BEING POLICEMEN
KOEEDI OF GRAFT
Two Detectives Charged With Hav
ing Solicited Money From
|f Resorts
Special to The Telegraph
Reading, Pa., Aug. 6.—Rumors of
graft In the local Police Department
that have heen current for some days
reached a climax in the arrest of City
Police Detectives Kdward T. Hallissey
and Peter S. McGovern on warrants
issued by Magistrate Kreider, charging
them with receiving a bribe and with
extortion as city policemen.
The informant in the case is An
thony J. Penn, a one-time acrobat and
well-known young man about town.
The warrants were served by Detec
tive German, and the accused entered
bail in the sum of SSOO each for a hea
ing.
Some startling revelations of doings
in local police circles are promised by
the arrests. They caused quite as
much of a sensation as did the arrests
of the four City Councilmen and City
Clerk more than a year ago on charges
of accepting graft in the purchase of
automobile fire apparatus.
Detectives Hallissey and McGovern,
the former of whom wan once a mem
ber of the State Constabulary, are the
only plainclothes men on Mayor Strat
ton's police force. Both were appoint
ed by him at the beginning of his four
year term, which will expire in De
cember. The specific charges against
the two officers are that they solicited
the sum of SRO from the keepers of

certain disorderly houses, in return
for which they were to guarantee
police protection. All raids on places
of this character were usually made
by the two officers.
It Is said that several private citi
zens are back of the prosecutions and
that at least half a Ctozen affidavits
have been secured from persons who
say they have paid trlrjute for police
protection. These affidavits, it Is said,
are now in possession of tne Magis
trate.
Friends of the accused detectives say
the officers are being made the vic
tims of a feud between two factions
that have sprung up in the local Re
publican party and that their heads
are sought by the faction which is op
posed to Mayor Stratton and his ad
ministration at City Hall.
Strap Hanging in Cars
Harmful, Says Osteopath
Portland, Ore., AUK. 6.—High steps
on the street ears and strap handing
are wrecking the anatomy of the Am
erican people, according to Dr. H. H.
Fryette, of the faculty of the Chicago
College of Osteopathy, at to-day's ses
sion of the International Osteopathic
convention. Certain parts of the hu
man frame, he said, are displaced by
the particular twist and strain pro
duced in the attempt to mount street
cars which have too high steps.
Strap hanging, particularly by wo
men. was denounced by Dr. Fryette
as undue strain on even more vital
parts of the body.
The cure of catarrhal deafness,
which has resisted the old-school
methods, is now successfully perform
ed by the new osteopathic method of
finger surgery in the throat, according
to Dr. James D. Edwards, of St. Louis,
who demonstrated his technique.
Hay fever can often be cured by os
teopathic adjustment by means of the
finger in the throat, according to Dr.
H. W. Goehrlng, of Pittsburgh, who
reported a large number of cases
which had responded to this new treat
ment.
Man Who Threatened
Wilson Is Arrested
San Antonio, Texas, Aug. 6.—Charg
ed with threatening the life of Presi
dent Wilson and also with threatening
to kill ex-President Theodore Roose
velt, P. H. Juergens, 26 years old, Is
held In default of $2,000 ball. The
charges were preferred by J. L. Camp,
United States attorney.
Juergens was arrested after the al
leged letter to President Wilson had
been mailed at Austin and intercepted
by post office inspectors, according to
the district attorney's office. It was
written, they said, on the stationery
of a well-known business man of Aus
tin and signed with his name, but
he was not believed to he connected
\Vith the affair. *

