REV. D. 4. COOPER HEADS
BAPTIST MINISTERS
Elected President in Annual
Meeting of Conference Con-
vention May Meet Here.

President-The Rev. d. H.
Cooper.
vlce-President--The Rev. Fred
eric T. Galpin.
Secretary Treasurer-The Rev.
Il. A. Lankin.
Program Committee-The Revs.
n. T. Hafer, chairman; T. w.
Young and @. L. Wittet.
These are the new officers OF TIE
Detroit Baptist Ministers conference,
which held its annual election, Mon
day morning, In the Woodward-ave.
Baptist church. Thcre was only one
contest, that OF the presidency, the
Rev. +. i. Galpin, who was not pres
ent, being nominated. The choice of
Mr.. Cooper was practically unani.
nous. He Is one OF the most enthusi-
astic members OF the conference and
seldom misses a meeting. He Is pas
tor OF the Grand River-ave. Baptist
church. The new secretary-treasure
Mr.. Lankin, Is pastor of the Hudson
ave. Baptist church. He, also, has
been a regular attendant during the
past year
In spite OF the fact that the confer
ence voted, a week ago, to make no
effort to have the Northern Baptist
convention held In Detroit, next year,
II Is not unlikely that It will come,
just the same. The conference op-
posed its coming because of the poor
auditorium accommodations In De-
troit for holding large gatherings,
and, also, because Of the heavy ex-
pense involved In entertaining the
convention.
Since the vote was taken, q tele-
gram was received from the conven-
tion, now in session at Des Moines,
Ia, that 1t wanted to meet In Detroit
in 1913. In reply, the Rev. NJ. p.
Fixes, or behalf of the conference,
stated that the Detroit Baptists would
be pleased to entertain the convention
II Ut would be satisfied with the ac-
commodations and would agree to
bear the brunt OF the expenses In con-
nectlon with the convention.
The RevlG. l.. Wittet, who brought
the matter up. said he had reason to
believe that the convention would
willingly agree to the provisions
specified by the conference.
In the absence of the Rev. r. L.
Brady, pastor of the Second (color-
ed) Baptist church, who was to have
read paper on the Present condi-
ton and hope for the Negro in Amer
ica," the Rev. J.. G. Calder gave a
paper on "The Baptist hymn writer's
of America" He showed that Bap-
lists were the authors of many of the
popular hymns familiar to church;
goers of different denominations.
The Rev. G. @. Morse, pastor of the
Scotten-ave. Baptist church, and man
ager Of the baseball club organized,
last Monday. by the conference, re-
ported that the club had challenged
the Presbyterian and Methodist teams
and expected tnat schedule for the
three denominations would shortly be
arranged.

TOUCHES CHORD OF
PATHOS AND D0DGES JAIL

John Kaszablowski, OF No. 9S9 Pal
mer-ave.. touched the chord of pathos
so frequently, and to such good ad-
vantage, In Justice Stems court, Mon.
day, that his stern and determined
wife finally relented. and saved him
from going to Jail on a non-support
charge.
John, who prefers the shorter name
Of James Stewart, sent his wife 10
Buffalo, six months ago, with cash
capital of 40 cents. During the six
months he sent her one whole dollar
for the support OF herself and her
year-old babe.
She came here, Friday and search
ed Johns room while he was out, nnd
ing evidences that John was ieading
the gay life, including a photograph
of John, In affectionate pose with q
dashing young woman.
Then she swore out a warrant, and
Detectives Rick and Zielke locked
John up. He was sitting alone In his
room, coaxing the mellow strains OF
Home, Sweet Home" from an old
fiddle when they walked In, and he
used the incident to good effect In
police court when his wife, with fash
ing eyes, told the story OF his alleged
duplicity.
'T love my wife terrible" said John.
Judge, was thinking. OF my dear
wife even as was arrested. was
playing little tune in remembrance
of our once happy home"
But Mrs. John was obdurate. She
remembered that girls picture and
she remembered how small the dollar
looked, when her husband sent 1t to
her for six months support. She said
she would never take John back.
"Oh!" walled John, IF you would
see them bars that was behind since
Friday"
The wife softened somewhat. and
John quickly loud-perdalled on the
tremola about the jail. and the bars
and love and his undying faith.
He promised future good behavior,
and his wife held out her arms.
Justice Stein told them to report
June 10 whether Johns reformation
was complete.

revolts which the public once so often
experiences in its literature and
drama alike. The tremendous success
attained In the season just ended oy
the form of drama which has for
some years dominated our stage and
which during this same. season, feel
convinced, has reached its full effior-
escence, warrants me In prognosticat-
ing It's gradual decline In favor OF a
school practically forgotten.
refer to the romantic and historl-
cal drama. In other words, regard
the realistic school to have arrived al
/, most at the zenith Of It's perfection
during this last season, and having
thus arrived, 1t Is but logical that it
should, In due time, decline and give
place to a form Numerically opposed
to it--a form which in the course OF,
say, two or three years hence, will oc-
cupy the position of supremacy.
Such has been the history Of the
drama in times past, and what has
been, you may depend upon II, will
always be again. In drama and In lit
eratnre, as in life, things run in
cycles. II is the way Of the world
and II is the way OF art.
How much we will experience in this
transition movement during the COM
ing season remains yet to say, but
that we will, feel its influence is In
dubitable. We will. or course, have
the problem play. the playa dealing
with delicate and subtle matters Of
casuistry. the boss drama or that deal
ing with political corruption, the play
involving the new thought and the
modern outlook upon questions OF re-
ligion and morals. All these have
proved themselves to be rich material
for the dramatist.
We are reaching out ever and al
ways for something new and different,
and now we have attained a stage in
our development as theatergoers when
we will gladly welcome a renaissance
OF the romantic spirit--such tre-
mendous renaissance. In fact, as that
which Victor Hugo brought about in

BICYCLE THIEF MAKES
SAD MISTAKE; NABBED

Dldon Currier, IL years old, and re-
siding at No. So Fourth-ave., made
