CREATED AMUSEMENT.
Unique Explanation in the Bank
Wrecking Case.

Indianapolis. May BIN the cross-ex-
animation of F. A. Coffin, today IN TIE
bank-wrecking cases. the witnesses
showed an acuteness and igen1ous eva
sion of questions that even attorneys
for the government admired.
Notwithstanding this, however, the
government succeeded in tearing down
the theory Of the defense. and there
has been nothing gained by it in placing
the defendants on the stand.
Letters were produced which the wit
ness was compelled to acknowledge and
which showed that Haughey. the pres
ident of the bank, had been offered and
had accepted stock in the London branch
of the cabinet company, although it has
been claimed there was no connection
of any kind between the head of the bank
and the company.
1t was further shown that the defen-
dants were in favor of the visits of the
national bank examiner and regulated
their actions accordingly. This has been
denied all along by the defense.
Coffin explained the drafts on the
branch concerns by saying they were
given to make the bank a creditor of
those concerns to give it a lien on the
goods sent out from under its lien on the
main company. In this he disregarded
the fact that the drafts had been all
cashed by the bank when presented
This unique explanation created consld-
cradle amusement.

SOUTHERN PREsBYTERIANs.
Report of the Birmingham Confer

ence Committee Rejected.
Nashville, Tenn. May 19-The general
assembly of the Southern Presbyterian
church today received the report of the
committee on the Birmingham conference
which recently reached an agreement to
practically turn over the work of negro
evangelists to the Freedman board.
The committee stated that it had. con-
sidered so much of the report of the
cation as relates to cooperation of the
Presbyterian church in the United States
of America with the Presbyterian church
in the United States and also overtures
from the Presbyteries of Louisiana, Eb-
enezer, Cherokee and Eastern Texas
touching the matter. and was persuaded
that the church does favor the plan, but
that it meets with large an influential
opposition, and can not be put into effec-
tive operation. They, therefore, recon-
mend that the assembly decline to adopt
it, but that the diligence Of ~ committee
and its desire to acquiesce in the will of
the church be commended.
After some discussion, the report was
adopted, and the agreement reached by
the joint committee at Birmingham was
rejected. The general assembly received
two overtures from the Presbytery Of
North Alabama-one asking the appoint
ment of a committee on PRESBYTERIAN
unity, and the other requesting that a
standing committee be appointed on CO.

SAM MOI is WORRIED.
He Claims That the Hishbinders Are
After Him.

After Him.
Chicago, ILL.,, May 19.-Highbinders
are after Sam Moi, the Chinaman, ac-
cording to the story he has told the
United States officers. He complains
that certain Cinnamon who are agents
of the secret organization called on him
and attempted to blackmail him under
threats of death. He refused to give
the names of the men. but said they
were Cinnamon who were capable of
carrying out their threats.
Agent Grain advised him to make
complaint TO the police and have the
Cinnamon arrested on charges of at
tempted blackmail. Sam Moi refused
to talk about the alleged threats of
the highbinders.
From a government official who is
familiar with Chinese affairs in Chica-
go, but who does not desire to be
quoted, it was learned that a new or
ganization of highbinderS has recently
been formed in this city. This official
says that the highbinders meet IN
Chinese resort on Harrison and Clark
streets and that they are being watch
ed by the police. These men have
formed a society similar to all intents
and purposes to the highbinders who
have done so much injury in San Fran
cisco, but who never obtained a foot
hold in Chicago" said the official. THE
object of the society is simply to black
mail those who are not included in its
membership. Sam Moi has a good
many interests on Clark street in the
Chinese colony, and is a merchant who
has made a great deal of money. He
has been asked to pay tribute to the
society, and he refused to do so. The
specific demand which was made upon
him was for $40 a week from the pro-
ceeds of his place. He has paid the
society nothing, but he is greatly wor-
ried on account of the threats OF the
men
