SPENCER PASTOR SAFE DESPITE THREAT LETTER Young Baptist Minister Conducts Service on Date Set' for Leaving. By Times Special SPENCER, Ind.. Aug. 14.—Unharmed despite a threat in a letter that he must be out of Spencer by Aug. 13, the Rev. F. D. McFadden, 29, Baptist pastor, is resting today after conducting a service at his church throughout Monday night. The letter, received a month ago, declared that unless the pastor left, “the imps of hell” would join him in singing his “last farewell song.” More than fifty of his pastoral and other friends from Indiana and Kentucky attended the Monday night service, praising him as a minister and a man. The Rev. Mr. McFadden championed a group of younger members of his church against some older members who opposed him and this is believed to have caused the threat letter. HEART UNHURT IN FALLS Doctor Denies Accidents Cause Cardiac Diseases. By Science Service WASHINGTON, Aug. 14. —The man with heart disease, except in very advanced stages, need not be afraid that an accident, either a minor one such as tripping over the rug or a major one in which he falls or is thrown, will affect the function of his heart, causing increased weakness or failure. Dr. W. I. Clark of Worcester, Mass., reports that as a rule accidents do not affect a diseased heart, and there does not seem to be any special type of accident which is invariably followed by heart failure. Certain exceptions do occur in which after an accident the heart may show signs of failure which persists and progresses. These cases are found especially among older workers who have heart trouble or who are on the verge of heart failure anyway. EX-CONVICT HELD HERE Fugitive From Many. States Identified by Bertillon Data. Bertillon measurements taken Monday disclosed that police are holding a man wanted in a. half dozen States for various “con” game charges.

Washington St. He has a record of five years at Illinois State penitentiary, Joliet, 111., and is wanted in Virginia, Pennsylvania and other States, police said.
