Memorial Criticising the Citadel „ _ Stirs up the DIOCESAN COUNCIL / im. C'. IL format withdraw* After That Body Decliaed to Spread or the Minnies a Memorial, Charg ing Citadel Officers with'Dlscrfm inatring Against Episcopalians. The Council of the Episcopal Dio- ces sat down on Kev. C. H. Joraen last Thorsday at Spartanburg, claim ing that he had not been shown the proper consideration of respect by the Council, because the Council re fused to adopt a resolution of fered by him and refused to approve a ^ memorial that he he presented, the Rev. C. H. Jordan, rector of the Nativity Church at Union, asked to be excused from fur ther attendance upon the sessions of the Council. The following ac count of the matter we take from The News and Courier:- The trouble was precipitated when Mr. Jordan presented a memorial from the Greenville convention, the subject of which was religious con ditions at the Citadel. The memorial was that there was religious discrim ination at the Institution against ca dets of Episcopal parents; that (hey were not allowed to attend services at the Episcopal churches as freely as they might; that they are requir ed to march in squads to other chnrcha, while the cadets of Roman Catholic faith are permitted to at- ted to attend the church of their faith. The discussion that followed the reading of the memorial was lively, objections being made to the adop tion ot consideration of the memo rial. Judge Haskell said that if the/ Council Interfered it would be {nixing religion with politics and advised the Council to steer clear of the master; that the'Cltadel was a State Institu tion and not under the control of the dioceses.* The Rev. Albert Thomas, of Dar lington, said that he was a graduate of the Citadel and he knew of his own knowledge that the Episcopal students are not being discriminated against. He said that there are five Episcopal churches in Charleston and that the cadets attend these churches more frequently 7 than the other churches. During the discussion it was brought /out that the students who are Roman Catholic were not required to attend the Protestant churches 4nd Mr. Jordan made the point tbht no exception should be made. /Finally, it was decided to re ceive the memorial as information and /hot spread it on the minutes of the Council. Mr. Jordan presented then a res olution providing for the appoint ment of a committee to make an In vestigation of the alleged religious discriminaition at (the Citadel and report the result of its findings at the next meeting of the Dioceses Council. The resolution provided for the Bishop to serve on the com mittee, Bishop Ouerry promptly stat ed that he would not serve. A mo tion was made and carried, almost unanimously, that the resolution b;* laid on the table. Mr. Jordan (then (addressed the Coutwlal stating that he had been shut off from debate by the Council, that he had not been treated with proper respect and courtesy and ask ed to be excused. The incident was regretted by members of the Coun cil. The proposal was almost un animously regarded as Ill-advised and as likely to place the church In an undesirable light, and to provoke an unpleasant religious controversy. The handling of the subject from a parliamentary standpoint was per haps a little Irregular and this gave Mr. Jordan ground for thinking that he had been treated In an unfair manner, although Bishop Guerry as sured' him that such had not beeu his Intention. The Citldel** System mm to Church Attendance Has Always Given Sat- isfaction—No Discrimination. * nd OoBrtap aars t^e reports from Spartanburg of tha at- tempt of the Rev. C. H. Jordan, of Union, a member of the Diocesan Council of the Episcopal church, to bring about an investigation of re ligious conditions at the Citadel, al leging that the cadets of the Epis copal faith were discriminated against and prevented from attend ing Episcopal churches, were read with astonishment in Charleston, where curiosity was generally ex pressed as to how an impression so erroneous as that indicated could have been formed by any one. Col. 6. J. Rond, the superintendent of the South Carolina Milltay Academy, had hfard nothing of the matter when a representative of The Newji and Courier visited him at the Cita del a few evenings ago, and he rfead the dispatch with the greatest sur prise. / ‘I can’t Understand the ipatter a* all,’ he said with a smile. “We are using today the same system as to church attendance that we have used for the last twenty y/ars, and this is the first complaint I have ever heard in regard to/the matter.” Cbl. Bond did rfot think that the situation was ^uch as to render necpesary any statement hy him, but he did not object lo explaining the system of church attendance as fol lowed at Jme Citadel. The cadets every Sunday morning are sent out by companies, he said, a company to a churrm. There are eleven church es onAhe list, which are attended in rotation. Five of these are Episco pal 7 churches—St. Michael’s, St. Fhillp’s, St. Paul's, St. Luke's and Grace Church; three are Presbyte rian, the First Presbyterian, Second Presbyterian and Westminster Prea- byterian churches; two are Methodist —Bethel and Trinity; one Baptist church is included, the Citadel Square Baptist church. There are. only six or seven Ro man Catholics in the student body, these are allowed to attend church es of their own faith. The students of the Jewish faith, are not requir ed to attend services at Christian churches against their will. Once each month communicants are allowed individual leave to at tend churchffi of their own denomi nation for the purpose of taking communion. The cadets are allowed Sunday afternoons off and may then attend any church they wish to attend. The first class has Sunday evenings off, and members of this class may go to any church they please on Sun day evenings. Col. Bond also added that relig ious