Reorganization of
Presbyteries

New York-Every pastor of the
Presbyterian church in the U. S. A.,
ten thousand in all, will receive DUR
ing the next two weeks copies of q
new plan for organization of synods,
presbyteries and local churches, pre-
pared by the Committee on Re-
organization and Consolidation. This
is one of the final steps in the re-
organization of the church which has
been in process for three years.
The plan proposes that each of the
301 presbyteries set up a presbyterian
council, a~standing committee on pro-
motonal program and field activities,
and standing committees on the work
Of each of the four new boards, foreign
missions, national missions, Christian
education and ministerial relief. For
each of the 46 synods similar council
and committees are suggested.
For each of the 10000 Presbyterian
churches, local church council is
planned, to coordinate all the or
ganization and activities of the church,
functioning under the session >of the
local church and cooperating with
the Presbyterian committees. The
purpose is TO effect harmonized,
united and effective effort in all en-
terprises of the denomination through
out the United States, without in any
way sacrificing the individual authori-
ty of the local church or presbytery.

OFFICIALS BELIEVE
KING BEN is DEAD
David Is Not Found After
Thorough Search of Shiloh.

Benton Harbor, Mich. = Belief that
king" Benjamin Purnell, leader of
the House of David, is dead, was
strengthened today following the I'M
successful raid early yesterday on the
colony here More than 100 state
troopers and deputy sheriffs partici-
pated in the, hunt, which extended to
every house in the colony and sur
rounding territory.
State officials are anxious to locate
Purne1l to have him appear before the
ore-man jury at st. Joseph, Mich, to-
morrow when investigation of the af-
fairs of the colony is resumed.
While Benjamin was not unearthed,
all of his clothing was found. This
fact leads Sheriff George G.. Bridg-
man, who directed one section of the
raid, to believe that the Shiloh leader
is dead.
81 believe that if Purnell were still
alive, or if he were near the colony,
some of his clothing would have been
sent to him." the sheriff said.
Bridgman recalled that Benjamin
had been i'll with influenza just before
his sudden disappearance some months
ago.
Ruth and Gladys Sanford, former
Shiloh favorites, who swore to war
rants charging Benjamin with mis-
treating them, accompanied the
raiders.

Build. Airship With
Adjustable Wings

Hardin, Manchuria - An airplane
with adjustable wings, enabling the
pilot to alter his speed materially
during fight, has just been given a
series of tests here with highly salts
factory results. The inventor, j. J..
Dill Russian engineer, believes his
device will correct a long recognized
defect in the science of air navigation.
/ Dill's invention consists of an apar-
atus for altering the "angle. of incl
dence" of the plane while flying. In
the tests it was found possible to al
ter the angle eight degrees, causing
a corresponding difference in speed
ranging from $50 kilometers an hour
to 90, and to make landing within
a space of 10 meters.
"A 1870 horsepower French motor
was used and the airplane had wing
spread of approximately S9 square
yards. The pilot was Russian, Kud-
laienko, attached to Marshall Chang
Tso-lin's flying staff.
Dill claims his machine can attain
a high speed Of forty per cent greater
than that attainable by the rigid type
of airplane; a low speed 20 per cent
less and a climbing speed 81 per
cent faster.

Ocean Currents Bring
Mild Nights to Faroes

London-The greater warmth of the
water surrounding the Farce Islands,
in the North Sea, has caused the tenn
perature of the Islands to undergo
radical change during the last few
months.
Scientific Investigations have shown
that warm ocean stream from the
south is encircling the Islands and
that great quantities of strange fish
scales have been washed ashore.
These scales belong to type of octo-
pus that inhabits western European
waters, but hitherto has not been
known to exist north of the south
coast of England.
The temperature of the Islands has
been steadily increasing and the vege-
tation has grown more rapidly. The
nights, which usually are cold, have
become very mild.

ANNE STREET
LOSES TREES
Judge Belden Hands Down
Decision Sustaining the
Jury Verdict.
COUNCIL HAD RIGHT
Circuit Judge in Opinion Just
Filed Holds City Council
Didn't Abuse Power.

