MEN PRIME NEED OF CHURCH MD? S5UAHi

byterian Synod.
MODERATOR STONE'S ADDRESS
Xnn Whoup Klectlnn nt Atlanta Wnn
a Rebuke to nccleslnstlcnl I'ol
. Klcs Staler the Key
Adrift.
Joieph Ernest McAfee of Jvew York,
nrcrotAry of the home mission boanl of
the Presbyterian church, told the synod
of Nebraska at North church that there
tren today 2,000 of the 10,O churches of t
thta denomination In America without
paitora and that I, SCO of them stand with
closed doors on a glvrn Sunday.
"Tho prime need Is for men." ho de
clared. He said the lriilcnhln In th
home mission churches was deficient as '
leadership, though ronal qualities werb
high. He attributed this deflclcnoy larfiely I
to the transitory character of the pas- '
torate. The avcrnso homo mission pas
torate, he said, was less than two years,
lis told of a home missionary who had
been on his field seven years and was
the senior pastor there, where tho per
sonnel of pastoratcn had undergone four
changes In his period.
"tASt year." said Mr. McAfee, "we lost
by death and other causes ST Presby
terian preachers. We ordained 2K to take
their places, and so It goes. I say the
crying need Is for men to man the church
of Christ and push forward under effi
cient and large leadership this great en
terprise of home missions."
"ChUrch on Its Job," was a slogan Ml.
MoAfee said had been ndopted by the
forward homo mlrslon agencies. Unity
of 'action, both as to spirit and execution,
was the impelling force. And the need
neit to that of men, he said, was organ
isation. Mr. McAfee's address followed the re
port of Rev. Nathaniel McCilffln, chair
man of the committee of home missions
and Sabbath school work In Nebraska,
which both showed was n leader among
the states. Tho New York man highly
Commended tho report and work here.
Iter. W. II. Kearns, synodlcal superln-
Undent, and Ilev. It, H. Houseman, edu
cational superintendent, also made Im
portant reports that evoked flattering
comments.
Nebraska n Lender.
Dr. Mcdlffln's report showed Nebraska
gaining ground In .all its missionary
agencies and that It devoted more money
per child for Sunday echool work than
any other state. It recommended u
sweeping evqngelUtlc (campaign this
autumn and winter throughout the etato
Tha chief feature of thja .report was to
recommend ft continuance of the home
mlatlon pel I elm pursued In Nebraska un
der the present regime and also the con
tinuance of the field leadership of Ilev.
IV. H. Kcarn. The synod now has that
report, which, with the motter of
synodlcal college, form tho crux of In
terest In this session. Both are on tho
docket for disposition this afternoon. It
was freely predicted that tho opposition
to tho home missions policy would not be
vigorous, but that tho, college question
would entail a nharp contest. Bellevue'a
friends are extremely anxious for equal
recognition with Hastings.
Moderator Stone Talk.
Or. John Timothy Stone, moderator of
tha general assembly, addressed the
synod t night. Ho is making tho rounds
of several western synods. rp Stone Is
paMor of tha large Fourth Presbyterian
church of Chicago, a young, vlgoroun
man of magnetic force, who goes by the
title of "a man's man."
His election as moderator at Atlanta
Wet May, It Is recalled, was spontane
ous, and after the pips were set for one
of four other men. Wlthoui, Dr. Stone's
knowledge a protest agalna'. "ecclesiasti
cal politics" arose and culminated In ht
nomination, lie protested, but was elected,

Many a man who feols that ho does
not want to spend very much for a suit

ho takes a look at the "cheap" gar

and Peter meaning "stone," the nssemblv
burst forth In cheers, and later awept
the "dark horse" Into the chair as Its
protest against "ecclesiastical politics,"
a thing that has played Its part, it Is
said, In the present Nebraska synod.

