REV. JAMES M. WILLIAMS DEAD
Bishop McCort Celebrates Mass for
Assistant Rector of Transfiguration
The funeral of the Rev. James M. Wil
liams, assistant rector of tho Church of the
Transfiguration. Fifty-fifth street and Cedar
nvcnuo, was held today, with hundreds of
friends and parishioners In attendance.
Solemn pontifical mass was celebrated at
10 o'clock by Bishop McCort and Interment
followed In the New Cathedral Cemetery.
Father Williams died at tho age of forty
one after nn Illness of a month. He had
been nsslstant rector of tho church for
about a year, having been transferred there
from tho Church of St. Francli Xavler,
Twenty-fourth and Green streets. Ho was
ordained to the prlosthood fourteen years
ago.
Krwln C Garrett, who spends much time
In writing militant verse, Is truly a pugna
cious poet. He lives at 431 West Stafford
Ktreet, a quiet part of Gcrmantown.
He Is what authors rail "virile." He Is
or was a soldier. Garrett believes so much
In peace that ho Is willing to fight for It
Ho wrote peacefully whllo f.ghtlng In the
Philippines and was known as tho "army
poet"
He la the antithesis of the general poetic
suspicion. He Is big, broad-shouldered and
bald Instead of being thin, long-hatred and
onem c, as comlo paper editors would havo
un believe (wets aro.
Mr. Garrett In not a turret poet. He Is
a man of means. He Is brac. Ho Is
original and has Initiative.
HAS HAD HIS TROUBLES
It Is this last qualification probably
which has causod most of his trouble Gar
rett believes In settling matters quickly on
his own account when he learns that some
person has not performed his duty. This
habit has brought him In contact with the
pollco numerous times In the last few years.
Word of his last conflict reached hero
today. It was with a lifeguard at Cape
May, whom. It Is said, he whipped on Tues
day during an argument. Tho poet was
held In KOO ball. But the lifeguard was
patched up and also tha trouble, vearreti
criticized Lifeguard Keenan becausa a pi.in
nt the resort broke his neck by diving Into
shallow water. It appears that the guard
reminded Garrett that ho was not re
sponsible for tho depth of the ocean, and
words and fists followed rapidly.
Garrett admitted that he had criticized
tho guard, but said the subsequent hos
tilities were due to a misunderstanding.
Lnst August at the same place Garrett
had a fight with a motorman following a
quarrel over 4 fallen electrlo wire. Ha
was arrested, but the matter was
straightened out
FOUGHT WITH USHER
In 181! the poet was arrested for fight
ing with an usher of a Germsntown theater.
After a lengthy controversy the matter was
dropped and peace declared.
It appears that Garrett dous not believe
In exchange of notes or any literary ar
rangements before a fight, and In 1911
he got Into a battle with the motorman
of n Seventeenth street car whllo the car
was In motion In this case It appears
the battle was a draw.
When Garrett was with the Fifth United
States Cavalry In the Philippines he mado
It n point to get Into the thickest of the
fight Therefore his poems breathe the
spirit of combat and fearlessness.
He has published several books. One
of hi most popular volumes Is "Tho Dyak
Chief and Other Verses."
13,000 Plan Sunday School Parade
Arrangements for tha eighth District an
nual rally demonstration of the Eleventh

land Street Methodist Episcopal Church,
Cumberland and Coral streets. It Is ex
pected that 13,000 men, women and chil
dren will march In the parado October 7.

What Mitchell Extra
Would You Have Us Omit?
The Mitchell is the car of extras. They are 4ue to John W.
Bate, the efficiency engineer due to his, factory economies .
and his zeal for perfection. Come see them. Then decide
- for yourself if there is one "which you would have omitted.
In the Mitchell equipment there are
26 extras, of which no other car has
more than two or three.
In the Mitchell chassis there are 440
parte which are either drop forced or
steel stamped. Castincs are almost
eliminated.
i There are many oversize parts, to at
tain the Bate standard of 50 over
strength. There are many parts built
of Chrome-Vanadium steel, costing up
to 15 cents per pound.
In the Mitchell bodies open and
closed the beauties and luxuries of the
finest cars are combined.
Come study these cars in dutaU. Then
say for yourself if Bate-built cars de
serve the place they hold.
Know the Bate Idea
Factory economy is only one4 side of
efficiency. But it's a vital aide.
In this model factory, built and
equipped by Mr. Bate, our factory costs
have been cut in two. That is what pays
for the Mitchell extras. No car like
this could be sold at this price if built
as most cars are built,
But John W. Bate's ideas of efficiency
go very much further than that.
50 Over-Strength
Mr. Bate's standard for every port is
at least 50 per cent over-strength. And
every part in tho Mitchell meets it.
Thero Is no uncertainty on this. Ho
has used up fifty cars in proving strength
requirements. And h;s tests showed
when he mot thorn.
Another Bate idea for years has been
to make tills a lifetime car. Now it evi
dently is. One Bate-built car has run
218,000 miles. Seven have averaged
175,000 miles each over 30 years of
ordinary service.
Studied 257 Cars
This year our designers, under Mr.
Bate, have created seven new-style,
bodies. Three are open bodies, two are

all -season bodies, and two are winter
cars.
Before designing these bodies, our
artists examined 257 late models, Euro
pean and American. This to make sure
that the Mitchell omitted no attraction
known. Each Mitchell body has at least
twenty features which no like-typo
body has. v
You will see in tho Mitchell luxurious
bodies another idea of efficiency.
Won Experts' Respect
This Bate-built car, all the world over,
has won the respect of experts. Every
Mitchell showroom has a list of great
engineers men of nation-wide fame
who have bought it.
We urge you to learn the reasons.
Some qf them are conspicuous. Some
of them appear at once in the car's
performance. All of them will be glad
ly pointed out.
This Bate efficiency which the Mitchell
exemplifies is a major fact to consider.
It means, for one thing, 20 per cent
extra value. It means twice-as-long
service and twice-as-good service as
careless methods offer.
The new bodies are now on show.
