ONE WHO RENTS PROPERTY TO SALOON NOT SUITABLE TO BE
 MEMBER OF BAPTIST CHURCH
Rev. Carl F. Ahrens Defines Scope of His Resolutio
 Relative to Renting for Immoral Purposes
Rev. Mr. Nicholson Declares There Is Not Man Bap- tist Convention Who Would Vote Against Ahrens' Measure
le was opposed to it.

he was opposed to it.
 But, according to his statement to the Farmer reporter, he was merely
 "too tired to stand up."
 pr. Nicholson did say, however, re- garding the proposed recommeneda- tion adopted by the association, rela- tive to the expulsion of owners who rent their property for immoral uses, that each Baptist church is law unto itself and that the action of the As sociation is in no sense binding upon it's several members.
 Dr. Ahrens, with reference to the course that should be pursued to dis cipline a sinful brother, said: q do not believe in bounding any man, but if one violates the law of the church charges should be preferred against him, and he should have a hearing under the law
 The morning service of the Asso- ciates was opened to-day with de- votional service led by Rev. s. D. Woods of New Milford, who sixteen years ago was an instructor in the Bridgeport Business College. At 10:15 o'clock there was a joint missionary session in charge of Mrs. Goulden and Mrs. Sil1iman. At Ills o'clock the convention was given a splendid talk by Rev. Maurice Levy, pastor of the Newton Center church of Boston, one nominations. He spoke upon the home and foreign missions of the church and showed marvellous knowledge of the work to be carried on in the church.
 The address that held the attention of the delegates to the utmost was that of Rev. George W. Nicholson, pas tor of the First Baptist church, who spoke upon the Northern Baptist Convention" held during the past summer at Portland, Oregon. The northern convention, he said, was the factor that was going to bring about the realization of Christ's kingdom within a century He told of the wonderful organization which was to grow out of the convention and how the Baptists of North America, who had struggled along with their dnde- pendent church governments, each church for itself, were ultimately go- ing to be blended together into one great force.
 After dinner in the church base ment Rev. H. B. Carpenter, the nili- tant pastor of the Norwalk Baptist church who has been identified with the fight for civic righteousness in the Twin Cities,' moved that a vote of thanks be given to the ladies of the Second Baptist church and the pastor for the splendid entertainment they had given the delegates The vote was carried after Rev. F. V. Atkinson had stated there was no thanks coming to the pastor, but that the entertainment had been arranged by F. w. Tomlin- son.
 After a devotional service this af- ternoon led by Rev. Theodore Grabdid of this city, the remainder of the seS- sion will be given up to business and an adjournment taken as soon as pos sible.

RUSSIAN DENIAL
 OF JEW MASSACRE
Officials By Rigid Censor ship Preventing News of ! Butchery to World
MORE KISHINER TACTICS
Special from United Press.)

Berlin. Sept 23.-The Russian gov-
 rnment is to-day repeating it's Kish- tnev tactics. Seeking on every hand for information regarding the three days massacre of Jews in Kieff, the official subsidized government news agency has turned over to the foreign news agencies, depending upon it for news, an official denial that any dis orders took place. Officials of the Russian government are exercising a rigid censorship of all dispatches and have sealed every possible avenue by which news of the butcherys might reach the outside world.
 It is now certain that the Russian Government will continue to insist that the massacre never occurred just as in the case of Kishinev when af- ter the whole world had taken official Eognizance of the outrage thes Russian government "investigated'' the affair and reported it untrue. All news from Kief is reaching German correspon- dents through Jewish refugees. None of it has come from the scene of the disorder direct. German papers, for the most part, completely ignore Rus- sia's denial. The Voltlkes Zietung in a careful analysis of the situation de- clares that the Russian government obtains its denials from the authori- ties of KieM, who, having failed to in terfere and bring passive participants in the outrage themselves, directly, naturally they deny everything for to admit even part of the truth would cause the government to remove them from office and would subject them to possible Imprisonment Their state nents are given to the world through the medium of the governments news paper dupes, the Volthes Zietung says the whole affair is similar to permit ting murderer to act as judge and jury at his own trial. Correspon- dents in Russia recall that in the Jew ish massacre at Mohileff in 1905, the Russian government not only did not punish the rioters, but indicted a num- Der of Jews on charges of having in- cited the riots and by means of per jured witnesses actually sent a num- Der of these Jews to prison.
 Should the Kieff massacre be inves- tigated by the government there is no doubt that the tragedies of Kishinev and Mohileff will be repeated. Only the knowledge of this fact keeps prom inent Jews of Berlin from taking the latest outrage up officially with the German government.

