Delegates Were Named to Inter-Church Council Board Of Missions Need Not Abandon Incorporation. The next session of the Five Years' meeting, the governing body of Friends In America, will not be held in Richmond, but goes to Indianapolis. This was decided at this .norning's session by the body of delegates, after the business committee of the meeting had made a report favoring Richmond. The present sessions of the body were to be brought to a termination late this afternoon. The meeting has contributed much to Quaker history, and action has been taken on several questions that have been the source of contention during the past, five years among tho yearly meetings composing the Five Years' body. Some of these questions have been decided definitely, while others are in the hands' of committeei and these will make a report at the next meeting in Indianapolis. Many of the delegates who attended the local meeting have returned to their homes. Richmond Turned Down. When the business committee reported that it favored Richmond as the next meeting place, a general discussion was arouse!. It was thought by Hfveral delegates that the "plum" should be passed around among other cities which were near the center of Quaker population. Indianapolis was particularly favored by many, and when a notion wasasked, it was moved t helfft the capital city as the next meetirg place. By , a large majority vote of the Jilof,at-s that city was selected. t Thi3 cai.ie as a disappointment to local Friends who hoped to keep the meeting in Richmond. Western yenriy mf feting delegates were particularly anxious that the sessions be held la Indianapolis, a city within tho limits of their own meeting. Offering Was Liberal. Treasurer Miles White of Baltimore, reported thst ?l.41S.."io was raised Saturday for the use of the various boards In carrying on their work for the next five years. "The donation was volun tary. The chairmen of the boards ' . were very much pleased with the offering. It is hignly probable, however, that .1 lmniber of delegates will increase . the amount to $.,O0O before leaving the city. On the matter of rx-officio members to the meeting, the business committed reported that it is better that no provision be made for these, for the present time at least. Neither will a permanent board for the Five Years' , -'meeting, such as ehsraeterizes yearly neeting organizations, be established. .

original articles of incorporation. After consultation with the Five Years meeting attorney, the conclusion was arrived at, that ai amendment drawn to the effect that the missionary board was a part of the meeting and that the latter ruled the , board, and attached to the original articles of incorporat'n by the secretary of state, would be all that is required of the missionary board. Such amendment has been drawn and was adopted by the meeting this morning. This will be attached lo the board's articles of incorporation immediately. The offi cers of the missionary board freely sanctioned the clause? in tho amend ment which takes from their, rulirg power. Prof. Elbert Russell's paper road before the meeting Saturday afternoon, which caused considerable stir, becau3 of M-vcrai statements more or less contrary to Friends' beliefs, was the subject of much dise-isrinn. It was private howev.r. Pro Russell said when approached on the Ftrbinct, that the great modern problems confronting the ''hurch, had to b" dealt with iooner or i.gter. and had to be presented for consideration before the Friends. For this reason he took issue on several of these, Saturday that they might receive such attention, and act as a beginning. Russell's Statement. Prof. Russell maintains that he said that the "Friends must have courage to tell the world that heaven and hell I are essentially states, not places," and not as he was quoted, that "heav en and hell are states not places." Prof. Russell maintains that the word

"essentially" gives an entirely differ- atiena tne Five Years meeting at the ent aspect. Notwithstanding the wide East Main Street Friends church, variance of many of the ideas express- Sunday 'his funeral was held at that ed in the paper with original Quaker Place. Eloquent tributes were paid to doctrines, the treatist was considered tlle man, both to his business and reone of the most ab'e that has been Hgious life, by President Robert L

read, denoting broad study and originality. Prof. Russell, by virtue of his position, stands as a pioneer for modern day Quakerism.

t PATHETIC SCEEE

IN THE CITY COURT John Hansche, Under Arresl For Drunkenness, Is Taken With Severe. Fit. WAS EFFECT OF WHISKEY. HANSCHE, A WELL KNOWN CHAR ACTER ABOUT TOWN, HAS BEEN COMPLETELY MASTERED B DRINK HABIT. One of the most pathetic of the heart tuching scenes which are frequently witnessed at the city court, took place this morning. While Officer Voge!song was testifying against John Hansche, up before Judge Converse on a charge of vagrancy, the unfortunate man was overcome with an acute attack of delirium tremens and fell writhing to the floor before the bar of justice, in the throes of what is commonly known as a "whiskey fit." Officers McNally and Winters promptly came to Hansche's rescue, holding him until the convulsion had subsided and then carrying him into an adjoining room. Prisoners, court attaches, policemen and onlookers gazed with fright and pity on the sufferings of the unfortunate Hansche. It wa some time before quiet had been restored out of the confusion. Early this morning Hanche walked into a Main street saloon and after taking a drink of whiskey, fell to the floor in a fit, his head striking a cuspidor with such violence that a deep gash was cut in it. After being removed to the city jail. Dr. F. VC. Krueger, city physician, sewed up the wound and completed covering the top part. of Hanche's head with bandages. When Hanche fell out of his chair in the city court his violent contact with the floor opened this wound and in a minute the bandages were stained with blood. So that Hansche might recover from the effects of his debauch, Judge Co-averse fined him $23 and costs. This means that for the ensuing thirty-five days Hanche will be cared for at the county jail. Hansche Is a well known character about town. He comes of a good family and was formerly an expressman. About fifteen or eighteen years ago he began drinking hard and it was not long before he had been completely mastered by the drink habit. After McNally had testified Officer Vogelsong was called to the stand. Just as Vogelsong was about to make his statement, Hansche fell to the floor in a fit. Hansche has frequently been arrested, principally on charges of drunk and vagrancy. The man has no home and sleeps wherever he can find a place to lay his head.

