BROWNS CASE DECIDED

The Bay Conference Advised to Cease
the Persecution Of the Much
Maligned Preacher

CHICAGO, Oct. 2S.-The Times Her.
aid this morning prints tie following:
The Congregational council called to
judge between DR.. c. o. Brown and the
Bay conference of California, and to
decide whether the conference was justi-
fed in suspending from membership DR..
Brown on the strength of the finding OF
the San Francisco council that tried him
for immortality in April 1896, reached
a unanimous conclusion at late hour
last night. The terms of the finding
have not yet been made known, but the
purport of them is complete victory
for DR.. Brown.
The finding begins with complete
and emphatic exoneration of DR.. Brown
from the charge of misconduct, which
was tried and declared not proven by
the previous council. 1t then proceeds
to pass on to the action of the Bay con-
ference, and condemns it. A test mo-
ton was made to approve its action,
and on formal vote it was voted down

Luetgert'S ATTORNEY

CHICAGO, Oct 2S.-Ex-Judge Vincent
may not appear as counsel for Adolph
L. Luetgert in his second trial, which is
scheduled for next week. Vincent urged
Luetgert to agree to a reasonable con-
tinuance of the case, but the latter was
obdurate. Vincent then told Luetgert
that he had neglected his business three
months to try the case, and now he pro-
posed to have little time for himself
This made Luetgert very angry, and he
sent for Attorney Ramsay, formerly as
sistant states attorney, and consulted
with him relative to taking charge of the.
second trial.
At o'clock this afternoon Luetgert ap-
peared before Judge Chetlain with At
torney Phalen and had his case con-
tinued to the next term of court on his
motion. States Attorney Deenen was
present. Previous to the continuance
it had been positively agreed by counsel
that Luetgert's second trail should be
gin on November Sth, and Luetgert
wanted this understood.

PULLMAN's SONS
Will Make No Contest Against the
Will

CHICAGO, Oct. 2S.-There is to be
no contest of the Pullman will, so both
sons of the dead palace car magnate
declared today Said George NJ. Pull
man: THE idea of wishing to contest
my fathers will never entered my head,
nor my brothers head either. No steps
have been taken, none will be taken to
break the will. My relations with the
Pullman Palace Car company and with
my family are most cordial. ] am in
the company in the capacity of an as
sistant superintendent and expect to re-
main with the company"
Referring to the gossip that coupled
his name with that of Miss Felicite
Oglesby in the character of a rejected
suitor, Mr.. Pullman said: Our rela
tions are exactly the same as they have
always been. So far as my brother
Sanger's engagement is concerned that
is an affair that concerns him. I do not
choose to interfere in his business"
Friends of Miss Lynne Fernald say
the engagement between that young
lady and Mr.. Sanger Pullman has been
broken off.
In terms as explicit as those employed
by his brother, Sanger Pullman contra
dicted the rumor that his fathers will
was to be attacked in the courts. An

Inspection of Stock

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-The depart
ment of agriculture has been officially
notified of the appointment by New
South Wales of a veterinary inspector
at San Francisco to examine and grant
certificates of health for American
horses to be shipped to Australia from
that point. A similar appointment of
a veterinary inspector at New York in
behalf of Australia was recently made
by New South Wales to facilitate the
shipment of cattle, sheep and swine to
that country from New York only. The
department is further informed that
American bred merinos are the pre-
MUM sheep in Australia and that the
breeding and shipping of such sheep to
that market is becoming more and more

Juan MADEIRA, supposed to be one of the

the lynching a second murdered Mexican

that the crime was the work of the man

Professor Ira Moore was a native of
Maine, being born in Bloomfield in 1929.
He graduated from Yale in his twenty
third year, and was also graduate
setts. In 1857 he organized the Illinois
Normal school at Bloomington, holding
the position of ce-principal until 1861.
In that year he commanded company
of volunteers in the Thirty-third Illi-
nois regiment, recruited from the stu
dents of his classes in the school. Dur
ing the war he contracted chronic dys-
entery, which was the cause of several
attacks of paralysis few months be-
fore he resigned from the State Normal
school in Los Angeles in 1898.

