"caused a Stir" Rev. A. T. Scott
Editor THE EVENING JOURNAL
was surprised when read In the
issue Of your paper for the 2ist ult. that
I brought up the question as 20 whether
the ministers are not getting away from
the Gospel by preaching against liquor
and like evils" At first I thought I would
not notice the mistake made by your
reporter but supposing that those who
have known me during my ministry In
this city for forty-one years would under
stand what I did say 7 did not reply.
But so many have come to me and ex-
pressed their surprise that I was not in
favor OF this effort 20 do away with the
saloon that I deem II but just to myself
TO ask space I'm your paper for this reply.
How any thoughtful person can fail TO
see that the saloon is am unmixed evil and
a menace TO society Is beyond my compre-
hensiOn
There IS only one side 10 the question
before us-the saloon must go I said so IN
the meeting I could not be true preach
or OF the Gospel Of Christ II did not
spreach against all such evils"
What I did say. also. was that feared
that we were in danger Of neglecting the
regular services Of tho church and not
making enough efforts TO get men con-
verted. Respsctfu'h,

ments OF former United States sena-
tor Burton that a pardon had been
offered to Mr.. Burton few days af.
ter he was placed in jail at Ironton,
Mo-, to serve his six months term In

Mr.. Gordon declares that few days
after Mr.. Burton's imprisonment {,
number of letters were received at
the Department of Justice asking for
a pardon for the former Senator, and.
as there was nothing to indicate that
these letters had been written with
Mr.. Burton's knowledge, Mr.. Gordon
wrote to Mr.. Burton and called his at.
tention TO the letters and suggested
that II Mr.. Burton SO desired the com.
munications would be forwarded to
the President. No answer, however,
was received from Mr.. Burton.

FORKUM IS OUT
LEAVES APRIL FIRST TO ACCEPT
POSITION az mekEEsPoRT
STEEL MILL.

MoRGANTowN. March &c Carl s.
fForkum Who has been the eiacient
coach Of W. ". u. In footbail ever
since he graduated from state college.
has accepted a position as assistant
superintendent Of blast furnaces In
the United States Steel company's
plant at McKeesport and win take
charge Of his new work April LIST. Mr..
Forkuu has been expecting an ap.-
pointment TO this place for some time
and at the expiration Of his contract
with the athletic association, he APP
prtsea the athletic committee Of the
university Of his plans. The commit.
tee re-employed Mr.. Forkum with the
understanding that he was to be re.
leased from his work as coach, should.
the position with the steel company
become available before the end Of
the season.
e. AZ meeting OF The committee yes
terday morning resolution was
adopted accepting Mr.. Forkum's res
ignation and expressing regret. that
the university athletic interests are
to be deprived OF the benefit OF his
further services as coach. The de-
parture OF the popular trainer will be
a source OF sincere regret on the part
OF faculty and students alike.
The committee at IFS meeting this
morning reconsidered its action on
the baseball schedule to the extent
Of approving the two games with the
Pittsburg collegians for June 1ota
and 11,h. The principal objection
TO these games originally was that
they are scheduled for examination
week; but as the exams do not be-
gin till Wednesday, June 18th, and rs
the management was for several rea-
sons. exceedingly anxious to play
these games, the committee agreed
70 authorize the contract
The matter of extending the cour-
tesy of the base bali field to the
Wheeling stogies for TWO weeks early
In April was before the committee for
discussion. It appeared to be the
sense Of the committee that any use
of the field for baseball practice dur
ing the morning RECREATION hours
would be out of the question, owing
to the very serious interruptions il
would cause to class work In the ai-
joining buildings During the aft
ernoon hours the field is SO much oc-
cupied with the practice of the can
didates for the varsity and the drill
work of the cadet corps that 1t IS
hard t., see where the stogies could
get in their four hours a day prac.
tice. The field would be available
before $3.50 in the morning and after
$3.50 In the evening. but IT. is doubt
full whether this time OF day would
suit the men from Wheeling. The
field is hardly large enough to ac-
commodate more than one squad at
a time for training purposes.
The question Of the use of the
grounds will be one for the presi.
dent of the university and the super.
intendent of grounds and buildings
10 decide, and II they consent to such
use it will doubtless be under such
conditions as will not interfere with
the regular university work, scholas-
tic and athletic.
