IGNORES
BAPTIST PROTEST

CHICAGO. June 25.-The professors and
trustees Of the Chicago University will not
heed the action Of the Baptist ministers
expelIing Prof George B. Foster from
their organization because OF his religious
Jews.
The ministers have announced that they
intend to carry their night against Prof
Foster to the university but the profess
sors Of that institution declare that the
faculty will ignore the ministers, and
that Prof Fosters standing at the uni
versity has not been affected in the least
They characterize the action Of the min
listers as a "lamentably absurd proceed
ing" but decline to accept it in a serious
light
Il is pointed out that the Chicago uni-
versity which employs Prof. Foster. is
not IAN annex of a Baptist Sunday
school" but a university with broad
mission. and that It cannot be dictated
to by any Baptist organization or Baptist
minister"

DEAD IN DIXIE LAND.
Havoc Wrought In south by Terrific
Winds.

Dispatches gathered throughout the
that from fifty to seventy-five people
met sudden death in the great wind
that caused havoc throughout the
south. The number of injured Is prob
ably threefold the list of killed. and 1t
probably will be several days before a
complete list can be gathered. While
the storm, which reached The south
from the upper Mississippi valley early
Friday, left its scar on Mississippi, Ar
kansas. Kentucky, Alabama, Missouri
and more remote states. Tennessee
perhaps suffered the most severely.
Mississippi's most disastrous point
was Horn Lake, where six met death.
Arkansas reports a total of twelve
dead, with likelihood that 1t will be
added to as the inaccessible wire
points are picked up. Alabama has
four dead near Hartzell. Kentucky
escaped with much property damage,
but no deaths, while Missouri has sew
era killed at Somerville and Golden.
Georgia lost two when a boat capsized
in the Atlantic.
In Arkansas the towns which lay in
the swath of the recent tornado at
Brinkley suffered most. They were
West Marion, Weakley and Vicinage.
In Crawford county ninety persons
were reported to have been injured.
This Is the country about Fort Smith.
Monmouth Springs reported eight
dead.
Careful estimates indicate that at
least fiGty people were killed in Ten
nessee, while the money loss Will not
fall short Of $1,000. 900. At Franklin
and in Hillsboro there was loss of life,
The latter town is said to be practically
destroyed, while at Centervillc and
adjoining villages the damage is re-
ported to be very heavy, both in lives
and property. Near Pulaski the death
list reached twelve and many were in
jured.
In the vicinity Of Chattanooga wires
were blown down and the movement
of ain greatly hampered. The
hurricane followed the Cumberland
valley, wrecking small owns and de-
%stroying farm houses. At Ebenezer
eighteen houses were blown down.
