Doctor fonwei. ald tnat many per

that "there is sucn a thing as being
over-Sabbatic."
"I can remember the time when I
prayed for forgiveness because I opened

The case of the lord mayor of Cork,
who is near to death, after a fast of
more than 700 hours, whs cited b Woe
tor Conwell. Th clergyman did uot
criticize the lord mayor for his action,
but said that if he dies there will be u
division of opinion as to whether he
"committed suicide or was a martyr."
"If the lord mayor of Cork has con
tinued his fast owing to a high and
noble conviction that his cause Is a just
one, mankind will regard him as n
martyr, but If he is doing it merelv for
political effect men's verdict will be
that he deliberately committed sui
clde," Doctor Conwell said
"And when he dies. If he does die.
there will be a great difference of oplu
Ion as to whether his notion wnH mar
tyrdom or deliberate self-murder."
The Bolshevists were cited by Doctor
Conwell hs men who were carrying
righteousness to an extreme. "The I5ol
hevists are right in principle," Doctni
Jonwcll declared, "and when I.enlne, I

"But while the principle is correct,
the Gospel does not tench men to seek to
bring about this ideal condition by any
such extreme method as that adopted b
Inine, TroUky and the Bolshevists
God does not want men to resort to
extremes. He wants them to exercise
common tense. 'Be not righteous over
much.' "

Practicability in Conference
With Railroa'd Officials
BRIDGE PLAN NOT AFFECTED
Ths prarticobllity of a tube under
the Delaware river as n means of sohing
traffic congestion will be discussed by
.Mayor Moore and prominent railroad
and railway officials nt a conference in
City Hall -within the next few (lii)s.
Discussion of a tube project within a
few days nfter the decision of the rail
road companies to increase the ferry
fare to four cents caused much comment
today in business circles.
Announcement was made in the
Mayor's offico yesterday that the city
chief executive had held several confer

of Ibt- Phtlnd"lnh!nnaplJ rranit .Co.,
at which ilnns were discu-'. u for ic
licv ng congest'on at the ferries.
May Use Police Power
It was intimated in tho statement
that the Mayor might us.e the police
power vested in him if steps were not
tuken to prevent overcrowding of ferry
boats and blocking of ferry approaches.
It was pointed out in tho statement
issued from the "Mayor's office" that
the plan), discussed would In no way

The statement follows:
"It develops from recent conferences
on transit matters that Mayor Moore
and President Mitten, pf tha Transit

Iniprocmcnts, with a view' of relieving
congestion at the ferries. Mr. Mitten,
it Is said, has .been working on n tube

nuunced that the Mayor intends to call
a larger conference some time this

"The Mnor uses the ferries fre
fluently and knows how great lias been

According to the "nntls" here the

Spcalic." Walker Ipinlns
A statement from Speaker Walker
e'plnlning the legislative "tangle" In
Tennessee, which was made pubiic here
tonigt, follows:
"On Wednesday, August 18, n mo
tion was made in the House that Senate
joint resolution No. 1, ratifying the
nineteenth amendment, lay upon the
table. This motion failed, the vote bo
mg a tie, 48 to -18. The question then
recurred In the House concurring in the
said joint resolution by a vote of 41)
to 17. but before the clerk announced
the vote nnd before the speaker de
clared the result, I changed my vote
from no to ai'e and entered upon the
journal a motion to reconsider, l'nder
all rules of parliamentary law mis was
a privileged motion.
The House met on August 10 and Au
gust -0 without any nction being taken
on the motion to reconsider. On Sat
iirdaj. August HI, in tho absence of a
quorum, ns the journal affirmatUely
shows, nn effort was made to call the
said Joint resolution No. 1 from the
journal, and in the absence of a quorum
the House refused to reconsider.
"The motion to recousider was en
tered on the Journal on August 18.
Until this motion was lawfully disposed
of the clerk could not transmit to the
Senate said joint resolution No. 1. If
no motion had been entered on the
Journal for n reconsideration within
two days next succeeding August 18,
then under Rule SI it would have been
out of order for any member to make n
motion to reconsider. Said Rule No. 31
does not provide that a motlou to recon
sider shall be disposed of within two
clays, but It does provide that It shall
be in order for any member voting with
the pre ailing side 'to move for n re
consideration at any time the same day
or the next two succeeding days or ac
tual session..' This rule has nlways
been recognized and followed as I have
interpreted the snmo herein.
"The motion to reconsider was en
tered ou the Journal the minute the
vote was cast and the rule was com
plied with when the first day a quorum
was present on September 1 the House
did reconsider its action and noncon
cured in aald joint resolution No. 1.
Tennessee, under Section 31! of Article
XI of her constitution, could not
ratify the amendment at this session.
Furthermore. Tennessee hna not done
so, as an examination ot Haire vs.

