According to report Miss Love was harassed with frequent notes and tele phone calls from an elusive but ardent admirer who lnsl*ted that he intended to marry her. KIs emissaries were said to have watched the Love bom© and been fired upon by Dr. Love and his wife. Miss Love Is a young girl who I? Just about to graduate from the Girls - High School. According to the detectives the whole story originated in a practical Joke played up:n Mias Love by some of her friends. This story seems borne out by the.fact that the parties to the Joke were thoroughly familiar with all that went on in the Love home. The sensation seems to have been entirely eliminated from the story.

Dr. Tvilej s subject cf the reformed Presbyterian Church was “A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches.’’ He dwelt at length upon the harm to the cotton seed industry that is work ed by adulteration and by the use of patent names. He referred to the value of the simpie name “Cotton Seed Oil,” and urged the crushers to do away with the patent designations and use the original. He spent some time discussing the commercial value of the product and advocated purity of pre parations without exception. He declared it to be a great food product. Nathaniel G. Fowler, Jr., of Bo?ton. who is the exploitation direct or of the association, delivered an in teresting address on “Cotton seed oil publicity,” calling attention to the ad vantages of publicity and urging in creased efforts in that direction.

All export trade in cotton seed pro ducts is for stock food purpose, -while t - -« domestic trade is mainly of a fer tilizer. | 'a'.iere was no radical change ma.de in the grading of cotton seed oil. Be cause of the unusually heavy rains I an year a large percentage of low grade oil than is usual resulted and the differences in quality were so great that members anticipated some radical change? in rules as regards oil might be necessary. The committee consid ered the question of establishing a new grade, but finally, after a great deal of discussion, it was agreed that last year’s conditions were unusual and that no radical changes are neces sary. The following changes in the grading of cotton seed meals were re commended: Choice meal on an 8 per cent ammonia basis remains un changed. Extra prime meal on a 7% per cent bat-ls becomes prime meal. Pr’me meal on a 7 per cent ammonia basis becomes good meal. Owing to the lateness of the hour when the reading of the report was concluded, action was deferred until tomorrow.

After the cloud of argument and iscussion on the ar ticles of agreement had cleared away the situation seemed to stand thus: A substitute had been submitted by the chairman of both the minority and majority of the special committee on articles of agreement, Rev. J. S. Ly ons, of Louisville,"and F. T. Clasgow, oF'Lexington. Va., - proposing to take the place of both previous reports which had been arguid so <-xtenslvely amending the articles of agreement - .by striking out the last clause In article four, substituting the tvords “for their consideration” for the last clause in article six, and changing tho words two thirds” in article 17, to “all." | This substitute would take away all judiciary powers from the proposed counsel, making it simply advisory, and would require the consent of all the churches before any'amendments might be made. Neal L. Anderson surprised the assembly by vigorously attacking such a plan and just <ts ad- tbe substitute as follr>?? - s: Resolved that the assembly adopt the articles of agreement and enter this council and at the same time instruct her commissioners to use all honorable means to have the amendment made to the articles of agreement which re main on the substitute. He explained that the d f fference be tween .the amendment and the substi tute Is that while the substitute pro vides that the articles be adopted and the represenatives of the assembly be authorized to enroll as members of the council as soon as the council shall approve of the amendments, Mr. Dobyns’ amendment provides that the articles be adopted and the represent atives enroll before the amendments are approved and attempt to secure their approval. The Rev. Dr. W. M. McPheeters, of Columbia. 'Venn., also gave notice of an amendment to the substitute by which the presbyteries would be over- tured by the general assembly re- commend’ng a change in tfie constitu- t'on of the church giving the assembly power to form an alliance by articles of agreements as changed by the sub stitute, with other churches for the purpose of arbitration and spiritual unty, and that the Presbyteries send up overtures on the subject at the next meeting of the assembly, thus postponing action a year to satisfy the constitutional objections to the adoption of the articles of agreement. NORFOLK, Va.. May 22.—While no resolution of any nature was adopted at the first day’s session of the North American Baptist convention, held at the Jamestown Exposition today, from the addresses made by members of all three organizations within the asso ciation a strong sentiment is revealed against a religious consolidation of the Southern, Northern and national con ventions, the latter being the negro church, but a general consolidation for concerted work Is enthusiastically favored. There are 6,000 people at tending the convention. Contrary to original plans two sessions were held. At the first, which began at 2 o’clock in the aftprnoon, the principal address was made by Edwin William Stevens, of Missouri, the president of the con vention. At the evening session An drew Jackson Montague, former Gov ernor of Virginia, delivered the formal address of - welcome and the response was made by Rev. H. M. King, pastor of the First Baptist Church, Provi dence R. I. A concerted action developed today to bring to America in 1910 the world’s Baptist alliance, which met in London in 1S05. On behalf of Philadelphia in vitations to meet in that city were ex tended to the alliance through the North American convention by Rev. A. J. Rowland, secretary of the American Baptist Publication Society, and Rev. Orlando T. T. StewarL bishop of Phil adelphia. Foreign and homo mission ary work and the progress being made Jn it were the subjects of short ad dresses by Rev. Thomas Barbour, of Boston, assistant to Rev. H. C. Mabie, who is now in China, celebrating tho centennial of Baptist missions in that country, and Rev. R. J. Willingham, corresponding secretary of the South ern Baptist convention's foreign mis sion hoard. Rev. C. E. Morris, representing the national Baptist convention, declared one-third of the negro race is made up of Baptists, with 16 000 churches, 15.000 preachers and 2 200,000 mem bers. Rev. H. L. Morehouse, of New York, and Rev. B. D. Gray, of Nash ville who are the corresponding sec retaries, respectively, of the Northern and Southern conventions, spoke brief ly or. church progress. At the night session a general dis cussion followed the addresses of Mr. Montague and Rev. Dr. Stewart on the question, “To what extent may a Christian denomination properly en gage in a public evil.” FREDERICK BURNHAM RESIGNED UNDER FIRE NEW YORK, May 22.—Frederick Burnham, indicted for grand larceny and forgery, tendered his resignation from the presidency of the Mutual Re serve Life Insurance Society today. The resignation was accepted and Archibald C. Haynes formerly gen eral agent for the Equitable Life As surance Society, was elected to suc ceed Mr. Burnham. At the same meeting George D. resignation as NEW YORK, May 22.—The national association of manufacturers of the United States went on record today as in favor of a revision of the tariff at the earliest opportunity and the nego tiation of more reciprocity treaties. A lively debate preceded the voto which was upon the acceptance of the report of the committee on tariff and recipro city. The committee based its recommen dations on a poll of the three thousand members of the association. Of tho total number replying 55 per cent de clared for immediate revision, while 20 per cent expressed a “hands off sen timent.” Eight per cent believed that the timo for revision had not arrived and the other 17 per cent expressed indiffer ence or made non-committal answers. An effort to table the report was de feated, and it was adopted as reported. The mass of resolutions adopted by the association on this, the closing day of its convention, included endorse ment of the open shop, industrial edu cation, the improvement of the consu lar service, commendation of the na tional river and harbor congress, urg ing the President to withhold his ap proval of the new German agreement until the testimony of practical pro ducers. could be obtained regarding the effects upon domestic labor and indus try. likely to follow the customs ad ministrative changes in favor of “ex port values” and opposition to all Il legal combinations, either of capital or labor. This last resolution was given added force ,by the convention's de clared determination to raise $1,300,000 to carry out' a campaign of education concerning dictatorial combinations. Of this campaign of education, Pres ident Van Cleave, following today’s session, so id. “We shall endeavor to assist in edu cating the public in industrial right eousness.
