of Marine.

ST. PETERSBURG, November CO.
Gen. Kryloff has been appointed 10
succeed Admiral Wirenius as president
Of the technical commission of the aG
miralty. department which corre-
spends to the American bureau of con-
struction. The commission has been
under heavy fire of late for tardiness
in the designing of warships and be-
cause it resorted to the plans of for
eign firms for battleships which it is
proposed to build.
The change Is result of the severe
criticism directed against the commits
sion and it is the first important step
in the reform of the ministry of marine
demanded by the duma as a condition
of passing adequate appropriations for
naval purposes.
Gen. Kryloff has high reputation as
a marine authority and technical writ
er He is regarded as one of the most
brilliant officer in the service, but. as
his title indicates, his labors have been
confined principally to bureau and san
duty with the admiralty.
Capt Beklinisshef. an expert in the
handling of submarines, has been
placed in charge of the department.: of
mines and submarine defense. 1T is
understood that other vacancies in the
admiralty resulting from the wholesale
retirement of the present chiefs of
bureaus also will be filled by younger
officers.

CLOSER CHURCH RELATIONS.
Methodist Federation for Social
Service Ends at st. Louis.

ST LOUIS. November 2O.-The Meth
odist Federation for Social Service closed
its first convention here last night. after
adopting resolutions expressing a desire
to promote cordial relations between the
Methodist Episcopal Church and the
Methodist Episcopal Church South.
One of the principal addresses yester-
day afternoon was made by Rev. Dr..
Frank Macon North of New York, who
spoke on 1.-The Socialized Church.
He said the church should do it's part
toward preventing The Greed of Land
lords" by insisting on sanitary reguIa-
tions in tenements. "Methodists" he
said, have been frightened by the specter
of humantarianism long enough. A
church that believes it has the simpfi-
city of the gospel cannot escape the fact
that the worlds greatest humanitarian
was Jesus Christ.
Rev. Dr. w. NJ. Balch of Dover, N. H.,
in referring to children who work in fac
tories said
1--WE will have to save these children
socially and industrially and do il soon.
or we will have no chance to save them

STATE RESTS IN GUINNESS CASE.
Lamphere May Take Stand to Con-
trovert Damaging Evidence.

LAPORTE, Ind, November 2O.-The
state rested today in the trial of Ray
Lamphere accused of the murder of Mrs.
Belle Guinness and her three children by
setting fire to her house This announce
ment was made when the defense finished
the cross-examination of Deputy Sheriff
Anstiss The deputy testified to admis-
siOns alleged to have been made by Lam
phere after being arrested.
The state lays great stress on two
points in the testimony of Anstiss: First,
the statement of Anstss that Lamphere
had admitted he would not deny having
seen Mrs Guinness kill Helgelein; the sec
ond. Anstiss' statement that Lamphere
had said he would plead guilty to arson
were it not for his mother.
The defense had decided that Lamphere
would not take the stand, but now Lam
phere's lawyers find that unless their
client Is placed on the stand the admis-
sions said to have been made by Lam
phere to Anstiss cannot be controversial

 q referred to the matter because it seemed to me that 1t was one of the great victories of his life that he sub sequently overcame the weakness The wonder of his life was that with all the dlscouragements that he encounter ed before the Civil war, including this. he became the nations chief Instru- ment in suppressing the rebellion"
