MR. PARISH TO BE TRIED

CENTRAL BAPTIST ASSOCIATION COINCIL HELD TO DC LEGAL MlnMtrr Want Reporters at Session Xext Tuesday Trouble Started Over Choir. The council of the Central Indiana Baptist Association will meet Tuesday morning to hear the evidence in the prosecution of Frederick G. Parish, pastor of the Southstreet Baptist Church, charged with mistreating his wife and with conduct ill-fitting a preacher of the gospel. The council met yesterday morning, but adjourned for a week in consideration that no specific charges had been filed against Mr. Parish and he, therefore, had no ODDortunlty to collect evidence for his defense. He refuseft iu rrcosmze me rignt or tne council to try his case unless this right were ceded to him, and the council upheld his contention. There are fifteen member churches In the association and each wa3 expected to send two delegates to the council. But twentyfive delegates were present. There were no delegates from Haughville, West Indianapolis or Acton. It was rumored that these churches had refused to send delegates. The auditorium of the church was full when the council convened, the caso being of particular interest to the South Side. The hum of whispered gossip filled the place. W. T. Stott, president of Franklin College, was elected moderator of the council. The first point to be decided was whether or not the council had been regularly called. Before the discussion began. It was concluded that the council should retire to a rear room. Tho audience was left to itself for an hour. When the delegates returned It was announced that they had decided the council had been regularly called. It was then that Mr. Parish's friends announced he would not recognize the council unless he were furnished with a written statement of the specific charges against hlra and were given a week to prepare for the trial. He did not know, his friends said, what alleged offense ho was to be tried for. This was felt to bo fair and the council adjourned Jor a week. When it reconvenes it will hear the witnesses In the case and will refer the testimony gathered to the church, with a recommendation, possibly. One bent on inquiry, lato yesterday afternoon, called at the home of Evan H. Bonham. No. S17 Fletcher avenue, who has taken an active part in the Parish case. The inquirer found a circle of eight or ten women and two men In session. Before he had an opportunity to ask any questions it was made known to him that Mrs. Parish was present by several of the women exclaiming quickly that they would advise her to make no statement to a newspaper reporter. Mrs. Parish declared: "I will not bo intervi owed in any sense." The Inquirer said he had no design on Mrs. Parish's personal knowledge of the church trouble, and only wanted to discover. If ha might, where Mr. Parish could be found. Ilie reply came that that was hardly the place to expect to find Mr. Parish. Mrs. Parish s attorney was asked whether or not she would appear against her husband. He replied that she would testify against him. "If we are allowed to go into his past record." he said, -it will not take long for the council to decide the case." J. A. Dynes talked to the Journal as Mr. Parish a personal representative. Mr. Parish, he said, was satisfied to let the council investigate the charges against him. and would mako no further contention as to the Irregularity of the call for the council if a written statement of the charges against him were furnished to him within the week. He opposed the rule of the council that newspaper reporters should not be admitted to its sessions. He was innocent and sought that the investigation should be public, it was a public matter. His prosecutors were the ones who desired that the inquiry be secret. He could refute attempts to blemish his past record. "Both Mr. Parish and tho young woman whose name has been dragged into this affair are Innocent." said Mr. Dynes. "Mr. Parish was not more intimately acquainted with her than with the other young women of his congregation. It is true that ho met her at a summer resort last summer. She was there with friends. Mrs. Parish had gone to the East on a visit. Mr. Parish was at the resort but a few hours and only had a few words of ronvprsnflnn with th vnnnc woman in question and the friends who were i utr. i uo noi Know wnat tne trouoie between Mr. Parish and his wife is. It is charged that he slapnrt her face and drove her away from home. That is false, so far as I know. The young woman in question has been persecuted by tho faction opposed to Mr. Parlh. It is a fact this faction employed 'detectives' to watch Mr. Parish and the young woman." "What is the true cause of this trouble?" Mr. Dynes was asked. "It is just this," he replied. "Mr. Parish believed that the choir, which was large, was overshadowing the rest of the service and he reduced it to a quartet. This caused a factional bitterness and the, charges against him Is the outcome." "Is that the reason