BAPTIST COLLEGE WORK

FRANKLIN INSTITUTION.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
GREENSBURG, Ind, Oct. 14.-One of the
leading meetings of the Baptist convention
half of education. The meeting began with
the report by Rev N. Carr, secretary Of
the educational board. Baptists in Indiana
began their educational work in 1884, and
the first meeting was held in the First Bap-
fist Church of Indianapolis, and members
of the First Church in Indianapolis were
active in locating the Baptist college in
Franklin. The report gave considerable of
the early history of educational work, but
the main features of it covered the present
conditions. More than 260 young men and
women attended Franklin College last year,
and the attendance at the present time is
much larger. The Baptists of Indiana paid
into the treasury of Franklin College more
than $1S,000 and the assets at this time are
1928, $50, of which almost $500 600 is en-
dowment or invested funds. The college has
entered on the task of securing another
100000 before the close of the century. To
this fund $4,000 has already been sub
scribed, and Mr.. John d. Rockefeller, of
New York, has indicated his interest to
such an extent that it is understood he will
give the effort his support.
The work of the Baptist denomination in
Indiana is divided into thirty-one organiza-
tions, known as associations, and the con-
tributions made by individuals last year
are classified by associations, as follows:

A PECULIAR FEATURE.
Dayton Running for Controller ON
PIntfOrm He Repudiates.


NEW YORK, Oct. 14-With the accept
ance of the Jeffersonian Democracy's NOM
ination for controller by ex-Postmaster
Dayton, the tickets of the leading parties
and association that will contest at the
municipal election next month may be said
to be complete. Against the statement
that negotiations are in progress Tor the
withdrawal of C. S. Fairchild from the
Citizens Union ticket, on which he was
nominated for controller, there stands the
explicit denial by Mr.. Fairchild that such
a proposition had been submitted to or en-
tertained by him. There ceased some time
ago to be any talk of the withdrawal OF
mayoralty candidates. and there is every
indication that voters will nave q cnolce
between Tracy, Republican; van Wyck,
Tammany Democrat; Low, Citizens Union;
George, Thomas Jefferson Democrat; Giea-
son. Anti-Tiger Democrat, and O'Brien,
United Democracy. This last named candl-
date has stepped into the lists in conse-
quence Of Henry Georges withdrawal of
his acceptance of TIE United Democracy 5
nomination, and will be given a place upon
the official ballot through means of petit
ton. The contest, however, will be quad
rangular rather than sexangular, Messrs.
Gleason and O'Brien being scarcely regard
ed as in the running.
A peculiar feature of the political situa-
ton is that while Mr.. Dayton has accepted
the nomination for controller on the George
ticket, he announces that he does not stand
on the platform of the Jeffersonian Democ
racy. The chaSm thus created is thus bridg-
ed by the declaration of Georgete man
ayers that the campaign committee long
ago came to the conclusion that the office
of controller was not a plitical one. Pro-
vided the man selected for the place on the
ticket was in every way qualified for the
Office, the managers say it is not necessary
that he should indorse all the planks OF the
platform and such Endorsement had
been required of Mr.. Dayton. Mr.. Day
ton said to-day that the issue he would
make in his campaign would be that of per-
sonal liberty VS.. political tyranny.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Oct. 4.-The eff
forts to adjust the difference between the
coal operators of The Kanawha valley and
their men has failed absolutely and Presi-
dent Ratchford left tonight for Columbus,
disheartened over his failure. Two confer
ences were held to-day between a commit
tee of miners. including President Ratch-
ford and Chris Evans, and committee of
operators. The price offered by the oper-
ators was 80 cents for soft and Sc cents for
hard coal. The miners accepted this, but
when the question of a signed agreement
to bind all the operators was presented they
objected. They wanted the owner of each
individual mine to make and sign a sepa-
rate contract. This was the first disagree
ment and the second one was on a demand,
made by the miners, that the men should
not be Disseminated against for not deal
ing at the company store. The operators
refused to agree to this, and the conference
was at an end. President Ratchford feels
bitter towards the operators. He said he
came here fully determined to settle the
strike in some way. The miners, he said,
had conceded nearly every vital point, and
he was convinced that the operators were
determined to fight the miners organiZa-
ton in West Virginia. He says the fight
will be continued on the part of the coal
diggerS and he does not now hope to see a
settlement at any time sooIl.
