Days Of This Week.

= DR.. George A. Joplin, General Sec.
retary of the Kentucky Sunday
School Association, arrived in Lou
lisa on Saturday morning last and
Immediately began the work for
/ which he had come, the holding of
a Sunday School Institute for Law
renee county. Field Worker w. j..
! Vaughan, of Louisa, and State Sup
erintendent Mrs. Agnes L. Effort, of
Ashland, were present and ably as
sisted in the work. The institute
was opened in the M. E, Church,
where all it's sessions were held.
Sunday was very busy day in
the cause. DR.. Joplin's first visit
was to the Sunday School of the NJ.
10. Church South, where he spoke
about quarter of an hour. He then
went to the Baptist Sunday School.
where he delivered short address.
His next appointment was at the

M. Il. Church at 1O:30, when he de-
liyered splendid sermon. There
was meeting in the afternoon and
evening at the Baptist and NJ E.
Church respectively, with interest
Ing addresses by Mr.. Vaughan, DR..
Joplin and Mrs. Effort.
In place of the usual morning SER
mon at the M. &. Church South a
most interesting address was made
by Field Worker Vaughan. Mr..
Vaughan is well known throughout
Kentucky as an able and eloquent
speaker in the Sunday School cause,
and on this occasion he made
most instructive address, listened
to by large and appreciative audi
enoe with the closest attention. Mr..
Vaughan knows the indoor and out
door work in the Sunday School

the State, perhaps better, and he
tells in most delightful way what

General Secretary of the State or
he is the right man in
the right place.

Washing gton, d. c., May 11.-Details
of the killing of c. D. Hoadley, an
American, and G. E. Williams, Brit
ish subject, at Guadalajara, was trans
mitted to the state department today
through the British embassy. The dis
patch says Hoadley and Williams were
stabbed to death and horribly multi
ated by enraged Mexicans at Ell Favor
mine, after the foreign staff in charge
of the mines had endeavored to search
native laborers to trace silver bars
stolen from the mines. The foreign
ers were attacked while the search
was in progress, and Hoadley and
Williams gave up their coins, believ-
ing they would be spared. Both were
Immediately stabbed to death. Other
foreigners we're jailed, but released.
Torreon, Mex, May "details of
the murder of James Beard. one of the
most prominent Americans in this part
of Mexico, have been received from
Theodore Hamm, consul at Durango.
Beard was murdered by order of
General Benjamin Argumedo, who
one of Huerta's volunteer
columns, made up almost entirely of
former Orozco soldiers. When General
Velasco retreated from Torreon Argu-
medo was with him, but detached his
later and occupied Parras.
His first act, according to witnesses,
was to ask if there were any Ameri
cans in the town. He was informed
that Beard was the only one. Argu-
medo then sent a file of soldiers to
bring Beard before him. Beard pro-
duced reputable witnesses to prove
that he had never taken part in the
internal troubles of the country and
also produced his papers as a citizen
Of the United States. Argumedo took
The papers from him and threw them
IN his face.
Take him out and shoot him." he
said TO the officer. Beard was taken
out on the road and his body filled
with bullets. AS an additional def
ince Argumedo laid Boards citizen
ship papers on his breast and they
we're found there with the body.

MEXICAN MISSION
WORKERS ARRIVE
Thirty Representatives of Meth
odist Church Among Refu-
gees Reaching Border.

New York, May 1.-THE anxiety OF
the board of foreign missions of the
Methodist Episcopal church concern
ing its workers in the interior of Mex
leo has been set at rest by a telegram
received from DR.. John w. Butler stat
ing that all of the 80 Methodist mis-
sIonaries except one have reached New
Orleans.
The one remaining in Mexico is Miss
Laura Temple of the Woman's society,
who has affiliated herself with the Red
Cross service in Mexico City.
The fight OF the refugees Is de-
scribed in a letter received from DR..
Levi p. Salmans. superintendent OF
"The Good Samaritan" hospital at Gu
anaiuato. He writes: "Huerta ran us
of without allowing US TO bring away
more than a suit case apiece. We were
not certain until aboard ship OF the
American navy that we would be al
lowed to bring any money out OF the
country. We are therefore without a
change OF clothes, and almost without
funds.

New York. May 1.-THE announce
ment that Charles Becker will take
the witness stand in his own behalf in
his trial for the murder OF Herman
Rosenthal is perhaps the most impor-
tant development in the case thus far.
II Becker can give a good, straightfor-
ward story to the jury. If he can go
unfiinching through the ordeal OF
cross-examination. It is agreed that his
chances of acquittal will be vastly
benefited.
The Becker OF today Is a different
man from the Becker who sat in his
seat at the first trial. Where before
he was boldly defiant, he now seems
resigned. Where before he threw off
a current of strength and confidence
he now seems passive and Indifferent.
His jaw is still as firm as ever; his
eyes till keep their level glance; he
still has his smile to draw upon. But
his smile seems forced. his eyes look
as If they would wander il he did not
hold them steady, and his jaw as If
it would relax did he not set it hard.
On the whole the impression he
gives is not one of weakness. for only
one glance is needed to see that he is
still the strong man that made him a
power in the police department; it is
as if with strength unimpaired he has
come to realize the peril of the battle
he is fighting, but has become apa-
thatic

instigating the murder by four gun
men of Gambler Herman Rosenthal,

District Attorney Whitman in no way

the state does offer will be held as a
surprise. Whitman's speech was with