COMMANDER PEARY

Explorer Greeted by Crowds of Cheering People as He
 Passed Through State
RECEPTION AT PORTLAND
Especial from United Press.)

\OpSCldl HUH CHllSu IISSS.J Portland, Me-, Sept. 23.-Happy in the successful achievement of the ob- Ject of many years struggle, Comman- der Robert B. Peary is again in Maine. The train bearing the successful pole hunter and family and over a score of newspaper reporters crossed the line at Vanceboro at 9:30 a. m. today, en- tering the State of Maine. At many stations through which the train pass ed curious throngs had gathered in the hope of catching a glimpse of Peary but there was nothing like a formal welcome till the train pulled into Bangor at 1:15 D. m., where the explorer was met by Mayor Woodman and the Bangor city council welcom- ing committee and escorted through crowds of cheering people to the Ban- ger House where luncheon was serv- ed. On the balcony of the Bangor House, in view of thousands of peo- pie, a magnificent loving cup was pre- sented to the commander.
 At Waterville, Colby College students gave lusty cheers for Peary during the short stop there after leaving Ban gor. Bowdoin College had planned a rousing welcome at the depot but this will not take place as the train does not go through Brunswick.
 Peary will arrive in Portland at TAO this evening and then will occur the only big reception until after the set clement of the North Pole controversy There will be a banquet at the Fal- mouth Hotel auditorium. Governor F'ernald and other distinguished men will attend.

Matthew Henson, the colored stevedore of Com mander Peary, fell overheard while shaking hands with a member of the Tyrian's crew, but was pulled out none the worse for his bath.

Rev. Carl F. w. AhrenS, pastor Of che Immanuel Baptist church, defined to a Farmer reporter today what he meant by the resolution he introduced at the 71st annual session of the Fair field County Baptist Association in the Second Baptist church yesterday. The resolution called for the expulsion from the church of any members of it who own property and rent it for inn moral purposes.
 By immoral purposee' said MT. Ahrens this morning, "I mean the renting for saloons, gambling houses, brothels or other places of that sort. I offered the resolution as @ member of a committee upon civic righteous ness. The report was accepted ana the question was discussed. In sup porting the resolution my stand was taken on the ground that there are sometimes men in the church who fall to take recognition of the cause Of civic righteousness. That there are sometimes places against which such men could strike a blow for civic bet !terment, but they refrain from action for fear they will do something that twill reflect upon the character of an- other member of the church who may be interested in the property where the immoral business is being carried
 
 one way or the other, as I believe the question is one that has been straddled Hong enough. The TeSolutlon was as follows:
 : "This association recommends to : all churches of this body to expel any person who has in his or her possession property that they know 2 is being used for immoral pur-
 poses
 Rev. George w. Nicholson, pastor of the First Baptist church, did, not vote for nor against the adoption of the resolution. l.; He told a. Farmer report fer today that he was too tired to get up, but that he does not believe there was anyone in the convention who would vote mo- on the question.
 There was one man in the meeting, "a delegate from Stepney, who voted against the resolution, but he explain ed afterwards that he did not quite understand 1t.
 During the discussion upon the adoption of the resolution Rev. MT. Nicholson had joined in the debate in an attitude of apparent hostility. In part his remarks were to the effect that the church had never stood high CT in the estimation of tha masses of the people than it does now and that a more optimistic expression would be better, than that the association should be too pessinistic. He had the church known to drink and given ito drunkenness that he would probab- ly be SO bounded that he would have to leave the church.
 Because pr. Nicholson did not, af- ter these remarks, vote for the lAhrens' resolution it was supposed by some members of the association that

ON STRAIGHT PRINCESS LINES
towns In This Design Are Charming
for Mountain Wear.

From the American Register, London.
There are very knowing little frocks
too. which are on the straight princess
order. with only shallow yoke and un-
dersleeves of sheer material, and some OF
these models are most alluring, but they
are downright practical only for the wom-
an who spends the hot weather at gem
timely cool resorts. For the woman who
does not the coat and skirt suit with sep
arate blouse or the coat and jumper frock
with but little of the serge used above the
waist line, is the best general utility in
vestment.
The straight princess or redingote of
fine white serge, braided with soutache or
rrttail, is a charming thing for mountains
or northern shore. and the long loose coat
accompanying it will be welcome enough
on cool days. This coat in the dressier
models often assumes cutaway lines
meeting only at the bust or meeting not
at all and leaving the front of the frock
beneath showing.
Other models we have seen have the
long, straight fronts buttoning on the bust
or fastening there under ornaments of
passementerie or of silk. Some effective
models with straight falling fronts have
semimilitary braid effects down each
side.

In fact, there are dozen ways to get
