OVER FOUR THOUSAND TO CREDIT Increase M Yy Giviag An- other Result of Organisation, Aecordiag to Report of Exe ecutive Committee, ROCHESTER, N. Y., Dec. 3.—The report of the executive committee of the Student Volunteer Movement of Forelgn Missions, At present in session in this eity, sets forth that the primary and permanent function of the movement Is that of a recruiting agency seeking to enroll & sufficlent num- ber of well-qualified volunteers to meet the requirements of the mission boards of North America. The best evidence of the efficlency and power of the Student Volunteer Movement is the number of sailed volunteers. At the Toronto convention in 1902 it was reported that 780 volunteers had salled during the preceding four years. In the quadrennium following the Toronto convention and end- Ing with the Nashville convention In 1806 1,000 volunteers sailed. During the four years which have since elapsed, ending with the Roohester convefition, 1,28 volun- teers have salled, or nearly 300 more than for the quadrennium ending with the Nash- ville convention. The total number of volunteers who have sailed since the be- ginning of the movement in 1886 Is 4,346, Stadents More Liberal Givers. Another test of the rising tide Bf prac- tical missionary interest among students 18 the Increase In their missionary giving. At Nashville it was reported that the stu- dents of North America were contributing $50,000 @ year to missionary objects. They are now glving $127,000 a year toward such objects, or an Increase In four years of nearly 60 per cent. There are literally scores of colleges and schools each sup- porting entirely or In large part its own representative on the foreign field. The students of Yale head the list at present with their contribution last year of fully $10.00 to missionary objects. Among | women's colleges the students of Vassar made the largest contribution, having given last year 33,38, The last four years have heen a racord- breaking perlod In the promotion of mis- slon study among students. In the year preoeding the Nashville convention there were 1,49 mission study classes in institu- tions of higher learning in the United States and Canada. Last year there were 2,084. In the year before the Nashville con- vention the total number engaged in mis- sion study was 12,609. During the last year it was 2,208. The number has doubled in teers for Misston Fields. “The most fmportant concern of the Volunteer Movement and its friends,” says the report, “is to augment greatly, probably to double, the number of well- equipped volunteers who can in the im- mediate or near future press out to the mission fields. Today throughout the entire Far East, in all the principal parts of the Near Kast, such as Turkey and Russia} In Southern Asia, in the East Indles, throughout the larger part of the African continent, and even in parts of Latin America, the Christian Church faces nothing less than an acute and momentous crisls. This crisis can be met only by the sending out of a larger number thap are now . forthcoming of thoroughly capable and well furnished missionaries. ,On the home side we are subject to the growiag pressure of the expanding abllity of the church to send forth an army of workers, primarily as a result of the uprising of Christian lay- men In the Laymen's Missionary Move- ment, not to speak of the varlous For- ward Movements in some of the Christian commisions and of the very offective work of the Young People's Missionary Movement in the Sunday Schools and among the large numbers of other young people.” rtislike e Pollock Order Dr. Susan La Flesche Picotte Says Department is Merely Tempor- izing with Indians, WALTHILL, Neb, Dec. 30.—(Special Telegram.)—The latest decision of Assist- ant Commissioner of Indian Affairs Fréd H. Abbott to return A. G. Pollock, the Omaha Indian superintendent, temporarily untll the situation on the Omaha reserva- tlon quicts, has served to enliven matters considerably more here. When seen In regard to this latest move- ment, Dr. Susan LaFlesche Piccotte, on behalf of the Indians, made the following statement: “The Omaha Indians have had insult added to injury and naturally feel more resentful than ever over the recelpt of the latest special from Washington. They connot see wherein the Indian office has acceded to their demands for a Separate superintendent and the retention of A. G. Pollock. The Indian department should be beyond the dignity of a ruse and plainly shows it does not understand the intel- lectual status of the Omahas. Such an affront only increases the determination to cut loose from all departmental restric- tions."” BRIEF 1N T0BACCO APPEAL (Continued rrum First Page.) were expended in lhm way year of 1 The attorney general interprets the com- plaint as not merely directed to the ae- quisition and ownership of stocks or other property, but as agailnst the company's | operations in commerce, Monopoly Nearly Complete. “Competition has been persistently de- stroyed, scores of contracts have retired skilled men from the trade, many have | been forced out and the necessary result of the plan long followed has given de- | tendants power to exclude others and exer- | ctse monopoly.” | He seems inclined to the view that a reclever should be appointed for the busi- ness of the parties to the combination and he adas | “The very existence of certain defen- dants is criminal and certainly they can- not rightfully complain because restrained {from carrying out the unlawful purposes of their creation, they are willfully in posi- tions where every act is a transgression. in the single FIRE LOSSES IN UNITED STATES AND EUROPE Destruction of Property Here Over Five Times an Great on Per Oapita Bast NEW YORK, Dec. 3.—Every person in America, practically, sustained a fire loss of $2.58 in 1907, whercas the per capita loss in Europe for the same year was only cents.

The total fire loss In America In 1907, sald Mr. Tolman, was $216,000,000, and including the cost of up- keep of fire departments the loss in this country might be estimated at $500000,000 1f safety devices were used here e gen- erally as in Burope there would be an an nual saving of $360,000000, enough, as Mr Tolman put it, “to build a Panama canal every year.
