STRONG DEFENSE
OF MISSIONARIES

Chicago, July pa stirring address
on China was delivered before the
Moody Bible Institution Congregation
this afternoon by Rev. Thomas Mar
shall, field secretary of the Presbyter
ian Board of Foreign Missions, and
Chinese missionary of wide experience
and more than national fame.
He charged that European nations, es-
pecially England. Germany and
France, are responsible for all the trou-
BILE typified in the national uprising
against foreigners in China: that the
missionaries are not to blame, and that
the 'robber nations of Europe, when
caught in the act of despoiling the Chi
nese of their territory and desecrating
the Chinese graves by running rail
roads through them, are trying to,
make scapegoats of the innocent mis-
sionaries, and are using the Christian
evangelixing forces for political and!
selfish ends.
The speaker expressed qualification
mt the fact that the government of the
United States had taken a noble stand
for the integrity of China.
Rev. NJ. A. Cunningham, another
Presbyterian with ten years expert
ence in China. followed DIR. MARSHALL.
indorsing all the latter said, and de-
scribing the Chinese people by no
means as bad as painted.

New Orleans. July 2T.-Tremendous
! excitement reigned in New Orleans to-
| day while the battle went on between
the police and citizens and the negro
murderer, Robert Charles, with his
Winchester. After the tragedy was
over and Charles was dragged out from
the mud and slush in which he had
fallen, with the mob bowling for the
burning of his body, statements were
made that the man killed was not
really the desperado who had killed
Day and Lamb, but papers found on
his person, and the fact that he fought
so desperately for his life and shot so
accurately, leave little doubt that he
was the man.
Sergeant Gabe Porteus and Sergeant
Lally were informed during the day by
negro that Charles was in hiding in
a house in Clio street. The officers sum-
moned several patrolmen and went to
the house. They entered the side al
ley, and We're served like Day and
Lamb. The negro was hidden behind
a screen and began Il furious and accu-
rate fire.
Lally fell with a bullet in the abdo-
men. Porteous was shot through the
head, and dropped dead across the
body Of Lally. The other officers and
the negro informant fled. The report
of Charles Winchester. and the fact
that two officers lay bleeding in the
yard raised tremendous excitement,
and armed hosts We're rushed to the
scene.
Meantime, Father Fitzgerald of st.
Johns Church was summoned TO ad-
minister extreme JUNCTION to the police
officer dying in the alley. The priest
was amounting the body of Porteus,
with Alfred Bloomfield, n young boy,
standing by his side, when Charles
again appeared at the window. The lad
saw him and begged the desperate not
to shoot. The negro, however, fired
again and Bloomfield fell dead. The
priest, unhurt, left the scene, after
pluckily performing the last offices for
the dead officer
When the ambulance arrived two
men volunteered to go into the alley
and bring out the body of Lally. They
entered and while they We're attempting
to take away the body. Charles fired
again. The men got Lally's body out,
and afterward took Proteus' body out.
An immense crowd had now gathered,
and schemes were then set on foot to
get Charles out of the building.
Charles, however. did not propose to
be captured without selling his life
dearly. Time after time he came to the
window, and rs men, one by one, en-
tered the alley. he blaZed away at
them. In this manner. COnfectioner Le-

At this time the extra police began
to fire at the negro and he returned
their fire. Andy Van Kuren. jailor. got
a bullet in the body and fell dead. Just
