ton of the first batch of criminals con-
victed of completely in the Ku Cheng

gruesome affair. Up to the previous day
it had not been known that the execu-
tiou would take place. but on the even

from Pekin, and the following day the
men were taken to the execution ground.
Only one head was completely severed at
the first blow, the other six prisoners
being merely hacked about the neck and
left to die.
The seven men were: Ting Huang

assisting in the murder of Mrs. Stewart;

Proceeding to Be Brought Against
NtOlators of the Law.
CHICAGO, Nov. IA sweeping and
sensational move will be made to-mor-
row morning by the Attorney General of
the State, Maurice Maloney To-day he
served notice upon all grain elevator and
warehOusemen of this city, declaring his
intention of beginning quo warranto pro-
ceedings against them in the Circuit
Court before Judge Gibbons. The notice
was for the purpose of warning the ele-
yator and warehouse men to appear and
defend themselves. The proceedings are
based upon alleged violations of the State
law, which forbids elevator and grain
warehouse men who have the custody Of
grain belonging to others from dealing or
specializing IN grain. This law, the At
torney- General says, has been grossly
violated. This move affects Chicago's
greatest enterprises. and the attack of
State Official upon the charters OF the va
rious corporations is looked upon as
sensational episode. and great interest
will be taken in the proceedings in court.
Last year an investigation on the same
general lines was made, but nothing OF
tangible nature resulted.

CHURCH UNITY, OR NOT?
Episcopal Convention Discusses a Matter
which Concerns the Form Of Service.

Minneapolis, Oct 16.-Among the re-
ports presented at the opening session
of the house of deputies of the Episco-
pal convention today was one from the
committee on nominations, naming as
trustees of the general theological semi
nary all of the old board and proposing
Henry Butt as the successor of the Rev.
DIR. Hall, deceased.
The house of deputies had an inter-
esting debate regarding church unity
this afternoon. 1t came up on the con-
sideration of the report of the commit
tee on amendment to the constitution
proposing an amendment TO article s,
allowing bishops to take certain con-
gregations under their spiritual care
and permitting these outside congrega-
tions 10 use a special service selected
by the bishop. This was a step in the
direction OF church unity, and it was
debated with great warmth. The COM
mittee was about evenly divided on the
subject. DIR. w II. Huntington of New
York made a forcible argument in fav-
or Of the plan and said that there was
every reason to believe that it would
become d successful experiment and in
the Swedish Episcopal churches of
Minneapolis, they had an example of
what could be done in this direction. If
the church believed what it had pre-
viously declared about church unity,
here was a chance to be consistent

posed the plan and said that it meant
giving the bishops carte blanche to
adopt whatever form of service they
saw fit. 1t would in a way relegate the
book of common prayer to the back
ground in these sporadic congregations
and would prove a dangerous expert
ment. Others took part in the debate
and II VIII be continued tomorrow.

He emphasized his understanding 10 all
Of US that he regarded two terms as
