His Idea Adopted.

Mr.. Sleman attended the Nashville con-
vention of the student volunteer conven-
ton in 1905. He conceived the idea of
an Organization Of laymen which should
adopt modern business methods in adj
vancing the missionary work in foreign
fields. The centennial OF the famous
haystack prayer meeting, which was
celebrated in the Fifth Avenue Presby-
terrain Church OF New York city, No
vember. 1906, gave the occasion for the
formal adoption OF Mr.. Semans plan
for the organization of the Laymen's
missionary movement. 1t proposed to in
vestigate the fields at first hand. to
devise an adequate policy for meeting the
big problem OF world evangelization and
to awaken the latent energy of American
business men In executing the task.

SCOUR COUNTRY IN Vain
FOR RAILWAY BANDITS
Camps of Tramps Searched
Without Result for Those
Who Held Up Train.

ERIE, Pa. July 1.-Posses that have
been securing the country in search of
the band of hold-up men that last night
attempted to rob train Al on the Phil
adelphia and Erie branch of the Penn
sylvania lines began to return to this
city early tonight. and all but the rail-
road detectives have practically given up
the search. confident that the bandits
have successfully eluded their pursuers
and made their escape.
Early today the police picked up two
tramps in the railroad yards and kept
them at the police station for a few
hours, when they were released. They
gave the names Of James Carroll and
Walter Mooney. Several of the pas
sengers of the train who had given the
police descriptions of the bandits were
summoned to identify Mooney and Car
roll, but all declared the bandits they
saw were Italians.
Trail Of Blood Found.
During a search about the vicinity OF
the wreck some of the railroad detectives
found bloodstains at the side of the
track, and thin trail led down into a
gully through which the bandits are
thought to have escaped. 1t was re-
ported that a foreigner with bullet
wound in his wrist was seen in the city
early this morning. but detectives have
been una BILE to find him or to verify the
report.
That the bandits knew of a prospective
booty on the train the police are con-
f1dent. There was $4,000 in the baggage
car that had been gathered at the vari-
Erie branch and was being brought here
for deposit in the Marine National Bank.
Officials Of the railroad company are ret
icent on this point, however, and will not
deny that such sum was aboard the
train.
c. H. Block, the mail clerk, and James
Hart, the baggage master, who were
wounded by the bullets of the despera-
does. are in a hospital here and will re-
cover.
Railroad detectives have been sent here
from other points on the Pennsylvania
lines, and are continuing the search. Late
today an investigation was made Of the
many camps OF tramps in this section
without result.
Dynamite Sticks Found.
Detectives exploring the vicinity of the
scene of the hold-up found tonight two
sticks of dynamite that had been hidden
beneath a tree. They were wrapped in a
Polish newspaper dated March II. 1911.
The dynamite was that manufactured
by the Aetna Powder Company of Gin
cnnati. Ohio.
Farmers living about Four-Mile creek
which flows by the scene Of the hold-up
have reported that strange men had been
seen prowling about for several days.
Mrs: F. J. Aman tonight told the de-
tectives that a foreigner passed her home
about daybreak this morning limping as
though badly wounded. It is thought
that that he was one of the bandits.

STANDARD WANTS CONTROL
OF RICH OSAGE LANDS

Tulsa, Okla, Jan. 2.-Following the
recent move by the Oklahoma Oil Pro
ducers naming a committee to appoint
a second confer with Secretary Balm
ger in an effort to open up the oil and
gas holdings of the Usage Indians in
Usage county, comprising some $780,
900 acres of the best oil lands in the
mid-continent field, comes the persist
ent but unconfirmed report that the
Standard Oil company will enter into
the fight
From all that can be learned in oil
circles Saturday night 1t is definitely
understood that the Standard will,
within few days, take the subject up
with Secretary Ballinger with a pro-
posal along the following lines:
The Standard will pay the osages
and those inter-married into the tribe
IS, 100000 in cash and give them 1,000,-
900 acres of land in old Mexico for a
fifty-year lease on their holdings in
Usage county. Among other stipula,
tions which will be made, it is said
will be a provision for the transaction
of tribe and family relations both ways
The going after the Usage holdings
by the Independent producers through
their association, and the rumored
contemplated offer by the Standard
is causing an over-plus of excitement
among members of the tribe. The
Usage county newspapers are taking
lup the fight started by the action OF
the producers organization and de
nounce the move.
