PROF. HERON EXPELLED
FREE THINKER is NO LONGER A
CONGREGATTONALa

DES MONIES, Iowa, June 4.-Prof.
George D. Heron, former applied Chris
tianity professor in Iowa college at Grin
nell, is no longer 8, Congregationalist
He was tried by council of ministers
and elders of the church representing
eight organizations sitting at Grinnell
today ON charge of conduct unbecoming
a Christian and gentleman" Evidence
was introduced to show cruel treatment
of his unusually loyal and deserving
wife," which finally resulted in divorce
proceedings and legal separation. A
lengthy letter from DIR. Heron was pre-
sented in his defense, but at the close of
it's consideration the council decided the
charges were sustained and voted unani-
mously to expel him from the church.
No defense was expected, and evidence
introduced in the Heron divorce suit was
expected to form most of the testimony.
Considerable surprise was expressed,
therefore, when 1t was announced that
DR.. Heron had sent letter in his own
defense, dealing with his specific, indi-
vidual case, and not with marriage and
divorce in general The writer states
that he was called on divine mission
as a sort Of new prophet, and that his
wife did not give him her sympathy and
appreciation, so that the home atmos-
phere was uncongenial He and his wife
discussed the matter many times, he al
leges, and finally agreed to separate, and
he went away that the desertion plea
might be acceptable In court

The committee on reorganization ap-
pointed at the meeting a year ago gave
out its report, which was circulated
among the members. This was the rock
upon which the peaceful waters Of the
formal session split. DR.. Mcconnell, of
Pennsylvania, moved that 1t be read by
title and referred to the nominating COM
mittee. 1t developed in the course Oh dis
cussion, however that the reorganiza-
ton committee had called IN an advi-
sorry committee composed Of members
from twenty-seven states, and that this
committee the day before had adopted
the plan unanimously. DR.. Harris, of
New York, moved that the report be
referred to this board, with the members
Of the executive committee of the asso-
citation added. A vigorous effort was then
made by number of delegates to have
the matter referred to the nominating
committee, which was chosen by the
state delegations after adjournment, but
this failed. The two committees having
charge Of the report will make their own
report today, and this will be the prin-
cipal business before today's session.
The scheme of reorganization hanging
fire is to have a less number of dele
gates in the future to do the work OF
the association. The association has, as
a rule, about 1,600 delegates, and It is
proposed to reduce this number to about
100. According to the old scheme there
is one delegate for every ten members.
There are many enemies to the new
scheme, but 1t Is impossible to make
guess as to what the outcome Will be.

BIG STEEL MAST of CONSTITUTION
SUDDENLY SNAPS AND FALLS,
CLEARING DECK
SECOND MATE OVERHEARD
Accident Was Due to the Sudden
Breaking of One of the Spread
ers, and Will Disable Yacht
for Ten Days.

NEWPORT, r. l., June Awhile dash
ing along in a good whole sail breeze
off Brenton's Reef nghtship this after
noon, with three lower sails set, the big
hollow steel mast on the Belmont syndi-
cate cup defender Constitution collapsed
like blow pipe through the sudden
breaking Of the starboard and Windward
spreader.
The mast broke off only few feet
below the spreader, about three-fffths Of
the length of the mast above the deck,
and as the topmast was carried away at
the same time none of the spars except
the boom struck the deck, and the lat
ter only hit in light blows, which did
not 1n5ure the hull at all. None of the
sails was torn and all can be used again
Fortunately three seamen had just come
down from the masthead after taking in
the club topsail, but the wreckage swept

