SUNDAY CALLS MINISTER'S
SOME UNPLEASANT NAMES

PITTSBURG, June 1.-Rev. Billy
Sunday the evangelist, delivered an ad-
dress to the Presbyterian ministers of
Pittsburg today. His words caused
CONSERVATION among the preachers,
some of whom left the First Presby-
terian church with their dignity stung,
but most of them remained.
Rev. Sunday, who is a former pro-
Quoting a revival at Sharon, near here,
why Some Ministers Fail"
The evangelist said many ministers
of the present day were fudge eating
mollycoddles who were continually
springing bullcon to their congrega-
tions."
He asserted that few ministers of to-
day are anything but stiffs, salary
quacks, willing to accept serial dis
tinction, and that many of them are
qualified for the funny house,
Continuing, he said: Some of you
ministers are controlled by riches and
not by the Bible Many of you are
grafters pure and simple. You know
this Is true. There are some of you
preaching today that should be carry
ing the hod.
'What we do want is to tear down the
seminaries and stand the professors on
the heads in mud puddles. Seminaries
and their teachings are of no more use
to preaching than a cranes legs are to
a setting hen.

geon, and my line is to cut out the
abscess in the side of the church"

WOUNDED BOY WILL
RECOVER, SAY DOCTORS
Authorities Are Undecided as te
What Steps to Take Against
Lads Who Shot COM
panion

What action will be taken in the case
of Clayton Brandt, IA years old, who
last Saturday shot at his friend, Will
liam Colby, 13 years old, with a small
caliber rifle, "just to scare him." and
severely wounded the boy, will not be
determined until the crisis in Colby s
condition is passed.
At present the boy, who is at the
home of his parents, 5033 Monte Vista
street, is in fair way to recover from
the effects of the bullet, which struck
him in the abdomen and is thought to
have lodged in the liver.
In an effort to determine the truth of
the matter Detectives Hosick and Zeig-
Ter took Brandt and the three witnesses
of the shooting, Levi Wilcox, George
Pedder and Urban Meyers, to Eagle
Rock, where the affair occurred
I'VE were all out hunting" said one
of the boys, when Colby said he would
have to go back home. We tried to
prevent him, and when he was a long
way off some of us fired in his direc-
ton, Just to scare him. One shot struck
the dirt near him and he turned around.
lust then we saw him put his hand to
his stomach and run away. We did not
know he was hurt until afterward."
Brandt admits he fired toward Colby.
He was above him and about 125 yards
away. In trying to shoot over him the
bullet dropped and struck the boy in
the abdomen.

METHODIST CONFERENCE
HURRIES ITS BUSINESS
Charges of Heresy Will Hereafter Be
Laid Before General Assembly.
Probation Period Is
Cut Off

BALTIMORE June Reports and
the Methodist Episcopal general con-
noon sessions with the greatest dis
patch. There was little discussion of
most of the questions. In this way
large amount of matter of routine
character was disposed of.
Some of the more important mea-
sures, however, had to run the fire
of debate before being acted upon.
One of them pertained to heresy trials.
Charges of heresy which may be laid
against professors in the seminaries II
they come to the bishops will, in the
future, be turned over to the annual
conference, of which the accused is a
member, If he be a minister, and If a
layman, to the pastor of the church
to which he belongs. In the past when
charges of this character have been
preferred against a teacher the bishops
have had to pass upon their validity
and afterwards appoint conferences to
sit at their trials.
A report which received careful con-
sideration before it finally was adopted
was one doing away with the six
months probation system. Under the
new rule persons may be received into
the church as soon as they are rec
commended by the official board, or by
the class leaders and stewards meeting
with the approval of the pastor. While
doing away with the old method, it
also allows for a period of probation
of any length that may be deemed
necessary.

