TRAIN IS WRECKED
 NEAR MONTGOMERY

Montgomery, May 25.-Passenger train No. 33 of the Western Railway of Alabama, which left Atlanta this afternoon for Montgomery, was I wreck ed just as it was entering the local yards late today and the negro porter, Jim Turner, was instantly killed. The passengers were consider ably shaken up but none was injured.
 The train, which is due here at o'clock, was coming in on time and running about 15 miles an hour. The engine passed over a yard switch and the vibration of its passage shook the frog open and the baggage car caught the side track rails and broke loose and continued down the siding until it jumped the track and struck tele- graph pole full abreast The tele- graph pole was broken off at the ground and again broken in two, something over half of it's length.
 The baggage and express cars that struck the pole was thrown from the track and completely wrecked. Fortu- nately, however. the passenger cars behind it held their upright position anr suffered no damage except the few bruises occasioned by Jumping the track and blowing through the ground for 10 or 15 feet.

welcome changes in the treaty as one of the most efficacious methods to bring about the decomposition of the empire, yet an overwhelming majority of Ger mans are prepared to defend the terms of the Frankfort treaty, aud in a similar manner they are ready to defend the empire.
 T am unable to give Emperor Williams views on this subject, but I believe my self in position to state that his majesty is in perfect accord with the majority of his subjects in maintaining the in tegrity of his grandfather's work. It is for the benefit of both nations that a misunderstanding on this subject should be avoided. I think the peace of the present day has a splendid chance of continuing. The inner workings and so- cial politics not only of Europe. but If the civilized world are so complicated and so many influences and counter in- 1uences would be set at work in the event of war that nobody can foresee the developments which European war would have in Europe and elsewhere. It is inn possible to calculate these possible de- velopments because so much is unknown. such as famine, revolution and she temptations to those who look upon the conflict from the outside. This reality is known to the governments and it is beginning to be recognized by the peo- nla ''

THUGS TRY TO HOLD
 UP MESSENGERS

New York, May 25.-In broad daylight tions of the city three thugs late this aft ernon made an attempt to hold up and rob a trio of bank messengers as they were carrying s43O00 in cash from one of the branch banks to it's main building. Black pepper was showered upon the mes sengers, one of them was hit with black sck and another slashed with a knife in the desperate effort of their assailants to seize the money and escape with it before the arrival of assistance.
 That they failed to get clear with the valises filled with coin and bills which the bank employees were carrying was due to the stubbornness with which the mes sengers resisted the attack and to the bravery of young Polish waitress in a nearby resta aurant, who so impeded and delayed the leader of the attacking trio that he fell an easy victim to two police men who came running to the rescue. The other two escaped.
 The messengers were employed by the Jefferson bank and were on their way from the branch at Clinton and Houston streets to the main bank on Canal street.
 The man arrested gave his name as Casino Riccobono. The police tonight ar rested Riccobonos father, Giovanni Ric- cobono, and his two brothers, Salvatori and Dameano Riccobono, who are held as suspects for further examination tomor- row

BITTER FEELING IS DYING

Berlin, May 25.-Baron won Holstern, for many years director of the division of higher politics of the foreign office and who since his retirement in 1906 has con- tinued to exercise a certain influence oa the foreign policy of Germany, discusses Franco-German relations in a remarkable interview made public today. This inter view was probably issued with the ap- proval of the foreign office inasmuch as it appears in the Nord Deutscher zeitung.
 Referring to the efforts of private per sons to bring about F'ranco-German ur- derstanding the Baron says:
 T consider that the time will come when the hatred of the two nations will diminish, because it causes useless ex- penditures l should regard such efforts as entirely inoffensve if it were not for the occasional cropping out in the French press of tendency to interpret them as the first symptoms of a disposition of the mind which eventually will lead to revision of the treaty of Frankfort.
 This current of thought could only bring disillusionment and a consequent recrudescence of bitterness. In a measure that Germany as a nation would reject with the utmost energy the idea of such a revision. It would be effectation to dismiss the possibility of existence of d certain class in Germany which would

