Presidential Game of Golf.
President Taft likes his holiday
game of golf, and his Thanksgiving
day appetite is whetted by a journey
over the links in company with Secre-
tary of State Knox, Brigadier General
Clarence r. Edwards, or some other
official golfer of renown. From the
golf links the president, If he looks

Soon Learn to Cook Turkey.
Some of the foreign ambassadors
and ministers bring their own chief
coks to Washington with them, aaA
one of the first lessons which the
kitchen artist must learn is how to
cook turkey in American fashion. A
Washington story is that President
Arthur once broke a White House
rule and dined with European minis
ter who happened to be an intimate
personal friend, on Thanksgiving day.
Mr.. Arthur told his host that the tur-
key tasted as if it had been cooked
in the kitchen of a New England
housewife of unmiXed Plymouth de-
scent. He was told that it was cooked
by a man who had come from Aus
tria within three months and that he
had never cooked turkey before in
his life. This story is told in Wash"
ington as an example of the adapta-
bility of foreigners to Americas ways,
even to the ways of the kitchen.
There are comparatively few sena
tors and representatives in Washing.

STRANGER
Drops Into Mansfield With A
Large Fortune
For A Well Known Resident
Of That City
Mansfield News)

Benjamin Dupre, of 1862 West Fifth
street, is wondering over the sudden
appearance and the sudden disappear.
ance OF stranger who dropped in on
him Monday and claimed to be Louis
Dupre, cousin, who would put Mr..
Dupre in the way of getting $1,15S.65.
The stranger who is described as be-
ing about so years old, bald, wearing
glasses and black mustache, called
at the Dupre home and asked to see
Mr.. Dupre. He told Mrs Dupre he had
important business with her husband
and must see him personally. He was
directed to go to the Aultman &c Tay.
lor company plant where the husband
Is employed. The stranger lost no
time in finding Mr.. Dupre and intro
duced himself as Louis Dupre, a long
lost cousin. He explained that their
grandfather had left an estate in
France which they were to come into
possession of. He had the name of an
older brother of Mr.. Dupre whom he
claimed to know. The stranger called
Mrs. Dupre by telephone and told her.
ne had found the man he wanted and
that he would take dinner with them.
Mr.. Dupre brought his supposed
cousin home with him where he was
entertained. He drew roseate hues of
the fortune in France awaiting them
and told the family to be ready with.
in ten days to go abroad with him TO
claim the property in France. The
supposed Louis Dupre told a fairly
plausible story at first and had his
host about convinced he really was his
cousin. He stayed until about three
O'Clock but toward the last the strang-
er got badly tangled in the tales he
told, which led the family to doubt
his sincerity. The supposed cousin
said he would have TO go up town to
send telegram TO his son and daugh-
ter in Pittsburg SO Mr.. Dupre and his
daughter accompanied him. They got
separated and the supposed cousin has
not been seen since
What his object was in coming to
Mansfield Mr.. Dupre is unable to stu.
dy out. 1t was given out by the family
| that the stranger did not ask for any
money nor did he ask Benjamin Dupre
to sign any papers. He had been at
the Aultman & Taylor plant several
! times so the family think he learned
the name there. He may fhave sus-
pected that his story was not readi-
ly believed, though it is claimed he
was quite conversant with the town
from which Mr.. Dupre's ancestors
come. The family say all the stranger
got off of them was his dinner so they
feel they got off well. They are lit.
tie disappointed in not getting to take
the promised trip to Europe.

ChurChmen Allege The His
tory Is Faulty
Committee Is Appointed To
Make Investigation
PreSt. PeirCe OF Kenyon
Named On The Committee
cleveland Leader)


Episcopalians throughout the coun-
try are stirred up over what they term
are false teachings of certain histories
used in the public schools, with ref
erence to- the founding of the Angel
lean church. They claim these his
tories credit Henry VIII. and Edward
VI, of England, with the honor of
establishing their time-honored COM
munion.
A vigorous protest was made yes
terday, at the closing session of the
ninety-fourth annual convention of
the diocese of Ohio at Trinity Cathe-
( ,dral to the continuance of these al
legged false teachings. The clergymen
declared that grammar schools, high
schools, colleges and seminaries were
all guilty of authorizing text books
which contain error.
Rev. T. e. jenkins, rector of St.
Paul's parish, of Fremont, started the
discussion by offering a resolution,
asking the convention to appoint a
committee to investigate the entire
subject.
He asserted that public schools had
no> right to permit such text books to
be used, and that it was not right for
Episcopalians to remain silent when
deliberate falsehoods were being
taught about their historic church.
He said some of these histories had
been carelessly revised, no attention
being given to later authorities, and
it was high time for the church to
act in the matter. Dean Du Moulin
stated that there was movement
sweeping over the country among
Episcopalians to eliminate the mis-
statements from indicted text books.
The committee appointed to investi-
within the bounds of the diocese of
Ohio consisted of Dean Du Moulin,
chairman; Rev.L g.. Daniels, of Tole-
Go; President w. F. Pierce of Kenyon
College; Professor j. S. Moore, of
Adelbert College, and Ensign Brown
of Youngstown.
The contention of the Episcopalians
is that their church was founded by
the apostles in, Jerusalem, and that
the bishops were appointed in the
great centers then even as they are
now. They assert that prior to the
days of Henry VIII. the Church OF
England had submitted to the Church
of Rome only through the ruling class
es, and that the country as such had
never been dominated by papal au-
thority. Henry VIII. and Edward vi.
merely restored the Church of Eng
land to its original organization and
administration, they contend.
The convention closed at noon yes
terday The morning was given up
to routine business, including the ap-
pointment of committees. The stand
ing committee consists of Rev. s. N.
Watson, Rev. w. r. Breed, Rev. A. l..
Frazer, Rev. H. e. Cooke; lay men,
bers, Robert West, W. G. Mather,
Thomas, N. Sloane and M w. Young.
The convention will meet in Toledo
next year.