INDIAN TROUBLES
Game Warden Wilcox Is Reported
Seriously Wounded

DENVER, Col, Oct. 2S.-No definite
news from the scene of the Indian
trouble in Western Colorado has yet
been received at either the office of the
governor or the headquarters of the de-
partment of the Colorado.
The following was received by the
Times from Craig, Col: Special mes
senger from the lower part of the coun-
ty arrived here this morning at o'clock
and reports that Game Warden Wilcox
and party, who went there to keep the
Utes from slaughtering game, were at
tackled by the Indians and as a result
three Utes were killed and one of the
deputies of Mr.. Wilcox was seriously in
jured. More men will go from here to-

PROFESSOR IRA MOORE

In 1865 he organized the normal school
at st. Cloud, Mimi, where he had re-
moved with his family. A few years
later he moved to San Jose, where he
took up his profession again and taught
school till 1888, when he accepted the
principalship of the State Normal school
in Los Angeles, which position he held
until 1893, when he voluntarily resigned
on account of falling health.
Superintendent of Schools j. A. Foshay
was greatly concerned about the sad
news, which came as a complete sur
prise. Il knew that he had been failing
for some time" said Mr.. Foshay, land,
as matter of fact, when 1 last saw
him he seemed to me to be weaker men,
tally than he was while teaching here.
All who knew him simply revered and
loved the man, his sense of mercy and
justice being the great quality about
him, whereby he was universal favor
lite. The students Of his class thought
there was no one like him, and his death
will come as shock to all who knew
him. AS for the conflicting reports con-
|cerning the manner in which he took
his life, am unable to say which is
the correct one, but there is no doubt
that he committed the act in a state
of mental alteration"
Mrs. F. H. Byram, principal Of the
Normal model school, who graduated
from Professor Moore's class in 1884, was
loud in her praises of the deceased, and
stated that he was simply adored by
his pupils. "He was a gentleman of the
old school," said Mrs. Byram, always
kind and courteous, and never too busy
to right wrong or stand up for the de-
fenseless. His great hobby was the
gymnasium, on the west side of the
Normal school building, which he organ
ized and carried through himself"
Professor Pierce said: Il am afraid
that the report as to his shooting him.
self is correct. Just before he left the
Normal school in '93 he had a bad at
tack of paralysis, which, however, he
|appeared to regard as not being any
thing very serious. There is no doubt
that the attacks, which ocucrred at va
rious intervals since he left the school,

A GREEK SCANDAL
Naval Officers Disloyal or Grossly
Negligent

ATHENS. Oct. 2S.-A profound sensa-
ton has been caused here by a naval
scandal of formidable dimensions. 1t has
just been ascertained that all the cart
ridges fitted for torpedoes during the
war between Greece and Turkey were
not provided with percussion caps and
Illuminating mercury. Hence, if torpe-
does had bene wanted, they would have
been perfectly harmless. The commit
tee of investigation which was appointed
to inquire into the matter has already
discovered that two officers, Rastopol
and Anastasia, must be tried by court
martial on a charge of culpable negli-
gence. The anti-dynasty newspapers are
making valiant attacks upon Prince
George of Greece, who was commander
of the torpedo flotilla. The Prince, who
was a great favorite with the masses be-
fore the war, is deeply affected by these
attacks.

Skillful Surgery

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 28.-Dr. Barr Of
this city has performed an operation de-
clared to be without a parallel, having
successfully operated on and saved the
life of a man who had received knife
wound in the upper right-hand side of
the neck, cutting into the carotid artery.
The patient lost three litres of blood and
was in an exhausted condition. The
artery was tied and the doctor. waiting
for an opportune moment, removed the
coagulated blood and succeeded finally
in stopping the hemorrhage. The patient
in fifteen days had been pronounced
cured and is strong and active
