THREE WRITE MEN LYNCHED
A Father and His Two sons-Harbored
Murderer,

Houston, Tex, May 25.-Three white
men, James Humphreies and his two
sons, were lynched last night near the
village of Alley, Henderson county. Sew
eral months ago Constable Melton of
the Alley precinct was murdered by a
man who had committed a crime and
whom he was attempting to arrest. The
people searched the country, but failed
to find the murderer. The Humphreies
were known to have been on friendly
terms with the fugitive and were sus-
pected of having aided him to escape.
A few days ago the murderer was seen
in the neighborhood and arrangements
to effect his capture We're made. The
Humphreies are accused of having har-
bored the murderer and assisting him
in making his second escape. This en-
ragged the people and the lynching of
the Humphreies was decided upon. Last
night thirty masked men appeared at
the Humphreies homestead and took
the father and two sons away. To-day
the bodies of the three men hanging
from limb Of tree, about three miles
from the Humphreies farm, were found.

The news of the election of Prof. Had
ley to the presidents chair quickly per-
vaded the campus and in a short time
after an impromptu parade had been
begun Over thousand students of all
departments of the university were in
line in less than fifteen minutes, and
they proceeded to the residence of
Prof Hadley to extend their congratu
lations. AS they proceeded they made
the welkin ring with college songs and
cheers. AT Prof. Hadley's residence
the long Yale cheer with his name on
the end was given with q will, and in
response to enthusiastic calls for a
speech he responded as follows:
"Gentlemen: l thank you cordially
and with all my heart for your prompt
readiness to share the responsibility of
making Yale's third century worthy of
her first and second. l say this in all
seriousness, for Yale depends for her
success not upon any one man or group
OF men, but upon the cooperation of all
her sons, and | am glad to be able to
rely upon this now and in the years to
come. | have seldom found it so hard
to know what to say. This is too serious
an occasion for light speech and too
light for serious one. / can only close
as l began, with heartfelt thanks and
good wishes" Returning to the cam
pus an enormous bonfire was built and
the students danced about it and sung
college songs for several hours. From
this enthusiastic impromptu demonstra-
tion it is taken that the election of
Prof. Hadley is a popular one with the
underga duates

BRITISH MARINES NOTLANDED.
Not Permitted to Take Part In Exer-
cises Mt Tampa

Washington, May 25.-No department
of the government is responsible for
any failure on the part of the marines
attached to the British cruisers Intrepid
and Pearl to land at Tampa, Fla, and
participate In the parade there yester-
day in honor of the queens birthday.
The British government itself was the
objector and negatived the request for
permission to land the marines. Some
days ago request was received at the
war department from the persons in
charge of the Tampa demonstration
asking for permission to land the ma
rines from the British ships with their
arms. The war department has no au-
thority in such cases, but promptly re-
ferred the request to the state depart
ment. The latter as promptly gave it's
consent, or rather that of the president.
But at this point the British embassy
interviewed, and having first communi-
Gated with the home government ad-
dressed polite note to the state depart
ment informing 1T that the proposed
landing could not be sanctioned.
The note stated that Lord Salisbury
had referred the application to the ad-
miralty board, together with the en-
dorsement OF the Gritish embassy in
Washington favorable to the request
At the instance of the admiralty board
Lord Salisbury replied that it was con-
trary to regulations that armed parties
from her majesty's ships should land
for such purposes and on that account
her majesty's admiralty board did not
feel able to sanction departure from
the general practice and rule The note
closed with an expression of deep ap-
probation for the motives that impelled
the citizens in Tampa to make the re-
quest and of regret that it could not be
granted

FATE OF PROF. M'GlFFERT
ACTION TAKEN BY PRESB YTERLAN
GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
The Case Placed In the Hands of the
Presbytery of New York After n Tu-
multuous and Sometimes Personal
Session-Church Hopes to Steer Clear
of Another Heresy Trial.

