BAPTISTS REPLY TO
DR.. BROUGHTON
CONFERENCE FOR EDUCATION IN
SOUTH is WARMLY DEFENDED
AT MEETING OF BAPTIST MIN
ISTERS.

The Conference for Education In the
South held in Atlanta last week did a
good work, and is a great organization
working for the best interest of the Amer
lean people, was the opinion of the major
ity of the Baptist ministers of the city
who attende the regular weekly meet
ing of the Baptist ministers conference
at the First Baptist church Monday morn
ing.
The recent attacks made on the methods
of the educational conference by a we'll
known Atlanta Baptist divine were re-
sented by a large majority Of those at
tending the ministers meeting Monday.
The matter was first brought before the
meeting when Rev. ]. L. d. Hillyer crit
icised the conference for not opening the
meetings with prayer. He severely criti-
cised them, and agreed with Rev. Len
G. Broughton in his attack on the con-
ference.
DIR. WHITE SPEAKS.
I'VE should resent this attack on the
Southern Educational conference that has
been made by different divines during the
asst two days" said Rev. John E. White.
pastor of the Second Baptist church,
when he took the floor after DR.. Hflyer
had finished his attack on the confer
ence. Those who have attacked it simply
do not know. Some of them were elders and
Sunday school teachers in leading
churches in their respective cities. and
the attack on them should be resented by
this gathering.
well known Christians attended the
meetings of the conference, and you all
know that they would not be connected
with an educational conference If it were
as it has been pictured. They would not be
connected with an athelstic movement.
'T attended the meetings of the confer
ence and believe that the majority Of
those in attendance were good, Christian
men,"
Here DR.. White named the leaders OF
the educational conference and pointed
out that they were all religious. During
his discussion of the subject number OF
the ministers in attendance spoke up and
commended the leaders of the conference
in very high terms. Some of them had
been pastors and others Sunday school
teachers of some of the ministers at the
meeting.
DIR. Len G. Broughton, who on Sunday
criticised the conference. was not in at

Whose Regulations Were Bad-NO
Arrests Have Been Made.

ADA, Okla, April 19.-Four prominent
cattlemen were taken from the city Jail
here today and lynched by mob of one
hundred citizens.
The mob. II is said was organized in
the Commercial club rooms and marched
man stood guard at the prison and he
was quickly overpowered and the four
prisoners seized, taken TO a nearby barn
and hung from the rafters.
The bodies were cut down about 3
o'clock today.
CHARGED WITH MURDER.
, There was little excitement during the
lynching.
Those lynched were j. B: Miller, Of
Fort Worth. Texas; B. B. Burrell OF
Duncan, Okla; Jesse West, Of Canadian.
Tex. and. Joe Allen. of Canadian, Tex.
West and Allen were well-to-do Texans
and large cattle owners.
The men were held on a charge Of com
rlicity in the murder of former United
States Marshal A. A. Bobbitt, near Ada
last February. Bobbitt was shot from
ambush on his way home. An examining
trial of the four prisoners was held last
Thursday, but no indictment was ever
returned.
WAS A BAD MAN"
Miller. one OF the victims leaves
WIDOW OF Fort Worth. He had killed six
men in his time and was ''chum' of the
late Pat Garrett, the famous man-munter,
and was with Garrett when he was killed
at Las Cruces.
The mob was composed OF many of the
prominent citizens of the city and only
few wore masks. The authorities were
powerless to prevent the lynching, as the
early hour placed them at a disadvantage.
The entire formation of the mob and
lynching which followed was performed
in the most methodical manner.
FEELING VERY INTENSE.
So intense was the feeling during the
preliminary hearing Of the men that
Judge Brown prohibited the publication
of evidence. Burrell was nephew of
Miller and turned states evidence against
Miller and told of complete plans of West
and Allen to murder Bobbitt, longtime
enemy of both. No arrests Of the lynchers
has been made.

subject of Lecture by DR.. Dedrick on
Tuesday Evening.
A most interesting address was that
Of Dr. Thomas S. Dedrick, Of Wash
ington, before the Mems club of the
South Street Presbyterian church on
Tuesday evening. DR.. Dedrick told
of his experiences while on a dash to
the North pole with Commander
Peary in 1907 and the talk was illustra-
ted with stereopticon views.
DR.. Dedrick told how he was denied
food and the necessities Of life by
Peary's order and how heliyed with the
Esquimos, who were simple and kind
hearted people. There are no chiefs
or rulers among them and they live,
said the speaker an ideal life nearer to
the communistic plan than any other
known race.
DR.. DERRICK explained several ques-
tions which were favorable to DIR.
Cook S statement of finding the pole
"A map showing DR., Cooks route was
thrown upon the screen and the speak
er said the reason DR.. Cook was 50
long in getting back was because of
the ice flows which had carried him
westward far from his course.
9 1t was perilous return Journey"
said DR.. DERRICK, land for a year DR..
Cook was obliged to share in common
with the Eskimos. He had TO hunt
with primitive weapons such as they
used. AS to his leaving in the Arctic
the instruments and the copies of the
records made there | believe he did a
wise thing In fighting his way to
northern Greeland he was obliged to
cross dangerous ice passages and one
slip and his instruments and records
might have been lost forever. They
were too valuable to risk in the jour
ney to Etah. =
