WATCHING MIS-
S|0hAR|ES' TRIAL.

Washington, Juy 30.-The depart
ment OF state has taken steps to keep
itself closely informed in regard to
the proceedings In sthe trial sof the
two American missionaries, the Rev.
w. II. Sheppard and the Rev. VIII
liam Morrison, which is scheduled to
begin today at Leopoldsville in the
Congo. The case already has been
subject of considerable CORES
pondence between the United States
and the Belgian government and
there is every reason to believe that
the former will see that the two
Americans are protected In all their
rights. %
The two Americans are to be tried
on aschargesof libel. The charge is
made against them by one OF the
Congo concession companies that has
a monopoly Of rubber gathering in
the Kasai region. 1t claims $4,000
damages from each of the men for
"calumnious denunciation." The mis-
sionaries have. for years made public
statements concerning the alleged
abuse of natives, and the suit against
them is based upon an article that
was published in the mission paper
in January, 1908, which alleged that
greater part of the district had
been devastated by the rubber gath
ering carried on by the company, and
that one of the tribes of natives had
been reduced to condition of
wretchedness.
The trial was originally set to be-
gin last May. In response to an ap-
peal from the Congo Reform associa-
ton the Washington government re-
quested the Belgian government that

Historical Pageant in Duxbury.

Duxbury, Mass, July 31.-Dux-
bury held high carnival today "in
celebration of the landing of the Pill
grims at Plymouth and the coming OF
Miles Standish, John Alden and other
Pilgrims to Duxbury, and in honor
of their courage, heroism and valor.
The program included the dedication
Of the Miles Standish monument, an
address by Hon. John D. Long, and
a series of historical pageants de-
picting events in the history of the
Pilgrims in England, Holland and
America.

the hearing Of the case be post
poned. Belgium replied that be-
cause of insurmountable legal OBJ
stacles this was impossible. Never
theless, a postponement of the trial
was announced a few days later and
1t is now deemed likely that the
case maybe dropped altogether as a
result OF the protests OF this gov
eminent, which has never recognized
the cession Of Congo to Belgium and
Is therefore in position TO insist
that the Belgian authorities have no
Jurisdiction over American subjects.

KEEP POLITICS OUT OF 1T.

Justice in freight charges, and that dis
examinations against us should cease, is

acted as n handicap on our case, and
unless that impression can be "ironed
out it is liable to have II damaging

This move for relief from unfair
