Vramatic and Unexpected Event of Endeawrers' Convention. Nearly Twenty Persons Hurt, bat None Seriously Open Air Praise Service. fBT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS P.M. DENVER (Colo.) July 13. The big Endeavor tent, where the Christian Endeavor Convention has been held tor the past four days, was blown over this afternoon at 4 o'clock, while more than 8000 people "were attending the proceedings.

The Injured numbered nearly a score, but fortunately none of them was seriously hurt. Mrs. Jessie M. Thorn-burgh, of Denver, was the most seriously Injured, her nose being badly smashed, and her scalp suffering several wounds, i The presence of mind of A. M.

Ramsay of Chicago, who sprang to a chair and called the people to hold up the canvas and poles undoubtedly prevented danger of suffocratlon, but as it was, many women fainted, and were extricated from the folds of the canvas with much difficulty. Mrs. Wlnnlfred Sleep of Denver, who was In charge of the St. Marks hospital tent, seeing the catastrophe at at big tent, telephoned the Electric Company to shut oft the current. This prevented any damage being done by live wires, for of course they fell with the poles.

The feature, which showed the re ligious nature of the participants, was seen when the majority were extricated from the canvas folds. Led by an eastern delegate, all gathered around in tne open air and on impromptu service was held in the open air. The convention was In full progress at 4 o'clock, and although there were signs of rain and some wind was blow Ing, no trouble was anticipated by the management. The sides of the tent were up to admit the air, and this enabled the cauall to lift up the big canvas, as If it were a balloon. The gust of wind which carried over the tent came so suddenly that no prepara tion could be made to forestall the consequences.

The wind swept under the tent, the roof of which bellied out like an immense sail, and It was seen that the poles were being drawn from the ground. The smaller guy Toies gave the first intimation of an ger to the throng, being pulled from the Immediately the 8000 people were in a panic, which the screaming of the women accentuated. It was then that Mr. Ramsay sprang to a chair, and loudly called on the men to hold ip the ahd catch the larger sup porting poles as they fell and avert that danger. Hundreds of men -sprang to their feet and successfully carried out the Chicago man's suggestion and consequently no one was Injured In this way.

As the coles fell more than 1000 people who were seated near the walls of the tent escaped the folds, and these immediately formed themselves Into a relief corps. The hospital tent was speedily filled with women, who had fainted, and those who were sut ferlnsr from Blisrht injuries. The final meeting of the convention arranged for this evening at the big tent was and praise meet ings were held in some of the principal churches instead. At the Central Presbyterian, banners made, by Christian Endeavorers in oriental countries were presented to State unions showing as Iare as a 10 per cent, increase mem bership In the past year. I The first nrize went to ttte Nevada union.

The other State unions receiving banners were Colorado. Utah. Ohio. Louisiana Oregon, Alabama, Maryland. Wiscon sin, Oklahoma, Indian Territory.

Indiana, Missouri, Georgia, Alaska. Washington, West Virginia and New Mexico. SUNRISE SERVICES. TPY TUB ASSOCIATED FRESSA.M.J DENVER (Col.) July 13. Sunrise covenant services in five churches marked the opening of the fifth and last day of the twenty-first biennial Inter national Christian Endeavor convex tion.

Large audiences attended these earlv meetings, and thousands of En deavorers pledged themselves anew to carry on the work which tne organisa tion has undertaken. From 8:30 to 9:3 studv classes were in session at six churches. "China" was the subject of discussion of the foreign mission study class, of which Rev. Harlan P. Beacn of New York was the lecturer.

Rev. E. E. Olivers, D.D., of New York led the discussion or "Our Brother in Black" at the session of the home mis slon study class. A conference of "floating society" members was held at the Universalist Church, at which the subject "How Can Floating Christian Endeavor Be Extended?" was discussed (by Chaplain R.

Treasurer William Shaw presided nt a prison workers' conference in the (Plymouth Congregational Church. HELP FOR EX-PRISONERS. "How Endeavorers May Help Ex- i Prisoners," was the theme of Rev. Frsnk' Emory Lyon of Chicago, who jsaid In part: "In the work of helping ex-prisoners carried on by the Central Howard Association we have always found in every man that would respond to a sincere appeal to. the best that is In him.

Yet the problem of helping him In a practical way to help himself and ifor his own highest and Jhost permanent good is not a simple or easy one. It Is comparatively easy to pity or patronize him; to relieve our own consciences by feelings of sympathy and expressions of sentimentality. Bat to win him to permanent good citizenship and to highest manhood Involves a great many principles, not only of per-isonal helpfulness, but of his own pride, i self-respect and independence. "The problem of the prisoner will always be primarily a religious and moral but it will perhaps never be wholly so. The most important factor In the man's reformation will be to Instill in him a definite religious purpose, but In the working out of that purpose it Is (well for us Christian Endeavorers to 'remember that that religious purpose, to be effectual, must be applied to the practical affairs and temptations of life.

I That purpose alone will not absolve us from keeping him away, if possible, i from temptations to drink, for example. -The problem of the prisoner Is largely a temperance one and we should that a man Is not tempted beyond 'that be is able to bear. "The question is also In a great an industrial problem, since the flrst thing a man needs when he comes lout of prison is a chance to earn an honest living. The man who is without work, without friends, without money. i noi enougn, tnereiorfl, that we talk to a man about his soul's when his body and mind are in aire aisiress from temporal needs.

WORLD AGAINST THEM. "Notwithstanding all that has been said upon this subject, a great deal of prejudice still "exists agalnEt the ex-prisoner. The accidental offender (and about 50 per cent, of them are of this class) is regarded with the same suspicion as the confirmed criminal. For this reason the ex-prisoner meets a great many difficulties, even though his purpose may be perfectly honest. In many cases when he secures employment on his own" initiative the employer afterward learns his history and discharges him.

