SCARCITY OF ' MINISTERS

THIS WAS ONE, OF THE'i "IMPORT- . ANT MATTERS UP FOR CONSIDERATIONNICHOLSON IN AN . ADDRESS. . The annual session of the committee on ministry and oversight of -the eighty-ninth annuaL.Yearly Meeting of Friends, which convenes tomorrow, met at lO o'clock this morning at the Bast Main Street Friend's Meeting house. The scarcity of ministers, the appointment of committees and the endorsement of the action of the Traverse City, Mich., Monthly and Quarter, ly Meeting in voting to send the Re . Franklin and Mary Moon Meredith of that city, to the London, Dublin, Norway and Denmark Yearly Meetings, were considered in this session. The numbers of gray headed men and women and ' the few young men apd women in, the meeting house this morning, probably suggested to the Rev. Truman Kenworthy, the pastorelect of the East Main Street Friends' meeting house, to make an earnest plea and careful defense of the "most responsible work of the Yearly Meeting the scarcity of ministers. This Is the question," he averred, "that must , have the earnest thought and careful analysis of the ministers and overseers. Have No Pastors. "It 13 a fact," he continued, "that twelve large meetings have no pastor3. The cause must be. found and we must be able in a measure, to satisfy these things. But we must be careful," ho declared, "that we do not crowd the women out. "We have often heard the remark, the poor Quaker minister.' In a large measure that is now so. The youn? people are told that it is a hard life and a rough road, but that is not altogether true. It is a place where we must be tested. We must 'keep out the men and women, however, who ar-3 J jn the ministry as a profession and a living." The substance of his talk was satisfactory to many of the ministers and . laymen as -expressions of assent wer5 spoken by several. Timothy Nicholson added the following brief comment: "It is also the duty of the elders and overseers" to lend the pastors their thorough support." " A committee of the following was appointed by the committee of minis- , ters and overseers this morning to assist the clerks during the Yearly Meeting: William M. Smith. Daniel Lawrence, Daisy Barr, Alice Lewis, A. J. RIdgeway and Albert Copeland. The committee on reappointment of officers of the committee of ministers and overseers recommended the renomination of Ancll E. Ratliff of Fairmount, Ind., is clerk and Emma Hedges of New Castle, as assistant clerk. The presiding clerk, Ancil . Ratlitf, v. read letters from the Traverse City, .4 Mich., Monthly and Quarterly Meeting requesting that the Yearly Meeting env dorse the attitude of Friends of Michigan and send the Rev. Franklin and , Mary Moon Meredith to the London, Dublin, Norway and Denmark Yearly 'Meetings. After; the reading of the letter Franklin and Mary Moon Meredith explained their attitude and their longing for a visit to these countries and the Yearly Meeting expressed its "unity and sympathy" with the re'v quest. IS READY FOR MILL Jack Johnson in Fine Fettle for The Coming Ketchel ' Battle. IS TRAINING VERY HARD (American News Service) San Francisco, Sept. 21. When Willus Britt and his man Stanley Ketchel arrive in town Wednesday, they wi!l find Jack Johnson, their next opponent almost in fighting condition. Johnson is allowing no moss to grow under his feet as is evidenced by the hard day's work he did In the gymnasium. It was given out today that Johnson's weight, when he goes into the ring; with Ketcheft, will be somewhere around 195 pounds. That the champion will not want for sparring partners was made plain yesterday. Sam Fitzpatrlck, who brought Johnson out of the bushes, was a visitor to his former charge's quarters and while there had his present protege, Frank Mantel, to act as a sparring mate. Already Johnson has two camp fellows, Joe Mills and Bob Armstrong. SERIES ARTIST RECITALS.

The grand jury, in its report to the court today, stated that it could not find that there had been any violations of the liquor laws in the county. The report on this subject is as follows: To the Honorable Henry C. Fox, Judge of the Wayne Circuit Court: The grand jury, impanelled on the 7th day of September, 1900, the same being the 113th judicial day of the April term, 1O0O, of this court, respectfully reports that it was in session seven days, and that during said time Investigated a large number of criminal offenses brought to its attention' and as a result of said investigation ' has found certain indictments which are returned herewith. No evidence, was brought to the grand jury upon which an indictment for alleged violations of the liquor laws of this state could be found. 1 If there have been any such violations, the evidence of the same was not brought to the attention of the prosecutor or the grand jury. Some slight rumors of said alleged violations of the liquor laws have been circulated, but no evidence to support an Indictment has F. AUGUSTUS HEINZE HAS BEEN EXONERATED F.

The grand jury was ready and willing at all times to hear all proper evidence of violations of these laws, as well as the violations of all other laws now in force, but the persons who are responsible for the circulation of said rumors evidently lacked the courage to tell what they knew ' about these violations.' if anything. The grand jury can not act on mere rumors; something more tangible than this must be brought to its attention in order to establish . that crime has, prpbabjy been committed. No names of persons who had probably violated these laws were presented and no facts from which such crime might be found to have been committed were produced. After inquiring Into the cases of persons imprisoned in the county Jail on criminal charges and into the cases of persons under bail in said county to answer to criminal charges, the grand jury took, up the matter of the condition and management of the. prisons and poor houses of this county, and herewith respectfully submits the results of its said investigations: SAW BURNING SHIP (American News Service) London, Sept. 21.
