taken for granted that the investiga

Under the old tariff no duty
was levied on uncut / or

In addition to this, the big

first.’’
Ssys He Winked at Her.
"I told him I didn’t want to ‘see

It had a lot of money in It. He
looked at it significantly and then
looked at me. When he looked at me
he winked. As he winked he aaid:
How about it ?’
"I instantly told him 1 was a nice
girl."
Here the witness stopped her state
ment. Coroner Donehoo asked her
sharply;
"Didn't you say anything else?”
"Yes, I did! I told him to go to
h—1! and walked out of his office."
Thomas Kilackstock, who said that
he was employed at the factory about

asked me one day to come into his
office, saying that he wanted to talk
to me He tried to close the door, but
1 wouldn’t let him He got too fa
milial by getting so dose to me. He
also put his hands on me.
Q Where did he put his hands.’
A He barely touched my breast. He

Q. Did he try further familiarities?
— A. Yes.
Q When did this happen?—A. Two
years ago.
Q What did you tell him when you
left his employ?—A. I just quit, tell

ward to with keen interest, hut when
he was called to the stand in the
afternoon, he merely answered addi
tional questions as to his move
ments on the day of the crime and
failed to add materially to the evi
dence in hand.
He appeared pale and haggard from
his imprisonment, but he replied to
all of the questions clearly and
showed no hesitation or apparent
fear. He was asked:
Testimony of Frank.

GOES TO PREACH REFORM

Consolidation of Four Branches
To Be Considered in Gath

COLUMBUS*. GA . May ft \\ n
Jailer Layfield of Muscoge Coun
ty searched an Atlanta neg o
minister, who came to the jail to make
a reform talk to the prisoners, he
found a big loaded pistol in his pock
et. The negro was locked up He will
face Judge Gilbert of the Superior
Court next week.
Preparations are virtually com
pleted to-day for the great Presby
terian convention to he held in At
lanta beginning May 15. For the first
time in the history of Presbyterian
ism in Arqerica representatives from
its four branches will gather in joint
assembly.
From May 15 to May 22 more than
5,000 visiting Presbyterians will he
the city’s guests. Of this number
1.500 will he regularly appointed com
missioner:-. constituting the largest
religious assemblage ever held in the
South. More than 700 representatives
of the Presbyterian Church, IT. S. A.,
or Northern Division, 500 from the
Presbyterian Church, U. S., or South
ern Division; 300 from the United
Presbyterian and 25 special repre
sentatives from the Associate Re
formed Churches will comprise the
assemblies.
Atlanta has thrown open her homes
to the visitors, all denominations
uniting in entertaining the church
representatives who come from ev
ery State in the Union, Porto Rico.
Hawaii and Panama. A number of
prominent churchmen from Canada
also are expected. The commission
ers are chosen, one-half from the
clergy and the other half from the
laity.
The\ constitute the governing body
of the church and are selected large
ly because of their prominence and
their activity in church work.
Church Union Considered.
Southern Presbyterians will he es
pecially interested in the discussions
looking to a union between the United
and the Southern visions. Two com
mittees were appointed last year, one
from each of the branches, to confer
on a possible basis of union. Their
reports will he submitted. It is said
the committees have reached an
agreement and it is generally believed
that the assemblies will act favorably
on their reports. Details of the
agreement have not been published,
but it is believed that they will prove
acceptable to both bodies.
While the Associate Reformed
branch of the church will not hold
a regular conference here, prominent
representatives will be in attendance
as special commissioners. Their
synod met in December, but it is
probable that an adjourned session
will be held.
A feature of the meeting here, car
rying with it perhaps the most wide
spread interest, will be a possible ef
fort -to unite tin* Northern and South
ern ^ranches of the church. Unor
ganized endeavor has been made dur
ing several years past to bring about
the union, but with no further resul+s
than that churchmen have been
aroused on the subject. The joint
meeting here is regarded by repre
sentative Presbyterians as a most
auspicious occasion for the matter to
be thrashed out and a union effected.
No such opportunity has ever offered
itself, as the assemblies hHve always
met in w idely separated cities, at sep
arate times.
Union Seminary Fight.
Of considerable interest, particular
ly to the Northern branch of the
church, will be the effort to bring
Union Theological Seminary back into
the fold. The sixteen delegates from
New York, however, were elected on
the pledge that they would fight to
maintain the present status of the
seminary. Charges of extravagance
and usurpation of authority against
the Board of Home Missions of the
Northern Church will be investigate 1.
Rev. Joseph L WtSRver. D.D., of Rocky
Ford, Colo., it is understood, has pre
ferred the charges. Dr. William Ful
