NOT THE WHOLE
WORKS
MEMBER OF FIFTH AVENUE BAP
TIST CHURCH SAYS "THERE
RE OTHER8."
New York, Jan. 12. Members of the
Fifth Avenue itaptist ckurch, which 1b
about to be merged with the Calvary
Baptist church and has always been
known as "the Rockefeller church,"
are anxious to dispel the impression
that the congregation has not plenty
of solid financial backing outside of
that furnished by the multi-millionaire,
who is one of its seat-holders, and
whose son, John D., Jr., is prominent
in its work. One of them told a re
porter that there are plenty of other
men of great wealth in the congrega
tion. While making this assertion the in
formant, who belongs to the Fifth Ave
nue Baptist church, who was desirous
of having the newspapers make the
correctoins, revealed the existence of
a group of men affiliated for church
work whose interests appear to be
closely associated with that of the
Sandard Oil chief in business. Edgar
L. Marston, president of the board of
trustees, is a director in the milk
trust and numerous other corporations
alleged to bear the Standard Oil
brand. He succeeded Mr. Rockefeller
as trustee of Vassar College upon Mr.
Rockefeller's resignation. He is a
member of the firm of Blair & Co., of
No. 24 Broad street, who have the
name in Wall street of doing much
business for the Standard Oil company
both in the purchase and sale of
stocks and along general banking
lines.
Probably next in importance will
come former Judge Robert Scott Lw
ett, the Texan lawyer who in 1909 was
made president of both the Union Pa
cific and Southern Pacific and chair
man of the board of directors which
controls both of these trunk lines
Edward I Ballard, secretary of the
hoard of trustees of the church, is
president of Mechanics' Fire Assur
ance association, of which John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., is a director.
Gilbert Holland Montague is a prom
inent corporation lawyer and is said
to have been intrusted with the legal
technicalities involved in the forma
tion of several companies connected
with the Standard Oil, either directly
or having on their board of directors
some of the Standard Oil men.
Colgate Hoyt, one of the trustees,
heads the firm of Colgate Hoyt & Co
bankers, of No. 55 Wall street He
has served as director at one time or
another in the Union Pacific, the Ore
gon Transcontinental company, the
Wisconsin Central railroad, the Ore
gon Railway and Navigation company,
the Northern Pacific, the Chicago and
Northern Pacific and the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas. He has a country
place of 250 acres at Central Island,
Oyster Bay, b. L
Henry Hubbard, now retired from
business, was a member of the firm
of Hubbard & Masslich, big corpora
tion lawyers, who organized many
companies. He and Mr. Hoyt sub
scribed $10,000 apiece to the build
ing fund when It was proposed to re
build the Fifth Avtrue church a year
or more ago. Charles D. Spencer an
other trustee, is also retired ruid is
principally interested in philanthropic
work for young men.
Of the professional men in the
church Dr. L,. Emmett Holt, who is
director and secretary of the Rocke
feller Institute of Medical Research,
is perhaps the best known. He is a
professor at the College of Physicians
and Surgeons and wrote a book, which
had a wide circulation, on "The Care
and Feeding of Children." Two
brothers, Drs. Arkell Roger McMichael
and J. Eugene McMichael, are said to
bead the homeopathic practitioners of
New York city.
"We have among our members
many young people who are just get
ting along in the world," said the in
formant. "There are among us brick
layers and policemen, college students,
lawyers, physicians, Wall street men.
We have ieople from almost every
trade and every profession. We are
in constant correspondence with other
churches and commercial organiza
tions all over the country with a ciew
to keeping in touch with the Baptists
that come to New York.
"The celebrated Bible class is the
center of this work and of many other
forms of activity of which the news
papers have never told. About a
dozen different committees look out
for different branches of the work.
The chairman of the committee form
an executive board, which meets once
a month. So every man is kept In
touch with the other fellow's job and
knows just what he must do himself
to supplement it.
"The co-operation committee Is
headed bj two rising young lawyers.
Its work is an Illustration of the ef
fort we make to keep in touch with
and to assist young men. They keep
informed of places where young men
can find work. They try to And suit
able boarding places for them. When
we are advised by our out-of-town cor
respondents that a young man Is com
ing this way, we are ready to take
care of him and see that he Is sub
jected to the proper influences, both
In a religious and practical sense. Our
aim is to interest them in New York
as a home, so that they may wor.. for
its betterment and remain here, in
stead of drifting off elsewhere after
they make money.
"Our entertainment committee, too,
is active. It is headed by Hunter S.
MarBton, Edgar I . Marston's son, and
among the members are Ambrose
Clarke, chairman of our board of
ushers, and Arthur Lockwood, who is
one of the big men in the Western
Electric company. This committee
now has under way our annual dinner,
which will be held within a few
weeks. George W. Perkins of Brown
University, will speak. So will Wil
liam J. Burns, the dete tive, and Pres
ident F&unce of Brown University.

MAFEK1NG HERO
TO VISIT IN
AMERICA
GENERAL ROBERT STEPHENSON
SMYTH BADEN-POWELL TO AR
RIVE LATE .THI8 MONTH.
