onism to applied Christianity. Mr.. Tot
ten then became editor of the Bow
man Citizen and talked to a larger
audience than he had when he was in
the pulpit. He made a vigorous cam
paign against the Phalen gang which
had furnished bad seed to the drouth
stricken farmers who mortgaged their
farms to buy it thru county bonds.
Totten defeated Phalen and Phalen
sought vengeance.
Totten had been out of the pulpit a
year when Phalen interests induced
the leading members of the Southwest
ern Association of Congregational
Churches to drop Totten's name from
the list of Congregational pastors in
that association. In 1915 Mr.. Totten
was reinstated and filled acceptably a
pastorate at Buxton. Then Mr.. Tot
ten retired from the active ministry
and took up public work. His name
was naturally dropped from the list
of active pastors. No charges were
made against him and he was not
"unfrocked" as the kept press has it.
Mr.. Totten still has the right to per-
form marriages and the other func-
tions of a Christian pastor. AS mat
ter Of fact according to the discipline
of the Congregational Church an as
sociation of ministers has no author
ity to "unfrock" minister. The pow
er Of ordination lies in the local
church which calls the other churches
of the neighborhood in for consulta-
tion and advice.
The editors who make these state
ments about Mr.. Totten know that
they are false. But they have their
orders to vilify the chairman of the
Board of Administration, who does
not yield to the will of Big Business,
so they proceed to repeat their vii
famous lies. George A. Totten is in
the fight to a finish and he will not
be Abandoned by the plain people for
whom he tolls and bears insults.

COMMUNICATION
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
Inasmuch as, Frank Streeter, reac-
tionary candidate for Lieut.. Governor,
has seen fit to libel me to the voters
of this state in the course Of his cam
paign talks, find it advisable to sub
NIT my military record for considera-
ton. Every statement made below is
absolutely correct and may be verified
by consulting the military records.
l enlisted December 18th 1917 at
Bismarck, N. D. in the U. S. Air Ser
vice. Stationed at jefferson Barracks,
Mo. from December 18th until Janu-
ary 5th, at Camp Custer, Mich. from
January 9Th until February 18th. Was
then sent to Baron Field, Fort Worth,
Texas. Studied radio with Royal Fly
ing Corps Of British Army two
months and when field was taken over
by our Air Service, was assigned as
instructor in radio and aerial obser-
vation work teaching cadets and off,
GERS. Was then sent to University of
Texas at Austin where I took four
months course in advanced radio and
aerial navigation for work on the
night bombing planes. Sent from Uni
versity to Camp Dick, Dallas Texas
where I took four weeks work in aer-
ial Gunnery. Armistice signed and stu
dents were given opportunity for dis
charge which accepted. Transferred
to Love Field, Dallas, Texas to await
discharge which I received February
18th 1919. My discharge reads "Char-
acter, Excellent. Services, Honest and
Faithful"
Mr., Sire ,:er for reasons fLst known
to himself, has declared upon several
occasions that I had registered as q
conscientious objector, that I was q
red radical and other charges equally
as false and which were designed for
no other purpose than to stir up hos
tility against me among the ex-ser-
vice men. IF Mr.. Streeter cares to
back up any Of his charges. shall be
glad to prove him liar in any man
ner he may choose.
Without making any specific charg-
es against Mr.. Streeter's character, I
might say that if current rurnor is
correct, he has quite sizable job on
his hands in clearing his own name.
"People who live in glass houses
should not throw stones"
In the interests Of fair play, I
trust that you will give this public
ity.

Farmer-Labor Candidate for
State Auditor.

pressed themselves favorably toward

to fear a food shortage. If it should
become necessary, food shipments to
the city could be brought across the
river at Poughkeepsie. they said,
avoiding the transharbor handling.

the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men stands ready to join them in
the strike upon the assumption that

by the marine workers would also
deprive the railroad workers of the
eight-hour day.

regular schedules tonight. Union
leaders declared there would be a
complete tie-up. but railroad officials
asserted traffic would be kept NOV
ing by non-union crews.

and then announced their intention
to advertise broadcast for engineers
and tugboat pilots licensed for New
York waters, Offering steady employ
ment. New men for permanent posi-
tions" will be sought 1t was stated.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-Stocks were subjected to additional price impair ment fn the first half of today's unset tied dealings, but rallied spiritedly later when demand loans eased to 6 Der cent and foreign exchange dis played increased firInness. It was generally assured that the further break of the morning resulted pri- marily from selling orders received in large volume from out of town over the holiday. Offerings of this charae- ter were more obvious than at any recent period and proceeded from greater apprehension respecting the attitude of the railway brotherhoods. The rally was led by and assumed most substantial proportions in oils and shippings. where extreme gains of 3 to 10 points were scored.
 Steels, equipments and motors also made up the greater part, if not all, of their losses, the extent ot their rebound ranging from to F points. Best quotations were recorded in the final hour, rumors then circulated on the stock exchange taking the form of a temporary settlement of differ ences between the railway workers and the government.
 Shorts were severely punished ln General Motors and Crucible Steel, the former regaining it's 91a points loss and an additional 312 points, while CrucEble retrieved all of its H. point decline. Sales amounted to 1,375,0 900 shares.

DENY CONTRACT ID THE MINORS
Big and Little Leagues to Work Under Status of
 Last Year

CHICAGO, Feb. 13.-The major and minor leagues decided at their joint meeting here today to continue to work under the same "gentlemen's agreement" which prevailed last year, with the exception that an arbitration board will be appointed to handle all disputes. This boapd will consist of two members, who shall include the chairman of the national commission, which position has not yet been filled, and one representative from the mi nor leagues. When this board is un' able to reach a decision a third ref cree, man not connected with any baseball organization, will be chosen to cast the deciding vote.
 The action taken at today's meet ing. however, is not final. The presi- dents Of the two major leagues told the committee from the minors that they would take up with the club own CTS the question of entering into aD agreement with them. The sentiment of the American league, it was said, was not to enter into written agree ment until after the Baltimore Federal league suit has been disposed Of.

 DANGER SIGNAL
Drop in Exchange and Threat Of Strike Make for More
 Cautious Buying

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-Bradstreets tomorrow will say:
 Cautionary signals displayed last week by the foreign exchange, money, securities, grain and provisions mar kets, later joined by the big primary lines of textiles, particularly cotton and woolen goods, are still in evidence and the area of country reporting con- servatism more manifest has widened somewhat. This is most perceptible in the large centers of the east and central west, in the former aided espe- cially by the disturbance to shipping and forwarding caused by after effects of the big storm of last week, and by the still prevailing influenza epidemic, and in the west by tighter money and the fears of a possible countrywide tie-up of traffic if the predicted strike of railway employees (maintenance Of way and shop workers) should occur. The uuieting down is still little in evi- dence in big consuming districts of the west and southwest, and IS not unanimous even in the east and cen tral west, as shown by the strength of demand and of prices noted in the big basic industries, such as iron and steel and lumber, in which buyers are bidding eagerly, in some cases it would seem wildly, for nearby and distant deliveries of nearly all kinds of pig iron, structural material, fin ished steel, hard and soft grades of lumber.
