SAYS HISTORY IS
UNFIT TEXT BOOK
Episcopalians Declare Prof. Bourne's
Work Distorts Facts-Want II
0usted From Schools.

because OF alleged perversion OF
facts by the historian. bourne, in the
text book, Modern and Medieval His
tory" used In the Detroit public
(, schools, the convention OF the diocese
Of Michigan, In Its closing session,
Thursday afternooifS In st. Pauls
chapel voted to appoint a comIpittee
10 quietly take up with the superin-
tendent OF schools, In Detroit, the un-
fitness of this book as text book"
The point especially objected to ny
the Episcopalians Is that Prof Bourne
says, "the creed OF the English church
was drawn up In 1547 and this creed
with slight alterations was to become
the 39 articles" statement which
brought from Dean Marquis the re-
mark that PROF. Bourne gave proof
OF having little or no acquaintance
with the facts"
Some startling and. unwelcome
figures were presented to the conven-
don by the committee on the state OF
the church. OF which Dean Marquis is
chairman. Statistics gathered the
past year, show that the gain In mem
bership during the past 10 years has
been very small, and that the increase
comes almost wholly from the rural
districts. In Detroit with its rapid In
crease In population the acquisition to
the Episcopal membership has been
almost nil. The report says:
The population OF Detroit has In
creased 10000 In ten years, the total
membership OF the city churches from
6.612 to 1904 or 1872. Ten years ago
the city had "a parishes and missions,
now II has 81. The diocese decade
ago had 60 parishes, 20 organized mis-
sions. and 20 unorganized missions.
Today II has So parishes, 3S organized
missions and Is unorganized missions.
q net gain OF 10 places OF worship OF
all sorts"
The good results in the rural dis.
triets were attributed by the commit
tee to the unfailing devotion and work
OF the Rev. w. s. Sayres, general mis-
sionary Of diocese.
The convention voted to increa-
Bishop Williams yearly salary from
$4,000 to $4,000. with residence pro-
vided and travelling expenses paid.
Although the bishops strong plea
made in his annual address, Wednes-
day, regarding o pension OF not less
than $700 per annum for clergy In SER
vice upwards of 25 years. was refer
ed back to the committee on canons,
to be acted upon next year. there
seems little question but that the mat

come part of the Comercial club.
IL this were done there would be a
sum of $500 available Immediately.
This sum is in the Commercial club
treasury. Mr.. Nagel was also of the
opinion that the committee should
have small sum to work on at the
present time, especially to defray ex-
penses at the committee sent to Des
Moines and for other incidentals.
Need Secretary at Once.
Frank LeBron, another of the
younger blood" made forceful plea
before the meeting for prompt action
in the securing of capable man as
secretary. He declared that the COM
mittee might go on for some time for
mulating plans and doing things and
that when the experienced city build
er comes to Keokuk there would be
many things that he would have to I'M
do
The remarks of Mr.. LeBron precipi-
tated discussion of this matter.
President Irwin of the Commercial
club said that the organization has
been in correspondence for some
time to secure man and had already
secured fifty applications, none of
whom were regarded as capable.
General Discussions.
1t seemed to be the prevailing opin-
ion that this secretary should be Sc
cured as soon as possible. Mr.. Craig
suggested that committee be appoint
ed to correspond with view to secur-
ing a man. A committee was later
appointed and is composed OF Wells
NJ. Irwin, A. E. Matless and d. A. Col
Her.
The discussion at the meeting was
participated in quite freely by nearly
everyone present, and some good sug-
gestions were made, showing that the
members of it have given Keokuk's
future considerable thought in the
past few months. Major Collins had
plan Of finance which had for its
basis frequent subscriptions from the
business men and property owners.
c. NJ Rich told of the manner in
which Beaumont. Texas, had been
built up and of one especial instance
Of that city's raising money, the meet
ing at which the campaign was launch
ed being attended by him, He declar-
ed that Keokuk has far more advan-
tages than Beaumont, which had only
oil to attract. There was also lively
discussion of the question of freight
rates.

Stetson's Uncle Toms Cabin.
Before the civil war, there was
hardly a plantation in the south but
boosted whipping post to which the
owners slaves were fastened while
being punished with the cruel whip.
To faithfully depict the actual scenes
in that part of the south with which
the story deals, Manager Washburn
uses in his production of Steason' s
Uncle Toms Cabin" which will be
the offering this evening at the Grand
opera house, a whipping post which
was in service On a Red River planta-
ton for many years prior to the re-
bellion. Its genuineness cannot be
disputed when one reads the affidavit
from the farmer-owner which Man
ager Washburn always carries and a
copy of which is on file in Louis

Acknowledged to be the leading emo

of the strongest roles OF her wonder

Frederic Arnold Hummer, the we'll
known magazine writer.
The leading critics have pronounc-
ed t"The Other Woman master
piece, and have unhesitatingly declar-
ed that in it, Miss Walsh has scored
another great success. That her new

to theatregoers generally, and espec-
tally to those who love the drama in

Should Issue Prospectus.

What was needed said the Judge is
the immediate issuance Of prospec-
tus, setting out the advantages of the
city and having illustrations. Getting
back to finances he suggested the
raising of $4,000 by subscription, sup
plemented by the same sum from the
city. He also Endorsed the articles of
incorporation of the Commercial club
and believed that the permanent or
ganization to be effected can save an
incorporation expense of $1,000 by
using these articles.
The first Of the so-called younger
blood" to express himself was B. B.
Hobbs. His suggestion was that sew
eral members Of the committee be
sent to Des Moines, Waterloo and 9th

the purpose of finding out just what

Dunlap's Plan.

John A. Dunlap suggested an organ
ization to buy and sell real estate.
That the people be allowed to take
out stock in the Incorporation to the
extent of $4,000 each year for three
years. This would permit the buying
of factory sites on business basis.
A tract of thirty acres could be pur-
chased when site was needed, ten
acres to be given to the factory and
the other twenty sold. He believed that
money in this manner could be raised
Immediately and the stock subscribed
for.
Judge Logan was not of the opinion
that the committee needed so much
money as had been talked of. He
supplemented this statement by de-
claring that 1t would not get 1t it
wanted. $4,000 year he thought
would be sufficient

tees were agreed upon. They were
appointed by Chairman Elder near

Preliminary Suggestions.
Before the above committees were
appointed many ideas were brought
out in the early discussion. The sug-
gestion was made that few rules be
drawn up to govern the action OF the
committee. J.. A. Hamill offered the
suggestion that the committee be
made an arm of the Commercial club,
which already has articles of incorpo-
ration.
Ira w. Wills moved that commit
tee of five on organization be appoint
ted and report back at the next meet
ing.
The bill which has been drafted to
present TO the legislature was read by
Mr.. Hollingsworth.
Monday night was set as the weekly
night of meeting of the committee.
Finance Talk.
The matter of finance probably
brought out more general discus
sion than anything else, and members
OF the committee suggested various
ways for future finance. Asaph Buck
asked how long it would be for the
return of this legislation of secured
Providing the law went into effect i'm
mediately, 1t would be month or

there would be no available city funds

that date.

that money should be raised from
the merchants.
