SHOULDER BIG BURDEN
Methodists Take Up the EvangeIi-
zation of the World

Indianapolis, Oct. 3o.-Sanctioning
a campaign for the evangelization of
the world and accepting responsibility
for $50, 100000 people in heather
lands, and approving the finance
scheme adopted by the general con-
ference of the Methodist church at
st. Paul in May, 1912, the policy
committee of the national convention
of Methodist men made a tentative
report today. The report, which was
read by Bishop w. F. Mcdowell of
Chicago. declares that the laity shall
assume all responsibility on an equal
ity with the ministry for the success
of the church. 1t is asserted that the
church should ally itself with all
movements for civic Righteousness
As a means of carrying out the pro-
vision the committee recommended the
church should make an annual mini
mum gain of 10 per cent. in membership
in all local churches, that great stress
be placed on the development of the
youth and universal use of the every
member canvass and weekly collection

attacked the report for failure to con-
denim the liquor traffic. After a num-
Der of pleas that various activities of
the church be included in the report of
the policy committee had been made

ment and the committee began work on

He Brings an Injunction Suit

PETITION is REMARKABLE
Calls for the Ousting of Glynn

Prays for the Auditing of the
State Books.

New York, Oct. 30.-The conviction
of VIM Sulzer by the high court of
impeachment and his removal from
office as governor of New York was
thrown into the federal courts for
review today by William H. Moore, a
printer of this city. On a remarkable
petition Moore alleges that the con-
troll of the government of the state
of New York has passed from the
people to a small group of citizens and
that consequently New York is no
longer enjoying a republican form of
government as guaranteed by the fed
eral constitution.
Moore seeks to have the court en-
join Martin H. Glynn from exercising
any of the functions of governor,
prays for the restoration of the office
to Sulzer, attacks the assembly for ar
rogating to itself the power to convene
in extra ordinary session and pass ar
ticles of impeachment, and concludes
his petition with a prayer for an au-
dit of all the state books.
Members of the court of impeach-
ment, Governor Glynn, Attorney Cen
eral Carmody, Secretary of State May
and Sulzer himself are named as de-
PENDANTS. Why Sulzer was made de
PENDANT is not clear. Sulzer, engaged

MRS. STANTON DENIES
Says Mrs. Robinson Not w. I'll. NJ.
Candidate for President.

Mrs. George o. Robinson of Detroit
was not q candidate for reelection
as president of the Women's Home
Missionary society of the NJ E. church
at its national meeting in Washington,
according to a statement made today
by Mrs F. Stanton of Topeka. 1t was
recently reported that Mrs. Robinson
was defeated for the national preSi-
dency as an indirect result of the re-
cent litigation between Mrs Carrie
Cope of Topeka, Bishop Moore of In
dianapolis and Mrs. Robinson, in
which Mrs. Cope sought to recover
damages for alleged SANDER.
Mrs Robinson very plainly ana
kindly stated to the ladies Saturday
before the election of Monday that she
would not allow her name to be con-
sidered as president, that owing to her
husbands continued illness and his
urgent request, she felt it her duty
to give up the office said Mrs. Stan
ton. consequently, her name was
NOT presented at all for reelection,
and resolutions of regret were adopt
ed. Mrs Robinson distinctly stated
that she paid the expense of her libel
suit, but the convention voted to re-
imburse Bishop Moore for at least a
part of his expense for the reason that
ne has done so much for the Women's
Home Missionary society in gaining
such a decisive victory"

INCOME $4,000 A DAY
That Is What Son of AdoIphus
Busch VIII Have.

st. Louis, Oct. 3O.-Each of the
heirs of the estate of Adolphus Busch,
who according to the will are to have
shares of trust into which the estate
is to be formed, will have an annual
income of $4,000 a share, or more
than $1,000 day.
The son, August A. Busch, who sue
ceeds his father in the management of
the vast properties, is to have two
shares of the trust and his income con-
sequently will be $750,000 a year, or
more than $4,000 a day, minus the pro-
vision he is required to make for his
invalid brother, Carl.
These figures were made known today
by a high official of the Busch corpora
tim who refused to allow his name to
be used. According to this officer, the
income of the estate is estimated at
$4,000, 900. which is a per cent. return
on a valuation of $50. 000, 900. Expenses
of administration will reduce the net
income somewhat, but the total income
of each heir will approximate that stat
ed. The eight heirs are the widow and
the seven children.
