To the Trustee in the Bank.
ruptcy Case of J. G. Shaw,
Says Judge Dayton.

Federal Judge Aston G. Dayton
has handed down decision in the
bankruptcy case OF ]. G. Shaw
trading as the Clarksburg News. The
case came up here on certificate
from Referee w. Frank Stout, COW
ering certain proceedings and a judg-
ment enterd by the referee against
George A. Murray, defaulting pur-
chaser of property belonging to tho
bankrupt, which was afterwards re-
sold to the trustee, Carl w. Neff.
The order holds that the referee was
without jurisdiction to enter said
judgment, which is vacated and set
aside. The court further holds that
George A. Murray is liable to the
trustee. for the difference between his
bid and the price realized at the re-
SALE. and the referee is required to
certify to the court the amount OF
this difference. A written opinion
of the court previously entered,
being contrary to this ruling, is va
Gated and withdrawn.

Birthday in a New Way

in a Scotch university, he was sent as
special evangelist by the Church Of
Scotland to the Shetland islands, and
for several years preached in all parts
OF Great Britain.
At Ballater he addressed King Ed
ward Wis guard of honor, including
Lord Knollys and many notable men.
Dunring the world-famous Welsh
revival he spoke nightly to audiences
Of 5000 in the Music hall, Aberdeen.
He is now contributor to the new
International Bible Encyclopedia. OF
which DIR. James Orr, OF Glasgow uni
versity, is editor.
That he is man Of rare platform
gifts may be judged by the fact that
he succeeded Dr. Edward A. Steiner,
the lyceum star. friend OF Tolstoi, and
author OF "The Trail Of the Immi-
grant" and other works OF national
popularity. He has now held the same
charge for FIVE years.
For three successive seasons DR..
Evans has lectured at the largest
Chautauqua assembly in Ohio, in such
big company as Hills, Com
we'll, Gunsauius, and others as we'll
known. His first extended lyceum
season was such success-one OF the
greatest in the long history OF the
bureau-that he has been induced to
give UP his church in the near future,
and will then devote his time exclus-
lively to lecturing and to literary pur-
suits. No man on the platform today
is in greater demand.

NOTE is ALREADY SENT
Document is Practically an Ul-
timatum but Does Not Con-
tain a Time Limit.

WASHINGTON, April 19-Presl-
dent Wilson has sent the note to

resentatives Flood and Cooper, rank
Ing Democratic and Republican mem
bors Of the congressional foreign af-
fairs committee, at conference at
the White House early today.
The president explained that the
note practically is an ultimatum but
does not contain time limit. A de-
mand is made, however, that Ger
many reply Immediately.
As the committeeman left the
White House they made no effort to
conceal what the president had told
them.
The president made plain, how
ever, that If Germany still cares to
conduct It's submarine warfare in ac-

WILSON TELLS CONGRESS
JUST WHAT is BEING DONE
HAWKINS'S SERMONS
ARE FAITH BUILDERS
With All His Themes the Deep
Fundamental Things of the
Word of God.

The protracted meeting continues
ut the Central Christian church with
preaching by the Rev. Mr.. Hawkins.
The sermons are of high order. Mr..
Hawkins's themes are the deep funda-
mental things of the Word OF God
and are plain, pointed, strong presen-
tations of gospel truth. His sermons
are the more striking because OF the
absence OF the cheap stories so con-
spicuous in the preaching Of many
popular evangelists.
The evangellst's subject last even
ing was "The Word of God" He en-
phasized the timeliness fthe theme
by calling attention to the many evil
dences Of skeptical attitude toward
the Bible, not only by those who are
out OF all church relationship, but by
many In the church itself. In force
full and logical manner, he argued
that the Bible Is the Word of God !;
first, because It claims to be the word
OF God: second, because OF its age,
certain portions of 1t being the Oldest
literature in existence; third. be-
cause Of its subject matter: 1t tells
of the creation of the world, of the
creation Of man, his fall, redemption
and destiny-just such facts as we
would expect the Creator to address
to the men whom he had made:
fourth, because of its unity and har-
mony: 1t was written by forty dit-
ferent authors, scattered over a per-
iod of time embracing fifteen hundred
years, by peasants and kings, ignor-
ant and learned, and yet there is such
wonderful harmony and unity run
ming through the whole of the book
as to argue most forcefully its COM
mon origin-God; fifth, because OF its
durability: the battles the Bible has
fought in its own defense. against
Paganism and ratiolalism and de-
structive criticism and many other
foes, and the glorious victories that
have been achieved, argue for its di-
vine origin; sixth, the influence OF
the Bible wherever it has been taught
and believed was made the fitting
climax of this sermon on Christian ev-
licences. The transformation Of the
South Sea Islands in single genera
tion and the changes in social and
political conditions in all pagan lands
where it has been to any considerable
extent accepted aptly illustrate its
Transforming power.
In concluding the evangelist de-
clared that the Bible was written Ell
ther by God or the devil; good an
gels or bad angels; good men or bad
men, as these embrace all existing
intelligence. The devil couldn't have
written it because it points the devil
as diabolical character. Bad angels
couldn't have written it for they are
his servants. Bad men couldn't have
written it because 1t condemns the
way Of the wicked and exalts right
eousness.
If the good wrote IL they would not
falsify concerning the sources OF their
information and the character of the
book.
Since every consideration precludes
the possibility of the wicked having
written it, we are forced to the con-
elusion that 1t is what 1t claims to
be-God's Word-addressed to man.
"The Son of God" is the subject for
tonight.

does not preclude discharge on writ
CT habeas corpus.
Discharge of such writ, OF a per-
son presenting n writ OF error to a
judgment refusing him an appeal
from the judgment under which he Is
legally restrained OF his liberty,
terminates the controversy involved
in the writ error, and 1t will be dis
missed on such discharge, as then
involving only moot case.
A person under conviction OF a
criminal offense by a justice OF the
peace Is entitled to an appeal within
n reasonable time, as matter Of
right.
Such an appeal should be allowed
by the justice who rendered the judg-
ment, IL applied for within reason
able time, and, IL he refuses 1t, ap-
plication therefor may be made to
the circuit court of the county, or
the judge thereof in vacation.
Refusal OF the justict to allow
such an appeal ssufficient cause for
allowance thereof by such court or
udge, and refusal thereof by the lat
ter, under such circumstances, justi-
fies a writ of error from this court
to the judgement OF refusal.
A doubt arising on the evidence as
to whether such preliminary appli-
cation was made to the Justice should
be resolved in favored OF the appli-
cant for the appeal.
