THE NEW MESSIAH AGAIN
A Litigant Who Says He Is Urged to
Kill a Man
Strange Story of Trouble That Comes
From Religious Circles in the
Windy City

Chicago, March 19.-George Coundrey,
the Chicago stencil and die manufacturer
who is suing George Jacob Scweinfurth
for $4,000 asserted today that he has
been urged by many church people,
clergymen and laymen, to kill the pre-
tended Christ. Coudrey's case against
Schweinfurth for breaking up the Coun-
drey family was set for trial today, but
the defense again secured continuance
The persistent delaying of the trial
angered the plaintiff, who is an old man,
and in burst of wrath he declared that
if he had followed the advice of his
friends he would have gone to Schwein-
furth's 'heaven" at Rockford and tested
the ''Messiah's" immortality with cold
lead. The old mans excited declaration
created sensation among his hearers.
''Some of the most prominent ministers
in Chicago said he, "have told me that
the killing of that man would be a Chris
tian duty. Only the teachings and advice
of Dwight L. Moody have prevented my
following such counsel. Schweinfurth
has broken up my home and taken my
family away from me, and it is becoming
only too apparent that | cannot get re-
dress through legal channels.
Coundrey's wife and five children are
now living at the Rockford Heaven"
and have resisted al efforts TO secure their
return, being unduly influenced. he

Washington, March 19.-Li Hung
Changes arrival in Japan is regarded in
official circles as one of the most sgniti-
cant events OF recent years. tits the first
time in his life that the venerable states
man of China has set foot outside of
Chinese soil. At his advanced age he
now journeys to Japan, China's tradi-
tional foe, to offer enormous concessions
as means of securing peace.
1t can be stated positively and authori
tatively that the general terms of peace
are already understood, and all that re-
mains is the arranging OF details within
certain limits. The general terms have
been brought about by the efforts of the
United States Ministers, DENLY in China
and Dun in Toxic. 1t was feared even
up to late date that LIS mission might
fail, through the vagueness of his author
ity to treat for the ceding of territory.
This was arranged, however. through the
activity of the United States Ministers,
showing that the mission would otherwise
prove futile. The general terms of Lii
Hung Changes authority are to cede ter
ritory, pay cash indemnity, grant the
independence of Corea and arrange new
treaty relation with Japan by which Jap
anese extra territorial jurisdiction in
China will be maintained. The exact
amount of the cash indemnity is not fixed
nor is the kind of metal it is to be paid
in agreed upon. These and the bound
aries of the coded territory are yet to be
arranged. So far as the arrangement has
advanced Prince LIS mission is expected
to be consummated within a few days,
unless some unexpected hitch occurs.
