GREENE SUCCEEDS WHITsITT.
Friend of Deposed Seminary President
Selected BY Convention.

The Southern Baptist convention in
Louisville unanimously elected DR.. J.
P. Greene, president of William
Jewell college, of Missouri, to the
presidency Of the Southern Baptist
seminary, Of Louisville.
DR.. Greene's unanimous election is
due in great measure to the with
drawal of DR.. F. Fl. Kerfoot, who, in
a letter to the board of trustees, re-
quested that his name should not APP
pear as a candidate for the Office.
This election is very clearly sue
cess for the Whitsittfactio DR.. Greene
having been a candidate friendly to
both sides in the controversy, but
supported especially by the Whitsitt-
ties in their effort to defeat DR.. Kerr
foot. DIR. Greene, DIR. Kerfoot and
Professor J. r. Sampo were the only
strong candidates for the place.
DIR. Kerfoot's letter was received
with evident approval by the members
of the board, and his action in declin-
ing to permit his name to appear as a
candidate was highly commended.

Novel Scheme Of Cooperation Among Mln
nesoia 0Fala Growers

Novel Scheme Of Corporation Among Mln'
nssoia 0rala Growers.
The Grain Growers Cooperative As
sociatlon OF Minnesota held lts hrst
quarterly meeting recently IN Mime
apolls. 1t was organized IN March
and began corporate business March
9, and is ready now to do a conslgn.
ment business with It's members.
The central feature Of this organlza-
ton Is that no stock may be held by
individuals. The members are TO be
the country elevator associations, each
association having one vote without
regard to the amount Of stock which
may not be more than forty shares in
any case. The purpose of this restrlc-
ton is to prevent the association from
being turned to private profit In any
event.
There are now about one hundred
farmers elevator associations In Min
uesota, and a large number IN Dakota,
a number that is growing in both
States. This organization 10 not to en-
ter that field at all, but to leave to each
local association its independence.
This association is to be a central
organization which will handle the
grain for the local societies at the ter
minal points. If 1t works out as the
promoters hope, the farmers will have
in time their own elevators at every
shipping point, will conslgn their
wheat to the terminal elevators owned
by the local elevators in common, will
pay storage to themselves and return
commissions to themselves, and take
to themselves every middle profit there
is between the farmer and the mill,
and be able to hold their grain for the
best market.
For the present arrangements have
been made with a commission firm In
Minneapolis to act as a broker for the
wheat consigned to the Cooperative.
The associations share of the COM
missions is to cover expenses and one
fifth Of the earnings are to go towards
a building fund. From that and the
stock subscriptions Of the country as.
sociations they hope to build their ter.
minal elevators. Similar arrangements
will probably be made in Duluth.-St

GEN. GOMEZ IS NOW SILRING
INsURGEXT LEADERS, lNDIFFRR.
ENCR ANNOYs GEN. BROOKE.
The CUBAN ARMY NOT YET PAID.
Not willing TO Place Keeping Of Their
Arms In American Hands-Com-
missioners Hold Block

A special from Havana says: Gen
.eral Gomez is acting queerly regard
ing the distribution Of the 50, 900, 900
advanced by the United States gov
eminent for the payment of the Cuban
troops, and the commissioners chosen
by him to assist in the distribution as
representatives of the Fourth, Fifth
and Sixth army corps either refuse to
act or fail to appear. AS the arrange
ments to pay the soldiers have been
pending for three and half months,
further delay is especially annoying.
Generals Betancourt and Nodarse
were appointed to act for the Eighth
army corps, but the latter declined to
serve, and Major General Wilson, mill
itary governor Of the newly formed
Matanzas-S Santa Clara department,
asked that Betancourt be excused on
the ground of his holding the post of
civil governor of Matanzas, suggesting
to Governor General Brooke that Gen
eral Carlos Roias be selected. The
governor general thereupon wired
General Rojas at Cardenas, and the
latter accepted, arriving at Havana
Saturday.
General Rojas called upon the gov,
ernor general and in the course of a
pleasant interview promised to meet
the commissioners on Monday. Roias
then called upon General Gomez, and
an hour later wrote a note to General
Chaf6ee, General Brooke's chief of
staff, declining to serve, but giving no
reason for his action.
General Francisco GARLIC, one of
the commissioners Of the Fifth army
corps, arrived directly Friday, but did
not visit the American headquarters.
The commissioners did not make their
appearance and General Brooke sent
Captain Page to inquire of Gomez why
none of the generals were on hand.
In the interview with the governor
generals representative the Cuban
commander appeared indifferent, and
seemed not to care whether the coma
missioners came or not. He made nc
suggestions.
AS the United States authorities are
unable to begin the disbursement Of
the money without the assistance Of
the Cubans, General Brooke is aston
ished at the Indifference shown BY
Gomez.
The evening papers assert tina
Gomez is dissatisfied with the termi
of the governor generals order fol
payment, and did not consent to have
the arms of the disbanded troop
placed in the custody of the militar,
authorities. Saturday evening Gen
eral Brooke sent Major Kennon, Of hi
staff, to see Gomez regarding the sit
uation, Gomez declared that he wa
unable to explain why the general
would not serve, and expressed tn
belief that their action was due to tn
influence Of his enemies.

EarIlest Type Of DE BlcycIe.

Despite all the claims of the French
and English historians, the honor of
producing the first vehicle of a nature
similar to the modern bicycle belongs
to Germany. Away back in 1919 a
toymaker in Nuremberg, named Hugo
Hautsch, made a two-wheeled vehi-
Gle with which a person could propel
himself rapidly along the roads. Ten
years later these contriyances were in
common use in Nuremberg.
