DIR. Meserve Defends Prof. Gilbert
Case-Suit over "a Towns Name.

PETERSBURG, Ind. May 15.-Winslow, a
small town south of here, was the scene of
a sanguinary encounter this afternoon be-
tween Hida Wright. the deputy town mar
shall, and Benjamin and Joe Hook. two
AYRSHIRE miners. which terminated In the
instant killing of Joe Hook and the dan
gerous, if not fatal. %wounding Of the Of
ficer.
Last Saturday night the Hook brothers
and a number Of their associates came to
Winslow and assaulted the town marshal.
beating him almost to death. They then
traversed the streets, threatening the lives
OF prominent citizens. At length they be-
gan the destruction of property by throw
ing clubs and bricks through windows and
doors. The citizens were terrorized and
did not dare assert themselves. This after
noon the Hook boys, who were leaders in
Saturday nights rioting, went to Winslow
and began d repetition of their former
conduct.
As Marshal Wright was e~ndeavoring to
read a warrant TO Ben Hook issued by JUS
tice Chambers on account of his previous
d-epredations, his. brother Joe attacked the
officer. He first tore the officers badge
from his coat and threw it away, striking
HIM at the same time. Ben Hook struck
the officer with a razor, cutting a deep cash
from the corner of the left eye to the
mouth. AT this juncture Joe Hook repeated
his attack on the officer, who was much
smaller than his antagonist, and the Of
ficer drew his revolver and fired, sending
a ball through Hooks brain. Hook fell
face down and death was instantaneous.
The officer then placed Ben Hook under
arrest.
The greatest excitement prevails. Sheriff
Bass and his deputies have been called 10
Winslow TO preserve order, as a raid by
friends of the Hooks is feared.

assembly has gone back to Philadelphia,
where it met annually for forty-fve years
after the establishment OF the church in
the United States. The delegates TO the
assembly embrace many fine preachers.
and there is a much better chance for
them to be heard in a city Of many
churches than there is In a rural resort.
Though not the largest. the Presbyterian
Church is one Of the most important and
influential bodies in the country. and its
ministry has always been noted for learn
ing and for maintaining a high intellectual
and moral standard. 1t has shown great
courage and ability in maintaining the
creed Of the church against open attacks
from all quarters as well as against the
more insidious influence of progressive pop
ular opinion. In recent years. however,
1t has become evident that many Of the
ablest men In the church were in favor of
readjusting the creed so as to make ii in
some respects more conformable to the
changes in popular belief and to liberal
biblical construction. The last General
Assembly yielded TO this sentiment so far

of fifteen was appointed, consisting of
eight ministers and seven elders, TO con-
slider the whole subject. with instructions
to seek light and knowledge from every
available source and TO report to the next
General Assembly what action. If any.
should be taken by the church. The late
General Benjamin Harrison headed the list
of seven elders on the committee and took
a lively interest in its deliberations. II
is understood that the committee will rec
ommend some changes in the creed or
Confession OF Faith. but that they will be
more a matter of form than Of substance,
and will not affect the fundamental doc
trines as heretofore held by the church.
The report of the committee is expected to
bring on a lively discussion, and it's de-
tails are awaited with much interest by
Presbyterians everywhere.

presented by a mass meeting of Chinese
citizens I'm Picking 10 Captain Tillson,
provost marshal of the American district
in that city. Captain Tillson was formerly
in charge of the United States army re-
cruiting office in Cleveland. The petition,
which is numerously signed by Chinese
business men, begs the captain TO intercede
with the United States government TO OBJ
tain a postponement of the withdrawal of
the American troops from China. After
reviewing the record made by the troops
in Picking the petition concludes:
After mature consideration we nave con-
Cluded to beg you TO ask your government
for US to kindly permit you TO remain
here until the negotiation is concluded.
This will prevent our being harmed, robbed
and badly treated, and we can continue
our business with content. If this, our pc
tition, be granted we shall be more grateful
than words can express. For these rea-
sons We have the honor TO submit our pc
tition with our names written on another
sheet.
Captain Tillson acknowledged the petit
ton in very courteous terms. but told
the petitioners that the mission Of his
government in sending troops TO China
having been accomplished, orders had al
ready been received for their withdrawal.
He assured the petitioners that the COM
pliment they paid the American troops
would be appreciated by the American
people, and added: Il feel sure that this
is the first time in the worlds history that
the invaded have begged the invaders to
remain on their soil" 1t is doubly signifi-
cant that such a request should have been
