DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGOH, MONDAY, OCTOBEE 13, 1913. PAOB THREE. L tCNITBD PRESS LEiStn WIBB. Cleveland, 0., Oct. 13. The good ship Gospel Boat, piloted through the water front Bection and the residential district, and from whieh Chaplain J. D. Jones, former sailor and civil war veteran, will fish for the souls of men, in expected once more to become a fa miliar sight to Clevelanders. And John D. Rockefeller may be her Bponsor. The Gospel Boat was launched twelve years ago by Chaplain Jones as the Floating Bethel Mission. She is an eighteen foot yawl mounted on wheels and . drawn by a team of horsos. She made port wherever a crowd could be gathered. Within her cockpit stood an alter, a pile of hymn books and a melodeon. At her port and star board bows hung the regulation red and green lights. At her stern floated the Stars and Stripes. A few years ago the failing health of Chaplain Jones forced him to turn the helm over to Rev. Henry Hager, then pastor of the Euclid Avenue Bap tist church, better known as John D. Rockefeller's church. It is through the rector of the Euclid Avenue house of worship that Rockefeller givus much of benefactions. A short time later the boat was "dry-docked" in a barn and has lain there ever since. But now her original pilot has come back. A few days ago he attended services at the Euclid Avenue Baptist church and spoke to the 'Oil King and the pastor, Rev. W. W. Bustard, concerning plac ing the boat again in commission. . It is said Rockefeller heartily agreed to aid in the re-launching. REV. BABOCK GOES TO Accepting an offer to take the pas torate of the First Prosbytorian church at Morced, Cal., Rev. H. T.

Resolutions . of appreciation have been passed by dif ferent religious organizations in the city, lauding tho departing minister for his good work hero. OUR PALACE COACHES ONITKD rniSSR LEASED WIRE.) Seattle, Wash. Oct. 13. Gottfried Furuholmen, general manager of tho Norwegian state railways, who is on a "seeing America" tour with Harold Buch, chief engincor of tho same sys tem, thinks we are a shameful lot. "It has boen extremely embarrass ing to me," said Mr. Furulholmon at his hotel here "to be compelled to go, half dressed, into the public wash room in your Pullman cars and wait for your turn at the water. Now, in our country, we have compartments much more private. There is altogether too much familiarity hero." Furuholmen and Buch came to Am erica to attend the refrigeration con gress at Chicago. They are on their way 'east after having visited Califor nia. KILLS PAIS AND SELF. (CHITE& PIUS LI1BED WIM. West Guilford, Vt., Oct. 13.

He had lain in a critical condition for nearly two weeks after having been stricken with paralysis while addressing a fusion party rally in this city. He was 55 years old. The former lieutenant-governor' was first stricken on the night of Septem ber 29, last on the platform, in Cooper Union at a fusion ratification meeting while making a stirring speech. Born in New Haven, Conn., 55 years ago and a graduate from Yale univer sity in the class of 1879, Mr. Woodruff shortly after began to take an active part in politics as a Republican. He was an active political figure in New York state for nearly 30 years, and un til a year ago, when he left that party and joined the Progressives, his name was nearly always to be found in the roll of Republican, national, state and city conventions. As a delegate from New York in the Republican national convention of 1908 he nominated James S. Sherman for vice-president. He ran for lieutenant governor in 1896, was elected and re nominated in 1898 and again in 1900. CASES OF GUNMEN ARE ARGUED BEFORE COURT CNITID PMSR LEASED WIBE.1 Albany, N. Y., Oct. 13. Arguments on the appeal of ex-Police Lieutenant Clvarles Becker and his four Rosen thal gunmen from sentence of death, were begun today before the court of appeals. The arguments were to have been made some weeks ago but the Sul zor impeachment proceedings at which the court of appeals judges sat ias members of the impeachment court, made necessary the postponement un til today. Speedy decisions in the Becker-gunmen cases are expected. Should the court decide against the condemned men it seemed Bortain today that a further appeal would bo taken to the United States supreme court. This would mean that the men con victed of the sonsational killing of Gambler Rosenthal will not be executed for many months at least. The A. O. U. W. fraternal order held a district convontion in this city Sutur day and Judgo P. H. D'Arcy was re elected chairman, and S. A. .McFaddon secretiiry of tho order.

Of course, he is a doctor and speaks whereof he knows probably but what are the mothers of our country doing, and what are they going to do in the future about raising their families? Are we going to commence with the kin dprgarten and install apparatus in our public schools covering all the details of the home, such as washing dishes, making beds, darning stockings, frying chicken and keeping house generally! I don't mean to be a pessimist or a knocker, and would say that that the best is none too good, especially for our young girls, whom the doctor says are coming into womanhood but it oc curs to me that personal cleanliness and bathing are home duties, and should be attended to there. Physiology teaches the necessity of bathing, of sunshine and of exercise, and it is taught in the public schools. If we were out of debt and had mon ey to burn it might be wise to equip our schools and create more offices and hire more instructors to teach the rising generation things they should loarn at their homes and remove all re- ; sponsibilities of their parents, but with j our half million-dollar indebtedness, and taxes going out of sight, I think it is high time to cut out a whole lot of this unnecessary expense.
