and the alleged Cooper as a balance
due him was given $123 in cash.
The man Cooper failed to call for
the merchandise he had paid for and
an inquiry was made of the Lindon

the check was worthless.

CARNEGIE'S MONEY
IS NOT WANTED
If 1t Involves the Abandonment of
sectarianism - Interesting Fight
Is on to Secure the Convention Next
Year.

LOUISVILLE, KY, May 13.-It was
auxiliaries day so far as the actual
labors of the Southern Baptist Conven.
ton were concerned, though the city is
filled with delegates to the conven-
tion proper. This does not open until
tonight at the First Regiment Armory
and today the trustees of the South
ern Baptist Theological Seminary, the
Laymen's Missionary Movement, the
Baptist Young Peoples Union and
the Southern Baptist Education So
ciety, struggled for the limelight.
Themes taken by the speakers were
generally along the lines of the work
and the futures of their various asso-
Citations, while the report of President
E. Y. Mullins, of the Seminary, and the
reelection of Joshua Levering as head
of the directorate of the institution,
were the matters of chief foment to
those interested in the great educa-
tional side of the Baptist church.
Almost unanimous sentiment to re-
ject the offer of the Carnegie Founda-
tion fund, providing money to secta-
rian schools that will drop their sec
tarianism, was the spirit at banquet
tonight of the Southern Baptist Edu-
cation Society. The most prominent
educators of the south were present at.
the Gait House, and a response to an
address of welcome by A. P. Monta-
que, of Birmingham, was one of the
most brilliant orations ever heard in
the historical old salon. The plea for
the unification of the Baptist College
entrance requirements was prominent
in the speeches before the society
which will elect officers today.
In an address before the Baptist
Young Peoples Union the Rev. o. c.
S. Wallace, of Baltimore, ateackeu
what he termed "fastidious Baptists,"
whose sensibilities do not permit
them to approve the immersion prac-
tices.