this young woman has been connected with the case?" "Yes. that is absolutely the only reason." "If Mr. Parish be exonerated of the charges what will be the result?" "There are 125 members of the church in the faction against Mr. Parish and 96 members in his faction, but among the opposing faction are many members who pay little into the church. If Mr. Parish be vindicated we will stand by him and he will continue as pastor of the church. Of course, it is to be expected that the other faction will leave the church. Mr. Parish has built up the church congregation in the year he has been hero and has done a great deal to raise tho debt. His friends are determined that he Khali have a fair trial and will attempt to have it an open one." WALLACE VS. HOWARD. The- Former Vludlcnte the Courage and Conduct of Indiana. Soldiers. General Wallace, in his reading on the night of Feb. 22, mentioned only one of the two regiments from Indiana engaged In the battle of Euena Vista. The Third Indiana Regiment was there, under command of James II. Lane, afterward senator from Kansas, and lost heavily In killed and wcunded. holding Us position unshaken during the fight, and when it moved, moved forward. Eyewitnesses say that no other regiment did quite as well as that. It is to bo hoped that General Howard will correct his history. Tho following extract from' a chapter in the autobiography of General Wallace vindicates tho Indiana troops fully and positively: "Finally the strangest thing In the whole strange affair is the length of time the slander has tctn permitted to run. Indeed, It is still running. Every little while a new book appears with a revival of the story, without the least extenuation or change. Thus, in a recent publication entitled "General Taylor." by Oliver Otis Howard, major general. U. S. A.. Page I9. It Is said: The (Second Indiana) regiment encountered a terrific hall from the front, also the plunging lire of thoe Mexican elght-pounde rs to tht-lrr left. and. if we may trust to faultfinders anions' them, they received confuting orders from their own colon I. All this was more than the regiment could bear, and it went to p'ects and fled from the field.' The dlslngenuousnes's of tho writer is remarkable, while th broad charge in the last part of the description is simply false. "In another p.ace In the book, speaking of the engagement with Juvcra. General Howard credits the repulse to 'Colonel Davis, with his Mlssisslppians and other troops. Colonel May, with his dragoons, and the artillery. Indiana L shut out of mention; and yet tho Stvond Indiana, rallied and in distinct organization, under its own flag, with Its lieutenant colonel In command, was .n place on the flank of the Miis5ipplans. assisting in that wonderful gallantry. Uy 'other troojs' he may have meant the Second Indiana. But why not have honestly named them? "Still more flagrantly wanton Is General Howard's summary of the conduct of the commands generally Page 217): 'Arkansas. Kentucky. Illinois, Mississippi, Texas and some Indiana men had fought hard all this dreadful day. Some Imliana men! Oliver Otis Howard, beside txing a gentleman. 1 a regular, unusually possessed of Chrtstlar sentiments: circumstances to encourage a hope that he has a conscience, and that It can be get to rooting out the prejudice which

besets and belittles his otherwise noble nature. In that hope I take the liberty of presenting him nn itemized table of the casualties of the battle, compiled from official reports, which seem to be dearer to him than the solemn findings of military courts formally ordered, but unhappily constituted of volunteer officers: Miss- AggreCorps. Killed. Wounded, lng. gate. General staff .... 13.. 4 1st Dragoons 7 .. 7 2d Dragoons 2 2 3d Artillery 1 22 2 23 4th Artillery 5 21 .. 26 Mississippi Rifles 40 (A 2 S3 Kentucky Cav... 27 37 .. 61 Arkansas Cav.... 17 22 4 53 2d Kentucky Cav. 44 57 1 102 1st Illinois Reg... 23 IS .. 47 2d Illinois Reg... 43 73 3 128 2d Indiana 32 71 4 1j7 3d Indiana 9 W .. 65 Texas Vol 14 2 7 23 Totals 237 43 23 71$ "So. from this table. General Howard Is strictly right. There were some Indiana men who fought hard Indeed, there were pome wounded, others actually killed. And If he is very susceptible of astonishment, he J-.ad better not read the table; It might be disagreeable, seeing his book 13 now beyond recall, to learn that the aggregate of killed and wounded In the Second Indiana exceeds the like aggregate in any other regiment engaged, except only the Second Illinois that it is In excess even of the First Mississippi. Aye, most truly, Oliver Otis Howard, there must have been some Indiana men who fought hard!" The Second Regiment was placed In an untenable posit' jn; too far to the front, and, unsupported, bore for a time the attack of ten Mexicans to one American. MORE FOR VAPOR LIGHTS WORKS BOARD 'WANTS TO RAISE THE PRICE 1.23 A LAMP. One Councilman Refuses to Sign Report for This Latest Gouge on Taxpayers.

