The lifeless form of a woman. sitting

was the gruesome sight that greeted
President J. r. Kinssbury of the uni
versity as he entered his Office In the
silence of the night this body had come
and taken the chair Of highest authUri-
" in the institution. and there IL sat
until dawn, when a force of janitOrs
smuggled il out of the building so the
students would not know of the events

This piece of news leaked out yester-
day after being kept secret among the
professors for several days 1t had
been whispered among the students
however, but the perpetrators we're
only too willing TO keep quiet about it,.

There is also a ruIaOT about that the
same figure was still haunting the
buildings and had been sitting I'm q

has as yet made this the subject Of d
lecture TO "A class IN engineering.
This visitor is supposed to have nav
eled from its resting place i'm the watts
i'm the mechanical building through the
tunnel into the library building. Thus
il would not disturb the night watch
man while going from one building TO
another. but the school detective force
is still baffled about the way It gained
access to the presidents Office. The
faculty sleuths are further convinced
that it did not do its stunt unassisted
because OF the fact that il was modest

OF this amount. and upon the bondsmen
notifying them that the commissioners had
made such a payment of S5t25.J9 illegally
to the Inter Mountain Republican on Jau

JUST A LITTLE FOR
STOMACH'S SAKE

]. d. Cleaton, who is chairman Of the
board of stewards at the Asbury Meth
odist church. introduced a resolution at
the closing session, Thursday afternoon,
of the Methodist district conference, to
make it against the laws of the Meth
odist church for it's members to drink
spirituous liquors at any time. 1t was
tabled 1t is probable, however, that it
will be brought up before the general
Section 20, paragraph 3, of the rules
of conduct of the Methodist church for
bids:
Drunkenness or the drinking of spir-
ttuous liquors unless in cases of neces-
sity.
Mr.. Cleaton wished to have the clause
unless in cases of necessity" stricken
out
He said that there is never a time when
spirituous liquors are necessary.
Too many of us in the Methodist
church." he said, "cIing to PauFs and
Timothy's injunction to take a little wine
for the stomach's sake"
When the resolution was introduced, the
Rev. Dr. Ledbetter of st. Johns who
was secretary of the conference, moved
that II be tabled. His motion was carried.
The effect of this motion was to kill the
resolution.
The resolution reads: Resolved, That
1t is the sense Of this district conference
that the words unless in cases of neces-
sity' should be stricken from that para
graph of the general rules which forbids
the use Of liquor unless in cases of neces-
sity"
The district conference included all the
Methodist churches of Atlanta and vicln-
ity It concluded with Thursday after
moons session.

HAS SAILED
ON NEW YORK VOYAGE

NEW YORK, June 19-Samuel Com
pers, president OF the American FEEDER
alton of Labor, sailed today on the
steamer Baltic for Liverpool. Mr.. Com
pers expects to remain abroad until Sep
tember More than 1000 persons. per-
sonal friends and officials of labor organ
izations were at the port to bid Mr.. Com
pers goodbye. He was heartily cheered by
the crowd when he boarded the steamer.
Mr.. Gompers spoke feelingly of the
demonstration.
II go to Europe" he said, with
heart filed with gratitude toward the
whole American people. Many persons out
side the ranks of labor have sent their
best wishes to myself and Mr.. Mitchell
and Mr. Morrison in the contempt cases,
and we all feel keenly the interest that
is taken in us-not for ourselves, but for
what we represent. This demonstration
and the many messages 1 have received
lead me to believe that the cause of labor
is being better understood by all the peo-
pie In this country. including those who
do not have to labor with their hands"
Mr.. Gompers had a brief farewell con-
ference today with the members of the
executive council of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor, who were in session at
his hotel when he left for the steamer.
