UNION MEETINGS ADVISED
TO Fray for the Return CT Public
Confidence
October Eighth Selected for Concerted
Approach to the Throne of Grace,
Asking the Nations Salvation.
Associated Press Snecial Wire

Associated Press Special Wire
CHICAGO, Sept. 21.-A mass meeting,
| called by D. L. Moody today, in Y. M. c.
A. auditorium, composed Of ministers,
laymen and Christian people, adopted
the following resolutions:
To the Christian Citizens of the United
States: In common with large number
of our fellow citizens of every religious
and political creed, we believe our ma
ton in the throes of a great conflict, por-
tending the most serious consequences
unless there be merciful interposition
of the divine hand. We believe this to
be true, independent of any settlement
of the present presidential contest one
way or another.
On the other hand that mysterious
factor known as public confidence" is
declining, as illustrated by the depres-
sion in financial and industrial circles,
while on the other hand political, class
and even sectional feeling is running
unusually high and is likely to become
intenser as the day of election draws
near Not only is it true that questions
requiring the most careful and dispas-
sionate consideration are very likely to
be determined, in many instances in the
heat of passion, but after their determi-
nation the results may prove baneful
over wide surface and heightened
period.
We would not view the situation per-
picking and foreboding as it is, outside
of its relation in. the mind of God. We
believe in its presence and agency
among us. He governs among nations,
and will be entrated by His people, but
we believe this to be the time for Chris
tian patriots to follow, the example of
our forefathers in the earlier crises
which have confronted us, and pray
unitedly to Him that keepeth the cove
nant and mercy for them that love Him
and keep His commandments" that He
would visit us with an especial grace.
We, therefore, a{fectionately invite
and earnestly urge our Christian fellow
citizens throughout the length and
breadth of our land. irrespective of de-
nominational or political aff1liation, to
join with us in observing Thursday, Oc-
tober Sth, as the day of fasting, confess
sion and prayer to the Almighty God,
that he will allay passion and restrain
evil among us, that He will strengthen
the faith and inspire the hope that He
will impart wisdom and bestow pa
thence and that He will forgive us our
iniquities as nation and grant us His
salvation.
We would further respectfully recon-
mend that in addition to the gatherings
held at the usual places of worship on
that day, union meetings shall be ar
ranged for in the afternoon or evening
where all may come together to unite
their hearts and voices in what we are
persuaded is the common cause.

CROOKED WORK.
District Attorney Fay Accused Of Alb
sorbing County Money.

BAKERSFIELD, Sept. 21.-The grand
jury has filed a complaint against Dis
trict Attorney Alvin Fay, asking that
he be removed from Office for "wilful and
malicious misconduct in office" The
basis of the complaint is as follows:
Some months ago the register of the
state land Office sent to District Attor.,
rey Fay list of the school land pur-
chases in this county on which the in
terest was delinquent and according to
the law the district attorney proceeded
to bring suit to foreclose the interest of
the purchasers in the lands. SiXty-three
such suits were brought and in his cost
bill Mr.. Fay included fee of $40 in each
case for his office, as the law provided.
but the jury finds that he has not paid
the same into the county treasury, but
has appropriated the money to his owr
use. For this it is asked that he be re-
moved from office. Deputy Attorney
General Carter was. here a short time
ago and was closeted with the grand
jury for day or two and it is now I'M
derstood that this was the matter I'M
der consideration. Fay is in Los Ange-
les and his view of the case cannot be
learned. His friends say that he does
not deny keeping the money, but claims
that he is entitled to it under an old
statute which allowed the district at
torney fees in certain cases.

CHICAGO, Sept. 21.-There was a meet
ing today of the directors of the Haw-
thorne Racing Association, and it came to
an abrupt conclusion when Edward Cor

bad blood between Brennock and Burke
on the one side and Corrigan on the other
When the meeting convened today they
lost no time in starting a row, which ended
in Ccrrlgan drawing his gun. After the
two directors had left Corrlgan went on
with the meeting and had things his own

they will prosecute Corrigan for what they
| allege Is his mismanagement of the Haw-
thorne funds. They estimate the value OF
the acknowledgement to be about $100,000

MISSING FOR A WEEK.
Civil Engineer Drops Out Of Sight,
Leaving His Wife.

