HAS NOT ACCEPTED A CALL.
DR.. Whitman Yet to Decide lyon His
Future Course.

DR.. B. L. Whitman, who rendered his
resignation president of Columbian Uni
versity at a meeting of the board of trus-
tees of the institution Wednesday after
noon, has said he has not as yet accepted
call from any church. 1t is stated by
member of the board in close association
with DR.. Whitman that the latter. after
years of education and church work, had
chosen between the two professions. and
decided to devote his whole time to the
ministry. While he had not accepted any
particular call, he desired his resignation
accepted upon presentation that he might
be free to act upon the matter in any way
he saw fit.
Dr. Whitman has received a call from the
Fifth Baptist Church of Philadelphia. He
has been filling the pulpit of the Calvary
every Sunday since his residence in Wash
ington. DR.. Whitman has preached in
Philadelphia. He is well known and adj
mired by the BaptiSts of the Quaker city.
and it is said there is little doubt of his
taking up his future residence in the Penn
SylVania metropolis.
DIR. Whitman's successor will probably
be decided upon at a special meeting of the
board of trustees of Columbian University,
called for next Thursday at noon. His
resignation is effective with the close of the
present academic year. His action has been
the source of much regret throughout the
city.

Temple under the auspices of the Anti
Imperialist League of this city The speak
B. Henderson. former Governor Boutwell, of
Massachusetts, and Representative Lentz of
Ohio.
DIR. W. A. Cloffut called the meeting to

Mr.. Henderson was first introduced and

REWARD TO BE PAID,
Police Make the Award in the krebs
Case.

Police Make the Award in the krebs
Case.
The reward of 500 offered in the case of
the dress cutter has not yet been paid, but
the police say they see no reason why
further delay in turning over the money is
necessary. Under the terms of the offer
the money will be paid to Mr.. Merritt o.
Chance, whose wife was one of the many
victims of Herman Max Krebs. The offer
in the case made by Major Sylvester was
for information leading to the apprehension
of the cutter. Mr.. Chance gave this infor-
nation.
When a street railway crossing policeman
refused to make the arrest Mr. Chance did
not abandon his pursuit of the cutter He
called on the detectives the next day, and
it was due to his efforts In the matter that
Detectives Parham and Gallaher met with
success in the quest
In the case of Richard Harrison, colored,
who was arrested for the Loudoun county.
Va, authorities, where he is charged with
completely in the murder of Town Sergeant
Seaton of Middleburg, the terms of the
offer are different, it is said. Harrison was
arrested by Detective Boyd who had re-
ceiVed one of the descriptive circulars in
the case. The offer of 500 in this case was
for the arrest and delivery of the person
charged with the crime and not for infor-
nation leading to his arrest. Detective
Boyd made the arrest and delivered the
prisoner to Sheriff Russell. He has not yet
received the reward money, although it is
expected he will soon get it. Several per-
sons are claiming that they gave informa-
ton to the police concerning the colored
mans presence in this city, but, it is
stated, under the terms of the offer they
would not be entitled to any part of the re-
ward, even if they had actually pointed out
the man to the officer.
In the event of Detective Boyd's receiv-
ing the reward he will probably have to
surrender 20 per cent of the money to the
department, to be applied to the fund that
is to provide officers with articles of wear
ing apparel, when theirs are disfgured in
line of duty.
