GRAFT BY THE CHURCH
is CHARGED BY SIMMONS
4tlar'ta Minister Declared Methodist Church Extracts
Money From State for Sectarian Schools Gre
ated Sensation Among His Confreres
From the Atlanta Georgian.

At the meeting of Methodist min
listers Monday morning Rev. o. c.
Simmons created quite lively argu-
ment, in which the majority of min
listers participated, when he said:
The Methodist church, in extract
ing money from the state for the use
of Methodist schools and colleges, is
guilty of graft "
Rev. Mr.. Simmons was address
ing the body of ministers on the sub
Ject, The Future of Our Denomina
tional Schools" Mr.. Simmons stated
that the church should abandon it's
secondary and grammar schools, and
then conduct its colleges
without expense to the state.
There is a state law" continued
DR.. Simmons, (which says no funds
shall be appropriated to sectarian
schools and colleges. Just so long

Liabilities Over S6,OOO,OOO.

Mr. Booth frequently intrusted the
management of the business to his
staff, apparently believing in COM
mon with the public that the big
firm was safe from financial difficult
ties. He was a member of the Chi
cagO, the Chicago Athletic, the Chi
cago Yacht, the Chicago Golf, Ont
wentsia and Union League Clubs,
and the news of the receivership last
September was entirely a surprise to
the public.
The liabilities were estimated at
over $6,00O,000, but the assets, at
first supposed to be sufficient, dwin-
died steadily as the investigation
proceeded, and have officially been
estimated as low as 100000.
Sensational testimony was adduced
from F. r. Robbins, who was in
dicted with Mr. Booth today. The
witness told a startling story of false
statements presented to the banks to
bolster up the lettering credit of the
firm. These statements, by reducing
the figures showing liability and in
creasing the assets, Mr. Robbins
said, we're 100000 away from the
true conditions of affairs. The
statement of July 18th alleged to
have been presented to the Cont
mental National Bank forms the ba-
sis of today's indictments.

as, Methodists continue to get money
from the state for their literary in
situations just so long will they con-
tlnue to be guilty of false represen-
tation. Methodist schools are sec
tartan, and the practice is obviously
nothing but graft.
Rev. Mr.. Simmons advocated the
dong away with all the church's Sec
ondary schools and then the making
OF its colleges, without expense to
the state, the best in the land. -
He said with the great national
movement for more and better gram
mar schools the churchs secondary
institutions were no longer needed.
Although the majority of ministers
rose to their feet in indignant pro-
test Of DR.. Simmons terms graft"
and false representation" a few
sided with him in his belief.
The matter will be gone further
into at later date.

FISH TRUST MEN INDICTED
GRAND JURY AFTER w. VERNON
BOOTH, SOCIETY MAN.
Charged With Feloniously Securing
100000. His Father Noted
for Cleaning Fish.

CHICAGO.-W. Vernon Booth,
president of A Booth & Co., the So
called fish trust, which went into the
hands of a receiver last September,
and F. R. Robbins, former assistant
treasurer of the company, were in
dicted today. They, with others to
the grand jury unknown" are
charged with entering into a con-
spiracy by means of which they Sc
cured 'willfully, maliciously, feloni-
ously," ETC., the sum of 100000
from the ContinentaI National Bank
of Chicago.
The two men are jointly indicted
in one true bill which contains only
three counts, none of them differing
substantially.
News of the garnd jurys actions
created a sensation in Chicago.
w. Vernon inherited from his
father what is said to have been the
largest fishing business in the world.
The elder Booth was a Woodworking
business man, who to his last day
could and would clean a fish or han
die a sail boat with any of his en-
plOyes. His son, William Vernon,
upon his accession to power, was one
of the best known polo players in
the country, and was socially promi-

that he could make the expression

and that's all. Mr. Rockefeller can
afford to give the money. He could
give up $500 every day of his life
and still have enough income left to
pay the grocery bills. His kindly
act was none the less gracious be-
cause he is a very rich man.

Booth Wanted to Play Fair.

Mr.. Robbins said that when Mr..
Booth learned that the statement
had been made to the banks, and
that it was false, he insisted that the
banks be promptly informed of act
ual conditions. This was done at
secret meeting in the Continental
National Bank, the witness said.
The whole fabric of alleged decep-
ton was laid bare and the future OF
the great fishing business thrown on
the mercy of the bankers. For
month the secret was kept from the
public. Then came the crash.
Bonds were fixed at $25,OOO IN
each case, but capiases, though IS
sued formally, we're not served.

AFFLICTED CHILDREN
Statistics Show Big Decrease in
the Number in Georgia.
CANNOT Be ACCOUNTED FOR

School Census Reveals That the
Number of Idiotic and Deaf and
Dumb Children Is Steadily Grow
ing Smaller, the Infirm Now Being
Only 1909. There Are in the
State Eleven Thousand Children
Who Have Never Attended School.
ATLANTA.-A steady decrease in
blind, deaf and dumb and idiotic
children in Georgia is shown by the
annual report of State School Com
missioner Pound, which is now in
course of preparation.
In 1898 there were 1875 blind
white children of school age outside
of institutions provided for them in
Georgia, and 14O negroes similarly
afflicted. These figures dropped to
135 whites in 1903 and 107 negroes
in 1903. There was further fall
during the succeeding five years I'M
til in 1908 there were only "a blind
white children and 80 negroes.
In the deaf and dumb class SINH
lar showing is made. The number
of whites so afflicted fell from 242
in 1908 to III in 1908. Each
school census shows fewer negroes
than white deaf mutes.
The total number of child idiots
dropped from SIS in 1903 to 522 in
1908. The grand total of children
classed as ''inirmities, meaning
those afflicted as above, dropped
from 1889 in 1898 to 1,O09 in 1908.
School authorities are at a loss to
account for the decreases. Most of
them attribute 1t to a growing
knowledge of the laws of health and
to the progress of temperance.
Progress by schools of the state
as we'll as growing interest in edu-
cation on the part of the public is
shown by further figures which will
be in the report. The number of
children who had never been to any
schools found each census year fol-
lows.
