EATON SCORES CHURCHES.
Chicago Professor Talks of Their Re
tarding Influence.

Philadelphia, Nov. 17.-Prof. Seymour
Eaton of Chicago last night created the
liveIiest sort of a sensation in an ad-
dress on 1.-THE Retarding Influence Of
the Church. which he delivered before
the Laymen's association of the Metho-
dist church of Philadelphia. Indeed.
Prof Eaton so stirred the churchmen,
both clergymen and laymen, who were
present, that one of the former said:
IF L did not know the brother to be
a Christian I should suspect that Rob-
ert G. Ingerson or one of his emissaries
had been addressing u.s.
Prof. Eaton said in substance that the
church of today is being dragged along
by the world instead of leading the lat
ter; that it is tying up contributions six
days in the week to pay for sermons
and prayers on the Sabbath, instead of
employing its means six days in hos
pita.ls and schools and aiding the Door;
and that in the Methodist church par
ticularly, just before conference time.
the farce of forcing a revival was re-
sorted to, which resulted in "a rake off
of six or seven impressionabIe boys and
girls" who were as good as ordinary
church members, anyway.
There were some very sharp retorts
to Prof. Eaton's address, and none of
the clergymen who heard it approved

ARE NOT STOWAWAYS.
Wives of Kansas Officers Paid
Their Fares on the DOric.

Kansas City, Nov. 1.-TWO days be-
fore the Indiana left San Francisco,
Mrs. Fred E. Buchan and Mrs. ]. S.
a passenger boat, for Hong Kong. From
there they will go to Manila and the two
women will be in the Philippines sever
al days before their husbands, both Of
whom are in the service of the United
States volunteer army
This is the true story of a very ro-
mantle affair." which, it seems, has be-
come badly twisted in various newspa-
pers throughout the land. Not long ago
newspaper accounts of two women
stowaways were sent broadcast
throughout the United States. 1t was
reported that Mrs. Buchan and Mrs.
Schlieman had secretly boarded the In
diana, determined to accompany their
husbands to the Philippines. The story
gained circulation that the war depart
ment ordered the women to be taken off
the boat at Honolulu.
Winfield Freeman, an attorney of
Kansas City, KaS., has received a LETT
ter from his son, Frank Freeman, who
is with the Twentieth Kansas. Young
Freeman says that the story of the two
women stowaWays is ridiculous. He
says that both took passage on the Dor
ic, which is a very fast boat, and that
no thought of their going on the Indiana
was ever entertained.
1.-THE boys in Company B, said young
Freeman, ARE all laughing at the RI
prise for the government officials at

that time the bank had but 151h; at that
time it was within a, few thousand do4-
lars of the end.
When a local paper published state
ments of the three other banks OF the
city showing that they had an aver
age of As per cent of their deposit on
hand in cash. the statement of the First
National was omitted; at that time 1t
was a little over Is per cent. A special
bank examiner was here at the end OF
the summer and spent considerable
time trying to get the assets Strafghten-
ed out; it was current gossip at the
time that he found the assets in Such
shape that the losses on them would
nearly wipe out the banks surplus OF
800 COO, but this was only street gossip
and there may not be anything in 1t;
still it prevailed, and even 1t did not
shake confidence in the institution. Peo-
pie seemed to be inspired by an i'm
plicit faith in the business sf.gaclty or
the directors of the institution
So firm was this faith that, although
the city and the county funds were
there, there was no talk Of withdrawing
them and comparatively little money
was taken out by private individuals.
So late as last week every member OF
the committee of ladies, who are get
ting UP the Ladies' Lecture course voted
unanimously to deposit $1,000 of their
mOney-au that they had-in the First
National; this will be tied up until the
bank affairs are Strengthened. The
amount of the city'S deposit is $1,043 and
d. NJ. Davis is the city treasurer; his
bondsmen are VIM. Martindale, Chas.
Cross and H. c. Whitley. From these
bondsmen it would seem that upon the
banks SOlVency will rest the city s
money independent of the bondsnen.
The amount of the county deposit is
1920 and Mr.. Ryan's bOndsmen are

National Quarantir Convention As

Memphis, Tenn, Nov. 1.-THE national
quarantine convention assembled here to-

arriving with each incoming train. A
majority of the delegates are from the
southern states more affected by the vis-
itatiOn of yellow fever, as they were asked

other sections. There are delegates from
the north, west and east The subject
with which the convention is to deal is one

states from invasions of infectious and
contagious diseases.