services are held in the chapel at the Citadel each morning, that there is a Bible class every Sunday morning and that the Citadel Y. M. C. A. holds services every Wednes day evening and every Sunday even ing. “There is absolutely no discrim ination at the Citadel against stud ents of the Episcopal faith or of any other faith,” continued Col. Bond It Is not one of the entrance quali fications that a student be an Episco palian, but as a matter of fact it happens that more students are mem bers r>f~ti»e Episcopal church than of any other, more Episcopal churches are attended than the churches of any other one faith—because of thi^ fact and bdoause the Episcopal churches are most numerous of the Protestant churches in Charleston— and at least four members of the faculty are Episcopalians, while a fifth attends the Episcopal church regularly.” Col. Bond Is himself a vestryman of St. Paul’s Episcopal church, in Charleston. IN VIOLATION OF Dr, €J,- E. Smith, of porta Efforts by Agents of Swift to Sell Meats T^iat Had Been / Submerged in /Dirty Water for Two Days. A dispatch /rom Greenville to The State says jh a letter to Dr. C. F. Williams,/State health officer, Dr. C. E. Smith, of Greenville, meat and milk inspector, states that agents of Swif/ & Co. have endeavored to get bltja to pass the 16,000 pounds of recently condemned there on account of having been submerged in filthy water for 24 hours. Dr. Smith absolutely refuses to pass the con demned meat. In his letter to Dr. Williams be says: My idea is that they will keep it until they think it has blown over and then try to'-put it on our market. All the representatives of Swift have assured me that they are willing to do just what is right and what 1 demand, but I can not believe them, as they have tried every way to get me to reconsider and pass the meat, and when I positively refused to do To they refused to do anything and now they are criticising the city health department. They claim that the meat is all right and that the city health depart ment is a set of "boneheads," if you know what that is. I think the mat ter has hung fire long enough and should be disposed of in some man ner. If we have not thq authority to handle the situation I will write Dr. Melvin at Washington for advice. 1 think it would be a disgrace to the city and State if we can not pre vent this meat being used for food purposes. HIDES ON PASSES. Sensation Follows Revelations of Committee, A telegram from Tallahassee, Fla., says charges that many persons of prominence in Florida have accept ed passes on railroads in Flordin, contrary to the law, have been sub mitted to the house committee ap pointed to investigate the files of the States railroad commission.

Of Um» (ountry of the Armenian. Men Are Murdered, Women Mal treated and Carried to the Harems, Houses Hacked and Then Burned and Kami Animals Driven Off. Dispatches from Marash, AslaMc Turkey, say that most distressing account continue to be received there from the countryside of the Arme nian villages assailed by bands of Mohamedans, who, acting on the sup position that the Armenians were rising against government, were quick to strike the first blow.. Men were killed whenever found within reach of knife or bullet. Girls were often maltreated, and some of them were carried off to become the wives or slaves of rich men. Houses were ransacked and then burned. Farm animals were driven off and- small parties of horsemen rode through the country "cleaning up the Armenians.” The whole country is ruined by the destruction of the farms and the homes of the people, thousands of whom were killed by the blood-thirs ty Turks. Everything portable has been stolen and carried off by the thieving and murderous Turks. Families are completely brok en up, and it is estimated that at least one hundred thousand people have been murdered or carried off into captivity, which is worse than death. No one was spared. Even infants at the breast were torn to pieces by the demons, and women were reserved for a worse fate than death. Half of the stories of the horrible butcheries have not reached the outer world because the Turkish authorities refuse to let many of them pass the telegraph or postofflee. Zach McGee, the wide awake Washington correspondent of~~tke Columbia State, says it develop* now that the lumber lobby, which haa been operating with considerable energy during the present tariff-mak ing session of congress, has been sup ported most lavishly by the lumber manufacturers. An assessment was made on each sawmill in the various associations of $1 for each $1,000 feet of da|ly cut.—The lumhor manufactnreiwuf ^®*i*»T JacSeoi, Mtaa., the State of Oregon and Washington belonging to one particular associa tion were assessed $28,000, but so far they hare paid only $12,000, and they are being vigorously pressed to l>ay the rest. Some of the advocates of free lum ber here are declaring that the fail ure to pay the assessment is evi dence that the real pressure for pro tection on lumber is not so much from the sawmll^peopie as from the timber syndicates, who own mostVf the stumpage. There is plenty of money, how ever, for the lobby. It Is estimated that $100,000 was raised to main tain the special lobby here to try to keep the present rates of $2 a thou sand on rough lumber and the cor responding high rates on other grades. This does not Include the expens es of special delegations sent here by lumber organizations In various States and the expenses of individu al lumbermen who have come here for the purpose of influencing con gressmen from their own State. A number of lobbyists have been in and about the capital ever since last fall. Some weeks ago, while the bill was before the house, the lobbyists gave a porics of expensive dinners at the Willard hotel, to which they invited members of congress and oth ers whom they thought would he influential.
