And the central thought running through the addresses was, “‘What Is the practical busi- ness way to do practical work In gospel sowing throughout the non-Christian world 2" The aifficulties and sufforings—the joy and victories of the forelgn field—these had been told in recitals that gripped the souls of the listeners. Now came the practical application of a method of distribution and supply to meet the newvd. So far as the local district is concerpd, this was em- bodied In the following report made by the co-operative committee: . “Whereas, The Omaha convention of the Laymen's Missionary movement has awak- ened a strong, and, we belleve, a perma- nent interest among the men of Omaha and those outside of Omaha included in convention, and a determination to do mlr part now In the work of “The Evan- gelization of the World in This Geeration, " and “Whereas, It is vitally important that the enthusiasm aroused and the great in- terest created should result In immediate, practical work, therefore, be it “Resolved: “1.

DES MOINES, Ia, March 19.—(8pecial Telegram.)—The crisis In affairs of the state institutions was reached today when Chairman John CoWnle of the Board of ontrol tendered to Governor Corroll his resignation to take effect April 6 next, when he shiall have completed twelve years on the board. The immediate cause was the trouble at the Mitchellville Girls' school. A riot broke out and Miss Garrison, the superintendent, told the governor the fault was with Chalrman Cownle, who had not approved the methods of discipline and re- straint at the chool. The governor took the matter in hand and the resolution for rigld rules adopted. As a result the other two members of the board, one of whom was appointed by Governor Carroll, and the ‘other, whese term will expire under Carroll's adminis- tration, ordered that Mr. Cownle should not 0 to the Mitehellville school. Mr. Cownle could not approve of their position, nor continue to work with his assoclates and so resigned. In fact the fight to oust Cownle had been going for more than a 'year and a great effort was made in the legisiature to lay a foundation for ousting him: Thefe were no ‘against Cownle offer than his methods Wwere, too lenfent with the state's wards. It Is regarded as probable that Forrest-Treat,"present secretary of the board will be appointed. More Strikers Return to Work Sympathy Movement in Philadelphia Now Seems to Be Wearing Ttself Out.

This evidently was some time in 1906, but just when In that year dves not \atisfactorily appear, The evi- dence does pot show that the Mefendant Goddard was at any time thereafter en- gaged in any conspiracy such as charged in | the indictment. As to the defendant God- ¢hrd, the government must show to your satisfaction and beyond a reasonable doubt that what the defendant Goddard did was subsequent to September 23, 196, because and for the reason that three years is, the period of the statute of limitations and the indictment hereln was returned September 3, 180, 3438 As to Mr. Goddard. “Therefore, unless you find that Goddard was connected with a conspiracy subse- quent to September 23, 1906, he is entitleq to an acquittal. .
