Baltimore, Md., Special.?The great event in the history of the five roil lion Baptiata in the Southland ia the annual convention. This year ia the sixty-fifth in its history and the fifty fifth session. . Two thousand dele gates and fully as many visitora are in attendance upou the two great meetings.' ' ? - ' It has been a great year for the Baptists. The totals are: Foreign Missions,o $501,580.84. Home Mia sions, $329,475. Sunday Schools, $235,000. Southern Baptist Theo logieal Seminary, $468,000, uinkiug a grand total exclusive of all local church expense of $1,054,055.84. Indications are that the church la preparing to sever its connections with all interdenomination move ments, except the laymen's miaaionary movement. A committee, was requeated to out line a new system of Sunday-school hooks to replace the interdenomina tional ones, which were criticised in a _report placed i before the convention. Kev. George W, MeDaniel, of Rich mond, in an address, said the B&ptiats lacked organization and an adequate mission policy and ' expressed the hope that Mr. John D. Rockefeller will work out a plan for them which would make them as strong spiritually as the Standard Oil Company ia commercially. The plans of committees now con sidering various projects tend to ad vise, it is/ said that the Southern Baptists seek the broader field of tie nation. The New Mexico situation commit tee will advise going into that ter ritory, which has previously been under Northern Baptist jurisdiction. It-iariHiderstood that $400,000' wtll be approved by the committee for home mission work. , ? The great movement, ito favofr of the additional endowment for the Southern Baptist Theological Semi nary was made the special order Sunday morning and the convention pledged $30,000 for the endowment fund in fifteen minutes. Dr. Mullins reported that almost $500,000 has al ready been secured during the year for the endowment and that the re maining $200,000 would be raised very soon.

The problem of the negro name before the convention in the report read by Dr. O. W. McDaniel, of Rich mond. Dr. B. D. Gray, of Atlanta, spoke to the report and he did not prove disappointing. Ai the ntrfgro was the question for discussion, ho seemed to voice the sentiment of all present when he said: "We have got to treat the negro right; we have got to get rid of our inherent mean ness and give them their just deal. "The best thing to do for the negro is to set him a good example. There are 10,000,000 in our land, and not the hundreds of millions in Af rica of this or any other race con cern us as much as those in our midst." Dr. HcDaniel in hie address on the negro problem, said he hoped to see the day come when the negro would be given justice in the eonrts. "I blush," he said, "when I think of the negro given the limit Of the law for a petty trim? and the white* man set free for the same crime merely because his skin is white and ^he has the influence. - Negroes are not Baptists because they know so ? little, but because they read .wit h un biased minds the Word of Qod. When we think of them and how they were the guards of our women when the men of the South were off to wai^-I S say We ne*d to do the negroes of the Sooth justice." ^ _ " : .

Hyde was found guilty Monday of murdering Colonel Thomas H. Swope. Hla punishment was fixed at life im prisonment. The law allows the defense four days in which to file a motion for a new trial and Dr. Hyde's counsel announce that a new trial will be requested. "Treat that prisoner the same ac any other," Judge Latshaw ordered County Marshal Joel P. Mayes. "Give him few privileges and no luxuries." An hour after the Verdict was re ported Mrs, Hyde was able to go to her home. When news of the conviction was forwarded by telephone to Mrs. Swope in Independence, she shrieked and dropped the receiver. Court attaches believe the supreme court will be unable to reach Dr. Hyde's case for at lefijst a year, on aceount of the crowded docket. The law of Missouri prohibits the courts from admitting a convicted murderer to bail. ? Dr. B. C. Hyde was charged during his trial with a series of startling poisonings, having for their object the raining of control of the fortune of Colt. Thomas JI..J3wQpe, the mil llonsfre "philanthropist.

Dr. Hyde said the capsule was a digestive tablet ! On January 11 Colonel Jgwope's body was removed from its tomb for chemical analysis of the internal or gans, which disclosed, according to chemists' report 52-06 of a erain of sTrycmuneT Two days before Colonel Swope's! death Mom Hunt on, his cousin, and business adviser, died at th8 S'wope house pf apoplexy. It was charged at the trial that l>r. Hyde bled Mr. Hunton too profusely after the apo-J pletlc attack., Burly in December a typhoidhfever opidemjc broke out in the 8wopel household, attacking ten of the mem bers of the family and causing the death of Chrisman Swope, a brother' of Dr. Hyde's wife. Shortly before] Chrismsn's death he was given a cap sule by Dr. Hyde and suffered a con vulsion similar to that preceding] Colonel Swope's death:" Margaret Swope, Chrisman's sister, j who also had a convulsion after tak ing a capsule while tender Dr. Hyde's treatment, was given an emetic at once by Dr. Twyman and recovered. Dr. Twyman, who was expected to be a valuable witness, died of appen dicitis juet before the trial began. | Colored Girl poisoned Children.

As the bow quivered the white gloVed hand of an offleef sought her arni to stay the shattering of the bot? tie for an Inttant. But It. was unnec essary. Miss Fleming smiled slightly, and made no move. Then, aa the hnll made Its first move downward, she^ threw the magniim against the side with all her strength, and it crashed to pieces, the wine flowing down In a hundred rivulets. As the ship's stern hit the water and the propellers were submerged, a high swell went racing out in the middle of the river, and the gnsrd" boats, stationed to keep traffic at a distanoe, rose and tumbled about like sp-maffy bucking bronchos. With the stern afloat tremendous pressure was brought by the bow to bear upop the ways, but .this had been- taken into, consideration* and, beyond the sound ing cracking oI timbers, nothing hap. pened. Without swaying an inch either to the right or the left, the hull went full into the river and rode upon an even keel.
