THE RED CROSS SOCIETY.
Miss Barton, in Formal Statement, Outlines
Plan 10 Broaden lis Scope.
II IL the Esta biisbnient Of Rir,t Aid
Department., 90 be Most
Thorough.

New York, May 90.-For the first time
since the strife began in the Red Cross
Miss Clara Barton, in formal state
ment has made reference to the contro-
versy and has announced a plan to
widen the scope Of the society's work.
She says
During the entire period Of the diff
ferences among the sections of the Red
Cross | have never once felt that II was
the desire of the American people that
should personally enter within the circle
OF disturbance and ! have consequently
remained a silent and sorrowtul specta-
tor OF controversy that appeared 10
me TO be leading where no true friend OF
the Red Cross would care 10 follow
Referring 10 allegations concerning
expenditures, Miss Barton says.
II have administered with free but
careful hand the benefactons Of what
ever nature that have been intrusted TO
me, and as freely have given Of all
that possessed OF strength health and
private means"
The new plan is the establishment OF
a first aid department There will be
two branches OF this work. An emer-
gency case containing material and
surgical dressings has been devised,
with emergency charts arranged for in
slant reference. giving simple directions
for dealing with every conceivable case
Of accident pending the arrival of the
doctor
An organization has been created for
introducing these cases for corporations,
mills and other light employers Of labor,
schools and private houses.
The other branch provides for the for
nation Of first aid emergency classes in
every city and ambulance corps among
employees Of mills, factories, railroads
and other corporations and police and
other employees. These will be instruct
ed and drilled In first aid methods.

believe that Randall had employed ne
groes TO kill Brown. Tho three men
were taken into custody and one Of
the negroes confessed that Randall
had hirsad them TO commit the crime.
The trio we've taken out about o'clock
this morning and lynched. their bodies

CAME LIKE A LAMB.
Went Away a scandai.Monger Who
Failed TO Make Matters Right

Mrs. Dehln OF this city, at one time
resident of Mt Pleasant. today said
to the Deseret News
81 was present at the meeting at
which the Rev. Mr.. Mcmillan is said to
have taken revolver into the pulpit,
/ remember II very distinctly. This was
at Mt Pleasant where he spoke In the
l.. ID. s. westinghouse | recall that he
asked the privilege Of speaking, and the
Bishop William Seely, invited him to
the stand. He accepted the invitation,
and spoke for some time. The ward au-
thorities were on the stand, and like the
congregation listened TO him with the
greatest respect and treated him In the
same manner. The occasion was wholly
pleasant and no such incident as he pro-
claims ever took place. His story is
false in all respects. Sometime after
wards an eastern publication reached
our county with this and other ISLANDERS
that reflected on the moral character Of
our young people The young folks had
frequently been invited 10 his home
where social games were played anu
converse held. The result was that for
a time Mr., Mcmillan was Well liked by
the young people, Suddenly there was
a CndnBt IN MS utHitdtlpIs ~ NdAht
about the time of the publication Of the
story referred to. He was taken to task
for 1t and promised to give II emphatic
denial. This, however, he never did so
far as ! know. The people We're very
10th to believe that Mr.. Mcmillan was
guilty Of the charges made and contin-
ued for some time TO receive him as
they had done previously But when he
failed to make correction Of the sland-
ers, that he declared he would set right,
they confronted him with the declara-
ton that he had acted shamelessly and
was unworthy Of their future friend
ship or respect. This included non
"Mormons" as well as "Mormons; for II
is a fact that the Gentiles Of the town
became so ashamed OF him that they re-
fused TO longer affiliate with him. 1t
was a matter of common report and
knowledge in the community that Mr..
Mcmillan had made himself a scandal
monger and that he had betrayed the
people who opened not only their house
Of worship 10 him but their homes as
well. When he first came among us he
was received with very warm well
come and was well thought OF. No one
ever believed for moment that he
would be guilty of what he afterwards
did. When his true character finally
became known there was general satis-
faction at his departure

REFUTED LONG AGO.
Infamous Charge Exploded In the
Deseret News In 1881.

The falsity Of the Mcmillan charges
was Thoroughly proved IN the columns
OF the Deseret News more than 20 years
ago, as win be seen by the following
comment and aflidaYits that appeared
In this paper on Dec. q. 1881
The falsehood has been told In a great
many public places In the United
States, and has been repeated In the
public prints. that at a netting held IN
Sanpete, some years ago. President
Brigham Young and several OF the
Twelve Apostles assailed young Pres
byterian preacher from the public
stand, end that President Young urged
the people to KIN Mcmillan. That the
Presbyterian went to that part OF Utah
10 establish schools, which had not
previously existed there. and that the
Mormon leaders, being opposed to ed
ucation, desired 10 put him out OF the
way. Also that when he went into the

admitted by MCMILLAN himself. Il has
been made to do duty over and over

afIidayits have been obtained from re-

The U. S. S. Nero. which in 1900

The top of this mountain is within
eighty-two fathoms of the surface.
