DANGEROUSLY WOUNDED
In FIGHT OVER A GIRL.

A probably fatal stabbing ARRAY oc-
Cured last night at No. 27 Beacon ave-
nue., and the result Is that Irving Pc
ters is at the Rhode Island hospital
and Richard III. Scales. his assailant. is
under arrest. The row arose over the
fact that Scales had paid certain at
tentions. TO step-daughter OF Peters.
All the persons concerned in the case
are colored.
The house at No. 27 Beacon avenue is
kept by Julia Hopp. and her daughter,
Ethel Hopp. is about 22 years of age.
Scales, IL is said, has paid some at
tention TO the daughter, and last eve
ming he took the girl for ride on an
electric car. Peters has strongly dis
approved OF this attention and last
night the two men met on the side
walk near the gate OF the house and in
dulged in a dispute about their rights
in the domicile. Peters was stabbed
in the left side and the cut is deep
one.
1t was but short run for the am
shedding tn the hospital, but Peters
was about gone when he arrived there.
Coroner Lincoln was summoned TO take
the ante-rnortem statement. The po-
lice went out In search OF his assailant
and Scales was captured in back
yard. where he was In hiding. He
stated that he was defending himself
from Peters blows and used n knife

struck him or that he was hurt.
Ii was almost an hour after the as
sault when officers took Scales into
custody. He said he was a regular
boarder at the house and paid his
money every week, while Peters was
only a loafer about there and scared
folks by his talk about being step
father to the girl of the boarding mis-
tresc.
Scales was arraigned before Judge
-Sweetland charged with making an as
sault with a knife upon Irving Peters.
At first he pleaded guilty and as Pc
ters' condition could not be Nated by
Chief Baker other than that il was
said that the wound inflicted was a
serious one. the case was continued for
sentence until June 22d. and Scales was
placed under $1,000 bail. Then Scales
claimed that he had acted in self de-
fence, in that Peters twice struck Mt
him. pulled him into a gateway. ex-
claimed. Now I've got you. I'll kill
you" made a thrust at him with a
knife. To save himself Scales said that
he then used his own knife. but did not
know until he was arrested that he had
cut Peters
On the strength of that statement
Judge Swsetland thought IL best TO en-
ter plea Of not guilty and TO hold
Scales for a hearing on June 22d. and
under $1,000 bail. This was done. Re-
ports from the hospital say Peters ~ in
about the same condition as when
brought in.

CLOSER COOPERATION
BETWEEN CHURCHES.
rlatter Considered by Council of the
Congregational Churches at the
ElmwoOd Temple.

At Elmwood Temple last evening a
council of the Congregational churches
of this city met for the purpose of con-
sidering plans for a closer and more
effective cooperation between the Con-
gregatlonal churches and there were SO
delegates present. including clergy and
laity. Rev. Mr.. House was chosen as
moderator OF the council, and Rev.
James Greer as secretary. Rev. f. Tall
madge Root delivered an address sug-
gesting feasible plans in order to bring
about unity of effort.
In closing his remarks he said:
Churches, like men. are forced 10
become rivals for means. OF the same
denomination one is built up at the
expense Of the other. Churches should
be converted They are Christian in
the sense that they are composed of
Christian individuals; in themselves
they are still unregenerate; they are
soulless corporations. Conversion Of
churches means that they will become
agencies of the kingdom OF God. We
need to shift the focus of our thought
and effort from the parish to the city;
from the denomination TO teh world.
Then we may have a strong fellowship
and hearty cooperation. To this end,
/ suggest that committee be appoint
ed from the IL Congregational churches
of Providence. which shall plan and
carry out such measures of co-opera-
tion as II shall deem feasible; that they
cultivate the spirit of cooperation and
inculcate principles of IL in others. by
annual mass meetings and by united
and systematic effort"
Mr.. Root then presented the following
resolution; which was discussed at
length:
Resolved That this council recon-
mends 10 the Congregational churches
of Providence the organization of
joint committee for cooperation upon
the following basis:
This committee shall be called the
joint committee OF the Congregational
churches OF Providence.

BERLIN, Jan. 11.-Emperor William,
when receiving the rectors of the three
technical high schools, made an ad-
dress of the highest Importance. For
the first time he spoke openly about
socialism, saying:
Social democracy regard as evanes-
cent, but you must make plain to your
students their social and economic du-
ties towards the workingmen."
His majesty dwelt on the growing
importance of the technical sciences,
asserting that German technology ac-
quired the greatest reputation abroad,
even in England, where he had heard,
he said, many appreciative remarks.
Twice he emphasized the fact that men
graduating from technical high schools
exerted enormous influence upon the
development of social questions. The
meeting was attended by number of
the highest government officials, the

LONDON Jan, II. The war office has
not contributed the least particular as
to what is taking place in Natal since
Sunday. Neither has tit allowed the
dispatches of correspondents to get
through. Consequ ently the facts of the
situation are replaced, by conjecture
and the impatience Of the public pours
itself into discussion of the conduct Of
the war-of what might have been
done or ought not to be done.
The critics range up and down the
entire field Of war transactions, finding
fault especially with the lack Of trans
ports for the troops who are ready to
depart and with the concealment Of
news, averring the censorship in South
Africa embraces the mails; that the re.
ports OF fcorrespo are being lmu-
tilated and entire letters suppressed. s
