TWO CANDIDATES FOR
BROWN PRESIDENCY.
Rev. DR.. Wood and Rev. DR.. FaunCe
Being Considered What SeleC-
ton of Either Will rIean.

Two candidates are now being care
fully considered for the presidency OF
Brown University-the Rev. Nathan T..
Wood, ID. d., pastor of the First Bap-
tlst church OF Boston, and the Rev
William Herbert Perry Faunce, ID. d.,
of New York city.
The election of either OF these men
means more than is generally supposed.
DR.. Faunce Is disposed TO give kindly
hospitality to the attitude of President
w. II. Harper, of Chicago University,
in the great controversy which is at
present raging over the inspiration OF
the Bible and the credbiity of the
story of Adam and the apple, and Jo-
nah.
DIR. Wood is the recognized leader OF
the opponents To the policy OF Presi-
dent Harper. Quite "A number of years
ago when these two men were In the
West, and when they were still young
men, they were brought face TO face i'm
"a heated contest, and the battle has
never been forgotten. This was when
Professor Harper was teaching at the
old University of Chicago before IL went
TO pieces for lack of funds. MIR. Harper
professor of Semetic languages. He
there gained a great reputation by his
lectures on the Hebrew language. He
declared that the study of the sacred
literature was neglected i'm our educa-
tional institutions, and went through
the country holding schools In which
ministers and students were encouraged
I'm the study OF the Semetic languages.
As the result of the name he won in
this work. Mr.. Harper was elected pres
ident OF Chicago University. Ultimately
he became the head. front and centre Of
what is called the destructive school Of
biblical criticism. In America, DR..
Wood led the opposition in the Baptist
denomination so far as this matter was
connected with education.
DIR. Wood holds to the traditional,
orthodox view that Moses wrote the
Pentetuch. that the children of Israel
came up out of Egypt, that David wrote
most of the psalms and that there was
but one Isaiah. DIR. Harper, on the
other hand, does not know that Moses
wrote the Pentetuch is not sure wheth-
er the children of Israel ever came up
out of Egypt, believes that David did
not even see most of the psalms, and
that there were from two TO twenty
lsaiahs who wrote the book bearing the
name.
Ii Will be just five years In May since
Dr. Wood and President Harper crossed
swords at the anniversaries of the Bap-
lists at Saratoga. Dr. Wood spoke on
what the Baptist denomination has a
right to expect from the educational
founded by it's men and
money. He maintained that no univer-
sity founded by the denomination
should be used TO undermine the faith

ROUNDED UP IN JERSEY.
Gang Of Check Forgers Who Operated
Here Caught al Newark.
lehr Made a Confession, In Which He
Said Crowd Raised More Than $4,000.

Newark, n. j., March 10.--One of the
most remarkable gangs of check forg-
ers that has ever been rounded up in
day and all but one held for trial in the
upper courts.
Every member of the gang is under
q, and one, Michael Lehr. is such an
expert penman that men whose sigma
lures he initiates cannot on prima facie
evidence tell the or. .ginal from the imi-
tation. The other members of the gang
are Joseph Miller and Michael Franks.
According To written confession by
Lehr and his verbal statement i'm court
yesterday, the gang has raised on bogus
checks more than $50, 900, operating in
nearly all the large cities Of the east.
After two members of the combina-
ton were arrested in Pennsylvania and
sent 10 prison for long terms. the re-
naming three, Miller, Franks and
Lehr jumped TO Providence, II. l.,
where they obtained $40O from banks.
They got Sl70 in Hartford and New Ha-
ven. and $40 in Worcester. Mass.
Suspicion was directed against them
in New England, as they had previous
ly raised $3.50 in Boston with forged
checks.
The only members of the gang not
held for trial here was Miller. He was
placed under bail for 10 days to await
charge from Providence.
Lehr's written confession and his
statement to the court are exceedingly
interesting. They show how when
young law student in New York he was
led by his companions to become
professional crook. They noted his won
derful skill with the pen, and agreed to
raise the money If he would write the
checks. His first crooked transaction
was three years ago, when he gave a
check on a New York bank in which he
had no collateral. He was hard up and
thought he could borrow money TO meet
the obligation, but he failed to raise
the amount and fed TO Boston.

with earnestness, while the others broke
out into cOnvulsions OF laughter.
DIR. Harper then came forward ana
said that he agreed perfectly with
what Or. Wood had said for an acad-
emy. but not for a university. Since
time the contest between the two par
ties-the conservative and the radical
element-has continued to rage, with
President Harper as the leader of one
wing and DIR. Wood of the other. DR..
Wood Is more liberal and broad-minded
in his views than most OF his followers.
Indeed, while he holds firmly TO the old
faith he gives hearty welcome 10 all

can bring forth.

His Heart Is on the Right Side.

Physicians in hospital at Omaha
discovered that the heart of John M.
Murphy, ore of the inmates, lies on the.
right instead Of the left side of his
body. Operations were at once begun
to transfer it to it's proper place. NJ
ply is accustomed to handling heavy
burdens and two years ago he observed
some startling change going on around
his heart. The~organ seemed to be-
slowly crowded toward his right side.
In the course of a year he found his
heart beating nearly in Inc center of
his body, and then it passed distinctly.
over to the right side. The doctors
performed an operation. They found
his heart had been crowded out of place
as the result of the formation of pus,
in the natural heart cavity. This was
drawn off, section of the ribs taken
out and the delicate organ pressed to-
wards the left. It could not be moved
much, but the surgeons think it will
gradually return to its accustomed
place. It is believed to be the only
case Of it's kind in medical history. z==
