FRIGHTENED PEOPLE
TIP OVER A STOVE AND BURN
THE CHURCH
An Indiana Kid illustrates His Faith
er's Sermon on the Devil With
Disastrous Results

CHICAGO, Jan. ia special to the
Times Herald from Bourbon, Ind, says:
Rev. Mr.. Akin, pastor of the flock of
the Bethel church, on Sunday night took
for his theme, His Satanic Majesty"
He is an eloquent man, and he painted
the arch-fiend in vivid colors. At the
climax of the description being, dress
ed to represent the devil with large
head and switching tail, ambled up the
aisle, blowing smoke from it's nostrils,
and believing: Il am the devil and
want all of you.'
The audience became panic-stricken
Men, women and children were hurled
to the floor and trampled upon in a mad
rush for the door. In the confusion the
stove was upset and the building caught
fire. Before the Mortified members had
regained their senses the fire had made
such headway that all attempts to save
the church were in vain.
This morning George Akin, son of the
pastor, confessed that he, in company
with other boys, rugged up DEVILS suit
and, knowing the subject of his fathers
sermon, concealed himself behind chair
and awaited the arrival of the audience.

The Bohemian Diet

PRAGUE, Bohemia, Jan. 17.-Stormy
scenes were witnessed at the session of
the diet today. Codenhove made a
statement in which he asserted that both
the German and the Czech languages
were entitled to equal recognition, and
he had prepared and would introduce
measures dividing the country into dis
tricts in which the official language
should be the predominating one, and
where nationalities were equally divid-
ed, both languages would be employed
in the conduct of official business
Therefore, he declared. all officials
should be able to speak both, and legls-
lation would be directed to teaching
both in the intermediate schools. This
statement gave rise to angry protests
Further conflicts have occurred in the
streets.

Handicap Billiards

CHICAGO, Jan. 17.-Frank Ives and
William Cation played the opening

ment tonight in Central Music hall. II

mills, and at Lewiston, Me-, where one
mill was crippled by 400 weavers stay
ing out. The general wage reduction is
estimated to affect $4,000 persons in
about 1b0 mills. Tonight finds the tex
tile operatives everywhere intently in
terested in the New Bedford struggle,
for there the real strength and the en-
durance will come, and upon the out
come will depend the question of an in
dustrial battle the entire length and
breadth of the New England states. The
chief point in this battle will be dis
cipline.
From the point of view of the mill
owner, the New Bedford situation is now
a lockout. Intervention by the state
board of arbitration this week is hardly
likely to be allowed, and no overt act
on the part of the strikers and no at
tempt to open a mill is expected for a
number of days.
The New Bedford strikers will receive
strike money from operatives elsewhere,
but the sum total will be reserved until
a protracted battle brings on want and
hardship, which the unions will then try
to relieve.
All the New Bedford mills opened at
the usual time, when no help came in,
lights went out, speed stopped, overseers
and second hands prepared to make
everything snug and mill gates were
closed indefinitely The labor unions did
little work today except to carry out
plans of campaign, which will be devel-
oped only as faint hearted weavers seek
to return to work. OF the other strikes
little had been developed in them as yet
to forecast the future.
Taking the days events throughout
New England, 1t may conservatively be
said that the negotiations came to pass
just as expected. 1t is the immediate
future which awakens apprehensions.

Murdered for Money

ST. .CHALASTIQUE, Quebec Jan. IT,
The trial of Mrs. Isidore Poirer and Sam
uel Parslow, accused of the murder of
the woman's husband, was opened here
today. The crown will attempt to prove
that an intimacy existed between the
two prisoners, and that the woman in
duced her husband to take out an insur-
ance policy. Then she wrote to the in
surance people. desiring to know If the
death of her husband by poisoning or
assassination would invalidate the pol
icy; and, on being assured that it would
not, Parslow and she murdered the un-
fortunate man by cutting his throat,
afterward disposing of the body so as to
make it appear that Poirier had COM
mitted suicide.

THE BOY MURDERER
Certainly Criminal, But Is Possibly
Insane

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 17.-Samuel
Henderson, the 15-year-old boy who is
charged with the murder of 5-year-old
Percy Lockyar, was committed to prison
today by Magistrate Johnson to await
the action of the coroner. There seems
little doubt now that Henderson brutally
hacked the boy to pieces, and before life
was extinct threw him in Reddies creek
and weighted the boy down with heavy
stones. Today's hearing was not with
out its sad scenes. The boy, apparently
unconscious of the extent of his crime,
stared stolidly at the magistrate, while
his father knelt at his side and wept
over and caressed his boy. Mr.. Hender-
son believes his boy guilty, but asserts
that he is not in his right mind. Samuel
had an attack of typhoid fever some
years ago, and his father maintains that
he has acted strangely ever since.
