WILL OPPOSE MckINLAY.

Another DR.. Crum case is to be
brought before the Senate at next session
OF Congress. Residents of Georgetown,
the port of Washington, are up in arms
over the appointment by President
Taft of Whitefeld Mckinlay, negro,
as collector OF the port. He will sue
ceed Collector Nyman, a white man,
who has held the Office several years.
Agitation against the confirmation OF
Mckinlay will be headed by the George
town Citizens Association. The Citi-
zcns' Association adjourned for the
summer, to meet again next October.
Because OF the indignation against Nc
Kinlay's appointment, however, a call
ed meeting probably will be held next
week, ut which steps will be taken to
begin q campaign against McKinlay's s
confirmation.
At the called meeting of the associa-
ton plans will be made to contest Nc
Kinlay's confirmation by the Senate.
Senator TilIman, of South Carolina,
will be appealed to to hold up the con-
firmation. Mr.. Tillman successfully
fonght the confirmation of Crum, nomi'
mated to be collector Of the port OF
Charleston, S. G.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND RELIGION.

At the general assembly OF the
students in the Summer School in
Charlottesville yesterday, DR.. Henry
F. Cope, general secretary OF the Re
ligious Educational Association, said on
the question of religion in the public
schools:
We have come at an agreement
everywhere in this country that we
cannot have the formal, specific teach
ing OF religion in any public agencies
of education. We never will be able to
agree on any creed that would be salts
factory to all. We have no desire to
project ourselves into struggle SIM
liar to that now being waged in England:
The truth is, we know that no formal
instruction in creed, or in the Bible
either, would accomplish the religious
purpose. Saints are not made by IN
struction. If people are ignorant OF the
Bible, the blame must be laid, not on
the public schools, but on the churches
which have the duty Of teaching the
history and philosophy OF religion,
each in its own way to its own people.
If the people make absurd mistakes
about Biblical history, it is not because
the churches have not seriously under
taken their educational tasks, that
Sunday schools are not efficient and do
not have enough time nor sufficient
money for their work. Though the
public schools cannot teach the things
about which people differ in religion,
it can and must teach the things about
which we arc all agreed; that the right
life is the only safe and sane one; that
truth and goodness and honor are the
only ways OF living. 1t can and must
train to the hatred OF lie and the love
OF ones neighbor. Public schools are
effective religious agencies whenever
they train pupils the habits OF right
living, the right relations one to another,
to personal and social purity. They are
religious agencies as far rs they are
controlled by the ideal motive Of
making life richer and more truly
spiritual. The public school can come
into helpful cooperation with the
religious agencies. Together these two
forces, educational and religious, can
study the facts of their communities. "

inflicted by Charles Smith, of Clifford
station, was the substance Of the ver-
dict rendered last night by coroner's
jury. Smith will be sent to Towson
jail OH the charge OF murder to await
the action of the grand jury.
Smith, who gave himself up, told the
police that he killed Lathe to avenge
an attempted assault upon his wife. A
brothcr-in-law of the dead man, Ed
ward Higdon, declared that Smith had
shot the wrong man, and that he could
prove an albi for the dead man. He
added:
my brothcr-in-law did. not leave
home yesterday morning until $40
O'Clock. 1t is a good mile and half
down the tracks to Smiths home, and
he couldn't have gotten there and at
tempted to assault Mrs. Smith by the
time she says she was attacked. Ho
could not have been in the woods long
before Smith killed him, because he
had picked only about half pint OF
blackberries.

MURDERED FIVE CHILDREN.

A ragpicker named Joseph yester-
day confessed to the assassination
April 81, 1901, Of five children OF q
farmer named Briere, in the vicinity
of Chartres, France. The father Of
the children was found guilty OF the
murder and was sentenced to life i'm
prisonment, He died in prison.
The trial Of Briere attracted the at
tention of the whole OF France. Four
of his daughters, aged, respectively,
IA, II, 5, and 4, and his son, years
Of age, were found in bed one morn
ing stabbed and beaten to death. The
farmer was arrested and charged by
the police with the crime.
According to theory advanced by
the police to prove q motive for the
crime, Briere, who owned a small
farm near Cerancez. wished to marry
q woman Of considerable wealth. Cir
cumstantial evidence led to the con-
viction that the farmer considering his
family an incumbrance, murdered the
children in order to carry out the
plans.
Briere stoutly maintained his in
nocencc throughout the trial, and de-
clared that two tramps entered the
house during his absence and killed
the children. He added that he re-
turned while the murderers were rob-
bing the place, and that they attacked
him and left him for dead.
During the trial the Judge got down
from the bench, and gave loud cx-
preston to his opinion OF the guilt Of
the prisoner, while the spectators
shouted, Kill him! Kill himi'
