fBv Telegraph to The Tribune. ]


Chicago, Aug 13-Nnrnan E Mack chairman of
the Democratic National Committee, denounced to-
day as a malicious lie a report circulated by the
Independence party that $4,000 had been con-
tributed from some mysterious source to the Demo
cratic National Committee. The story began with
the statement that Mr.. Mack had admitted there
was $4,000 in the treasury, but said 'it left
over by the management of the 1904 campaign. =.
Mr. Mack's answer follows:
The statement that admitted there was 10000
in the treasury is lie There is not that sum- and
/ never made such admission. Not one penny
has been received by by any officer of the
committee from Mr.. Taggart or any other member
of the committee that conducted the campaign of
1904. Not penny left over from that cam
paign. Every dollar now in the treasury has been

The entire day yesterday was de-
voted by the Baptist convention to the
discussion of different phases of the
denominations Sunday school work,
The convention proper did not open
until this morning but the large atten-
dance of messengers at yesterday S
sessions is evidence of the interest
which New Mexico Baptits have in
the matter of teaching the Scriptures.
The afternoon session yesterday
was opened promptly at two O'Clock
with a Bible reading on THE Value
of Bible Study by Rev. o. N. Nc
Bride of Silver City. A half hour was

in many ways suggestive and help
full. The afternoon program was con-
ion of a paper read by Rev. j. l.. Ru-
pard in which was proposed a stand
ard for all the Sunday schools of the
denomination in New Mexico. Here
after all schools will be rated by this
standard.
Rev. Rupard opened the evening
session with a thirty minutes praise
service in which a large number par
ticipated, giving reasons for praising
God for the Sunday school. The main
feature for that hour was an address
by Rev. E. P. AIldredge, of Portales
He spoke to the subject: "Tne Teach
ing Idea-Its Origin, History, Place
and Power" His words showed care
full preparation and scholarship, and
his delivery, though unpretentious
was that of an orator.
Following a devotional service led
by Rev. M. Watkins, of Lordsburg
the convention was called to order
this morning at ten o'clock by Presi
dent B. T. Link, of Silver City. Since
yesterday the number of=Messengers
has increased to sixty Or more, and
others are still expected. All have
come in very hopeful state of mind
