Postponement of Week Granted by
Court on Motion of Defendant's
Counsel Curious Crowd
to See Prisoner.
Kdward Hugh Martin, aceuspd of the
murder of Nathan Wolff, the Frst-rtreet
pawnbroker, pleaded not guilty before
Judge Gantcnbeln at 10 minutes after 2
o'clock yesterday afternoon. Martin con
ducted himself in true military style,
standing with his head erect, his shoul
ders thrown back and his heels together
as the Court asked him if he waa ready
to plead.
"What is your plea?" said Judge Gan
tenbeln. "Not guilty, Your Honor," was the
reply.
"L.et the plea be entered," said the
Court.
Martin was taken from the County Jail
to the courtroom by Deputy Sheriff Proeb
atel. Seated in a corner beside the wit
ness chair, he paid little heed to the
gaze of the curious spectators who had
gathered to see the man who stands ac
cused of the heinous crime. Martin
waited 10 minutes before Attorney Kava
nauph entered the courtroom. After
greeting Martin he had a short conference
with Deputy District Attorney Haney.
This was in progress when Judge Qanten
bein entered, and the baliff rapped for
order.
Mr. Haney informed the Court that this
was the time for hearing Martin's plea.
After Mr. Haney had told Martin to stand
the Court asked for his plea.
Attorney Kavanaugh asked that the set
ting of the case for trial be postponed
in order that he might have time for
further consultation with Martin L. Pipes.
Martin's lawyer, and might have time
to hear from Martin's parents. The ex
tension was granted, and the case will
be set for trial at 2 o'clock next Monday
afternoon. Mr. Haney says that the only
date on the calendar which is left open
for the case is July 3.
The last time the New York agent
heard from Martin's father the latter was
at Lourdes. France. That was three
weeks ago today.
Martin appeared to be feeling well yes
terday, although the statement Is made
by Jailer Hunter that since the prisoner
has been in the County Jail no morphine
or cocaine has been given him. How he
exists without the drugs is not explained,
LA ROSE W ILL PLEAD TODAY
Appears Before Court to Answer to
Charge of Murder of II. Xeurnan.
Jack La Rose, a marine fireman, who
Jias been Indicted for the- murder of H.
Keuman, a second-hand dealer. will be
arraigned before Presiding Judge Gan
tenbein in the Circuit Court at 2 P. M.
today. He is also to enter his plea. The
Court will appoint a lawyer to defend
him in case La, Rose has not engaged
Tounsel before that time. Up to last
night he had not engaged a lawyer.
Neuman was brutally attacked at 11
Vclock on the morning of May 12 by a
man armed with a gasplpe wrapped in
rown paper. A frightful gash was cut
In the head of the second-hand dealer.
He died from his wounds the next day.
La Rose has also been indicted for
assault on John Chong at 11 o'clock on
the morning of May 13. The Chinaman
Was also assaulted with a gasplpe, but
was not so badly hurt as to prevent his
calling for help. La Rose was arrested
In Krickson's saloon by Deputy Sheriff
Plover. The information charging La
Rose with assault was filed in the Muni
cipal Court.
Deputy District Attorney Haney said
last night that the only date open for
the trial of La Rose in the Circuit Court
ts July 3. If his case cannot be tried
at that time It will be necessary, it Is
thought, to let it go over until two
months later.
MANY TREATIES RATIFIED
f-cnate Makes Highest Record in
Years for One Session.
"WASH INGTON". May 25. With little
discussion and loss publicity the Senate
frvtui at this session passed on 87 treaties,
tnore In nunibor, if not in importance,
than had boen ratified during the 20
bears preceding. In making effective so
tmany agreements .with the nations. In
the advancement along three distinct
lines, 12 nations have agreed by treaty
nvlth the United States to arbitrate fut
ure disputes, which is taken to mean
nothing less than that the world has now
been established on the plane of arbitra
tion. The foundation for continued
friendly procedure in adjusting questions
with the Orient lm believed to be con
tained In the treaties and the legislation
in respect to Japan, to which is added
the friendly visit of the fleet to that part
of the world.
A basis of settlement has been arrived
et with Great Britain, by which long
standing questions between Canada and
the United States are assured of satisfac
tory adjustment.
To these important international ac
complishments, dtrectcd throughout by
f?ecretary Root, may be added a number
of lesser magnitude. The territory avail
able as asylum for the fugitive from Jus
tice has been further restricted through
extradition treaties with Spain, Portugal,
Vruguay and San Marino, while natural
ization treaties have been concluded with
Peru, Salvador and Portugal.
