MAY BE A NEW CHURCH.
Prohibition Reformers Say Tbcy May
Start It with Dr. Bird as
Its Pastor.
It developed yesterday that the Pro
hibition church conference that lias
been In session In this city for several
days may result In tho permanent es
tablishment of a Prohibition church In
this city witli Rev. Dr. I,lvl Bird, of
AuUui ti,- X. .Y at Its head. Such was
proclaimed at a met: tine of the Wo
men's Christian Temperance union in
the afternoon in the AVllllama building
and which was attended by several of
the leading lights of the new move
ment. Addresses at the union meeting- were
made bv Elder J. "tt . Weils, or Chicago:
Elder J. C llogan, of Forest City;
Elder W. II. Guy, of Clevelxnd, and
Jtev. Dr. Livl Bird, of Auburn, N. Y.
They weic Introduced to the meeting
by Its chairman, Mrs. Frances Vail.
An incident was the song "Only a
Woman Votci," sung by Rev. T. I..
Weaver, of WeatlleM. Pa., to the tuno
of "Only an Armor Hearer."
Following the Bpeaclieis a number of
questions put to the centlemen were
n.iswercd and developed these fact''.
The Prohibition party has not answer
ed the purr use for which it was created
political ilghteousness Tho party
had lien ostraclstd by the church and
Prohibition had come to a standstill.
The new Prohibition church i for so
clal and religious righteousness a3 well
as peisonal ilghteousness.
V.. C. T. U. C1UTICJ&ED.
The Women's Christian Temperance
Union Is liiddiqunle, it was s lid, be
cause it was bound up In old churches
and old relUluus Institutions- so bound
up that it has lost the burning living
spirit of crusade. The union Is to
conservative for any adequate icforni
movement and will hae to be stlrrel
or else it will be characterized by only
its name.
Dr. Bird's talk especially outlined
the position of the new church. lie
fleiland that the church of God wa3
respomlbl" for and did crucify Christ,
nc moral refmm was ever accompllsh
iil by a political party unaided by te
liglous sentiment; no ill I6d church
ever brought about a moral or high
spiritual tefoiin; no social evil was
ever romoM-ri cscept by a combined
moial and Fp'iitual force.
The cum of $100 has aheady been
subscribed for a Prohibition church In
Scranton. Meeting! will be held In and
about the city for a week or moio and
If suthcient financial help Is pledged
tho church will be bturtt-J with Dr.
I31rd at Itb head. Last nlsht Messrs.

Hut for two absent witnesses District
Attorney Jones would have been able
to close the commonwealth's side of
the Kocdiler murder trial yesterday af
ternoon. Attachments wero issued
and tho wltnesses.lt Is cxpectcd.will be
on hand this morning and at 10 o'clock
the defense counts 'on making Us open
ing. The defense will plead for acquittal
on the ground of self-defense. It will
be claimed that Koehler went to tho
house the first time to arrest the Kc
ryckU and was driven a'ny by tho
boarding boss. He returned to 'Squire
McCormlck, who had issued the war
rant, and as the 'squire believed that
the victim of the assault which the
Keryckls had committed was In dan
ger of dying, Insisted that the arrests
should be made at once. Koehler
therepon summoned assistance and
went to execute the warrant. He and
his posse were assaulted by the
Keryckls and their fellow boarders and
a freo fight occuned. Keryckl knocked
Koehler down with a chair and was
in the act of hitting him again when
he drew his revolver and fired.
The Keryckl gang were not checked
by this and sooner than have further
bloodshed the officers decided to retire.
Constantlne Shuzlnskl wns the (list
witness called by the commonwealth
yesterday morning. Shuzlnskl was
the boatder who slept In- the same
room with the Keryckls. The firing of
the shot, he paid, woke him up. When
he arose he saw Koehler backing away
from Keryckl's bed and Keryckl gel
ting out of bed. Witness turned to
Koehler and said:' "What has hap
pened here?" Koehler said, "If you
don't keep still I'll shoot you." Then
witness covered up his head with the
quilt. When Koehler left, witness took
the cover from his head and behold
Keryckl daggering towards him.
Keryckl fell over on the bed where
witness lay and cried out, "Max Koeh
ler has shot me. Go, maybe you yill
catch him." Witness came' down
stairs and Keryckl followed. Keryckl
looked out the window nn(d asked,
"Have they, caught him yet?" and
then fell to the lloor. Ho died between
4 and 5 o'clock In the morning. On
cross examination he denied that any
one nssaultcd the officers before or
after the shooting.
