THE FIRST CONGRESS Those Interested in Religious Edu- cation Assemble Here, INTERESTING PAPERS PRESENTED Theme of the Addresses at the Opening Session. FUTURE PROGRAMS The opening session of the first Congress of Religious Education was held last even- ing at the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church. There was a large attendance, al- though many members of the American So- ciety of Religious Education, under whose auspices this first congress is held, did not reach the city until today. The congress will last through Thursday evening. The theme of the addresses that were de- livered last evening was ‘Religious Educa- tion and National Prosperity.” There were three speakers, Rev. W. H. Milburn, Dr. J. E. Grammar, a leading Episcopal minister of Baltimore, and Senator Thurston of Ne- braska. Last evening’s meeting was presided over by Gen. John Eaton, who made a brief statement at the opening. The Y¥ choir, R. S. Fountain, chorister, furnished the music, and Rev. Wallace Radcliffe read a lesson from the Scripture. A hymn written es- pecially forthe congress by Rev. Dr. Ran- kin of Howard University was sung by choir and congregation. Then Gen. Eaton introduced Rev. W. H. Milburn, the blind chaplain of the Senate. In the course of his address Mr. Milburn took occasfon to remark that certain classes of people see fit to circulate declarations as to the corruptibility, dishonesty and greed for gain of members generally of the na- tional legislature. This, Mr. Milburn as- serted, was a foul slander. “The average of the intelligence,” he said, “the character, the behavior and the general deportment of the members of the Senate and House is incomparably higher than it was in what people are so fond of calling ‘the good old times.’ "’ Dr. Grammar took the ground that, as Benaparte had said, the kingdom of God alene could last, because it was founded not on force, but on love. No nation whose corner stone was not rightcousness could endure. He said: “In the light we enjoy we cannot conceive of any true prosperity Without relixion. What is government without religion? All legislation must be futile unless it spring from the hearts of the people. And when the heart of man is inspired by the love of God and his fellow men, there will be no ill to our neighbor. The prosperity of the ancient raticns was transient. It is written time and time again in God's own handwriting that the nations that will not serve Him He will destroy.” Senator Thurston made an able and elo- quent address, referring to the evidences of Divine influence in the making of the republic. He referred to Washington's first act after taking the oath of office, of kissing the Bible. The pilgrim fathers’ first written constitution was inspired by the word of God. He declared that God had guided the armies of the Union through its struggles for the preservation of the country, and had raised up Abra- hem Lincoln to be the emancipator of the slaves. This Morning's Sexsion. When the session of the congress was called to order this morning by Dr. J. M. Gregory, the attendance was by no means large, but in the gathering were a number of the most prominent Washington pas- tors, as well as several men and women who are actively er the regular devotional exer imer, Ph. D., the principal ‘ormai School at Fred: da scholarly paper on the ligious Education Defined.” After ¢ careful metaphysical definition of the term Dr. Palmer considered the problems of when such education shold be begun, how best begun and how continued. Children, of course, are not ail equally advanced at any particular e, and the time a hods should be varied to suit each par- lar case. Max Muller, the fz man savant, has sail that he has never met with a people so low that they did not have some conception of a God. This concept seems to be inherent even in child- hood, and the process of development ts education, in the proper meaning of the werd, rather than the system of implanting from’ without. As to methods, Dr. Palmer said that a dry lesson in the catechism Is better than a delighifui tale that fails to point a good moral. Yet between the catechetical and the purely illustrative methods lies the best and ratural method. The mest im- portant thing is to teach the personality of God, such a personality that He shall be a real power and factor ir: human life. In conclusion, Dr. Palmer paid a high tribute to the importance of the work to which the American Society of Religious Education has been called. Upon the soci- ety devolves the responsibility to build up a commen religious life on the foundation of a common religious intelligence. ilities of future usefulness which out before the society can be but im- perfectly apprehended at this early stage of its history. Discussed by Mr. Willits. The read:ng of the paper was followed by a discussicn on the theme, which was opened by Mr. Edwin Willits, ex-assistant secretary of agriculture. Mr. Willits said that 1t would not be easy to improve upon the definition of religious education which had been adopted by the society and was used upon the program: “The term relig- fous education, as used herein, is intended to cover all processes employed among children and adults to impart a knowledze of sacred things, to develop the spiritual powe-s and to conform the life to a relig- fous ideal.” Still, sa‘d Mr. Willits, it might be possible to throw some side lights upon the subject. The best fovndation for char- acter, he said, is an inherent quality, rath- er than an extrareous motive—the power to project itself rather than to await the impetus. The one is self-sustaining, centinuous, to be relied upon, the other subject to the vecillation of every wind that blows. So that education is the most to be com- mended which develops inherent strength, disciplines the energies, gives facts enough for nutrition without indigestion, and starts the disciple on his course of life with pow- er to discriminate and purpose to do the rght thing though the heavens fall. True religious education is not a par- exysm, a spasm, sporadic. It is a life not to be measured by its facility to fall from grace. It is a persistent purpose with a steady force in the divine direction, and that religious education is most to be com- mended*which shall develop those staying qualities, sensitive to good impulses, but quick to resist the evil, with a self-poise and tendency which seeks good thoughts rather than hunts for the shady perversi- ties of human life and experience.

