,' 'Wial&n. He was born In Washington
v-4Cottnty, of ths Keystone Stnte, and did
Wioat of his work In Pennsylvania towns be
'tore he was called to the Middle West
," But now ho Is very much a Middle West
if rner. It was ever so noticeable yesterday
' -when ho stood bn the platform to receive
j ftOni the retiring moderator, Ilcv. Dr. j,
'Hoes Stevenson of Princeton Theological
Seminary, the rulershlp over the great Gen
eral Assembly there In the music hall of
the Steel Pier.
When one thinks a bit, thoURh. It Is re
membered that tho blend of crispness nnd
kindliness which one finds In tho man from
Iowa or Nebraska and that neighborhood
Isn't so very different from the manner of
the man who comos from up Stato In 1'enu
srlv.tnla. WashlnKton and Jefferson released him
"if a graduate In 1880 nnd Wesleynn Theo
logical Seminary In Pittsburgh tiv 188U.
1 Then ho held pastorntes In Clreensbuiff, Pa. ;
IledUnds, Cal and Ucavcr, Pa., and In
1909 was called to Coo College to bo Its
president. He has been a dandy one. tt
was solidly testified to when ho was nom
inated, and the grcnt vote that elected him
ever Hey. "W. L. McEwan, of Pittsburgh,
showed that the delegates believed what
'they heard.
' TOA1TS OP DOCTOIl MARQUIS.
Doctor Marquis Isn't at nil tho typo of
man that his predecessor In oftlco Is. Mo
hasn't that easy confidence of grnco or tho
-, polished way of act and speech or the
facile wit that fits so delicately ench occa
sion It Is brought forward for, but he has
the humor of the crowd, the dauntless cour
ages of a man who willingly fights a crowd
and a directness which maybe Irritates bo
eaUBo It Is sharp, but wins friends be
cause It Is honest.
In aword, Doctor Marquis probably
couldn't hold a candle to Doctor Stevenson
as, say, an after-dinner speaker or a man
Who fits In well at any speaker's tnble
when his speech must bo an Impromptu
one, but when there Is something to say
or to do, something that counts, why, then
you may believe that Doctor Marquis Is tho
' man to do It
Ho showed It In the way ho uttered Just
ono sentence yesterday. Doctor Stevenson
had presented tho gavel with authority to
him, had presented It after a speech that
wfjs n gem In compliment nnd entcrtaln-
, Burnt. And then Doctor Marquis responded
jut as many other men would have done.
He had attention, ho got a laugh or two, ho
said some things that wcro Just tho things
to say- But there was nothing In what ho
eald or the way he said It was csneclall"
superior. Nothing, until he finished. And

at Atlantic City, yesterday, by a
substantial majority.
then, right bang up on his rcsiion.se to Doc
tor Stevenson, ho said:
"And now we'll gef down to business."
INDEX TO THI3 MAN.
That Bcntence, expressed as he expressed
It. gavo tho Index to lite man. It showed
his forcefulncss. tho dlspatrh he putK to af
fairs nnd tho high command ho ran nssumo
He had mndo his bow, and was tho boss;
ho knew It nnd you knew It.
The election of Doctor Marquis had been
predicted, but nt that tho expectation may
havo been denied If It 'had not been for
the unfortunate for Doctor McKwan
speech by tho llnv. John Y. llwnrt, of
Colorado Springs, Col. Mr. Hwart lost the
sympathy of his nudlonco. That may
soem superlatively speaking, but the ex
pression of tho listeners permitted no other
construction of his words. They shouted
out their denials the while ho tnlkcd, they
hissed and they shuffled their feet In dis
approval. When ho got done speaking Doc
tor Marquis was as good us elected.
Maybe, though, It was a fortunnto thing
for tho General Assembly that the speech
was made. It led bad blood out carl), nnd
showed where tho convention stood. Mr.
Kwart, III speaking for Doctor McUwan,
showed what violent punishment tho New
York Presbytery would get if his nominee
was made. It let bad blood our early, and
Doctor Marquis' election Is evidence In it
self that tho Now York Picsbytcry will be
treated leniently.
Doctor Marquis takes his new honors
protty easily. He probably is thinking that
tho new experiences, which will come to
him on account of his added work, will
givo him material for another book. Ho
has already written several.

