R0CKEFELLER'S MONEY
MISSION BOARD MAKES REPLY
Answer to Letter of Protesting Minis
ters-Reeret Harsh Tone of Criti-
cisms-Do not Paliate Wrono,

New Haven, Conn, May lin a
letter acknowledging the receipt from
the committee of protesting ministers
of documents bearing on the recent ac-
ceptance of the Rockefeller donation
to the American Board of Commission
ers of Foreign Missions, the pastors of
Congregational churches in New Ha-
ven, with the exception of Rev. A. ].
Haynes of the United Church, have
jointly given expression, to their views
in the matter.
The pastors in their letter say that
while reluctant to express their views,
some extraordinary statements of the
protestants call for an aswer. They
deplore any unnecessary and harsh
criticisms of missionary societies.
The letter says: I'VE notice with
regret the following words: The
courts can be bought, the legislatures
can be bought, the churches can be
bought, but the American people
cannot be bought Such unqualified
words under other circumstances
might be passed by without serious no.
tice. but when addressed by num-
Der of Congregational ministers to
their brethren they cannot be left un-
challenged. This statement. so sweep
ing in its condemnation of legislatures,
so calumnious of the judiciary, so un-
just to our churches, we would repu-
diate as untrue in fact and socially de-
structive in its effect.
I'VE desire also expressly to dis
avow the assumption that by the ac-
ceptance of such donations, or by the
use of any mans gift of that which is
lawfully his own, the trustees of a
charity enter into AN alliance with
him in his business, become 'yoke-fel.
lows with him in wrong practices. or
in any way compromise themselves
with questionable methods of corpora
tions.
We wish decisively to deny your as
sumptions that while sustaining the
actions of the American board, we are
not free as We have always been in
our pulpits to rebuke any wrongs that
may be exposed in our economic sys-
TEN.
I'VE in turn must protest when you
insist that because of our customs or
principles concerning charitable con
tributions. we are not in sympathy
with the working people, and that our
ministry has become the silenced wit
ness of any threatening social injus-
tice. You have no reasonable or moral
right to so judge us

Sheriff Bell and Deputy Held at Point
of RevoIvers Until Aid Comes.

Sheriff Bell and Deputy Held at Point
of RevoIvers Until Aid Comes.
Denver. May ia Republican spe-
cial from Cripple Creek last night
says:
James Warford, Walter Henley and
John Chapman, three men recently dis
charged from the county Jail. held ur
the sheriff and his deputy, Thomas Un-
county Jail and the sheriffs office at
1880 O'Clock this morning.
Sheriff Bell had ordered the arrest of
Chapman for carrying concealed weap-
ons. The sheriff took a revolver from
him and ordered Deputy Underwood to
take him to jail On the way the man
drew another weapon, turned on the
deputy, and told him to throw up his
hands. Sheriff Bell went to see what
was the trouble, when he was held up
by James Warford. Warford is the
man who shot and instantly killed
Chris Miller and Ike Liebo two West
ern Federation leaders, at the polling
place in Goldfeld, November Sth Ken
ley is said to have been a former part
ner of Tom Horn.
With the officers covered, the three
men marched them toward the county
Jail, telling them they wanted the guns
that were taken from them. They
changed their minds, however, and
backed away, keeping the officers COW
cred. They passed up Bennett avenue
and started toward Anaconda
Within few minutes a posse had
been formed and went in search Of
them. They We're located near the Gold
Bond property, and after shot or two
had been fired in the air, they were or
dered to throw up their hands. Henley
returned the fire, standing in the open,
but Warford stumbled and fell down
steep hill, nearly cracking his skull.
Seeing that they were surrounded.
they threw up their hands and sur
rendered, but not until Underwood.
who arrested kenley. had hit the latter
over the head with gun. When told
that he ought to be killed, he remarked
to the sheriff:
ITS up to you"
Three revolvers were taken from
Warford and two each from the other
two men. They We're brought back to
the city and taken to the county Jail,
surrounded by strong force of depu-
ties. Had any of the posse been in
edly would have met summary ven
geance.
Warford and Henley were released
recently from the county Jail. Warford
was tried on charge of murder, but
the jury disagreed and the case was
dismissed. Chapman and kenley were
charged with robbing an assay office.
but it was believed impossible to con.
vict them, also.
Thomas Scanlan. a partner of Chap
man and kenley, was sentenced by
Judge Seeds to-day to ten months in
the county jail, to pay a fine of $3.50
and to stand committed until the fine
is paid. Scanlan was convicted of a
brutal assault upon C. +. Perkins in
| Victor last October.
A charge of resisting an officer and
assault with intent to kill will be
| placed against the trio and there will
be no delay in bringing them to trial.

il Paws to Feed sheep.

