of them are plausible. But. he assert?
ed. If the real reason is anything save
to redeem souls It will fall. He did
not, he continued, believe that God will
permit the building of an institution
to foster selfish pride or feed sec?
tional partisanship or political preju?
dice. "We will go to Washington i"
God's name.
He said that religion measures the
finality of civilization, and that a sound
government could never be made up
of unsound politics.
The bishop deplored the lack of
Methodist spirit. The Baptists, he said,
would call a man from California to
Virginia, and no objection would bo
made. Vet If a Methodist minister Is
transferred from one conference to
another there Is more or less suspicion
and quibbling, lie closed with an ideal
picture of the work the Washington
Representative Church Is to do among
all classes and grades of society.

DlMcunseH Keine Hair.
In front of a heathen temple at
Kyoto, Japan, said Bishop Candler, be
saw a mighty cable, and was told that
ii had been used to hoist the Immense
pillars which adorned Its entrance.
The cable was made of ?hcjiair of the
women of China. Digressing a little,
speaker said that It he had the hair
on the heads of Southern Methodist
women, which was not natural or an?
cestral, he could make a cable which
would build another temple at KyoTb.
He thought perhaps that some con?
tributions were withheld from the
church and spent for false hair.

VICTORY W

Washington and Lee Defeats
Johns Hopkins in Joint
Debate.
[Special to The Times-Dispatch.]
Baltimore. Md.. April 28.?The Wash?
ington and Lee University debating
team defeated Johns Hopkins Univer?
sity to-night In McCoy Hall. The sub?
ject discussed was. "Resolved, That
the present distribution of powors be?
tween the i'odcral and State govern?
ments should be revised in pursuance
of a general policy of further central?
ization."
Hopkins had the affirmative and
Washington and Lee the negative. Dr.
Jo\m C. French was the presiding ot
Acer.
Tho speakers for Washington and
Leo were John O. Herndon, J. T. Gray,
Jr., and H. 1J. Ferguson, alternnte.
3'or Hopkins L. B. Bobbin, Leo Wol
man, nnd J. S. Dickinson, alternate.
Each speaker had a main speech ot
twenty minutes and a rebuttal speech
of five minutes' duration.
The judges were. Charles W. Hutsler
nnd Carroll T. Bond, of tho Baltimore
Supreme bench, and Eugene O'Du'nne,
of tho Baltimore bar. Tho decision
was by a 2-to-l vote.
Washington and Lee won mainly on
robuttal, showing that the arguments
presonted by the Hopkins team did not
constitute a revision of tho-powers in
the direction of centralization, but that
most of tho powers were already exer?
cised by Congress. Herndon wus the
slar speaker for tho visitors, and by
him most of their main argument was
presonted. All of the spcakora showed
an exhaustive knowledge of tho sub?
ject, and were congratulated on theit
work by the judges.
j For Hopkins, Leo Wolman spoka
well, but the burden of proof which
dovolved upon the afllrmatlvo was too
great, and he was unablo to rehut ef?
fectively tho arguments of Washington
and Loo. This Is the tlrst victory for
Washington and Loe, In threo years,
tho Hopkins tenm having won last
year and the ono before that.
Before tho speeches Dr. Irn Remsen
delivered an address.

TURNSPOTLIGHTS
ON WAVE OF CR IE
Three Grand Juries Investigate,
With Widely Divergent
Results.
New York, April 2S.?Throe Grand
Juries threw their spot lights tti-ilay
upon a so-called crime, wavo in New.
York, with widely divergent effects.
A strong presentment that tho polica
situation Is a matter of grave concern,
that the force la demoralized, and that
gangs of ruftinns opernto without ef?
fectual restraint In certain neighbor?
hoods, wns handed in by one:granJ
Jury. On the heels of this came an
opinion from the regular April grand
Jury that the police force was highly,
efficient and that criticisms of its ofi
forts are unwarranted. Simultaneous?
ly, the special grand Jury named to
investigate crime conditions delve*
still further into the situation by
questioning Police Commissioner James
S. Cropsey and Deputy Police Com?
missioner William T. Flyhri, who haj?
resigned.
Judge Rosalsky , of the Court of Spo-i
clal Sessions, to whom hoth presents
nionts were handed, agreed with thd
Unding of tho first grajrjd jury,
"I want to say to you," said Judga
Hosalsky of tho court, after reading
the presentment, "that from my ex?
perience on the bench during the past
few months, 1 am satisfied that the
police department Is demoralized, and!
that tho men have no contldenco lr?
their superiors. 1 have known Mayor}
Oaynor for a lonp lime, and know hlirt
to bo a good man. but he is somotlnioa
Impetuous nnd dobs things whiota. ho
might not approve in wiser moments?"
To the regular grand jury's present-;
meat, commending tho efficiency of tho
police Judge Rosalsky replied with a,
suggestion that a committee should bo
appointed to confer with the Mayor onj
the matter.
