HARPER IS CRITICISED
A Massachusetts Baptist Association

Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Springfield, Mass, Feb. 2.-The West
field Baptist association which includes all
the Baptist churches of several towns
and cities in this vicinity has adopted
strong resolutions condemning President
William R. Harper Of the University of
Chicago for his recent speech before the
Young Mems bible class Of the Fifth Ave-
nue. church, New York, in which he said
that the colleges are passing out Of the
hands of the church and that the message
of the times to the minister was "hands
Off" In the course Of the signed reso-
lutions the association says:
We trust that the aversion of the president
of Chicago university toward ministers and
churches thus frankly indicated to our young
men and parishioners is not vet incurable.
We protest, however, against this censorious
disposition, because these same educational
foundations were devised, guaranteed and asst
ed by the churches with the aid, encouragement
and gratuitous services Of the ministry. The
Baptists of the country were solicited and raised
certain apportionment of the first 81, OOO, 900
of the endowment OF Chicago university.

EAGER FOR REBATES .
Citizens Ask Drawbacks on Taxes
Paid 20 Years Ago.

The recent announcement in The
o u rna l that the council committee
on taxation would recommend that the
city engineer be instructed to adjust all
excess sewer assessments for 1898 and
issue certificates for the different amounts
claimed, brought a horde Of would be
claimants to the city; engineers office
Among the applicants for rebates were
mon who rclafmed that they had paid too
much for their sewers twenty years ago. s
II don't see, "rcomplained. one, why the
taxpayers of 1898 and 1899 are any more
entitled to fair play than we are. If they
are entitled to recover whatever amount
they paid in excess of the actual cost of
the improvements why amt we?''
{ That's the question:" replied Chief
Clerk r. L. Cox, smiling through mist
of tears. why, amt you? Now, what the
committee did on'ttamake it. so. The
councils got to act yet. I would suggest
to you gentlemen who: think you have a
claim against the city that you do as
the 1898 and 1899 claimants have done
and ask the committee on taxation to do
likewise by you.''
Mr.. Cox forgot to inform them that
the council set aside SIS, 900 last year with
which to reimburse those who could show
that they are entitled to rebates on ex-
cess assessments. To satisfy all valid
claims it is estimated that the city would
be forced to appropriate $4,000 annually
for not less than twenty years. ~

DRAGGED UNDER CAR
More Details Of the Death of Miss
Paddock Are Received,

Word has been received in regard to the
death Of Miss Emily Paddock, former mat
ron of Maternity Hospital, which took
place in Los Angeles. Cal AS she was
about to board car she either fell or was
dragged under it and sustained injuries
from which she died ten minutes later.
No one saw the accident and no one knows
just how it occurred. The motorman, as
the car approached, saw that Miss Pad
dock was standing too close to the tracks
and called to her to step back, but when
the front of the car had gone half length
past her, he received a quick-stop signal
and the car was brought to standstill.
Miss Paddock was found lying against
the rear brake beam. Her clothing ap-
parently had been caught In rod and had
dragged her under the car. She was taken
into neighboring house and died in a
few minutes. Miss Paddock went to
California last November and had been
living with her sister In Los Angeles. The
news of her death came as a shock to her
many friends in Minneapolis.

years old to-day. He was born in New
York city in the vicinity Of the present
Bowery, and at the age of 10, before he
came to look upon the fact that his birth
day and Lincoln's fell on the same day as
somewhat Of a coincidence, his father
took him gently but firmly by tn hand and
led him to the office Of Wall Street
broker where he commenced the struggle
for life. Here he learned to make bal
ance sheet, and in fact so famfliarized
himself with figures that he has been
keeping accounts ever since.
He came to Illinois in the sos and en-
tered the land department Of the Illinois
Central road at Chicago. He went to the
front with Company I, Second Illinois cav
airy and served through the war. Be-
coming connected with the construction
department Of the Northern Pacific road
after the war, he made Minneapolis his
headquarters in 1875. He entered the con-
troller's office in 1889 and in 1888 was

appoint a member of the board to serve as