The Council committee on contracts and franchises met last night to consider the contract made by the Board of Works with the Sun Vapor Light Company to supply two hundred lights for one year. The price stipulated is $16.25 a light. Last year the prico was $15 a year. Mr. Colter explained that last year the company thought it was to have opposition and bid 'too low." Two years ago the price paid was $17, he said; and therefore the price asked this year was "reasonable." Mr. Little refused to sign the majority of the committee's report in favor of the contract. He said he did not see why the prico this year should be higher than that of last year. All the members of tho committee except Mr. Scanlon signed a report favoring a contract to lay a switch of the Belt Railroad across an alley near the "Y" cast of tho city. Vehicle Tax Slow. Beginning to-day, an owner of a vehicle which is not licensed is liable to arrest and fine. Yesterday was the last day of grace. The controller's office announces that it has Issued $S uck) less vehicle licenses so far this year than it did during the similar period last year. MARION CLUB ELECTION.

THE FORGED AFFIDAVIT

ALLEGED DOCUMENT IS DEXXIS BEACH CASE M1SSIXG. Jury Xovr Has the Case of Meek-Street Grocer Receiver for Box Factory Asked. Dennis Beach, a Meek-street grocery keeper, wa-j tried In the Criminal Court yesterday on the charge of subornation of perjury. Mrs. Anna Fitzgerald, who, it Is claimed, was associated with Beach In his alleged scheme of fraud, Is under Indictment for perjury. The main prosecuting witness against Beach was Secretary Welch, of the Celtic Building and Loan Association. Beach borrowed from this association, and he was accused of getting Mrs. Fitzgerald to make a false affidavit in order to assist him In negotiating the loan. The woman. It Is charged, made a sworn statement that her daughter, Mary Fitzgerald, aged twelve, was dead, which statement, if made, was false. Mrs. Fitzgerald is a widow residing in the neighborhood of the Beach grocery. Beach, until he was sent to Jail, had been a boarder in her home for three years. According to 4he evidence brought out by the state, Beach called at ihe office of the Celtic Building and Loan Association In September, 1S07, and talked with Secretary Welch about a loan he desired to procure. He said ho wanted to purchase the property of Mrs. Anna Fitzgerald on Meek street, and explained that there was about ??j0 of incumbrance on the property. He thought. If he could borrow $0, he could make the trade with Mrs. Fitzgerald. Secretary Welch talked favorably with Beach and decided to loan the money with mortgage security. The secretary said It would be necessary to look over the records and find out how the title to the property stood. Ir looking up the history of the real estate Secretary Welch discovered that the real estate described by Beach was owned Jointly by Anna and Mary Fitzgerald. The latter was the daughter. Secretary Welch testified yesterday that when he Informed Beach that Mrs. Fitzgerald was not the exclusive owner of the property and that she held It Jointly with her daughter Mary, tho grocer replied that Mary Fitzgerald was dead. The secretary then said that the mother would have to make an affidavit" to this. Mr. Welch testified that a few days later Beach and Mrs. Fitzgerald came to his office and presented an affidavit which stated that Mary Fitzgerald was dead, and giving the date of her demise. It was then arranged to have Attorney Hovey get up an abstract of title. This the attorney did in accordance with instructions given him. In prosecuting the case the state did not have tho original affidavit to exhibit to the Jury, but introduced a copy of tho one alleged to have been sworn to by Mrs. Fitzgerald. The state made a point of the fact that the original document had mysteriously disappeared, and when last seen was In the hands of Dennis Beach. Attorney Hovey testified that Beach was In his office when he went to work on the abstract. He sfdd the uncompleted abstract, with the affidavit attached, was lying on his table and was picked up by Beach. The attorney remarked to Beach that there would have to be another affidavit attached before the abstract was complete. Beach replied: "Oh. there's too many things attached to th!s now." The attorney said Beach walked about the room for several minutes with the abstract in his possession, and finally laid It down on the table. Attorney Hovey. without looking at It. placed It in a drawer. Wren next he looked at the document Mrs. Fitzgerald's affidavit was gone. Both Beach and Mrs. Fitzgerald yesterday denied that such an affidavit was ever in existence. They declared that nothing was said about Mary Fitzgerald's alleged death when they talked to Secretary Welch. Mrs. Fitzgerald said her oldest daughter was called "May." She admitted that the girl was baptized "Mary." but tho family had fallen Into the way cf calling hor "May." The case went to the Jury without argument at 5 o'clock yesterday