Sratisucs of the Indiana cdr
Iy Meeting Show There Has
Been a Decrease in Men,
bership the Past Year.
BIRTH RATE HAS NOT
BEEN WHAT 1T SHOULD.
1reasurer's Report Is Submit
ted in Printed FOrm---Judge
Artman ReneWs His Attack
On Supreme Court.

The golden west with all its allur-
ing charms, is as attractive to the
Friends as to the members of any 9TH
er religious denomination and the re-
moval of Friends from the Indiana
body to the West was responsible for
a loss of seventy-five members in the
Indiana yearly meeting during the
past year. The birth rate in the meet
ing has decreased owing to the fact
that many of the younger people have
taken up their residences with the
other yearly meetings in the western
country. The question elected much
comment at the Indiana yearly meet
ing of Friends, which is now on at
the East Main Street friends meeting
house. The Friends church today has
2O.2O8 members within the confines
of the Indiana district. The statistical
report also showed that there are 211
recorded ministers now serving the
Friends church in this district. The

An Explosion.
CRUDE OIL is THE CAUSE.

New York, Sept. 27.-Three men
were killed and three injured, one prob
ably fatally, windows in houses and
trolley cars were shattered and resi-
dents were panic stricken by explo-
sion of $1,000 gallons of crude oil at
Unionport this morning. The dead are
James Cooper, Richard Smith and John
Riley. The men killed and injured

son of Portland, Greg, said that In
1858 when he first attended the In
diana yearly meeting there were 300
in it, who were users of tobacco and
large number habitual drinkers of
intoxicants These conditions have
passed away almost entirely. The
Ouakers he said take too pesSimis-
tic view as to the future of
the church, unlike any 9th
er religious denominations. This
he said was because the Friends
had maintained their original doc
trines and lived up to them. Those
who get discouraged should think
that the Friends more than any other
denomination holds to the original be
liefs and has not varied much from
these Because the Friends will not
forsake original principles the church
does not grow as others.
Prefer Old Customs.
The affairs of the church were dis
cussed by a large number. A return to
the old customs was advocated.
Peace among themselves, just as they
wanted peace among the nations of
the world, was one of the chief things
which the Quakers should adhere to.
The church's teachings of peace could
not be taught when Friends them
selves were constantly quarreling
within their own ranks. Francis W.
Thomas, one of the oldest Friends
ministers attending the meeting, ad-
vocated greater interest in church
work He said that the church was
the best on earth and said if this was
not true manufacturers and others
would not be so willing TO brand
their goods after the QuakerS' name.
The name bespoke honesty. he said.
The Friends as a whole should pay
more attention TO family prayers and
worship. it was urged by some.
Friends should not worry about their
small body, but make it an efficient
one. The Quakers should not be
ashamed of their smallness in num-
bers. Bunji Kidi, the japanese, who
is attending the sessions, maintained
that the reason the Friends denomina-
ton does not grow more, is simply
because the Friends as a whole did
not say much of themselves The spir-
it reflected throughout the speeches

Association Goes on Record
As Favoring Bill Now
Before Congress.
NOT ALL ARE AGREED.
SOME OF THE DELEGATES At
TACK THE PLAN OF THE CON-
MISSION ON THE BASIS OF 1T
BEING FIATISM.

Atlantic City, n. J., Sept. 27.-The
report of the currency commission, ap-
pointed by the American Bankers as
sociation at ST. Louis last year, was
made to the convention of the Amer
lean Bankers association now in ses-
sion in this city. The report recon-
mends a measure introduced in the
last session of congress known as the
credit currency bill. The report was
adopted and the commission was con-
tinued and it's powers enlarged.
An attack upon the plan of the COM
mission was made by a number of
Western delegates. especially by A. ].
Frame of Michigan, who contended
that the primary cause OF money
shortage in the United States was due
to overspeculation and that the cred
it currency plan pointed backward to
the eighteenth century of fiatism. AS
an alternative he advocated a central
reserve fund. He was supported in
his views by a number of other men,
bers to all of whom Congressman
Charles N Fowler of New Jersey,
chairman of the house committee on
Banking and currency, replied in a
stirring speech. He declared that
this country is the only one without
some form of credit currency.
Fowler Makes Speech.
Congressman Fowler, in attacking
the stand of the opponents of the Gre
dit currency, said that there is not a
country on the face of the earth ex-
cept the United States which did have
a credit currency built on general
lines as that prepared by the commits
sion to meet the expansion and con-
traction of business. He declared that
the credit of foreign countries had
not been affected by the addition OF
millions of dollars to their circulation
under a currency plan such as propos-
ed Laws requiring a high interest
and tending to force back the borrow
ed funds are necessary, he said, de-
spite the contention of the opponents
of the measure as the regulation OF
business is certain to bring back the
money to the banks.