The New Mexican frequently urges
the benefits which will be derived, in
fact. are being derived, from shelter
ing and feeding stock during cold
spells in the winter. New Mexico
stockmen will have to come to this
sooner or later, and the sooner the
better. Says the Colfax County Stock
man this week: From reports it is
almost safe to say that during the
past Ave months over one-third of our
cattle. and sheep have died. 1t has
become a known fact that stockmen
hereafter must provide winter shelter
and feed to carry their stock through
In case Of q hard season." -

HAD A BAD CHECK.
This Leads to Arrest of John Kinnaird
for Forgery.

John Kinnaird was arrested at Ross
vile this morning and landed in the
county Jail charged with forgery and
having a forged check on his person.
kinnaird has been working on con-
struct1on gang near RosSville for some
time Saturday he received a check
from ]. E. Lovelace. foreman of the
gang, for three dollars. A short time
after, it is charged, he came into the
Rossville State bank and presented a
check for $4S-50 signed with the name
of j. E. Lovelace. There was such a
discrepancy between the signature on
the check and the signatures on other
checks that had been signed by Mr..
Lovelace that the suspicious of the
bank officials were at once aroused.
They retained the check and sent for
an officer who arrived and placed Kin
naird under arrest. When searched a
number of slips of paper bearing the
name of j. E. Lovelace were found
upon his person showing that he had
at least taken the zprecaution to try to
initiate the signature. The forgery
was very bungling and it is easy to see
where the signature on the three dol
lar check has been traced with a lead
pencil. Kinnaird makes no explana
ton as to how he came into the pos
session of the $4850 check and says
that he did not intend to present it but
that he thought that it was the three
dollar check he was handing to the
oa Shier

position. 1t asserts that man is in
solvent only after fair appraisement
is made of all his properties and it is
found that their value will not offset
his debts. Now none of us know that
Mr.. Devlin's properties are less than
his obligations. His affairs were badly
tangled up, but that is no proof that
he is insolvent.
"Now the second proposition which
Mr. Kane and Mr.. Bradley say the
trustees must prove" continued Mr..
Allen, lis that the bank knew when it
received these properties after its
doors were closed, that Mr.. Devlin in
tended to prefer the claims of the de-
positors against it, to the general
claims against his estate from other
sources.
SHOULD the trustees be unable to sub
stantiate the first contention, namely
that Devlin was insolvent, then the sec
ond proposition is of course of no mo-
ment. Should the first be proven how
ever. then the second can still be made
stumbling block in their way.
Now" said Mr.. Allen, 81 would rath-
er have little said about this for the
this in too optimistic a light. We none
of US know the exact conditions of
things. But feel pretty good about
the matter personally. Mr.. Bradley is
getting information right along and is
compiling a statement for his own bene-
fit. This. 1 suppose will be made pub
lie when the creditors meeting is held.
1.-THE way in which came to find out
about this matter which L have men
toned said Mr.. Allen. was by ask
ing Mr.. Bradley on Saturday whether
or not those who withdrew their money
on the last days of the banks existence
might have to return it. Mr.. Bradley
then showed me letter from MI. Kane
to the effect that the latter .contended
that all deposits and Withdrawals IN the
bank right up to the very last minute
were legitimate because the bank
not insolvent, but rich over his 1ndebt-
edness. Mr.. Kane argued in this letter
that if the Withdrawals would be order
ed returned, then the deposits of the last
few days would have to be paid back
for the simple reason that admission
would be made that the bank knew OF
the falling financial condition of Mr.
Devlin.
No continued Mr. Allen, 1.-The posi-
ton of the receiver of the bank is that
no deposits Withdrawals or securities
placed into the bank were preferred, be-
cause the bank officials felt confident
THAT Mr. DevlinS assets were greater
than his obligations. And they feel that
the securities placed in the bank after
its failure were perfectly legitimate and
belong to the bank exclusively and
should be used for the sole purpose OF
paying off the claims of the deposit
tors
Tt NAV be that the trustees will never
call for these securities or make de-
tors against Devlin seem disposed to
wait and not have their meeting for
some time yet, but to give the receivers
all the chance in the world to thorough
" investigate the situation and find out
what resources are left to apply against

CAN THEY TAKEIT.
Question About Devlin Property
Given to Bank.
Mr.. Kane and Mr.. Bradley Ex-
pect to Hold It..
GOOD FOR DEPOSITORS.
1t Would Mean Their Share Is
Larger.
Why Deposits Drawn Late Won't
Be Returned.

