EXPECT SCHENCK'S
/, Church TO REUN|TE
Warning Factions to Reconcile
Now That Charges Against
Minister Are Sustained.

AfANASQUAN, Oct. 23.-It is be-
1feved here that the action of the
Eastern Methodist Protestant Con-
ference in sustaining the charges of
indiscretion against Rev Hallecl f.
Schenck, pastor of the Methodist
Church. will unite the factions in the
congregation.
Ever since the minister was charg-
ed month ago by four of his par
; ishioners with having held sixteen
'year-old Sarah Foreman on his lap
in discarded boxcar, the congrega-
ton has been divided. one faction
with the minister and the other sup
porting the four men who say they
followed and surprised him in the car,
What is believed will prove the
principal factor in reuniting the con-
gregation is a signed statement CIV
on out last night by Rev. Charles ID.
Sinkinson, president of the confer
ence and a member of the investi-
eating committee. sustaining the
charges against Rev. Mr.. Schenck
When Rev Mr.. Schenck was in
formed of the decision Of the com
mittee he made a statement where
in he reconciled himself to their find
ings and agreed to withdraw from
the ministry.
DR.. Sinkinson, commenting on the
affair last night, said: THE charges
IN themselves were not OF such seri-
Gus nature as the public would
imagine. The scandal appears to
have been the result of the attitude
assumed by Rev. Mr.. Schenck. He
placed his accuserS in such n position
that they had to defend their state
ments and put him on the defensive.
Had he admitted the facts when APP
preached he would probably have
Jared better. AS it is, am sorry
there Is no otner recourse"
To Omit Ministry.
Questioned whether Rev. Mr..
Schenck would be given another pas
torate by the conference. DR.. Sinkin-
son answered in the negative. ut
is best for all concerned that he take
up some other work." was the only
ttatement.
The report of the committee on in
vestigation reads:
Having visited Manasquan and
made thorough investigation of the
charges recently made through the
public press against Brother Halleck
Schenck we find that these reports
have been founded on indiscretions
OF BrOIner ScnencR winch ne FRANKLY
acknowledges, but which did not APP
pear as such to him at the time Such
as walking with, or riding with, or
riding upon the same car with one
OF the young ladies of his congrega-
ton, we believe all the rumors in
reference to this case to have grown
out of such indiscretions.

The statement OF Rev. Schenck FOL
lows:
After a long and prayerful con-

matter, and further, believing it for

however, the remarkable feature of the

Not for many years has such a low

purchase price represents IL saving of
some $4,000 oyer the prices Which have

For this condition The American

Well, who did promise?
Let us look into the matter fairly,
candidly. honestly. rather than like
unsportsmanike ten year old boys.
Scates said something along that line

And he was right
The Governor HAD evidence against

had not collected it; it had been sent
TO him by indignant people where the
gross abuse of law and decent citizen-
ship was going ON. lie had sufficient
evidence to promise conviction before
an unbiased body sitting on the case.
He had some other evidence but no
case SO complete.
The Governor gave the Legislature
the facts at hand and suggested to the
they deemed best, and he would fur
nish them with all the evidence that
came TO him
Immediately peanut politicians jump
cd up with the assertion that it was q
political framc-up. because a Demo-
cratic sheriff was the one in which the
best case had been made by citizens
complaining TO the Governor. They
demanded that other sheriffs be in
cluded in blanket resolve. The
amended into the Senate resolve pros
vision for investigation of sherifls
against when they had little or no re-
liable evidence and then they inso :
lently demanded of the Governor that
he furnish the evidence he did not
have.
The Sentinel, with the type of politi-
cal responsiveness adopted by Mr.. Pat
tangali in his open letter To the Editor
Of the kcnnebec journal last Monday
morning, insinuates that the Governor
is holding back evidence which Demo-
cratic politicians had demanded fov
effect.

county officials against whom it has

TO 5tide its evidence against or let
said official go free. In the Sagadahoe
case. where is Mr. Newbert's boaste
evidence? All that has come to the

lures service.
The Sentinel is very righteous in its
| wrath, when it is trying to put through
dirty political pretense to deceive the
public.

The Sleigh of tho Desert.

A corporal in the French army in
North Africa has devised peculiar
machine particularly adapted for trav-
cl over the sand wastes of the Sahr
ia. The machine is cross between
an automobile and an aeroplane. and
has been dubbed the sleigh of the
desert" The construction is very
light indeed. 1t is mounted on broad
tired pneumatic wheels. but is driven
by an aeroplane propeller. 1t is so
light and it's bearing surface is 50
great that it will ride over the sands
without sinking, leaping over light de-
pressions and climbing the steepest
sand dunes. There is decided adj
vantage in using an air propeller. for
then the drive of the machine is indie
pendent of its traction. In the loose
sand of the desert it would be rather
difficult to propel machine after the
manner Of an automobile. The pecu-
liar vehicle is named la Sauterelle,'
or the grasshopper, because of its Pc
culiar hopping flight over the irregu-
larities OF the desert.--Scientific Amer
