FIGHTING THRIFT
Mrs, W. H, Felton Declares Cot
ton Schedule of Underwood
Bill Will Injure South.
WASHINGTON, May 21.—Mrs. W
H. Felton, of Georgia author, lec
turer and widow of a former Demo
cratic Congressman, is here to pro
test against the enactment of the Un
derwood tariff bill. If given an op
portunity. Mrs. Felton will appear be
fore a sub-committee of the Senate
Finance Committee in charge of the
cotton schedule of the Underwood
measure.
"1 do not want to intrude,” said
Mr*. Felton, "hut if given an oppor
tunity I would like to tell how this
hill will hurt the South and the State.
I am against my Democratic people,
so far as the cotton schedule of the
proposed tariff law is concerned, and
there are other schedules subject to
criticism
"The cotton mills have been a God
send to the South, almost from the
reconstruction days. They have given
employment to thousands of our peo
ple. I have lived among them, have
.seen the operatives at work, have
known of their past and present con
ditions, and I am not speaking from
hearsay. I am 78 years of age. my
husband was a former member of the
Ways and Means Committee, and al!
my life I have been in touch with
public and political affairs. My hon
est judgment is that the proposed tar
iff bill is going to bring injury to the
South. If I am afforded a chance. 1
would like to tell the Senate's com
mittee how we feel about the cotton
industry.
"The cotton manufacturers all
through the South, in the Carolinaa
and in Georgia, are in a pessimistic
frame of mind. They met recently al
Columbus and denounced the Under
wood rates.
"My prediction is that ‘‘his bill will
first result in the curtailment of ad
ditional investments by capitalists
Then our Southern cotu a mills will
begin to run on 'part tine.’
"I am opposed to child '.abor in the
obnoxious sense of the word,” contin
ued Mrs. Felton, "but there are many
children in our Southern mills who
are better situated and better cared
for to-day than if they were running
the streets or out on the farm, min
gling with bad companions.”

DENVER. May 21.—Oscar C. Herd-
ner. whose house was burned three
weeks ago, was able to move into its
successor as the result of the efforts
of the members of Pine Camp, 8063.
Modern Woodmen of America.
When misfortune overtook Herdner,
the members of the camp decided to
replace his loss by doing the work
themselves for nothing.
Accordingly. 25 workmen assembled,
among them carpenters, masons,
bricklayers, plasterers and painters.
They labored steadily, putting to
gether the lumber and brick which
Herdner had assembled, and at night
fall a six-room dwelling, complete,
in every detail, stood where ther**
was only a foundation and the ashes
of Herdner's' former home.

