that it was not the disease, while
one in particular claimed that it was.
AS the man on the Curb Stone is not

are not in position to say which of
the learned gentlemen of the pro-

DIR. BRIGGS FIRST STATEMENT
He Defends Himself on the Attacks
Made by Clergy

The first statement made by DR.. Briggs
as to his entrance into the ministry of the
Episcopal church follows below. 1t was
written by Bishop Clark, and has been
made public:
4 have not sought refuge in the Episco-
pal ministry. made the change because
1 was assured that the banner of church
unity was in the Protestant Episcopal
church, and nowhere else, and have con-
secrated my life to that cause. If 1 know
myself, hold to all the sacred deposit of
Catholic truth in the church, as we'll as in
Holy Scripture, and / shall do all in my
power to bring out that truth and main
tain it.
81 feel that my stury of Holy Scripture
and of Christian history, as we'll as my
own experience of Gods grace have led
me to see in Holy Scripture the divine
truth in somewhat different relations and
proportions from those in which ! was
trained. 1t has been my happy privilege
to know and work with some OF the noble
men of our age, Roman Catholic and Pro-
testant Lutheran and Calvinist, Method
ist, Presbyterian and Anglican, in most OF
the great universities of the world, and l
have been guided to recognize the living
Christian in them all.
81 think we are about to enter new age
of the world, and that these things will be
prominent in 1.-THE imminence OF God, the
living reigning Christ as priest and king,
and the presence of the spirit dwelling In
the individual, the practice of holy love,
the entire satisfaction, the union of saints
in this world and in the other world, and
the reconciliation and union of Christs
church.
"I have been brought to see these things
and regard them as the great banner prin-
ciples for the future. For them l stand

NEGRO BARBER KILLED
And Three Men Accidentally Shot in a
Melee

St. Louis. May 21,-A special to the Re-
public from Joplin, Mo-, says:
Andrew Woods, negro barber, was kill
ed In Main street at noon today, and three
white men were accidentally shot in the
melee. Dewitt Leonard, foreman of the
Chicago Consolidated mines, and one of
his men were walking along Main street.
Seeing Woods wife standing in a door,
Leonard asked her jestingly If she was
going to church, whereupon she struck
him stunning blow with her fist knock
ing him off the sidewalk. He returned the
blow and went on his way with several
companions. They were overtaken in the
next block by Andrew Woods with a pistol
in his hand. His wife told him that man
wearing white hat had struck her. With
out asking for information, Woods struck
with his pistol the first man he INST who
wore white hat. He struck another, an9
finally hit Leonard, knocking him down.
Officer King appeared and demaAded
Woods pistol. Woods refused to surreR-
der or give up his revolver. Some one In
the crowd said: xiii the Niger" when
Leonard snatched Kings pistol. The pro-
miscuous shooting then began. Woods was
shot In the shoulder and leg. Leonard
sent third bullet into the negro's heart,
killing him instantly. Three by-standers,
all white men, were hit by stray bullets.
Leonard has good reputation. Great ex-
citement exists among the negroes and
trouble is feared. The police are armed
with Winchesters ready to resist mob,

GERMANY AGAINST 1T
Nations Are Divided Over the Peace
Conference

London, May 22.-The Daily News pub
fishes dispatch from The Hague supposed
to be inspired by William T. Stead, editor
of the Review of Reviews which is in part
as follows:
Regarding arbitration the present posi-
ton of the delegates seems to be this:
Germany and the other powers of the triple
alliance are entirely against 1t and Turkey
follows in their wake. Great Britain and
the United States are entirely in favor of
it, Professor Won Stengel, of the German
delegation, said today: Arbitration is i'm
practicable when two nations are divided
by vital issue, while In less important
questions it exists already
"France is hesitating and will probably
agree with Russia. Several delegates con-
fess that they came to the conference un-
prepared and have already learned that
much"

Bennett from long and perious trip out
from Dawson over broken trails, open

Mr.. Tokales reports that the fire occur

near the opera house on the water front

driven by a strong wind, destroying every
thing in its way on that street down to

Covered Business Portion
The fire crossed the street, burned
through and spread over to Second street,
covering the principal business portion of
Dawson, leaving 1t all in ashes, with the
firemen helpless and powerless to do any
thing. The fire consumed everything from
the Simmons Royal Cafe down to and OPP
posite the Fairyiew hotel All the build

that they had been standing for nearly two
years, and the logs were as dry as powder.
The fire spread with such rapidity that
the people were unable to save anything in
the way of furniture. goods and clothing,
so that the losses when footed up promise
to be even greater than at first estimated.
Among the prominent firms burned out
are: Royal Cafe, Donahue & Smith, Nc
