COPE LIBEL CASE.
Started i'm Federal Court to Decide
About That 100000.

Kansas City, Jan. 2S.--Attorneys
outlined the libel suit OF Mrs Garrle
E Cope of Topeka against BlsnoP
David H. Moore of lndianapons ana
Mrs. George Robinson of Detroit IN
the federal court on the Kansas sac
before Judge Pollock
Mrs Cope says that, as secretary OF
the Kansas conference OF the women ;
Home Missionary society OF the
Methodist Episcopal church, she re
ceived the bequest of $4,000 of Mrs;
Fannie Murray of Atkinson, VINO dleo
in 1905, to the society. The trustees
first refused to give her the money
because the society was not 1ncorpor-
ated. In order to get 1T the society
was first incorporated as the women
Home Missionary society of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church of the Kansas
conference. 1t seems that didn't suit
the trustees, so Mrs. Cope incorpor-
ated again and added the Methodist
Episcopal to the Kansas conference
The money then was given, to be used
in work among the Pottawatom1e IN
dams.
Bishop Moore alleges that the in
corporation was not authorized by the
parent society When the parent con-
Germ asked for the money it was re-
fused. The bishop is said to have
written a letter to Mrs. Robinson,
president of the society, stating that
he thought she never would see
cent of the money. 1t is alleged
copy of this was sent to the trustees
of the bequest. Now the bishop and
Mrs. Robinson are being sued for
$4,000 each.
Kansas City, Jan. 2S.-A jury has
been obtained in the trial of the libel
suit brought against Bishop David H.
Moore of the Methodist Episcopal
church of Cincinnati and Mrs. George
C. Robinson of Detroit, president of
the Womens Home Missionary socf-
ETY. of the church, by Mrs. Carrie Cope
of Topeka, Kan. Each defendant is
sued for $4,000 damages and the case
is being heard in the federal court of
Kansas City, Kan.
The suit grew out of bequest of
$1,000 left to Kansas home missions
by Mrs. Fanny Murray of Atchison
Two Methodist societies
claimed the fund. Mrs. Cope obtained
part of the money and the other So
ciety sued her. Bishop Moore was
appointed by the conference to inves-
tigate the controversy.
Mrs. Cope charges that in letter
to Mrs. Robinson, Bishop Moore made
that injured her standing
in the church and in the community.
She charges that the statements were
libelous and that Mrs. Robinson be-
came a party to the libel when she
sent copies of the letter to national
of the church.

1T MAKES TAFT TIRED.
President Thinks the Word "Pro-
gressive'' Is Oyefworlxed.


Washington. Jan. 2s.-"In our work.
aday politics one gets just a little bit
tired of the use of the term progress
sive by gentlemen who work no prog
ress except for platform purposes, and
SO when we meet a man who has made
progress for the people, such as we
are all seeking, he is entitled to our
respect
That was President Taft's tribute to
Sir Horace Plunkett. member of the
English parliament and originator of
the scheme of agricultural competitive
finance in Ireland, at a banquet here
of the Southern Commercial congress.
I'VE once thought in this country"
the president continued, that we could
not learn anything about agriculture
from countries on the other side. Now
We have reached a point where we can
calculate that unless we do something
to improve agriculture we will have
to import what we eat and be depend
ent on other countries