Mr.. Kane, deputy comptroller of
the currency, and Receiver Bradley
are proceeding on the theory that the
million dollars worth of property or
more which C. ]. Devlin gave to the
First National bank after it closed its
doors, to secure depositors from loss,
can be used for that purpose and will
not have to be turned over to the
trustees to be spread over all the
claims, alongside of other assets.
81 had long talk with Mr.. Brad
ley on Saturday." said Judge S. H.
Allen today, a member of the de-
positors' committee, ''and ne said that
if this contention is upheld and main
tanned, as he is quite sure that it will
be, then the depositors will lose very
little, if anything. according to the way
things look now
To interpret this phase of the COM
picated situation, most of the inter-
ested people in the matter will recall
the fact that on Tuesday after the Sat
urday on which the doors of the bank
were closed, Clifford Histed, Mr.. Dew
Inns personal attorney, stated that he
had turned over more than million
dollars of assets to the bank to pro-
tect the depositors. Most of this was
property,s while some was the cash
surrender value of life insurance.
What is the argument by which
Comptroller Kane and Receiver Brad
lev" was asked of Mr.. Allen, con
tend that they can prevent the trustees
of the estate after they are elected
from taking these assets and applying
them on all claims. and not those
against the bank alone ?"
There are two propositions" re-
piled Mr.. Allen THE first is that
the trustees will have to prove that
Devlin was insolvent when he turned
over these properties to the bank.
Commonly speaking, we understand a
man to be insolvent when ever he gets
into a corner and cannot pay his debts
But the bankruptcy law has a different

cor THE WRONG CATTLE
Echo of Dewey Berry Case in Supreme
Court.

An echo of the celebrated Dewey
Berry feud came up today in the SUI
preme court. 1t is a cattle case in which
Beach Berry was the plaintiff in the
lower court, and got judgment for $500
against Matt Mahoney, sheriff of Raw
Inns county.
Beach Berry is a son of Daniel p.
Berry, a brother of Alpheus and Burch
Berry, and cousin of Roy Berry. DAN
lei, Alpheus and Burch were all killed
in the fight with the Dewey ranchers,
and Roy was badly wounded.
The action now filed in the supreme
court was begun in September, 1902,
while all the Berrys were alive. Sheriff
Mahoney of Rawlins county came out
to Beach Berrys farm, and attached
seven cows and IA steers, which were
claimed under mortgage by the Reeves
Commission company. As result of the
cows. being taken away, their seven
calves died of starvat ton. Beach Berry
sued for $500. The Reeves company
claimed that the mortgage had been
placed on the cattle by Beach Berry's
father and brother. Beach showed that
the cattle belonged to him, and got a
Judgment for $500. The sheriff appeals
the case.

LELAND IS PLEASED.
Says That Devlin Mines Are Paying
Handsomely.

The income from the Devlin coal
mines in Crawford county exceed the
operating expenses by neat sum. ac-
cording to the statement made today
by Receiver Cyrus Leland
THE expenses were all paid last
Saturday" said Mr.. Leland in refer
ring to the Devlin mines in Crawford
county. THE men were paid and no
money was borrowed with which to
make the payment. The expenses do
not begin to amount to what we are
getting for the coal, and this is in the
dullest season of the year. The pay
roll in Crawford county amounts to
about 100000 month. We are
selling all the slack coal. This must
be sold as it will not keep if piled up.
We now have large contract for slack
and what is not taken by contract is
sold by the statesmen who have been
instructed to hustle for the sale of
slack. By September 1 the demand
for coal will increase and from then on
there willvbe a demand for coal for
domestic purposes and the mines will
do much better even than now

JOINT INJUNCTIONS.
Move Commences Against Projectors
of Property.

Two injunction suits were filed this
morning with the clerk of the district
court. These suits are directed
against the owners of the buildings
where the joints are now and have
been running in the past and the pro-
prietors of the joints. The one
against Joseph Artzer. John. Miller,
Herman Klauer, George Klauer and
NJ. Snattinger is virtually the same
case that was filed some weeks ago,
when a mistake was made in the loca-
ton of the building and the joint was
located some where near the middle of
Sixth avenue.
The other case filed is against Frank
Plamondin and Jack Coleman, R. F.
Hodgins, A. A. Townsend, Vincent
Kaczynski, Samantha Dudley, Guilford
Dudley and Margaret Dudley. The
land upon which this building is located
was owned by Guilford Dudley and was
| leased for term of years by Hodgins,
Townsend and Kaczynsk and a build
| ing was erected upon it in which a drug
store has since been located. This is the
place that was pulled by County Attor-
ney Hungate upon the complaint that
favoritism was being shown to the beer
combine.
These complaints were sworn to by
W. L. Dexter, secretary of the State
Temperance Union, but brought in the
name of the state. The petitf<n asks
that the proprietors be restrained from
renting the properties for illegal bust
ness and that the owners and lessees
of the buildings be restrained from fur
Their engaging in the liquor business
at the locations given or permitting the
buildings to be used for such purposes.
Besides the restraining order the court
is asked to allow attorney fees in each
case to the amount of $780,

But the creditors are perfectly willing
to have it so. The real information, in
fact the first positive knowledge as to
the status of affairs, which will be given
to the public will come at that time.
The receivers will have to make a re-
port of their findings and the creditors
will file their claims. But the general
attitude of those having things in
charge just now, is to keep all of the
interests neutral and prevent any fric-
ton. Mr.. Bradley's contention may be
sufficient to ever prevent the question
from being raised. and if these securi-
ties are worth their face value, it will
mean a very great deal to the deposit
tors.
