SUNDAY PAPERS
ARE CONDEMNED
1t is Charged BY Methodist Confer
ence That Comics Detract From
Interest in Sunday School.

PADUCAH,, KY, Nov. 23.-With
The reading of the appointments Mon
day afternoon the Memphis Metho-
dist Conference adjourned to meet
next year in Memphis.
The conference went on record a.
being opposed to the manufacture and
sale of Intoxicating liquor.
The committee on spiritual interest
introduced a resolution placing ban
on Sunday newspapers and urging
the reading Of religious literature.
Reference to the Sunday paper
brought out a warm discussion, some
members favoring excluding this
feature of the resolutions. However,
the original resolution was unGni-
mously adopted and the Memphis
Conference is prohibited from further
reading of Sunday newspapers. Con
demnation of the funny sheets Of the
Sunday papers was just as red IN
point of bitterness as the coriico
themselves. 1t was charged that the
comics detracted from the interest Of
children in the Sunday school.

RESCUED FROM
MINE SHAFT
Men Caught in Workings of Mine
Which Caught Fire Are HOiSted
to Surface.

CANON CITY, Colo, Nov. 23.-
Miners caught in the workings of the
Fremont mine of the Colorado Fuel
and Iron Company, which took fire
in an underground mule stable late
Tuesday afternoon, are being hoisted
to the surface one by one, through
an air shaft, which offers the only
way of escape.
More than 100 have reached the
surface and mine officials declare
that all but two of the men have been
communicated with and are known
to be safe. 1t is hoped these two
also are safe.
The fire has been driven to the msin
haulage shaft by ventilating air cl,r-
rents, and the main shaft is now
burning fiercely. Many of the min
ers still underground have bratticed
themselves in chambers where the ali
is good and will lawait rescue parties
before attempting to reach the air
shaft.
The main passages are full Of
smoke, and they were ordered to wait
until the fan at the air shaft could
clear the passages before attempting
to escape.

No change whatever is apparent in
Banks demeanor, and his same all
of absolute indifference is noticeable.
He has inquired as to his mothers
condition, but this is the nearest APP
prOach he has made to a discussion
of the tragedy, with his family OF
those who call to see him, and he Is
likewise noncommunicative with his
fellow prisoners. The condition of
the young mans parents, it is report
ed, is far from improved, but, on the
contrary, is said to be growing stead
lily worse. Physicians are still in at
tendance upon them both.
Ed. Carney, Of Cincinnati, and
George Cross, OF Louisville, brother
and nephew respectively of Banks
victim, are at the Sebree farm and
will spend several days here looking
after the affairs of Mrs. Sebree.
s. V. Trimble, of Hopkinsville, who
was among the counsel for Mrs. Sc
bree in the celebrated will case, has
been retained to assist the prosecu-
ton, and James r. Mallory, his as
sOciate at law, is now the District
Commonwealth Attorney.

REVEALED BY TRAGEDY

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-Step by
step the trunk mystery by which AL
bent c. Caller, an almost unknown
French artist, was the victim, and
William Lewis, a former waiter, the
alleged slayer, unfolded Wednesday
in a manner to indicate that robbery
on the pant 70 Lewis was the motive
for the crime.
There are also hints of hidden
love affair aside from the romance of
Lewis, who Tilted Miss Ellen Enright.
a pretty trained nurse, on the day set
for their wedding, January 10, 1905
This added element of mystery is
supplied by the improved statement
that Caller was once married, but
separated from his wife about the
time he formed a friendship witt

INFLUENCED
TO SELL VOTES
Two Former Councilman IF Pitts
burg Must Go of Jail For Accept
ing Brides in Official Capacity.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 23.-Two
former Councilmen Of Pittsburg, by
a decision announced Monday by the
State Superior Court in this city,
must 90 to Jail for accepting brides
TO influence their votes as Council
men. The court sustained the con-
victions against NJ. f. Swift, Jr., and
A. V. Simon in the Allegheny Cir
cult Court, the former for receiving
ISL 10 for his vote in favor Of vacat-
ing city street and the latter for
accepting like bride for his vote
on the street ordinance and 500 for
his vote ona measure designating GER
tain banks as repositories for city
funds.
Simon also was convicted Of re-
eeiving 1925 for his vote on the banl
ordinance, but the conviction was set
aside Monday by the Superior Court.
The reversal ON this Indictment, how
ever, will not benefit Simon, as he
was given one sentence on the two
indictments by the lower court.
In the bank case against Simon
the court held that a question asked
John F. Klein, the alleged bribery
agent, by the defense should not have
been ruled out by the trial Judge. The
question was: "Did Won state Won
could make a bunch of money out OF
the banks that were turned down l.
you could, by your testimony or b.
other means, in this case and others
have the bank ordinances declared
illegal?"
The Superior Court holds that as
Klein, a confessed bribegiver, was the
principal witness in the ease, the
question was proper as test of hi
credibility.

