Cambridge, Mass, Dec. .19.-Dr. Ly;;
man Abbott, in sermon to Harvard
students, has announced his belief IN
a religion founded, not on the, Bible,
but on science and the outreachings OF
the human heart. -,
II wonder,' he said, eff you will
understand me when l say that l no
longer believe in great first cause.
MY God is a great and ever present
force, which is manifest in all the &C.
tivities of man and all the workings
of nature.
II believe in a God who is in and
thru and of everythinsgy-not an ap
sentee God, whom we have to reach
thru Bible or some other outside aid
but a God who is closer to us than
hands or feet. Science, literature and
history tell us that there is one eter
nal energy, that the Bible no Longer
can be accepted as ultimate; that many
of it's laws were copied from other re
igions; that the Ten Commandment
did not spring spontaneously iron
Moses, but were, like all laws, grad
| ual growth, and that man is a crea
| ture, not creation.
"No thinking man will say there art
many energies. The days Of -polytheisn
are past. There is only one energy
That energy has always been working
1t is an Intelligent energy. No SCI
enlist can deny it. 1t was working
before Christ g time, even as 1t IS now. ,

KOCH PLEADS not
GUILTY OF MURDER
Trial of New Ulm Dentist for the
', Death of Gerhard Is Set
for Dec. 81.
defendant PERFECTLY
COMPOSED IN COURT
Ssiis Attorneys Sought an Earlier
Date, but Were Overruled
by the Court.
EEp ecial to The Journal.

Especial to The Journal.
New Ulm, Mimi, Dec. le:-Dr.
George R. Koch pleaded not guilty in
district court this morning to the
charge of numbering DR.. L. A. Gerhard
on the evening Of Nov. /.
The prisoner was calm and collected
and made his plea in firm, strong
voice. The courtroom was well filled,
many ladies attending for the first
time at this term.
DR.. Koch was brought in by Sheriff
Julius in company with two, prisoners
charged with committing petty larceny
at Sleepy Eye. After these men had
pleaded guilty, Judge Weber inquired
If there were more prisoners. IL. w.
Childs of st. Paul, representing the
state, then arose and read the charge
against DR.. Koch, who in turn advanced
to the bar and made his plea. Every
eve in the room was riveted upon the
young dentist, but he never qualled
Many of his friends were in the room
but the majority of those confronting
him had little or no sympathy to ex
tend.
Senator Somerville for the defense
asked that the case be tried at thl'
term and be taken up in the regular
order on the criminal calendar. MIR
Childs, on the other side, asked for more
time, saying that he had only been en-
gagged upon the case a few days ant
had not had opportunity to study tn
evidence and thoroly prepare himsel
for a trial so important as this one
lie said the state could be ready by
week from tomorrow, Dec. q.
Senator Somerville spoke a secon'
time in the interest of an earlier trlal
He said the state had been gatherln
evidence for month and half an
that citizens committee, formed t
reinforce it, had been swearing and e1
amining witnesses and collecting test
mony thru experts and detectives TO
several weeks.
Judge Weber, replying to counse
said the statement of Mr.. Childs az
pealed to him as just and fair and tina
Tuesday, Dec. q, would be fixed as tn
date of the beginning of the trial.
George M. Popham, the Chicago a
torney, will assist the state unofficial,
Plea being entered and the day Of HI
trial selected, DR.. Koch was returned
his cell at the county Jail.
Citizens of New Ulm are pleased wit
Che action of the court. They al
strongly arrayed on one side or til
other and are anxious that the gui
or innocence of Dr.. Koch be speedll
established. Sentiment has set
strong against the prisoner.
Attorneys on both sides believe thu
it will take about three weeks to tt
the case. They think that the jul
cannot be secured within two day
that the taking Of testimony will Q
cupy more than two weeks and t!
arguments will take up the rest of tt
time.

SEVASTOPOL HIT
T0GO'S FLEET HARD
One Vessel Sunk and Others
Struck by Shells Admiral
Togo's Report.
CHINESE SAY FOUR
VESSELS WENT DOWN
Russian Torpedo Boat Said to
Have Been Sunk at Port
Arthur.

Toxic, Dec. 19.-9 a.m.-Vice Adj
mlral Togo's report upon the torpedo
operations against the Russian turret-
ship Sevast0pol was received today: 1T
says:
On the night Of Dec. IA our torpedo
fotillas made gallant and brave series
of attacks against the Russian turret-
ship Sevastopol.
The fiotillas arrived outside the en-
trance of Port Arthur about midnight on
that date. The leading fotilla, under
Commander Unchida, and a special tor
pedoboat, partly for attack and partly
to reconnoiter, approaching the Sevasto-
pol at 1 o'clock, and under the search
lights and fire Of the, enemys ships and
shore batteries they aEReked her.
A shell struck Commander Mitamura's
torpedoboat, and four shots hit Command
err Nakamutas boat, wounding three
sailors
| Subsequently our flotillas attacked, act
| ing Independently. Commander Otakrs
| fiotilla approached the closest and deliv-
cred the most vigorous attack.
| While retreating one torpedoboat re-
ceived several shots simultaneously her
commander and five others being killed.
The boat lost her freedom Of motion and:
Lieutenant Nakahara's boat went to the
rescue and, despite the heavy fire en-
deavored to save her. While towing the
boat the enemy's shells severed the haw-
ser. Lieutenant Nakahara's boat was
also hit and one man killed. Subsequent
" several shells hit and almost disabled
Lieutenant Nakahara's boat, forcing him
to abandon his comrade ship, which was
sinking. Lieutenant Nakahara steamed
back, rescued the crew and abandoned
| the torpedoboat to her fate.
Commander Kawase's boat, belonging to
the same flotilla, was struck by a shell,
killing one Of the crew and wounding
Lieutenant Takahashi and two sailors.
Lieutenant Shono's boat was hit and
one Of the crew killed and five wounded.
The boat was temporarily disabled, but
his comrade ships with Lieutenants Wat
taeube and Mort commanding, protected
and rescued her. All the other boats
bravely facing the enemy's fire, succeeded
in delivering attacks without suffering
any damage.
The watch tower, reporting on the fol,
lowing morning, said that the Sevasta.
: pol had lowered at the bows considerably
: facing toward south-southeast. Her con
dition is such that she does not chang.
3 her position in the current. She is an
t chored close inshore in shallow water.
