milTEO-PREACHER I0U WORK IN GERMAHY
Berlin Sept 28— The perennial
subject of tbe scarcity of clergymen
has recently been enlivened by some-
body’s suggestion that wounded offi-
cers w-ho are no longer able to serve
at the front take up the study of
theology To thiW proposal however
the objection is raised that the "office
of a clergyman requires spiritual en-
dowments seldom found in oflcers
else they would never have yielded
to their desire to become officers"
Meanwhile the scarcity of clergy-
men is growing greater and is expect-
ed to become still more pronounced
It is mentioned'’ that’ the sons ' of
clergymen no longer choose the min-
istry as their calling to the same ex-
tent as some -years ago -Fifteen
years ago ‘there were still 344 cler-
gymen’s sons studying theology at
World Series -Catching
Department W ell Matched
By Associated Press
New York Oct 6 — Offensively and
defensively there appears to be little
advantage for either the Boston
American or the Philadelphia Nation-
als in the catching departments in
the coming world’s series Both the
Red Sox and tbe Phillies have a trio
of backstops who are far above the
ordinary in ability in this particular
feature of the game The American
league champions in Manager Carri-
gan Cady and Thomas have three
experienced catchers who are thor-
oughly at home behind the plate and
familiar with every detail of the po-
sition Kiilifer is the veteran of the
Phillies catching force but Burns has
shown during the past season that
he is not far behipd his chief in all-
round ability while Adams the third
string catcher is a youngster who in
his few try-outs has given promise of
measuring up to the standards set
by his two superiors in the near fu-
ture ’
t While experience counts for much
in the woik behind the frlate it is
not always the veterans who shine in
the big baseball series If this were
the case the Americans would have a
wide margin' of reserve strength
since Carrigan and Cady both figured
prominently in the famous eight-
game strugle between the Giants and
the Red Sox in 1912 whereas none
of the Phillies’ catchers have figured
for the premier pennant of the dia-
mond game Thus it can be seen so
far as experience is concerned the
Red Sox have Carrigan and Cady to
the Phillies Kiilifer Burns and
Thomas are about equal In this re-
spect while Moran’s third eligible is
an unknown quantity

clergymen
to eery 100000
but by 1912 the unmber

had already dropped to 283 It is
said that owing to the lack of clergy-
men many churches In villages are
being attached to others In larger
towns after which they have oc-
casional services held hy the clergy-
men from those more important
churches Not only is the tendency
of young men to choose other cal-
lings than the ministry but even
those' who choose it show a marked
inclination later on to switch off Into
something else It is noted that
nearly one-third of the regular
school inspectors in Prussia are for-
mer clergymen and not a few minis-
ters also have abandoned their cal-
ling to take positions in teachers’
seminaries - ’ - i

lifer has caught a majority of the
games'1 played hy the Phillies this
year with Burns filling in as- emer-

baated 247 while Burns has hatted
one point above Killifer’s average
and fielded four points below Adams

play for the pennant
For Boston Thomas and Cady have
done the major part of the hackstop-
ping although Manager Carrigan has
hiyidled the delivery of the left hand
ers from time to time Cady is the
best of the trio if judgment can bS
based on the season’s unofficial aver-
ages In something over seventy
games he has batted 277 and fielded
976 Thomas in about an equal num-
ber of games has fielded 971 and
batted 239 Carrigan has received
credit for playing' in a little more
than half the number of games that

the best efforts of the police and de-

mystery surrounding the murder of
Judge William S Knowles remains
as Impenetrable as it was immediately
after the jurist was shot to death jn
broad daylight within sight of his
home one month ago today A month
of unceasing tvork has failed to bring
to light the slightest clue that might
lead to the' identity of the murderer
At first the authorities were Inclined
to believe that the crime was an act
of revenge ‘committed by some one
who perhaps lisd beeu sentenced to
punishment by the jurist in the course

George Morris for Killi’ng of Smith
The serious illness of Judge C E
Dudley’s father in law Mr Jordan
at Antlers called the jurist from
the midst of the trial of cases of the
October term of the district court
The judge left this afternoon for tbe
bedside of Mr Jordan
This morning he heard the trial
of Toney Riley who was charge with
the theft of a domestic animal They
progressed as far as the selection of
a jury which evidently did not look
good to Toney He pleaded guilty
instanter and was acoijded a sen-
tence of two years in the penitentiary
S J Cooter pleaded guilty to steal-
ing meat from Judge Everidge last
spring The 'court assessed two years
in the penitentiary against onev Coot-er-
The trial of George Morris was
next on the docket and it was set to
begin at 1:30 Knowing that hewould
have to go to Antlers the court asked
the state and the attorneys for the
defense to agree upon a special judge
Agreement was quickly bad upon J M
Willis and he will hear the trial of
George Morris for the killing last
winter ofW I Smith Works and
Copping defending him and the state
will be represented by R K Warren
and B D Jordan’ At press time the
Jury was being selected and it looked
as if it wonld soon be’ chosen
Albert Brown out ‘on ball is also
charged with the murder He is not
charged With firing the fatal shot
but with being accessory It is quite
likely that the case against him will
be dismissed
FAVOR ANTI- WAR CREED
Pittsburgh Oct 6 — A declaration of
principles opposed to war accompan-
ied by a list of specific recommenda-
tions for the maintenance of world
peace will be presented for consid-
eration and approval at the annual
session of the Pittsburgh M E Con-
ference which assembled in Christ
church here today ‘ The declaration
represents three months’ work by &
special committee of ministers and
forms the first step of a world-wide
movement among Methodist Episco-
pal churches to write into the dis-
cipline of the church an objection
to w'arfare It is expected the declar-
ation will be approved by the Pitts-
burgh conference and then submitted
to the general conference to be held
at ’Saratoga Sptings next Maya
that Judge ICnowleS had been paying
attention to several women at the
ann time and that each had believed
herself engaged to the ' handsome
bachelor judge the Investigators
turned to the theory that a love af-
fair might have been at the bottom
of the crime But every endeavor tv
find evidence on which to sub-
stantiate such a theory has been
as futile as the earlier efforts
to establish a desire for revenge 'as
the motive for the crime The de-
tectives confess themselves complete-
ly baffled and apparently the mur-
