ACCIDENT WAS UNAVOIDABLE.
Verdict of COrOner's Inquest Into
Irene Ber&erOn's Death.

Under the direction of Coroner Nelson
an inquest was yesterday held to investi-
gate the death Of Irene Bergeron, the
four-year-old child run over and killed
by an interurban car on University ave-
nue., near Kent street, Saturday after
noon. The jury found that the child
was the victim Of an unavoidable acct
dent The jury was composed Of
Charles ]. Krieger, Frank Yost. H. c.
Hertz. S. B. Conger, A. w. Caldwell and
A. w. Vance.
Only five witnesses testified John J..
Harty, proprietor of a grocery store at
SIT University avenue, in front Of which
the child was run over, was sworn but
possessed no knowledge of the accident,
having merely assisted in taking the lit
tie girl from under the car.
Mrs. Harty witnessed the accident She
said the child ran down bank from a
vacant lot on the south side Of the
street and started to cross. The car
was approa ching, but the child was run
ming so fast that she could not stop
and got to the track. Here the little
girl stumbled and fell, Mrs. Harry said,
when the car passed over her Mrs.
Harty said the car was running at about
the average speed at the time of the &C
cident, but declared the motorman, so
far as she could see, made no effort to
bring the car to a stop until after the
child had been run over. She said the
car was but short distance from the
child when the latter fell down, but
that there had been about three car
lengths in which to stop 1t If the effort
had been made when the girl left the
sidewalk
The testimony of o. B. Marshall. the
motorman, differed materially from Mrs.
Hartys statements. He said the car
was drifting along at a rate of speed
between six and twelve miles an hour, ex-
planning that by drifting" he meant
there was no current on. He saw the
child run off the sidewalk and said that
he instantly realized there was danger
and at once began trying to stop the
car. He said he threw on the reverse
lever and then put on the current, while
at the same time applying the brake. He
denied that he waited until the child
fell before trying to stop the car. Mar
shall said he did not attempt to lower
the fender as he considered the course
he followed was the quickest way to stop
the car. He said the car was between
two and three lengths away from the
child when she left the sidewalk
John Casperson, the conductor, knew
nothing Of the accident until after it
happened. but testified that he consid-
cred Marshall competent motorman. He
admitted that Marshall was not a regu-
larly employed motorman, but was run
ming extra
Miss Marie Bernard, living at 692 ST
Peter street. witnessed the accident. but
could give but little information as to
how it happened.