He was promptly hauled ON board. how
ever, without sustaining anything more
than a few bruises.
DESIGNER AND ISELIN ABOARD.
The designer, Mr.. Nat Herreshoff, was
on tAe deck when the mast collapsed,
and with him were w. Butler Duncan,
the manager of the yacht; Mr. c. Oliver
1selin, who managed the Columbia two
| years ago. Wnen she sustained a similar
accident; Rear Commodore c. L. F. Rob-
1nson, of the New York Yacht club, and
Mr.. Newbury Thorne, and all escaped in
jury. The Constitution will be taken to
Bristol tomorrow morning, where an
other steel mast is nearly finished. The
yacht viii be Immediately refitted, but
it will probably be ten days or two
weeks before she is in shape to sail again.
so that the races off this port scheduled
for June Is and II will have to be post
| poned.
About noon Mr.. Herreshoff came down
from Bristol and looked over the two
sails, which were then getting gradually
into shape. After the crew had finished
their dinner, the main sail was again
| hoisted and preparations made for a
spin outside the harbor. The wind at the
time was blowing about fifteen or efgh-
teen knots, and as the tide was strong
ebb there was quite a lump of sea in
the narrow channel at the mouth of the
harbor.
The No. club top sail, however. was
set and with nib and mainsail up the big
white sloop started away from her moor
ings at lively pace. 1t was practically
dead beat down the channel and in the
cnoppy sea the yacht pitched not a lit
tie. There was more wind outside the
harhor, but the sea was smoother.

Election of the Popular St. Paul
Surgeon Is Regarded as a
Strong Probability.
Medical Men Spend a Busy Day,
Holding Sectional Conven-
tions in Several Places.

DR.. Charles A. Wheaton, Of St Paul,
will in all probability be the next presi-
dent Of the American Medical association.
1t developed at the big session and the
sessions of the sections in different parts
of the city yesterday that he is being
strongly backed by all the Northwestern
states. This is looked upon as a great
honor not only to the eminent surgeon
in question, but also to the SANITY City
and the state as we'll. There are only
two other candidates for the presidency,
DR.. Frank Billings, of Chicago, and Dr.
John Wyeth, of New York The office,
however, belongs to the Northwest, and
Dr.. Wheaton is the logical candidate
DR.. Wheaton has been practicing In St
Paul for over twenty years, and Is one
OF the best surgeons in the Northwest
He Is universally admitted to be one
of the most popular men in his profess
sion. 1t was nineteen years ago that the
first visit of the association was made
to st. Paul. Members who were here
at that time remember the surgeon. to-
gether with DIR. A. J. Stone, DR. J. F.
Fulton, and others as the chief enter
tainers Of the visiting members. DR..
Wheaton has been here during his en-
tire professional career. He is a pro-
fessor in the surgery department of the
university and IN fact was prominently
active in organizing the medical depart
ment entire at that institution. He is
chief surgeon of ST. Lukes hospital and
consulting surgeon at st. Joseph and
Bethesda hospitals. Dr. Wheaton does
not say he is a candidate; he is re-
ceiving his support unsolicited. He is re-
ceiving strong support from the Illinois
delegation. That state has 16O delegates.
Minnesota, the Dakotas and Iowa and
neighboring states are also in line. Then
the doctor has the advantage Of being
known all over the country, and has per-
sonal friends in every state The other
candidates are also popular and have
considerable strength.
The nominating committee was ap-
pointed yesterday after the general ses-
sion at the Metropolitan opera house. It
consisted of fifty-three members. The
committee win hold a meeting today and
decide upon which man to recommend.
After the report of the committee has
been on the last day, the vote win be
taken. 1t generally happens mat the
man recommended by the committee is
elected.

on the Treatment OF Obesity" by DR..
Heinrich Stern, Of New York, and one on
the subject Of What Can Be Done for
the Epileptic In q Medical Way" by
DR.. r. H. Porter, of Chicago.
The paper on appendicitis was read by
DR.. Deaver before the practice Of medi-
cine section, which met in the house OF
representatives, and this most aggravat-
ing Of all modern diseases, which has at
times bafled the most skilled experts,
was treated in a manner that showed
deep study and research.
DR.. Deaver advocated Immediate opera-
ton after the case had been fully dag
nosed and developed. saying that appen-
d!citis is a surgical disease, and one
which cannot be operated upon too early,
as the operations following delay for
purely medical treatment often came too
late.
The discussion that followed took
wide range many of the doctors being
Of the opinion that an operation should
not be performed until after all medical
means had been exhausted.
The discussion was opened by Drs. I.
N. Love, New York, who was followed
by Philip D. Marvel Atlantic City; A. A.
Jones, Buffalo, and others. DR. Wether-
stone, Of Tennes contended that tho
disease was one that called for medical
and surgical attendance and that the
two departments should go ham in hand
together. The physician should first eX-
haust all remedies at his command. ana
the surgeon should come to his relief
when the malady reached an acute state.

surgery he thought, should be temper
