THE GREAT WORK OF PRESBYTEHIAHS

The State Sunday School Committee Met Yesterday at Winona Lake. " RECORD OF THE PAST YEAR MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH AIE PUTTING THEIR HANDS INTO THEIR POCKETS AND AIDING IN THE CAUSE. Publishers' Pressl Winona Lake. Ind., Aug. IS The Presbyterian Sunday School committee of Indiana met here today with a number of workers from all parts of the Ktate to discuss methods of jmshing the campaign of the coming winter. The meeting is under the direction of the Rev. I. N. Ilouser, of Connerfiville, one of the committee, tnen, and other members who are preBont are: The He v. It. II. Dunaway, of GreeiiKbtirg, state chairman; the Rev. George Knox, of Indianapolis, chairman of the Vlncennes Presbytery; the Rev. Chas. T. Richards, of Columbus, representing the Indianapolis Presbytery, and the Rev. J. P. Fowler, of M uncle. A number of undergraduates of Presbyterian seminaries have been at work in the state this summer under the direction of the committee, and Ut tomorrow's meeting steps will be taken to add a third field; worker for next winter, the three to give their ffforts to Sunday school and other resbyterian development in Indiana twelve months in the year. The Sunday school committee intends to organize new schools in open fields and expand those that are already organized. To Push- the Work. A part of the scheme to push the Sunday school work of the church is fleveloping through the training Ichool for Sunday school teachers and brganlzers which is now in session here. A large number of superintendents and teachers from the Presbyterian schools of Indiana are students In the training school, and will tukJ homo with them n great fund ot knowledge which they have obtained from eminent authorities who have been giving them ideas here. At present the organization in this Itate is opening up new lines by combining the home mission, the evanj felislic and Sunday school work under one leadership, and the Rev. Mr. Knox is chairman of the combined movement. The step is being taken to savo money, to reduce the number Df men employed and to concentrate the three reports. Under the old methods of operation these three departments had separate organization and three forces of men. The combination of the three means only one machine. Illinois, Michigan and some Other states, have taken up this triple combination idea. All the 'Cumberland churches of Indiana will be gathered into the Presbyterian organization this fall, and the newer Sunday school, evangelistic Und home mission work will at once be extended to them by the state committee. Work of the Past Year. Tho minutes of the Presbyterian asBambly will in a short time be ready for distribution in published form, and Mr. Knox said the volumo will make a splendid showing as it applies to Indiana. In the last year, he said, tho Presbyterian Sunday schools had a membership of 40,000. There are 3:r churches in the state. Some of them have three or four mission schools There are 50,000 members of the church in Indiana, over 5,000 adding their names to the rolls in the last year. Tho Presbyterians of Indiana are flred with the kind of spirit that causes them to go into their pockets and bring out money to carry on their work. It Is a great church organization to back its enterprises with financial support. In the last year Indiana Presbyterians gave their pennies and bant notes to the amount, of $40,000 or more for foreign missions. They Invested $25,000 in Sunday school work and raised as much moro for the aid of Presbyterian colleges, for students preparing for the ministry and other educational work. In addition over $r00,000 was raised for congregational support. All told. Indiana Presbyterians subscribed at least $030,000. It was a good year for church building, too, and some fine structures were erected at Peru. Marlon, Huntington and Anderson. Including the construction funds, the sum of about $1,000,000 went out of Presbyterian pockets in Indiana during the twelve months for the various causes of the church. The signs indicate very large crowds of church workers and other religious ieople at the Winona Iible conference, which opens next Sunday. It will be the great outdoor church meeting of the summer in the middle west, and ministers who are to speak ns well as people who will hear them nro now arriving.

