 MILITANT MEMBERS

 gates Are Told
By Associated Press

London, September 16.-The worlds Methodist conference has drawn up an address for circulation in Meth odist churches throughout the world. calling for aggressive militant Christianity The address reads;
 We need more nerve and more au dacity. We summon you to aggres sive militant christianity. We well come the emancipation of women and hail them joyfully as fellow work CTS
 We have heard the call for a union of churches. Our first duty is to heal our own divisions and to call our Methodist family to greater unity than we now enjoy"
 The conference sent fraternal greetings to the assembly of Ger man evangelical churches. meeting at Stuttgart, and adopted resolu- ton thanking the American govern ment for providing a site in Wash ington for statue to Bishop Fran cls Asbury, considered the founder of Methodsm in the United States.
 Bishop James Cannon. IT,. Metho- dist Episcopal church, south, re- viewed the prohibition struggle i1 the United States and analysed it's results, saying:
 ''The nescapable fact remains that the liquor traffic has forever been branded as an outlaw by the govern ment of the Unitedl States"
 Bishop Cannon declared that If an other war should come demanding that sons come from prohibition homes in America to fight in Eng land. France or other countries, one of the most important factors would be whether the American and Eng fish or French governments would cooperate to offer the same protec- tion to the American youth from drink as he receives under the Amer ican flag. He said the Americans entered the late war not for any sor- did reason, but because the Ame~- ican people believed in justice and righteousness.

Radakovich Bound Over.

With Judge Risjord presiding
the hearing of Peter Radakovich
charged with manslaughter in con.
nection with the death of Loist
Bailey, who died in the General
hospital at Ashland from gunshot
wounds received during a brawl in
the defendants saloon at Epson
on the night of last March 9, wa,
held in the circuit court rooms
Thursday.
The hearing lasted throughout
the day, and resulted in Radakovich
being bound over to the next term
OF circuit court for trial. Atty.
Marion F. Reid appeared for the
defendant with Dist. Atty. Warren
B. Foster conducting the case for
the state.
The testimony of the principal
witnesses, NJ, J. White, Rayfeld
Sorel and John Mattson, was sub
stantially the same as that given al
the orig Il hearing in municipal
court when the defendant was dis
missed by Judge Thomas on the
grounds that the shooting was
Justihable. But very little new
testimony was introduced. The
jury will probably have to decide
whether Radakovich vas justified
in shooting Bailey. Testimony
shows that brawl took place in
the defendants saloon following q
drinking bout, that the three Young
men, Bailey, Sorel and Mattson
had started to clean up" the
place and that during the scuffle
Bailey was shot with revolver in
the hands of Radakovich, who, it
is claimed, fired in self defense.
The second hearing of The case
was brought about through the
action of Gov Blaine in in.
structing Dist. Atty. Warren B.
Foster to have Radakovich re.
arrested upon request of the Amer.
can Legion at Iron River.