DIPPING FAILS.
Texas Fever Rendered More
Acute by the Process.

St Louis. Mo-, Nov. IA special to
the Globe-Democrat from Macon, Mo,
says:
Prof J. w. Conway of Columbia uni
versity has made a post mortem examina-
ton of the eight dead cattle on George
Richardson's farm, near here. Richard
son purchased Y head at East st. Louis,
where they were dipped in the watts Fri
day. Seventeen head have, died since
then and a number of the others are ex-
pected to. Richardson thought the result
was caused by the dipping. Prof Con
way pFonOunces it Texas fever, and he
thinks the dipping had no effect, except
possibly to make the disease little more
acute. The cattle were imported from
Victoria county, Texas. Conway suggests
that imported cattle, after going through
the dipping process, should be well shell
tered and given soft feed. He took some
parts of the dead animals with him for
further examination.

DIED ON THE STAGE.
Ethel Marlowe Victim of Heart Dis
ease.

New York Nov. 17.-Ethe1 Marlowe, a
cousin of Julia Marlowe, died at the
Knickerbocker theater last night during
a performance of 1.-The Christian in
which she took the part of Polly Love.
She was a years old.
Tt was at first thought she had tainted,
and messengers were sent flying for re-
storatives and doctors.
Within a few minutes the physicians ar
in vain. Later they diagnOsticated the
case as heart disease, and gave their opin-
ion that Miss MarlOWe was dead when she
fell from the stool.
While all this was happening the act
on the stage came to a conclusion. Then,
the audience knowing nothing of the tragic
happening behind the curtain, the final
act was begun.
The audience, in ignorance of it all, in
sisted upon a curtain call and the drop
went up. The applause continued. Viola
Allen made a plying gesture and the
stage manager came before the curtain
once more and said that he was about
to call for a physicians aid, but that it
not now necessary. The hidden sig
nificance of the speech was not under
stood, but it had the effect of causing the
audience to disperse.
Ethel MarloWe came of an old and the
atrical family. Her father was the late
Owen Marlowe, who played with excellent
name of Mrs. Owen Marlowe, is member
of the James K. Hackett company, play
ing old woman parts. The late Virginia
Marlowe, a sister of Ethel, was also an
actress. Ethel Marlowe was a cousin, not
q sister, of Julia MarloWe.

of the bank by her son c. S.
There is a large feeling of hope yet in
the outcome. Patrons of the bank have
such confidence in the business record
of the past in the Cross family and also
in William Martindale that they believe
the bank is not in such bad condition as
would be indicated by the failure.
The total liabilities reach s7OO.OOO The
assets are supposed to nominally equal
that amount. A larger amount of the
foreclosures and other securities which
are not regarded as being worth the
amount for which they are held. This
creates at once a deterioration in the as
sets of the institution, yet the people
hope that it will pay out in full both to
depositOrs and stockholders.
William Martindale, vice president of
the bank, repeatedly assures his pat
rons that this will be true. r. D. Thom-
as, D. NJ. Davis, H. H. White. directors,
and many of the stockholders are well
known business men here, are old citi-
zens of excellent standing and own much
property. The fact that they are all
liable for double the amount of their
stock has quieted in a measure the
alarm which the depOsitOrs have felt.

ing the four years since her husband
died, has shed bitter tears and refused
to be comforted by either her son or

WHERE is
JORDAN?
Mystery of the Important Wit
ness's Escape
Remains Impenetrable-What
the County Attorney Thinks.
JORDAN WENT AWAY
With Edith Bevins, and Officers
Looking For Her.
Collins Trial Can't Go On
Without Jordan.