Wayne county farmers used considerable prison made binder twine this season in the wheat harvest and next year even greater quantities will be used. James D. Reid, warden of the State prison at Michigan City, is more than pleased with the results of his venture in prison-made binder twine. Half a million pounds put out and not a pound returned as faulty is a record that Mr. Reid is certainly proud of. The manufacture of twine by the prisoners this year was an experiment and he put it out on a guarantee that it would be taken back if not good. The twine was sold at 2 to 3 cents bolow the price of other makes of standard twines and the farmers took advantage of the low price, many sec tions of the country organizing clubs of farmers who bought together. About 70 men were employed this season in the twine shop. Warden Reid says that he expects to keep right on making twine and storing it for next season. The income to the state from the sale of twine was about $40,000 this season. SMUGGLED SYRIANS With Sore Eyes Across Mexican Line Into United States. Washington, Aug. IS. Discovery was made by James R. Dunn, immigration inspector-in-charge at St. Louis, of wholesale smuggling of immigrants from Mexico into the United States. The immigrants were barred by the law from entering the I'nited States because of trachoma, a contagious disease of the eyes. Officials of the immigration service are engaged in locating the immigrants with a view to their capture and deportation. The case is interesting and extraordinary. A party of about 50 Syrians applied for passage to the United States at Naples, Italy. Every one ot them was found to be afflicted with trachoma, and the steamship company refused to accept them for passage to this country. They were informed that they could go to Mexico and then "work their way" into the United States. On their arrival in Mexico they scattered over the country for awhile, but eventually reached th? border near Laredo. Tex. They were smuggled across the river above Laredo, the smugglers receiving $12 a head. The Syrians were pcddlars and began immediately to ply their vocation in this country, going from place to place, thus becoming separated. RAILWAY DEAL Two Trunk Lines Between San Francisco and Portland. San Francisco. Aug. IS. The Southern Pacific officials paid $1,000,000 to close a deal made five or six weeks ago by which the Southern Pacific conies into possession of the Coos Bay, Roseberg and Eastern railway, in southeastern Oregon. The transaction is one of the biggest dears since the fire affecting San Francisco capitalists. It means a distinct and pronounced development of the Harriman plana to have two trunk lines between San Francisco and Portland, the same as there is now between this city and Los Angeles

THE SCRAMBLE WAS CONTINUED Excitement Again Holds Sway on New York Stock Exchange. PACIFICS ARE DEMANDED BROKERS WHO APPARENTLY WERE UNDER ORDERS, BUY UNLIMITED AMOUNTS OTHER STOCKS GO UPWARD ALSO. Publishers' Press New York, Aug. 18. Friday's wiic. scenes on the stock exchange were repeated Saturday. The galleries were crowded with spectators attracted by reports of Fridays excitement, due to the unexpected amount of dividends declared on Union Pacific and Southern Pacific. These two stocka continued to make sensational fluctuations. The whole market was affected in swipathy. Trices advanced buoyantly from 1 to 3 points on a buying demand, such as has not been witnessed in tho stock market since the bull period of April, 1901. Brokers apparently had orders to buy unlimited amounts ot Union Pacific and Southern Pacific and blocks of thousands of shares and even of tens of thousands of shares were taen at any price demanded by the sellers. Effervescent boiling up ol prices in those two stock resulted. Running sales of 20,000 shares ot Union Pacific were made at once at IS 1 Vse to 1S5 and 35,000 shares of Southern Pacific at Sit to 91. Higii prices for these stocks Friday were 1793i for Union Pacific and 89 for Southern Pacific. The fury of buying continued after the opening, prices ran off from time to time, while room traders were taking their quick profits, but the uplift was resumed. Pennsylvania was second only to the Pacifies in activity and buoyancy. During the second hour Reading came into prominence and was rushed up over four points on an almost unlim ited buying movement. A statement issued from the executive offices of the Union Pacific Rail road company, giving details of the manner in which Union Pacific and Southern Pacific dividends were declared and made public. The statement follows: "The board of directors of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific met Wednesday and authorized action upon dividends by the executive committees. The committees, however, did not meet until 3 p. m. Thursday, and find notice of the declaration of the dividends were delivered to the secretary of the stock exchange before 10 a. m. Friday." Mr. Hellen, assistant secretary of the Union Pacific, said in addition there had been criticism of the action of the committee in not announcins the divider-! action after the me?ting.i Thursday. He said this would have given an advantage to the London stock rnaiket by giving it the first benefit of the news, and that it was considered fair to save this advantage for the New York stock market by withholding the announcement until Friday mornins.