Japanese Christians Conduct
Great Evangelistic Campaign
Aided by Americans, Native Churches Covering; Coun
try by New Methods; Business Womajj Favorite
Speaker
(By the Religious Rambler)
EVERYBODY who keeps at ail in
touch with things religious
knows that the punt winter was
one of extraordinary evangelistic
activity, all over America, and that
this interest in revivals continues; but
few on this side of the Pacific are
aware that Japanese Christians have
rounded out a year of special nation
wide, interdenominational evangelistic
campaigning, with many of the meth
ods used by "Billy" Sunday.
In the report that has come to this
country, by way of tne Invaluable
handbook, "The Christian Movement
In the Japanese Empire," it is stated
that, includtng the union evangelistic
work done in connection with the
Tokyo Exhibition, about ten thousand
"Inquirers" were enrolled and some
thing like three hunurejl thousand
persons heard the gospet messages.
Nearly two thousand meetings were
held.
Most notable is the fact that this
campaign was managed largely by the
Japanese Christians themselves, the
foreign missionaries co-operating.
Most of the speaking was done by
Japanese pastors, thougn many lay
men also were heard. Perhaps the
most popular speaker of the entire
campaign was Madam Hlraoka, of
Osaka, the head of the family of
Mitsui, the leading bankers and mer
chants of all Japan. Mrs. Hlraoka is
a recent convert to Christianity, and
a woman of great force. That she, or
any other Japanese woman should be
heard on the public platrorm, is a fact
of real significance.
An Echo of Edinburg
Like a diversity of other aggressive
Christian work In the past five years,
this United Evangelistic Campaign in
Japan roots hack in the Edinburg Mis
sionary Conference of 1910. The Con
ference's Continuation Committee for
Japan met in Tokyo, m 1913, with
John R. Mott, of New York, and plan
ned this religious advance on a nation
wide scale.
The scheme represented more than
enhanced missionary activity—though
the 1128 foreign missionaries in Japan
are a powerful force in the life of the
985 organized Christian churches, and
of the 114,544 Protestant Church
members. The basic Idea was to set
the native church afire witn evangelis
tic zeal. Thus plans were made to
Insure the interest of all the Christians
and the leadership of an unprecedent
ed number.
The time proved opportune. Japan
had been shocked by the scandals In
the navy and In the Imperial house
hold department, and in the famous
Buddhist Hongwangl Temple, where
the Lord High Abbot -was forced to
I resign. The American crisis was un-
I settling people's minds. The Gov
ernment In power had been over
thrown. faxes were cruelly hlgn.
Many statesmen were pointing out the
need of a vital religious corrective for
Virginia Will Soon
Lose Its Mint Juleps
Special to The Telegraph
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 6. The victory
of the "drys" In Virginia in the Demo
cratic primary of last Tuesday marks
an Invasion of the Prohibitionists into
an entirely new territory. This ter
ritory is sentimenta\ rather than
geographical In Its nature, in that the
enactment of the legislation which
was an issue in the primary campaign
will theoretically, if not practically,
mark the passage in the Old Dominion
of the mint julep, which has from
antebellum days been closeby as
sociated with the picturesque charac
teristics attributed to tne cavaliers of
the old South.
From time immemorial the picture
of the "Southern gentleman," with his
mansion and broad acres in Virginia
and the old negro serving mint Juleps,
has been dear to the hearts of the
novelist and of devotees of "local
color."
Reports from Virginia, which are
not complete, indicate that tne victory
of the "drys" has heen sufficient to
guarantee an overwhelming majority
in both branches of the Virginia As
sembly. It is true that the vote was
only in a primary, but a Democratic
primary nomination in Virginia is
tantamount to election.
the moral conditions among the edu
cated young Japanese, of both sexec>.
A new social ferment was abroad in
the nation, as represented by agitation
for the reform of conditions of mar
riage and divorce, and for the better
ment of the lot of the women and chil
dren in the factories. \Vhen the great
war broke, instead of hindering the
evangelistic movement by the example
of the Christian nations of Europe, as
some persons feared, it reacted favor
ably upon popular interest in the meet
ings.
So all the conditions made for suc
cess. Wherever the teams of speakers
went, they were welcomed by the offi
cials and entertained at banquets. The
co-operation of publio men was re
markable.
Using the Japanese Press
Quite in "Billy" Sunday fashion, the
meetings were elaborately organized,
by eastern and western districts of
Japan, with meetings in 57 cities and
14 provinces, of the eastern district,
for instance. Preparatory organiza
tions were effected and every local
campaign included advance meetings,
prayer groups, union services, meet
ings for men, for women, for students,
for businessmen, for teachers, etc.
Many banks and business places in-
Ivlted the local committee to hold
meetings in their establishments.
When it is recalled that Japan is a
"haathen" country the significance of
this is apparent.
In addition to the friendly Interest
of the newspapers, there was widely
employed a method ot paid publicity
which has been longer in vogue in
Japan than in America. For ten years
past some missionaries under the
leadership of a Dutch Reformed Mis
sionary, Dr. Pleters have been buying
space in daily newspaper* to set forth
the claims of Christianity, and asking
Interested persons to send In questions.
The result has been a really nation
wide correspondence course on Chris
tianity. This method was used with
augumented force during the national
campaign.
How -Japan Rcs|x>ndc<l
The figures already given for tho
first year of the campaign do not tell
the whole story. A large proportion
of those who attended the meetings
were educated Japanese, and of the
upper classes, of the sort whom it has
beer, difficult hitherto to reach. A
really sympathetic interest In the
movement was general.
Nbthlng less than a new accession
of life and self-consciousness came to
the native churches. They learned
that they could do big things. The
gospel was given right of way in their
thinking and working. The expecta
tion Is that the second year of this
] modern evangelism—for it is to be re
peated—will be even more fruitful
than the first. There Is international
| interest In this, because it Is conceded
I that only the spirit or religion can
solve the Japanese-American question.

; Don't Wash Your
' Hair With Soap
When you wash your hair, don't use
• soap. Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali, which
, is very injurious, as it dries the scalp
i and makes the hair brittle.
; The hest thing to use is just plain
[ mulslfied cocoanut oil. for this Is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap
, j and beats soaps or anything else all to
pieces. You can get this at any drug
| store, and a few ounces will last the
j whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in; about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. It makes an
. abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to handle.
Besides, it loosens and takes out everv
particle.of dust, dirt and dandruff.—
