that he is a human being trying to co

common service. After this pleasant
experience, I shall feel quite normal
in tr.ir dealings with one another."

METHODISTS ARE UNITING
TO FREE DR. T. H. YUN.
Prayers of Nearly 2,000,000 Invoked
To Liberate Former Emory Grad
uate Now Dying in Korean Prison.
Atlanta Journal.
While Baron T. H. Yun, a gran-
nate of Emory College, is slowly dy
ing in prison at Seoul, Korea, where,
it is claimed, persecution is being
heaped upon him because of his
Christian beliefs, nearly two million
scut hern Methodists are being called
to enlist divine" in t erven t ion for his
deliverance.
Through these special prayers,
friends of Baron Yun hope to create
such a sensation throughout the civ-
hzed world that Japan will be forc
ed to open its prison doors.
From the office of Ed F. Cook, of
Nashville, secretary of the mission
board of the Southern Methodist
church, pleas foj prayers for Dr.
Yun have gone out, and the Wesleyan
Christian Advocate, the official organ
of the Georgia Methodist conferences
is urging similar prayers, and other
church papers throughout the south
have joined the movement.
Allege Fake Confession.
It is claimed by his friends that Dr.
Yun was convicted on a faked con
fession of complicity in a plot to
overthrow the governor general of
Korea. The real reason, members of
the Methodist church say, is that a
plot is on foot to clear Korea ot
missionaries and that the opposition
of such a powerful man as Dr. Yun
is feared.
Baron Yun, it is said, is dying
gradually from tuberculosis. His
friends declare that he cannot live to
serve his sentence of six years.

tentative :
I have called the Congress togetb-jules
er in extraordinary session because a'turers or producers what they tbem-
duty was laid upon the party - now in j
power at the recent elections which
it ought to perform promptly, in o-
der that the hut-ten carried by the
people- under existing law may be
lightened as soon as possible and in
order, also, that the business inter
ests of the country may not he kept
too long in suspense as to what the
fiscal changes are to be to which they
will be required to adjust themselves.
It is clear to the whole country that
the tariff duties must be altered. They
must be ehanged to meet the radical
alteration in the conditions of our
economic life which the country has
witnessed within the last generation.
While the whole face and method of
onr industrial and commercial life
were being ehauged-beyond recogni
tion the tariff schedules have remain
ed what they were before the change
began, or have moved in the direc
tion they were given when uo large
circumstance of our industrial devel
opment was what it is today. Our
task is to square them with the act-
ual facts. The sooner that is done the
sooner we shall escape from suffer
ing from the facts and the sooner our
men of business will be free to thrive
by the law of nature (the nature of
free busine&s) instead of by the law
of legislation and artificial arrange
ment. , We have seen tariff legislation wan
der very far afield in Our day very
far indeed from the field iu which
our prosperity might have had a nor
mal growth and stimulation. No one
who looks the facts squarely in the
face or knows anything that lies be
neath the surface of action can fail
to perceive the principles upon which
recent t; riff legislation has been bas
ed. We .ong aito passed bevond the
modest notion of "protecting" the
industries of the country and moved
boldly forward to the idea that they
were entitled to the direct patronage
of the government. For, a long time
a time so long that the men now
active in public policy hardly remem-
DBTECTIVES AT WORK HERE.
Have Bounded Up Several Cases of
Violations of Law. The Cases
New Being Prepared for Trial.
Much interest was developed yes
terday when it became known that
detectives had been operating here
for a week or more. Under an ordin
ance passed by the board of alder
men, the city authorities were given
the right to employ deteetives for the
purpose of securing evidence of vio
lations of the law. Acting under this
ordinance the right was exercised and
the detectives brought here from a
Raleigh agency. They spent a week
in the city. One of the men was
white and one colored.
The result, of Wie detectives' visit
here has not been made public. The
detectives, it is understood, succeed
ed in rounding up evidence in a num
ber of cases. All the evidence secur
ed has been- submitted to City Attor
ney Hartsell and Chief of Police
Boger and the ehief spent a busy day
yesterday rounding up the witnesses.
As soon as the examination of the
witnesses has been concluded the war
rants, if any cases are made out, will
hi issued and served and the cases
brought to trial.
The detectives ended their work
here yesterday and left last night for
Raleigh. They will return upon ad
vice from Chief Boger and testify in
case indictments are brought.
How to Handle a Drunken Husband.
Atlanta, April 8. Suffragettes
throughout the land will delight in the
methods employed by Mrs. Ella Lee
Morris, of this city, in handling tier
husband. Jos. A. Morris, who came
home on a drunken and bositerous
BDree. Instead of weeping and tear
ing her hair and saying that ne aw
not love ner any more, mm. juwrw,
called in a eouple of her neighbors
and with their, assistance tied her
husband hand and foot, aner wuicn
she rolled him over into a corner on
the' hard floor until he got over his
jag, W lien ne was tnorougniy sooer-
ed, she untied him and marched oown
town and with the assistance or a
lawyer, filed suit for divorce.
The couple were married in June
1911. Mrs. Morns complains in ner
divorce petition that her husband was
frequently drunk,ahd cruel. He talk
ed Jko much to her, she said, when he
was drunk and when he was sober,
she declared he refused to talk- at all.

MIX-UP BETWEEN '
.CITIZEN ANJTX rjBTCTIVE.
Y ' '
Detective Tries ta Gat Mr. Afton
Means to Buy Liquor for Him..
The Result. Trial Set for Wednes
day of Next Week.
The usual quiet that reigns at the
corner of Corbin and Union streets
was interrupted yesterday afternoon
by a mix-up by Mr. Afton Means and
Detective- Smith, of Raleigh. Detect
ive Smith, it appears, was employed
by the city under an ordinance pass
ed by the board of aldermen giving
the mayor the right to -employ de
tectives for the purpose of securing
evidence against violators of the law
here. The set-to occurred just before
noon yesterday and was of short du
ration. Mr. Means has not made pub
lie a statement concerning the affair,
but from the police a version of the
difficulty was given out. It appeal's
that Detective Smith made an effort
to get Mr. Means to secure some liq
uor for him Sunday night, the fact
that he was a detective, of course,
not being made known. Yesterday,
so it is said, Mr. Means discovered
Detective Smith's identity and at
tacked him, using, so it is stated, a
stick and frailing him thoroughly
with it.
After the fight the detective went
to his boarding house on West Cor
bin street and 'phoned for the police.
They went to the house and escorted
him to the city ball. There, it is
said, he stated to the officers that af
ter Mr. Means struck him he told him
to leave town, and if he ever made
another effort to get him to secure
liquor he would beat him again. ' The
trial was set for this morning but
has been postponed until tomorrow

The Republicans Successful in Mich
igan. Detroit. April 8. The republican
state ticket is elected, the progress
ives being beaten. Woman suffrage
was overwhelmingly defeated. The
elections were held yesterday.
The initiative and referendum
passed, also ownership of Detroit
street railways.
As a muddy stream can travel but
a little way into a body of pure wa
ter before it spreads out and discol
ors the entire body, just so does a
moral leper contaminate those with
whom he comes in contact.