1t was tough luck perhaps for Anne
street but to the benefit of the public
in general that the comedy shade trees
that graced it's little lane next to
the Chicago and Northwestern rail-
way, were cut down, and this is the
tenor of the opinion Of the circuit
judge, just handed down in the case
of John B. Butcher VS.. the City OF
Kenosha and the Chicago and North
western railway.
The trees were cut down in carrying
out an order given by the former city
council. "Woodsman, spare that tree"
cried the indignant householders along
the street, but still the relentless axe
held sway and one by one the trees
were felled. Only the. stumps remain
on that spot to tell the story of a
three years contest.
Jury for the City. "
The case was carried into circuit
court by John B. Butcher, who had
originally owned the land and dedi-
Gated Anne street to the city and
planted the trees. When the case was
tried in circuit court the legal battle
lasted for some time. Attorney A. B.
Ames represented the plaintiff, and
C. E. Randall the city Of Kenosha. An
attorney for the Northwestern com
pany represented its interest in the
case, being named as one of the two
defendants. A verdict was given in
behalf of the city, finding that the
city had the power to cut the trees In
the interest of public safety and that
that power had not been abused.
The plaintiff Immediately entered
motions for setting aside the jury
verdict and entering judgment for
the plaintiff.
Finds Jury Was Right.
Judge Belden in his opinion just
handed down, denies the motion of the
defense The opinion reads as follows:
"The trees in question were cut
down by the authority and direction
of the common council of the city of
Kenosha. 1t is we'll settled that the
legislative body of city, acting for
the state, as the sovereign power, has
authority over the streets, and in the
interests of public safety and welfare
may remove the trees menacing safe
LraVel. Inc evidence we'll supports
the finding of the jury that the trees
in question constituted an obstruc-
tion to the view of travellers approach
ing the railroad tracks from the east
on. Sheridan road and Selma avenue,
creating dangerous condition to such
travels, and that the revoval Of
the trees was in the interest >of
safety for travellers upon said streets,
The common council of the city
has so determined and with such
legislative discretion and determ-
ination there being no abuse thereof,
the courts wilf-hot interfere.
Whatever damages the plaintiff is
entitled to results from the removal
of the trees and not from the fact
that the removal was summary.
Therefore the failure to give notice
to the plaintiff to remove the trees
or that the city contemplated or in
tended to remove them, is not import
ant. l think the plaintiffs several
motions after verdict should be denied
and the defedant's motion granted.
E. B. Belden, circuit judge"

Remote Asir Resists
Contact With Others

Notwithstanding Emir of Asir is
dead and buried in hiss capital at
Saba, and has been succeeded by his
son; but it has remained for the Ma
tional Geographic Society to call the
attention of the world to his pass
ing and to the romantic existence Of
the little nation over which he reigned.
Asir is principality situated on
the Arabian shore Of the Red Sea,
says bulletin issued by the society,
and has existed with little change
probably since the Israelites traversed
that body of water dry shod. Phoeni-
clans, Venetians and Portuguese have
coasted along its sandy shores, and,
since the Suez Canal was completed,
steamers from all parts of the world
have passed in sight of its beaches.
Yet the country is little known to
travellers.
One reason for this is that the in
habitants are fanatic Mohammedans.
Not only are Christians not wanted,
but even the Turks, who also are Mos
lens and representatives of the
Caliph, are their enemies. In fact,
during her war with Turkey in 1911
IL, lVAly manaSeu TO gain Cne aIildnce
of the Emir of Asir against CONSTANT
nople. Nominally Asir was part of
the Turkish Empire, but the people
never surrendered their independence.
While the Turks held several gar
rison towns, very little of the country's
area was ever explored by them.
There is nothing along the Red Sea
coast of the country, to attract the
traveller, for it is hot and barren and
fever ridden. But the high plateau
behind which rises the interior of
Asir, is land of much water and Of
gardens, fields and orchards.

MORBID.

The tomb of ''Bfuebeard" Landru in
France has been visited this year by
an endless procession of American
tourists. Most of the time the tomb
is covered with flowers left by. morbid
young women.
1t is difficult to understand the
psychology of the wreath bearers But
why try to? They are in the extreme
minority. For each young woman who
would take a flower to Landru's grave,
there are at least a thousand who
would leave poison ivy. Worth re-
Numbering, for most of us are inclined
to. base out general opinions on the
activities of minorities.

Frightful cruelty, this 'joke y Ger

is twin brother of the thing that
makes us laugh when a man slips pain
fully on the ice or when mule kicks
him. Humor, so-called (separate thing
from fun), is survival of savagery.
Human nature is usually at its lowest

After viewing the body of the

stated that they we're positive
that he was not a member of the

There was one baId-headed man on
