tauqua conference on International
relations from the Christian point

An anti-American reaction had set

The killing of Mr. Palmer and the
capture of Dr. Howard are looked 1
upon as the more regrettable because
they occurred at the time when the '
American government was demon-
titrating again its traditional friend- ','
ship for China by remission of, the ,
remaining payments due under the ,
Boxer Indemnity agreement. It Is the '.
earnest hope of Washington that the
Chinese authorities will take prompt
and effective steps not only to clear ;
up the. Incident of yesterday, but to ''
prevent a recurrence. .

According to Mr. 8 medley nobody
was fct homo when the fire started,
save for his two children, aged 4 and
6 years old, who were in the front
part of the house when It Is believed
the blase was burning In the rear.
"When the fire was discovered, how
ever, It had spread to the Seventh Day

caused from defective wiring.
Because of having their church de

parochial education Is given to chil

According to J. S. Van Dorfy the

possible after n meeting Is had with
J. 1, Meehan, elder of the church.
Many compliments were given Hire
"Chief Roy Elliott for the efficiency of
his department In preventing a con

the entire block or even farther be
fore It could have been brought umler

also given the pumper which beat out