BRAVERY Of
AN EMPLOYE
Prevented Burglars From Lootinq
Safe of Block Light Company in
Youngstown, Ohio.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, Nov. %
Sticking to the telephone which he
held in one hand while he shot al
three yeggs who were plugging at hin
through a window 20 feet away, Hen
y Curry, engineer for the Block Light
Company, Monday at midnight finally
succeeded in summOning the police
and preventing the burglars from
lOOting the cOmpany's safe.
The burglars gagged and bound
Englebert Amann, the Waterman, and
a battle between Curry and two of
the burglars, in which Curry shot
one of the trio, followed. They were
carrying away their wounded com
panion when they looked into the Of
fee window and saw Curry at the
telephone. Four shots were fired at
him, three fattening against the safe
a foot from his head, and the Other
just grazing it.
Some one had telephoned Satur-
day night to find out whether the pay
roll had been made up. The com
pany was suspicious and notified the
Waterman.
Amann was hit on the head with Il
revolver, but fought the three yeggs
for 60 feet along the shipping room
till they bested him. He was fright
fully wounded and is in serious
condition.
ThetwO men escaped, coming into
the heart of the city and taking an
owl trolley car west. They got off al
Mosier and were rushing along a lane
toward the Erie Railroad yards, re-
volvers in hand, when Policemen
'Calvey and Collins overpOwered them.
They had nitroglycerin and dynamite
caps and n bloody-handled revolver
in their possession. They gave their
names as Thomas Saxtonand Frank
Engle, and are believed to be mem
bers Of the gang which had been OPP
Grating Toledo and this vicinity. The
police have no trace of the third
man.

EXECUTION Of
DR.. CRIPPEN
Takes Place in Yard of Pent0nViIIe
Prison For the Murder of His Wife.
Belle EImOre.

LONDON, Nov. 23.-Dr. Hawley
Harvey Cippen was hanged at 9:02
Wednesday morning in the yard of
Pentonville prison for the murder OF
ibis wife, Belle Elmore.
Public Executioner Ellis of Roch
lale, who hanged a wife murderer at
Liverpool Tuesday, arrived in Lon
Ion Tuesday evening.
The scaffold was erected Tuesday.
a few tenements overlook the prison
yard, and to bar the tenants from .
glimpse of the tragedy, a big canvass
screen was put up before the gal
lows.
Only a small group of official wit
nsses attended, and every effort was
made to prevent morbid crowds from
gathering in the neighborhood.
The body will probably be buried in
quicklime in the prison yard. This is
the custom at Pentonville, although
not in all English prisons.
Father Carey, who has visited Grip
pen frequently, entered the prison at
s o'clock Tuesday evening to spend
the night with the condemned man
and to walk with DR.. Crippen to the
scaffold.
An evening paper caused much eX-
element by flooding the city with
placards that DR.. Crippen had made a
written confession. Every one in a
position to know, deny this.
Ethel Leneve said: 81 was the last
person to see DR.. Crippen, and so far
IS my knowledge extends he has not
made such a statement"
Ethel Leneve has booked passage
on the steamship Majestic which
sails from Southampton for New
York Thursday.

state Commerce Commission.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-The
shippers had their innings Monday in
the contest before the Interstate
Commerce Commission over the sus-
pended proposed increases in freight
rates on the Eastern trunk lines.
Their contention was that the ad-
vances were not justified and that the
real solution of the problem of meet
ing railroads needs for greater NET
income lay in the introduction OF
scientific principals in management
This was the burden of the whole
days proceedings, the only witness
for the railroads being President JOS
eph Ramsey of the Ann Arbor rail
road, former head of the Wabash
system, who defended the proposed
increases as vitality necessary in view
of the increased cost of operation
and materials. The hearing will con
tinue through the week and the com
mission will not be prepared to decide
the case, which involves an increased
tariff on several thousand articles OF
traffic, until well into next year.

Mr.. Brandies elected from them
that, under the application OF scien-
