HEARD FROM TWO MISSION FIELDS
Central Baptist Congregation Instructed On Foreign Work Rev. Dr. j. H. Franklin Told of Conditions in Africa Rev. Dr. w. F. Armstrong Spoke From the Field in Bur- nah.

Missionary news from two different fields was listened to with close atten- tion by two good sized congregations on Sunday at the Central Baptist church. In the morning Rev J. H. Franklin, D. D., foreign secretary of the American Baptist Foreign Mission ary society, was the speaker, telling of experiences in Africa, and in the even ing the field that was heard from was Burmah, through Rev. W. F. Arm strong, D. D..
 Visited the Dark Continent.
 Rev. Dr. Franklin, who not long ago was given the appointment to the office he now holds, gave an especially inter- eSting and instructive view of condi- tions in the Dark Continent. He had been one of commission appointed to determine whether the Baptists should open missions in the Soudan. In or der to arrive at an understanding of conditions, the commission made a thorough study of the Soudan and the Congo regions, visiting both, and com ing to the conclusion that it would be better to strengthen the Congo mis sions before undertaking any new ter ritory. His knowledge of conditions furnished material for much that was of absorbing interest for him to speak upon @''.
 On Work in Burmah.
 At the evening service the speaker was Rev. w. E. Armstrong of Burmah, and his address was on his experiences in mission work in that land. His field, he stated, is confined chiefly to the Indians, who are pouring into Burmah from India in large numbers One req son for this influx of Indians is the frequence of the famine in India, utter fly unknown in Burmah. There are two classes of people here, the Hindus and the Mohammedans. While the former listen to the gospel and follow the teachings of the missionary, the latter scern Christianity and refuse to have anything to do with it. When mis- sienary addresses gathering in the streets a group of Hindus will collect to listen to the discourse, while on tha outskirts a few Mohammedans may stop to sheer at the speaker and his theme The missionary Is inclined to feel that with so many Hindus willing f to be taught. it is useless to waste en- ergy. on the unresponsive and fierce

KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT AT WORCESTER.
Mrs. Fred TourteIlotte Called There by
 Sudden Death of Her Mother.

Called by the sudden death of her mother, which occurred Thursday as the result of an automobile accident, Mrs. Fred Tourtellotte of No. 54 Asylum street has gone to Worcester. Thursday afternoon Mrs. Charlotte Swett who resided at 27 Washusett street was killed when an automobile, in which she with her husband ana several others were riding crashed through a bridge railing and falling to the bottom of 15 foot embark ment turned turtle. Her husband, MT. Swett, who was driving the car was caught under it and when removed had to be taken to the hospital. where he is suffering from a broken rib on his left side, a deep four inch lacara- tion on his left arm and contusions of his back. The other two occupants of the car, Lincoln Swett the 13 year old son of Mir and Mrs. Swett, and Arthur Haywood, a friend of the fam lily, were hurled thirty feet through the air but with the exception of few bruises they escaped injury as they fell in a swamp. Mrs. Swett was pinned under the car and her back and left leg were broken. and her face was bruised and badly cut, MT Swett was placed aboard a passenger train, going from Fitchburg to Wor- cester, which was Jagged, and on the arrival of the train in that city, he was taken to the city hospital in the police ambulance. He was conscious all the time, but was suffering ex- treme pain. He could not tell how the accident happened but said that the party had been to Sterling, and hav- ing procured lunch, were on their way to Worcester The accident happened about 5.30 o'clock on Prescott street at the bridge over the Washacum brook, which is not far from the Ster- ling line and only 50 feet west of the Prescott crossing of the Worces- ter, Nashua and Portland division of the Boston & Maine railroad tracks. The place where the accident hap pened is near sharp curve and is ap- preached by a down grade on the road to Worcester. The two boys who were in the car said that 1t appeared that MT. Swett lost control of the car. which at first plowed along through the loose sand and gravel along the roadside, andswhen he threw
 over his steering wheel the car crash ed across the road, went through the fence and over the bank on the oth- CT side. There was no one in sight at the time and the two boys were
 unable to free either MT. or Mrs Swett as the body of the auto held them fast The boys both called for help and then the Haywood boy ran to a nearby farm while the Swett boy stayed at the scene of the acei-
 dent A number of people were soen
 at the scene of the wrecked car and offered their help wherever they were able.
 MT. Swett is the owner of a coaching business in Worcester. Mrs. EWett
 was 49 years of age and was Miss | Charlotte Lundgren of Worcester be- ] fore her marriage.

CONNECTICUT WoMEN's COLLEGE
 GETS ALEXANDER LAND.
Sale Has Been Made. Avoiding Con-
 dennnation Proceedings.

Deeds have been recorded In the New London town clerks office trans ferring two tracts of land in Water ford and New London from Frank J. Alexander to the Connecticut college for women. An order empowering Frank J. Alexander administrator of the estate of Harriet Alexander was filed at the same time
 While the price of the land Is not known exactly and none of the persons who knew would give any information, 1t is understood the consideration was something like S20,000.
 The trustees made an attempt to buy the land, but they claimed that the price asked was eXorbitant. Con demnation proceedings were then started under the power of eminent domain and the land appraised by a commission. An appeal was taken to the supreme court, which decided that the condemnation was not warranted on account of lack of sufficient effort to buy the property.

MohammeN> E In all Burmah there are but hal al of Christian Moham- medans. In spite of the years of work among these people and the very meagre results, yet today my greatest interest is in their conversion.
 For some years I felt that it was useless to bother with the Mohamme- dans, but remarkable experience led me to take up the work among them with real interest A Mohammedan convert came to me and while with me spoke at a street meeting. A local learned Mohammedan challenged him to a debate on the virtues of the Bible vs the Koran, Christianity vs. Moham- edanism, and the challenge was &C., cepted. However. shortly before the time for the debate my friend the con vert disappeared Later did not blame him greatly. for I found that the Ko- ran prescribes that a Mohammedan who abandons his religion shall be kill ed on sight. Upon his disappearance the Mohammedans desired me to take up the controversy, to which finally agreed
 Five Nights of Debating.
 For two weeks previous to the event studied the Koran, with which I had previously but the slightest acquaint- anee. and found it's faults and discrep- ancies. For five nighes debated with the Mohammedan from I until 12 o'clock in hall packed with several hundred spectators, while thousands were gathered outside the walls. At the close these fierce Mohammedans the close these fierce Mohammeda who would have taken my life at the slight est break, accepted my presence among them, credbting me with being a gen. tleman, and on account of my appar- ently great knowledge of their Koran scholar. With the interest which was aroused in me by this debate and the favorable impression which I was able to make secured my first hold on the Moiammedan.
 Need of Convert Mohammedans.
 The conversion of this vast people the Mohammedan. is necessity to the cause of peace and Christianity. Some day, unconyerted, they will be aroused and raise havoc with their neighboring countries, for, coupled with their nat urally fierce disposition, is the teaching of the Koran that one's greatest hope l for after life lies in death in battle.
