Chicago Social Workers
Oppose Vice Segregation.

Social workers in Chicago and good
citizenship generally are jubilant over
the demonstration aroused by the vice
crusade. "Tremendousr' was Prof. Ora

gresationalIst's writer. He looks upon
the local stir, however, as merely part

gathering momentum. Still, the latter
fact need not diminish the pride Of the
Chicago awakening. At the last two
hearings of the city council committee
appointed to investigate and make rec
concentrations the council chamber was
filed all the time with eager listeners.
The CONGREGATIONAL Ministers meeting
was adjourned to attend In a body. At
times the chamber was like rally Of

men like Julius Rosenwald stood for
hours, intent listeners to the arguments
on segregation. A Des Molnes citizen
appeared to defend his city from I'M

OF a sister commonwealth that the great
metropolis should not set aside a plague
district to contaminate visiting youth.
The underworld was not unrepresented,
however. either on the floor or among
the spectators. For those who could

New Baptist Bible Appears.

Some interest is being manifested In
the new edition of the Bible issued by
the American Baptist Publication So
ciety. This was first undertaken in 1880,
when the American Bible Union was
organized for the purpose The most
noted scholars OF the Baptist denomina-
ton were engaged in the work, such as
John A. Broadus, Alvah Hovey, William
r. Harper. T. ]. Conant, H. B. Hackett
and 4. c. Rendrick. As death came
to these their places were taken by 9th
ers, and the work is now completed, af-
ter more than sixty years
st first the New Testament was pub
lished, and some books of the Old Tes-
lament. The object of this new work
is to reflect the Baptist interpretations
in certain particulars and to simplify the
language. When the word 'baptize"
appears, the word "Immerse" is placed
in brackets beside II. Obsolete Eliza
bethan words are eliminated, and those
in modern use substituted as far as con-
sistent with Interpretation. Instead Of
'leadeth' and 'loveth," lead" and
love appear.
Whether the new edition of the Bible
will come into use among Baptists is
problematical. 1t has been the expert
ence with new versions that the use of
them has been extended slowly.

Brussels, Nov. 30.-How soon mankind's
food will be limited to a tasteless powder
is the question which scientists are en-
deavoring to answer. The problem is due
to NJ. Effront, the distinguished Belgian
chemist, who. not being content with
having manufactured a substitute for
meat, composed Of the refuse food OBJ
tanned from hotels, &c, has now turned
his attention to the utilization of the
nourishing elements which form the basis
OF hay and forage.
NJ. Enrunts argument is that 1t is I'M
necessary that sheep and cattle should
transform these into the complex prod
uct, butchers meat. which is only of nu-
tritive use to man after II has been di-
gested and split up into its simple con-
stituents. Accordingly. the investigator
hopes to replace these animals by COM
posing a chemical food from the simple
elements Of pasturage. The composite
food has already been discovered, but
whether it is palatable has not yet been
made public. At any rate, NJ. Effront
confidently predicts that the food prob
lem will finally be solved by a cheap,
tasteless white powder Of immense nu-
tritive value.

Rev. DR.. Wilton Merle Smith. Of New
York, Just back from Japan and Korea,
and Methodist Bishop Harris, of Korea,
just now In America to attend the Meth
odist Foreign Board meeting. give direct.
ly opposite accounts OF Japanese inten-
lions toward Korean pastors. One de-
clares Japan to be guilty OF acts that are
blot upon her claim to civilization, and
says Christian prospects in Japan are
under a cloud. The other says Japan
has acted with high honor, and that
Christian prospects in the Far East were
never brighter

Korea were found TO be involved. In
deed. two Methodists were in the num-
Der, and even the name Of Bishop Harris
and some other Americans got mixed up.
The total number Of pastors arraigned
was 10, and few under 100 were con-
victed. The cases have been appealed.
The pastors were heads of some Of the
largest congregations in Korea
DR.. Smith. a leading New York pastor
and member OF the Presbyterian Foreign
Board. says the pastors were convicted
solely upon their own confessions, but
that these confessions, wrung from the
prisoners by torture, were afterward re-
pudiated by all He calls the convictions
gross miscarriages Of justice, a blot upon
Japan's national honor.
Bishop Harris natly contradicts all of
these reports To the Methodist minis
tiers of New York he personally and pub
licly stated. within a week, that Ameri-
can Methodists have no cause for fear
for the welfare Of Methodists in Korea
or OF any Christians there. He states
that the japanese government accident
ally discovered the plot and to its sur
prise discovered the part OF Christians

have some measure Of guilt, for he says
that. being found out, they must now
take their medicine.

of Korea to be high-minded and honor

an allowance, died, and that was cut off

Seoul, Korea. Nov. H.-The salient
feature OF to-day's sitting Of the court
trying the 1O6 Korean prisoners charged
with conspiring, in 1910 and 1911. against
Count TerauchPs life was the wholesale
retraction by Kimiljun OF the evidence he
had given at the former trieL He at that
time admitted that he desired war In
order to free Korea and that he desired
to kill Gov. Gen. TeTauchl, and impii-
Gated a number Of leaders. KimilJun
calmly asserted to-day that this was
tissue OF lies.
In explanation he said he was insane
during the last trial and had been driven
TO make the statements by the treatment
of the police.
At the conclusion OF an hours exami-
nation KimiIjun said he was sad when
the Independence of his country was
lost. but he believed It to be for the
best, because the former government
was bad. Kimiljun had been sentenced
at the first trial to seven years i'm
prisonment.
Six other prisoners also were examined
in the course Of the day. All of them
told the same story. retracting the con-
fessions they had made before the procu-
rator and asserting that they had been
tortured by the police.
The court endeavored to shake this
testimony by questions concerning the
time and place and other details The
judges permitted the widest latitude to
the defendants. some OF whom delivered
lengthy declamatiOns.
Seoul, Korea, Nov. 9.-The examina-
ton of the los Koreans charged with con-
spring against Count Terauchi. japanese

All of them fatty denied completely in
the conspiracy and also related stories
similar to those told by the other accused
who had been Intercepted as to torture
by the police and as to threats OF as
sault made to them by the procurator.
Three Of the accused declared that one
of the officials who had maltreated them
