PROF. FOSTER|S OUT LEON Is IN CUST00YTI
CHICAGO CONFERENCE OF BAP. TIsT MINISTERS ExPELs THE
 UNIVERSITY MAN.
SESSION IS EXTREMELY LIVELY
Resolution of Expulsion Adopted Amid Kisses, YelIs and General Confu- sion-Speakers Were HowIed Down lndiscrlminately by the Audience.

Chicago, June 23.-Pruf. George Bur man Foster of the University of Chi. cago, whose denial of the divinity of Christ in a recent book has stirred Chicago Raptists to a high pitch of resentment. has been dropped from the Baptist ministers conference of Chicago.
 Kisses. yells and general confusion. made the meeting one of the stormlest ever held by churchmen in Chicago. and 1t was referred to by one preacher as resembling a political meeting in a rowdy ward.
 Speakers who had been howled or hlssed down sat with flushed indignant faces while the chairman pounded for order.
 The insistence of Rev. pr. A. c. Dixon, of the Moody church that Prof. Foster be dropped for a time brought the fight around to himself, the real object of the meeting being disregard cd for time.
 Rev. Dr. D. D. McLaurin started trouble by asking for q committee to investigate Dr. Dixon's right to mem bership in the conference. This mo ton was hissed down and Dr Dixon explained that he joined the Baptist church in New York.
 Dr. NJ. P. Boynton came in for a hssing when he said:
 
 We are not going at this matter right. Foster Is as good as Myers or any one here, and" his voice was drowned The Myers he referred to is the Rev. Dr. Johnston Myers, one of the chief assallants of Prof. Foster.
 Then some of the ministers tried to cheek the hissing. Dr. Myers shouted above the din:
 Tt is no worse to hiss than to have those present denounced as Dr. Boyn- ion IS 'oing. The misses should not be stopped unless pr. Boynton is stop pedr
 rr Myers attempted to introduce r~.o.dtion to drop Prof Foster, where at his veracity was assatled by Rev. Ri' a. II. IidIultl.
 This matter was decoded for good and all last week." he shouted. "Dr. Myers promlse,i on his honor that If he dld not ge. b;s resoiution through then he wouDi not again bring it up. Now he Is doing exactly contrary to his promise"
 T deny the statement" responded Dr. Myers coolly. q promised not to reintroduce that particular motion be- cause my motives had been question ed Specific charges were wanted, and that Is what have here.'
 Dr. Myers declared that months ago Prof. Foster was asked to explain to the conference why he should be con sidered a Baptist. and the educator mad refused point blank.
 During the excitement motions, counter motions and parliamentary mixnp generally prevailed. After four hours, however worn out by their ex- ertions and emotions, the preachers adopted the resolution dropping Prof. roster from the conference.
 The conference has not the power to eApel hrm from the church and while sueh an event seemed to be desired oy those present, no definite plan of action was mapped ont.

her sisters, she claims, Before at
tempting suicide Miss Reidmaster
wrote out a carefully worded will,
leaving her possessions to local peo-
pie who had be friended her. She
will recover.

NEW LINCOLN PENNIES
SAID TO HAVE FAULTS

Washington. Aug. 5.-The Lincoln
pennies are not so popular as the
treasury officials had hoped for. Ar
fists have always declared that pen
ny superior in design to the Indian
penny could not be turned out and it
is claimed that the Lincoln penny is
a practical demonstration of that
statement.
The new pennies are being sub
jected to criticism by others than ar
fists. 1t was first discovered at the
treasury that they did not stack up
as well as the Indian coins.
The most serious objection to them.
however, is that they are thicker than
the old coins. Institutions which use
coin machines have already begun
complaining that the new pennies do
not fit the machines.
