Herrick, of Wheaton, Ills, thought they ehard a report of gun and the hole left in the window appeared as if it might have been made by a bullet. Finding of a stone on the observation platform later and failure to find a bullet caused the shooting theory to be vir- tually abandoned.
 Earlier in the day. at Greensburg, Ind, man had yelled from the crowd that Landrith ought to die' At Fort Wayne, Landrith saw several men peering at him through the window of his compartment and one of them said: There he is now" He was un- decided tonight whether to accept the stone theory. J. Frank Hanly, the presidential nominee, who was in a drawing room of the observation car when it was struck. was convinced that only a stone had been hurled
 Landrith was sitting with his back to the window when it was struck Suddenly Mrs. Stewart, who was fac ing the window. saw a man step out into the track behind the moving train Almost simultaneously a report was heard and something, probably a piece of jagged plate glass, the size of a nickel later found 15 feet from the two passengers, whizzed past their ears.

MANUFACTURE OF PAPER
 FROM HEMP HURDS Says to Be Possible by Specialists of Department of Agriculture.

Washington, Oct. 16.-Specialists of the department of Agriculture are con- vinced that a satisfactory quality of book paper can be made from hemp hurds, the waste stalk fragments pro- duced in preparing hemp fiber for the market.
 A report on the subject issued to- day, says that commercial tests made in cooperation with a paper manufac- turere demonstrated that hurds can be reduced chemically to paper stock by the soda process under practices only slightly different from those employed for the manufacture ot pulp from pop lar wood. Somewhat more bleach as well as beating was necessary.
 At present about five thousand tons of nurds are produced from hemp grown in Ohio. Indiana, Wisconsin and California. This is not sufficient the report states to justify the erection of 9 pulp mill or the transportation to existing mills, but the view is ex- pressed that the time may come, owing to the increasing cost of wood pulp and the increasing acreage of hemp grown in this country, when the use of hurds in the paper making in- dustry will be profitable.

 T think indeed. it might be said,' MT. Hughes asserted, that the pres ent administration has been in large measure an administration of unOffi- cial spUkesmen, of mysterious influ- ences.
 nor that I desire government through two houses and not three.''
 MT. Hughes assaiIed the administra- tion more vigorously than he has done before for the enactment of the AdamsOn law, declaring that it was 'un-American and absolutely without Justification ever to surrender either legislative or executive powers to the demand of force, either by capital or labor" and declared that the plain people of this country should rebulle the administration for its surrender to force"
 President Wi,.su'a reference to 'un- shackled busncsa," made :n the same hall on the presidents recent visit here, was answered with the declara- ton that there had been no "clarihca- ion of the antitrust act" and by the nominees assertion that he was amazed at any such claim as there had been put forward"
 The administration Mexican policy was cited as answer to the declara- ton that the country had been kept put of war. The charge that a vote for Hughes meant a vote for war was characterized as "a rnonstrosity''
 What MT. Hughes characterized as the administrations weak and vacil- lating policy" was attacked.
 Some one told me today" Mir Hughes said, "and it seems at times to be the case, that the motto of the present administration is that a prob lem avoided is a problem solved''
 The nominee faced Q house that gave him a three minute cheer of welcome. Every seat was taken and all the standing room in the rear of the hall was crowded many deep.

New Wording of
 Marriage Service
BY MINORITY REPORT AT P. E,
 GENERAL CONVENTION
ELIMINATES WORD OBEY
The House of Deputies Referred Back to the Commission on Prayerbooks All Proposed Changes in the Mar riage Ceremony.

St. Louis. Mo-. Oct. discrimination of the word "obey" in the promise of the woman in the marriage service was recommended in a minority re- port of the joint commission on com mon prayer submitted to the house of deputies of the Protestant Episcopal general convention here today.
 The house of deputies referred back to the commission on prayer book all proposed changes in the marriage ceremony, in the catechism and in the institution of clerSymen.
 These questions cannot come before the general convention again for three years.
 Minority Recommendation.
 The minority report recommended that the present injunction beginning Wilt thou obey him and serve him. be changed to Wilt thou love him, comfort him, honor and keep him, in sickness and in health; and forsaking g all others, keep thee only unto him so long as ye shall Hve.''
 The minority report suggested also the omission the words Hand with all my worldly goods I thee endow'' in the service. An argument advanced was that the expression "endOW" is a relic of old English law, under which the dover rights of women were guar anteed and that today the question in volved is a civil one to be taken for granted. It also was proposed to ex- punge the expression as Isaac and Rebecca lived faithfully together etc, and merely say living faithfully together"
 Many regard the reference to those Biblical personages as out of date and declare that there is no reason why Isaac and his wife should be regarded as models when there were many oth- CT husbands and wives equally faith ful.
 Changes Suggested by Majority.
 Numbers of changes were suggested nthe majority report.
 Among them were the shortening of the Ten Commandments as read in the communion service; the elimina- tion of a, specific prayer for Jews and Turks, it being argued that the pres ent prayer for Jews and Turks in con nection with infidels is disrespectful and inaccurate. Sebecause it is clear 4ohammedans are meant instead of Turks"

 Establishment of a pension system for Protestant Episcopal clergymen seems assured. The Right Rev. Will liam Lawrence, bishop of Massachu- the two houses of the convention. Bishop Lawrence, who is leading a church campaign to raise $5.000,000 as a reserve for a pension system for the clergy, said two-thirds of this amount had been given in cash or in pledges of unquestioned validity.
