St. Louis Preacher Refuses to

BACKED BY PROFESSOR
College Accused or Heresy In Deny
ing Story Sues for Donation.
McCarvey Says Every Word
in the Bible Is True.
LEXINGTON, Ky., June 8. (Special.)
President J. W. McGarvey, of the
Bible'. College of the Kentucky Univer
sity, not only justifies Rev. S. A. Hoff
man, of St. Louis. In his refusal to
pay a $50,10 contribution to the Mis
souri Bible College, but upholds him
In his criticism of the University of
Chicago. On this point he Bays:
"As for the University of Chicago, I
think that. If reports about that school
. Hre true, Mr. Rockefeller would be
justified In reclaiming the money he
lias donated to the University. For
several years It has been reported tu
be a hotbed of Infidelity.
Every Word of Bible True.
"As 1 understand the case from the
papers. Dr. Hoffman declined to pay
the note because lie believes the Bible
t'ollege is not teaching the doctrines
It should to the young men being pre
pared by the Institution to eiler the
Christian ministry. If all allegations
are true, then I think he is correct in
4iis contention, for there is no doubt
Ithat the Bible, every word of It, is true,
and no Christian minister shoif d preach
any other kind of doctrine.
In the story in the papers it Is
said that the court would have diffi
culty In producing a witness to prove
that the whale swallowed Jonah, but
3 will take for my witness our Savior.
Jf you will look at Matt. xil:48, you
(will see that Jesus said:
I Jonah Indorsed by Jesus.
"'As Jonah was in the bowels of
.he whale three days and nights, so
will be the Son of Man in the bowels
f the earth three days and nights.' If
Jonah Is repudiated, then Jesus Christ
must be repudiated, but he is as good
witness as I want. Our Bible col
lege teaches that the Bible is true,
.very word, from cover to cover, and
p do not think a Christian minister
jlwould care to contribute to any insti
tution that taught otherwise.
' "Just when I will be called upon to
lve my deposition I do not know, but
it will be a pleasant duty If I can as
sist Dr. Hoffman to repudiate those
who ridicule the Bible. The St. Louis
-Judge will not be called on to decide
whether the story of Jonah and the
;"whale or the creation are true, but
he will be-asked to decide if the Mis
souri Bible College is teaching the
.doctrines to its young ministers that
It proposed to teach."
SURVEY OREGON PLACERS
Bourne Urges Geological Survey to
Study Goldbcarlng Gravel,
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, June 6. Senator Bourne has been
urging the director of the geological
survey to make a comprehensive study
of those regions of Oregon supposed to
contain gold-bearing gravels. There ap
pears to be no doubt whatever that
there are numerous gold deposits in the
state which. If properly studied, would
render handsome returns on Investments.
But these placer fields have not been
carefully studied in many Instances and
little is known as to their extent or the
quality of their gold deposits.
Chambers of Commerce and leading
oltlions have appealed to Mr. Bourne to
have the gold resources of the state made
4he subject of early and exhaustive study.
Some years ago Waldermar Llndgren of
the geological survey made such a study
cf the gold fields of the Blue Mountain
country In Eastern Oregon. Ha devoted
great deal of time to this work' and
his report, subsequently published, did
more to Interest outside capital than any
other one agency. Mr. Llndgren's report
was exhaustive and was found to be most
reliable.
In view of the great value of Mr. Llnd
gren's report on the Blue Mountain coun
try and the development which subse
quently resulted It is believed that. If
this same class of work could be ex
tended into other localities, similar re
sults would , follow. Authoritative in
formation of this character. If It Is favor
able, will prove an attraction to outside
c-apltal and will direct the attention of
miners to localities where paying invest
ments can be made. At the same time.
It would head off the wildcat schemes,
which might otherwise ' flourish and do
Vonslderable harm, not only to the state.
mt to Innocent Investors who might be
persuaded to take stock in them.
The geological survey has mapped out
fcts work for the present season and Its
studies of gold deposits have been some
what interferred with by the special
'Investigation being made of the coal
.Ileitis In all the Western states. A great
'deal of land supposed to contain coal
and therefore withdrawn has since been
found to be agricultural or timber land
With no workable deposits of coal on it.
and all this land has been restored to
entry. There remain several hundred
thousand acres witich must be examined
before It la definitely known whether the
land contains coal or not, and It is with
view to getting this Information that
the Government geologists have been
diverted from their usual work and as
signed to coal examination.
Mr. Bourne has been advised that owing
to the coal Investigations It will probably
te Impossible for the geological survey
to take up the study of gold deposits in
Oregon during the present season, but be
has assurance that the matter will be
made the subject of special Inquiry next
year. Director Smith has assured Mr.
Hourne that. If It should be possible to
send a man to Oregon later this season
to study the gold-bearing gravels, he
will make the detail. It seems to be
settled, however, that, if the study la
not made this season, it will be taken
jp at the opening of the season of 1908.

