STATEMENT OF MISSIONARY WORK

New Orleans, October 13.-The American Missionary society today presented its an- nual statement of work accomplished up to October 1, 190S before the International Missionary convention of the churches of Christ.
 Receipts for the year were shown to be $l?3,O00 in round numbers. There were 10S missionaries at work, a gain of 26 over 1sO7 and 158 new churches were or- ganiged, a gain of 34 over 1907. Mem- befship in 1908 increased over 32000.
 During one of the reports the statement was made that minister had contributed $5OOO to missionary purposes during the year. Several delegates arose, saying they would like to see the minister who could give so much. The minister was theR brought forth in the person of the Rev. John Bull of Kansas. and he caused hearty laugh when he said he had made the money by farming, not by preaching.
 Among today's speakers were F. w. Burnham, Springfield, Irls.; J. J. Spencer, Lexington. Ky; President R. H. Cross- hed, Pennsylvania university; R. E. El- more, Roanoke. Va; F. M. Bowling, Los Angeles, Cal, and E. l.. Powell, Louis- vile,

II is nevertheless a fact that the original Of Daniel Voorhees, Pike is George Ade: that Booth Tarkington has for years been studying all the ins and outs. curves and crosses of MT Ade's character with a view to their use; that MT. Tarldngton has even gone so far as to have his char aeter make up" like Mr Ade, and has taken advantage of certain physical prominences in the Ade physiognomy and planted them upon his alleged lawyer from Kokomo.
 From all that has been gathered on the subject of the feud it would seem that MT. Ade acted innocently; that he thought he was paying MT. Tarkington com pliment, and that when he realized the enormity of the thing, he sat down and wept bitter, scaldng tears of regret.
 So women are not the only ones with revengeful spirits, are they?

LAWYERS STILL BATTLE WITH WORDS Immunity of Railroads Dragged Into Case STANDARD OIL TRIAL FeIton, Kellogg and Rosenthal Throw Hot BiIIets of Language at Each
 Other In Careless
 Abandon.

Chicago, October 13. - Questions asked in cross-ex examination of Henry E. Felton, general traffic manager of the Standard oil company, by Frank B. Kellogg, government attorney, in the hearing of the railroad phase of the government suit to dissolve the Stand ard oil company, today brought on colloquy between counsel for the oil company and the government on the subject of immunity to railroads.
 The primary question propounded to MT. Felton concerned a 12-cent rate between Whiting, Ind, where Standard oil company refineries are located. and Toledo, and 11-cent from Whiting to Cincinnati. In this connection MT. Felton declared that the roads out of Chicago under pressure from the bu reau of corporations, put in an illegal rate to Toledo. Attorney Kellogg asked: Did all the railroads pull out these rates to East St. Louis, to Evans vile, to Grand Junction, the rates from Chicago to Toledo, because they were afraid of the bureau of corpor- ations?"
 MT. Rosenthal, counsel for the Stand ard Oil company. interposed, T think all of the railroads that were granted immunity against criminal prosecution by private arrangement with the gov ernment, which was undisclosed, prob ably did so."
 "Win you answer the question:" con tinued MT. Kellogg.
 
 indicted" commented MT. Rosenthal, while MT. Felton replied that he could not answer the question. and MT. Rosenthal continued, and the records in the various cases show that they were granted immunity What they did under the pressure of that grant of immunity we do not altogethe CT know.
 MT Kellogg then interposed with the words, "The more of that sort of talk you put in the record, Mr. Rosenthal, the worse it will be for you"
 Instant rejoinder was made by MT. Rosenthal, who declared, When the time comes that you cannot only con trol your own case but undertake to control what I put in the record, then it is time for me to withdraw from the case and I will do it whenever we reach that stage. l do not hear any denial from the governments side of thc table that these railway companies were granted immunity from criminal prosccution.'
 Mr kellogg diselaimed Knowledge of any immunity or promise of immunity, and after few more words the cross examination was resumed.
 Questions of the freight tariffs in force between Whiting and Evansville and eastern points were then asked of the witness, who testified that the filed tariff gave the rate from Whiting to Evansville at II cents and that state rate not filed. fixed the charge at SL cents. This rate of Sl4 cents was given on the assumption that Whiting and Evensville being both in the same state took state rate which need not be filed with the interstate commerce commission.
 The examination of Mr Felton, with the exception of a few minor questions, was completed at the adjournment . court for the day.