EpistIes Were Read.
Episties from the New England.
New York and Baltimore yearly meet
ings were read and showed the
Friends work to be progressing rapid
" in all of these meetings. The New
England Yearly Nee ting. through its
epistle voiced the sentiment that the
rapid amassing of fortunes among
Quakers has lead to n desire for vulg-
ar display, which is far from the spir-
it which ruled the Quaker ancestors
The spirit of the Friend fathers should
more than ever before be emuiated.
The Baltimore meeting voiced the SEN
timent that there should be a change
in the epistles interchanged by the
various yearly meetings. Those now
sent do not meet the up-to-date re-
uuirements. The Baltimore and New
York yearly meetings both expressed
an interest in the future welfare OF
Earlham college.

duced by Timothy Nicholson with the
remark that it is probably the most
important thing to come before the
sessions. This however was not dis

Tense
This morning at the opening OF the
trial in the city court Judge Converse
requested Attorney Johnson to move
his chair so that he would not sit so
close to the jury. In a huff, Mr.. john
son arose to his feet and demanded in
an angry manner why the court had
given this order. He insisted that the
court, in the presence of the jury, give
a satisfactory explanation. Mr.. John
son said that such an order reflected on
his honesty and he asked If Attorney
Robbins had not induced the court to
issue the order.
Mr.. Robbins took the floor and stat
ed that he had asked the court to order
Mr.. Johnson to sit further away from
the jury, because the jury, being in
such close proximity to Mr. Johnson.
could overhear him when he consulted
with Mr.. and Mrs. Evans. Mr.. John
son wanted to know why Mr.. Robbins
had not made this request of the court
in the presence of the jury. Both
Judge Converse and Mr. Robbins stated
that this request had been made in the
presence of the jury Thursday after
noon. Mr. Robbins stated that he told
the court he objected to having Mr..
Johnson sitting in the lap OF a juror"
Mr.. Study joined in the dispute and for
a few minutes it looked as If the con-
flagration would get beyond control.
Finally. by strenuous use of his gavel.

Mr. Kepler was first called to the
stand and he finished the testimony
began on Thursday. He testified the
same as in the first trial. John Wei
! Ter. Mr.. keplers partner in the real
estate business, testified that he over
heard Mr.. Kepler talking to Mrs. Evans
over the telephone and that he did not
ask her to quiet up that little matter"
meaning the alleged assault. as Mrs.
Evans testified he said over the phone.
Mr.. Karl Kepler testified the same as

paid particular attention to what his

practice of always keeping his ears
open when around telephone as he
had once secured a big beat" for the

porter on that paper. by accidentally
overhearing an important conversation
over the phone.
The prosecution questioned the truth
and veracity of Mr. Weller and the de-
fense introduced several character wit
nesses to prove that Mr. Weller is hon.
est. upright and man of good morals.

A Simple Solution.

A few days ago we commented in
these columns upon the attempts
which are being made by men of
science to mitigate or wholly abolish
the smoke nuisance which has become
such a serious matter in our great
cities and manufacturing centcrs.
These scientists. it will be recalled,
looked upon electricity as the agency
most likely to accomplish the end 81
much desired. Now Professor Brock
enridge of the University of Illinois
comes forward with the assertion that
the problem Is not at all difficult or
complicated. He says that the smoke
nuisance is a wholly unnecessary evil
and one that need be tolerated only
while people choose to endure it. His
remedy is such a very simple one that
it's very simplicity begets doubt until
we remember that the simplest things
are sometimes the longest overlooked.
His proposition is simply this. that
the boiler should be SO placed that the
flames from the coal do not touch it.
Different kinds Of coal have different
lengths of flame and the distance be-
tween the boiler and the crate must
vary to suit the kind of coal used. He
illustrates his theory, which he has
tested in practice, by the common can
die which burns with a clear flame
when left free. but place saucer over
it and plenty of black smoke will be at
once developed. Perhaps had he ac-
companied his statement with a COM
pick formula more people would have
faith in it. He claims to have made a
demonstration in heating plant at
the institution with which he is con-
nectcd and not only does he find that
soft coal as well as hard coal can he
used without any appreciate smoke
resulting. but he also finds that u
great saving in the amount of coal
used results from the application of
his theories. 1t is one of these things
which seem too good to be true. but
let us hope that he has found a cor
rect solution and that his theories
will be promptly put to a test in all
the places which now pour out clouds
of smoke from their tall chirnneys.