SAID HE WOULD WAIT.
Tho next witness was Mrs. Alexan
dra Opanowlcz. wife of the boarding
boss. She testified that Koehler came
to the house the first time after 12
o'clock and went up stairs to the
Keiyckls room, but was dissuaded
from aiiosting- them for the reason
that they were very drunk and could
not t;et away during the night, even
If they tried. Koehler said he would
wait until daytime, but he came back
about '2 o'clock with four other officers
and broke in. Witness tried to pro
vent them from going up, but Koehler
pushed her aside and she fell to the
floor. Koehler had something that
looked like a revolver in his hand,
when ho enteied the house. They had
just got up stairs when she heaid the
shot 111 cd and in a moment the officers
came down In a hurry, Koehler lead
ing the way with his hat In one hand
and the levolver In the other. The
boarders were all aroused by the shot
and they started In pursuit of Koeh
ler but did not overtake him.
Frank Opanowlcz, th'e boarding bos3,
gave substantially the same testimony
ns bis wife, insi.stlng that Koehltr was
not icslsted the llrst tlmo he came to
tho house and retired of his own will,
agreeing to wait until thtr next day
to make the arrest
John Rusinskl, one of tho boarders,
corroborated this testimony and fur
ther described that when Koehler went
up stair? on his lirst visit ho tiled to
arouse John Keryckl and falling to do
so shook his head and went away
paying he would eomo in the morning
when Ms man would have recovered
from his drunken stupor. Joseph Chu
terrich, another boaider, testified that
he knew nothing of Koehler's first visit
and that theiv was no disturbance at
that time as far as he knew. He also
described the second visit of Koehler
substantially the saras as had the pre
vious witnesses.
KOEHLEU MADE THHEATS.
Mrs. Ani.ie Harwin, of Priceburg,
testified thj.t on election day Keryckl
had some bother with some man and
her husband went ball for Keryckl.
At the alderman's office- Max Koehler
said to her:
"Ann. you just wait a while end
you will seo Keryckl hhot."
"Who will shoot him?" she asked.
''I will," answered Koehler.
"What for?" asked witness.
"Oh," answered Koehler, "I'm only
vtalklng In fun."
On cross-examination It wao brought
out that the Harwin woman was one
time piosecuted for resisting arrest by
Koehler.
"It's hard to find anybody up there
that Koehler hatn't arrested," mum
bled Mr. Jones.
"Now, Mi. Jones," said Mr. Horn,
with much" feellni;, "we don't, want,
any more such remarks from you In
the presence of the jury."
Mlehnel Dvorak testified that he met
Koehler on the road shortly before the
killing. He asked KoehUr If he was
going back to Opanowlch's again.
Koehler said yes.
"Have yuii made peaco with those
people?" meaning the Keryckls, asked
the witness.
"You wait and you will hoar of mo
making peace with them was Koeh
ler'? answer.
'On motion of Mr. Horn this testimony
was all strkkou out as It did not come
up to the offer.
Michael Jaroszcl'skl tcstlllcd that ho
heard Michael Mutcovitch tell Koehler
to go home, just before the killing,
and that Koehler answered that ha
wouldn't so home till he had killed
'ono of those 'i
Mr. Horn brought out on cross-examination
that Jaroszchskl was errest
ed by Koehler about two years ago
for rioting.
WAS VERY DELIP.EnATE.
Michael Woslczl, another boarder at
Oponowicz's, was awakened by tho
policemen coming up tho stalre. He
followed them as far as 'the door or
the room whero Keryckl was arleep,
Koehler went direct to Keryckl's "bed,
took him by the hand, raised him up
nnd shot him.
Then ho backed out of the room with
tho revolver still In his hand. Wit

HE DIED NEGLECTED.
Unusual Case of Suffering Is Brought
to the Attention of the Asso
ciated Charities.
Mis. W. B. Duggan, agent of the
Board of Charities, in her monthly re
port at last night's meeting brought
to notice a most extraoidlnary cnte.
It was that of Felix MtGowan, of 10"6
James street, Little England, who died
two weeks ago last Filday. Before
his death the man had been sick seven
weeks, and the last thtee of his life
were spent without medical attention
or care. He was neglected to the ex
tent that his surroundings were so
filthy that a strong person could not
remain lone in the room.
The case was brought to Mrs. Dug
gan's attention by a neighboring wo
man. Dr. Bernstein attended McGow
an once or twice. AVhen Mrs. Duggan
visited the house McGowan was gone
beyond physlclal redemption.
