PREACHER TEACHES WRONG DOCTRINES Says Serpent Who Tempted
 Eve Was a Man INDICTED BY THE CHURCH He Argues There Were Other Inhab- itants Besides Adam and Eve; If
 Not, How Did Cain Get a
 Wife In Land of Nod.
INDICTED BY THE CHURCH

McPherson Kan, March 2U.-Rev. Gran vile Louther D. D., pastor of local church was served with papers at a Methodist Episcopal conference here to- day charging him with heresy and set ting forth that he would be tried In Ar kansas City, Kansas on March 26.
 The Reverand outher who is a mem Der of the Southwest Methodist confer ence. is charged with being guilty of disseminating doctrines contrary to and subversive of the doctrines of the Meth odist Episcopal Church." and it is al legged that he is theistic and evolutionis- tic" Rev. Louther Is charged with mak- ing and teaching the following doctrines of the confession of faith and cathechism: That the serpent who talked to Eve was a man. one of the race to which she and Adam belonged, that he had not come into a consciousness of God. therefore was classified with the beasts, and that there were other inhabitants and mem- bers of the race, if not how did Cain find his wife in the land of Nod, where none of Adams children had gone except
 
 of men whom the sons of men took for their wives?
 That Adam and Eve as first created had no perception of their obligations of obedience; that in eating of the fruit of the tree of good and evil they had done nothing but what others about them were doing, and they themselves had formerly done, that is, like beasts, but they had a higher vision of spiritual things than formerly and consequently they felt guilt.
 That Christ died for men to show men how to die for man; that this willing ness to die for man should be multiplied by exactly the number of disciples of Christ and that the atonement can never be completed until this idea prevails"
 MT. Louther has been president of the Kansas State Holiness Association for years. He says that lack of freedom for the soul Is like compressing a woman s waist In corsets to compel it to grow &C., cording to a certain fashionable ideal.

MILES SAYS IF MILITARY BILL IS
 PASSED HE WILL RESIGN AT ONCE
SENIOR GENERAL MAY BE
 SEVERELY DEALT WITH

the committee, making himself the broad statement that the statements which were given to the press as those made by himself before the committee were mis- representations. totally unwarranted and untrue.
 The omission by the President of his usual ride this afternoon and the fact that he and Secretary Root were in con ference for nearly two hours led to the supposition that they were discussing General Miles testimony. This, however, was an erroneous conclusion.
 When his attention was called to the proceedings before the committee Secre- tary Root remarked quietly that he was very sorry Lieutenant General Miles op- posed the bill. He pointed out that under sect5n ', of which General Miles com plained, the lieutenant general would have greatly enlarged powers in army management.
 AS to the question whether General Miles had said anything which would re- quire action at the hands of the depart ment or the President, the Secretary firmly declined to express an opinion, for the present, at least

"A WASHINGTON, March 20-The news N of General Miles statement to-
 w day before the military commit tee of the Senate excited great interest at the War Department when it became known there late in the day. There was very general inquiry as to whether, by passing the criticisms upon various off cials as reported in the press, General Miles had not exposed himself to disciplI- nary treatment. The answer to this must be based on the exact amount of priv ileges which attaches to testimony given before a committee of Congress This question arose last week in the course of General Hughes testimony before the Senate Philippine committee. It appeared that there was a variance of opinion in the committee itself and the question was left unsettled.
 While General Miles did not expect, when he gave his testimony, that 1t would be made public in any form. he Is now willing that it shall be published by