Miss Smith's Paper. { Miss A. Tolman Smith of the bureau of n followed with a long and care fully prepared paper on the subject, “Old Problems in New Lights,” or the relation of the church to education. In ner paper Miss Smith said, in part paration of church and state has affected educa- tion in a singular manner. It given to the school the task of preparing men for this life and left to the church the tas| | preparing them for the life to Hence often the ta umption th man may be one thing during nis earthly career and a totaliy different thing for the balance of eternity. Hence, too, the maly of Christian teaching scouting in- telligence as an attribute of the lower life, and intelligence scoffing at Christian teaching as a cult of myths and super- stitions. Hence, the anomaly of men Christian at heart but pagan in intelle ‘This opposition in the parts of what should be an organic whole explains much of the unrest of the moment. The school feels the need of ethical purpose, the church realizes that it has a mission for time as well as eternity.” In conclusion Miss Smith said: “The work must begin with individuals, but not end there. If the mission of the church for 1,40 years has been to raise men to a spiritual plane, its mission now must be to humanize them on that plane. To make a man more precious than gold is the thought of his fellow men. To make each participate in the life of all and all in the life of each; this undoubtedly is the mean- ing of that impulse toward union out of which have sprung Christian Endeavorers and Christian congresses. Lt remains to add scientific method. Let me flave the thought of what this method requires. First, exact knowledge of the conditions of a problem. Second, adaptation of means to each and every particular case.” Miss Westcott's Secondary Paper. The same theme was considered in a secondary paper, read by Miss Edith C. Westcott, the principal of the Western High School. She argued, in part, that there should be better training among Sunday school teachers themselves, for, too often, their only qualification for their work is their willingness to teach. If the standard of Sunday school teaching were raised 1t would soon be necessary to enlarge the churches in order to accom- modate their growing membership. Miss Westcott also made an earnest plea for kin- dergarten methods. “Put a kindergarten,” she said, “at the end @f every bridge and adjacent to every alley and in a genera- tion we will have solved the slum problem tined moniou by doing away with the slums them- selves.”” “Religion’s Education in Different Periods of Life’ was the theme that wes handled in an interesting and instructive manner by Rev. Dr. S. L. Beiber, the vice chancellor of the American University. The subject was further discussed by Rev. I, W. Canter, D.D., pastor of the M. E. Church South. After a brief resume of the work of the American Bible Society by Rev. Dr. E. W. “Gilman; corresponding secretary of society, the session adjourned. Future Sessions.

There is much cemplaint among residents of that part of the city which fs within ight or ten squares of the fish wharf, and of persons whose business culls them to that locality, the insufferable smeil which, it is d, arises frem the entrails of fish, whica are allowed to remain longer than nec of 1 near by awaiting the placing of the refuse and offal upon it. A letter received today at The Star office states that “during the entire recent warm spell the people in that vicinity were treat- ed to the most abominable odor from de- cayed fish and fish entraiis, which were allowed to accumula on the fish wharf, and ‘that it is Impossible to find a place Within a radius of many squares of the place refe: d to that is not saturated and ted with this disease-spreading es- ‘ar reporter today visited the neigh- borhcod mentioned, and found a condition of affairs that was far from pleasant, but to obviate which the owners and Polleeman King, who does duty on the wharf, say every everything possible is done. In reference to the smell of last week, which, it is conceded, was more than usual. ly bad, Mr. King told the reporter that it was caused by the men on some of the scows throwing the offal into the river be- tween Washington and Alexandria, and at a point much nearer the city than is per- mitted by law. The result was that the incoming tide washed the decaying matter back toward this city, and hundreds of citizens got the benefit of the offensive smell for several days. The matter was, however, brought to the atter:tion of Harbormaster Sutton, and he has since constantly patrolled the river with the police boat in order to preven: a repetition of the offense. At the time The Star reporter was on the wharf the entrails of hundreds and perhaps thousands of fish were lying in. a heap about ten or fifteen feet in length and prob- ably nearly a foot in depth, and near by Was a scow, on which there was also a huge quantity of the same offensive stuff. In reply to questicns from the reporter, Mr. King said that the entire pile on the wharf had accumulated within about twen- ty minutes, and that it would in a short time be put on the scow, while in the course of an hour or so more a tug would arrive and take the scow dowm the river abe point where there is a fertilizer fac- Mr. King further said that the wharf is washed with a hose every evening, and that the utmost efforts are made by all concerned to keep away the smell. Conductors ind drivers of cars on the Belt line, with whom -the reporter con- versed, said the smell from the wharf is far worse at night {han it is in the day- time. It was noticed by, the reporter that each of four ladies’ wh had calied in a carriage to make a fisitat a residence on 1sth street, was holding her nose while she walked from the yehicle to the door of the house.