There Is to be Issued a warrant today
for the an est of Michael Gibson,
who goes around begging money
to enable him to purchase an ar
tificial leg. He drinks the money he
thus secuies and makes It very uncom
fortable for his neighbors on the West
Side. His wife has a capacity equal
to his own for alcoholic absorption
and for disturbing the peace.
Mrs. Duggan reported the case of
William Newey, who Is well known to
the police for his unthrifty habits and
abuse of his family. He couldn't he
cure work recently and applied to the
poor board for relief. He accepted the
hospitality of the poor farm and left
his w Ife and several children to shift
for themselves. He soon got tlied of
the faun and returned to the city He
was sent to Jail for non-suppoit nnd
there he was completely and Irretriev
ably spoiled by borne women visitors
to the Jail who sympathized with him
for having such nn unaffectlonate wife.
NEE.DS POLICE ATTENTION.
A motion vas passed to have Rev.
Mr. Israel notify Mayor Bailey that
the habitation of Mrs. Ann Clulsto
pher, at 503 North Ninth stieet, needi
attention from the police. The noto
rious Kate O'Neill makes her domicile
there. Mis. Christopher has four lit
tle daughters, the oldest about 12. and
these children and six or seven men
are oftentimes huddled nsleep In the
same room. Mrs. Christopher keeps
lodgers and always has herself sur
rounded with very undesirable char
acters. Mr. Kinsley, for the employment
committee, repotted that the paving of
Mulberry" stieet will give work to a
good sized number, but not anywhere
to as many ns are seeking it. He said
the demand for work Is gieatly In ex
cess of the supply.
The boxes placed In various places
about the city arc not all yielding veiy
great leturns-. Those In Zlegler's cafe,
the Excelsior club rooms.ut In the
Hotel Jermyn are the only ones of
any trreat revenue. The summary of
Mrs. Duggan's report was that 63 cases
weie visited, 43 were found worthy,
and 12 unworthy. Miss Klesjl, tho
nurse, reported that she attended to
six cases.
Colonel Ripple preMded and T. J.
Kelly acted as secietary in the ab
sence of Rev. Mr. Israel. The other
members present were J. R. Cohen,

SECOND DAY OF
THE INSTITUTE
Instructors Who Spoke to the City
Teachers at Yesterday's Sessions.
SOME SECTIONAL WORK DONE
Thoio Attending the Institute Were
Divided According to tho Grades in
Mhlcli They Teach nnd Listened lo
Instruction Appropriate to tho
Work They Aro lounged In--Chic
Virtues Discussed by Prof. Twit
mcr, of llethlchcm.
Yesterday the city public school
teachers, now convening for a week's
Instruction at the high school build
ing, were divided Into classes for spe
cial Instruction. There were three
classes: Grammar grade, taught by
S. Y. Glllan In one class room; Inter
mediate grade. Miss Virginia Voor
hees, In another room, nnd primary
grade, Miss Margaret McCIoskey, in
the main auditorium.
The morning session was opened,
with prayer by Rev. Thomas do
Gruchy, pastor of the Jackson Street
Baptist church. As It wns uncomfort
ably cold In the auditorium, Superin
tendent Howell advised tho teachers
sitting on tho left side of tho auditor
ium to move to the center. Dr. Bernard
Blgsby wns the first to nddiess tho
teachers. He spoke In a very beautiful
way on "Language." Using allegory
he led tho Institute down Lunguage
street In which ho represented on ono
side tlueo palaces, magnificent and
grand, and on the other three poveity
stricken huts. In the palaces live
princes and tho tongue they speak Is
best described by the word "Aggluti
native," the tongue In which the wouls
aro "glued" together; It Is the Inn
gunge of evolution. In the huts on the
other side the tongue used Is the mon
osyllabic speech, the language that
keeps the occupant forever In poverty.
The three grand tongues aro the Amer
ican, the Semitic, the Aryan. By Am
erican he did not mean tho language
spoken at Boston, New York, Scranton,
teachers' Institutes and other centers
of civilization; he meant the language
of the Red Indian, the beautiful lan
guage of Hiawatha-
CIVIC VIRTUES.
After Dr. Blgcby, Professor Georgo
W. Twitmycr, of Bethlehem, Pa., for
merly o tho Honesdale high school,
spoke on "Civic Virtues." He ex
pressed tho belief that the schools
fully conform to social nnd lndustilal
life. The address was full of thought.
