TWO FRIENDS ORGE HON FOR MISSIONARY LABOR Delegates at the American Friends Foreign Mission Board Oppose Denominational Division in Work. LEADERS IN CHURCH NOW REALIZE FAULT Spirit of Co-operation and Fraternity Should Be Cultivated by All Church Workers, It Is Stated. 'At the opening executive session of the American Friends Board of Foreign Missions on Wednesday at the 8outh Eighth Street Friends' church, financial matters relating to the missionary work to be conducted in Cuba, Mexico, Alaska, and Africa and very probably Jamaica, which last named field likely will he taken under the wing of the American Board, were considered but not formally passed upon. It Is estimated that the Held work In Mexico, Cuba, and Alaska, will necessitate the expenditure of approximately $33,000, while the sum , needed for the work in Africa Is expected to be approximately $5,500. The other missionary fields, Including Syria, Japan, China; India are under the supervision of the various yearly .meetings and consequently the expenditures in these fields were not reported at the session of the Amrican board. However, most of the Yearly Meetings contribute to the work under the jurisdiction of the American Friends' Foreign Mission board, including the following Yearly Meeings: New England, New York, Baltimore, North Carolina, Wilmington, Indiana, Western, Iowa, Kansas, Oregon, California and Nebraska. All of the Yearly Meetings, Including in addition to the above named, Philadelphia, Canada and Ohio, contribute to the work being conducted in Africa. Tsll of Co-opsration. On Tuesday evening at the conference session the subject pf co-opera-tinn nnvMD an nrnmarnnr rmiivn In the" foreign missionary field was discussed by Mrs. Lucy Hill Binford of Greenfield, and Francis A. Wright, of Kansas City, Mo. The speakers declared that hereafter the Friends would co-operate as much as possible with other churches. The American Board has adopted as a part of its manual the following; "Church leaders, are coming to feel that we hare no right to perpetuate our demonlnational divisions on foreign soil. The future ideal is one church for every land. Hence all our work should be done in such a way s to make the ideal the real. Naturally the organization at the f rst will be after our own order. But peculiarities should not be over emphasized. The spirit of fraternity with their churches and their workers should be cultivated. "There should be no proselyting of converts or workers. We should ipreach the gospel according to our own convictions 'of truth,, but always with the clear conviction that God accepts as members of His family those of other convictions. Therefore we should cultivate fellowship with all whom he accepts. Fellowship is Vital. Our differences are not necessarily so. "Those postlve doctrines which as a 'Christian body we have always emphasised the Baptism with the Holy jSpirit. the perpetual Spiritual Communion, the un-Chrlstlan character of , (War and Oaths, are now being generally received by Christians and can je strongly emphasized anywhere. On (fche question of the ordinances which so unfortunately divides the body of Christ, let the print-Hole of Oalations 5; ft, be emphasized. In the moving of converts from place to place, give and receive letters of commendation o fellowship and church membership. Foster every effort for better mutual understanding the harmonizing of methods of dealing with native converts and workers and closer co-operation-Never receive members of other churches without knowing they have been dismissed in good standing."

A FOUNTAIN CITY MAN IS MURDERED Sumner Baldwin Killed by Uvella, Ga., Lawyer in a Dispute Over a Debt. (Palladium Special) FOUNTAIN CITY, Ind.. Oct. 18. Sumner Baldwin, 27, son of the late Mason Baldwin, who lived on a farm west of here, was murdered Monday at a hotel at Uvella, Georgia, by a lawyer, from whom he was trying to collect a bill. Announcement received here today of the tragedy does not give the name of Baldwin's murderer. Baldwin was the agent for a collecting company and for a time was located at Marion, Indiana. A short time ago he was transferred to Montgomery Alabama, and was accompanied there by "his "wife and three children. It is understood that the man who killed Baldwin had owed a bill for some time to a client of the collecting agency for which Baldwin was working, and that the company sent Baldwin to Uvella to make the collection. The lawyer, angered by Baldwin's insistence on a prompt settlement, suddenly drew a revolver and Bhot the young man to death. Sumner Baldwin was born and raised in New Garden township and lived with his father until about seven years ago, at which time his father died. Baldwin's mother, a few years after the death of her husband married William H. Lloyd and now lives at Rome City, Indiana. HIMSELF ABUSED Says Councilman Evans' Criticism of Him Was Not a Fair One. Homer H. Hammond, president of the board of works believes that Councilman Evans gave him a "raw deal" at council meeting Monday evening, when the latter declared that Hammond is not a man fit for the job as head of the board and said that he should be removed. Mr. Hammond stat ed today that he is doing his duties with as much efficiency as any one can perform them. Mr. Evains also declared in council that Hammond owes taxes for the past ten years, and said that no city offi cial should be allowed to remain in ofnee when he evades paying his taxes. In speaking of Mr. Evans" charges today Mr. Hammond made no reference to this. "I do not believe the public will look at the matter in the way Mr. Evans put it Monday evening," said Mr. Hammond today. "It was not the place to bring such a matter up and make such charges against me. The reason I did not answer Evans' charges was be cause the mayor ruled the councilman out of order. I feel that I am doing my work just as well as any one could do it. am at the board of works office until 9 or 10 o'clock in the morning and then I drive over the city and attend to the complaints turned into the board. In the afternoon it is the same thing. It is impossible to walk over the city, as it is growing all the time and the complaints are mado by residents in all parts of the city. Sometimes it is impossible to have things done Immediately, as people do not always comply with the board's orders." Owing to the fact, Mr. Hammond says, that councilmen do not stop long enough to reason things out, and to look after complaints themselves to ascertain if the board bad attended to them, much unfair criticism of the board is made by- the councilmen.

