PLANS OF JOHN ". BAER
UNITED CHRISTIAN ENDEAvOR So
CIETY TO LOSE ITS SECRETARY,
who VIII Begin Work with Presby-
terian Board of Home Missions
on the 1st of October.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
NEW YORK, July 19-Within three
or four days official announcement will be
made from Boston of the retirement Of
Mr.. John Willis Baer as secretary of the
United Society of Christian Endeavor, to
become one of the assistant secretaries Of
the Presbyterian Board of Home Missions.
In securing a layman on its working staff
this board follows the example of other
boards, the Presbyterian Foreign Board for
instance, in a modern tendency to advance
laymen. The securing of Mr.. Baer for this
place has long been the ambition Of the
secretary, the Rev. DR.. Charles l.. Thomp-
son, and Mr.. Baer has once declined the
position he now decides to accept. The
board has already one assistant secretary,
the Rev. DR.. John Dixon, and he will re-
main. A new position has been created for
Mr.. Baer, and it is understood that he will
be expected 10 advance three phases of
Presbyterian home mission work. One OF
these will be increased interest in missions,
especially home missions. on the part Of
young people, in and out of Christian En-
deavor. a second is to emphasize the need
for active lay effort to advance church in
terests and the third is, it is said, to in
crease the amount of contributions TO home
missions, within and without the Presby-
terian Church. Mr.. Baer retires from
Christian Endeavor almost at once, desir-
ing to take a rest, and will begin work with
the Board of Home Missions in New York
on Oct. l, next.
Through his position as secretary of the
United Society of Christian Endeavor Mr..
Baer is one of the best-known laymen in
America. He is a native of Minnesota, but
spent his boyhOod days in Ohio. He be-
came editor of newspaper in Iowa, but
went TO Christian EndeaVOr when II was a
small and weak movement. His impress
upon the movement has been tremendous
Whatever may be said for against it, as
movement and whatever its future may
be, 1t is certain that the Endeavor move
ment as the pioneer, and other yOung-peo-
pie movements to follow after and pattern
themselves upon IL, reVOlUtiOniZed relig-
ious conditions by bringing young people
forward and giving them a place in the
church and something TO do. In this tre-
mendOuS task, accomplished against strong
prejudice and often with much unchristian
charity, three men have borne the burden
They are the Rev. DR.. Francis T.. Clark
John Willis Baer and William Shaw. Two
of these men are Congreg atiOnalists, Mr.
Baer a Presbyterian, two of them laymen,
only one ordained. The Presbyterian Board
of Home Missions planted seven in ten of
all Presbyterian churches in America,

years OF active work. Its income last year
was larger than ever before in its history,

POPE NOT DISPLEAsED.
Commission of Cardinals Dissolved
Because It's Work Is Done.

ROME, July 19.-The dispatch from Rome,
published in the Daily Chronicle, London,
to-day, asserting that the Pope is in
tensely displeased at the way in which the
committee of cardinals has conducted the
negotiations with Judge Taft in the matter
of the friars in the PHILIPPINES. that he has
annulled the procedure of the commission
and has summarily dissolved it. expressing
his view that the Americans demands were
reasonable and signifying his readiness to
treat with Judge Taft personally is based
on an entire misunderstanding OF the sit
uation. The commission of cardinals was
not summarily dissolved. Its work ended
with the acceptance Of Cardinal Rampolla's s
proposition to defer further discussion OF
the negotiations at Manila. AS all the par
ties agree TO this it is absurd 10 say that
the Pope Is desirous Of personally treat
ing with Judge Taft. On the contrary,
the Pope has expressed the highest salts
faction with the result Of the negotiations.
He said: Having started direct relations
with Washington is one Of the happiest
events Of J. pontifcate."
Interest in he PHILIPPINES question now
centers in the appointment OF an apostolic
delegate TO Manila il is considered the
selection Will be an Indication OF the real
intentions Of the Holy See. Governor Taft
has unofficially intimated 10 the Vatican
that the appointment of American pre-
late would be preferred and mentioned the
name OF the Rt. Rev. George Mont
gomery, bishop OF the diocese of Monterey
and Los Angeles IL is thought 10 be i'm
possible 10 select Bishop Thomas O'Gor-
man, because of his participation in the
negotiations here. Doubt, however, is ex-
pressed about the Vatican appointing an
American, the opinion is expressed in
pOntifcal circles that an entirely inde-
pendent delegate is required.

BY THE STEAMER SCHOLAR.
shaft of the American Liner Was
Broken and She Was Towed to Hal
ifax-Passengers All Well.

HALIFAX. n. S.. July 19.-The American
steamer Belgenland. from Philadelphia. for
Queenstown and Liverpool, was brought
to this port to-day in tow of the Harrison
line steamer Scholar. The Belgenland broke
her shaft on July in latitude 4O:57 north
longitude 5I:O7 west. Three days later in
response TO signals of distress. she was
picked up by the Scholar. which was on her
way from Galveston to Liverpool. To-day
Just as news of the anxiety felt at Queens
town for the safety of the Belgenland was
received here. the two steamers were
sighted and several hours later they came
TO anchor in this harbor.
The Belgenland has on board 129 first
class and seventy-four second-class passen-
gers and all were reported well. The acci-
dent caused little excitement. There has
been a mutual exchange of compliments
between officers and passengers on the part
OF the former that those on board bore
themselves so calmly in peril. and on the
part of the latter that the officers by their
coolness and judgment brought their ves-
sci safely through the experience.
Captain Hill, of the Belgenland. said that
he sailed from Philadelphia Juy 5. With
favora be weather a good trip was in pros
pect anG OF the morning of July the YES
sci was in latitude 1851. longitude 81 :O7. near
the Western islands, when the shaft broke.
The fracture was in the intermediate sec
tiOn. Examination showed that the vessels s
hull had suffered no damage. The engineers
made repairs by placing Shut-bands over
the shaft ard the machinery was started.
In half an hour the bands broke and the
steamer was again helpless. Further eff
forts 10 make repairs were fruitless and for
the next four days the steamer lay drift
ing while constant watch was maintained
for a vessel. During this trying period the
officers say, the passengers behaved in an
admirable manner. No rough weather was
encountered. Twice a distant craft was
seen and signals were made, but apparent
Sunday. July 13 at ? a. m, a light was
sighted and four rockets were sent up. They
were seen and soon the Scholar was steam
ing alongside.
When the Scholars captain learned of
the situation he decided to abandon his
voyage and tow the disabled vessel to Hall
fax In three hours. or at o'clock Sunday
morning lines were in position and the
steamers started back. The weather con-
tinued fine and save for heavy seas en-
countered south OF Sable island. the pass
age was made without mishap. OF the
passengers on the Belgenland ninety OF the

will proceed at once for her destination

that the members OF that body show by
what right they hold Office. Judge Cald-
