Olmslead Tells of Missionary Work in Burm.x The January meeting of the Mid- West Itinerant club was held yesterday at the local Y. M. C. A. The meeting was called to order by the chairman, Rev.

Quincy R. Wright, of Centennial M. E. church, Rockford. The first speaker of the program was Dr.

H. H. Hough, pastor of the Embury M. E. church, who gave a most valuable and lucid summary of T.

Glover's recent book "The Apostle Paul," He was followed by Rev. Clarence E. Olmstead, of Burma, who for the past fifteen years has been a missionary, a district superintendent, and is now president of a theological school in Burma. Rev. Mr.

Olmstead told very vividly how the native Buddhist "eagerly and hopefully listened to the message of the white man who came to tell him of Jesus Christ." He showed that "while his native religion may be able to give him some peace and comfort, it is so tragically insufficient in some things as to make absolute necessary the Christian religion. "The Buddhist," he said, "has nothing to say for accumulated sin. It is a dead weight. We preach the forgiveness of sin which is happily received by him." The February meeting of these Methodist ministers will be held on Feb. 17th, instead of Feb.

C. A. Secretary Speaks at Kiwanis Meeting Norman C. Sleezer, secretary of Freeport Y. M.

C. was the speaker at the weekly Kiwanis luncheon held today at Hotel Freeport and addressed the members informally on the subject of "The Human Machine." His remarks dealt principally with the indulgence along gastronomic lines and he informed his hearers that much of the ill health apparent on every hand is more or less directly traceable to over-eating. He said that in a recent survey taken in one thousand offices, factories, stores and other centers of daily life it was found that 781 of this number were in some way afflicted with ill health due to having partaken of either too much food at their meals or eating too hurriedly. The speaker stated that tuberculosis, formerly heading the list of diseases in the death rate column, now ranks seventh, with heart disease causing more deaths than any other to lack of moderation and too little exercise. Mr.

Sleezer's talk was a plea for more sanity in eating and moderation in other things which would tend to improve health and prolong life. YTwTcTT. of sixty. mea Jii speaking of her Mr. Grub said i council Independent Order of Odd "she will probably make a lemon i Pf llows which meets here Oct.

Dunning, was abducted by a gang of alleged liquor racketeers, here early today and was found in the south end "of the city an hour and a half later, badly beaten and wandering about in a daze.

Dunning was reported to have had one eye gouged out but an examination of the organ later showed it was not as badly hurt as was first believed. R. Ginn, another undercover federal agent who said he had been working with Dunning, reported to police that they had been working on a "deal" with bootlegger suspects and met the racketeers by prearranged plans. Ginn said he and Dunning completed the deal, and that Dunning, who had entered the racketeers' car, flashed a pair of handcuffs and snapped them on the wrist of one of the men. The bootleg suspect, Ginn said, swung bis free hand and knocked him (Ginn) into the street.

Ginn said the man then jumped out and kicked him several times, leaped back in the car and, informing Dunning that they were going to take him "for a ride," sped away. Ginn, also badly beaten, managed to spread the alarm. All available police officers were called to hunt for the car, which authorities said was registered to James Williams of Seattle. Dunning was taken to the city hospital where he was given emergency treatment. While scarcely able to talk! he said that one of two women in the car strangled him and that the three men in the machine all took turns beating him.

Dunning asserted that he snapped his revolver in their faces several times, but it missed fire. They merely laughed, he said, and continued the beating. He escaped when the stalled temporarily at Duwamish, south of Seattle, on the Seattle-Tacoma highway. (Wnslilncton Bureau Washington, D. Jan.

Whether the tariff will provide political ammunition to be used against the administration this year will be determined within the next month, it is believed here. "1, The senate coalition is concluding the revision of the house bill which began last summer when a tacit agreement between the Progressive wing and the Democrats put" the combined bloc in the saddle. It is expected that within a short time the bill will be thrown Into conference, with the attitude of house leaders not at present clearly defined. It now appears that administration leaders are seeking to brin'B forth a bill which will generally raise the level of farm rates without substantially altering the rates on industrial products. In furtherance of this object, It is apparent that Speaker Longworth of the house and republican leaders in that body are willing to go as far.as possible in this direction, In spite of the fact that the house approved by a large majority the Hawley bill with its provisions for an almost general increase in all industrial tariffs.

Eastern Members Not Enthusiastic Providing the administration successful in getting house leaders to agree to this plan, difficulty would arise from only one source, the eastern industrial members of the house. Although scant publicity has been given to the disgruntled feeling which has circulated among members from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut and other eastern states, this may prove more than a negligible factor before the bill la sent to the president. The possibility of a "farm revolt" in the house, as envisioned by Representative Garner, Democratic floor leader, is considered more remote.
