CREEK, WEDNESDAY, MAY 28, 1924. THE ENQUIRER AND EVENING NEWS 7 TEMPERATURE AT 72 TODAY: ALL FORGIVEN Battle Creek Blossoms Out in Summer Attire After Weeks Of Rain and Cold. STRAW HATS NOT UNUSUAL Farmers Who Planted Early Are Happy, Others Face a Problem in Crops. All the mean things Battle Creek has said about the weather the damp, cold. cloudy, windy, rainy weather that couldn't seem to realize that June and roses were near, were taken back today when a sample of summer warmth was dished up.
At 2 o'clock this afternoon the temperature was 72 degrees. It seemed extremely warm but 1 glance at the records revealed that a year ago today the temperature went to a maximum of 79 degrees. The first bathing suit of the season was sold in Battle Creek yeserday; a small bov was seen to poke his bare toe in Goguac lake this morning to test the temperature of the water: tennis courts are calling their hundreds and on every hand 19 seen the result of three days of warming weather following the cold days preceding them. Those farmers who were fortunate in getting oats and seeding in during the month of April are looking over fences and smiling at the prospect for a great crop of this horse and breakfast food and at the 'catch' of the seeding. It looks good.
Those farmers who either because their oats ground was low or mucky or because of other reasons. failed to get their oats and seeding in during April and before the dull, damp and cold weather of May are scratching heads in an effort to summon up decision to sow or plant some other product of the soil in fields originally intended for oats. May, according to those who have lived the years with an eye to the weather. has been about the most dilatory and procrastinating of all spring months from time beyond recall. Those who believe and variation of the moon for the brand of weather served, hand out this axiom: "A late Lent means a late spring." Last week, this latter class said the weather would break for the better.
meaning warmer and clearer after the moon, changed from 'full' to quarter'. This happened Sunday. Whether the change of the moon had anything to do with it or not, the weather changed and right now the growing mildness of temperatures both day and night appears to be here. Gardeners, who have planted beans several times this spring and found them rotting in the too-damp and too-cold soil and some whose seeed potatoes went back to the dirt of the earth without sprouting, ire now attempting to plant again. Furs are being worn by women, which is said to say the weather is warm.
Straw hats are becoming less and less conspicious on streets. Side-curtains are being unbuckled from automobiles. Glass jars, employed to cover tender garden plants from prospective frosts being gathered and cleaned in prospect for fruit which appears not to have been damaged in the least during those nights when frost came. The year, so far, has been wet. January had 1.27 inches of rainfall; February March 2.01; April 2.68; May (so far) 2.84.
Which means that during the first two months of spring a total of more than five and a half inches of rain fell. P. S. The weatherman is singing that once familiar refrain.

Henderson, who for years has been Theodore, in charge of this district of the Methodist Episcopal church, has been transferred to Cincinnati by the church conference at Springfield, Mass.
Bishop Henderson will be replaced in this district by Bishop Thomas Nicholson, who has had charge of the Chicago one. The change came as the result of an order which shifted the residences of almost half of the bishops of the church. All of the five newly elected bishops were sent to foreign stations. Boston lost Bishop Edwin H. Hughes to Chicago, which lost Bishop Thomas Nicholson to Detroit.
Bishop Henderson was moved from Detroit to Cincinnati, and Bishop William F. Anderson from Cincinnati to Boston. Bishop Adna W. Leonard was shifted from San Francisco to Buffalo, Bishop William Burt of the latter city having been retired on account of age. Bishop Henderson is well known in Battle Creek, having been here on many occasions to preach in the churches of the city.

