CAPTAIN KID
 WAS NOT PIRATE

Boston, July 29.-Song and story are wrong. Captain Kidd was not a pirate and his fabled treasure does not exist Prfvateersman he was, but of good repute. His hanging as pirate and murderer on Execution Dock at London in 1701 were to sat isfy the political exigencies of the time.
 These are the findings of John IT. Edmonds, state archivist for Massa- chusetts, as announced in a lecture at the Old South Meeting house. Ar chivist Edmonds was discussing Lord Bellomont and the Pirates"
 .Bel1omont, he said, was appointed governor of New England in 1895 with special mission to suppress pi- racy.
 Before leaving England" MT. Ed mondS continued, s'he agreed with Captain William Kidd, a privateers- man of good repute from New York, to proceed against pirates in & ship called Adventure Galley, on a. mo- capture-no-pay' basis. The adven- turers included Captain Kidd, Robert the Earl of Oxford (the first Lord of the Admiralty the Earl of Rom ney and the Duke of Shrewsbury Secretaries of Stare). Bello1nont and the straw men, to whom the kings grant of treasure was latter made, did not contribute a cent"
 ''on September 6, 1896. with a crazy vessel and a crazier crew Cap Idlh hHId pTOGeeuSu OI1 HIS In1SSlOn, the archivist said. He picked up several pirates including "a Moorish ship of 200 tons and Bengal mer- chant of 500 tons, both having the French passes and being lawful prizes"
 He came to New York and then to Boston through the trickery of Bel lomont, who promised him safe con duct. With the remnant of his crew he was arrested, sent to England, tried for murder and piracy, con- victed and hung on Execution dock, Friday, May 23, 17o1. to satisfy the political eIgencies of the times It was either Lord Be11omont, the Lord Chancellor, the First Lord of the Admiralty, the Secretaries of State or Captain Kidd, and under this cir ] cumstance he had no chance. Collu- sion and perjury are plainly evident in his trial; the French passes which would have cleared him of the pira- cy charge, though produced in Par iament, were suppressed in the Ad- mira1ty court The least said about Be7lomont's action in the matter the better. He fooled Kidd, he fooled his council, and worst of it is, he all lowed it in his letters to the Lords of Trade.
 '+The Captain Kidd of today is a composite pirate made up of all who frequently our shores from 1887 to 1SS7- Propaganda of the worst kind blackened the reputation of a man of whom a recognized French authority says:
 Tt may be we'll doubted whether any man in equally trying circum- stances ever has been truer to his trust
 And yet the great American pub a pirate and in searching for his treasure, which does not exist"

LLOYD GEORGE
 AROUSED IRE OF
 lla, CHURCHMEN

London, July 29.-Prime Minister Lloyd George has aroused the ire of leading churchmen by telling them that they ought to keep out of po1i- tics.
 The occasion was the General As semb1y of Welsh Ca1vinistfc Metho- dists at Portmadoc, Wales, when the Premier delivered an address, in the course of which he complained of pulp lie utterances by highly placed di- vines at church conferences and else where on questions of the day such as Ireland and the industrial unrest, which, he asserted, they were not in the least competent to discuss" He stigmatized their observations as 'in- references in the task of govern ment, which, if followed, are replete with mischief both to the church and to the State."
 This indictment has aroused a protest and rebuke among MT. Lloyd Georges former colleagues in the Free Churches, and resolutions have been passed at various evangelical council meetings strongly dissenting from the Prime Ministers attitude. pr. John Clifford, the veteran Bap- tist leader, asserts that the Premier's doctrine is contrary to his own, which is that *tthe churches should take such action as to secure the application of the principles of the Gospel of Christ to the political conditions of the world"
 More outspoken is the Rev. H. J. Taylor, a Primitive Methodist lead CT, who says: '+The Premier declares that the business of the church and his ministers is to mind their own job. Their job is to demand that the Premier should practice religion in the law of the land-'
 From the pulpit of St. PauI's, Co., vent Garden, the Bishop of Chelms- ford flat1y told the Premier that he wouldn't accept his rulings. 'f he had said the church must not interfere in party politics, we might be agreed; but that is very different to politics. the bishop said 'tThe government touches human life at every point, and the church cannot agree to refrain from expressing her opinion upon that which touches all her members.
 we are going to make continuous war upon all that poisons the atmos- phere,'' continued the bishop, i've intend to have our politics impreg- mated with the right spirit-that of Christianity

OBJECT TO BEING
 CEDED TO !, 5,

Plymouth, Eng.,JuIy 29.-The peo- pie of the West Indies are wholly op- posed to any suggestion that the isl ands should be ceded to the United States as part payment of Great Britain's war debt, according to Sir Gilbert Carter, who has just returned from the islands.
 Sir Gilbert, who has been success sively governor of the Bahamas, Bar badoes and Trinidad and whose wife is the daughter of the later Francis Parker of Boston, Mass. admitted that the interests of the West Indies are largely American; ''but if know anything of the temperament of the people of Barbados they wosa1d re- sist a cession to the bitter eAd," he said.
 Sir Gilbert added that since the opening of the Panama Canal, Bar bados has become one of the great health resorts of the world, where visitors from both North and South America congregate.