terious "Richard Doe.” who for nearly
four y.-irs has 1 •* * n ir. the Hospital

unable to tell hi'- name or identity,

of J. C. Svvendsen and Ralph Wheel-
ock. members of the State Board of
Control, who returned from Roches
ter to-day.
Roe's case is to be taken up with
the Navy Department in an attempt
to discover the man's identity.
"1 asked the man to write his name."
said Mr. Svvendsen. "and he put down
the initials .I C. B. He also was abl?
to write the date he left San Fran
cisco. May 27. 1907. to return to his
position in the navy at Annapolis.
"Although partly paralyzed, he is
able to walk about, and. despite his
inability to sneak or express himself,
he seems to be rational in every way
and looks like an intelligent man.”
The State has interested itself also
in the attempt to identify the man.
HUSBAND FORCED WIFE TO
WALK IN STOCKING FEET
•BOSTON. May 21.—"Ms husband
was so irritable that he made his
mother-in-law and myself take off
our shoes and walk about the house
in our stockings when he was reading
the paper." said Mrs. Alice M. Pike,
of Cambridge, in the Superior Court,
where her former husband,. Frank
Pike, was trying to have her divorce
decree modified so that he might have
the custody of their eleven-year-old
son, Theodore. Mrs. Pike secured her
divorce on the ground of confirmed
habits of intoxication.
Mr Pike testified that although his
wife had divorced him on the ground
of intoxication, he had never been
drunk in his life.
FULLY DEVELOPED CHILD
BORN, WEIGHS 7 1-4 OUNCES
MATTOON. ILL.. May 21 A baby,
fully developed and weighing only
7 1-4 ounces, was born on Sunday to
Mr. and Mrs H. Russel! The child
was one of twins. The other onf died.
This child is sard by physicians to be
the smallest fully developed child that |
ever lived after birth.
Atlanta physicians believe, from I
I such information ns they have read j
: in the newspapers, that B. Sanders
[ Walker, of Macon, will die.
The almost unparalleled "nerve" of
I the man who took a bichloride of
j mercury tablet, mistaking it for a
headache remedy, is all that has kept
him alive the last week, but this will
not suffice to restore him to health.
Macon physicians who treated Mr.
Walker are highly praised by Atlanta
members oF the fraternity, who think
it presumptuous to say what should or
should not have been done and de
cline to express an opinion on the
outcome of the case except with the
qualification that they are not famil
iar with all the facts.
Transplanting Is Opposed.
Even should Walker recover, which
the Atlanta physicians proclaim un
reasonable. his blood and nerves
might suffer from toxic poison and
his lower limbs would probably be
paralyzed:
Dr. J. G. Earnest, an expert on kid
neys. would oppose transplanting of
a new’ kidney if Walker has one good
kidney left. He said Walker could
live with one healthy kidney, whereas
transplanting would entail untold
risks. He said:
"Unless Mr. Walker’s remaining
kidney is diseased. I should not at
tempt to transplant another one un
der any circumstances. It is better
to let him alone.
"To transplant a kidney from a
healthy, living dog to another is a
very different thing from taking a
kidney from a man who has just died
and transplanting it. When you take
a kidney from a man who has just
died you don’t know what you are
getting.
Can Live With One Kidney.
"If only one of Mr. Walker’s kid
neys is destroyed and he has a
healthy kidney left, he can live with
out the other one. I know this is true i
because we frequently take out one
kidney.
Dr. W. B. Summerall, who. as su
perintendent of the Grady Hospital,
perhaps has' had more experience with
bichloride of mercury in the hffman
system than any other Atlanta physi
cian. discussed the Walker case with
great resexve. He prefaced his re
marks with the statement that he had
the utmost confidence in Mr. Walker's
personal physicians and was answer
ing questions only from a hypothetical
standpoint.
"All prognocis would be merely the
expression of an individual opinion."
said Dr. Summerall. "I can only say
that if one of Mr. Walker’s kidneys
recovers its full normal functions per
manently, it is possible for him to
live. Still, his chances are almost nil.
Admits Nerve Might Aid.
“It seems unreasonable, when th*-
poison has been systematically dis
seminated. for one kidney to be so
seriously affected as to be totally d< -
•i-'troyed and yet for the other to sur
vive arid attain its normal functions.
Speaking from a hypothetical stand
point only. I should say Mr. Walker's
condition is decidedly precarious."
"Will his tremendous vitality, his
'nerve.’ work in his favor?’’ Dr. Sum-
merall was asked.
"Such determination helps wonder
fully,” was the reply, "it seems that
Mich determination sometimes actual
ly strengthens the nerve cells them
selves."
Dr. Summerall also pointed out that
bichloride of mercury was a systemic
poison, and that even if one of Walk
er’s kidneys recovered its functions,
uremic poisoning might afterward
set in or he might be paralyzed, or
might die eventually from systemic
poiMoning.
Thinks Death Is Certain.
Dr. Louie <’. Rouglin said he be
lieved Walker would die. but added
that no Atlanta physician could make
a positive statement upon this partic
ular case, as it would require personal
knowledge of the patient.
"From what I have read." he said,
"the fact that Walker Is still alive to
day should he a great credit to his
physicians, because ordinarily the
man would have been dead."
Dr. Rouglin expressed great ad
miration for Mr. Walker’s vitality and
will power, but said now the poison
had so acted that he was mostly in a
comatose condition, where his won
derful "nerve” could help him no
longer. He emphasized that bichloride
of mercury is a systemic poison,
changing the blood and affecting the
nerve3, and that even should Walker’s
life be saved he would probably be
paralyzed.
Some of the poison undoubtedly was
absorbed and had its deleterious sys
temic effect, promising to finally nulli
fy the operations of the kidney, the
filter of the human body.
Rich Planter, Ill,
Commits Suicide
MONTGOMERY, ALA.. May 21.—
John I. Forniss. a prominent and
wealthy planter owning 12,000 acres
of rich farming lands, most of it in
Montgomery County, committed sui-
< idc in the bath room of his suite at
the Exchange Hotel here some time
during last night, sending a bullet
through his brain. The body was
found in a pool of blood to-day when
the hotel maid went in his room to
serve him his usual morning cup of
coffee. A pistol was tightly clutched
in his right hand
The Coroner *n his investigation
found two notes in the room, ad
dressed by the uead man to his wife,
one pertaining to business matters
and one telling why he committed the
deed. Ill nealth was given as the
cause. His wife was occupying an
adjoining room, but did not hear the
shot.
Presbyterians Refuse
Catholic Baptismal
Baptism by a Catholic priest i«
invalid for a member of the Southern
Presbyterian Church, and an appli
cant who has been so baptized must
go through the Presbyterian form o'
baptism before being recognized as a
Presbyterian.
This is the ruling made by the Gen
eral Assembly in 1884 and from which
deliverance it has declined to res
cind. Overture No. 26 from the
Presbytery of Upper Missouri re
quests that the deliverance be re
scinded and that such an applicant a
be required to be baptized.
The committee on overtures recom
mended that the overture be answered
in the * negative, which recommenda
tion was adopted by the General As
sembly.

