Killed Later by AM
other Car

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 22.-To avoid

PASTORS NEAR BET MAKES
TROUBLE FOR CONGREGATION

TRENTON, N. J., Aug. 22.-What is
considered a near bet is agitating the
members of the Third Presbyterian
church here. The Rev. James Albert
Wesley, the pastor, relates that while
out west last May attending the gen.
eral assembly of his church, he made
the acquaintance of a western capital
list who was an enthusiastic Bryan
supporter. He vowed that Bryan would
win the nomination and the election.
and ended the talk with the pastor
by saying that If Bryan was not elect
ed he would forward a check for $1,000
for the organ fund of the church.
Mr.. Wesley told the circumstance at
a meeting of his official presbytery a
short time ago, and now the people
of the church are agitated by the de-
sire to see the organ fund swelled and
at the same time to keep politics out
of the church.
