A DAY OF ANNIVERSARIES April 19th One of Greatest Days in American History'. Washington. D. C.. April 10. —In the whole history of the United State* ! and in the annals of the American j colonies before independence was! achieved, no other date Mas figured j so conspicuously as has the 10th day j of “April. From earliest times this ! date appears linked with event* of the greatest importance to the nation and more especially does it appear in the war records of the country. The birth o€ Rober SMerman, a Connecticut signer of the Declara tion of Independence, and the famous speech of Edmund Burke against tax ing the American colonies were pre- ' Revolutionary events which came on April 19th. “It was 1 by the village clock" 151 ( years ago this morning when Paul , Revere galloped into Lexington to | rouse the Minute Men for t*he first , fighting in the war for independence. ' Later in the same day came the en- ] gagements at Lexington and Concord and the firing of "the shots that were, heard round the world.” On April 19, 1N72, Holland was - one of the first of the nations to ac knowledge rtie independence of the United States. One year later, on April 19. 1753, the cessation of hos-1 i tilities with Great Britain was pro-' claimed in the American army, just eight years after the commencement , of the war. > On the 19th of April in 1850 there was a more peaceful meeting of the United States and Great Britain, < when Jofci M. Clayton, the secretary I of state, and Sir Henry Lytton Bul wer, the British minister, signed the treaty by which the two nations agreed that neither should alone* con trol the proposed ship canal through Central America, or erect fortifica tions in that country.' In the Civil War, as in the, Revo lution. April 19tb saw the first shed ding of blood—the attack on the sixth' Massachusetts infantry in the streets of Baltimore in 1861. ! Fort Sumter I had fallen some weeks before and hos- j tilities were already fairly commenced in the great conflict between the States, but historians are generally agreed that there had been no actual bloodshed until the Massachusetts troops on their way r to Washington t were aftapked by a mob While march | ing through the streets of the Mary | land city on the anniversary of the ! battle of Lexington. The 19th of April also played its j part in the Spanish-American war, : as it was on that date in 1898 that the nation formally made known its intention to take up arms in resolu tions adopted by Congress declaring Cuba independent and directing the President to use the forces of the United States to put an end to Span ish authority in the island. Again, in 1917, the first American , sh(Tt vvas fired in the World War, | when the naval crew of 'the United I States merchantman Magnolia, while approaching the British coast, fired upon a German submarine and is be- i lieved to have destroyed it. One year later, on the 19th of April (1918), the first important ‘engage ment in which American troops par ticipated in the great war occurred at Seicheprey. Spent $61,312 Trying to Convict Sen ator Wheeler. Washington. April 19.—(.A3)—Attor ney General Sargent today reported to the Senate that the Department of Justice had spent $61;312 in the un successful prosecution of Senator "Wheeler, democrat, of Montana, on charges of using his senatorial In fluence on behalf of oil leases. SO THIS IS CLEAN-UP WEEK TURNED BACK PAGES OF HISTORY TODAY • Patriots’ Day in Massachu setts Observed on Fields; Where Revolutionary j War Took Place. Boston, April 19. — (A 3 ) —History turned back 151 years here today. Once more two warning beacons flash ed their message from the tower of the old North Church, the British were coining by sea. Once more a Revere and a Dawes mounted their horses and dashed off to spread the alarm “through every Middlesex village and farm." No British ships menaced the bar- 1 bor today, however. “Paul Revere” was Sergeant Goffrey T. Clifford and “William Dawes. Jr.” his companion rider, was Sergeant George A. Deyar mond and their ride was just a part of the Massachusetts annual celebra-; tion of Patriot’s Day out in Con Cord i and Lexington, where the sturdy* coun-; trymen of Revolutionary times first j clashed with the red coats “the shot aheard round the world” was confin- j ed to the discharge of a single bomb; as the citizens gathered to pay trib- 1 ute to the “Minute Men who fell on ] battle green.” In Boston exorcises included a pa- 1 rade of several thougand merchants, j and decoration of the graves of Re- • vere and Dawes.

April 19.—UP)—Lenv |Jng a v : llage buried in its wake, a ' [ stream of lava continued to shoot 1 1 forth from the volcano Manna Loa j yesterday, beating a fiery path from I the 8,000 foot level of the crater down ’J to the sea. ‘' Engulfed under 50 feet of lava, the J community of Hoopula was covered by the molten mass. Fifteen build* ings were destroyed. The post office was the last to go. It burst into flames at 8:30 a. in. Then the rac ing mass coursed its path to the sea, sending forth a charge of steam ns it struck the water. As the lava con tinued to pour into the sea the ocean started boiling until it was bubbling several hundred feet out from land The rampaging volcano turned a deaf ear to the prayers of old Ha -1 waiian kahunas who implored Pele, a Hawaiian goddess associated with the volcano Kilauea not to destroy their homes. A series of severe earthquakes yes terday afternoon rocked Kilauea in ’ which Mauna Ix>a is located. This was followed by a series of avalanches from the Halemauman pit causing the general impression that Kilauea will become active soon.

