M. E. HOME MISSIONS TO
SPEND 100000 IN YEAR
CaIifornia's Request for Fifth of
Appropriation Is Laid
on Table

TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 15.-The feature
of today's meeting of the Home Mis-
sions of the Methodist Episcopal
church was the appropriation of $780,
600 for mission work in America and
the request for a million and a half
for the church. The funds are TO be
used largely for work at the frontier
posts and in the city slums
OF the 100000 appropriated today
% per cent was declared for church eX-
tension and the balance for home mis-
sions. The sum of Sal 900 was first
deducted from the total for debts and
about 100000 for administration eX-
penses. After the grand total had
been decided upon. the rest of the day
was occupied in apportioning the dis
burSementS by states.
California asked for One-fifth of the
total appropriation for church eXten-
sions. but the motion was laid on the
table During the debate of the ratio
TO be decided upon fOrA the church eX-
tension in conjunction with that of
home missions a delegate declared:
The ratio of four to one for home
missions over church extension is not
enough. You are talking too much
for the work of piling up brick and
stone while the work for flesh and
blood suffers just that much in pro-
portion"

FITZPATRICK CHILD WILL
REMAIN WITH MOTHER
Judge Lewis Gives Interesting
Decision in Case of Con-
siderable Interest

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 13.-Judge Lewis
of the superior court this noon rem
dered his decision in the case of John
Fitzpatrick against May Fitzpatrick,
which has become of especial interest
because the Universal Brotherhood and
Theosophical Homestead were involved
in that the child has been in the custody
of the homestead. The action was pri-
marily to modify the decree of divorce
by which the custody of the daughter
was awarded to the mother Fitz-
patrick, in his complaint, asked that
the child be given to him on the ground
that the mother had abandoned it to
the homestead; that it was not prop
erly nourished at the institution and
that it was taught theosophy instead of
Christianity.
The decision of Judge Lewis was that
the allegation of abandonment had not
been shown. but that it had been
proven. on the other hand, that the
mother was constant in the care Of the
child. He stated that the testimony
showed that theosophy as a religion
was not taught in the school. The de-
cision leaves the custody of the child
with the mother and, therefore, at the
Theosophical homestead, where the
mother resides.

box In the safe deposit vaults. No one
but Mr.. Bonnet had access to the box.
and he must have taken it. Bonnet
is gone, the money is gone and no one

Brown, directing the arrest of Bonnet
on charge of felony embezzlement

my wife's room and stolen my key"
Later, it is asserted. Cailleaud said to

wax impression of it 1t is also
complained that Cailleaud, in conversa-
tions with Charles Carpy Leon Boo
queraz, Arthur Legallet and Paul St.
Julien, stated that Bonnet had robbed

The statements are all false and de-
famatory. Bonnet asserts. His attor-
ney is James s. Sims.