Minneapolis, May 25.-In the hands of
the Presbytery of New York rests the
fate of Rev. DR.. Arthur C. McGiffert,
professor of church history in the Union
Theological seminary, New York. The
general assembly of the Presbyterian
church steered clear, as it hopes, of an
other heresy trial when it voted this
afternoon, after a tumultuous and
| sometimes personal debate, to refer the
York ''for such disposition as in its
judgment the peace Of the church and
the purity of the doctrine may require. T"
When the bills and overtures of the
committees report were announced this
afternoon by Vice Moderator l.. /. Gra
ham a profound silence held over the
assembly and the packed galleries. DIR.
Wallace Radcliffe of Washington, chair
man of the committee, read first that
part of the report on which all members
of the committee agreed. 1t was a re-
view of the case and a statement of
four fundamental doctrines of the
church which DR.. McGiffert's History
of Christianity in the Apostolic Age is
held to deny. Next DR.. Radcliffe read
the majority's report, and then it was
known at last that there We're to be two
reports. The majority report, which
was ultimately adopted, left the matter
to the discretion of the New York Pres
hyterv.
The minority report, read by Or. Ben
jamin Louis Hobson of Chicago, made
it mandatory upon the New York Pres
bytery to appoint committee to con-
fer with DR.. McGiffert, and, if he would
neither modify his views nor peaceably
withdraw from the church, proceed
against him in accordance with the. pro-
visions of the constitution of the church.
That would have meant a heresy trial.
Before taking up the debate the whole
assembly voted for the preamble on
which all agreed. From this scene of
unanimity the aspect was soon changed
to one of tumult. The preamble was
frequently spoken of this afternoon as
a magnificent new confession of faith.
a doctrinal deliverance that the Presby-
terian church is still theologically sound
to the core.

BOX CAR WENT no PIECES.
One Attached to Canal Road Trhtn
Last Night. ee

The Canal road was blocked for some
time last night by the breaking UP OF ii
box car which was attached to freigf7tA
train due in this city shortly after IL
o'clock. The car had toppled over To
one side and was striking the bridge
abutments under which it passed and
was rapidly going to pieces when 1t was
noticed by the trainmen just above the
State street bridge. The train was att
once stopped and the wrecked car stop
ped under the Court street bridge. Sew
eral trains on the main line were de-
layed a few minutes while the tracksI
were examined to see that no debris
from the broken car had fallen upon the
tracks of the main line which adjoin
those of the Canal road below the State
street bridge. The trainment last night
could give no reason for the breaking
up Of the car A gentleman who stood
at the Munson street crossing as the
train passed stated that he heard an ex-
plosion, which seemed to come from the
train, and that he noticed that a box
was on fire and that the blaze reached
up to the wocd work of the car.

At 5 o'clock the destruction of the

direct their efforts more particularly
to the district north of Main street, and

it not been noticed by the sergeant and
patrolman when it was. Fifteen white

smoke and burned. The officers were on

CONFERENCE AZ THE HAGUE.
Meeting of Committees Oh Warfare
Petitions of Women.

The Hague, May 25.-Both sections of
| of the peace conference met separately
| to-day and began the examination of
Cross section discussing paragraph five
| and paragraph six of the circular of
Count Muravieff, Russian minister of
foreign affairs, and the Brussels con-
ference section discussing paragraph
seyen. Both sections met subsequently
and discussed the question of compe-
tence as regards the scheme for the re-
vision of the Geneva convention known
as the Morgnier scheme The Morgnier
scheme comprises notifications of the
Geneva convention in connection with
wounded and sick prisoners, members Of
the military hospital service, conveys
for the wounded ambulances hospitals
property belonging to neutralized per-
sons, religious and medical staff and
kindred subjects. The scheme applies
equally to land and sea warfare
1t was proposed to submit the scheme
to another committee for revision, and
the question was then raised whether
the conference was competent to deal
with the matter. Those who took
negative view argued that the confer
ence had decided in principle, and all
the governments represented had agreed
that nothing should be submitted to the
conference beyond the eight points in
the circular of Count Muravieff. They
contended that if the conference once
infringed this rule precedent would
be created leading to numerous difficult
ties, including probably the springing
of the Armenian, Macedonian and sim
llar questions. upon the conference. 1t
was also pointed out by the opponents
of the proposal to refer that as the
Morgnier scheme dealt mostly with the
wounded and with hospitals, it would
be impossible to discuss the proposed
notifications effectively without the CO.
operation of doctors, who alone would
be capable of deciding many of the
points in issue. There is no man of
medical training among the delegates.
The committee finally adjourned with
out reaching decision There is no
truth in the statement that proposal
has been submitted to the conference to
the provisions of the deelara-
tion of Paris of 1886 regarding the pro-
lection of private property in time of
