CHICAGO, Feb.' 27.-Bihop Sam
uel Fallows entered new field with
"Religious Therapeutics" at St
Paul's Reformed Episcopal Church
last night but as "the horrible ex
ample" who presented himself as
subject had evidently taken too many
"bracers" for the ordeal, it 3s feared
the cure proved unavailing in this in
stance.; .-
It was the regular weekly '"health
conference" and the bishop spoke On
"Thought, the Master Builder." He
was reaching the apex of his address
when he remarked that "Cod would
cure the evil in one who would get
the thoughts of liquor out of his
heart and fill it with thoughts of
temperance." '
A silence fell over the rest of the
audience as a man in the rear of the
room loudly asked "Will Cod do that
for me?" '
"He will, dear brother," said the
fcishop, and then, addressing the au
dience he said: ' t :. ), . I 'i
"This man came to see me last
night at my home. I invited him
this meeting tonight. He has his
and baby here with hint now."
Show me that God will do it,' in
stated the intoxicated one.
"Keep still,' kindly requested the
aged bishop, 5$''?' ',
But the man refused to do so and
insisted on bringing the lecture to a
sudden end by taking a front seat
Laying both hands on the forehead
of the man Bishop Fallows asked a
special prayer from the congregation
to seek the grace and strength of God
to cure the subject of his evil habit.
"You will be helped if you get
pure thoughts and thoughts of tem
perance in your heart,' the bishop be
gan, but as the matij cont'mied repeat
ing "I'm' all in" the bishop ceased
experimenting and , announced , that
the women' were ready to serve lunch
eon. The man refused the offer of
cocoa and said he could drink a quart
o Scotch ''whisky a day.' The church
women fondled the baby and spoke
kindly to .the ''wife who seemingly did
not appear mortified. All three wore
cOstly clothes. The woman explained
that this was the "final test" for her
husband, whom she called "Charlie."
Once when "Charlie' became par
ticularly loud the bishop had the con
gregation' sing-"My Faith Looks up
to Thee."

upon its 'graceful" and ''perfect lines.

its beauty has been marred and

OTHER QUESTIONS ASKED
Admiral Maton't Testimony Wat
Given With Reference to Answer
ing More of ReuterdahJ's Criticism!
Ht Denied Hoists Art Dangerous.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 27.-A gen
eral discussion among the members
of the senate committee on naval
affairs today indicated that the inves
tigation of the charges of defects in
battleship construction will be ex
tended to a number of other ques
tions that have attracted public at
tention. Among these questions will
be whether the staff officers such as
naval surgeons shall be given the
command of hospital ships or other
naval vessels.
This will undoubtedly result in the
re-opening of the Brownson-Rixey
controversy which was disposed of by
the President supporting Rixey in bis
contention that a surgeon be given
the command of the hospital ship
Relief. ' ' ' "' " '
Admiral Mason today explained to
the committee the working of the
turret ammunition hoists. His testi
mony was given with reference to
answering more of Reuterdahl's criti
cisms. . Mason denied that straight
hoists were dangerous as charged by
Rcuterdahl. Mason supported his
arguments by comparisons with the
ships of other navies. .
Mason stated that the interrupted
hoist of new turret is not as safe as
a direct hoist and that it was put in
because of the insistent demand of
the officers and seamen who believe
it will permit of more rapid firing. ,
,. "It would seem," ; said Tillman,
"That victory is more important to
the navy" that the protection of hu
man lives." ' ''
"Of course,' responded the admiral,
"Men on . battleships are right , in
thinking that the ship that gets in the
most shots has the greatest Advant
age." . ..' .

self-preservation, wc are . compelled

HIS SCANDALOUS STATEMENT
That he Misconducted Himself by
Failing to Indict Some Officials of
New Yorw Central Railroad in Con
nection With Fatal Tunnel Accident
NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-Twenty-two
specific charges are made in the
petition praying for the removal of
District Attorney Jerome were sent
to uovernor Hughes today Dy a
committee of the stockholders of the
Metropolitan Street Railway, through
their chairman, Wiliam'F. King The
petition charges Jerome with having
failed to properly prosecute the
charges of the "Alleged jury fixing"
in street railway cases; that he de
layed the prosecutions in the life in
surance cases; that he allowed a con
spiracy to divert the property of the
Metropolitan Street Railway into the
hands of a few men and was allowed
by Jerome to go on to the great loss
of hundreds of stockholders; that
his statements as to judges have
been scandalous, and to have tended
to destroy confidence in the integrity
of their courts;, that he misconducted
himself by failing to indict some of
ficial of the New York Central Rail
road in connection with a collision of
that company's tunnel when 17 were
killed and various other accusations.
Governor Hughes, said tonight that
the charges against Jerome would
take their usual course. William F.
King tonight gave out a statement
severely criticising Jerome.
He says he maintains that much of
the blame for the present depressed
condition of affairs . is due to the
failure of Jerome to prosecute the
rich and influential grafters who have
robbed the people and disgraced the
name of New York City. He main
tains the ice trust.t insurance clique,
and the wrecking of the Metropolitan
Traction Company. . . t
, : "Public exposure of these rich
criminals ' and failure to ( prosecute
them and others of the same ilk, who
owned and controlled many great
banks and trust companies, is the
primary cause jof the want of confi
dence that caused people to rush to
the banks to withdraw their deposits
and place the min safe deposit boxes,
and although the so-called panic is
practically over so far as banks are
concej-rid, want of confidence is here
to stay and will stay until the people
see some of these wealthy criminals
punished, not fined, but put in jail