and was burned to the water's edge, with
a loss of $150,000. There was no insur
ance. The dredge had been in dock for sev

THAW TRIAL DRAMATIZED
Produced at Cheap London Theater
by Actor and Author.
LONDON. June ' S. (Special.) London
has seen its first Thaw drama. It was
not honored by a West End production,
as seven plays of American origin are,
but was presented on two consecutive
nights at the Castle Theater. Brentford,
a cheap house attached to a fourth-rate
hotel in a grimy, manufacturing suburb.
The remarakble feature about this melo
drama, which was alluringly entitled "The
Millionaire's Revenge; or, the Root Gar
den Murder," was Its having been written
In one day by the proprietor of the hotel,
F. W. Bird, who also played the role of
Harry K. Thaw. Mr. Bird, who is an old
actor, has written many plays on sensa
tional current topics, and produces them,
usually for one night only, at the Castle
Theater. "The Millionaire's Revenge"
proved a thrilling and lurid version of the
Thaw drama. All the characters, except
Stanford White, were billed In their real
names, but the author had taken consid
erable license with the story.
The audience of riverside workers and
costermongers was delighted, and greet
ed the playwrtght-actor-manager affec
tionately as "Good Old Birdie."

FLIGHT FROM 1XSAXE ASTIX'M
Man Who Helped Her Tells of Ber
tha Beilsteln's Wanderings.
CHICAGO, June 8. In connection with
the death at Los Angeles, Cal., of Bertha
Beilstein, who killed her mother in Alle
gheny, Pa., in October. 1899, and escaped
from Dlxmont Asylum for the Insane,
where she was confined, in October, 1906,
Edmund W. Wander, of Chicago, last
night said:
"I aided Miss Beilstein while she was
in Chicago, and did so purely out of
friendship of the family. J nursed her
as a child, and she wrote me many pa
thetic letters from the Allegheny County
Jail right after she killed her mother
in October, 1899. She also wrote me
from the insane asylum at Dlxmont. Pa.
"She escaped from the asylum between
October 10 and 20 last, and reached .my
mother's house. She was drenched
through with rain. My mother gave her
a hot bath and she remained there for
two days. Fred Beilstein. her brother,
my brother Alfred and I together raised
$100 and sent her to Los Angeles, Cal.
"At Los Angeles she. remained with rel
atives of mine until they came back to
Chicago. Then she got a place as dining
room girl at the Roslyn Hotel, and earned
$20 per month. After a time she wrote
us that Richard C. Hardy wanted to
marry her. She said she told him her
full life's history. We advised her to
wait.
"On May 21 1 received a letter from
Bertha saying that she was . in fine
health. The same day we got a tele
gram from Hardy saying that she was
low and needed money. Fred Beilstein
and I raised $50 and sent It. Hardy was
arrested on a charge of placing poison
In her milk, but when the autopsy dis
closed that she died from a tumor on
the brain he was exonerated from blame
aad released."
In her last letter to Wander, Bertha
Beibsteln asked if It would be safe to
get. back to Allegheny "soon" and claim
her share of her mother's estate. In the
letter she says:
"You know the awful and frightful con
ditions under which I left Pittsburg. I
fear being caught and placed among
those lunatics."
Chicago relatives say that certain Pitts
burg relatives some time ago spread the
report that Bertha had gone to Europe to
claim her share of her mother's estate.
The estate today is worth about $0000.
Bertha's trial cost the family $11,000.
FLED DOWN THE FIRE-ESCAPE
Bertha Beilsteln's Crime Due to
Spiritualist Delusion.
PITTSBURG, June 8. Bertha Beilstein
escaped from the hospital for the in
sane at Dlxmont, near here, on the night
of September 23. She had been in Inmate
for eight years. It was learned she
went down a fire escape. As no trace
was found of her afterward. It was re
ported she had been carried away by two
men in a carriage. She was classed by
Dr. Hutchinson, the superintendent of
the institution as a degenerate and a ma
tricide. Shortly after the escape two of
the women attendants were discharged.
A little over eight years ago the girl's
father died. Soon after his death Bertha
Beilstein and her mother became inter
ested in spiritualism. Through the teach
ings of this cult the girl, it is said, be
lieved her' dead father was commanding
her to join him, bringing her mother
with her. Early one morning, as Mrs.
Beilstein lay asleep, the girl shot her.
She then turned the pistol on herself.

