Or. A. E. KEIGWIN
REFUSES CALL
Anonymous Notes Made New
York Pastor Refuse Cham
berS-WyIie PaStOrate

Because of an affront implied In an
inquiry prompted by issimations cofi-
tanned in anonymous letters, the Rev.
Dr. A. E Keigyin. president Of Ursnus
College, pastor of West End Prcshyter-
ian Church in New York. and son or
the Rev DR. A. N. Keigwin, pastor
emeritus OF West Presbyterian Church,
this city. has peromptorily declined tina
pastorate Of the Chambors-Wylie Press
bytcrian Church. Philadelphia.
Dr. Keigwin had been elected to tho
pastorate Of the Chambers -Wylio
Church. and it was understood that no
would accept the office. His declinaticn
was made within the last week.
Ever since the resignation Of the Rev.
Dr. II. Trumbull Lee several years ago.
the congregation has sought pastor,
but for lack OF unanlmity has not been
successful.
When the Rev DR.. Kelgwln was pro-
posed recently. his selection seemed
most satisfactory except to one or two
members of the congregation. Indeed.
I'm the CONGREGATIONAL meeting held on
November II. the election OF Or. kcig-
win virtually was by the entire meme
bership. only one man being inslstenr
In his opposition to one OF the ablcst
clergymon In the Presbyterian Church.
This man said that he had received
information which made It his Chris
tian duty to oppose Or. Keigwin for
the pastoratc." When the question
was put 20 a vote, the objector was
sllenced by an overwhelming majority
against him. Thereupon DR.. keigwin
| was Informed of his election as pastor.
an1 expressed his Willingness 20 go to
! Philadelphia.
In the meantime. It Is understood.
several ANONYMOUS letters were received
by officers Of the church and. thinking
TO act in fairness as well as with pro-
prietv. some OF the trustees decided to
communicate 10 Or. keigwin the SUBJ
iect Of the unsigned letters.
Dr. Keinwin listened politely TO tho
trustees of the Philadelphia church but,
with ont any comment upon the anony-
nous letters. he said that he would
withdraw his consideration Of ths
pastorate.
Assurances that the trustees and the
congregation had implicit confidence In
him could not induce him to chanss
his mind. with the result that. within
the last three davs. members OF tho
Chambers Wylie Church have been IN
formed that Dr. Kegwin would not
take the pastoratc IL pays $1,000.

by Expert to be Made
in the Delaware

public the complete report OF the New
port Naval Conference, held last sum-
mer, President Roosevelt ana Acting
Secretary OF the Navy Newberry have
indorsed a resolution OF the general
board that Commander Key. whose letter
% criticism of the Delaware battleship

more important features of Commander

enco. being taken up a section at a time.
The changes recommended were:
That splinter-proof armor should be
placed around the uptakes and ventilator
supply pipes within the citadel and be-
tween the upper limit Of oight-inch armor
and the upper deck Of the North Da-
kota.
That means OF rofrigerating be applied
TO an magazines OF the North Dakota
and Delaware.
That two nre-control masts OF tn
same general type as that tried ON board
the Florida be Installed on the Delaware
and North Dakota.
The conference made the following gen.
eral recommendations. which were neces.
sarily qualified.
That the ventilation pipes and cowls or
the North Dakota and Delaware SHOULD
shortened 10 the lowest practicable limi
and that the tunnels OF the north Da
kota and Delaware be shortened as mucl
as practicable having In view the neces
stiles of fire control and the habtabilit,
/ Of the bridges.
That the location OF searchlights OF
the North Dakota and eDleware should

That the torpcdo-control station on th

A further valuable test of the condition of the
municipal finances of any city is always to be
found in the amount of money spent for the sup
port of public schools To avoid introducing
temporary expenditures, like the building of new

made the basis of the study and TABLE III shows
the per capita expenditure for teachers salaries

year the average per capita expenditure of the

greater than the per capita average of the license
