Converts Pew; Influence Great. Astde from the number of converts, which is comparatively small, the In fluence of the Christian missionaries in India has been wonderful.

Yesterday's flight exceeded his previous record. succeeded in the abolition of forcing tha tarrihl Hi nf "suttee. In the practice of which widows burned them selves alive on the funeral pyres of their husbands. The systematic and approved murder of new born girls was practically stamped out by the mis sionary Influence. The. terrible misery of the Hindu child widow has been al leviated by missionary efforts in her behalf, and the civil law now gtves her the right of remarriage. In a more In direct - fashion; the missionaries have done much good by Inspiring reform among the better educated high caste Hindus, movements which have resulted in the abolition of many demoralising ad degrading religious practices. Bearing of This on Coming Wars. The Christian community Increased 30 per cent in numerical strength in the last census decade, and, despite the fact that it has few recruits from the higher classes,, it has assumed importance as a religion among the native peoples of India. In the storm which must Inev itably break over political India, the influence of the Christian missionary will be the most potent weapon of Brit ish defense. The native Christian knows what his fate would be under an orientalized government, and he will fight to keep the cross of St George high over . him, dreading equally the crescent of the Moslem or the trident of the Brahman. corroborated in every detail Newcomb's story that they plotted the atrocious crime between them, and while admit ting ner relations with tne murderer, will contend that she had no hand in the slaying of her husband, relying on the natural hesitancy of a Juror to find a woman guilty of murder as an accessory before the fact, when it is not shown that ahe actually had a hand In the kill ing. Newcomb, on the day following the murder, and constantly since then, has asserted that the woman fired two shots into her husband's body as he lay pros trate on the around. The woman, In her confession, denies any actual part in the killing, although she freely admitted that she had planned the affair with Newcomb. It is believed that the state will endeavor to establish by witnesses who heard the shooting that Newcomb's story Is the correct one, and thus will attempt to show the woman guilty both as principal and as accessory. An Interesting point in connection with the case Is that under the old criminal code, which was in effect at the time of the murder, and under which Newcomb and the woman will be tried, hanging Is the penalty which must be Imposed for murder In the first degree. The new code, now In effect, makes life Imprison ment or hanging optional with the court Oklahoma's Liquor Problem. Guthrie, Okla., July 21.