In other cases the fellow-workmen turn against him. In. sun otners, especially in the larger cities, the policeman Informs upon him and In some cases hound him to his doom. "For all these reasons we find It better for an agency like ourselves to secure the man a position ami plant him anew In society. We have the employer know his history from the start, but keep it from all others, and win for him new companions and a new opportunity.

By personal influence we strive to win him to good citizenship and manhood and to the Christian life as far as We do not hold him off at arm's length and say There Is an ex-convict. Watch him and see how quick he will and then say 'I told you But rather we put about him our arms of sympathy and discriminating helpfulness and by our mental attitude toward him, re-insplre confidence in himself and help him to become what we desire him to be and what he. In his best moments, desires tb In this way, I am glad to say, we have had the most gratifying results in helping the men. Fully 90 per cent, of all we have helped during the last several years have responded to our efforts and been permanently helped."

They are undesirable socially, politically.

Intellectually, morally and spiritually. They nave no understanding or comprehension of our political principles and institutions, and display the densest ignorance upon political subjects. They are morally and spiritually degraded. Our foreign problem at home is thus Seen to be a very great one. We must Americanize and Christianize them or they Will Europeanlze and un-Chrls-tianlze us.

In this work the church mustJ Dear a prominent part." BRACT'S STIRRING TALK. In his talk, Rev. Bradt said In part: "The church is rich and growing ncner, uunng the past fifty years the people of the United States have "ere ated and' accumulated $50,000,000,000. They are now amassing wealth at the rate of $7,000,000 a day. This wealthls God's Intrusted to man, and great sums of It are In the hands of God's own people; Yet the kingdom of God Is suffering for want of funds.

Why is this? It Is because God's people, that are called by His name, do not believe In and obey the great commission; and mis is true Decause tne preachers and leaders of the people do not set It before them as a command to be literally obeyed. But until they do, the vast sums of money needed to extend the kingdom of God will not be forthcoming. It is not to be wondered at that people. 'even professing Christian people, should not give their money more largely than they do, under the circumstances; there is no adequate demand for large self-denial giving unless the work outlined by Christ In the great commission is set before the church. "There Is no real occasion for large self-denial giving to build churches In this country.

In almost every village and town in this land there are church buildings 'To In some of them there are twice as many church edifices as there ought to be. We have church sittings In this land for 45,000,000 people; more than can possibly get out to church at any single service. The non. religious classes could be accommodated more than three, times over in the spare room. I do not mean to say there is no occasion or-, demand for giving money to build and enlarge church edifices in this land.

But I do mean to say that what rial demand there is can be supplied without disturbing jn the least the great current of wealth that is today flowing through our land like a mighty gulf stream. "But if there is no occasion, then and prodigality, extravagance and luxury, even the name of religion, are sin, and will bring the curse of Almighty God. "But there is an occasion. "Let us hear Jesus Christ say, 'Go Into all the world and preach the gos pel to every Let us hear Jesus Christ say, looking out upon a starving world, starving for the bread of 'heaven and the bread of earth. Give ye them to Then we will realise there Is a demand for 'Colleges, schools, seminaries, preachers, teachers, physicians, churches, hospitals, and benevolent Institutions which tax our largest resources.

For there are 1,000,000,000 people who are far away from the kingdom. and there Is only one Christian worker for each 50,000 of them: and they can almost be said to have as yet. no churches, nor schools, nor colleges, nor preachers, nor teachers- nor physi cians, nor hospitals; ami we or tnis land and country must prepare these men and women and means, and send them forth, equipped In mind and heart and pocketbook to furnish all of these things for a starving and dying world.1 Our Foreign Problems and How Christian Endeavor Helps to Solve Them" was discussed by Rev.

PITTSBURGH, July 13. George Gould who, with a party of Wabash and Missouri Pacific officials, spent the time here today in inspecting the Wabash extension to this city, in an interview said: "It is our purpose to weld the Wabash roads Into one grand system before long, that will reach to Ogden, Utah, and El Paso at the Mexican border, thence to Kansas City, St. Louis and Baltimore. We intend to make the latter city our seaport on the Atlantlo. It Is a magnificent one, but has been neglected.

We propose to develop and make It a great port. We do not intend to go to New York. There is more eclat in a trunk line into the metropolis, of course, but it is too expensive as a freight-exporting terminal.

CAUTEIXL'S CONTESSIONS. Authorities Opening Craves in Search for Evidence to Fasten Crime of Mur der on Grave BY THE ASSOCIATED INDIANAPOLIS, July on statements made in affidavits by Rufus Cantrell, now serving sentence at the Jeffersonville reformatory, officers today accompanied Cantrell to the Union Chapel Cemetery near Nora, eleven miles from Indianapolis and two graves were opened. It was expected, according to statements of Cantrell that there would be found the body of Miss Carrie Savage, an Indianapolis school teacher, who disappeared from the Union State Hospital, March 11, 1900. and was never found.

According to the story of Cantrell, two ghouls found the woman wandering on a country roadas they were returning from a grave-robbing expedition on the morning of her sappear-ance. They Invited her into the buggy, found she was demented, and took her to a cabin in Hamilton county, where she was kept for- weeks. She was moved to a hut in Indianapolis, and when the search for her became too close, the ghouls chloroformed her and burled the body in the Union Chapel Cemetery. Cantrell tonight was uncertain as to which grave she was burled in. He said she had been ylaced in a grave that had been robbed several months before.

Miss Sav3ge's brother was in the party. Two graves were opened and one was found to have been disturbed as Cantrell said it would be found. The body in it, however, wa not recognised by Savage. Other craves will be opened tomorrow. Cantrell also chims to know the se-rret of the disappearance of Kenneth La wren re.
