Accused Man Tries to Explain Blood
Stains Found by Police.

Chicago Aug. 7.-Startling Informal
ton was obtained by the police this
afternoon in their efforts to clear up
the mystery of the murder of Tuffa
Shashem, - years old, whose dsmem-
bercd body was found recently in
Mud Lake" a part of the Chicago
river
August Caddersell and Dominick
Larado, boys, today testified to Police
Inspector Dorman that young Shashem
had on Sunday last, the day of his
disappearance, entered the home of
Hassin Nemmer, q Turk now under ar
rest, in company with Nemmer. The
boys waited half an hour for their
companion to return. but finally got
discouraged and left. That was the
last they saw of the lad until his
body was brought to the morgue.
Nemmer is 60 years of age. He made
living by peddling notions. His
room at 102 Maher street. is on the
second floor of q dingy frame build
ing. The room is reached by an out
side stairway. 1t was in this room
that the police discovered the saws and

who spent most of today undergoing
an examination at the police station,
explained the stain on the bed was
caused by a cut finger and said that
similar marks on the saws were due
to the fact that he sawed soup bones
with them, it being his custom to cook
his own meats.
Dozens of persons were interviewed
by police officers during the day.
among them being the fathers of sew

Nemmer's peculiar advances toward
them. In connection with the case the
police have re-directed their attention
to the murder year ago of Harry
Kurpa, Is years old. who had been mis-
treated, disappeared suddenly. Sew

in the Calumet river swamps. John

SERIOUS DECLINE
IN Number Of Candidates
For Ministry Deposed.
EncycIica| Embodying Results
( OF Lambeth Conference.
Union Of Churches, Divorce and
Socialism Considered.

London, Aug. An encycliCal EN-
bodying the results of the Lambeth
conference was issued from Lambeth
palace tonight. From it it is learned
that the discussions of the 243 bishops
composing the conference We're based
upon the reports of committees ap-
pointed to consider the various sub
jects, and that they We're secret.
Among the resolutions passed was the
following:
in view of the tendencies widely
shown in the writings of the present
time the conference places on record
the conviction that the historical facts
stated in the crecds are an essential
part of the faith of the church,
The serious decline in the number
of candidates for the ministry is de-
plored; parents are urged to educate
sons to the ministry and churches to
provide sums for the training of cam
didates. The conference resolved also
that the purely educational systems
are educationally as we'll as morally
unsound and that no teaching can be
regarded as adequate until it be re-
ligiouS teaching, which is limited to
historical information ard moral cul-
ture. Interesting to the United States
is the following resolution:
"All races and peoples, whatever
their language and callings, must be
welded iEto one body, and the organi-
ZatiOn of different races living side by
side into separate or Independent
churches on the basis of race or color
is inconsistent with the vital and es-
sential Principle of the unity of
Christ's church.
On the divorce question the resolu-
tons of 1888 were re-affirmed and the
''to remedy the evils, the terrible evils
which have grown up from the crea-
ton of facilities for divorce"
By vote of 81 - 81 the conference
resolved that it was undesirable that
the recent party to a divorce receive the
blessing of the church upon re-mar-
riagc. 1t denounced also the growing
practice of the artificial restriction of
the family.
Socialism took up much of the bSh-
niZed the ideals of brotherhood which
underlie this Democratic movement In
this country and it called upon the
church to show sympathy for the
movement insofar as it strives to pro-
cure for all just treatment and real
opportunity to live thorough human
lives.
