INVESTIGATION oRDEh ED.
Presbyterian synod Against Liquor
Selling at Princeton Inn.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Oct. 13.-At the
last days session Of the Indiana Synod to-
day the report of the committee on tenn
perance, recommending that the synod send
up an overture to the General Assembly
for an investigation of the report that liquor
is sold at the Princeton Inn, the high-class
resort for students at Princeton University,
was adopted after spirited discussion.
The various reports showed there had
been 1856 accessions to the church during
the year; total amount of home contribu-
tons, $10,670; to which is added $1,000 re-
ceived from other sources. The Woman's
Home Mission Society raised $40, 4S9. At the
beginning of the year the board was ST.
219.e4 in debt. which was decreased to
$1,O67.S3 and that amount was raised by sub
scription in the synod.
The committee on home missions reported
that the assessment of So cents per capita
be continued; also that the office of state
superintendent of home missions be con-
tinued. Later in the day the synod abol-
ished the office but continued Superntend-
ent Hays until January. The collections
for foreign missions amounted to 81, $3.50, of
which $1O21S was from the women's So
cietieS.
Mr.. John H. Holiday, of Indianapolis adj
dressed the synod in behalf of Mccormick
Seminary in Chicago. The school originated
at Hanover and was for twenty years at
New Albany. 1t has been supported by the
Mccormick family. who this year will give
5000, but they feel that the churches should
assist to some extent. Nine out of ten of
the $50 students come from poor families.
Rev. r. " Hunter, Rev. r. M. Stevenson
and Rev. John F. Baird were elected trus-
tees of Hanover College.
The synod will meet in Muncie next year.
Tonight there a popular meeting on
home missions and addresses were made
by Rev. j. Cummings Smith and Rev. r. v.
Hunter of Indianapolis.
In the report of the judiciary committee
the case Of the Presbyterian Church against
Hervey E. McCaslin, of Franklin, at the
instance of Elder c. d. Van Neys of the
Franklin Church, was referred back to the
committee.

A RUSSIAN CHOSEN.
Nj. Maertens to Be Umpire in the Brit
ish-VenezueIan Disnute.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13-The interna-
tional court of arbitration, which is to pass
on the British-Venezuela boundary, has
been completed by the selection of NJ
Maertens. a distinguished Russian jurist,
as umpire, and arrangements are being
made for the assembling of the court at
Paris during the late summer or fall of
next year. In the meantime the briefs of
Great Britain and of Venezuela are being
prepared, but none of the papers have yet
been submitted. M. Maertens will act not
only as umpire, but also as president of the
court. The announcement that an Euro
pean umpire had been chosen was made in
these dispatches some time since, sbut the
name has been withheld until the sanction
of the Car could be secured for NJ.
MaertenS'S services as arbitrator. Great
Britain and Venezuela each submitted list
of distinguished jurists who would be ac-
Ceptable TO 1t as umpire These embraced
the most noted men of Europe but it is a
tribute to M. Maertens that his was the
only one on the lists Of both countries.
M. Maertens's reputation as authority
on international law is worldwide, and has
led to his frequent selection as arbitrator
and umpire in international differences. He
is an official of the Russian Foreign Office,
professor of international law at the Uni
versity of ST. Petersburg, and author of
MaertenS'S Treaties, the standard book of
reference on all the treaties of the world.
Little doubt is felt to his acceptance.
Professor Maertens was one of the dele
gates named by the Russian government to
represent it at the approaching conference
to be held in this city TO consider the condi-
tons of seal life in the north Pacific. 1t is
understood that his selection as the fifth ar
bitrator and head of the commission makes
it impossible for him to participate in the
Washington conference, so that the Russian
interests in the meeting probably will re-
main in the care of Mr.. Botlxine and the
two delegates who will sit with him.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
GREENSBURG, Ind. Oct. 13.-The Bap-
fist convention is one of the largest meet
ings held by the denomination for some
years. Every train arriving in this city to-
day has brought newcomers. The Baptists
of Greensburg and the citizens who are as
sisting them in the entertainment are doing
their work well. 1t was thought after the
large and enthusiastic meeting of last night
the interest would hardly be as great to-day
but the programme for the ministers con-
ference was good one and drew a very
large attendance. The first address was by
Rev. A. A. Cober, of Elkhart, on 1.-THE Pas
tor and the Denominations Paper" The
speaker demonstrated how the pastor might
use the UNCONVENTIONAL paper to interest
and develop the church members. 1t was
carefully prepared and heard with closest
attention Leaving Church-How Not to
Do IT, was the subject of a fine paper by
Rev. j. A. Knowlton, pastor at Washington.
Mr.. Knowlton has recently received call
to become pastor of the First Baptist
Church Of Franklin, and in accepting this
call will likely demonstrate what he said in
his paper.
The thing that captured the great conven-
ton was the address by Rev. D. ]. Ellison,
-. ~, VI IAS Il lISL BdpllSI OHuICH
apolis, on Some Successful Methods in
Church Work. The address was a simple
setting forth of the methods put in opera
ton by Dr. Ellison in his own church.
state missions was the general subject for
conslderation at the afternoon session. Rev.
Alpert Ogle, superintendent of missions in
Indiana, presented his report the main
facts of which were given in the last is
sue or the Journal. There was great inter-
est awakened in the discussion of the re-
port. The afternoon session closed with an
address by Prof Shaler Mathews, of Chi
cago University, on Jesus in the Light of
His Times" DR. Mathews has recently
spent year in the Holy Lam and gave his
hearers much information, drawn from his
own experience
The attendance had become so large that
the convention was compelled to meet in
the rink. State Missions a Supreme Duty
or Bapusts," was the topic on which Hon.
y. r.. Stevenson, of Indianapolis, gave a
first-class, address. Rev. William Thomas,
pastor of the First Baptist Church of
Evansville; spoke on The Potential
Church" This was a fitting close for the
session. Thursday forenoon will be devoted
to the subject of education, at which Pres
ident w. T. Stott, and Rev. o. A. Cook will
be the principal speakers.

