There was large attendance OF the
Methodist ministers of this city and state
at their union meeting I'm the Mathewson
street church this morning. The occasion
for the unusual interest which prevailed
was an address by Prof. j. Q. Dcaley Of
Brown university on the Social Conoi-
tions in the City of Providence"
The substance of Prof. Dealey's plain
talk 10 the assembled ministers was 20
ask the question whether the real duty OF
the church should be religious or ethical
or both. BY "A clear analysis the profes-
sor arrived at the conclusion that the
church should be distinctly ethical, as
well as religious and being so. the means
by which the best can be accomplished
should be first through study and cduca-
ton. and second through the fedcraliza-
tion OF the churches.
In beginning Prof Dcaley spoke or the
agitation begun by the Providence News
against the social evil I'm this city. and
presumed that that agitation had ac-
uuaintcd most OF his hearers with the evil
conditions at their very doors.
Prof Dealey called attention TO the fact
Of the existence OF well developed ten
derloin district in the city OF Providence
which contained more than 600 houses of
tli-fef.tite--
He then paused TO consider what the
ututldc Of the churches should be toward
this great evil.
I'm the first place you should know
about these matters. said he The
churches ns "a whole. should begin 20
know something about The evil conditions
hy which they are surrounded. They
should discuss social topics.

About year ago Miller was engaged
in the patent medicine business at In

working in his office was Miss Sutton.
She was his stenographer. Miller fell
madly i'm love with her. but his love was
not returned. He continued his advances
until Miss sutton resigned her position
and found employment in law office.
The love-sick young man after that
haunted the office where she was work.

and urged her 10 marry him. She refused
and then Miller grew desperate. lie me-

Brings Direct Accusation In the
Text Book Affair.
"SHREWD SCHEME" HE CLAIMS
Utterly Refuses 10 Believe That There Has
Been Innocent Mistaks" He Summa-
rzss Mr. Barnsy's Explanation.

III Is very evident that School Commit
teman Stephen O. Edwards OF the Second
ward, means business, and, having decid-
cd TO talk about what he considers inn
proper methods in the school committee.
ne Is following up his charges with an
array Of facts which appear very start
ling.
Mr.. Edwards first brought charges OF
unauthorized action against the executive
committee of the school committee. Now
he makes a statement in which he refuses
10 believe that President Walter H. Bar
ney made the error about the introduce
lion OF textbooks through any oversight.
Mr. Edwards says that there was "a de-
hberate scheme. shrewdly devised, for
placing unauthorized text books In the
public schools, and In consequence many
persons are asking whether President
Barney and other members OF the cxecti-
NV" committee will ask for an invcstig9-
tion OF their conduct"
FACTS ARE SUMMARIZED.
Mr.. Edwards says of the matter, refer
rims tn the two state nerts of Pfe,'1,mi
Barney: 1t is useless to pursue further
ths controversy on this matter. The ia
'rCduCtCr OF these books was una ilnlr-
feed and It was not due TO an Innocent
mistake. ON the contrary, there was a
deliberate scheme shrewdly devised for
placing these books surreptitiouSly in the
schools. The facts which support this
charge may be- summarized as follows:
Il. The Incorrectly recorded resolu-
tion of the committee.
-. The claim OF the president that
the placing the book upon the supplement
tary list as book for reference author
lied the executive committee TO throw
another text book out and substitute the
one In question.
''S. The failure to use the books for
year after they were purchased. This
was due TO the fact that opposition de-
veloped on the part Of the teachers and
the books could not he placed in the
schools without objection and possible
publicity.
a. The failure 10 pay for the books
for nearly IS months after they were
purchased
"5. The placing OF the books In the
schools when the schools were closed and
the superintendent and teachers were alb
sent from the city.
1T only remains IN be seen whether
the school committee and the high school
committee will be subservient and ratify
the unauthorized purchase and substtu-
ton"
IL may not be amiss TO state that Mr.
Stephen o. Edwards. who makes these
charges, has been member OF the school
committee for three years. He is prom
inent as n lawyer. is trustee of Brown
University and is president OF the Uni
Versity club. The accusation thus comes
from a most responsible quarter.
