tion OF Prof. James b. Angel, is to be
made president in fact at the December
meeting of the board of regents. ac-

This report, If. correct. disposes of
much gossip about possible presidents.
Woodrow Wilson, President Finley of
the College of the City of New York,
and others.
Dean Hutchins has taken hold of the
presidency with such admirable spirit
and with such manifest competence
that his appointment TO the permanent
post is regarded as a natural outcome.
However the story exists at present
only in the form Of rumor.
Dean Hutchins was born in New
Hampshire. Though he received his
early education in the east. he grad
uated from Ann Arbor in 1871. He was
superintendent of the Owosso schools
for one year, and then taught in the
literary department OF the university
for three years. He took the law
course. and graduated in 1876. He
practiced until 1884. when he was re-
called to the university to hold the
Jay professorship in law. He went
to Cornell in 1887 to organize the law
department there. In 1896 he was
again called to Ann Arbor, as dean Of
the law department. Several years
ago, while President Angel was acting
as United States minister to Turkey.
Dean Hutchins was acting president.
At the opening of the present school
year he was again placed in that posi-
tion.

Only Deposed sultan's Seal Can Get

Berlin, Nov. 26.-The Imperial Bank
of Germany holds some sS,0OO,o00 de-
posted by Abdul Hamid before he was
deposed from the Sultanship of Tur-
key and which, according to the Frank
furter Zeitung, the present Ottoman
ruler proposes to recover through a
legal action.
The Imperial bank is willing to sur
render the money If the order for 1t
is authenticated by the special seal
adopted by the former Sultan when
the deposit was made, and without
which the bank agreed to refuse to
give up the funds.
The Turkish government was not
aware of this deposit until recently.
Subsequently Abdul signed an order
on the bank for the money, but his sig
nature was not accompanied with the
seal.

New York, Ncv. 26.-According to

the country will be asked for their sup

A representative said a bill would
be introduced to amend the Sherman
act as soon as Congress convened.
Congress, he said, would undoubtedly
take the matter up without delay, as
the decision affected not only the STAN

Campaign"
Silas McBee, editor of the Church

The closing address of the evening
was made by j. Campbell White,
secretary OF the laymen's missionary
movement. He said
"we spend over $25O,OO0.OOO n year
for religious purposes in this country
one fourth. or perhaps even one-fifth
of such an amount would support an
adequate force of missionaries. In
stead of giving $50 600, 900 to $60,0O0,OO0
a year. however, we give less than
$10,O00,O0O a year or less than per
cent. of what we spend for Christian
work at home.
"The two things needed are intelli-
gence and business methods. The city
of Toronto has increased its mission
airy offerings from 100000 to $780,
900 within a little more than year
by the laymen of all churches taking
hold as advocates and organizers. The
Southern Presbyterian church has in
creased its missionary offerings In
three years from $223,OOO to $4,000
per year.
There are at least five different
units that can be dealt with in this
missionary propaganda, Cd the indi-
vidual, CD the congregation, CD the
denomination, (D the city or commun-
ity, and (5) the nation. Until the lay
mems movement was organized the
first three were the only units dealt
with. But the experience of the past
three years proves that the city and
the nation are in some ways the most
important units in this problem.
ut is easier for an individual to do
his part when the congregation is try
ing to do it's whole duty. 1t is cas-
lest for congregation to do its part
when the churches OF a whole city are
moving together. 1t is easiest for any
city to do it's part when the cities OF
the whole nation are lining up for SER
ious business.

nically concerned with the time of
forgery. the counts to which Allen
pleaded guilty were picked at random
in the indictment, but cover all the
offenses charged in the indictment.
Allen, who is in his sixty-third year

ing pleaded not guilty at La Crosse to
