September 21.-After plan. ming a reformation of the retail shoe trade in the south and warfare on the interruptions merchant, the Southern Retail Shoe Dealers association conclud- ed their fall convention late this after noon and adjourned to meet in Nashville in the spring. In resolutions adopted "catch-penny'' sales methods, fake fire sales and the like were roundly de- nounced. Manufacturers came in for a share of censure because of the require ment that purchase be made several seasons in advance and because of slow shipments.
 As to styles, the dealers forecasted the abandonment of the high heels for women and the return to the button shoe with cloth top footwear predominating For men black feathers are gradually in- creasing in favor, it was agreed, with the passing of the tan colors not far distant. Butcher styles will be the most popular.
 The advisability of discontinuing the secret marking of sizes was discussed, but this did not meet with favor.

FORMER TREASURER HUSTON
CONVICTED.

James N. Huston, treasurer OF the
United States from 1889 to 1891, wa:
convicted last night together with Har-
vey M. Lewis, OF Cincinnati, o., and
Everett Duiour, of Washington, by a
Jury in the Criminal Court on indict-
ments charging the use OF the mails to
defraud in connection with the opera
ton OF the National Trust Company
and other concerns.
The trial lasted five weeks, but the
Jury was not out only few hours. The
maximum penalty for the offense is
two years Imprisonment and a fine
of $4,000. The three men indicted,
however, we're allowed to remain at
liberty last night on their bonds pend
ing the hearing OF motion for a new
trial, which will be made within few
days.
The trio were indicted January 8
last by the federal grand jury follow
ing a raid on the offices OF the Ma
tional Trust Company. which was in
corporated in Delaware, with capital
stock OF 81 100000 and, it is alleged,
guaranteed the stock Of other COM
panies on a commission basis. Tie
inspectors declared at the time that
they failed to find any material
funds to justify the guaranty asser-
tions.
The transactions of the. National
Trust Company were carried on mostly
by mail, and the fraud charge was
discovered by the postoffice inspecta-
tors, but not until many concerns
are alleged to have been yictimized
to the extent Of $40, 200, according
to Inspector Carter B. Keene, who has
aided Assistant United States Attorney
Huidekoper in laying the matter before
the grand jury.
Fifteen overt acts of use OF the mails
to detraud we're charged in the five
remaining indictments against Huston
and Lewis. Each indictment sets out
three letters sent through the mails TO
various persons in Ohio, Massachusetts,
New York, Rhode Island, Mortana,
California, Kentucky and New Jer-
sey, who had applied for agreements to
guarantee stocks, bonds and other se'
curities.

Wrecked beyond possibility OF future
service, the Mitchell lifeboat in which
Bobby" Leach planned 10 shoot the
Horseshoe Falls at Niagara, is lying on
the rocks OH the Canadian side Of the
river. n short distance below the foot OF
the cataract. Her stern is missing and
her bottom is all stove in.
Il am mighty glad | wasn't in her
when she made the dip" was the la
COMIC remark OF Leach when he saw
the wreck OF the little vessel circlIng
around The eddy below the falls,
bottom upward, yesterday afternoon.
The concensus of opinion is that the
Mitchell lifeboat was too big for the
Journey, though only 20 feet in length.
Nothing larger then ST ut oaken cask
will successfully withstand the jolts OF
such a trip, and good fortune must ac-
company even such contriyance over
the falls. In every particular the test
t,ip OF the Mitchell lifeboat was a
failure.

IMMERSION NOT SUBSTITUTED.

A movement to substitute INNER
sional baptism for the sprinkling
method now employed by the Presby-
terian Church in the United States was
approved in the report OF committee
to the Pittsburg, Pa, Presbytery yes
terday, but after a heated discussion
the idea was turned down.
Rev. DR.. d. S. Schaff, OF the West
ern Theological Seminary, chairman OF
the committee on bills and oyertures,
reported the recommendation that the
words "sprinkling and pouring" be
stricken from the Book OF Discipline
and the word "baptize" be substituted.
DR.. Schaff pointed out that the word
baptism" was from the Greek, mean
ing ito put under" and said that even
in Germany, where the Baptists had
no following and the question was not
an issue, the churches agreed on this
point
Rev. DIR. w. L. McEwan, pastor OF
the Third Presbyterian Church, OF
Pittsburg, cautioned against hurried
action on so important a matter and
declared that under the present arrange
ment member had the privilege OF
immersion. He added that only one
member ever expressed such desire to
him. and it was followed with debate
of the question that became heated.
Rev. John Royal Harris, OF the
Shady Avenue Church. said; i would
not and could notimmerse IN the name
OF the Trinity, and / would leave the
church first. "
Rev. c. S. George suggested that
those who desired the radical change
should be given "a clean bill OF health
and sent over to the Baptist Church. .
