FRANKLIN SYNDICATE'S SIZE.
100 Shares OF Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Stock Found In II.

New York, Nov. 2S.-William F. Mil
Ter, who conducted the Franklin syndi-
cate in Brooklyn, has not yet been ar
rested, and the police have not the
faintest idea where he is. The Frank
lin syndicate safe, which was locked up
by Miller the last thing before he took
flight, was opened by a locksmith to-
day in a Brooklyn police station. In it
was found 1870 shares of Brooklyn Rapid
Transit stock and a few worthless
scraps of paper.
There was not a penny of cash and
nothing of value except the stock. A
majority of it had been purchased at
SS 3S and the balance at S8 IA. Post
master Wilson of Brooklyn has receiv-
ed an order from the postmaster general
directing him to return, so far as pos
sible to the senders all letters address,
ed to the syndicate. About 1900 pieces
of mail, including over $1,000 worth of
money orders, have accumulated since
Saturday.

BALFOUR ON THE WAR.
Free States Action HO1d BID for EN-.
pire-Hatreal of British.

London. Nov 28.--Arthur j. Balfour,
the government leader in the house of
commons, addressing the national con-
servatives at Dewsburk to-day repelled
the charge that the government mo-
tive in the war in South Africa was the
acquisition of the gold fields. II have
now come to the conclusion" he said,
that the declaration of war by the
Free State was not any despairing
struggle for liberty. but bold bid for
empire, bid to make themselves the
nucleus of a Dutch speaking, para
mount power in South Africa and to
exclude forever the hated Britisher
from a dominating influence In that
part of the world
"These people have risked their all
upon the stake of war, and it is incred-
able that such a risk would be run
merely to prevent the Uitlander getting
a vote. Their mind might be madness,
but it is intelligent madness when we
consider the whole situation and the
difficulties that beset us in a South
African campaign. They have also
vainly counted on the British party
system and another reason may be
found in their profound contempt for
British arms"
Mr.. Balfour then paid a high
eulogy of the brilliant bravery of our
troops 1.-The courage, patriotism and
endurance of the small colony of Natal,
so transcendently displayed and the
patriotic spirit of the colonies gener
ally" He concluded by saying: Last,
but not least, may we not on this occa-
sion express our gratitude to our Amer
lean relations who have done all that
is possible in a case like this, namely,
have provided and equipped the Maine,
not only in the interests of humanity,
but as l well believe, out of sympathy
for those engaged in this great fight"
In the course Of an eloquent peroration
in which he said that he was not en-
titled to lift the veil hiding the future,
Mr. Balfour expressed confidence that
an era of peace, prosperity and freedom
would follow "these dark struggles

COMMITTEES Recommendation VIII
Probably be Against Appointment

Committee Recon- incubation VIII
Probably be Against Appointment.
The special committee of the court of
common council appointed to consider
the advisability of the appointment of
building inspector met last night and
held public hearing A number of citi-
Zens, including well know builders, APP
peared and expressed the opinion that
there was no immediate need of build
ing inspector and that the work was
being very satisfactorily done by the
fire marshal. President Holcomb of the
board of fire commissioners appeared
before the committee by request and
stated that the the fire department
could continue to attend to building in
spection. The committee will meet
again next Monday evening, just before
the meeting of the common council, to
draw up a recommendation to be made
to that body. 1t is probable that the
committee will report adversely on the
appointment of a building inspector
and recommend that the duties of the
position be performed by fire depart
ment officials as at present.

EXPELLED FROM THE CHURCH
RESULT OF IRIIL OF WILLIAM
KEMP OF STANFORD
II Was Charged That Ele Repeatedly
Violated the Methodist Discipline and
Prayed Too Loud--AM Appeal Taken -
Kemp Member of the Church for
Over Half a Century.

Stamford, Nov. 2S.-After two nights
! sessions the trial Of William Kemp, a
member of the Methodist church of
Stamford for upwards of half a cen
tury, who was charged with repeated
disregard of the admonitions of the
pastor in matters relating to church
discipline, was concluded shortly before
midnight, and the verdict of the COM
mittee that was hearing the case was
expulsion.
After the testimony was concluded to-
night there were arguments for the ac-
cused presented by Attorney Bohannon
and Judge Reynolds of Brooklyn, N. Y,
advocated the accusers' side of the case.
Kemp and several of his friends and
synpathizers testified tonight and the
testimony of Kemp was given in such
loud tone that it was plaintly heard
by people outside the church. The fact
that he prays so loudly as to cause an
noyance to many members Of the church
is one reason why an effort was made
to discipline him.
There waa no material differences in
the testimony of the two sides, but
Kemp insisted that he did nothing con-
trary to the Methodist usages. After
the arguments were completed the COM
mittee was not long in reporting their
finding and Rev. Charles Wing, d. D.,
of Brooklyn, who presided at the trial.
in few words expelled Kemp from
the Methodist church. Attorney Bo-
hannah at once appealed from the de-
cision. According to regular procedure
the appeal will come up for considera
tion before the next quarterly confer
ence of this church or it may be con-
sidered at the quarterly conference of
some other Methodist conference in this
district If the presiding elder is 50 in
clined.' Kemp and his friends would
like to have his appeal heard by some
other church.