evening. A verdict had not been reached at midnight, and It was said there was no probability of an agreement during the night. BOX CO 31 PAX Y AFFAIIIS. One of the Partner Asks for a Recelvershlp. William B. Ransom has applied to the Superior Court to have the Indiana Box Company thrown into the hands of a receiver. He complains of William and Benjamin Stuckenberg, who. with himself, control the box company. The corporation was organized in February, 1SHS, and the old Indianapolis Cabinet Company property was leased. The Wire-bound Box Company was also to occupy a part of the building, and there was an agreement by which both concerns were to share iri, the profits on some articles manufactured. The plaintiff avers that In June, 1S9. he served notice on. his partners that he def3lred to withdraw from the partnership, and offered to sell his interest for $o',00. They refused to purcliase and he ceased to have anything further to do with tho business, although retaining his interest. In November. lsiS, it is averred, the Wire-bound Box Company fell into litigation with Jason H. Greenstreet, the owner of a patent on one of the articles the company wes manufacturing, which litigation is still in progress. The plaintiff thinks the business In which he Is interested should be closed out, and ho wants a receiver appointed to take charge of it. Ransom has also sued his partners for ?1.20o for money alleged to be due him for services as superintendent and manager of the Indiana Box Company. Adjusted Out of Court. The suit of Henry A. Mansfield against the State Bank of Indiana, the city of Evansville and the trustees of the Evansville water works has been dismissed in Room 1, Superior Court. Some time ago, when it was decided to improve the water works at Evansville Mansfield was Invited to submit a bid. He did so and In a short time he was informed that the contract had been awarded to him at $K-J. He declined to accept tho contract, saying he had made no such bid. He had submitted two bids, he claimed, but both were higher. In submitting his bids Mansfield had put up a substantial check drawn on the Siate Bank as a guarantee that he would carry out his contract, and immediately after declining to do the work he brought eult to enjoin the holders of the check from getting it cashed. The bank was named as a party defendant. The matter was adjusted out of court and the case was dismissed yesterday. Baker Get S?1T0 Damage. Yesterday morning Peter J.

About Seventy-Five Exhibits Work by Gaslight. The fifth annual convention of the Indiana Association of Photographers opened yesterday at Tomlinson Hall. The exhibits of members of the association are many, numbering about seventy-five. There are also quite a number of exhibits by photographers from outside Indiana. The morning was taken up in arranging pictures on large screens placed in the hall. In tho afternoon, Mayor Taggart, in a short address, gave welcome to the visitors, and response by F. R. Barrows followed. The reports of several officers of the association followed, after which Prof. Otto Walter Beck, of the Cincinnati Art Academy, gave a very entertaining and instructive talk on "Composition Laws Tertalnlng to Photographic Portraiture." During his remarks, Irofessor Beck took occasion to very highly compliment the association and Its members on the work of each. The evening was taken up with demonstrations by F. Schanz, of Fort Wayne, and considerable interest was taken in this work by those present. Sittings were had, negatives made and developed, and proofs taken by gaslight, showing how the advance in science had made It possible for the photographer to do his work without the aid of sunlight, which was, for many years, supposed to be absolutely necessary in photographic work. This morning the convention will open In business session, receiving reports of committees, and appointing new ones, after which Professor Beck will again appear before the association, criticising the work and explaining and suggesting points of improvement. In the afternoon there will be a short business meeting, followed by a talk on art by W. 11. Potter, of Indianapolis, talcing the place of George Smith, of Cincinnati, who is not able to attend. Members of tho association are quite enthusiastic over its work, and their interest is evidenced by the number and character of the questions aked, and also by the fact that they take timo and trouble to explain different features of their work to either members and to visitors. XV. O. Nicely, of Bloomington, secretary of the association, says that this is tho most successful meeting in its history, and that the membership is rapidly increasing, a. photographers are learning that it i3 to their advantage to become connected with the association, as it is a "clearing house" for new ideas In their business. The following is a complete list of the exhibitors: Amateurs Rev. J. L. Leeper, Fort Wayne; Earl D. French, Marion; G. A. J. Brown, Anderson; C. M. Kelley, Greencastle; A. M.
