MADE A BLUNDER.
The Sentencing of Coxey and Others So
Regarded In Washington.


WASHINGTON, May 22.-The sentenc-
ing of Coxey, Browne and Jones to Jail
for 20 days for carrying banners has pro-
duced an effect opposite to the expected
here.
1t is the general impression of the
more thoughtful people here that it was
a great blunder to send them to Jail 1t
will have the effect of making martyrs
of them throughout the country and
making their followers ugly and des-
perate, while the fact is they are harm
less cranks, and their offense was en-
tirely technical.
1t was hardly worthy of notice. There
is not day that men with badges on are
not around the capitol and the capitol
grounds. There is not day that men,
women and children do not walk upon
the grass in the grounds. Scarcely a
week passes that there is not process
sion of some kind going through the
capitol grounds, notably funerals and
things of that kinds, and yet the police
never attempt to modest them.
Coxey, Browne and Jones are cranks
who only like to shoot off their mouths
and to win notoriety. They were ably
defended in the court, but the Dogberry
presiding felt that his dignity was at
stake unless he gave them a Jail SEN
tence, and he accordingly did SO.
1t is the general belief of the leading
men here of both old parties that the
sentence will in certain way help the
Populists, and that in any instance it was
not in the public interest.

ONLY S23 LEFT.
The Kansas WORLDS Fair Board Has Ex-
hausted the APproprIation.

The Kansas WorId's Fair Board Has Ex-
hausted the Appropriation.
The Kansas Worlds fair board now has
only 1928 to it's credit in the state treasury.
An order was issued this morning for
$1,000 and this practically exhausts the
appropriation.
The secretary of the board called
meeting for yesterday afternoon to take
steps to secure postage to send out the
Worlds fair report of which 10000 copies
were printed. The board met and de-
cided to set aside $1,000 of the available
resources for that purpose. 1t was sup
posed that the board still had 81, 100 in
the state treasury to its credit.
The board sold the Kansas building
and exhibits, for which the total sum of
$1,11516 was realized, but the amount
was never turned into the state treasury,
as provided in the Worlds Fair act
The board expended the money to meet
expenses, and it was thought that the
entire appropriation also belonged to
it for its use. The state treasurer holds,
however, that the amount received should
be included in the appropriation and so
must be deducted from the amount avail
able in the state treasury.

1T. ssvIEWS WITH ALARM"

Rochester Prssbytery is Afraid of the
General AssembIy's New Def nttions.
SARATOGA, n. Y, May 22.-Ths devo-
tional service at the opening of the Pres
bytery general assembly was devoted to
the subject of home missions.
An overture had been received from
the presbytery of New Albany asking
the general assembly to memorabilia con-
gress to enact such regulations with ref
erence to the personal life of their men,
bers as will prevent the presence in the
national councils of men of immoral and
dissolute habits.
The recommendation that no action be
taken on the subject was adopted by
small vote, but without opposition.
The presbytery of Rochester had over
turned the assembly, saying that it
Views with apprehension the attempt
of the general assembly to make new
definitions of dogma. by deliverance and
by judicial decison," and expressing the
view that ''no doctrinal statement which
is not explicitly contained in the con-
fession of faith and catechisms of the
church be binding to our office bearers"
The assembly replied by denying that
it did such things.
DR.. Brown of Portland, chairman of
the committee on home missions, then
said that the church must raise $1,23S,-
341.40 during the coming year in order
to pay the present Indebtedness of
the board and enable it to pros
ecute its work for the twelve
months. During the year 100000 have
been received, while a debt of nearly
$25S,OO is reported due to a falling of
in legacies. w
The woman's missionary society has
contributed $26S, 900. Under commission
from the board are 1921 ministers and
1858 teachers.

pounded it over the head until it ran. He
then notified Superintendent Faulkner of
the accident, and assisted in carrying his
wounded companion to the house.