Line in Order to Lighten the Financial Burden Now Carried Pere Marquette Lease to be Dropped. Rumors are again thick as to the probable outcome of the C. C. & L. and C. H. & I), tangle. A Chicago dispatch says: The Morgan interests are said to be making progress in solving tne C. H. & D. problem. The intention is said to be to get rid of the Chicago, Cincinnati & Louisville, then if the Pere Marquette can be relieved of the C. C. & L. and the attendant burden of bonded debt, the value of the Pere Marquette stock, now held by the C. H. & D. will be greatly enhanced. Then if the latter road is relieved of the costly lease of the Pere Marquette and can sell its holdings in that road to advantage, its own stock would have a much higher value. ATTORNEY HUGHES Will Not Enter Contest For Gubernatorial Nomination. , New York, Aug. 18. Timothy L. Woodruff of Brooklyn states that if Governor Higgins is a candidate for renomination for governpr of New York Charles E. Hughes will not enter a contest for the nomination. Mr. Woodruff said that Mr. Hughes would not be a party to any factional strife. His proposed nomination by ex-Governor Odell was merely an expedient of the opponents of Governor Higgins. Mr. Woodruff continued: "1 think that the president is as friendly to Mr. Higgins as to any one. He would not be in favor of Hughes if Governor Higgins were a candidate for the renomination I feel sure." Girl Cowed an Autoist. Columbus, Ind., Aug. IS. A revolver in the hands of a 16-year-old girl brought a reckless autoist to time and made him stop his machine in the road while the young woman got her frightened horse under control and drove around the motor car to a place of safety. Miss Margaret Green of Taylor was the heroine of the adventure, but the name of the man she subdued was not exposed. Consuls Appointed. Oyster Ba-y, L. I., Aug. 18.

EXHAUSTIVE WORK Bf STATISTICIAN

Figures Which Show Condition of Municipal Light and Water Plants. SURPRISING RESULTS. MUCH OTHER INFORMATION RELATIVE TO AFFAIRS CF INDIANA CITIES WILL BE CONTAINED IN FORTHCOMING BOOK. The forthcoming report of the Iniiana bureau of stati.-iics will deal with economic questions more in detail than t. r before in its history. There will v exhaustive chapters on the receipts aud expeiidit u: es of fit- j ics and towns, salaries of officers. bounded and floating debt, tax rate ; anil assessments ami other phases of local government which will give the student a correct history of all matters relating to fiscal affairs. For the first time since the bureau was organized it has made a "thorough investigation of water works and electric light plants and the cost to cities and towns were furnished by municipally owned plants and private corporations. There are eighty-four cities in the state and forty-nine of these own and operate their own water works, thirty-three are supplied by systems owned by private capital and two have no water works. The average cost in tho forty-nine cities in which the plants are owned by the municipalities is $ 1 ."",.;:', per year and in thirtythree cities where water is supplied by private capital the cost, averages $10,2(5(1 per year. Of thes:- cities thirty-two own their own electric plants, and forty-two are lighted by private capital. The average cost to the first named cities is $10,010 per year and to the cities lighted under contract with private owners the cost averages $10,9(16. While, therefore, the cost of .lighting the streets is less in cities owned by the municipalities the cost of water hydrants in the same cities is a great deal more.

The Whitewater Valley Baptist Association closed a two days' session at Connersville yesterday afternoon. Delegates were present from seven of the eight churches comprising the Association.
