CHRISTIAN ENDEaVORERs Societies Desire New Form of Adminis-
 tering Their Affairs.

Washington, July 13.--The board of trustees of the United Societies of Christian Endeavor held it's final meet ing sor the year to-day and formally ton. The trustees were gratified dur ing the meeting with the reception of a signed statement bearing the names of nearly every state union Christian Endeavor Society approving their ad- ministration of the affairs of the socie- lty and endorsing their system of gov- ernment At present all power over the United Societies Is vested in the board of trustees and their officers, and the board is self f-perpetuating.
 Some of the western Endeavorers want to change this system so that va cancies in the board should be filled by election either in the conventions or by the local unions. Opposition to this proposed change found expression to-day in this formal statement which bears the signatures of twenty eight state union presidents, and the ex- pression is so emphatic that the agita- tion for a change of system is not like- ly to be heard again for some time.
 The statement was based upon con- ference between the trustees and the presidents of the state provincial unions. It recites that the signers are convinced that, generally speaking the conduct of the Christian Endeavor movement has been most wise and in obedience to manifest providential lead ings The movement has been signally blessed in the self sacrifice and devo- tion of those who originated and have so faithfully served it as officers and trustees Of the United Siciety."
 It declares that the officers and trus- tees have not assumed legislative func- tions or controlled the Christian En- deavor movement except to direct it into channels of large development and usefulness. While they have been a conserving influence, they have been of open mind and willing spirit, seeking only the most interests of the cause.
 The statement further says that the Christian Endevaro is not an institu- tion, but movement! The very sim plieity of its organization and it's free dom from machinery, combined with high character, sober judgment and

her baby, who is very i'll with bronchitis.
The little child lay tossing on the bed, its
tiny face drawn in the intensity of its sui-
fering. AT the request of its mother it
looked up and lisped that it was Lucky
Baltwin's baby girl"
~ do not understand it at ALL" said the
mother, 'and am not able to tell any
thing about the incident. 1t is so unlike
sister. That is not her disposition, and
never heard her speak as though she was
desperate. | am also at loss to account
for the pistol. If she had it all the time
she has kept the fact from me. Oh, why
has all this come upon us?
when l was in such deep trouble

having no one else to apply to, | sent for
her. When she, arrived here baby was
several months old, and that was the first
she knew of my being a mother. You
may well imagine her feelings but she
hurriedly put her sorrow away and has
been good and most patient nurse to
our helpless innocent baby. There never
was sacrifice too great that she was not
willing to make for this child without a
father. We two wretched sisters have
struggled for our three lives such as few
women have struggled before. But no
need to speak of the past when the dread
full present and the more dreadful future
is at hand.

JUDGE STACKS ACTION.
How His Honor Restored Order
After the Attempted
Murder.

Judge Slack's actions throughout the
exciting scene in his courtroom were such
as might have been expected on the part
of that decisive official. The report of the
pistol of the would-be murderess had
hardly died away before his Honor set
about restoring order. He left the bench
and coming down past the CLERKS desk
commanded the excited attorneys and
spectators to take their seats.
Miss Emma Ashley had been disarmed,
but Lawyer Crittenden and Superintendent
Unruh seemed about to spill one another 8
blood. Judge Stacks determined words
brought the men to realization of their
surroundings, and in a moment, except
for the sobbing of Lillian Ashley, the
courtroom had resumed its usual quiet.
After court adjourned, the Judge told
several reporters his impression of the
dramatic scene.
az was engaged looking over a paper
which had been handed me, !" he said, land

slant the report sounded 1 looked up and
saw Miss Ashley holding the pistol in her
hand. MIR. Unruh Immediately grasped
her and took the pistol from her. While
the young woman was being secured, Mr..
Crittenden and Mr.. Unruh seemed in dan.
ger of getting into difficulty.
81 commanded them to be seated. Mr..
Unruh held the pistol which he had taken
from Miss Ashley and Mr.. Crittenden's
attitude suggested that he might draw one
from his pocket.
After order was in measure obtained,
asked Mr.. Crittenden If he had a pistol
i'll his pocket. He acknowledged that he
had and handed it to the clerk. No one
else acknowledged being armed l then
ordered both Mr.. Crittenden and Mr.. I'm
rub to appear in court tomorrow and ex-
plain their actions.
1.-THE attorneys on both sides were ready
to continue the case, but Miss Lillian
Ashley, who was testifying when the
trouble occurred, was on the verge of hys-
terics and I thought it better to continue
the hearing until Monday"

he lerked the revolver out of her hands
he whirled around as if to meet me with
the weapon pointed directly toward me.
He seemed To be intent upon using it; why
could not understand. He was certainly
trying to cock the gun and it struck me
that had better look out for myself.

cited, and probably did not have a clear
idea of affairs. l was surprised to see a
young woman so quiet and gentle wrought
up TO the point of using a revolver as she
did. Through all the trial she has sat
silently in the courtroom, and l have
never heard any outbreak from her. She
must have been laboring under some Sc

The weapon was a cheap double-action

examined after the shooting one chamber
was found empty.
In Police Judge Joachimsens court last
evening warrant was issued for Emma
Amanda Ashley's arrest, with bail fixed at
$40 600. Her attorneys, Crittenden and
Van Wyck, considered this sum excessive
and argued against 1t, but Baldwin's
attorneys insisted that it should stand in
that sum. An effort will be made to get
