Bowen has circulated SANDERS against
Henry Ward Beecher which are false,
and his (Bowen's) expulsion is called
for. An investigation is to be made
immediately, and Beecher is desirous
that the investigation should be made
at once. The Eagle adds: "This
morning reporter called upon Holla-
day, who, in answer to request for O
copy of the charges, said, You can't
get them from me, sir. He further
refuses any information concerning the
proposed investigation. The reporter

and influential members of Beecher's
church, and the general opinion seemed
to be that it would be better for the
church if the investigation were carried
on in public. On very good authority
it is ascertained that the charges refer
IN the main to certain utterances OF
Bowen at a recent conference at the
house of Victoria c. Woodruff.
