MANY. MEN THERE
LARGE AUDIENCES GREETED
RELIGIOUS SPEAKERS.
WOmen's Meeting Was Held This
Morning with Address by Rev.
DR.. shsid0n-Program for
Other Meetings.


About 400 men were at the Luth-
eran church Friday evening at open
session of the Men and Religion
Movement. Rev. DR.. Charles M,
Sheldon was the principal speaker
and made an exceedingly helpful
talk. He also addressed the insti-
tute this morning, sisxty attending,
and churchill of women at III
O'Clock.
DR.. Sheldon Is a model Of sim
plicity. His addresses dealt largely
with the practical aspects Of the So
cial message of Jesus Christ. IT'LL
izing the dramatic and social In
stincts in religion, avoiding dupli-
cation OF church effort. cooperation
between organized religious agen-
cies, the blessedness of youth, the
sacredness of our physical powers
and the scanctity and obligations of
the home were among the themes
treated. A not unwelcome curiosity
OF many Abilene people to see and
hear the author of "In His Steps
has been gratified.
Rev. e. e. Stauffer of Lawrence
was also a speaker at last nights
meeting and made a fine address.
He demonstrated his familiarity with
boys. 1t is clearly shown that
neither the home nor the church is
fully awake to the possibilities of
boy life. Mr.. Stauffer's testimony
concerning work with boys, based
on recent successful experience, was
listened to with deep Interest
throughout. Numerpus questions
growing out of the evening address
were answered at the morning in
stitute session in a manner showing
that the speaker has made more
than a passing study Of the sub
ject. The Scout movement was de-
fined. Certain books in the public
library were publicly commended tc
the men having relations with boys
Real ''boySmen" are scarce and those
who attended the sessions insist that
Mr.. Stauffer is one of them.
Large audiences are assured fol-
the meetings Sunday. This after
noon E. w. Rankin. and e. S. Petty
john of Topeka addressed good aud
fences.

GROSS NEGLECT OF BUTy
INCLUDED IN OSBORN'S
CHARGES AGAINST SHIELDS
Governor Gives Out Specific
Allegations Against Tax
Commissioner
HE CITES DETROIT FIRMS
Says Property In Various Parts
of State Is Grossly Under
Assessed
HE CITES DETROIT FIRMS

LANSING, Mich, June l5.-In his
charges against Tax CommissSner
Robert II. Shields, of Houghton, which
he makes public today. Gov, Osborn
says: Certain Irregularities in your
conduct as member OF the boaH OF
tax commissioners have been brought
to my attention, which, il substantial
ed will indicate that You have been
guilty of gross neglect OF duty, OF cor
rupt conduct and OF malteasance and
misfeasance in such office. You are
therefore required TO appear before
me at the executive ONCE, June 20,
and answer To the charges.
The executive charges that Shields
did not require a member of the tax
commission TO visit each county once
a year and that each county has not
been visited by one member OF the
board from 1904 TO 1911 He Is also
charged with failure TO determine the
actual cash value of the taxable prop
erty In each county of the state
Gov. Osborn alleges that although
possessed of full authority and power
OF review, the records OF the tax COM
mission show hundreds of instances
where corporate property is grossly
under-assessed and taxed at but
small percentage of the true cash
value OF. the corporations.
AS evidence of Shields alleged
failure TO levy proper assessments
the governor cites about 20 Lansing
corporations, including the REQ Mo-
tor Car Co., and also Detroit manu-
featuring concerns, including the Ford
Motor Car Co.. Packard Automobile
Co, Acme White Lead works, Parke,
Davis & Co.. and the Russell Wheel
& Foundry Co.
The American Carving & Manufac-
turing Co., of Grand Rapids, is the
only Kent county concern mentioned
in the list.
II is also alleged that from March
6, 1906, to and including June 4, 1912,
the tax commission should have held
3s regular meetings. II is claimed
that the board held % meetings in
that length Of time and that Shields
was absent from II. The governor
also claims that Shields absented
himself from meetings OF the board
of review when the statute required
HIS presence.
You have treated the work OF
your office merely as an incident TO
your private business, and have mere
" devoted thereto only sufficient
amount Of time TO make an ostensible