PROF. M'GIFFERTs CASE.
Prominent Presbyterians Ara,
JJr~o That II NJ no


Urge That 1t BE Dropued
NEW YORK. Nov. 13.-The case ~
Prof. Arthur c. McGiffert. of INIT,
Theological seminary, who is charged
with holding views that are in variance
with the doctrines Of the Presbyterian
cnurch, came before the presbyterv to-
day, and was referred to the general &c
sembly A committee was appointed last
July to confer with Prof. McGiffert and
preVa1f upon him to withdraw from tha
church, or at least modify his views
Meetings have been held which Prof
McG1Hert attended, but he steadfastIy
refused to recede from the stand he had
taken on certain church matters, saying
that he had been misunderstood. The
general assembly prepared expressly for
Prof. McGiffert's case an outline of the
fundamental principles Of the church.
These were:
THAT the statements of the HOLY
Scriptures are absolutely truthful. / o.
Tree from error when interpreted in ihejr
natural and intended sense
2-That in Jesus Christ there were two
Whoie' perfect and distinct natures God
h fH, and manhood. being inseperabiy
ooi1ieu together IN one person. without
not liable to error "''
3-That the Lords supper was insti-
I IesTs RS tne d1rect and personal act Of
until the end Of the world
4-Ihat God justified men by imnutino
t Tue ,opeolence and satisfaction Of Christ
70 70, them' they receiving and resting upon
HIM IN all His righteousness by faith
Wh1ch faith they receive as the gift Of
1t is only the last of these statements
that Prof McGIffert accepts as 1t stands.
Inc committee to which the matter
was referred was composed Of Rev. DR..
Robert F. Sample, chairman Rev. DR..
John 3. Shaw. Rev. Dr.. R. R. Booth
and Rev. DR.. H. c. Bliss, and the fol-
lowing elders: William Magic, Oscar E.
Boyd and Titus B. Meigs.
Mr. Boyd was the only one of the COM
mtttee absent at a meeting Of the com
mittee held just before the meeting Of the
presbytery. The report was volurnInous.
! its essence was that the case should be-
| referred to the general assembly which
meets In st. Louis next May. The re-
port was accepted and ordered to be
printed for private distribution among
the members Of the presbytery, and made
the order Of the day Of the December
meeting.
AT the conclusion of the reading Of
the report Prof. Francis Brown, Rev. DR..
Howard Agnew Johnson and Rev DR..
Henry Van Dyke read suggestions in
which 1T was advised that the contro-
versy over Prof. McGiffert be dropped.
DR.. Johnson's paper was heard first; then
Prof. Browns, and then DR.. Van Dykes,
then they were in substance read togeth-
er. DR.. Van Dyke said that while ma
jority did not agree with Prof McGif-
fert, the wisdom of a heresy trial was
doubtful and must result in harm to the
Presbyterian cause. In view Of prepara-
tons for a series of Presbyterian re-
v1vals in this city this fall and winter
the postponement of the discussion of
the subject and the reference to the
general assembly is thought desirable.

HANNA DID TT.

When asked what had produced the re-
cent result in Ohio. that great statesman.
orator and moralist, Marcus Aurelius
Hanna. answered. you mean who pro-
duced IT. don't your
The inference from the statesman's
question was obvious, even unaccom-
panied by the chucRle which goes with
all the cunning utterances of the great
man. 1t was Hanna that produced the
result in question. OF that there is no
longer any question. 1t was Immediately
and directly and personally he who pro-
dueed the result in Cuyahoga county.
And that result now appears to be one
which is certain to be fraught with big
results on the future of Marcus Aure1ius
as statesman If not as an orator.
In his own county, where this great man
is best known and appreciated at more
nearly his true worth the result of last
Tuesdays election Is one which does not
need any chart to understand: And,
moreover, all over the state of Ohio, that
result has made itself quite as fully mani
fest.
1t may be summed up briefly thus: The
real head of our Christian impeFialist ma
tional administration is regarded in his
own state as the incarnation of political
ruffianism, a brutal, constituencies type of
the robber in politics. The corruption
fund represents the beginning and the
end of all he has ever wrought in political
life. His executive talents applied to
American politics have found expression
in an organized effort to prostitute the
American electorate and to degrade
American political institutions by en-
bribery and corruption as objects of envy
and admiration. That this daring cor
ruptionist has plunged to his final ruin as
a political influence is an event which
must make all decent freemen rejoice.
Golden Rule Jones did not put the
case too strongly when he said In a re-
cent interview these words concerning the
result of Tue sday's election in Ohio on
Hanna as politician:
never was king or car more
completely repudiated than has been the
ear of American politics by the patriotic
people of Cuyahoga county in his own
home. It matters not that Nash is elect
ed. The triumph Of the wicked is short.
This does not imply that Mr.. Nash is
wicked, but that he is elected governor
Of Ohio by the most impudently wicked
political system that today curses any
civilized nation no intelligent man or
woman will deny.
This is right. And Jones himself un-
Willingly contributed to the result He
adopted a strange way of doing it. But,
to quote a favorite figure Of speech Of
Mark Hanna's representative in the
White house, it was all IN the providence
of God and accompanied by much of the
righteousness which the good Mckinley
assures US all attends the operations Of
that same Providence
To all men of all parties who contribut-
ed in any degree whatever to this most
gratifying result the thanks Of the Aneri-
can public are due, and to none more
than to Hanna himself, for, as his in
quiry given above indicates, Hanna him
self did more than any man to produce
the much needed result.
