The great missionary of Leeds preached the last morning sermon of his Raleigh mission today at Central Methodist church to a congregation that filled the edifice despite the unfavorable weather.

Dr. Samuel Chadw ick took for his text this tho tenth verse of the twenty-first chapter of the book Revelation: "And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me that great 1 lie holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God." The preacher began by contrasting Babylon with Jerusalem, saying that Babylon represnted the consummation of man's resources without God, while Jerusalem was tho consummation of the work of Jesus Christ, for Jesus eame not only to save a few people, but to bring heaven to earth. That idea is expressed, said Dr. Chadwick, in this sentence of the prayer' he taught his disciples, "Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." A vivid picture of Babylon's great splendor, mighty wraith, wonderful commerce, great -distinction and facilities for pleasure was given. Then swiftly across the face of the picture of glory was written the words of doom.

"Babylon is fallen." Fallen because of inherent weakness. That was representative of all cities and empires man has over built in which God has not been honored. Nations never perish save from nioriil rot. Armies have- never them. They have been prey to inward corruption.

Thai, was tin- history of all the empires of the world. With his own iiu-gcv God hud 'written the epitaph of In lien nations, "(i, Israel, thou hasl destroyed No-man could have destroyed it. No combination of forces could have, -overthrown' it. Dr. Chadwick beautifully explained the allegory of the New Jerusalem.

He said there were a great many good people ho really believed there were golden 'streets and crowns and all that literally, and he had heard a col ored preacher once tell his congregation In a V. seriousness that the principal business of the angels was going about measuring the heads of the saints, so that their crowns of gold "night be 'prepared to lit tin in. Then using Babylon anil the New Jerusalem as forceful illustrations, he preached one of his greatest sermons on the need of God in men's enterprises, and the glory of the consummation when' man calls on God to perfect hat he is trying to accomplish, anil when God answers him, or when God, sum moning man to His work, is obeyed with unquestioning devotion. At 4 o'clock this afternoon Dr. Chad, wick conducts the Bible school at the Central 'church, and tonight the last service of the mission wil lie hi Id.

(By the Associated Press.) Washington, March 29. President Roosevelt figured as the storm center in the house committee on territories today during a hearing on the Lacey bill prohibiting the use of all kinds of automatic shot guns in the territories of the United States in the Interest of the protection of game. Both sides to the conroversy who were heard endeavored to put the president on their side.

The result was Anally an effort to expunge the whole reference to the president from the hearings, but this the committee refused. This record will therefore contain lirst -prepared article by President! G. O. Shields, of the League of American Sportsmen, which puts the president squarely on record in favor of tho campaign against repeating guns. Then, when the opposition, representing the manufacturers of small arms, intimated that the president had repudiated this statement, Mr.

Shields admitted the president had refused to be placed in quotation marks, but admitted holding the views attributed to him. To substantiate this, he read the following letter signed by the president, under date of January 22, 1906: "My Dear-Shields: "I am sorry to say that I must ask you under tto circumstances to put me in quotation marks; for though you give the sense of what I sad, you In no -case give the exact language used, so do not try to quote me in the first or to use quotation marks. You can state that my views are substantially as you have quoted them, but don't actually quote them. "Sincerely yours, "THEODORE ROOSEVELT." When this letter was read Bovee, representing the manufacturers of the guns in question, declared that this letter did not tell the whole story. That Mr.

Shields had quoted the president, notwithstanding the warning. Mr. Shields interjected that he had not, but that the statement sent to the papers by him had been "edited" by several papers and the president put in "quotes." "Weil, listen to this letter," ejaculated Mr. Bovee as he proceeded to read another and later letter from the president to Mr. Shields, as follows: "White House, February 19, 1906.

"Sir: It appears that you have pur ported to give an extended interview with ine in quotation marks, putting my expressions In the first person so as to make me responsible for both thought and language. This is inexcusable on your part. At the time you called upon ine and I talked over informally with you the question of the preservation of game and of wild lite generally in its various aspects, I told you explicitly that while you could state that I was in hearty general accord with your efforts, you were not to try to quote my language, and I substantia wrote to you repeating this. As a matter of fact, in wnat appears to be these quotations you in no case gave the exact language that I used. But pretending thus to give it, and by what you omit as well as what you insert which I had not said, you convey on certain points an entirely false Impression, and you will leave me no alternative, but to explicitly repudiate your statement, which I hereby do-Had you been content to say that you gave the general sense of what I said you would have done what you were authorized to do.

