going from there to Russia In case peace was
declared or whether to seek to attach him

which he holds his permit issued last year. He
decided upon the latter course, and will pro

John Guerrero, accused Of conducting .

defense proved that the bottled goods was

|DR. NORTHROP ON
OIL KINGS GIFT
HE WOULDN'T ASK HIM FOR HIS
MONEY.
But When It Is Offered Voluntarily, He
Says, The Case Becomes Different
Thinks Diversion Of Money Into Its
Proper Channels Is Commendable.

President Cyrus Northrop of the Uni
versity. of Minnesota said today that, in
his opinion the American Board of
Foreign Missions should not ask John
D. Rockefeller for money with which to
carry on the work Of the Board.
Butt he added, ttwhere the money
is voluntarily offered and used for
gof4d5 purpose the case becomes differ
Mr.. Rockefeller has already given a
considerable amount to the fund the
board is using in missionary work and
the money has been accepted by it's pru-
Dental committee, which has complete
charge Of the organization between an
nual conventions. DR.. Northrop said:
There is much to be said for and
against the action of the committee. In
the first place, there is a dispute as to
how the gift was made. On one hand,
it is said that the board asked Mr..
Rockefeller for contribution, on the
other thatN Mr.. Rockefeller gave the
money, with no suggestion from the
board. Probably the truth is that a
relative of Mr.. Rockefeller, who is on
the board, solicited the gift without
consulting any other member. Be that
as it may, the money was accepted by
the prudential committee and half of it
has already been spent in carrying, on
the work of the organization.
From One Steward to Another.
GAS to the wisdom Of accepting this
money, there seems to be a difference
of opinion. The point made by those
opposed, that the money was dishonest
~ acquired, is strong in some respects:
f # all the humane: pholanthropic and
to analyze the gifts given them, then
undoubtedly the board Of missions
should do the same and ascertain how
the money given was obtained. On the
other hand, men are only stewards and
if the money all belongs to the Lord
and if one steward turns money over to
another who can use it for it's proper
puorpose, the money ultimately reaches
it's proper destination.
~EI am not insensible to the force OF
the argument that taking money from
men who have gained it by methods
certainly not Christian and probably
not ethical, has a tendency to make PEG
pie feel that the organization which &C
cepts the money has not the highest
| ideals and the result may be bad. II
this case, it is quite likely that it thu
board had declined the gift, it woult
have been the gamer by contribution
from those who would be delighted a
such action. But from what know o:
the facts, I am not prepared to say
what the action of the board shoult
have been.
Protests of Value.
: "While I think that there are tw'
. sides to the question, I am hearth.

the highest ideals express sentiments il

left unturned by Crawford and his al

George Palmer, and their friends to

and G. NJ. Lundin were riding. The
victims were commanded to hold up
their hands, Heine Lundin moved
slowly and one of the bandits becom-
ing impatient, shot the young man thru

fed and then the three living men were
pushed off the rapidly moving train
near Big Lake. They escaped death
miraculously.
The robbers and murderers escaped.
A posse headed by Sheriff Ward gave
chase and finally located them in the
hotel at Rogers Siding. Going armed ss
to the door of the men Is room, the Off
GERS demanded admittance.
Sorry He Didn't Shoot.
Crawford says that he climbed up and
looked over the transom. He saw the
men, one Of whom carried lamp. He
could have killed all Of them, but
didn't. He now says that his failure
to shoot was the greatest mistake of his
life. He opened the door and found
himself covered by several guns. He
surrendered and after hearing was
brought to Minneapolis tn enext day.
