lip Jones, Frankfort business man,

ers' State bank, of Frankfort, and fin
ally to the James River bank. also of
Frankfort, where the forgery was de-
tected Green, the Redfield man who

ties are doing their best to locate and
apprehend Miller SO he may be pun
ished for his crime.

Eastern Lines Decide TO Stop Paying
Steamship Commission.
Executive officials of eastern roads
again have met and solemnly resolved
to stop paying commissions on east
bound steamship business. which ag-
gregates fully 100000 annually. This
resolution is said to take effect OH
Sunday night and to be the sixteenth
of its kind passed by the executives
during the last five years. The latest
resolution has coupled with it prop
osition looking to the pooling of the
steamship business after January 1.
provided a plan can be arranged
which viii prove satisfactory. Such
division. however. could hardly take
effect until President t. Tuttle, Of the
Boston & Maine. decides what roads
are entitled to use differential fares.
No direct charges were made in the
meeting against any road, but those
roads which were paying commissions
admitted the fact and declared they
we're meeting competition.

Baltimore Preacher Says Christian
Science Is Bnnco Scheme.
At banquet OF the Churchman'S
club In Baltimore Thursday night the
Rev. DIR. VIM. Harmon Van Allen, OF
Boston. who was one OF the speakers,
made q bitter attack upon Christian
Science and Mrs. Mary Baker @. Eddy.
He said in part:
'Eddyism uses the Christian term
inology, processes reverence for Christ
and the bible. pretends to exalt God
more highly than other religions do
and ingeniousiy mingles much that is
good and true and indisputabie with
its own fantastic errors. 1t is there
fore we'll calculated to do the work
satan designs to do. namely. to destroy
faith in the religion OF the Christian
church and to substitute an anti
Christian caricat,ire. 1t Is gigantic
bunco scheme wherein the victim
thinks he has the treasure. but instead
holds only the worthless imitation"