But when you attempt to give my exact words, you not only do what I explicitly told you you should not do, but you used language which I explicitly told you was In no case accurate. Not one single sentence you quote is as I said it. Some of the sentences are sheer inventions, others are inventions in part and some of the things I said are omitted. "It 's unnecessary to characterize sueli conduct on your part. "Yours, etc.

"THEODORH ROOSEVELT." After the reading of this letter Representative Cole of Ohio, a member of the committee, remarked to Mr. Shields: "Do you think the president would trust himself in the woods without a repeating rifle?" Mr. Shields answered that ho thought he would. The president, ho said, was a thorough sportsman. The committee, after argument, (aid the bill on the table, thus making future action impossible.

Aindng Incident in Wake Supreme Court Today JUDGE WAS MISTAKEN Thought Witness Was a White Man and Reprimanded Deputy Sheriff for; Handing Him J'Jim Crow" Bible to Bo SwornNegro Sentenced for Stealing Corn from J. C. Drewry's Farm. An Illustration of the confusion that may arise from the use of "Jim Crow" bibles in court occurred in Wake superior court this morning and constitutes a good joke on Judge Council and Solicitor Amistead Jones.

E. Johnson, the well known colored lawyer, who holds a clerkship in the office of tho United Stales district attorney, was a witness in a easo in Which Daniel Jeffreys, a negro school teacher, was arraigned for disposing of mule on which there was a mortgage.

He had not been sworn and Deputy Sheriff Scars handed hi.n tho Bible kept in the court for administering oaths to negroes.

Judge. Council, being under the Impression flint Johnson was a white man, said rather sharply from tho bench: "Mr. Sheriff, you have given the witness the 'wrong Bible. That one over there is the ore for Iho use nf white people," indicating another Testament on the table. "Not I am a stickler about such matters, but if there are to be different Bibles kept for the races then you must not got 'them niixel that way.

Have a different place for them, and keep them thero. Then suih mistakes as this will not bo made." Deputy Sheriff Sears changed the Johnson tho "white folks" Bible, no explanation being made by any one to tho court. However the clerk was so amused at the incident that he had difficulty In administering the oath to the witness. Tho colored school teacher, Jeffrey, who was on trial Was on his own statement of the case adjudged at least technically guilty, and was fined tin and costs. He explained the ease by saying that ho had 'merely leased the Inule to a party who afterwards made way with fhe mulo without even paying him the money' agreed on in the lease.

He testified that he had taught school In the-county up to last Fri-' day. William Bates, colored, was convicted of stealing corn from Mr. John ('. Drewry at his farm near the ell. and was sentenced to eight months on the county roads.

"-Though the Philippine census fails to disclose the number of Pulijanes on the Island of Samar, who are now being pursued by constabulary under the leadership of Governor Curry in retaliation for the attack tfpon his party recently, it is estimated by officers in the war department who have been stationed on the island that there are not to exceed 2,500 of these people in the mountain fastnesses. They are not, as commonly supposed, a race of themselevs, but as explained by one of these army officers, tho Pulijanes are really Vis-ayans who nave "gone wrong." They are people who were once under the Spanish religious influence but have retrograded into a state of barbarism; have taken to the mountains and live in large part by- preying upon the toilers in the agricultural sections.

Thus they are like the Ladrones" in Luzon, and the bri gand Moros. The Spanish government records mention them as "Tuli-sanes," which is said to bo the vocal equivalent of the native word "Pulijanes" while the church designates them "Reniontados," which means a people that have once practiced Christianity and lived by honest labor but have "backslid." In the opinion of army officers here it will he no easy task for Governor Curry to subdue these "Pulijanes" because they are like)' the American Indians in the bad lands and are very much assisted by their women, who travel back and forth into towns, bringing out supplies of rice and other necessaries despite the watchfulness of the American troops and native guards: Alexander is 111.
