the knottiest cases which has ever
confronted the local police force has
been unraveled with the arrest of

of brass from the Milwaukee railroad.

brass, but On addition put an entire
string of freight cars out OF commits

ing to the belief of the police. Admis-
sions obtained from the culprit's pal

V. Cannon. On the night OF June q
a string OF freight cars was shunted
onto a side track back OF the glucose
works, in order to make room for the
equipment of the WallaceHagenbeck
circus, which arrived the following
day. When the trainmen abandoned
the cars, a thief stole the brasses out
OF the axle boxes, II pieces in all. De-
tectives Schluetter and Boettcher were
assigned to the case and after a care
full investigation placed Smith under
arrest. Then they located Smiths pal,
Earl Cox, and after the latter had been
"sweated," he told the authorities Of

into a sack and take them in boat

Tuesday the police searched the island

learned that his pal had peached, he
attempted to get revenge by telling
the police that Cox had stolen two

up with the railroad officials, but a
check of various shipments failed to
disclose any shortage. AS a result,
Cox has been released.

CHURCHES UNITED
TO INVADE MEXICO
Five Protestant Denominations
Ready to Undertake Joint
Campaign.

New York. July 23.-That the Pro-
testant denominations have united to
present a common front in religious
and educational work in Mexico was
announced today by Bishop w. F. Old
ham, chairman of the general commit
tee representing the various mission
boards.
AS the result of conference, It has
been agreed to combine under the
name of 1.-THE Evangelical church"
work in Mexico that has heretofore
been carried on Independently by the
Methodist Episcopal, Baptist. Presby-
terrain, Disciple and Congregational
boards. The united churches will aim
to secure 1.-The earliest possible evan
gelization OF tie entire Mexican ma
ton"
The plan includes a more extensive
educational program than has ever be-
| fore been known in Mexico. A great
, co-educational university will be es-
| tablished, II the plan of the cooperat-
ing boards are carried through. At
least one high school for each OF the

arts shall be taught will be establish
ed in connection with all organized
congregations. The mission territory
will be readjusted so that no state will
be without religious and educational
| effort.
Bishop Oldham, in commenting upon
the agreements reached in the confer
ence, said:
1.-THE outcome almost staggers be-
lief. 1t gives rich promise of that rap
idly approaching day when the divided
forces of evangelical Christianity shall
federate and cooperate in such close
sympathy as to present practically
one front throughout the world"
