DIES MONIES, Oct. 2.-(special. Ire
ligious circles in Iowa are greatly exer-
cised over the discovery that the churches
and church people have been systematically
worked by a man who Is now branded by
the Board OF Presbyterian Missions In New
York as a fraud. George NJ. Daniels arrived
in this city about two weeks ago and Sc
cured permission to speak in some of tho
churches. He had a lecture to deliver. He
represented himself to be q former brig
and in Asia Minor now reformed and he
had a thrilling tale to tell of life in Tur-
key. His lecture, which was delivered In
four or five Of the Des Moines churches,
was pronounced excellent. He had strik-
ing costumes and is a fluent talker. He
had papers showing that he had received
an education at a Presbyterian mission in
Persia and later had spoken in leading
churches in England and America. He
depended on voluntary contributions at his
lectures and charged no fee of admission.
How much he received in Des Moines is not
known, but he said he was collecting money
for the establishment Of a mission in
Khurdistan. Saturday Daniels left Des
Moines and appeared in Marshalltown,
where he had made arrangements to speak
in two of the churches. Tho church people
had been notified and he was refused the
right to enter the pulpits. This is the
first time the matter has overtaken Mr..
Daniels. He had previously spoken in Bur-
ington and .ottumwa and was doing a
thriving business.