The gain for arbitration U regarded as
a distinct victory for American diplo
American delegates to The Hague confer
ence. The result so far Is the approval
of (jeneral arbitration treaties with Great
Britain, Japan. France, Italy, Spain,
Switzerland. Mexico, Portugal, Nether
lands. Sweden and Denmark. Besides the
general arbitration treaty. 11 of the treat
ies resulting from The Hague conference
were approved. As to the Orient, the im
portant accomplishment Is the bringing
of Japan into the group of nations com
mit ted to arbitration.
In the' adjustment of the Canadian
questions, a century and a Quarter of
strife vill be brought to an end. But
greater even than this is regarded the
moral effect on the world of two great
powers of the world making practical use
of the arbitration principle. This prin
ciple is to be invoked In adjustment of
the Newfoundland fisheries question.
In but one Instance did the Senate fail
to comply with the request of Secretary
Root on the question of treaties. It failed
to approve the convention for the regu
lation and transmission of wireless mes
sages. It Is predicted this treaty will be
agreed to later.

now at York, Pa., "invitini? action with
a view to further consideration of the
subject of closer relations between the
two denominations, in harmony with the
resolution adopted in 1896 by the joint
committee representing both churches."
The assembly adopted a resolution ap
proving: of the plan of the federal coun
cil of the Churches of Christ in America,
which is composed of 27 of the leading
Protestant and evangelical churches in
the country, with the hope that "the first
meeting of the federal council will result
in the adoption of plans of co-operation,
which will manifest more clearly the
unity in Jesus Christ of the churches and
advance in a noteworthy manner the in
terests of the kingdom of Christ in the
United Statea and throughout the world."
The work of the council of the Re
formed Churches, in the United States
In advancing the cause of church co-operation
was approved.
. College-Trained Pastors.
The increased number of students in
theological seminaries who come from de
nominational colleges was brought out
by Rev. J. S. Dickson, secretary of the
college board, as the result of the board's
work. He said:
"In 1889 only 8 per cent of the men in
theological seminaries were from denomi
national colleges. In 1908 in 11 Instances
only 6 per cent were from undenomina
tional colleges."
Religious education in America was
condemned by Rev. J. Ross Stevenson,
vice-president of the college board, as
"the most ineffective, the most unintel
ligent and the most haphazard possible."
The formation of a political organiza
tion of all the Protestant churches In the
United States, with supreme executive
power centered in a president and an
executive committee this, in brief, is a
programme for church union formulated
by Rev. Mark A. Matthews, of Seattle,
Wash. It is declared that this is to be
one of the most discussed topics at this
week's session of the assembly.
Mr. Matthews said that he did not pro
pose the establishment of a Protestant
popery. The proposed lead, according to
his plan, is simply to direct concerted
action against temporal evils and for tem
poral good. It is not to be in any sense
an intermediary in spiritual matters.
The report of the board of missions for
freed men was submitted at the morning
session and brought out much discussion.
It showed a decrease of $16,752 in receipts
during the last year, but the amount,
gathered on the field and expended there
was the largest ever reported. It adds:
The extent of the work is shown by the
following figures: Ministers, 240: churches
and missions, 3S1; added on examination,
1842; added on certificates, 190; whole num
ber. 23,768; Sunday schools, S70; scholars,
20.832; schools, 114; teachers, 343; pupils,
13,576.
East Produces Few Preachers.
The Board of Education in its report
deplored the scarcity of candidates for
the ministry east of the Allegheny Moun
tains, seven 'of the strongest Presby
teries averaging only one for 6137 church
members. It continues:
The reault Is that the churches of the
East draw heavily upon the -ministerial
forces, of the West, truffg-Ung as she Is
with her vast stretches of unevangeltzed
territory, into which immigration le pour
ing with ever wldenlnr stream. It Is be
yond the Mississippi that the majority of
our 221U vacant churches lie. If the East
ern homes, churches and schools cannot
furnish enough ministers for the needs of
their own territory but must drain away
some of the best workers from our desti
tute home mission fields, the laws of supply
and demand in the church- have become
seriously disturbed. The call for men to
man the fields In the South. West and
Southwest is strongfv and louder today
than ever In cur Nation's history. Over
BOO men could be used at once on Home
Mission territory If the money and the men
were available. There are county seats In
the Southwest having no evangelical church
of any denomination.
