$w Mexico churches to omne into Its body.

The Home Mission Board reported more than 9300,040 for It* work, and the Por elght? Mission Board collected more I than half a million dollars. Both the a?f8urits are much larger than [the amounts c611ected last year. ?Results of the work of the mission aries showed a splendid increase* | The Home Board reported 17,87? bapttsms, and the Foreign Board 1 2 23 baptisms. These figures do not indicate the number received Into thef [membership of the churches, lft?t those actually reached through the! work of' the missionaries of the boards. ?A resolution was passed asking Rhe chprches to raise $1,000,000 for (missions next year. ? A? great forward stride was taken when a brother, whose name was | withheld by request^ offered to payl for sending out ten missionaries anil | their support. If the cpnvention would i provide for twenty more. Jn a tew 1 minutes/ fifteen of the twenty were provided for, and the board is sure the other five can easily be secured.

Colored Kolk IMIm It Win b? the End of the World. Washington's colored population . at least a portion of it, says rumor, is greatly stirred over the fsct they must pass through the tall of Hal ley's comet tonight between 11 snd 12 o'clock. Already several old ne groes hare gotten their sffalrs fixed believing that tonight at the appoint- . ed time they will be swept Into the other world. Several of the cooks and nsrses In the city hsve asked to be relieved of duty early this afternoon, snd one old darkey gave out the Information to his colored friends this morning that the earth would certainly be no more after tonight. Not only Is this fear exhibited. In Washington, but the same state of affairs seems to exist all over North Carolina among the colored folk. They are thoroughly terrorised. Near the Central Hotel this morn ing some were seen weeping, and when as^ed as to the cause, replied i the earth was doomed and they were not prepared to go Into eternity. Prayermeettngs are being held. It1 Is said, and every preparation is be ing made for the occurrence to take place tonight. I Tonight the earth will be some thing like 11.000.000 miles from the comet, which will be going at a little less than 2.Q00 miles per minute. The atll will be between 11.000.000 and 40.000.000 miles long, different scientists making different estlmstes. Tt\ere Is considerable discussion as to the CQjDpqsltlon of the comet's tall, but the general idea is that it Is made up of rarlfled gases. It makes no difference what its composition is. the colored people are greatly aroused and consternation reign? among them. WHKN KARTH PASSKM THKOl'CJH TAIL OF HAIXKY'8 OOMKT. Cambridge. Mass.. May 17. ? Har vard asn-bnamera e?pect the passing! of the earth through the tail of Hal ley's comet to be accompanlcd by a shower of meteors. "There will probably be an unus ual glow In the heavens," said Prof. Edward C. Pickering today, "or a few meteors or falling stars, but It is doubtful If any of these will be visible, as the atmosphere at the comet's tall Is 100 times rarer than the- atmpSphere near the earth. The con^jrfls so tenuous that it Is possible tb photograph stars right through It. "The best observations will be ob tained in Japan. "The comet and the earth are ap-, proaching one another at a speed#of 4 3 miles a second. The time of tran sit we expect to be 58 minutes, show ing that the tall, where the earth will pass through It. is 150.000 miles wide. "The transit will begin at exactly 10<60 p. m.

Probably ihany have had dreams, have longed for something they couldn't explain, something that would take them out of this life and into some other, or so change this life that It would be like another. It Ira't always possible to explain these longings, common to all mankind. The Blograph Co. has expressed these strongly In this pic ture, and in an unusually graphic manner the human tendency for all | that Is beautlfnl and romantic. The film has a picturesque Western touch ' with a strong plot throughout. On the Bank of the River is a Gaumont picture of great beauty-. A Seat In the Balcony, a. comedy which depicts the experiences of a man who sees a play for the first time. The film offers many opportu nities for a good laugh as the pic ture progresses. The photographic quality of this film Is quite up to the Gaumont standard. C. I>. C\ MEETING.

The two pictures the Gaiety offers I Its patrons tonight are each one whole reel In length, and after you have witnessed them you will hardly be able to realize you .have not been sitting In a theater' looking at real living., breathing, talking actors, for they are of this nature. "The Clay Baker" Is a Btory of ab sorbing interest. It Is taken from the drama of the title of this picture, and is portrayed with Thomas 8her as "Peter Denlg," the leading char acter. When this play was first pro duced throughout the country it cre ated a 'sensation everywhere qhown, and the pictures give a faithful rep resentation of the drams. "S&'ndy the Substitute" is taken from Roy Norton's marvelously real ist ic drama of the. Rocky Mountains. A dramatization of Norton's celebrat ed "Whistling Sandy" stories, show ing the quaint and rugged hero's search for the train" robber, the dra matic encounter, the capture, and the terrible journey back to the min ing camp. To lovers of Western pic tures this one will especially appeal to them, as It teems with action and interest from beginning to end.

With solemn pageantry, which drew upon the roy alty of Europe for lta actors, the body of Edward VII was today borne through tffe streets of London from Buckingham Palace to historic West minster Hall.