Since Tuesday last George L. Thiels
Of the firm of Van Alstyne & Thiels, with
offices in the Wilcox block, has been
missing, and there now seems little
doubt that he has dropped out of sight
for good Thiels is a civil engineer and
ranked high in his profession. He FORM
ed partnership with Mr.. Van Alstyne
some four months ago, and the offices
were opened. The new firm did o -four
lshing business and all seemed we'll,
Ihiels worked early and late and SEEM
ed devoted to his business. He was liv-
ing on Franklin street between Spring
anu broadway and was married on
august Sd last On the day of his dis
appearance Mr.. Van Alstyne saw his
partner in their offices about 4 o'clock.
when he STEPPED out. telling Thiels that
ne would be gone but a few minutes.
since then he has not laid eyes on him.
Ihat Ihiels contemplated leaving Is
shown by the fact that he made several
purchases during the day and called
three times for a suit of clothes that he
was having made at his tailor's before
they were finished and handed to him.
He also took with him a number of pa
pers relating to business of the firm. His
wife was also left behind and has no
idea of her husbands Whereabouts.
Speaking of the disappearance, Mr..
Van Alstyne yesterday said that he had
no doubt that Thiels had gone for good.
In reply to the question as to whether
his accounts were straight he said they
were as far as he knew, but later on
characterized Thiels as a rascal and un-
worthy of confidence. He had known
Thiels for long time before he entered
into partnership with him and never
suspected his real character. Later on,
In an unguarded moment, Mr.. Van AL
styne said that he should, as soon as
positively satisfied, give out statement
regarding Thiels. He had done them up.
but on being asked how refused to state.
1t was barely possible that Thiels had
decided to take a trip to the Needles,
where he had an interest in some mining
property, but he thought not Thiels
will never return to this city.

BLUE LAWS IN THE ISLE OF MAN
Imposed Severe Punishments for tht
Most Trivial Offenses.

The legislature of the Isle of Man is
called the house of keys, and was for-
merly judicial body, whose duty IL was
to interpret the laws-to unlock thelr
mystries. Any one bold enough ana III
advised enough to SANDER the mouse OF
loss of both his ears. Two deemsters
were appointed to execute the laws,
which, before 1417, were uncodifled, ana
were known as breast laws, being I'M
parted to the deemsters in secret, ana
by them kept within the secrecy or their
own breasts as long as they chose, or
during the whole service, though they
were empowered to impart and explain
to the people SO much of them as should
at any time seem expedient.
Some of the laws, as recorded after the
codification, are extremely quaint. Here
is one which recalls to mind the narrow
bound and primitive way of life of the
ManXmen. Nowhere else surely would
the greater crime be regarded as the
less-nerely because, in the nature cf
things, it could result. despite the inten-
ton of the thief, only in an enforced
loau-and the lesser crime be gravely
reckoned as the greater:
"If man steal a horse or an OK, it Is
no felony. for the offender cannot hide
them; but if he steal a capon or a piggle
he shall be hanged.
In the case of theft" another law
declares. "if it amount to the value OF
sixpence halfpenny, it shall be felony
to death to the offender; and under that
value, to be whipped or set upon wood
en- horse ordered for such offenders"
A rather ingenious law, designed to
check the breaking of pledges by I'M
trustworthy servants who might have an
opportunity to get improved wages, de-
crees that any servant hiring with two
masters must give his labor TO the first
hp is TO nd h
to the second; should the offense be re-
peated the culprit is to be set in the
stocks and whipped.
The arms of the Isle of Man, which,
though it sounds like an Irish bull TO
say so, are legs-three legs bent at the
knee, and apparently kicking outward
from common center in the midst of
shield-have provoked a number of
jocular descriptions, of which the best
declares that one leg spurns Ireland,
one kicks at Scotland, and the third
kneels to England. The feeling thus
typlfied appears certainly TO exist to-
ward the former two countries, II we ara
to judge by the following laws. never
repealed, though, it Is needless to add,
never in our day enforced:
Irish women lettering and not work.
ing are to be commanded forth of the
isle with as much convenient speed us
may be-
Why Irish women especially is not ex.
plained perhaps they accompanied their
husbands-the "spalpeens" came over
for harvesting-and made themselves
obnoxious as beggars
The other law is at least fairer in ap-
pearance, since it does not discriminate
in the matter of SEX but 1t is no more
hospitable. 1t enjoins: That all Scots
avoid the land with the next vessel that
goeth to Scotland, upon paine of forfeit
ing their goodies and their body to pris-
on."-From the Green Bag.