SAY TOWELS WOULD BURN

New York, March 20.-David N Car Valho' s.ap expert in handwriting and inks, was called today for cross-exanina- tion in the trial of Albert T. Patrick Carvalho testified yesterday that the sig natures to the 1900 will were made with coal tar ink and that the conceded writ ings of Rice were written with an iron ink. In reply to questions by MT. House today the witness said he had made a study of pens as well as of inks, and mad examined very carefully the signatures of Short and Myer in the 1900 will. Both were written he said, with gold points such are used in fountain pens.
 pr. Hobart A. Hare professor of thera- peutics in the Jefferson Medical College ] of Philadelphia, was called by MT. os- | borne.
 Qualified as Expert.
 He qualified as an expert in chloroform and the assistant district attorney asked him a long hypothetical question, recit- ing the circumstance of MT. Rice's ill., ness and death as described by Charles F. Jones'
 Dr. Hare said that death would result from putting a cone such as Jones de- scribed over the face of sleeping man S4 years old. Dr. Hare said he had made many experiments with chloroform and he did not believe the odor could be dis tinguished an hour after the drug was administered MT. Osborne described the burning of the towel with a sponge as told by Jones. Dr. Hare said there was no reason why 1t should not burn.
 On cross-examination Dr. Hare said he had known of cases where the odor of chloroform administered in a small room would be perceptible for several days.
 In reply to question from juror Dr. Hare said that cone of chloroform, such as the one testified having been placed over the face of Rice, might keep a man sleeping without causing strug- gle.
 ould Cause Instantaneous Death.
 Dr. Robert Coleman Kemp testified that, assuming the conditions to be as described by Jones. instantaneous death would be the effect of a cone of chloro- form placed on the patients face He said that at the end of half an hour the odor of chloroform could not be detected
 Dr. Alfred F. Thayer, a professor at the medical department of Cornwall Uni versity. said he thought from the condi- tions described to him that Rice died of chloroform poisoning.
 The District Attorney recalled Charles F. Jones, who said that Patrick began to grow a beard about two weeks before the death of MT. Rice. Maria Scott, the col ored care taker of MT. Rice's rooms, who testified that she saw Patrick and MT. Rice together several weeks earlier than that day, said that Patrick always wore a beard. Jones was on the stand less than five minutes, and then the prosecu- ton called James D. Brightwell of Gal weston, an employe of the Galveston of flee of the American Express Company. to prove the receipt at his office of two packages sent to Jones. He could not remember the packages, but was allowed to identify the entries he made on the waybills.
 Court was adjourned until tomorrow.

CHARGES AGAINST
 CHINESE MINISTER
ONE OF THE COMPLAINTS IS THAT WU TING FANG IS NEG- LEcTING HIS OFFICIAL DUTIES. NOT FIGHTING EXCLUSION.

San Francisco March 20. - Crave charges against Chinese Consul General Ho Vow, designed also to inculpate Min ister Wu Ting Fang, all under the seal of Six Companies. are on file in the foreign office at Pekin, says the Chronicle this morning
 When interviewed in regard to the mat ter Ho Vow said: Yes, the minister has been informed by the foreign office that charges are on file and has telegraphed me to investigate and learn their sources There are a number of charges, the great est stress being laid on the allegation that l am not conducting the fight against exclusion as aggressively as the com plainants think I should.
 Another charge is that am neglecting my official duties and not protecting the interests and welfare of my countrymen We are informed by the foreign office that the charges bear the Imprint of the Six Companies. I informed the companies and they at once entered a disclaimer on their minutes and the disclaimer will be forwarded to the minister and by him to the foreign office. I am informed that the signatures and imprint of the com panies are forgeries. It is quite possible that the charges emanated from dis gruntled Highbinders incensed at the eff forts to stop their practices
 A prominent member of the Six Com panies said: "We are informed that the charges comprise twenty-eight articles One was the charge that a great deal of his time was devoted to his racing sta- bles and that his jockeys wore the na- tional colors, yellow dragon jacket The royal government will not permit this.
 ''Then there were other charges of of- ficial and personal misconduct.
 '"The charges against the minister are that he had previously been notified of all this but had failed to call the consul to account, and in that way had shown neglect of his duties"
 Minister Wu and Consul General Ho Vow are brothers -in-law
