PU LUN NOT At CHURCH,
BECAUSE NOT INVITED
William Fortune Answers Clerical
Criticism of Nature of Princes
Sunday.

Members of the committees who have had
charge of the entertainment of Prince Pu
Lun resent the statements of ministers of
indianapolis made in yesterdays meeting
of Methodist ministers regarding his High
ness not being taken to church Sunday.
William Fortune has issued a statement
concerning the stand taken by the minis
tiers. in which he points out that although
the programme for the princes entertain
ment had been made public ten days prior
to his arrival, no minister said anything
about having him attend church. The
committees contend that 1t was the duty
of the ministers to invite his Highness to
attend one of the churches.
Prince Pu Lun's absence from church
Sunday the main topic of discussion
yesterday at the meeting of the Methodist
ministers. The ministers were warm in
their condemnation of this flaw in the
programme of the princes visit and were
of opinion that his entertainment Sunday
gave to the city not Christian Sabbath,
but continental Sunday.
All the ministers spoke on the subject
at some length and with no little gusto,
regretting the fact that although his High
of our civilization the church has been neg
lected. Among those who spoke were DR..
Stansfield. DIR. Hurlstone; Rev. Hyde: Rev.
w. b. Farmer and the Rev. Samuel Will
son. The latter declared that the neglect
was an outrage upon the Christian Sab
bath In answering the charges made by
the Methodist ministers, Mr. Fortune said
last night:
1T is regrettable that there should be
criticism from any source affecting the
visit of the Prince The committees have
all done their utmost and have hoped that
the occasion might not be marred i'm any
way. If a mistake has been made it is in
no degree chargeable to the prince. He has
been quite willing to accept all invitati
If possible. The hospitality of our people
has greatly exceeded the limitations of the
princes visit and the strength of his en-
tertainers, If not the prince himself Among
the many invitations of various kinds there
has been none from any member of the
clergy TO attend church service The
prince is wholly blameess. Possibly the
committee made a mistake but they know
how greatly his strength had been taxed
when he retired after midnight following
a day of suc'i strenuous activity that all
who accompanied him were nearly exhaust
ed and he was not disturbed until after
noon on Sunday, when ii became necessary
of invitations. Notwithstanding this, | am
quite sure that he would have attended a
church service If there had been a sug-
gestion or an invitation TO him. Through
out his stay among US he has graciously ac-
cepted every invitation. far as possi-
bic. and has not knowingly done ANYTHING
that would give the slightest cause for
criticism. Whatever censure may be in
dulged in cannot apply to our guest with
out the greatest Injustice "

A. F. Shafer, assistant secretary of the
Employers Association of Indianapolis,
after he had attended meeting last night,
where thirteen contracting firms were rep

that any plasterers scale had been signed