THROW PROSECUTION ON THEJEFENSIVE Move Made by McNamara's Counsel Would Remove Talesman McKee. (National News Association) LOS ANGELES, Oct. 18. The defense challenged talesman George W. McKee for cause when he admitted his ! conviction that the Times building was dynamited, shortly after the open- ; ing of today's session of the McNaj mara trial. District Attorney Horton objected and the same fight as waged i over talesman Nelson was started again. The jurors whom the defense has accepted are J. W. Roberts, real estate dealer; R. F. Pain, carpenter; H. Y. Quakenbush, expressman; A. R. Mcintosh, baker; and C. W. Adams, grocer. That Aatanaa mnriA A -1avI1- taonew move wnen arew a cnauepge against H. Y. Quackenbush, whom it afterward developed had a prejudice against capital punishment, was freely commented on and it was believed that in passing some of the men, the defense had forced the Btate into a position where it must challenge and where the argument waged over the acceptability of T. Nelson might be renewed by the state, this time on the defensive. That the state may also have to use some of its precious ten premptory challenges in ridding the jury box of some of the men that have been passed by the defense, was also freely predicted before the session began today. The progress made by the defense was surprising. Chief Counsel Clarence Darrow took personal charge of the examination and asked most of the questions and the talesmen were required to answer yesterday and he expected to continue the examination today. That there is another struggle going on between the opposing counsel beside the open fight waged, in the court room, became apparent when it was learned that the retention of John Birmingham an officer of the California powder works, will give the defense the aid of powerful expert testimony when the time comes to refute the case which it is believed the state will make in its effort to show that the Times building was blown up by dynamite. ' That the state has been equally busy in the work of perfecting the evidence that is to be presented was demonstrated when it. was learned that the ICdl UUJWl Ul .1011 Wl mi. m.

PURE FOOD BUREAU SUGGESTION NOT A FEASIBLE PROJECT High School Faculty Members Say They Have Not Enough Time to Conduct the Work as Proposed. IT WOULD REQUIRE ONE MAN FOR WORK Students Not Well Enough Advanced, they Say, to Be Capable of Making AnalysisWhat Neff Says. The establishment of a pure food bureau in the Richmond High School is too big an undertaking to be considered with existing conditions at the local institution. This was the opinion expressed this morning by members of the high school faculty, when questioned on the practicability of putting into operation here a bureau under the direction of the high school chemical department, which could analyze all foods of doubtful purity. The opinion of the instructors questioned was that the only way such a result could be achieved was to secure a man especially for the purpose, as the high school teachers have not the time to devote to such work. The agitation resulted from an editorial yesterday evening in the "Palladium," which told of the invaluable work that food bureaus were doing for the health of the country, and mentioned especially one bureau which is conducted by the chemical department in a Massachusetts secondary school, and which is greatly improving the health of the community. Where Opposition Lies. The main point brought out by the local instructors today was that such a bureau would take up too much time of the instructors who would have to do the work. Principal Isaac Neff said that the entire work would, of course, fall upon a few teachers, for students were not well enough advanced in chemical work to conduct examinations of foods properly, and that such work if done by sturts or to the general public. 6dbr -of the chemical denartrrtent of the school asserted that the man in charge of a "pure food" bureau could vry easily create many enetmies. . .Principal Neff said that the only Solution of the question, if it was desired to have the bureau under the .supervision of the school, was to engage a man who could devote all of jhis time to the work. This method, according to the principal, would insure the city expert analysis and Would not place too heavy a burden W. the chemistry department. . Prof. Franklin S. Lamar, head of 'the high school department of chemistry, declined to make a statement regarding the feasibility of a pure food bureau in the school, but added that it would require a lot of extra work for the teachers if conducted by them alone, and could hardly be intrusted to the pupils. m m krone Delegate to National Red Men's Meeting. Fred Krone, a member of the clothing firm of Krone and Kennedy, was, Tuesday afternoon at the session of the Bed Men's Great Council of Indiana, elected representative to the national convention. Mr. Krone is past Grand Sachem of the Indiana order. The session on Tuesday was largely given over to the election of officers and consideration of a report to spend $300,000 for the construction of a state home and hotel in Indianapolis. The officers elected include: Great Sachem George W. Harper, Madison. Great Senior Sagamore Roy Emig, Columbus. Great Junior Sagamore To be chosen today.