BISHOP CANNON IS WITNESS FOR ORYS BEFORE COMMITTEE Drys Opened the First Full [ Week of Hearings With Chairman of Committee of Anti-Saloon League. BISHOP QUOTES FROM MINISTERS And Lay Leaders Who l Were Asked by Him For , Ideas of What Should Be Done With Volstead Law Washington, April 19.— OP) —The drys opened their first full week of hearings before the Senate prohibition committee today by putting on the stand Bishop James Cannon. Jr., of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, who is chairman of the legis lative committee, of the Anti-Saloon League. Tabulating the result of a ques tionnaire he sent to every minister and lay leader in his church, Bishop Cannon said there were' very few of the 6,000 replies t'.iat did not in-’ _sist upon’ l more effective government! control. “The suggestions made To secure! i more effective enforcement of the law j are naturally varied," he said, “but • there are very few out of the entire ! number who do not insiwt upon eer tain things. "First, that to secure effective en forcement the work must be commit ted to those who believe that the pro hibition law is a good law, that it can and should be enforced as effec tively as other laws of similar char acter. such as the narcotic drug act. “Second, it i« also insisted that adequate salaries should be paid to secure such men as are qualified to j enforce so important and difficult a j law. ‘‘Third, that whatever number of men are necessary to properly en- { force the law in any section of the l country should be provided for that ! section. "Fourth, that the government should 1 appropriate whatever amount of mon ey may be necessary to enforce the j law. “Fifth, that more stringent penal ties should be inflicted upon the vio lators of the law.” Bishop cannon told the committee v’iiat he spoke for the third largest j protestant denomination in the coun-1 try with a membership of over 2.600.- 000, with over 2,300,000 Sunday j school pupils and about 300,000 mem- I bers of young peoples societies. Says Challenge Must Be Met. Washington, April 19.— UP) —A mil itant call to the American govern ment to accept the challenge of op ponents of the Volstead act was sounded b.v the dry* today before the Senate 'prohibition eommitee. Speaking for the Methodist’"Episco pal Chuch, Sout’li, Bishop James Can non, Jr., told the committee the law should be enforced in the wet “New York sector” of the East, at whatever cost of men and money, to protect I other sections from contamination. The" wets, he said*"' had taken the commmittee hearing far a afield dur- > ing tfaeir two week* of testimony be- , fore the committee, and it was time to return to the basic question wheth er in the country as a whole the Vol stead method of dealing with liquor traffic had been more effective than any other. Cannon, who is head of the legislative committee of the. Anti-Sa loon League, was followed by other officials of church and temperance or ganizations who presented data de signed to upset the contention of the wets that conditions have grown worse the dry laws. It was noteworthy, Bishop Cannon said, that the testimony presented by opponents of prohibition had come al most entirely from people living in the New York sector, “including New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Penn sylvania and Maryland. “Two of these states, Maryland and New York, have utterly refused to pass any enforcement law,” he said, "and yet the very men in those states who are largely responsible for the failure to pass an enforcement law are t|ie ones who are loudly and il logically denouncing the failure to en force the law.” Reviewing some pf the testimony of the wets, he said he could not be made to believe that 90 pep cent, of the la boring people bf the country are vio- j lating the constitution by the manu facture of intoxicants .in their homes.

All but the sixth floor and a recent j addition to the building were gutted these being protected by concrete fire walls. The fire is thought to have t found its origin in a leaking gfcs main in the Crystal Case which was quar- I tered in the basement, j The alarm was given, shortly before j three o'clock and the city’s entire fife | fitting equipment was called to the ‘ scene. A short wh : le later it was dis j covered that the McAdoo building, a five-story structure. 100 yards away, had caught fire, apparently from a gas main connecting the two build ings. This fire was immediately extin guished, but the larger building prov ed a harder task. Flames shot out on the East Sycamore street side, with such vehemence that firemen warned several hundred residents of the Ben bow Arcade to vacate.

COTTON MANUfACTI^HE problem discussed I Conference Decides It Is Up to Indi vidual Producer to Cope With the, Question. 1 Spartanburg, S. C., April 16.—Cur- I tailment of cotton goods production I is a problem for the individual manu ; facturer and no concerted action can ' be taken. South Carolina manufactur ers decided here today. In a statement issued by J. 'C. Joice Evins, president of the South Carolina Cotton Manufacturers asso ciation, after a conference of textile men and commission house represen tatives, the cotton situation was pro nounced dangerous for manufactur j ers, but Mr. Evins said “each man must formulate his own, policies.” The condition which the statement said had existed for sixty days was at tributed to the sale of cotton futures at prices lower than the prevailing spots. Cotton goods buyers, it said, feel that under present conditions the cloth market will be lower in ftijure and the demand for cotton “is ex tremely poor.” Only two kinds of'cloth. the manu facturers decided, are being sold at a profit and producers not making these particular goods are operating at a loss. The meeting was called, Mr. Evins said, to enable manufacturers and commission men “to secure an accu rate and cpmprehensive survey of the condition now existing in the indus try.” Death of Mrs. Clara C.
