IN EUROPE DESCRIBED
Denomination Now Has 27, 900
in That Division, Says
Elder Conrad.

Elder l.. p. Conrad, superintendent of
the European division of the Seventh-day
Adventists, who for twenty-siX years has
been a missionary in Europe and Africa
and has been in a Russian prison because
of his religious teachings, gave an adj
dress at the Washington Foreign Mis-
sion Seminary yesterday. The majority
of the presidents of the union conference
Of the denomination in North America
were in attendance, as we'll as leading
surgeons from different parts of the coun-
try, officers Of the general conference, the
governing body, the faculty and students
of the seminary and many residents of
Takoma Park and the city.
When Elder Conrad went to Europe in
1886 there were not a thousand Seventh
day Adventists there, he reported. while
today there are more than $1,000 be-
levers.
Going back to the days of the Japanese
Russian war, the speaker gave a history
of the religious conditions in Russia as
relating to other believers than those in
the state church down to the present day.
He declared that the government is
growing Stricter and Stricter as to the
spreading of other doctrines than those Of
the state church. He stated that, not
withstanding this condition, the Seventh
day Adventist denomination is making
remarkable progress in that country.

Said to Have Tried to Swindle
Wealthy Farmers.

MINNEAPOLIS. September 21.-Police
of the Twin cities today are searching
for a gang of wire tappers," which, it
is alleged, with a week has attempted
to swindle three wealthy farmers out OF
5000 each by bets on "sure-thing'
horse races. The operations of the gang
did not become known until O. ]. Turner
of Grinnell, Iowa, told his story to de-
tectives at the solicitation of the cashier
Of a bank, who suspected something
wrong when asked to cash check for
5000.
Today officials of another bank told Of
two similar cases. On both occasions the
prospective victims were dissuaded from
withdrawing funds.
According to Turner. he was approach
ed by stranger while waiting for
train and was led to plant" where he
won some money. Later he was asked to
draw a check for 5000, with which to
bet on the races"

TO LOOK INTO MILK PRICES,
Federal Officers Will Start INQUIRY
in Chicago.

CHICAGO, September 21.-Federal Off
GERS today prepared to make an investi-
cation of charges made by farmers and
shippers that the price of milk in Chi
cago is controlled by a combination in
violation Of the Sherman law.
It became known today that United
States Attorney General Wickersham has
sanctioned the proposed investigation, and
it Is probable that witnesses will be sum-
moned to appear before the federal grand
jury when 1t meets October Z.
One point to be inquired into is why
the farmer receives but 3ls cents a quart
for his milk. while the consumer is re-
qurred to pay 8 cents a quart in Chicago.
The operations of the Illinois Milk Deal
ers' Association will. it is said, be another
object of careful scrutiny by the agents
Of the government.