Chamberlin^ohnson=DuBose Company
The Union Theological Seminary
controversy out of the way until next
year, the Northern Presbyterian As
sembly returned to its regular order
of business Wednesday morning.
The action of the Assembly late
Tuesday afternoon furnished one of
the greatest surprises of the entire
meeting. From the attitude of the
commissioners when Dr. Howard Ag-
new Johnston, of Stamford, Conn., had
made an unsuccessful motion to lay
the whole matter on the table, It was
hardly to be expected that the motion
of Dr, Mark A. Matthews, retiring
moderator, would meet with any bet
ter fate.
Dr. Matthews' motion was that a
committee of seven he appointed by
the moderator and that the three re
ports on Union Seminary be referred
to them. The new committee is to in
vestigate thoroughly the legal and
doctrinal relations between the Pres
byterian Church and the seminary and
report at the next General Assembly.
A tense situation was relieved. The
commissioners evidently were grateful
that they were able to avoid the issue
for another year. The great Audito
rium rang with the strains of "Praise
God. From Whom All Blessings Flow."
Much Bitterness Avoided.
The speeches had been growing In
bitterness. What the outcome would
have been without the happy motion
of Dr. Matthews Is impossible to
guess. The general opinion is that
the debate would have lasted the
greater part of the week If it had
been permitted to continue. The As
sembly appeared to favor one or the
other of the minority reports. The
sentiment against Union Seminary
was unmistakable.
Dr. William McKibbin, president of
Lane Theological Seminary, of Cin
cinnati, was the first speaker In the
debate. He advocated the adoption
of the second minority report, signed
by Dr. F. C. Monfort.
"All of the reports agree" he said,
"that if there is tcf be a reunion of
the church and the seminary, the
church must go to the seminary. Oth
erwise the renewal of relations will
be Impossible. Rut If we go we
must break with the Church of Christ.
"Every resolution of the second
minority report Is practically a re
flection of the orthodoxy of the Pres
byterian Church. These beliefs should
be held sacred unto God.
"The founders of this Institution
and the donors who have made its
existence possible have done all in
their power to tie It to the doctrines
of the Presbyterian Church. In the
constitution it was laid down that
these doctrines should he taught for
ever and that every professor should
from time to time he required form
ally to renew his allegiance with
these principles.
"Yet these laws have been abro
gated. Doctrines are taught that are
not in consonance with the old faith
of the church. Professors are in the
faculty who could not affirm their
allegiance to the Westminster Con
fession of Faith. Many believe that
this institution Is undermining the
faith of those who enter its doors. I
believe we should settle this matt-r
now. I believe the commissioners
should vote for the adoption of the
second minority report ”
Attorney Defends Seminary.
Henry K. Jessup, a New York at
torney and a commissioner to th«
Assembly, ridiculed the attempt of
several of the ministers to discuss the
legal points Involved in the contro
versy He said that the only opinion
that possibly could be held by anyone
with any brains was that the agrej
ment of 1870 between the seminar/
and the church was Illegal, and that
the seminary did the only thing possi
ble In rescinding It.
Mr. Jessup created something of
a stir when he accused Dr. Monfort
of omitting some of the essential
facts of the controversy In making
up his second minority report. He
said that this had been done either
intentionally or unintentionally, and
that It amounted to a misrepresenta
tion, as the Influencing factors had
been concealed.
Dr. Wilton Merle Smith, a director
in the seminary for 23 years, came
warmly to its’defense. He regretted
that stories had been spread abroad
about the unorthodoxy of four of the
recent graduates <>f the seminary, of
whom Tertius Van Dyke, son of Dr.
Henry VanDkye, was one.
"These stories w’ere untrue.” he
declared. "The boys were asked after
their examination. Why did you deny
the virgin birth?' ‘We didn’t,' they
replied. We only said that we hadn't
studied the matter sufficiently and
were not In a position to make a pos
itive statement of our belief.’ "
This explanation created a laugh
from the commissioners, It evidently
striking them as humorous that a
student after spending all the years
of his seminary course In studying
Just such questions as these should
say in his examination that he had
not had the time to study the subject
of the virgin birth.
