The secretary has preached over 500 times

The board recommends more systematic
administration of -nnancial- q affairs-iR- the.
churches, uniform constitution for the diff
ferent associations, a. re-arrangement of
dates for the annual sessions, that the stand
ard of Sunday school work be raised, a spe-
cial missionary being suggested.
At the conclusion of the report the genera
subject matter was taken up for discussion.
First there were addresses on ministerial
support by Rev. F. j. Bicknell and Mr..
Austin Hall. These speakers urged the
necessity OF paying the ministers their
other causes were neglected, for a minister
is the life of a church and cannot be done
without.
General discussion Of the trustees report
followed. 1t was voted to adopt d sugges-
tton of DIR. Dunn and to create an executive
committee from the board of trustees who
should have the management of affairs, in
stead OF the present full board. The reason
urged for this Is that it is impossible to get a
majority Of the board together at the quarter
ly meeting.
On motion Of Rev. j. E. Cochrane of Hal
lowell, after a spirited discussion, 1t was
voted as the sense of the convention that
the churches should raise at least $1,000 for
missions next year.

A Witness Ag aInst NJ. 8. Curtis Con-
fesses to Perjury.

SAN FRANCISCO, October 6.-There was
sensational evidence yesterday in the case Of
M. B. Curtis. better known as "SamI of
PoseD," charged with the murder of Police
man Grant. Henry Jarensen, the Finn, who
testified last Saturday that he knew Curtis
carried weapon, and that he recognized the
pistol in court as the revolver Of the actor,
was recalled. Three revolvers were shown
him, but he could not identify any of them.
Attorney Foote said: "What did you
mean by testifying you had seen Curtis carry
pistol and identify so positively the weapon
shown your"
u swore to lie," Jsrensen admitted.
The witness shifted In his chair upeasily
and muImur ran through the court room
de declared In answer to questions that he
had sworn as he did because he was afraid
OF the police officers, and testified to please
them. The prosecution tried to break down
his new testimony, but failed, so that the re-
suit Is in favor of the actor, as showing ex-
traordinary efforts by the police to convict
Curtis: John III. Schulheis, machinist, was
the only new witness today. He is the man
who mended Policeman Grants nippers
about year ago. He testified that the nip
pers found on Curtis were, to the best of his
knowledge. the same as those he had re-
paired, but he refused to swear positively
that they were the same. The police still
claim they can make Jarensen stick to his
original story, but their case Is already bad
ly hurt by his confusion and by the failure
OF the machinist to identify positively the
nipperS.

yesterday, in which Senator German and
other national lights of the Democracy par
ticipated, he denounced ex-Speaker Reed.