term, which, . by tho elimination of an
election this fall was lengthened ono
year from the present date. Mr. Adams
has borne a considerable, part of the
work of tho office recently on account of
the Illness of Mr. MoBrldc and It was
Partly owing to a deslro to pay Mr. Mc

that tho hoard promptly named Mr,
Adams to succeod his chief, although
claims of a number of other candidates
wore urged by their friends,

DIETZ REPDSESTO SELL OUT
This May Force an Issue as to the
Water Board's Power.
HOWELL WOULD FORCE SALE
Una Had Appraisers Fls Value., but
Diets Has an Offer of T0O More
nn Aerr Diets Snys He
Will FUht In Court.
By refusing to soil a section of the old
Griffin farm at Forty-second and Grover
street to the metropolitan water district
for a reservoir site Gould Diets has chat
lenved General Manager II. Beecher How
ell to a teat of the Water board's power
or eminent domain, a question which
would ultimately Involve the constitu
tionality of the metropolitan water dis
trict law.
General Manager Howell bad his ap
praisers fix a value on the property at
Forty-second and Grover streets. Basing
his proposal on the report ot these ap
praisers Howell road an offer to Diets.
Ignoring the fact that C. N. Diets haq
propoutd to purchase the property a
price STO) an acre above Howell's fut
ures Diets told tho general mananer he
would not sell at any price.
This reservoir would-be locatrd In the
middle of the Diets land, and Diets says
he not only does not desire a reservoir
there, tut has no Inclination to sell his
property Ho lold the Water board boss
to try to force hint to sell and threat
ened at the first move of the board to
ward exerclslns Its alleged right of emi
nent domain to go to court himself and
"knock the metropolitan water district
law sky high."
John I Webster, attorney for the
Water board, has advised delay, believ
ing that It precedents are. established the
courts would hesitate to hold that the
Water board has no right of eminent
domain under the metropolitan water
district law. Delay in bringing this mat
ter, as well as several others, to a test
in the courts haa been on advice of At
torney Webster.
The Water board, Howell and Webster
are ot the opinion that no matter how
weak a vessel the metropolitan water
district law Is the courts will contrive
to make It good It the people permit the
board to operate for a year or two under
It without Interference.

ACTED BEYOND AUTHORITY
So Declares Judge Baker in Refer
ence to Judge Foster.
SHOULD ACT WITHIN THE LAW
I'olUe Department pbjets to Man
ner In Which Prisoners Are
Treated While Waiting- a
Chance to Appeal.
City Corporation oounsel Ben S. Baker.
In a written opinion submitted to Chief
ot Police Henry W. Dunn today, holds
that Police Judge Charles Foster acted
without legal authority when he In
structed a police sergeant to Incarcerate
Kdward Bexton. a druggist. In the "bull
pen" at the city Jail pending the prepara
tion of an appeal bond.
Chlot of Detectives 8teve Maloney asked
Chief Dunn tor assurance of "decent
treatment" for men arrested by detectives
and police and fined In police court.
Bexton was fined UOO. His brother, con
nected with a national bank here, asked
that the druggist be not confined V jail
"with burns," but allowed to go free for
an hour or so until an appeal bond could
be prepared. Judge Foster Insisted on
throwing the drvgglst Into the "bull per"
Judge Baker told Chief Dunn, "It Is not
within the power of the police judge to
designate In which part ot the Jail such
person shall be confined, The court ex
hausts Its power when it orders and
directs that such person be. confined in
JalL" Informally the Judge declared that
the appearance bond held good until
committment was Issued. The appeal
bond would have been prepared boforo
such commitment was Issued, the latter
usually being issued after court adjourns.
Chief Dunn said:
"This department does not want to get
Into any row with the police Judge, but
It Is time we had some assurance that
respectable and established citizens would
be given the privileges to which they aro
entitled by law. Bexton was convicted of
selling cocaine. Whether he sold it or
not he was ready to give bond and there
waa no Just reason why he should have
tion of the bond. There is too much pc-r-aonal
feeling shown In dealing with
police court cases."
