PROFESSOR FOSTER OUSTED
CHICAGO BRETHREN DROP HIM
FROM THE ROLL.
Charged With Denying the Divinity of
Christ in His Recent Book. In
censed Ministers Now Want to
Expel Him.

Chicago, June 22.-Prof. George
Burman Foster, of the University of
Chicago, whose denial of the divinity
of Christ in a recent book has stirred
Chicago Baptists to a high pitch of
resentment, was dropped from the
Baptist Ministers Conference of Chi
cago.
The session was one of the storm
lest ever held in Chicago. The speak
ers who were either Kissed or howled
down, sat with flushed, indignant
faces while the chairman pounded for
order.
The young son of Prof. Foster was
present.
Its shame and unfair" he shout
ed as he left the hall.
Months ago Prof. Foster was asked
to explain to the conference why he
should be considered a Baptist, DR..
Myers declared, adding that Prof.
Foster has refused point blank. Dur
ing the excitement, motions, counter
motions and a general parliamentary
mix-up prevailed. After four hours,
however, worn out by their exertions
and emotions, the preachers adopted
the resolution dropping Prof. Foster
from the conference.
The conference has not the power
to expel him from the church and
while such an event seemed to be de-
sired by those present, no definite
plan of action was mapped out.

Not Lacking in Dignity.

There was once upon a time couR-
try lawyer who was noted for his Sc
date manners and his judicial bearing.
In the course of time he was elevated
to the bench, where he conducted him
self and the court with becoming de-
meanor, and where he won a reputa-
ton for sagacity based nearly alto
gether upon his solemn accents and
his corrugated brow.
One who knew him well was asked
by stranger who saw the judge pass
upon the street whether he was really
an efficient arbiter.

tuberculosis AffIicts Japanese.

Consumption among Japanese labor
ers is increasing to such degree that
the figures are becoming source OF
anxiety to Japanese merchants and of
ficials. A large percentage of labor
ers who are sent back to Japan by
the Japanese charity associations are
consumptives. It is claimed by the
Japanese newspapers comenting on
this matter that through the lack OF
hospital accommodations in the Jap
anese labor camps tuberculosis in
creases at an alarming rate. They
suggest that a new system be en-
ployed in dealing with the sick In
these camps, as the Japanese are
quite ignorant of even the most SIM
pie health safeguards.

ROAD BONDS SELL AT PREMIUM.

100000 installment of the $1,000,000
bond issue for good roads in Henne-

bonds, which bear interest at per

per cent actual interest.
Four companies offered premiums

that there will be no difficulty in dis
