Methodists To Begin Big Financial Drive
Tomorrow For A SI4OOOO,OOO Fund

NEW YORK, Nay 17.-With their
~ goal s14O.0O0.OOO for human bet
terment. the greatest amount any de-
I nomination ever attempted TO raise In
the history OF the world. Methodist
Episcopal churches throughout the
United States will begin tomorrow q
spectacular one week intensive finan-
cial drive.
They are trying to achieve the
/ financial objects OF their Missionary
/ Centenary BY employing all the meth
DDS Of a Liberty loan campaign-
newspaper advertising and publicity,
bin boards, special pamphlets, dinners
and the rivalry between localities and
individual churches, each striving to
show an oversubscrIption-
I The country has been divided and
isubdivided into areas, conferences,
districts and sub-dist=lcts and the in
dividusl churches are also organized
into several units. To each division,
down to the individual churches a
definite quota has been assigned.
That the drive Is bound to be a
/ signal success is the deduction drawn
T bv leaders at Centenary headquarters
. here from a flood OF letters and tele-
grams showing about 1000 churches
already have exceeded their allotment
L and are pushing on for 100 percent
: over-sUbscription.
Teams OF workers carefully organ
lied and drilled by c. s. Ward, cam

fund activities, viii present the Cen
tenary message to every member OF
every church next week In each CITY
the teams viii meet together once a

reports and get new inspiration from
speeches AM music.
The movement is founded on the
belief that the world today Is at one
OF the crucial points OF its history,
and that the war has awakened man
kind, but left IL confused and likely
TO follow false prophets. and that a
remarkable opportunity for the play
Of either good or evil forces is open
in every land. In this crisis the lead
ers Of the movement declare Chris
tianity should take a strong stand
and make unusual efforts to supply
guidance.
But the work to be undertaken with
the Centenary fund will be largely OF
a most practical character. Among
the multitude OF enterprises decided
upon are the adoption Of u French
towns on the Chateau-Thierry battle
field for reconstruction. series OF

q: S. Searches for Slayers.

| At the direction of the State De-
5partment an intensive search is
being conducted for the assailants of
Lieuts. Cecil H. Connolly and Fred
Ierick B. Waterhouse, Army aviators,
whose bodies were found buried on
the Lower California coast
A report on the finding Of the two
ayiators' bodies reached the depart
ment some time ago, but officials re-
fused to comment on the announce
ment, made in San Diego by Maj. r.
IS. Bratton. that the officers were
killed by Mexicans.
Owing to the often expressed friend
ship of the Lower California admin
'istration of Gov. Cantu. it was consid-
cred in unofficial quarters here to-
might that the prospects of appre-
.hending the slayers of the Americans
were more hopeful than had the muir
|ders been committed in other por-
Itions of Mexico.

Report Telegraphed Here.

Maj. Bratton telegraphed a report
of his investigation, to the adjutant
general of the Army at Washington.
/ Full military honors were accorded
the airmen as, the caskets. draped
with the Stars and Stripes, were car
ried from the deck of the destroyer
to the municipal pier. Parents of both
iWaterhouse and Connolly were at the
dock to meet the destroyer when she
locked.
The body of Waterhouse will be
shipped to Weiser tomorrow after
noon for interment. Connolly will be
buried with military honors in the
post cemetery on Point Iona next
Tuesday.
Three brother airmen flew overhead

been murdered by two fishermen from
the Esperanza. Waterhouse was
stabbed to death, evidently while
asleep. Connolly was killed by a
terrific blow from some instrum emit
which fractured his skull. He also
was stabbed. The evidence shows the
motive evidently was robbery. The
Mexicans however. secured only a
few dollars.
Bodies Found by American.
After the murder the Mexicans
covered the bodies lightly with sand.
A few hours later, the morning of
September IL, to be exact, the bodies
were discovered by Capt. Jack Ross
81 the American schooner Trojan.
RosS discovery was directly due to
the fact that one arm of each of the
airmen was sticking up out of the
sand. The index finger of Connolly's
right hand had been severed. Water
houses hand and arm showed several
stab wounds.
Aware of Mexican customs con-
corning the dead, Capt. Ross did not
take the bodies aboard the Trojan
BIS report of the finding of the bodies
did not reach the Army intelligence
office at Nogales until three days
ed to that office. Richards found the
bodies September 81. Therefore Rich
ards will be paid the $1,000 reward
offered by the government for infor-
nation leading to the recovery of the
bodies and the airplane.
Immediately after tracing the MUIR
derers Mexican officials got in touch
with NJ: NIetzas. governor of the
southern district of Lower California
in whose territory the fishermen had
fed. The murder occurred in terri
tory under the Jurisdiction of Gov.
Cantu and the trial courts of the
northern district"

grave. The bodies had been dis
turbed, the skulls being found under
some brush about ten feet distant
from the bodies, The bodies were
then disinterred and the formal IN
quest started. There was absolutely
mo question that the bodies were those
of Connolly and Waterhouse."
The officers then told Of the party's
