PASTOR AND DEAcoNEss QUIT
Visit Of Presiding Elder to Rooms Of
Head of Methodist Institution

ST. Joseph, Mo-, May 8.-Rev. E. B.
Lyle, presiding elder of the Maryville
district of the Methodist Episcopal
church. has resigned his office and
the ministry on account of develop
ments following a visit to the deacon
ess home in st. Joseph short time
ago. Mrs. Margaret Shelton superin-
tendent Of the deaconess home, also
has resigned and has returned to her
home In Maryville.
Lyle came to ST. Joseph April S6
and called upon Mrs. Shelton at the
home, an institution maintained for
nurses employed In Ellsworth hospi-
tai which is managed by the Meth
odist church. He was entertained IN
Mrs. Shelton's rooms, 1t Is said and
nurses who We're in the home were in-
dignant. They complained to Rev. j.
w. Bently. superintendent of the hos
pltal, and said Lyle had been received
by Mrs. Shelton many times before IN
her rooms. 1t was asserted that when
Lyle called upon Mrs. SheltorHsNH
door of her room was kept closed$a and
that the light was turned out.
The superintendent was not inclined
to take the matter seriously The
young women were not satisfied, and
four ministers Of the church were
summoned. They. too, laughed at the
dSSeItloHS, Out when lIley ACalleQ dt
the apartments of Mrs. Shelton they
Were not admitted as quickly as the
ministers thought they should have
been.
Rev. Mr.. Lytle said he was there on
a personal and business call and that
he was waiting for his train. The min
listers told him his train had left some
time previously. Elder Lytle protested
that light had been burning brightly
in the room. 1t was decided to lay the
matter before a committee of minis
tiers for inquiry, and several Of the
pastors of the Maryville district were
asked to visit ST. Joseph and join in
the investigation. Elder Lytle also
was asked to attend, but, instead, he
sent his resignation and surrendered
his ministerial rights.
Rev. Mr.. Lytle Is past so years OF
age and half his life had been spent in
the ministry. He had long been a
member of tho Missouri conference ana
held important pulpits. Mr. Lytle has
a family at Maryville, where he served
as pastor for five years preceding his
appointment as presiding elder
Through his influence Mrs. Shelton
was appointed to the position at ST

Looking for Vessels in Distress.

The revenue cutter Apache. Capt. Wild,
which was lying at Baltimore for few
days, yesterday resumed her cruising on
Chesapeake bay. under orders from the
President. The mild winter so far has
not given the revenue service ships cruis-
ing up and down the coast much work
to do. and only once since the vessels
started December l has the Apache
found her services needed. January, Feb
ruary and March are the worst months
in the year for storms and rough weather
generally, and it is probable that the
cutters will find plenty of work to do be-
fore the winter cruising period is over
April 1. From Eastport, Me-. to Savan-
nah a Gordon of revenue cutter steamers
are constantly patrolling the coast on the
lookout for vessels in distress from storm
or other cause, and the cruising orders
directs the captains of the revenue serv-
ice ships tC render such distressed vessels
all aid that they can. Chesapeake bay
is the only tributary of the Atlantic that
has cutter assigned to cruising on it
exclusively.

BENEFIT OF ATHLETICS.
DR.. Sargent Discusses the Needs of

NEW YORK. December 2S--Discussing
the Physical Needs of Scholars. Ath-
letes and the Average Man" before the
Society of College Gymnasium Directors,
at Columbia University yesterday, Dr.
Dudley A. Sargent advanced the propo-
sit!or that scholarship men should if
necessary. be required to take physical
training as part OF the curriculum.
DR.. Sargent. who is a director of the
department OF physical training at Har-
ward. dwelt at length on the condition
OF scholarship men as compared with
the college athletes. the comparison being
much TO the disadvantage OF the ''grinds. "
In the last twenty-five years. he pointed
out physical improvement has been made
by all classes OF college men. except those
holding scholarships.
The speaker offered statistics of Har-
wards athletes and scholarship men as
evidence of the inferior physical develop
ment OF the latter class,

ars in our cole ges," said DR.. Sargent.

grave consideration. The scholarship
man OF today may be said to represent
the student type as IL existed some forty
o. fifty years ago. The average student
of 1SJO-60 was characterized by a droop-

THERE'LL BE NO WAR
HOSTILE BALL CLUB WILL NOT
BE PUT IN CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, December 2S.-The annual
meeting of the American Base Ball Asso-
citation will be held in Chicago today and
tomorrow. The proposed transfer of one
Of the clubs of the circuit to Chicago
will be the principal business to come
before the magnates, according to cur
rent gossip here. The club owners are
said to be primed for a thorough discus
sion of the invasion proposition. and 1t
is predicted that the sessions will be live
ly ones. President OBrien issued a call
for the meeting to convene this afternoon,
but is was unoff1cially given out that the
real deliberations OF the body will not
take place until tomorrow. Informal
gatherings and conferences are expected
to be the order for today.
President O'Brien was the first repre-
sentative from out of town to arrive.
He was asked for the latest war news, "
but declared that there is no war"
There has been plenty of talk of inva-
sion and war;" he continued but l ex-
pect that the war cloud will pass over
without any great damage being done.
I have no doubt the subject of the pro-
posed invasion will come up and there
will doubtless be some war discussion.
but that will see its finish, for this year
at least. We would like to establish a
club in Chicago, but war is out Of the
question If can read the temper Of the
majority OF the ciup owners IN the
league"
Callahan and Cantillon, Chicago repre-
sentatives of the war faction, admitted
that the chances of a club being estab-
lished in Chicago this year were very
slight.