WOMEN ON THE ROAD
Interesting Experiences of a Fair
Traveling Agent.
Eleanor C. Davidson in Chicago Tribune.
Do women make good traveling "sales
men?" At the present time they emphati
cally do not.
Is there a field for them? One of the
biggest fields in the world! .
I say this only after I have had six
years of experience as a "traveling sales
man." During those six years I have
come to the conclusion that if women
would train themselves in this work they
easily would equal men. and in many
lines would outstrip them. I nave figured
that at- the present time there is room
for 10,000 women traveling agents in the
United States. If this is so, why don't
women fill the positions?
Because, unlike men. they rely too much
upon their sex: they don't work hard;
they don't begin right; they don't learn
their own business.
A woman who has an ambition to be
come a "traveling man" should become
thoroughly acquainted with the line she
intends to represent I have found that
petticoats carry considerable weight in
securing trade, but knowledge must ac
company them. The agent, woman or
man. must be able to talk his or her
goods.
To prove that there are good traveling
positions awaiting many women I am
going to give the history of my own case.
I was a stenographer in a big plant that
made prepared paints. I was earning $12
a week, but my ambition was to climb
higher. One day I went In to the man
ager and I said to him:
"Mr. Brown, I want to go on the road
for you.. I want to sell paint!"
He looked at me in astonishment, then
.laughed, then sobered up.
"By George, that's a new idea," he said.
"I'll think about it."
The upshoot of the whole thing was
that I began learning the manufacture of
prepared paints. I didn't do this from
pamphlets. I put on an old dress and
went out among the grinding machines.
I went out In the factory proper. I saw
Just how tons of pressure were employed
in grinding the pigments; I learned hat
white lead was not the only "base" aTid
not the best; 1 learned that there were
other "thinners" than turpentine; I
learned a hundred things that equipped me
for the . road. rf
Six months I spent in this work. And
when I started on my route, in Illinois
and Michigan. I had all the nne points of
ready mixed paints at my tongue's end.
I even took a number of lessons In paint
ing from a professional painter so as to be
able to describe the difference In appear
ance and protection of a building coated
with a cheap mixture and one covered
with a scientifically prepared product.
Succeed? I was successful from the start.
And each year my business has increased.
I find that the trading public likes to
deal with women when the women have
sense and know their business. . Except in
rare cases a woman always can get busi
ness where a man can, and frequently she
can get business where her rival of the
opposite sex cannot. At least I find this
so among paint dealers. The institution
for which I work would place a dozen
women on the road during the next year
if they, were of the right kind. I dare
say .the 250 maunfacturers In the country
would employ 1000 women If they could
get them.
Once I was in a small Illinois town. 1
was talking paint to the dealer when a
locat painter was standing near. This
painter, who made his own paints, took
offense at my talk and butted in with a
lot of remarks which I could Bee were In
fluencing the dealer, to whom 1 had never
sold. Finally I turned on the painter and
with some wrath said:
"I'll wager you $10 I can take a can of
my paint and. do a better Job of painting
than you can with this stuff you're talk
ing about. Mr. (referring to. the
dealer) can be the Judge."
Well, we performed the stunt on one of
the dealer's rear buildings. The result
was that I secured a $300 order from the
dealer and he now .Is one of my regular
customers. And all this Just because I
knew how to paint.
HARRIMAN WILL ESCAPE
Wall Street Men Rely on Statute of
Limitations.
NEW YORK. June 8. The decision of
the Federal authorities not to Institute
criminal proceedings against E. H. Har
rlman in connection with his railroad
operations was the principal subject of
discussion on Wall street today. Mr. Har
riman spent the day at his country home,
and his associates wpuld not discuss the
matter for publication.
. Interests friendly to Mr. Harriman as
sert a belief that the Government will
abandon its case against the so-called
Harriman lines. The idea that Mr. Har
riman would be criminally prosecuted was
never very seriously entertained in finan
cial circles. Mr. Harriman's friends say
that there has been no basis for such
action and that most of the alleged illegal
acts imputed to him are barred by tha
statute of limitations. The stock market's
response to the news was a substantial
rise in the Harriman Issues, with corre
sponding advances elsewhere in the list.

NEW YORK, June 8. (Special.) The
exactions of high living have claimed an
other victim. "Dandy Jim." the sybarite
of the canine race, the only dog in the
world who possessed a personal fortune
of $10,000 and many diamonds. Is dead
today at his home, 422 East Forty-second

to live up to his exalted position.
As to the precise cause of his death
there is unhappily no doubt. "Got too
fat to breathe" is the verdict of the phy
sicians who attended him in the sudden
seixure of apoplexy that followed a light
luncheon of chicken and mayonnaise of
salmon, topped off with a pound of
chocolate creams.
The luxurious living which proved too
heavy for his advanced years was part
of the programme laid down by his late