Fosdick Case Up (Br the Associated Press) Grand Rapids, May 28. The final day of the 136th general assembly of the Presbyterian church in the United States of America found what generally is regarded as one of the paramount issues of the convention, the Fosdick case, still to be settled. The controversy, both sides admitted, has resolved itself into a clean cut question between the fundamentalists of which Moderator Clarence E. Macartney, D. of Philadelphia and Vice Moderator William Jennings Bryan are the leaders, and the modernists.
The fight centers the New York presbytery for its alleged defiance of the assembly through the continued appearance in the pulpit of the First church, New York, of Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick, a Baptist, who is accused of heretical utterances. The Philadelphia presbytery of which Dr. Macartney is a representative, is leading the attack. POLLASKY DEAD.
Unique Figure in Politics Had Visited Battle Creek Several Times. Marcus Pollasky, a frequent visitor in Battle Creek, and man with a vivid history which was the result of his dream, is dead. He passed away in Chicago but will be buried in Detroit where he is quite widely known as a picturesque Ag. ure. A dispatch from Detroit states that he will be buried tomorrow morning at 10:30 from the Hamilton chapel, Cass and Alexandria avenues.
Marcus Pollasky was a kind of Don Quixote at least he met with as much trouble from the world in which he went about blindly breaking laws while trying to do good. He came prominently into notice in a suit he brought against the late Edward Doyle. At the trial he entertained the jury for two hours and was nonsuited in the end. He stirred the city of Detroit by offers connected with a rapid transit system which fell through. Other visionary schemes vame later none which bore fruit.
Then he was arrested for writing a bad check but was soon released after conducting a series of startling "revivals" in the jail. In his connection with "running for congressman he was in Battle Creek "off and on." At the funeral of Theodore Roosevelt Marcus occupied a principal place. The veterans of Detroit were enthusiastic for him on account of his public speeches supporting the bonus. Again he ran for congressman again to meet with failure. Since the last failure he has been retired in Chicago making visits to Detrot infrequently.

The administration regards the question of regulating immigration as a domestic one, but at the same time desires that in the application of that principle as little offense as possible be given to friendly governments. Consequently high officials here are deeply regretful that a sequence of events accompanying enactment of the new law have developed what Tokio appears to regard as a serious issue.
There is every hope that this situation will be softened appreciably when the full and mature attitude of the Japanese government becomes known here. BROOKLYN MAN LEADS W. H.

Nichols Financed First Trip of Professor Brigham to Amazon Basin Where Many Specimens Were Secured. "It was Mr. Nichols who first made the museum possible," said E. M. Brigham, curator of the school museum of natural history, this morning.
"This was just one among the many things he did, and few remembered about it. But there would be no museum and I would not be here if it had not been for the first substantial gift of his, which was really the start." Mr. Brigham was asked to tell the story, which promised to be an interesting one, as the Battle Creek school museum of natural history has grown to be a really important great value, something quite institution, in collections of richa unique as an adjunct to a public school system. "Well, at the time Mr. Nichols made that gift there was nothing that could have been called a museum.
But somebody had gotten a few geological specimens from Professor Winchell at Ann Arbor and placed them in a little room in the old number one building. At that time I. L. Stone was superintendent of schools. "I was interested, and added a collection I had been making as a boy, about 1,500 specimens.
And that year I went to the University of Michigan. At the end of the year Dr. Steer of the department of zoology invited me to accompany him on an expendition to the basin of the "Mr. Nichols, who was then president of the board of education, hearing of this, offered to meet the expenses of the trip. And I went.
"It was the first expedition of the kind I ever made. I brought back large collections in the fields of zoology, geology and archaeology, and that was the real start of the museum. It led to its regular establishment as a department of the school work. The material gathered then has entered into the foundation of our marine, zoological and archaelogoical departments. "And if it had not been for the interest Mr.
Nichols took and for that first substantial gift that he made, I would not have been here now." Mr. Nichols always retained his interest in the museum, and the two often recalled that incident which brought about the establishment of this unique Battle Creek institution. Mr. Brigham has made three subsequent expeditions to South America and many others to little frequented parts the world. It was on his second trip to South America, to which this first trip led, that Mr.
Brigham discovered that now famous Hoatzin bird, which has four feet. And Mr. Nichols always took great pleasure in remembering how he had been instrumental in laying the foundations out of which grew Battle Creek's school museum of natural history.

Health, peace, happiness and prosperity for each and every person in this growing city. In regard to my making a wish will say that I made one some years ago, and the wish has come true.
