Charges Against BOVINE Fall Flat.
Oy the Associated Press.)


New York, April Sin the New York
East Conference of the Methodist Episco-
pal church today the committee TO which
had been referred the charges of heresy
against Prof. Borden p. Bovine, of Boston
University, reported that they found that
none of the five specifications in tho
charge had been substantiated and that
they had therefore acquitted him. This
closed the case, as the action of the com
mittee was final.
Shortly after the report of the com
mittee was read, the Rev. c. S. Wing
presiding elder of the Brooklyn north dis
trict, announced that new charges of q
different nature had been lodged with him
by the Rev. Mr.. Cooke against Professor
BOVINE. These accusations were that
Bovine had written libellous articles, that
he had DETAINED the character of others
and had stirred dissention in the church.
The charges were placed in the hands
of committee of three which Subsequent
ly recommended that they be not consid-
cred and the recommendation was adopt
ed by the conference.

Vicious Assault in Berwick.

AS the result OF vicious attack
made by two men near the Malleable
Iron Plant, Alfred Bower lies at his
home on West Front street. Berwick,
IN very serious condition. There is
little doubt but that the object of the
assault was robbery.
Mr.. Bower, who is q driver en-
ployed by A. ]. Lynch, was driving on
Frease Avenue and had just turned in
to Oak street when one of the rutflans
threw a club at him. The other man
followed this with huge rock, both
missiles striking Bower and partially
dazing him. To prevent himself from
falling from the wagon he grasped the
shaft and trace. in which position he
was further maltreated.
Before he could be removed from
the vehicle the horse took fright and
ran out Oak street, carrying the in
jured man out of reach Of his assail
ants. 1t was not until the horse had
uu q ulsldHCC bllIg MI
Bower recovered sufficiently to handle
the reins. He managed to drive to the
office of DR.. E. l.. Davis where he re- =
ceived medical attention. His ear is
badly torn and lacerated, and the
whole upper part of his body is shock
ingly bruised. After removing him to
his home his shoulders, arms and bo dy
became partly parslyzed; so that it is
thought his injuries are of a more SER
ious nature than was at first expected.
The assailants are known to be Am
ericans who no doubt made the attack
III the vicinity of the Malleable Iron
Works so that the blame for the crime
would fall on the Italian element

Against Rural Delivery.

A concerted movement against the
continuance of the rural mail delivery
system in its present character has
been started by organizations of bust
ness men and merchants all over the
country. The men in these organiza-
tions will protest to Congress against
the extension Of the present system
and will advocate its curtailment
along sweeping lines.
1t is understood that the system has
never been pronouncedly popular with
business men, and opposition against
it has become more pronounced than
ever recently on account of the expos
ure of some of the uses to which it
has been pot, and especially since the
publication of Postmaster General
Wynne's estimate Of the cost Of the
extension Authorized by Congress for
the coming year.

operation of the system they are said
to be more than ever exposed to the
competition of the mail order houses,
and they declare that in many sections
the farmers have stopped coming to
town to buy since the establishment of
the free delivery routes. This, of
course. reacts on the jobbers and
wholesalers in the large cities. and the
esult. is that the trade of both city
and country has suffered severely.
Mr.. Wynne's estimates show that in
order to carry out plans authorized by
Congress there will be needed an ad-
ditional appropriation of more than
So, 900, 000 for the extension of the
rural free delivery system alone. This
will make the total cost of the service
about S27, 900, 600, which, it is estimat-
ed, is a cost of about 81. % head for
the beneficiaries of the system.
