were passed as deacons: M. D. Oben-
shain, w. F. Haskins, w. l.. Barnes and
A. Jaeger. To these and the other
young ministers in the first periods of
service Bishop Cranston mainly direct
ed his discourse.
His address was succession of sug-
gestions and recommendations that his
years of work in the pulpits of various
charges and in the offices of the con-
ference have presented to him as ad-
! yisable. His address was thus not a
connected discourse, but a series of
ideas which were delivered with the
emphasis and manner characteristic of
Bishop Cranston.
He stated that the preacher at this
day is not regarded as a fundamental
source of knowledge as in former years
when the members of his charge would
| ply him with inquiries on all phases of
learning. He instead is an Interpreter
| of the bible and an expounder of it's
doctrines.
The failure Of today of the minister,
| the bishop stated, is his failure to iden-
fifty himself as preacher; instead he
has tendency to regard himself as n
salaried occupant of the pulpit, and it
has OF late become characteristic to
classify the preacher by its salary as
such-amount-a-year man. The bishop
urged that this point of view be thrown
aside and the preacher look always
upon. himself as saver of mems souls
and an uplifter of character.
The speaker also .dwelt. for some
time on the likelihood of the minister at

COURT RULES AGAINST WALSH.
Books Of Banks and Other Enterprises
Competent Evidence.

Competent Evidence.
Chicago, Nov. 20.-Judge Anderson,
In the trial Of John r. Walsh yester-
day, ruled that the books of the Chi
cago National bank and of the other
Walsh enterprises constituted compe-
tent evidence, and that counsel for
Walsh had no constitutional right to
exclude them. Following up this VIC
tory the prosecution through the tes-
timony of National Bank Examiner
E. P. Moxey proceeded to trace six in
stances of alleged irregularities in ac-
counts which, it is c~ontended, indicate
mlsapplication of the funds of the
Chicago National by it's former presi-
dent. That Mr.. Moxey was permitted
to testify as an expert in accounts
was due to another. ruling by the
court, who declared his testimony adj
missible after the defendants attor-
neys had made every effort to have it
excluded. From book to book through
out the afternoon the bank examiner
traced transactions and pointed out
connecting links through a maze of
figures and at the close of the session
it appeared that the task set before
him would keep him occupied for
days, since each of the 100 counts in
the indictment must be traced
through a half dozen or more books.

OUT OF FAKE MAIL ORDER

OFFERED jtWflRY VERY CHEAP
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE FROM
COAST TO COAST TAKEN IN
By ADVERTISING.

Chicago. Nov. 2O.-Charles E. Mar.
shall, who for two weeks conducted a
m%ail-order business at 324 Washington
boulevard, offering $4,000 worth of
bankrupt jewelry' at something like
a cent on the dollar, was not there
yesterday afternoon when Col. James
E.. Stuart, chief inspector of the post
Office, called to see him. Several thou
sand people all over the country who
had sen money to Marshall, attracted
by his advertisement, Buy your
Christmas gifts now" would be dis.
appointed, the colonel thought.
He found several hundred copies of
newspapers containing Marshall's ad-
v~ertisement, several hundred letters
from publishers and nearly 200 bills
for advertising.
Collected About $4,000.
Before Marshall took alarm and fed
it is believed he must have gathered
in between $4,000 and 100000 frop
persons who had an idea they could
buy diamond rings at S. each.
Col. Stuart had gone down to his
Office in the federal building to do a
little work before dinner when he re-
ceived a complaint about Marshall.
This complaint was to the effect
that one of the biggest, boldest and
most successful coups of its kind ever
perpetrated in Chicago and perhaps in
the United States has come to light
with the disappearance Of Charles E.
Marshall, jewelry, jobber."
Thousands Of Victims.

time" the complaint went on, the

Tins have been heard from the total

FINANCIAL FURRY VANIShfS
BANKING CIRCLES IN NEW YORK
ARE GRATIFIED-sToP GOLD
IMPORTS.

Washington, Nov. 20.-The financial
relief measures launched by the treas
ury department have been freely CON-
mended in kilograms received from all
parts of the country. All are unani-
NOUS in their approval of the course
adopted in issuing the Panama bonds
and the certificates of indebtedness.
Callers at the White House yester-
day were numerous and each added
an opinion on the optimistic side of
the situation.
Stops Run on Bank.
The president was informed from
Buffalo that his letter expressing con-
fidence in the fiscal soundness of the,
country had been printed in several
languages in Buffalo and distributed
among depositors who were making a
run on a bank there, with the effect
of checking the run. Before the bust
ness day of the treasury had ended
many applications arrived for the e
certificates of Indebtedness. The fiscal
uses to which these certificates may
be put will make the demand for them
very general, according to the opinion
of experts in the department.
Financial Furry Over.
The president was, heartily second
ed by every comment yesterday in his
statement Of the %soundness of the
country's finances and that the vanish
ing point Of the financial furry has ar
rived. As indicative of the state Of
mind in congress it may be stated that
in a gathering of six Republican e n
ators, Messrs. Foraker, Lodge, War
rem, Scott, Buckley and Warner, all
of them expressed the decided opinion
that some financial legislation is nec-
essary and will be enacted during the
approaching session of congress.
Qualification in New York.
New York, Nov. 20. Qualification
was the prevailing tone in banking
circles yesterday as the result of the
government plan of relief to the mar
ket by the issue of $50, 600, 900 in Pan
m bonds and 500, 00O, 900 in one
year treasury certificates.
The general opinion in banking cir
cles was that both measures would
tend to draw idle money from private
boards and thereby to break the pre-
MUM on currency and restore normal
conditions in the money market.
So strong was this feeling that It
was understood that gold engage.
ments would practically cease. Inter-
national bankers declared that the
gold already engaged is as much as
New York can justly take from Eu-
rope under the strained conditions
which prevail there, and that to take
more will only compel it's return at a
later date. The amount already taken
or engaged, which approaches $7O,-
600, 900, is much more than the most
sanguine predicted at the beginning
of the movement about three weeks.