Washington, Jan. 12. Official and
military circles In the national capital
aie looking forward with undisguised
interest to the prospective arrival in
this ciiy, toward the end of the month
of .Major General Robert Stephenson
Smyth Haden-Powell, the hero of Ma
fcking, who has started rom Eng
land on a tour of the world and is ex
ported to spend several weeks in the
I'nited States, visiting a number of
the large cities in various parts of the
country. One of the objects of his
tour is the solidification of the Boy
Scout movement of which he is the
father, into an international organization.
General Baden-Powell, who is con
sidered one of Great Britain's greatest
and most brilliant military men, was
born February 22, 1857, the son of the
late Rev. Baden-Powell of Oxford and
Langton Manor, and Henrietta Grace,
daughter of Admiral W. H. Smyth, of
the British navy. Robert Stephenson,
the builder of the first locomotive, was
his godfather. He received his educa
tion at Charterhouse and, at the n?e
of 19 joined the Thirteenth Hussars.
He was made adjutant and served
with that regiment in India, Afghanis-
m, and South Africa. He served on
the staff as assistant military secre
tary in South Africa from 1887 to
1S89, took active part in the opera
tions in Zululand and was mentioned
for his bravery in dispatches. From
1890 to 1893 he was assistant military
secretary in Malta. In 1895 he was
sent on special service to Ashanti, in
command of native levies and for his
eminent service he was decorated and
brevetted lieutenant colonel.
During the campaign at Matabele
land, 1896 to 1897, Colonel Baden-
Powell was chief staff officer and for
his bravery he was again mentioned
in ( ispatcheB and made brevet colonel.
Shoitly afterward he was made colo
nel of the Irregular Horse in South
Africa and in 1897 he was placed in
eomn. and of the Fifth Dragoon Guard.
As lieutenant colonel, commanding
the Fifth Dragoon Guard, he took part
in the early operations. During the
Boer war, Snydam, Boer commander,
shut him up in Maf eking. Cran
io came over from Ladysmith and
drew tho Hues closer about him.
Joubert appeared and added to the
Btrength of the besieging forces. After
a terrific bombardment on October 22,
he was asked to surrender, but he
answered. "You can't take us by sit
ting down outside. Come in and get
us." The bombardment was continued
day after day, but steadfastly Baden-
Powell refused to surrender. Then
the shells came flyingi too fast and
furiously the besieged men dug holes
in the ground and made them bomb
proof. Baden-Powell's force consisted of
600 South African rough riders, a fw
Kaffirs and a handful of town resi
dents. His artillery consisted only
of a few cannon that had seen ser
vice in South Africa 50 years before.
He was 870 miles from Cape Town,
144 miles north of Kimberley. and 856
miles from Buluwayo. There did not
seem much prospect of relief, as the
British troops were kept extremely
busy at other places, but Baden-Powell
refused to surrender. Always smil
ing, already ready with a kind word
or a joke, sharing the privations of
his troopers as he did their dangers,
he was their idol.
On October 31, Baden-Powell with
his handful of men made a sortie, but
was driven back by superior forces.
The bombardment was continued by
the Boers, but without effect upon
the spirits of the besieged. On Decem
ber 26, Baden-Powell again made a
sortie and succeeded in reaching the
Boer trenches, but once more he was
forced to fall back. Not until Febru
ary 18, 1900, two months after the be
ginning of an almost continuous bom
bardment, did the oBers make an at
tempt to storm the town. Although
weakened by starvation and reduced
in numbers by sickness, the British
defenders repulsed the Boers with
heavy losses. During the following two
months several other attempts were
made by the Boers, but In every case
they were thrown back by the gallant
defenders. It was on May 16, that Ma
feking was finally relieved, after a
siege of 217 days. The brave com
mander of the Mafeking garrison was
promoted to major general and In that
capacity took part in the subsequent
operations in the Transvaal. He was
repeatedly mentioned in dispatches
and was made Companion of the Bath.
After the war he organized the
South African constabulary and served
as inspector general of the constabu
lary until 1903, wen he was appoint
ed inspector general of cavalry and re
turned to England, where he became
the lion of society and extremely pop
ular not only with the army but with
people In general. He never married
and devoted his spare time to outdoor
sports and the writings of books on
hunting, scouting and various other
military subjects.
MINERS' STRIKE THREATENED
London, Jan. 12. The balloting by
the Miners' Federation of Great Brit
ain to determine whether or not the
organization shall stand firm in its
present dispute with the mine owners
concluded today. The votes of Uie
members, numbering between 600,000
and 700,000, will be forwarded to the
general secretary and the result of
the election will be made known at
the national conference which is to
assemble in Birmingham next Thursday.
Though hopes are still expressed
that the threatened strike may be
averted, there is no denying tn fact
that the outlook is causing much un
easiness. Two months remain to the
peacemakers as the present agreement
between the miners and operators will
uot terminate until the end of Febru
ary. The question of a minimum wage is
the bone of contention. The miners
appear to be determined in their de
mand that such a clause shall be in
corporated in the next agreement. The
great majority of the mine owners,
on the other hand, are strongly op
posed to it, and they argue that the
granting ot the men's demands would
lead at once to the closing of many
collieries which are at present being
worked on a small margin of profit.
