ton, presented the report of the spec
ial committee named yesterday to con
sider combining all the activities of

tee.
2. That this committee be know as
the committe of Synold’s work.
3. That this committee consist of
r five of the synod at large,
I and of one member from each of the
. present committees of synod.
, 4. That the present committees be
, used as subsidiary committees to tlje
( general committee.
L 6. That this combined committee

meeting of the synod, and bring in a

tions of committee work, to suggest
, how to coordinate these activites;
curtail expense of management 7 and
present any other plans they think
will forward synod’s work.
s 6. The committee be empowered to
elect an executive secretary and such
assistants as he needs.
The report was vigorously discussed,
but finally an amendment offered by
Dr. C. M. Richards, of Davidson to
appoint these members named in the
report as an ad interim committee to
consider the question and report to
the next synold, was adopted.
Religious Education.
The report of Religious Education
was presented by Rev. T. G. Tate, of
Gastonia. This report shows that
there are 67,426 pupils in our Sunday
schools of which 1,590 joined the
church during the year. Forty-one
daily vacation Bible schools were held
in the synod this summer in which
2,500 pupils were gathered. There
were 25 training schools held for
teachers during the year under the
supervision of Mr. Claude T. Carr,
the superintendent of Religion Edu
cation in the synod. Credits, given
in these schools, 1,818.
During June the annual young peo
ple’s conference was conducted at
Davidson College attended by 411
young people. And in all the pres
byteries echo conferences were con
ducted. |
Presbyterian Sttdents In State Insti
tutions.
Dr. E. B. Gillespie, superintendent
of home missions, whose office is in
Greensboro, said that we have 900
young men and women in State schools
at Greensboro, Chapel Hill, State Col
lege at Raleigh, and Greenville who
are from Preshiyterian homes. This
is fifteen per cent, of the whole num
ber of student. At Greensboro, a
paid worker, a young woman works
with the 200 Presbyterian girls. At
Chapel Hill the pastor is supported
largely by synod funds, which also is
tnw at Raleigh, where a new church
has been established near State Col
lege.
The Orphanage at Barium Springs.
Dr. R. A. White, Mooresville,
made the report on the orphanage.
The report shows that the synod had
contributed $98,500 to this work, com
ing as follows: From the churches,
$48,000; from the Sunday echools,
$12,500; from the personal gifts and
so forth, $38,000. There are 355 chil
dren in the institution. The budget
of the orphanage is $107,000. They
are $44,733 in debt. Only $24,500
has come in thus far in the last six
months, or half the synod’s year.
Dr. tVhite introduced Joseph B.
Johnston, manager of the orphanage,
who addressed the synod. Mr. Johns
ton made a stirring appeal for better
support to this largest enterprise of
the synod. It has the look of pros
perity, and many neglect the institu
tion for that reason. Said Mr. Johns
ton, “If we were growing weeds in
our lawns, instead of flowers, and if
the shingles were dropping out of our
roof, you would have pity on us.”
The report of the committee was
adopted, and the overture of Concord
Presbytery was adopted that one Sun
day in April be set aside as Orphanage
