Evangelist Kennedy told a large audience at a revival service in the First Methodist church last evening. In attacking Christian Science, Rev. Kennedy said the new doctrine denies the divinity of Christ and the doctrine, of God and sin, which is virtually denying salvation. Speaking of universalism, the evangelist used the "reductio ad absurdum" method, showing that saving every soul, regardless of its purity was out of harmony with the ordinary belief. Rev. Kennedy spoke especially to young people last evening and told the audience that people cannot depend solely on church membership to gain salvation, but that they must trust in Christ. The meeting yesterday attracted a hundred and fifty people, with a noticeable increase in the proportion of young folks. One more person came to the altar and was converted. After a rest today, when, no services are to be held. Rev. Kennedy will occupy the pulpit twice tomorrow, speaking in the evening on the story of the "handwriting on the wan." Mrs. H. D. Kennedy will preach Monday evening. CARNEGIE HAS GIVEN $222,000,000 AWAY (National News Association) NEW YORK.

It is a dramatic battle, this struggle of the state to send Mrs. Patterson to the gallows for the murder of her husband, Charles A. Patterson. Other women have faced charges of murder, but seldom in criminal history has any woman had to face so severe an ordeal as this girl, who had already lived a whole span of life, with its loves, its hates, its joys and its troubles, at an age when most girls are just getting their first dress with a train. Prosecutor Benson is merciless in his cross examination. He has ferreted to the very depths of the pretty prisoner's life. He has not overlooked one mis-step which she has made in her race through life. . to h, there seems Ui ing that cruel de mand: "Mrs. Patterson, the state must have your life in expiation for the life of your husband, which you took.

At Laredo from five to ten funerals were occurring daily before the authorities discovered the ruse which was being worked to transport arms from Texas into Mexico.

YEGGMEII ATTACKED STATION AGEfIT AT ECONOMY SATURDAY

Walter Snyder Gave Battle to the Robbers, but Was Knocked Unconscious with Revolver Butt. SHERIFF STEEN DID NOT GO TO SCENE Has No Transportation Fund and Is Not Legally Required to Answer Calls Without a Warrant. Owing to the failure of the county officials to acceDt a liberal internretation of the laws and the refusal of the majority of the men in Economy to answer the alarm of a telephone operatotr, two unknown men who made a murderous assault on C. & O. operator Walter Snyder at Economy, about 1 o'clock this morning, escaped. Since Snyder is rapidly recovering and his assailants were unable to carry out their intent to rob the station safe of its small amount of cash, many of the residents are today devoting their attention to determining the cause for the escape of the two men. Sheriff Remained Home. Sheriff Steen was informed by long distance telephone of the attack but he did not respond to the call. The sheriff, his deputies and the board of county commissioners have been quarreling over the question as to whether the sheriff, his deputies, or both should respond to any hurry up call, in an automobile hired at the expens of the sheriff or of the county. The sheriff claims that by a strict interpretation of the law he is not authorized to make an arrest unless he has a warrant or has actually viewed the felony or misdemeanor which was committed. He says that if be is to answer calls from the rural districts he must be transported at the cost of the county. The commissioners have informed , the official that except In cases of utmust emergency the county will not pay the expenses of tranaport-j lhfn'nernrte :a? plae wnrrnesummoned. The board members say they are not going to permit any ex--pense which the state board of ac counts may rule as illegal The sheriff takes the 'position that as he is not legally required to respond to calls unless he s given a warrant for arrests he will not do so If be is obliged to pay out of his own pocket the transportation expenses. Snyder Shows Nerve. When west bound freight train No. 73 passed through Economy this morning two men were seen to drop off by the operator Snyder, who, however, thought little of the incident until a few minutes later when, as he was stirring up the fire in the stove in the station waiting room, the door was broken open by the two men and he was, attacked. ' One of the men he felled with the poker, but the other, pulling his revolver, struck Snyder between the eyes with the butt end, knocking him unconscious. The man who was stunned by Snyder's blow quickly recovered and hastened away with hia. partner, when Dan Murphy, who was Bleeping in the station was aroused by the noise and appeared ln the waiting room. The last trace of the men was when a farmer saw them crossing the Martindale creek bridge early this morning walking toward Muncie. Murphy, with the help of the night telephone operator, was able to arouse the entire town and inform the men of the assault. A. I. Look and Link Morrison armed themselves and hurried to the station. The remaining male population who had been aroused, appeared on the streets after daybreak well armed, according to reports sent from Economy. "Had a bad cold,' or "wife wouldn't let me," were popular excuses today. CONNAUGHTS TO BE GUESTS OF TORONTO (National News Association) TORONTO, Ont., Nov. 25.

HATCHING A PLOT PEK1N, Nov. 25. Japan and Russia are secretly preparing to partition Manchuria between them with the consent of the Manchu dynasty in exchange for which they will take measures to preserve the remnants of the throne to the latter, according to rePrts tnat re causing intense excitement ln diplomatic circles here dayRussia's hand in the proceedings is believed to have been shown in her refusal to join with other powers In living up to the agreement to particl pate in the work of guarding and keeping open the railroad line from Pekin to the coast. Although hordes of Cossacks are swarming along the Chinese frontier in Eastern Siberia, Russia bases her refusal to participate in guarding the railroad upon the ground that she has no available troops. Another report is that secret pourparlors are proceeding in Tokio between Japanese statamen and Manchu emissaries whereby Japan expects to gain imperial permission to take independent action in the matter of territorial acquisition in China. HE LIKESJS WIFE But She Don't Like Him, Helmig Said.

"Don't you like your wife," asked the prosecutor. "Yes I like her and the girl, too, but they don't like me," was the answer. The prosecuting attorney said that Mrs. 'Helmig could not charge him with wife desertion If he left her. PLANKING TRACKS HAS BEEN SETTLED .Dissenting interpretations of the order of the board of public works to the officials of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad company relative to the planking of the ground between the company's tracks on North Third street have been amicably adjusted. Officials of the company' contended that they were instructed only to plank the outside of the tracks from North D street to the North Third street station. The board of works declared that the company was ordered not only to plank the ground as far from the tracks as the ties extended but to also plank It between the tracks. A copy of the letter sent to the company was used to solve the question, and it was ascertained that the board of works was right in its contention. The raidroad officials state that the boards order will be carried out JOHN BIGELOW, WAR MINISTER, IS 94 (National News Association) NEW YORK, Nov. 25.