La FONDE SAYS LEAGUE
WILL VOTE FOR TAFT
w. A. Clark's Private Car Porter Says
$4,000 Thousand Members
VIII BE Solid for the
OhIoan

The Afro-A American league of Amer
lea proposes to deliver $4,000 votes
for Taft. Its president. Charles Felix
La Fonde, says so, and says 1t without
a tremor.
La Fonde is the man in charge of
Senator Clarks private car, and yes
terday he issued an official call for
the gathering Of his race in Chicago.
He will during the remainder Of the
campaign transfer his allegiance from
the complex duties of making the Mon
tana multi millionaire comfortable
while travelling to the hair-raising de-
tails of managing national campaign.
La Fonde has called on all the state
presidents to send the faithful to Lett
hall, 1918 Wabash avenue, Chicago, on
June IL.
La Fonde does not say so. but others
who have their ears to the ground
say the league Is being used by the
Republican national committee.
1t Is more than mere gossip that La
Fonde let the facts leak out to leaguers
that both Chairman Harry S. New and
Secretary Elmer Dover of the Repub-
lican organization have encouraged the
league substantially in its pilgrimage
to the lake shore
The fact that Chicago is selected and
that the dates of the two conventions
are so near is in itself regarded as
S1gnfncant, Al ledSI tHree ueleSdteS
will go from each state.
Until La Fonde strikes the windy
city Capt. Chavis will be in charge of
American headquarters, he says.
La Fonde knows the political game
from his experience as sergeant at
arms at three national conventions.
Years ago while living in Oakland he
helped Senator George C.. Perkins
campaign.
1--WE want Taft for president" said
La Fonde yesterday, "and we propose
to spike the guns of the other fellows.
"Our feeling for Roosevelt is a kindly
one and as for Taft we have concluded
thai he was not entirely to blame In
the Brownsville matter, as he has
shown spirit of fairness by appoint
ments in the war department.
I'VE appreciate Foraker's assistance,
but will feel sure that Judge Taft will
do us justice"
La Fonde in his high spirits also let
out other state secrets.

CRUISERS WILL TRY
UNIQUE EXPERIMENT
TORPEDO BOAT DESTR0YERS
TO BE IN TOW
Special Voyage to Honolulu and Sa-
moa to Be Undertaken by Nine
Warships, Starting Early
In August

VENICE, June 1.-While Admiral
Sebree, Capt Cochran, Capt. Howard
and other officers of the U. S. Califor-
mia and Tennessee were ashore Satur-
day, when they were entertained at
banquet by Abbot Kinney, and again
on Sunday, there was a discussion
which developed certain plans OF the
navy department not heretofore made
public.
These plans comprehend the cruise of
nine vessels to Honolulu and Samoa
and the making of the longest tow of
torpedo boat destroyers ever under
taken by any country. The purpose of
the enterprise is to demonstrate how
we'll this may be done, If 1t can be
done we'll at all. Each one of tn
nine armored cruisers will tow a. tor
pedo boat destroyer, the nine of the
latter assigned to this service being
now at different points along the
northern coast.
The armored cruisers now in these
waters, or along the Pacific coast, are
in three divisions. In the first division
are the West Virginia (fagship), the
Pennsylvania, the Colorado and the
Maryland. In the second division are
the Tennessee (f1agship), the Califor-
mia, the South Dakota and the Wash
ington Included in the third division,
under Admiral Swinburne, is the
Charleston.
All the cruisers of the first and sec
ond divisions, and the Charleston of
the third, are to make the great tow.
They will leave about the first of Aug
ust and the expectation is that they
will have returned by the first of No
vember.
The test is of extreme Importance to
f, kAI 20 e1.
that any American naval vessel may
have it's own torpedo destroyers with
it in any part of the world.
Admiral Dayton, whose flagship is
the West Virginia, is the senior rank
ing officer and is now in command, but
as he will be retired before this cruise
begins there is some speculation as to
what officer will have command of the
towing expedition.
Admiral Sebree's flagship. the Ten
nessee, which left here this morning,
is one of the nine vessels to go on the
long voyage, and it is anticipated that
he will succeed to the command of the
Pacific fleet, will keep the Tennessee as
his flagship and will command the
Honolulu-Samoa expedition. The
voyage, it is observed, will be made 70
places where there are American coal
ing stations
The South Dakota, being new ship,
is apart from Adrimal Sebree's COM
mand at present because she is having
an official supplementary trial trip.
and before she rejoins her division the
other three vessels in 1t, the Tennessee,
Washington and California, each tow
ing torpedo boat destroyer, will have
left for Magdalena bay to engage in
target practice and to give the towing
of the destroyers an initial test. This
latter voyage will be made about the
last of this month.