A recess of fifteen minutes was taken
after Professor Twitinyer's talk. Af
ter singing, the Institute wns lesumed,
Profesosr Gillon speaking on eye train
ing. His method is very practical. He
had the teachers themselves test their
powers of eye perception. Gteek
wolds were written on the blackboard
and the meaning told to the teachers.
They weie then called upon to dis
tinguish them by the eye.
The section work In the afternoon
was begun at 2 o'clock. Miss Mc
Clo3ke's talk on "Child Training" in
the auditorium was Just as inteie&ting
tin her previous talks have been. She
suggested that tho te.icheis form
mothers' clubs In the city, the purposo
nf which shall bo to ertoournge the
pfiidy of child life. Ono club, said Miss
McCIoskey, Is in operation at Watren,
Ta., and is buceessful beyond all ex
pectation. USE OF THE GLOBE.
Profcsoi Glllan, In the class room,
spoke to the gmnimar grades on the
use of the globe for purposes other
than the teaching of mathematical geo
graphy. In questioning- the teacheis
ho found th.it out of 21 present, 7
thougnt Ttxns was larger than Aus
tialla; and again they believed Penn
sylvania to be larger than Madagascar,
and neatly all Slid that Lake Superior
Is lnrser than the Caspian sea, all of
whkh Piofessor Gi'.an proved was
wrong. The teachois also thought that
St. Petersburg1 Is older than New York
city, which is wiong. New Yoik Is the
oldei. These erroneous inipiet.sIons,
thought Professor Gillan, are the re
bult of larger maps for Amuica than
are used for tho Eastern continent.
Miss Vooihees conducted Intel estlng
clafe. work In the lntei mediate grades.
The sesblmi in the auditorium began at
:s o'clock, and besides the teachers
theio weie several visitors present.
After singing, led by Superintendent
Howell, Profetor Twltmyer delivered
his uddresb, "Th Rights of Children."
He stated that his addicsa would not
bo from a scientific point of view and
In introducing his subject ho tald that
there was no timo in the world's his

church, the schorl, nnd tho philan
thropists sire endeavorlnu to benefit
child life. Professor Twitmycr Is a
master at cplgtnm and his address
vvos Interlarded with forcible meta
phors nnd beautiful sentiment.
RIGHT TO BE WELL LORN.
His first proposition was that n child
has "the right to bo well born." Under
this head Professor Tivltmycr spoke
some plain truths In a freo nnd un
constrained wnv. He said:
"Every child has a right to be born
well. It fhould be given the right kind
of start end not handicapped." Pro
fessor Twitinyer's second point was
that tho child la entitled to a happy
childhood and he held the teachers un
der obligation for the happiness of tho
children. They should bo taken care of
and not always found fault with.
"Formation Is better than reforma
tion," wns ono of Professor Twltmycr's
strong phrases, and "No man hus a
right to cast a shadow acioss tho path
of a child." He referred to some boys
In school who are Ignorant of religion
as "empty hearted boys." "For some
boys," hu said, "there seems to be no
standing room In this woild. It's 'get
out! here and 'get out!' there." An
other epigram: "Some boys nnd girls
ore spiritually outcasts, mentally beg
gais and sympathetically orphans."
Ho asked the teachers to support them.
In speaking of religion In the schools,
Professor Twitmycr gave utterance to
tho following sentiment: "A child has
a light to a religious education. When
ho Is taught we should cllmlnnte all
doctrines, creed and nny and every pe
culiar church on which not all of the
human family can stand." Ho made
the startling statement that, In his
opinion, one-half of the school children
In Pennsylvania ate spiritually impov
erished. PROFESSOR RURDICK HEARD.
After Professor Twitmycr nn address
was delivered by II. L. Burdlek, one of
the teachers, who spoke In the Inter
ests of tho Teachers' Mutual Benefit
association. Professor Burdlck's effort
wns very graceful and may lead to
good results.
The afternoon session closed with a
ten-minute address by Professor Geo.
P. Bible, of Stroudsburg State iormnl
school. Professor Bible is a favorite
with Scranton teacheis, and his recep
tion was quite as generous as Super
intendent How-ells' cordial Introduc
tory speech. He had read In the high
school paper, which reaches him at
Stroudsburg, that the pupils wero re
heat sing for the performance of "Juli
us Caesar." lie commended this ns a
very good way to create a liking for
tho higher literature. He said that
there was no better medium of obtain
ing an Intelligent idea of a literary
ct cation than by an active presentation
of the living characters. Professor
Bible will continue his talk this morn
ing. .
