HERESY CHARGE
 IS SUSTAINED
Pastor of First Presbyterian Church at Texarkana Con-
 victed on Heresy Charge

Texarkana. July 15.-The trial of Rev. F. E. Maddox, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of this city. began at 8 o'clock last night at Hope and was concluded at 2 o'clock this morning.
 He was excluded from the Qua chita Presbytery by the vote of all members except one, it hav- ing been found that he holds to heretical teachings at variance with the doctrines of Prssbyter- ianism. No appeal from the de cision is expected at this time. Rev. J. c. Williams of De Queen acted as prosecutor.
 The congregation will hold . meeting tomorrow to decide whether to retain Rev. Maddox as pastor and leave the Presby- tery, or accept the decision and remove him from the pastorate.

ncV. Cs C/s M0OOOA ID WEI 0IAO favorably known in Little Rock. For a number of years he was associated with his brother, Prof. A. s. Maddox. in the admins tration of the Maddox Seminary. He has been pastor of the First Presbyterian Church at Texarka- na for several years. and is ad- mitted by all to be a strong and capable man.
 Great interest is felt here in the case, and among Presbyter- ians no surprise is expressed that he should have been convict ed of heresy as his views are in many respects antagonistic to Presbyterian doctrine.
 One prominent member of the church said today: If the con- gregation withdraws. where will it go? All of the twelve or more Presbyterian bodies stand as a unit on the question of doctrinal standards. and MT. Maddox's teachings are opposed to all of them. And he also differs from the Methodists, the Baptists and many others. so the only thing to be done is to estab- fish sn independent congrega- tion for the exploitation of MT. Maddox's peculiar teachings"
 Rev. Maddox holds that saliva tion is an evolution from within and not an importation from without, that it is . development of a divinelv implanted gift and not a new gift divinely implanted He holds that men are saved from sin by grace as . child is saved from ignorance by education. As to the Scripturet, he holds that they are inspired. but are not in- errant. The authors of them were neither reminiscent nor infaliible and there is no proof that they were made 90 by inspiration. The thought of the Bible came from God, but men expressed it e they understood it and in language most intelligible to them and their contemporaries. Scientific and historical errors and defective conception of morality are due to the defective knowledge of the writers and may be accounted by the date when the book was writ ten and the elementary training oJ the author.
 This trial of Rev. Maddox makes the fourth case in which some of the younger men of his church have had trouble. They have been dealt with either by the local congregation or higher church courts. and two or three of them had to leave the denomi- nation.
 He is a very able and scholarly man. aged about 70 years, who

AUNT LAURIE'S QUESTION BOX

All young people are welcomed here with
their doubts and difficulties.
Aunt Laurie is glad to answer all the ques-
ticns her nieces and nephews ask her. II
you want to know how to give a children's s
Fay, how to for your pet, what to do at
club meeting. how to make postage stamp
collection, or any of the many things about
which children need advice, write to Aunt
Laurie.
Dear Aunt Laurie-Our Young Peo-
pies society is going to give an en-
tertainment to raise money for the
Sunday school Christmas tree for the
children of our mission. Can you sug-
gest some way in which we could earn
lot of money and something which
people would like to go and see?
Everything we can think of is too we'll
known to interest people much.
Please do not sign my name. just use
my initials. !. b. N.
1t Is pretty hard to get something
really new for such an entertainment.
However, how would 1t do to have an
exhibition of living picture postcards.
Or you might have a collection which
would tell some story.
Here is suggestion which you
might use.

structed on frame. covered with mus

very valuable, of solid gold, set with
large pearls and jade. After the dis
tribution of the gifts the empress came
down from the throne and went along
the line, herself shaking hands with the
ladies and bowling to the men. Then
turning she left the room, while every
one stood still. After she was gone
the line broke up and we all left the
room to wander over the grounds at
leisure. But being very tired and hav-
ing such a disagreeable trip before us
we all returned soon to the hotel, which
was a welcome sight after our dusty
ride in those strange vehicles.

Must Change Our Shoes
Arriving at the palace we saw a
large one-story building of stone, very
old in appearance and seeming to be
very long. We were received by party
of men and women. The men taking
the men of our party and the women
taking the women, we were escorted to
our dressing rooms and there made to
change our shoes and wash the dust OF
travel from our faces. When we were
all ready we were shown out of door
at the other end of our dressing room
and found ourselves in what appeared
to be a general assembly court. There
we found the women waiting for us.
Then an interpreter told us to form In
line according to rank, which we did
with much discussion and laughter.
When at last we had succeeded in set
tling our rank and were silent once
more the interpreter told US we were
all in front of the empress. He then
asked us to rehearse, which we did;
and when at last he thought we knew
our steps well enough he motioned to
the man at the big door at the side to
open 1t, and then our procession started
on its way across the large reception
hall, which seemed endless. Before We
had all gotten in the three steps and
then bow had fairly become mechani-
cal motion.
Throne In Dim Light
At the far end of the hall was q
large throne, but nothing could be seen
distinctly because that end of the room
was very dark while our end was very
light / suppose so that the dowager
could see us plainly without us seeing
her. But In spite of the darkness we
could see her seated on the throne-a
little old woman with very shrewd
face She was very little and wrinkled,
and her small hands had enormous long
nails encased in jeweled finger guards.
She was surrounded by people. evil
IDENTIFY maids in waiting. interpreters
and mandarins. Altogether there must
have been 100 people around her. They
were all dressed in beautifully em-
broidered satin coats, highly decorated
shoes and jeweled headgear.
The walls of the hall were hung with
heavy silk and satin embroideries and
the floor was tiled with the figure of
the dragon all over the room. The CELL
ing was made OF large oak timbers
decorated with carvings and gilt paint.
Altogether the scene was one OF such
splendor as have never known be-
fore.
Empress Makes Gifts
After our line had reached the throne
and everyone was still, the empress
arose and stretching out her jeweled
hand said something to us. This being
interpreted was a speech of welcome to
her country, and giving us permission
to look over the palace grounds and
make use of all her servants.
Then, sitting down. waved her hard

~ Clerk First.