COURT ROOM CROWDED, BUT ORDERLY Nine Jurymen Secured Before Noon. HISTORY OF THE CRIME NEWPORT, Ky., April 21.—The trial of Scott Jackson for the murder of Pearl Bryan began before Judge Helm today. The court room was jammed in every quarter, but the utrost decorum was observed, and the pro- ceedings went on without any sort of inter- ruption. Twelve jurors were examined and six of them chosen. Then six more were called, and three of them chosen. Thus, before noon, nine jurymen were in the box. Of those excused, seven were on account of having formed an opinion, one on account of illness, and one because of scruples against capital punishment. It now ap- pears that the hearing of testimony may be- gin today. Murder of Pearl Bryan. The tale of Pearl Bryan's killing, with its incidents, rivals in horror the ex- travagances. of Poe. The hideousness of this crime is accentuated by the fact that all persons involved are young men of liberal education, considerable intellectual ability, and some pretensions as to station and social position. The unfortunate vic- tim of these monsters of blood-guiltiness was a young woman of culture and refine- ment. Fearl Bryan was killed on the night of Friday, January 31. The following morn- ‘Ing the headless body of a young woman was ford in a field in the Kentucky high- land opposite Circinnatl, about a mile south of Fort Thomas. The head has not yet been found. There was no clue but a check dress, a corset and one shoe. The shoe was the sole clue of value. It was traced to a Greencastle, Ind., dealer. Farmer A. B. Bryan, living near Green- castle, identified the shoe and dress as the property of his daughter, Pearl Bryan, who left home January 28 to go to In- dianapoiis to visit Mrs. Louisa W. Fisher of No. 75 Central avenue. She did not go there, but, as subsequently learned by the detectives working on the case, went to Cincinnati, where she met Scott Jackson. Pearl Bryan was the youngest of twelve children, of whom seven daughters and a son are still living. The girls all enjoy local celebrity for their good looks and their ac- ments. Pearl, the child of her ’ old age, was even handsomer t ters, and her education had 1 ed careful attention. In the neizhboraocod she was widely popular, She graduated from the Greencastle High School fcur years ago, and since that time had studied much at a college. In person she was sinall and graceful. Her beauty was of the pro- nounced blonde type. The Jackson family had {ts or!

He had taken into his confidence Alonzo Walling, a fellow student at the Cincin- nati Dental College. They had been at the Indianapolis institution together, and in the Onio town were room mates.’ The week before the girl came Jacksun had been reading up on poisons and their effect. He made special inquiry as to cocaine and prussic acid. Pearl Bryan at Cincinnatt. Monday Miss Bryan reached Cincinnati and weat to the Indiana House. She saw Jackson and Walling several times, and Wednesday went to Indianapolis, returning Friday, Friday night she met them at a saloon, whence they told her they would take her to a room they had provided, where she would be cared for. Their stories con- flict to such an extent that the truth can only be surmised. Jackson says Walling was responsible for the young woman's condition, and Walling asserts it was Jack- son. As to the fact, there ts iittle doubt Jackson was the author of her ruin. Each accuses the other of the principal share of the murder. It is believed no operation was ever intended. The Ride Into Kentucky. Taking ali the confessions and statements and circumstances into account, it is al- most a certainty that Jackson gave the girl twenty grains of cocaine in a glass of soda water when they were in the saloon. Walling had left them there together. Then the two took a carriage and were after- ward joined by Walling. They drove over to the Kentucky side of the river, near the point where the body was found. The girl was dying from the effects of the drug, but was still able to walk. They condacted her to a distance from the roadway, and, when the drug overcame her, they cut her head from her body with a razor wich Jackson had carried for that purpose. The girl's clothes--such of them as could be recognized—were taken from the body. Her satchel had been brought in the carslage. The girl did not know why she had been asked to bring it. The young men regarded it is a conven- fent receptacle for her head after they had Killed her. Leaving the mutilated corpse of the girl, the monsters of crime walked back to Cincinnati. They say they threw the clothes into the river. One of them says the head was cast into ihe Ohio also. The other says it was buried in a sand bar. Finding the Body. The day following the murder the body was found. If the murderers had nat dropp2d one of the dead girl's shoes they might have escaped discovery. Jackson and Walling were arrested in four days. They were almost enthusiastic in their at- tempts to fasten the crime on each other. The traveling bag In which the head had been carried was found where Jackson had left it, A pair of overshoes which one of them had worn was found. They were spotted with blood. The doings of both men from a week "before the murder up to the time of their arrest are thoroughly known to the police. i Miss Hollingsworth’s BogusConfession A peculiar feature of the case was Miss Lulu May Hollingsworth of Indianapolis, who made several confessions about having helped the students to perform an opera- tion, and about a colored man being hired to kill the girl. The detectives at last de- clared Miss Lulu to be a champion ro- mancer, and paid no further attention to er, the defense wilt try to prove that the killing was an accidental result of an at- tempt at an operation, which in Kentucky law is accounted only manslaughter.