No trace of Johnson Jordan has yet
been discovered. County Attorney Jet
more received d letter from Alma today
stating that he had not been seen there.
He had hoped that he would hear of
JORDAN at that place as he has numer-
GUS relatives around Alma
County Attorney JetmoTe said today
that he feels considerable apprehension
concerning Jordan but still hopes that
ne may be found before the day fixed
for the trial Mr.. Jetmore was in Law
renee Wednesday but he says he was
not looking for Jordan. He heard moth
ing of him at that place
The fact is that since Jordan was re-
leased by the Newton authorities about
two weeks ago he has disappeared as
completely as if he had fallen into a
bOttomless pit. 1t was reported that
Jordan was seen in Topeka after his
release but Mr.. Jetmore thinks that he
has not been here.
County Attorney Jetmore said that he
had a conference with Jordan after he
was released from the Newton Jail and
he said that he did not believe it would
be a good plan for him to come to To-
peka. He did not say where he would
go but as he had no money it is presum-
ed that he could not go far. He told
me he would be here in time for the
trial all right" said Mr.. JetmOre, and
I still hope to see him here though I
confess that feel some degree Of ap-
prehensiOn concerning him"
Letters have been written to Emporia
Jordan been seen since the day he was
released from the Newton Jail. The at
torneys for the prosecution in the Col
Inns case hope that he is in hiding to
keep away from the detectives employ
ed by the defense but they are fearful
that there is another motive which is
governing his action.
When Jordan disappeared the woman,
Edith Bevins was with him and the at
torneys hope that through her they may
be able to find trace of him even though
he has been induced by some one to
leave the state.
It is ridiculous to say that the Collins
trial can go on without Jordan and that
his testimony given at the preliminary
hearing can be used in the trial of the
case. AS long as Johnson Jordan is
alive his testimony can only be given
on the witness stand by the witness
himself
County Attorney Jetmore said today
that Jordan will be found some time.
If he is not at the trial we can find him
before the case would be called again
and he ought to know that. He will be
found if we have to hunt the country
over for him. Mr.. Jet1nore has no desire
to try the case without Jordan and if he
is not here on November 2S he will ask
for a continuance.

PUBLIC POLICY LEAGUE.
Is the Name of a New Organization
to Secure Better City Government

Chicago, Nov. 17.-Chicago tax payers
are asked to join a national Organiza-
ton in the interest of good municipal
government. It was proposed to orga-
niZe the property owners of every city
throughout the country for the purpose
of checking vicious municipal legisla-
tion and the punishment OF men WhS
betray public trust.
One of the features is agitation for a
uniform system of. bookkeeping in every
public office. Equality of tax assess
nue. laws are to be assured when the
Chica go public policy league becomes a
branch of similar organizations through
out the United States. The new league
will stand for civil service and COM
petence before politics.
DR.. S. A. Robinson, chairman of the
finance committee of the New York
board of trade, and Allen r. FOOte oe
Washington, are now making a tour OF
the country to arouse interest in the
project.
They say they have met encourage
ment everywhere and that in Chicago
a number of citizens have signed the
roster for the Chicago branch of the
league.
Mr.. Foote says:
There will be a meeting of the Ma
tional Municipal league of Civic Fedora
tions at Indianapolis the last of this
month, and at that aSSemblage shall
fully define the objects of the public
policy league and will doubtless receive
the cooperation of the former organfza-
tfOn to perfect branches in every city
New York, Boston, Philadelphia St
Louis, Cincinnati and other great mu-
inequalities are organizing and we pro-
pose to have a national body whose
power will mean good government in
every city of this country"
The league is to be non-sectarian and
non-partisan. The constitution pro-
vides, in addition to the objects of the
league previously named, that it will
see that the objects for which funds are
collected from tax payers are properly
and honestly expended; that all collec-
tiOns and expenditures are fully and
correctly accounted for, and municipal
property cared for and used exclusive
ly for public purposes.

families live side by side while the little
daughter of Charley Cross by his first
wife has lived with her grandmother.
Except with the little girl Mrs. H. c.
Cross has lived alone. The friends of
the family are much alarmed at her

the shock and the same is true of Mrs.

Mr.. Cross had insurance on his life
