by Telegraph TO The Tribune =,

Pittsburg, Aug. S.--The Rev. w Garnet
VIM, pastor of the First Christ Church
of this city, believes that the Lord should
be responsible for the board bill of a
minister. This fact became known to-day.
when the Rev. Mr.. VIM filed his obiec-
tons to an attachment against his salary.
The attachment had been obtained by Mrs
Dora Fowler, with whom the minister
boarded for several months. After she
got judgment she caused an execution to
be issued, and to-day a deputy sheriff at
tempted to serve it upon Lane f. ODon-
nell, treasurer and financial secretary of
the Rev. Mr.. Winn's church
No. said Mr.. VIM. when asked if he
did not think he was responsible for the
debt II believe that in the case of an
underpaid minister to take literally the

A PLEA FOR FREEDOM
Jailed Mathematician Says He
Has Made Great Discoveries

Kansas city, Aug. S.-Asserting that he
has made mathematical discoveries which
will have a sweeping influence on that
science. Michael Angelo McGinnis sorry
ing a ten-year sentence for forgery in the
Missouri penitentiary, has offered to de-
monStrate his discovery TO any Commits
Of mathemdtictans Governor Hadley may
designate IL a pardon will be considered
his just reward for success. His ccmmunj-
cation was sent TO the Governor through
DR.. D. ]. Simpson. of Clarksburg. Mo.
Among the discoveries claimed by Nc
Ginnis are: First, that for the general So
luton of an equation containing literal CO.
efficients, there also lies a general log
arithnic solution for its corresponding nu-
merical equation. thus establishing a gem
eral method for solving numerical equations
by logarithms. Second, that he has found
the exact ratio of the diameter Of d circle
to its circumference. Since the time of
Euclid the ratio has been supposed to be
3.14l6 plus, designated by the Greek letter
pi. McGinniS says he knows just what the
plus is. He says he has discovered the
exact root of all numbers and that i'm
perfect squares" will be no more Nc
Ginnis is descendant of John Napier, in
ventor Of the Napierian system of loga-
rithms, he says.
Il have known McGinnis for years. -
says Prof J. NJ, Greenwood, superintendent
of Kansas City schools. He taught
mathematics in a college at Wichita, Kan,
also in Southern Missouri. book of his
on algebra, written, I am told, during a
former term in prison, is a marvellous work.
But for his use of intoXicatin liquor this
man would be an international authority.
"Mathematicians never have been able
TO solve literal equations above the fourth
degree. McGinnis says he can work them
in the tenth. European mathematicians
say that they have proved 1t impossible to

DELEGATES I'M CAUCUSES
Conservatives Resolution Would
Obviate Primary Fight.

With the avowed intention of obyiatinG
+bc ir,Dending primary fight among the
Republicans in the 18th Assembly District
this fall certain members of the Conserva-
tive Club have proposed that the delegates
to the various conventions be chosen by
district caucuses
The fight has been precipitated by the
announcement of Assent lyman William NJ
Bennett, the district leader, that he would
be a candidate for the nomination for Con
gress to succeed Congressman Olcott. IhoSe
who are opposed to his ambition III this
direction had nothing to do except put W
an entirely separate ticket in opposition at
the primaries.
The Conservative Club faction appointed
a committee, consisting of ex-senator Mar
tin SAKE, Albert J. Berwin, w w Confield
S. Z. Japha and Henry ". Schloss, to pro-
pose their idea both to Assemblyman Ben
nett and Congressman Olcott. Their plan
is outlined in the following resolution;
Resolved, That we favor the passage Of
a resolution by the Assembly District Com
mttee for the holding of caucuseS by cleo
ton districts for the selection of delegates
for ali conventions and committees upon
the primary ticket.
The committees and delegates elected at
large shall be apportioned to each election
district in accordance with the Republican
vote for congressman aL inc last eIeclloH;
The County Committee delegation to be
printed in alphabetical order, with no name
at the head for executive member. and af-
ter the primary election The Assembly Dis
trict Committee shall elect from among its
members the leader for the ensuing year.
The Conservatives say they believe such
plan would cause less friction than a reg
uIar primary fight such as the district has
had almost yearly for seven or eight years.
1t would mean, however, that there would
be a house to-nouSe fight in every election
district in the Assembly district, with
much more uncertainty of the results.
AS Assemblyman Bennett is opposed by
many of the election district leaders. il is
thought he would have less chance under
the proposed plan than he would in a
straight fight at tho primaries.