Day for a special offering in addition
to the budget and the gifts from Sun
day schools and on Thanksgiving Day.
It was also moved that some relief
be given to Mr. J. B. Johnston in so
liciting funds for the orphanage so he
may devote the most of his time to
administration work at the institu
tion. "
The committee of bills and over
tures report was being considered
when synod adjourned for lunch to re
convene at 2 o’clock. Synod will
ably adjourn till next year this eve
ning.
RICHARDS FIRES
STAR DETECTIVE
Revokes Commission of W. W. Rogers
Without Giving Explanation.
Columbia, Oct. 3.—Governor Rich
ards this afternoon revoked the com
mission of W. W. Rogers as a state
constable and detective. ’
Rogers has in recent weeks been
serving as state detective without
compensation from the government.
He left the governor’s staff of detec
tives during the summer when the
chief executive did not reappoint him,
but on recommendation of the Rich
land county delegation, Rogers was
given a commission on a non-pay
basis.
He has, since leaving the gover
nor’s staff, conducted a private de
tective agency here. The governor
said that .he bad no statement to
make with regard to the revocation
of the commission.
This, the governor has indicated,
appeared as an effort to embarrass
him in connection with the case.
HUGGINS READY TO
GAMBLE ON YOUNG
PITCHER IN GAME
, With One Victory to Cred
it of Yankees Manager
k Sends Pigras to Mound
in Second Big Battle.
ALDRIDGE THE
HOPE OF CREW
: He Will Work Against the
Yanks and Experts Be-
N Heve He Will Give Them
Mound Trouble.
(Speeilal to The Tribune.)
Forbes Field, Pittsburgh, Oct. 6. —
| After dropping the first game of the
World Series to the Yankees largely
because his team failed to function
■up to its real class, Donie Bush
marshalled his forces here today to
“do or die” in the second contest.
Vic Aldridge, picked by experts
oyer the country as the one Pirate
stinger likely to give the Yankees
most trouble in the series, warmed
up slowly and confidently. Realizing
that it was up to him to bring tne
Corsairs back to par before the con
testing teams entrain for the Yanxee
Stadium, the blonde righthander was
• out to show Ruth, Gehrig et al mors
twisting curves than they have seen
in many a day. Johnny Gooch was
behind the bat when the teams took
the field, replacing “Oil” Smith, who
made a costly error in yesterday’s
melee.
George Pigrass, inexperienced in
World Series competition, but con
sidered by Manager Huggins as the
homing star right-hander of the
[ American League, was annoupced as
' the New York mound selection. The
■ former South Atlantic leaguer earned
his right to start this "snie by tum
, ing in four brilliant exhibitions in
, the final month of the regular Ameri
can League season.
Most of the attention was again
, centered on Babe Rath and Lon
. Gehrig of the Yankees and on the
( Waner brothers of the home club.
Speculation was rife as to which, if
’ either, of the four would have the
highest batting percentage when the
final game has been played. Several
bets werj made on the number of
series games that Wiley Moore and
his famous “sinker” r- ild see action.
It is generally thong™ that Huggins
will call on his relief ace in every
■ gam* that Ms starting hnrier begins
to wabble it crucial moments.
Benny Bengough was named as
Pifrgras’ battery mate.