METHOD|STS tNDORSE LOCAL
 OPTION AND TEMPERANCE MOVES

Baltimore May 25.-The general con- ference of the Methodist Episcopal church at a prolonged session today put itself on record as indorsing unqualifiedly the work of the anti-saloon leagues, also favoring local option. Both of these positions are new with the church as up to this time no special organization has had the spe- cific indorsement of the church.
 This result was attained only after one of the stormiest meetings yet held. It was contended by the minority adher- ents that 1t was wrong for the general conference to indorse any particular or ganizaton and also that it was distinct violation of the standard of the church to come out in favor of local option. The majority supporters maintained that the anti-saloon league was worthy of this recognition declaring that it is the organ ;zation that is doing the work for tenn perance at the present tme fusing as it does, all other societies and efforts into one When the final vote was taken but 19 of the entire body of upwards of 750 rested in favor of the minority report.
 The thirteenth ballot is reported to- night to have resulted in no decision.
 New episcopal residences are to be es- tablished if a recomm endation of the com mttee on the Episcopacy is adopted in PelSin, China, a city of Oklahoma, New Orleans, Omaha and Detroit, Mich, will be assigned to China and the next for eign bishop will be placed in France. The committee on revision has decided to recommend the elimination from the bap- tismal service of the declaration that all men are conceived and born in sin. The same committee will report adversely to the memorial stand that the word Cath ollie be omitted from the apostles creed when used by Methodists.
 A laymen's general association was formed tonight by the adoption of a constitution and John H. Patton of Chat tanooga Tenn, will in all probability be elected its president. Its purpose is to unite the laymen's associations of the different conferences.

GREATER UNITY AMONG CHURCHES PreSbyterians In Assembly Take Up Important 1ubjects FRATERNAL GREETING SENT Negro Preacher From Birmingham Makes Eloquent Address With
 Regard to Missionary Work
 Among the Negroes.
FRATERNAL GREE TING SENT

Kansas City, May 25.-Co-operation and closer relations leading ultimately to union with other churches of the Pres hyterian faith, the duty of the church to the negro and religious education, were the important subjects discussed by the general assembly of the Presbyterian church of the United States of America.
 Rev. Dr. William H. Roberts of Phila- delphia, in reading the report of the com mittee on church cooperation and union, submitted resolutions which were adopt ed. recommending the heartiest response to any movement inviting union with the reformed church in America, the Pres byterian church in the United States, the United Presbyterian and other churches of the faith.
 message of fraternal greetings was sent to the general synod of the re- formed church in the United States in with a view to further consideration on the subject of closer relations between the two denominations.
 The assembly adopted a resolution ap- proving the plan of the federal council of the churches of Christ in America, which is composed of B of the leading Protestant and evangelical churches.
 Four negroes were among the speakers, who supported the report of the commit tee on freedom. Rev E.. M Clark, negro of Birmingham. Ala, made an eloquent speech, the burden of which was that the same agencies should be at work in the interest of his race that are working for betterment to the white race.
 Dr. E P. Cowan secretary of the board of freedom, said that the church had been doing missionary work among the negroes of the south for over three years, and during that time illiteracy among them had been reduced fl per cent.
 The discussion developed the fact that the negroes lack ministerial teachership, and it is the purpose of the board to es- tablish local academies of primary grades and industrial branches
 A popular meeting in the interest of missions for freedmen was held in Con- vention hall tonight. Several thousand negroes were present.

prawbacks of Widowhood In India

From Harper's Weekly.
 The Indian papers record a curious case arising out of the terrible custom of infant marriage in that country. The daughter of Mir. Justice Mookerjee, Q learned Hindu, was married when she was under 10 years of age, and she became a widow two months after tho ceremony. Though he could not resist the earTy-marriage custom sanctioned by his creed, the judge stood out against that other custom which con- demns the child-widow to lifelong misery in her dead husbands family and he determined to have her married again. The husbands relatives claimed

 In Finland the women regard kiss on the lips as an insult, even when bestowed by their own husbands
 In Japan, again, kissing was not known until the influence of America was felt in the island.
 The Mohammedan pilgrims. when they reach Mecca, kiss the four black stones at the corners of the Kaaba- Kissing, too, Is part of the ceremony of the Rom an Catholic church.
 In remote ages the Christian bishops gave their hands to be kissed by the lesser clergy. Although this custom is discontinued, it is still habitual for sub jects to kiss their monarch's hands as a token of submission and loyalty. This is regarded as very high mark of honor in our own land and in most Eu- ropean countries.

CITY WATER PLANT
NETS NEARLY $4,000

The annual report of Water SUI
perintendent b. w. Vedder of the
city waterworks was filed with City
Clerk Conley today and will be pre-
sented to the city council at it's meet
ing tomorrow night.
This report shows that the city
water affairs are in excellent condi-
ton. During the fiscal year Just
ended the system not only paid all
expenses, but made a net earning of
S2,736.92, the best record in its his
tory. There was a total expenditure
from the water fund of S2.55O.49
to meet the expenses of the mountain
water election held last year and
other expenses incidental to the
mountain water proposition These
expenses cannot properly be called
expenses of the conduct of the water
system. Consequently had not this
S2.550.49 been taken from the wat
er fund the report would have shown
A NET EARNING ON THE YEAR
OF s5.2S7.51.
When 1t is considered that. until
about three years ago, the city wat
er works failed to meet its expenses.
this report for the fiscal year just
ended should prove immensely sat