ATTAINED HIS DESIRE
ASSOCIATE JUSTICE STEPHEN j.
FIELD READY TO RETIRE.
He Has EcIfpsed the Record of Mar
shall on the Supreme Bench-Rus-
sian Selected as Umpire.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-Justice S. j..
Field of the United States Supreme Court,
it is believed by many of his friends, will
announce his retirement from the Supreme
Court bench some time during the present
term. though he himself would say nothing
about the matter for publication when
newspaper men called at his residence to-
day. 1t has been his ambition to eclipse
the record of Chief Justice Marshall for
length of service on the Supreme Court
bench and in this ambition he was success
full during the past summer. He was ap-
pointed in 1863 to his present position, and
being now nearly eighty-one years old. has
been eligible for retirement on full pay for
nearly eleven years. He has been in feeble
health for several years, but has continued
in service, though for some time past his
attendance has been rather irregular and
he has not taken as active a part as form
erly in the preparation of opinions. Now
that he has passed Chief Justice Marshall S
record he has had retirement under serious
consideration, and it is thought that an
announcement will be made before long
that he has taken this course. Attorney
General McKenna as regarded as being al
most certain to succeed Justice Field.
Both came from California.
A reporter called at Justice Fields resi-
dence to-day, but the justice excused him
self, sending down word that he was not
feeling we'll Mrs Field would neither con-
firm nor deny reports of her husbands inn
pending retirement, though giving the i'm
preston that it was at least under serious
Amusement. At the Supreme Court it was
said that nothing was known there on the
subject, and that any announcement must
come from Justice Field himself. That
members of the court believe the justice
will decide to make way for younger and
more active man is shown by the fact that
they have postponed hearing of several inn
portant cases until the beginning Of the
new year, by which time it is thought
quite likely Justice Field may have retired
and his successor be in office, though, of
course, it is possible that Justice Field
may in the end decide to remain in the Of
flee, a decision he reached several times in
the past when his retirement was contem-
plated by himself. Among the cases post
poned by the Supreme Court were the suits
involving the constitutionality of the anti
trust law of Texas and several cases APP
pealed from the court of private land

PRIZE FIGHTER KILLED
WALTER GRIFFIN KNOCKED OUT
FOR GOOD BY JACK CUMMINGS.
Fatal Outcome of u Boxing Bout at
New Orleans for the Benefit of
the Fever Sufferers.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 13-The new Tu-
lane Athletic Club was opened last night
with a big benefit for the INDECENT yellow
fever patients and families in the city. An
attractive programme, including boxing
bouts, was arranged, and among these was
a contest between Jack Cummings and
Walter Griffin. Both are local men, and
both had been training to fight for some
time. There was much interest in the con-
test, and large crowd was on hand. Prof.
Duffy was the referee. The fight was of
the whirlwind order from start to finish,
and both men gave and received much pun
ishment Each was fairly clever Fifteen
rounds were fought, but before the end Of
that time both of the fighters were in an
apparent state of exhaustion, and physi-
clans and others had made efforts prior
to the fifteenth round to bring the battle
to a close.
In the fifteenth round Griffin hit Cum
mings a hard punch and the latter sank
to the floor, not from the effects of the
blow, but from lack of vitality. He was
picked UP and carried to his corner and
thence to his dressing room. He complained
that his head hurt; asked that he be laid
on his stomach and became unconscious.
From that time he never spoke audibly.
Physicians were summoned and made an
examination of the man. DIR. Bloom, of the
Charity Hospital. said that the mans in
juries were fatal, and that he was suffering
with hemorrhage OF the brain and possibly
concuSsiOn. An ambulance was called and
the poor fellow was taken to the Hotel
Deu. The best of attention was given him,
but at 4:15 o'clock this morning he died.
Griffin had also been badly punished and
was taken to his home. Policemen were
sent to watch by Griffin's bedside. When
Cummings death was announced he was
placed under arrest Cummings was a mo-
torman and Griffin is the son of a police
officer. The former had been married but
seven months The fatal termination of
the fight may have an effect on the scheme
to revive boxing contests, and may prevent
the Northumberland fight on Monday
night next.