Three runs, four hits, one error.
Pipgras To Pitch.
Pittsburgh, Oct. 6.—C4 3 )—Finding
himself in a position to gamble, as the
result of the Yankees’ 5 to 4 victory
over the Pittsburgh Pirate in the open
ing game of the Worlds Series, Man
ager Miller Huggins today crossed
experts by naming George Pipgras to
pitch for the Yankees iir the second
game.
The' New York manager, who is
always willing to take a chance when'
he can afford it, in nominating Pip
gras threw the burden on the broad
shoulders of a young pitcher who had
performed nobly during the regular
season.
Another. Day of Sunshine.
Pittsburgh, Oct. 6.— UP)— Weather
conditions today forecast an
other day of bright sunshine for the
second game of the Worlds Series be
tween the Pittsburgh Pirates and the
New York Yankees. There was a fog,
but the *un could be seen trying to
break through the mists.

[ Dr. Davidson, an Alienist,
l Will Take Stand For De
fense.—Admits He Mar
ried Woman in Ohio.
Charlotte, Oct. 6.—C4 3 ) —Asserting
* that he had no recollection of ever
' having married Mrs. Emma Langridge
1 Jordan, formerly of Washington, but
1 that she had suggested matrimony to
J him in a letter, the Rev. Willis T.
Jordan testified in his own trial on
* charge of bigamy in Superior Court
* here today, related a story of his life,
I during which he said he had had sev
, eral lapses of memory.
[ The minister, who ie alleged to have
[ married Mrs. Landridge-Jordan in
1 Charlotte last August, while he bad
s a living and undivorced wife, took
5 the witness stand as the first of two
1 defense witnesses expected to be in
is troduced immediately after the state
t- had closed its case. The state was
> saved a wait 1 for witnnesses from Vir
-3 ginia and West Virginia to prove that
Jordan had married Mrs. Veasey V.
1 Ware-Snyder-Jordan in Akron, 0., in
* 1926 when the defense admitted the
s marriage after Judge Webb had
s barred certified copies of Akron rec
* ordß.
! The minister told how, soon after
* he had called on Mrs. Landridgo after
meeting her at the home of her daugh
-1 ter in Washington, he had suffered
from lapse of memory. When he re
alized his surroundings, he said, he
1 was in Fort Smith, Ark. Asked what
1 he did when he recovered, he said:
“I went at once to my wife (Mrs.
; V. V. Jordan) where my place was.
“I do not remember this marriage
' which they, say I contracted with this
woman,” Jordan testified of his Char
! lotte marriage.
“I was suffering from amnesia at
the time this marriage was said to
have taken place. When I came to
myself I was in Chester, S. C., and
1 this woman told me I had married
her in Charlotte.” CJ
, Jordan said he remonstrated with
the woman, and tried to get her to
leave him. “She refused to leave,”
, he said, “clinging to me like a leech.”
v He said he had called on Mrs.
Langridge at the home of her daugh
ter in Washington on July 19th, af
ter receiving a letter from her invit
ing him to call. She wrote, Jordan
testified, that she had secured his
name from a religious publication and
. a matrimonial bureau.
Soon after this call, Jordan testi
. fied, that his memory failed and he
recovered in Fort Smith.
Going into his disappearance from
Columbus, Ga., which at first was
; heralded as a kidnapping by masked
men, Jordan said he left “principally
i to get away from that woman, who
* clung to my neck like a leech.”
“Two masked men came to my
house in Columbus,” he said. “They
were friends of the minister I had
replaced, and they told me if I valued
my life I would leave at once.”
He said Mrs. Langride-Jordan
urged him to pay no attention to the
men and to remain, but that he “left
with dispatch” going to Grand Rap
ids.
Going into the question of the first
letter he received from Mrs. Lan
gridge in Washington, the minister
said she described herself rather fully
and broached the subject of matri
mony.
“I did not,” Mrs. Langridge-Jor
dan exclaimed from her seat in the
court room.
Charlotte, Oct. 6.— (JP) —Admissions
of a previous Carriage by attorneys
for the Willis T. Jordan, and
barring records from Akron, Ohio, of
the same marriage marked rapid prog
ress made in Superior Court here to
day in the trial of Jordan on a charge
of having contracted a bigamous mar
riage with Mrs. Emma Langridge of
Washington, D. C.
Immediately after the admission of
the marriage of the minister to Mrs.
Veasey V. Ware-Snyder-Jordan, of
Winding Gulf, W. Va., the state rest
ed its case, although several witnesses
expected here from ViVgina and West
Virginia had not arrived.
The defense immediately swore Dr.
J. E. S. Davidson an alienist, and the
defendant as witnesses.

General Hector Almada, former

several guests and regular boarders
occupying the holstelry for the night
and when the fire was discovered the
building was enveloped in flames and
the dining room and kitchen were
falling in.
Reynolds Mcßride, of Greensboro,
was a guest of the hotel for the night
and was rescued from - his room by
Frank King in an unconscious condi
tion at the risk of his life, making a
second trip to Mcßride’s room on the
second floor of the building. He was
removed to a nearby residence and
finally revived and is now suffering
from the shock and the effect of the
inhaled smoke.
The hotel was of frame construction
and built in 1896 by John W. Tew.
A few months ago it was sold to Mack
L. Roberts. The losses are estimated
to be $5,000, with only $3,500 in
insurance.
The building has recently been re
novated and completely refurnished
by the present owner and no insurance
was carried on the furnishings, which
are a total loss. The town is now
without any hotel and it is not known
what plans the owner is making for
the future. u t
Only a few weeks ago the citizen
ship of the town voted down the bond
issue for a complete water system in
the town, which would have given fire
protection, and last night’s fire made
obvious the needs for fire protection
and water in the town.
The fire was confined to the hotel
building as a result of the wet condi
tion of the surrounding buildings from
the steady downpour of rain that had
been blown by high winds and were ■
thoroughly drenched.
Efforts are now being made to ob
tain a Carnegie medal for Frank King
for risking his life to save the strang
er. It is conceded that Reynolds
Mcßride owes his ilfe to the fearless
ness and daring of Frank King, who
brought his body out unaided from
the room in which the embers then
were falling and enveloped in flames.