They were rushed u.iceremoni ously to headquarters vhere they were given little chance to talk. It develops that a detective in the employ of the Czar has been shadowing the Americans for more than two years. It is charged that Walling has been giving tlnanclnl aid to the revolutionists,but he was not arrested on this charge tonight. News Spreads Like Wildfire News of the arrest spread rapidly. The American Embassy took prompt measures to secure the release of the prisoners, but it3 efforts we:v of no avail. The members of the American "olony in the city are highly indignant, and are making an effort to secure the release of the captives. A friend of Mr. Walling succeeded 'n transmitting a cablegram to Indianapolis pleading with relatives to bring pressure to hear on the Ameri--an Embassy here, n id to try to interest President Roo.scvelt in tUelr ase. Mr. Walling has just returned to St. etersburg from attending the Social'st congresses in Germany and rance.

OZBO WRICK OIK Fl FALL Fl In Some Unknown Manner He Was Precipitated From Structure Near Elkhorn and His Neck Was Broken. WAS ON HIS WAY HOME FROM TRIP TO RICHMOND Wyrick Was Proprietor of a General Store at Smithfield South of This City Leaves A Wife and Family. Ozro Wyrick, forty-four years of age and a grocery keeper at Smithfield, which is near Abington, fell off the Elkhorn bridge about 7:30 o'clock Saturday night and was Instantly killed, his neck being broken. Wyrick leaves a wife and . a married daughter. Wyrick's body was found about nine o'c.ock by a man named Williams and Cyrus Beeson, who lives on a farm near the bridge. Williams was passing a ong the bridge when he lookins down into the creek bottom he saw the form of a man lying face downward. The body was stretched out on the shore wh'ls the face rested in the water. On the bridge stood a horse and wagon, one wheel being caught in the frame work of the bridge. The moonlight shining on the motionless figure in the creek bottom made a ghastly picture. Foul Play Suspected. Williams at first suspected that the man had met with foul play. He hurried to the Beeson farm and aroused Mr. Beeson. The two then went to wheie the body was and ou investigation Mr. Williams and Mr. LJeeson learned that the dead man was Ozro Wyrick, who is well known In the south part of the county ViU'ams and Beeson at once took the body to Smithfield where it wa3 clapcd in the Wyrick home. When the sad news of he r husband's violent death was brok. en to Mrs. Wyrick she was almost overcome by the shock. The fact that Wyrick's neck was broken convinced the coroner when he arrived that Wyrick had met his death by an accident, not by foul play. Cause Mere Speculation. Saturday Wyrick came to Richmond to buy a supply of groceries. He started for home about 6 o'clock. Just how the accident occurred is not known owing to the fact that no one witnessed it, but from the position in which the wagon was standing when discovered by Mr. Williams it is thought that the horse, whic'a i3 blind, unnoticed by Wyrick, owing to the darkness got too near the edge of the bridgeind that when one of the wheels caught in the frame work the sudden stop of the wagon threw Wyrick from his seat into the creek bottom, which is several feet below the bridge. Wyrick evidently aliehted on his head owing to the fact that his neck was broken. ACTION ON A DEATH. The Ladles" Auxiliary of St. Mary's Catholic church will meet Tuesday evening at 7:30 o'clock and take action on the death of Mrs. Mary Allen, of the Margaret Smith home.

Miss Clara Brown Narrowly

Escaped a Terrible Injury While Trying to Catch a Train at the Depot. BARELY PULLED OUT FROM UNDER WHEELS. Mayhew Chanced to Be Just At Hand and His Prompt And Cpol Action Was Responsible for the Escape. Miss Clara Brown of Covington, was saved Sunday morning at th ' local Pennsylvania station from a terrible death under the wheels of tha Chicago limited train by the prompt action of Station Master Clareuc Mayhew in pulling her from her perU lous position. Had he delayed or.o second In jerking the woman from the platform from which Bhe had evidently stepped. Miss Brown would have been crushed to death. A large number of horrified people watched the quick, cool-headed action on the ' part of Mr. Mayhew. Miss Brown wanted to take a train for Indianapolis. Vh?n the Chicago train, which leaves here at 11:20 In the morning, was pulling out of th station Miss Brown thought It was the Indianapolis train. At full speed she started after the departing train so that she could get on board. In' one hand she carried a small grip. As Miss Brown was running along tho platform, which is about a foot above the tracks, she reached out to crab one of the handles at the side of a car vestibule so that she could swing herself aboard. Limbs Across Track. As she did so ber feet slipped from the platform and she fell into th ' , space between the train and ' the platform, alighting in such a position that her limbs were across the tracic a short distance in front of the wheels on the forward truck of the rear car. Fortunately Station Master Mayhew happened to be standing just where Miss Brown fell from the platform, i Quick as a flash he reached down, ! grabbed the woman by the shoulders , and jerked her onto the platform Just j a fraction of a second before the car wheels reached the place 'where Miss Brown's body had rested. J After Miss Brown had been pulled onto the platform she was so orercome by fright that she fainted, and it was some time before she was re vived. Many people crowded about the woman as she lay unconscious on the platform and Mr. Mayhew was congratulated on his cool-headed rescue. After Mifs Brown had revived she was placed on an Indianapolis I train, none the worse for her terrible experience except the severe shoclc she sustained.
