Liberals Again
Win Victory at
Baptist Meeting
Conservatives Fail to Force
Through Test Creed for Use
IX JjAirches, Schools and
Colleges of Denomination.
Oh, Doctor, I Had
Some Snake Poison,
Quick, the Likker!
Des Moines, la. June 24. (Spe
cial Telegram.) Efforts of the con
servative wing of the Northern Bap
:st convention, in 14th annual ses--ion
here, to force through a test
reed for use in the churches, schools
ind colleges of the denomination are
doomed to failure, it was apparent
today.
In the report of the committee on
denominational schools, submitted to
the convention proper Thursday, the
liberals won another and decisive
victory. The report is practically
a vindication of the schools and col
leges supported by Baptist funds
from charges that they were not
being operated in accordance with
Baptist teachings.
Added importance is attached to
the report by the fart that the chair
man of the committee, Frank W.
Goodchild of New York City, which
has been investigating the denomina
tional schools for the past year, is
himself a prime mover in the ranks
of the fundamentalists, who are seek
ing the adoption of a written creed.
The issues involved in the report
are the most important to come up
bofnre the convention. The reoort
will be considered for adoption on
the floor Friday.
Violent Controversy.
After what 5s described as the
most violently controversial session
in the history of the convention
which developed unheralded from a
program apparently devoid of
grounds for a fight, the delegates
sitting as the Home Mission society,
voted to accept an anonymous gift
of a trust fund valued at $1,750,000
with credal restrictions. The bequest
is said to have come from a man
living on the Pacific coast.
Filibustering and tempestuous dis
regard of parliamentary rules fea
tured the oratorical battle, which
lasted practically all afternoon.
The fight upon the acceptance of
a creed had apparently been ban
ished from the delegates' minds the
preceding day. During the reading
of the report upon Baptist schools
today, the friction between the two
factions had been obviously re
pressed. Delegates were surprised when an
attack was .started upon the accept
ance of the unknown donor's gift.
The attack started immediately fol
lowing the reading of the report
upon the work of the American
Baptist Home Mission Society by
Dr. Charles L. White, executive sec
retary of New York.
Heckle Chicago Man.
After a series of speeches, the
Rev. M. P. Boynton of Chicago
charged that "trust funds in the past
have been basely betrayed by those
who have handled them." This was
taken up by delegates in the galleries
mho demanded to know "who?"
nsrn mem . nu wuus kuuiv.
Dr. Boynton turned to the hecklers
and answered "I -will tell you if you
want to know," he shouted. "I refer
to the University of Chicago Divin
ity School."
Dr. Boynton's charges were
branded as false by an unknown
delegate, who answered: "As a grad
uate of the University of Chicago, I
deny the statement and brand it
false."
Insistent sounding of the gaval
brought the delegates to order fol
lowing the naming of the Chicago
school by Dr. Boynton.
Repeated demands were made by
the delegates to know the names of
those who Dr. Boynton charged with
betraying the trust funds. Dr.
Boynton, however, did not comment
further on his charges except to an
swer his heckler by saying: "I am
Snake bite has been known to be
a most fashionable and popular af
fliction. Especially in these days of Vol
steadism. But the pain of the bite, just for a
shot of whisky, has driven this form
of disease into the vale of unpopu
larity. Steps forth now Russell Williams
of Overton, Neb., who has written a
letter to Omaha which bids fair to
i revolutionize prohibition.
"Can you tell me to whom I could
sell the poison taken from rattle
snakes' venom sacks?" queries Russ.
Omaha police are reported to he
preparing for a flood of ambulance
calls from Omahans hurt in the rush
to Overton.

E. Robb of Tolk county late today

from Chicago and I know what I
am talking about when I talk about
the university."
Every effort is being made to con
ceal the identity of the wealthy lay
man who has offered the $1,750,000
trust fund to the American Baptists
home mission society. The gift is
accompanied by the provision that
none of the money is to be used to
pay salaries of missionaries or relig
ious workers who do not subscribe
to conservative tenets of the Baptist
faith, in the form of a credal test.

INSURANCE MAN
RELATES FACTS
ABOUT HIS CASE
For First Time in Two Years
Well-Known Lincoln Man
Can Eat Hearty Meal.
"For the first time in two years I
can eat anything I want without
suffering indigestion afterwards and
it is all because of the first-class con
dition in which Tanlac has put m
stomach," said C. L. Deats, well
known insurance man living at 1719
L street, Lincoln," Neb.
"I had stomach trouble of the
worst sort for two years and my ap
petite -was so poor I barely ate
enough to keep alive, and what little
I did eat would make mc suffer
hours after meals. I suffered ter
ribly from constipation, headaches
and dizziness. I was very much
alarmed about my condition as. in
addition to these troubles, I had
severe pains in my side and my
nerves were so upset I couldn't get
any sound, restful sleep.
"It certainly was a welcome sur
prise to me when I found that Tan
lac was what I had been needing all
along. It suited my case exactly.
Eat? Why I eat like a farm hand
now and sleep like a log all night
long. In fact, I am just in the pink
of condition, and if Tanlac had cost
he a hundred times what it did it
would have been cheap at the price."