CHINESE AND RUSSIAN DUTIES.
An Arrangement to Last One Year
Concluded by Commission.

A joint commission, Russian and Chi
nese, met at Hardin some months ago to
discuss the technical questions relating
to the establishment of Chinese customs
in northern Manchuria.
The Chinese commended that while it is
true that Russian imports passing out of
the railway zones, which are areas pro-
vided for at the stations along the
railway line, pay an additional one-third
duty, they must furthermore pay on en-
tering Chinese territory a full half duty
as transit dues.
A settlement Of the whole question has
finally been reached, after reference to
Picking, between the Russian minister and
the Chinese foreign office, in accordance
with which goods upon entering the rail-
way zone will pay two-thirds ot.the regu-
lar import duty; If transported from this
zone and the fixed areas into Manchuria
they will pay an additional one-thlrd of
the import duty, and if transported thence
into China proper they will be subject to
a surtax equal to one-half of the full
duty. This arrangement Is to be in force
for one year. A joint commission is at
present arranging the details at Hardin,
and it Is expected that customs collections
will begin to be made very soon. A COM
missioner Of the imperial maritime GUS
toms has already been ordered north to
inaugurate the service.

HOTELS. RESTAURANTS G. CAFES
FOR PROTECTION OF WHALES.
Efforts to Be Made to Stop Slaughter
of Deep-Sea Animals.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, December Is
Congress is to be asked to establish game
laws for the protection of whales and
green turtles. At the annual meeting
Of the Vertebrate Psychologists of
America, at Yale University, a resolu-
ton was passed asking Congress to pre-
vent the slaughter Of these deep-sea
animals during the breeding season.
Prof. G. r. Wieland of Yale Scientific
School, who has been studying the sub
ject for ten years, stated in an address
that 100000 whales had been killed in
the last 100 years and that the financial
profit from killing had amounted to
S272. 100000.
He said that whales are almost gone
and. unless they are to disappear alto
gether. some means must be found to
protect them. Prof. Wieland also pointed
out that the green turtles are rapidly
disappearing and are doomed to complete
destruction unless preserved.

FILE CHARGES" SAYS HALP|N
READY FOR AN INVESTIGA
TON OF HIS CONDUCT.
Doesn't Want to Fight the Matter
Out in the Newspapers-The
Accusations Made

NEW YORK, December 2S.-M. P. Hal
pin; who managed the successful team
Of athletes to the Olympic games at Ath-
ems last year, has been the subject of a
lot of criticism lately.
Halpin has issued a statement in which
he says:
Although 1t has been my most earnest
desire not to answer the venomous at
tacks made upon me by certain members
of the late American Olympic team which
went to Athens in 1906. the unfairness
Of my enemies and requests of friends
force me to defend myself, but not to the
end I intended taking, because those in
authority ask me not to thrash the mat
ter out in the papers. but wait until spe-
CHIC charges are made, after which judi
cation will be made by the committee.
"One of my chief reasons for not hav-
Ing taken this action heretofore was that
had no desire to cast discredit upon any
other team which might journey abroad
on similar competitive mission.
IF any one has protest or complaint
to make with respect to my management
of the team which went to Athens,
think it should be properly addressed to
the Olympic committee.
I'm all likelihood the many rabid state
ments made concerning my treatment of
certain men on that trip emanate from
the Irish-American Athletic Club, which
has not had kindly feeling for me
since I was factor in the protesting of
Martin ]. Sheridan Of that club for
professionalism several years ago. I am
free to confess that I think that the bit
terness then engendered has never died
out.
II am freeto think that when this mat
ter Is thrashed out before the Olympic
committee not alone will I be able
to make good for my seeming harsh

Charges Against Halpin.

Charges Against Halpin.
Following are specimens of the charges
made against Halpin:
Harvey COIN says: "Halpin caused the
American team to lose some points. Had
he been a proper manager I think Billy
Frank would have finished second, II not
first, instead Of third in the Marathon
race. Before the race Halpin was asked to
provide Frank with a bag in which he
could carry supplies which he might need
while on the run. A small bag was select
ed-one which could be strapped around
his neck and carried without impeding his
speed. Halpin refused to buy this and
Frank was compelled to carry his supplies
in a handkerchief strapped over his Shout
der.
Before a quarter of the journey was
completed the bottles containing water
and stimulants jostled against each other
in the handkerchief and were broken. For
the remainder of that grind Frank was
compelled to continue without supplies he
needed.
When he needed water he was COM
PEELED to stop and beg the Greek SOL
diers stationed along the route for a
drink. Sometimes he got 1t and more
times he was refused. All these stops cost
him many minutes and in my opinion pre-
vented him from making a better show
ing. Halpin was also asked to have some
of the boys stationed at various points
along the route. Ha1pin refused
Billy Franz says: Il was compelled tc
lose a lot of time during the race be-
cause 1 had no supplies. Had Halpin pur-
chased a bag for me I would not have
been compelled to stop and might have
finished in better position
Robert G. Leavitt of Boston says Halpir
quartered the athletes in a building In
Athens that was so damp that many OF
the athletes contracted sore threats.
w. D. Eaton of Boston says the men
were not properly housed and were badly
fed. The house in which they were quar-
tered was extremely damp and the food
unwholesome.
D. A. Sullivan Of Anaconda says: Had
1t not been for Halpins interference !
might have won my wrestling bout He
discouraged me and prevented me from
training for the bout"
Lawson Robertson says Manager Hal
pin discouraged the entire team from the
minute they sailed rom New York until
the athletes returned.