MOTHER AND DAUGHTERS
IN DARKNESS TWQ.YEARS
.Voluntary Prisoners' in Flat Fed
by Woman's Aged Husband.
Never Ltif t Rooms
-h
NEW YORK, iay 19. One of those Poe
llket talea.jwhl.cn give tho hearer a thrill of
horror while challenging credulity enmo to
light In Brooklyn yesterday. It concerns
three patients In the Kings County Hospital
Mrs. Emma Hall and her daughters.
Frances" And riorence.
Representatives of the Society for tho
Protection of Children From Cruelty gained
admission late Wednesday night to their
apartment on, the second lloor of 166 stuy
vesant avenue, a comfortablo house In a
tood neighborhood, and had them taken to
the hospital.
It was learned that for two years tho
mother and daughters had been voluntary
prisoners In two rooms and had never seen
the light of day. All three wero like living
skeletons. The girls, 23 and 20 years old,
each, weighed scarcely more than 75 pounds.
During the entlro two years their house
hold goods had not been unpacked. None
had slept In a bed. They had taken rest
in cushioned chairs nnd lived upon food
brought every other day by Adam Hall,
second husband of tho mother. He Is a
watchman, 70 years old.
Tho condition of Mrs Hall and both her
daughters Is such that it Is doubtful It
they will live long.
An astonishing figuro greeted the Inves
tigators. It was that of nn old woman,
little, white-haired, bent, with -skin llko
parchment drawn across the bones of her
fnce. She wore a loose calico gown, ter
ribly grimed. On her head were three
nightcaps, one above the other. Topping
these, ludicrously, was an Immenso sun
bonnet. "Why must you dlstuib mo?" sho chal
lenged. "Have you no syippathy for a
sick woman? I've had Brlght's disease for
years, nnd I've been alone In my agony
with my 'daughters , If you must come in,
don't touch anything? Don't touch any
thing!" She fell Into a chair, shrieking.

"There Is, however, n special note of
congratulation that, 1 would strike as you
assemble lere. For tho last four years no
doubt you have on and oft heard or rend
some extravagant expressions about our
city being sadly on the wane. It vvns not
true, nnd Is not truo now. A week ngo
last Tuesday wo had n lilatorlo kind of an
election. Tho Issue was between the
highest nnd lowest standards of civic
righteousness In tho community. Too long
had wo been flamboyantly lectured by n
Mayor whom wo had ceased to respect
Too long had the world been Informed that
Atlantic Olfy was on the downward path.
'Tho Journals of tho country printed
these misleading statements broadcast. Tho
country was told that prosperity had come
to a standstill ', that tho very sponsors tor
morality nnd religion hnd seriously Im
paired Its growth; that, In fact, n drastic
necessity was tho Importation of all kinds
of Immoral rlfraff, such ns pugilists, ballet
girls nnd gamblers.
"Wo chafed under this fnlso Indictment,
but on election day. May 9, tho better cle
ment of our city roso In Indignant protest

mouthpiece of Atlantic City's needs to the
political scrap heap Thero ho lies and tho

more forever.
"It was a noble piece of work, and 1 am
proud to sny that we Presbyterians hada
hand In It Now Atlnntlc City has ren
dered n decision In belinlf of Ur material
prosperity ns well ns Its moral prestige,

more- than tt coincidence rather a. piece of

name of Atlantic City's more genuine aim

you to bid ua Godspeed In our hlghor pur

BEATS BEST PREVIOUS MOTOR CAR
RECORD BY NEARLY FOUR DAYS
A fully equipped Cadillac Eigjht-Cylinder Stock Roadster with E. G.
Baker at the wheel, accompanied 'by W. F. Sturm, left Los Angeles, Calif.,
at 12:01 A. M. Monday, May 8th, and arrived in New York City, through
the Metropolitan traffic to Times Square, Broadway and Forty-second
Street, on Monday, May 15th, at 2:53 P. M.
Making the necessary allowance far variation in time of the two cities,
the lapsed period was 7 days 11 hours 52 minutes.
The driving was all done by one man, E. G. Baker, hence periods for
sleep and for food were required.
The distance by railroad is 320 miles and 22 locomotives are used. The
train runs over smooth tracks with a clear right of way, while the Cadillac
was obliged to travel 3471 miles and to contend with unnumbered obstacles
which the roadway conditions presented over mountain ranges, along
precipitous passes, through desert jwastes, fording unbridged streams, and
through roads almost impassable at their best, but made worse by this
spring's copious rains.
This phenomenal achievement, in spite of what was probably the most
gruelling punishment which a motor car has ever been called upon to en
dure for so long a period, following upon the heels of numerous other re
markable road accomplishments, again demonstrates the Cadillac's rieht tn
the distinction "The World's Greatest Road Car." '
