500 FORMER CANNIBALS BAPTIZED
Dr. Myers Tells of Impressive Scene in Congo Country
Chicago--Sept. 21-- Another African hunter was welcomed back to Chicago last
evening and in an enthusiastic, if not as elaborate a manner as was his
illustrious predecessor, Theodore ROOSEVELT. Dr. Johnstone MYERS, pastor of
Emmanuel Baptist Church, who spent six months in Africa hunting facts about the
missionaries there, was the object of the reception. An incident of the
reception was a brief address by Dr. MYERS in which he told of baptizing a
number of man-eating natives.
"Just before I left the Congo country, I took part in a picturesque
ceremony that I never shall forget" said Dr. MYERS, "It was the
baptisms of half a hundred black men who but a few years ago were savage,
man-eating brutes. The spirit of Christianity had been carried to them by Dr.
Joseph CLARK in charge of the mission at Ikeke on the Congo and marvels had been
wrought.
"The sharks had been driven back from the shore and the men waded out and
formed a semi-circle in the water facing us on the shore. Then Dr. CLARK
began on one end and I at the other baptizing these savages, who but a short
time ago ate human flesh." PSM

DETECTIVES SCUFFLE WITH DISCHARGED MAN
Re-arrest George Lavey After Court Lets Him Go.
There was considerable confusion at police headquarters yesterday following the
discharge of George LAVEY after his arraignment in ____ charges of burglary and
grand larceny. His attorney called the attention of Justice CHADSEY to the fact
that the information sworn to at the time the warrant was issued was of a
hearsay character. The Court held that the point was well taken and LAVEY was
discharged. He was re-arrested, however, after a squabble in the corridors and
locked up on the same charges. He will be arraigned again this (didn't get the
rest). PSM