SANGUINARY FIGHT TOOK PLACE TODAY AT HANKOW. CHINA

Rebel Army at Daybreak Suddenly Attacks the Imperial Troops, but Finally Forced to Retire. REBEL FIELD GUNS OPEN ON WARSHIPS Chinese Cruisers Reply to the Fire; Their Shells Screaming Over Foreign Section of City. (National News Association) PEKIN, Oct. 18. Machine guns were planted in the palace enclosure today to protect the imperial family from a possible uprising. SANGUINARY BATTLE. HANKOW, Oct. 18. A sanguinary battle occurred today between the rebel forces and imperial troops aided by a fleet of warships anchored off the foreign concessions. The imperial troops wer outnumbered five to one and were taken by surprise but fought stubbornly. The rebel artillery, mostly field guns, opened on fleet, but the shells from these light guns did little damage to ships. Shell fire from the fleet endangered the foreign concessions and shipping. The foreign warships landed marines for the protection of life and property of foreigners. Heavy loss in killed and wounded on both sides. The battle didn't end decisively for either side, although the rebeles were compelled to retreat because their ammunition gave out. They retired in orderly fashion to Wu Chung, on the opposite side of Yang The Kiang river. The rebel leaders declared that they would renew the attack as soon as they got a fresh supply of ammunition. General Yin Chang of the Imperial forces strengthened his outposts with artillery to prevent the rebels from crossing the river. Slept on Its Aim for orders' had been Issued for a. general advance at dawn. At day break the rebel troops started up the Yang Tse Kiang river toward the encampment of the imperial troops. Skirmish lines were thrown out and these soon engaged the outposts of the government forces. The imperial sentries opened fire on the advancing host, alarming their camp. Springing into battle formation, the imperial soldiers took their stations on the slopes which stretch upward from the Yang Tse Kiang. The rebel artillerymen drew up their guns on the slopes of a promontory on the north bank of the river. As the Chinese war fleet was anchored off the foreign concessions it was necessary to fire over the roofs of the residents and shops of the foreign residents. There , was grave danger of sending shells into the American, British, Russian, Japanese, German and other foreign ships which were stretched out in a long line in the middle of the river. Many of the ar tillerymen in the rebel ranks were de serters from the royal army. The en gagement on land was fought near the eastern limits of the foreign concessions. Both armies drawn up in battle formation, advanced within easy range, then fired volley after volley. Both were supported by light artil lery. At the moment ' these dispatches were sent the battle was raging furiously and the roar of artillery and small arms was deafening. The red cross organization erected temporary hospitals on the ground occupied by the foreign concessions. Through a sulphurous cloud of smoke which surged upward in billows from the theater of action, the red- while and blue standard of the rebel army can be seen at intervals on the heights behind the city. The rebels struck a shattering blow today by taking the imperial forces by surprise. . The imperial forces had expected to begin the attack by a joint bombardment of the city by warships and field forces on Saturday. Orders were telegraphed north to rush at double quick speed the imperial re inforcements which are on the way from Pekin. GOV. POTHBER ASKS FOR ANOTHER TERM (National News Association) PROVIDENCE, R.