The county CLERKS Office this morn
ing was the scene of lively slSirmish
in which dozen republican Office
seekers battled with each other for
the first place in line before the coun-
|ty clerks window. The primary law
went into effect, and long before the
clerks Office opened at o'clock the
politicians were on hand anxious to
be the first to file their petitions for
nomination. The candidates were
seated about the door, and when the
janitor threw open the doors at s
O'Clock, there was a grand rush, rival
| ing the most lively football rush ever
seen at Island City park. John Rose,
the big Moline undertaken who wants
to be nominated for coroner, having
the advantage in weight, landed ahead
of the other nine, and with States
Attorney J. K. Scott, who seeks re-
nomination, hanging tight to his coat
| tails, the Moline man shot through
| the door and landed squarely in front
| of the clerks window. His petition
was the first to be filed, and Mr..
SCOTS was second, giving them first
place on the ballot in the list of can
didates for their respective offices. AS
there are five candidates for the nom
ination for coroner, and there are to
be four for states attorney, the first
place ON the ballot is considered an
advantage, and hence the skirmish this
morning. Mr.. SCOTS petition has in
the neighborhood of 500 signatures,
number over 10 times as large as was
required.
The Petitions Filed.
So intense was the excitement, and
so keen the desire to secure first
place on the primary ballot, that some
of those in the line this morning.
foiled in their effort to reach the
clerks window, threw their petitions
over the high railing, in the hope that
they might be recorded ahead of the
others.
The petitions filed at the opening
Iof the Office were those of George w.
Gamble for circuit clerk; ]. K Scott
and L. M. Magill, for states attor-
lney; John F. Rose, c. w. Heck,
George F. McNabney, Or. C. T. Foster
and DR.. j. E. Assay, for coroner; Wal
lace Treichler, for county surveyor,
and J. w. Simonson, for member of
the republican senatorial committee
H. M. Schriver and George c. Wen
ger, who are both to be candidates
for the nomination for states attor-
ney, were in the rush, but did not file
their petitions when they found that
they were unable to secure the first
place on the ticket. The petitions of
both We're expected to be filed later
in the day.
/ July is the last day for filing the
petitions for place ON the ballot at
the primary Aug s. and it is expected
that large number of additional pc
titions will be filed before the day
passes.

DEVELOPMENTS
Significance Of the Committee
Meeting at oauawka
Friday.
ONE or TWO CANDIDATES.
Those in Field From Rock island
County and Merits At
titude.

AS stated in last evenings Argus, a
meeting of the democratic senatorial
committee of the Thirty-third district
has been called TO be held in Oquawka
at 10 O'Clock Friday morning to deter
mine the number of candidates that
will be nominated by the democrats at
the August primaries. Under the prac-
tices of years standing the democrats
in the making of selections for minor
ity representatives have confined the
choice to one nominee, and from the
best that can be learned this seems to
he the preference this year both of the
rank and file of the party and of the
candidates.
Five In Field.
There are FIVE known candidates in
the field for the nomination, H. l.
Wheelan and C. C. Wilson of Rock Is
land, w. R. Moore and S. D. Hicks of
Moline and the present representative.
Hon. Everette L. Werts of Oquawka
1t was announced that Dr. A. B. john
son of East Moline would also enter
the field. but this is denied.
Werts' Breach of Faith.
While Mr.. Werts has avoided Rock
Island since the preliminary campaign
came on and has sent no direct word
here of his candidacy, it has been
known for some time that he intended
to make an attempt to gain the nomin-
alton to succeed himself, and this
notwithstanding the solemn pledge
made by him and by his friends in his
circums 'ances would he be candi-
date for second term if nominated
then. He further stated, at that time,
If he was elected he would concede
the nomination this year to Rock Is
land and that both he and his friends
in Mercer and Henderson counties
would see to it that the nomination
cane to Rock Island. OF all these
promises leading Mercer county dem
ocrats are aware as some of them
were made in the Argus Office in the
presence of men who were then Mr.
Werts' supporters in Mercer county
but whom it is understood now repu-
date his present attitude as polit.
!. ical breach of trust
Danger in Many Candidates.
In view of Mr.. Werts' candidacy, it
is somewhat TO be regretted that sc
many candidates have developed in
Rock Island county, notwithstanding
that the Office is one for which any
good democrat may well aspire. The
danger in so many, however, lies In
the fact that the woe may be SO spill
up and divided that Mr. Werts may
again slip in. II would tend to bring
the nomination to this county. which
has not had it since the present dis
trict has been in force, if it were pos
sibie for the four candidates from this
county to get together and centralize
