THE KISS COST HIM $500.
San Francisco Baker Settles Suit
Instituted by Miss Nelson.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
San Francisco. March S.-John Kohs has
Paid 500 to Miss Adelia Nelson for a kiss.
In 1900 Miss Nelson sued him for SEQ. al
leging that in July. 1850. while she was at
work In the rear of the premises owned by
kohs, he came back from a round of
bread-delivering at his customers doors.
Seeing her there and alone. he walked up.
deliberately put his arm around her waist
and kissed her. The result of this unasked
embrace was that Miss Nelson was seized
with commissions. was confined To her bed
for thirty days, spent SO in medical serv-
ices and medicine and was So injured In
health and feelings that nothing short OF
S.u0 damages would repair the mischief.
Miss Nelson told her story to a jury in
Judge Hunts court a year ago. but lost
a decision. principally because Harry Nor
ris. an employee Of Kohs. aid he had often
kissed her and that nothing like commissions
followed. The case was placed on Judge
Hunts calendar for retrial. At the last
kohs weakened and avoided the publicity
OF another day in court by paying 500 in
full settlemnt of Miss Nelson's claim.

! CALL 70 RELIGIOUS TEACHERS.
New National Organization 10 Re Formed
at q Convention in chicago.

The Council OF Seventy. which Ia the
body Of Biblical teachers that directs the
American Institute Of Sacred Literature,
has called a convention TO meet in Chicago
In February or March. 1908, The purpose
OF this convention will be the formation
OF an organization TO improve the character
and methods Of the religious and moral
instruction which is impaired through
Sunday schools. libraries, the press and
other agencies
The determination to form such an as
sociation is the result Of feeling widely
expressed among persons interested in the
religious and ethical training OF young
Americans that the means at present in
use for this purpose are inadequate, that
the subject does not receive the attention
which 1t merits and that the various or
CARNATIONS engaged in this kind Of work
ought TO be brought into closer coopera-
ton. The question of acceptable religious
training in secular day schools. these per-
sons believe, should also receive broad
and practical consideration.
The call Is signed by list Of prominent
representatives OF religious and secular
education, Sunday school work. he press,
the pulpit and the lay field. These sig
natures number AZ and many Of them
are accompanied by strong supplementary
statements Of personal views upon the
subject.