SJEPltolBER ' 18, i020
MAN GIVES 35 PINTS
OF BLOOD TO AID SICK
Only 1 of 16 Transfusions in 30
Months From Thomas Shaw
Failed to Bring Health
To havo undergone his sixteenth
blood transfusion operation, during
which time he bag given thirty-five pints
of blood in thirty months, Is tho record
of Thomas J. Shaw, twenty.slx years
old, known to tho medical profession
in Philadelphia as the "blood king."
Mr, Shaw., son of Mr. nnd Mrs.
William .T. Shaw, of 033 North Watts
street, thla tlty, is tho- picture of
health, notwithstanding tho fact that he
has been the donor of thirty-five pints
of blood and tips tho scales nt 103
pounds. Both arms ore scarred from
Incisions made by local surgeons, nnd
his left arm is bandaged as a result of
his sixteenth operation, performed last
Wednesday at the Lankenau Hospital.
"I nover felt better In my life," said
Mr. Shaw yesterday, "and I havo never
been sick a day slnco I underwent my
first blood transfusion operation, two
nnd one-half years ago. I am ready
for another operation whenever cnllcd
upon."
Mr. Shaw holds a record in Philadel
phia for blbod transfusion operations,
anfl believes it hns not been equaled
in Pennsylvania. Speaking of how
he became known to the local medical
nrofesslon as tho "blood king," Mr.
Shaw said:
"About three years ngo I wns nfillcted
with terrible headaches.' I consulted a
specialist and he advised me they were
caused from too much blood In my body.
He advised special treatments of re
moving a quantity of blood from my
body nt the time of each attack. Tor
these I paid him 5(50 each. I was sub
jected to three operations and found
little relief.
"Then a friend gave me an advertise
ment from a local paper where a donor
was sought to give a quart of blood for
a patient suffering from anemia nt the
Polyclinic Hospital. I answered the ad
vertisement and took n blood test. I
was the only one out of seventeen per
sons who passed tho test and an hour
later I underwent my first operation.
"From that timti until today I havo
undergone sixteen blood transfusion op
erations at tho following hospitals:
Mount Sinai, six; Kpiscopal, six; Os
teopathic, Nineteenth and Spring Oar
den streets, one; Polyclinic, one; Lnn
kenau, two. Surgeons have taken
thirty-five pints of blood from my body.
"Fortunately I am able to say that
with but one exception the patients for
whom I gave the blood recovered and
are enjoying tho best of health today.
"j. was called last Tuesday by n
noted surgeon of this city nnd naked to
give n quart of blood to William 13.
Finley, city councilman, but lie died
the next afternoon. I read that his
sister had previously undergone n blood
transfusion operation in giving her
brother a quantity of blood. Hut rela
tives blood never works out well In
transfusion, so the physicians tell
me."
ELLIS GIRLS' COLLEGE
WILL HAVE NEW HOME
Site on West Chester Pike to
Be Bought for Institution
for Fatherless
Arrangements are. being completed
for tho purchase of jt tract of land
on the West Chester pike, near New
town Square, as the permanent loca
tion of tho Ellis College for Fatherless
Girls. The grounds, which will be pur
chased at nn npnroximatc cost of $120.
000. will comnrisc 210 acres of beau
tiful, high land.
Negotiations for the purchase of the
tract hnvo been under wnv for some
time, nnd it is expected the contract
will soon he signed.
The announcement that the school
will be established in the West Chester
valley region comes as n surprise, as
it hac been generally supposed that the
permanent buildings would he erected
on the site of the Willam D. Dlsvton
estate in the Whltemarsh A'nlley, where
the school Is at piesent located.
The college is provided for under the
will of the late Chnrles K. 13111s. trac
tion mngunte. who left his entire for
tune of approximately 55,000,000 to he
applied to the establishment of such an
institution. The formal opening ex
crcUe took place on the Disston es
tate nearly n je.ir ago, although tlio
school was really in operation in July,
lotn.
The tract of land under considera
tion is deemed to be idenl for the pur
poses of the 6chool. The land is liber
ally covered with luxuriant woods,
while a beautiful stream courses througli
the lowland fields.
The nature of the buildings to be
erected has not yet beeu determined,
but It is likely that they will bo built
on the ecttngo plan. If this is cnrrlcd
out, it would mean to nsslgn ntteeu or
twenty girls to each house. The details
are in the hands of Malcolm Lloyd, Jr.,
president of tho board of tiustces of the
institution. John T. Wlndrlm bus been
retained as architeet.

LITHUANIANS PARADE HERE
Protest Against Polish Invasion of
Their Native Country
" Several thousand Lithuanians paraded
along Brood street and through South
Philadelphia jesterday in n protest
ngalust Polish invasion of their native
country. A feature of the demonstra
tion was the appearance of an airplane
thai flew along the route of march and
dropped explanatory circulars printed
in ITnglisli.
Tho parade began early in tho after
noon, starting at Lithuanian Hall,
Christian street and Moynraentting ave
nue. From there it wound down Third
street, to Tasker street, to Broad street,
to Spring Garden, to Fourth street, to
Wasliingon nvonue and up Moyamcnsing
avenue to the starting point.
At tho close of the parade n mass
meeting was staged in Lithuanian Hall
ns a further protest agaiust Polish in
vasion. Resolutions, essentially the
same as the circular, were adopted. Tho
circular read :
"Fifteen thousand Philadelphians of
Lithuanian origin emphatically protest
ugniust Polish invasion of Lithuania.
The Poles invaded Lithuania by cross
ing the demarcation line set by the
Versailles conference, and thus pro
voked the Lithuanians nnd caused the
present conflict between them nnd the
Poles."
