Milford, Kan., July 13.—Declaring j
that conditions within his church had
become such that he doubted “if even
the devil knows who’s who around
here,” the Rev. Charles Draper, pas-
tor of the Methodist Episcopal church
here, dissolved his congregation Sun-
day morning and told its members
the only way to get back was to come
forward publicly and take the vows
of the church.
Sunday night the whole congrega-
tion was back, obligations to the
church were renewed and the church
formally organized again. At the
morning service Dr. Draper explained
that he was faced with dissension
within the ranks and that he was un-
able to determine “just who are mem-
bers and who are not.”
“I wonder,” he said, “if even the
devil knows who’s who around here.
The only way I know is to turn every
one of you out. The only way for
you to get back is to come forward
publicly and take the vows of the
church. If enough are willing to do
that we will reorganize.”
Dr. Draper declared Tuesday that
the church now is functioning har-
moniously. *
BLOODHOUNDS ON TRAIL OF
WILD WOMAN IN BIG WOODS
McCREAVILLE ITEMS
(Houston Chronicle)
A pack of bloodhounds from the
Clement state prison farm Friday
was placed on the trail of the “wild
woman” of the Brazoria county tim-
berlands, according to reports reach-
ing Houston from Sweeny, Friday
afternoon.
Posses that comprise
New York, July 9.—Raised from
the deep, where it had lain for nine
months, the United States submarine
S-51 gave up its dead Friday. Sail-
ors in black boots and black oilskins
went down into the battered hulk and
one after another tenderly brought
forth the bodies of their comrades,
sent to death by collision with the
steamer City of Roem, last Septem-
ber.
Late in the day eighteen bodies had
been recovered and it was thought
that only one or two more remained.
Identification, however, proved slow.
Bodies of the following are identi-
fied:
Lieutenant Frederick D. Foster,
Nunley, N. J.
John Joseph McCarthy, first-class
seaman, 537 Fifty-third street, New
York City.
Charles Carrell Thomas, first-class
fireman, El Paso, Texas.
George Henry Max-tin, cook, 1906
Fedex-al street, Philadelphia.
Fx-ank Lester Mims, third-class fire-
man, 839 Libex-ty street, Augusta, Ga.
Edmund Webster Egbert, 20 Mur-
ray street, Annapolis, Md.
Robert E. Molland Will, torpedo
man, fix-st-class, 422 Freemasons
street, Noi-folk, Va.
Harry Dick Elser, coxswain, 762

Allen Clifford Earle, engineman,

cester, Mass.
Secx-etary of the Navy Wilbur in-
spected the submarine during the af-
practically i tex-noon. He said that the S-51 sail-
ors would not be given a xxaval fun-
eral, their relatives having made
known their plans foiwprivate burial.

leaders, a promise of better meals,
and the removal of all miners to bet-
ter quarters, but Saturday the offic-
ials of the prison won the fight when
the convicts found themselves with
no means, of escape, and no alter-
native but starvation.
The prisoners, who had been with-
out food since Friday noon, when
they barricaded themselves in the
shaft, had only 15 mules on which to
subsist if the strike continued. The
mules are animals that have been in
service for over 15 years.
In the demonstration Thursday
night, the prisoners yelled and beat
on buckets all night as a protest
against the fact that their beds were
not supplied with sheets.
Warden Mackey has cited several
menus replete with items “usually
found only on menus of first class
restaux-ants,” as proof of the asser-
tion that food given the prisoners is
adequate.
Late Saturday a leader of the mu-
tineers telephoned from the depth
of the mine and informed Warden
Mackey they would come out of the
mine on certain conditions.
Deputy Warden Hudspeth inform-
ed the convicts they could either^
come out unconditionally or not at
all. He assured the leaders the men
would be treated fairly but that no
concessions would be granted.
