Jail This Morning.

Andrus Peterson, the insane man
who was being held at the police sta

this morning to the county Jail by
Sheriff Boyle. 1t is probable the man

at the earliest convenience OF that
body.
Peterson was more than pleased
when he emerged from the bull pen
at the police station this morning. He
spoke cordially to everyone in sight,
and there was quite crowd of visit
tors at the headquarters this morn
Ing, too. He seemed to know all of
them and wanted to be on friendly
terms with everyone.
He has been about the county at
various towns and villages giving the
people some alarm before he finally
hit Fargo and was taken into custody
here. At Kragnes he tried to xiii
himself, 1t is said, with butcher
knife. The people were quite anxious
about him and started him out into
the country to get work. He hailed
farmer driving on a country road
and was driven right back to Krag-
mes, where the people were seriously
alarmed lest he should do himself
bodily harm.
Peterson is well dressed, is about
35 years of age. has good counter.

LONG AND SHORT
 HAUL DISCUSSED
Manufacturers Association Hears Railroad Men on the
 Subject

For the purpose of discussing the oper' ations and technicalities of the long and short haul of freight on railroads the Merchants and Manufacturers asso- clation held an informal conference yes terday afternoon with the representatives from the traffic departments of practi- cally all the lines entering this city.
 A call was issued for the meeting by IT. w. Coffin, president of the Mer- chants and Manufacturers association, to the members and railroad men that the latter might present their interpre- tation of the long and short haul ard it's effects upon freight rates should the interstate commerce commission rule thai it should go into effect.
 MT. Coffin acted as chairman Of the meeting and several talks were made by the railroad men relative to the bear ings of the question and the results in freight schedules and rates. The most detailed treatment of the subject from the railroad standpoint was given by Lincoln Green of the Southern railroad. Being a meeting especially for the edu- cative benefits and information to be gathered, the merchants and manufac- turers present were not reticent In ask ing questions concerning matter that most vitally effects their business and an open discussion, pro and con, was en- tered into.
 The conference had no official intent whatever, and was solely for the hear ing of arguments of the feasibility of the long and short haul from the men, who could speak authortatively from the viewpoint of the railroads carrying traf- fife from Birmingham.

175 HAVE ACCEPTED

It was agreed that in order to have everything proceed without a hitch, all those who have not signified their intention of attending by Friday noon must not come to the, club Friday night with the expectation of being ad- mitted to the dinner, as no provision would be made for unlisted guests.

RICHMOND PLACE HAS
 NOT CALLED PASTOR
Resignation of the Rev. J. A. Beal Was Unexpected-ChOOse Sue
 cess0r With Deliberati0n

The matter of calling a pastor for the Richmond Place Baptist church is as yet undecided, as the former pastor, the Rev J. A. Beal, who left for his new charge in Greensboro. Ala, last Friday to that place and no recommendations have yet been made to the church mem bers for his successor. The nomination of new minister will be made to the congregation by two of the deacons, F. R. Darden and J. G. Edwards, who have been appointed as committee to secure candidates for this pulpit.
 The departure of Rev. Beal from the Richmond Place Baptist church is great 1y regretted by his former pastorate as the present church was erected during his stay here He was called to Birming- ham by the Richmond congregation soon after their organization to build their chapel on Twelfth street and Avenue I, about year and a half ago. and was at that time just graduated from the Baptist seminary of Louisville, Ky. His years efforts in the local field have been most successful. the church membership increasing from 42 to 105 active workers under his charge. The church was a mission station of the South Highland bdpllSl ClluICH WASH Ao oiilNSub out 10 now in its own chapel, which is steadily growing. His energy was untiring in the upbuilding of his congregation and he possessed many friends beyond the cir cles of his own church.
 Rev. and Mrs. Beal removed to Greens boro last Friday afternoon with 8 lapse of only two weeks from the time the call from that town was extended.
 The matter of securing new pastor, 1t Is understood, will be gone about slow ly. as the church Is growing and the min. ister for tho Richmond Place pulpit will be chosen after much deliberation. The church received two unexpected presents yesterday. One from an unknown friend who sent 50 Excel song books and the other from tho Standard oil company, which contributed two oil heaters and 10 gallons of oil for heating purposes.
 With the acceptance of the Greensboro call by the Rev. Beal. there are two Baptist pulpits of this city vacant. The other Is the Ruhama Baptist church of East Lake. whose pastor left several weeks ago for San Antonio.
