BOARD RfSENTS
MALVERN CHARGES

Little Rock, August 19.-The peni-
Tertiary board feels aggrieved be-
cause Malvern newspapers charge
that the committee administered a
coat of whitewash to Warden Tinsley,
who was accused of having caused
the death of the Miller county con-
Wet, Lee Edwards, July %, by work
ing him when he was sick. The in
vestigation was thorough, made by
Secretary of State Hodges and Act
ing Governor Rodgers, and they re-
ported that there was nothing in the
charges of over-work or cruel treat
ment. But the officers declare they
have nothing to conceal and no pur-
pose of embarrassing" anyone, and
Mr.. Hodges has therefore asked for a
second investigation at the Malvern
camp, so that any one possessing fur
Their information on the subject may
be present and testify.

HINEM0N SAYS THE
FIGHT WILL BE FIERCE

Little Rock, August 14.-"There
can be no differences among us as to
the desirability of removing th9
blight and curse of the open saloon
from our great and growing common
wealth." declares Hon. John H. Hine-
mon, in an address to the friends Of
statewide prohibition. "Tle fight
will be fierce. 1t is an issue which
towers above all others. The saloons
will not give up without a bitter
struggle. The forces with which we
have to contend are powerful and will
have almost unlimited revenues at
their command The issue should be
met frankly and openly. There is no
need of harshness of act or utterance
nor should the spirit of intolerance be
anywhere manifest. Let US take up
the gage of battle with malice toward
none and charity for ALL but with the
fixed determination to join hands IN
one great and successful effort to re-
move this giant evil from the borders
of the state and to battle courageous
w for God and home and every fire
side. Let there be no encouragement
or hesitancy.'

INSURANCE C0MPA NIES
not READY FOR TRIAL

Little Rock, August 17.-Not all of
the insurance companies have yet re-
tanned attorneys to represent them IN

yet had time to prepare their de-

Two FellOwships Open

The Presbyterian board of home mis- slons announce two fellowships of $l0co each and expenses, the holders to go to Europe to study immigration at its cradle. and then to return to the United states to work at least three years for imrni- grants and their welfare at this end, under the direction of the board. One of the men selected will be sent te Poland and Russia for two years and the other to Italy and the Balkans for year and 8 half There will not be competitive ex- aminations, but consideration ofthe gen eral fitness of all candidates. Such can didates need not be Presbyterian minis ters, but must be men acceptable to Presbyterians, and to have had adequate training.
 The plan is a part of a thorough policy adopted by this and other home mission boards, concerning immigration, country church, and similar lines of Christian effort. Two years ago three volunteers went to southeastern Europe at their own cost, studied races and languages and have since assisted fin the conduct of Christian work for immigrants In America Their experience leads to the placing of the training of immigrant workers upon this thorough policy There are in Presbyterian seminaries about 150 men of European percentage. some of them of immigrant arrival, and 1t is as stunned that the fellowships will be se- cured from their number. Selection IS not, however, restricted to them.

V NJ. C. A. and Money

Charles S. Ward, the Y. M. c. A. money raiser, who failed to get s500,00o In l2 days for the London association, has re- turned home and entered upon money rais- in.- campaigns in western Pennsylvania cities. He is to continue this work un- til June, when he returns to England to enter upon campaigns in principal Eng fish cities. He will not change his whirl- wind methods either here or there. He has raised, by those methods, sl5,0O,OW in the past six years.
 The reason for the technical failure or the London effort, MT. Ward says, Is the narrow conception of the London associa- ton in the past and it's backwardness about meeting modern needs of young msn For example, he points out the Y. M. C. A. in England has no educational department. He also points out that 1t limits it's religious efforts. and is gov erneds by q conservative policy that is at least 50 years behind the times.
 MT. Ward says his mission to England was by no means a failure. He succeed ed in bringing broader gauged men into the London work; in, getting resolutions passed to adopt more up 10 date methods i; and in making a compact between Amer lean and British associations by which he feels sure one will influence the other more than it has done.

Men and Religion Congress

The Conservation congress, winding up the series of conventions of the Men and Religion movement is to be held in New York instead of in Washington. The dates. April 19 to 2ith, remain the same. Reason for the change was the belief that larger good would follow, both to larger city and to the country. Practically the same programme as had already been made out for Washington will be carried through in New York. President Taft will head the list of speakers. and the congress itself will terminate three months institute which has already start ed lu New York. A feature of the con- gress will be a parade. big enough, it Is expected, to impress even New York.
 Conventions just held, or to begin at once, include Baltimore, Indianapolis, Pittsburg, Newark, Birmingham, Toledo, Charleston and Washington. These are
 in the main division, with members of the general teams as speakers. Williams port and some other cities of its size are drafting into service their own experts. and. copying the general plan, are having conventions the equal of any in relative slze and interest. In all of the cities success has attended the meetings and in many of them expectations have been far surpassed, especially in the permanent effect. Social service continues to lead in public interest at the conventions.

EXPLAINS PETITION
 FILED BY THE POSTAL

New York, February 1o.-(Speeial.)- Edward J. Nally, vice president and gen. eral manager of the Postal Telegraph Cable company. being asked in regard to the new petition which has been filed by that company against the Western Union Telegraph company with the public ser vice commission of New York state at AL bany, said:
 'Ihe situation is somewhat astonishing. We filed almost exactly this same peti- ton about year and a half ago, Sep- tember 30, 1910. We demanded that the Western Union cease discriminating against us by charging us for words add ed to telegrams to indicate the point at ern Union to deliver in the towns which are not reached by our lines. The Vest ern Union in its answer admitted that 1t made that charge. Later it changed it's position and said that it did not charge for those words, but charged for the orig mai date of the message, something Which no telegraph company charges for Then the commission decided that the Western Union must not charge for the original date, etc. The Western Union thereupon changed its position again. and. While 1t obeys the order of the public service commission, and does not charge Tor the original date, etc, it has now com lheneed 10 charge for the words added at the point of transfer, the very thing we complained of in the beginning. There nave been three public hearings and seven printed priefs' and the proceedings have consumed nearly year and half. and now we are compelled to litigate the whole matter all over again on exactly the same poiht involved in the original complaint. ,' nosl remarkaoie still, the Western Union has still different rule on this s,hiaot Tn every other state, and in fact only re- gently changed it's rule in every other state and charges partly for the words added at the point of transfer and nartIv fo rthe place of origin, etc. These nar bolle curves of the Western Union and its shifting, inconsistent position taken rom time to time are somewhat bewil- dering, but l think we shall arrive in due time" "

aaI" monthly meetings of committees. For 90 years. or since it's organization, all of it's meetings have been held in New York Now one of the four principal meetings of the year is to be held in Chicago. Practically the full membership plans Co attend and most of the principal mem bers are to speak at meetings of men. preach on Sundays, and pay visits to Episcopal institutions. The event is 10 be made great one in all cities near Chicago.
 Congregationalists, Baptists, Disciples and Lutherans take their chief meetings to various cities. The Episcopal church does the same with its general convention Some others have long done so with their missionary meetings Now the Episcopal church gives way to that demand. In- surgency in religious bodies is held to be the cause, and a greater nationaliza- tion of missions to be one of the proba- ble results.
