KISSED MANY GIRLS.
Now Vandivsr, Who is Sixiy-ThTse
Years Of Age, is Out Of a Job.
He Was the Gardener at The ChiIllcothe Home
for Glfs-Made no Denial

Chillicothe. Mo, May s.-Gardener A.
G. Vandiver OF the Chillcothe Home for
Girls has kissed himself out OF his job.
There is no doubt about the wholesale
distribution of his caresses. for vandi-
Yer himself testified before a legisla-
tive committee that he had kissed near
ly every girl in the home. some as
young as three and others as old as Is
years. He is So.
The gardener explained in his testi-
mony that he was simply "A man with
an affectionate disposition, declaring
that he had not been/guilty of any real
improprieties. He had often kissed the
girls before his wife. he said, and she
had not objected. He thought that II
there had been anything wrong about it
she would have complained.

Vandiver testified. kissed me one night
in my room when my wife was gone. L
was lying in bed and she came over and
kissed me. saying that she was sorry l
was sick"
There was only one instance brought
out at the investigation where the gar
dener tried TO kiss girl and missed his
mark.
II was out at the barn one day." he
said. "and Olive Warren was behind
the door. Il tried 10 KISS ner TN JOcu-
lar manner, OF course), but she got
away from me. / am not sure that
kissed her or sure that / did not-but
/ am sure that L tried" Olive Warren
is Is years old.
Strangely enough, although the gar
dener has been kissing the girls about
a year, none OF them has ever COM
planned TO the officials of the institution.
Nearly all of them who testified against
him before the committee did so reluc-
family.
One of them. Ida Kelly, said that
she had noticed that Mr.. Vandlver was
very fond OF kissing, and she had seen
him give little girls candy to kiss him.
Miss Kelly said that she did not rel
ish Mr.. Vandivers caresses, because he
was too old.
Emma Buttrick said she saw nothing
wrong about kissing him. because he
was her Sunday school teacher. The
first time she ever was kissed by him
was when she was talking over Sunday
school matters with him.
Vandiver after a lot OF questioning
finally admitted TO the committee that
he might have hugged the girls once
in a while" or put his arm around
girls neck while kissing her.
The -gardenar- has lust resigned his
position. He says he has been 'perse-
cuted" out OF 1t.

London, May S.-An important stage
In the ritualistic controversy opened
today when the Archbishop OF Canter-

Rt. Hon. and Most Rev. Frederick Tenn

Rt. Hon. and Most Rev. William DAILY
rimple MacLagan. sitting as self

Ram. vicar of the Church OF St. John.
rfinberfrfff, Norwich -en-the charge of
ceremonial use of incense.
Messrs. Westall and Ram will have
the assistance in the ecclesiastical trial
of a number OF experts on the question
of the ritual, including the Rev. X. Il.
Percival. rector of the Church of the
EVangelists, in Philadelphia. The de-
cision OF the archbishops will not be
binding except as to the conscience up
on any ore. nor will IL be enforcible.
but, naturally, it will have immense
moral weight.
The chief purpose OF this archiepisco
pal inquiry is to avoid reference to the
secular courts. A large assemblagr OF
bishops and well-known clergymen
were present in the historic guard
room OF Lambeth Palace when the
Archbishop of Canterbury opened the
proceedings with an explanation of the
nature of the hearing. Arguments Of
counsel on both sides followed.

Tomorrow.

New York May s.--The grand jury
today resumed its investigation into
the case of Roland b. Molineux, previ-
ously indicted for the murder of Mrs.
Adams. 1t is expected the jury will have
its work finished by tomorrow. Sub
poenas for about ten witnesses. includ-
ing the handwriting experts, were is
sued today. District Attorney Gardner
declares the statement that members of
the grand jury had said they would not
vote for an indictment was absurd.
THE grand jury is a respectable body
Of reputable men," said Col. Gardiner.
"lt is illegal for it's members to talk of
the case The case for the people has
not yet been presented and IL would not
be natural for them TO express an opin-
ion at this time"
A member of the district attorneys
staff, however. said emphatically that
he did not believe one man would vote
for an indictment. David ~. Carvalho.
the hand writing expert, VIII testify be-
fore the grand jury. Carvalho has de-
clared emphatically that the letters in
troduced by the prosecution were not

Al0nzo M. Rowe.

Allen W. Dorsey, life prisoner in the
Rhode Island State prison, pays the fol-
loving tribute to late prison official in
letter addressed to the editor of the
| Howard Times:
DEAR SIR: Will you kindly allow a
prisoner space in the columns of your
paper, to express the deep regret and sor-
row OF the prisoners, upon hearing of the
death of our late Deputy Warden Rowe.
The news of his death was received by
the prisoners, individually and collective
ly, with the deepest sense of a personal
loss. Deputy Rowe's many acts of kind
ness, performed with tact, sense and good
nature, through many years, commanded
the respect and good will Of us all Ger
tainly this feeling of goodwill did not
spring from his acts of kindness alone.
but owed its enduring vitality to the
manly qualities which characterized his
personality, in all his intercourse with us.
not as criminals, but as men. In saying
this, feel | but voice the thought and
sentiment Of each and every prisoner in
the prison.
When the limitations set by law. suit
able to our environment, prohibited us
from seeking outside advice, then it was
wv
with a full assurance that if he could not
help-he would sympathize.
He looked with animadversion upon
any infringement of the prison discipline,
but his manner was such that back of his
official decision we always saw the man,
with heart full of kindness
Deputy Rowe has 'Crossed the Great
Divide" but he will live on in our
memory.
His life work is ended,
His Spirit from Earth hath flown s.
Gone to join the beloved wife,
Who'll greet him, in a heavenly home,
In the many Mansions,
Where all is bright and fair:
May they spend an Eternity,
Gods love theirs to share.
In Jesus loving presence,
Where's no sickness nor pain,
May be hear the welcome message
Deputy, 60 on duty again"
Our hearts are filled with grief,
For the one We'll see no more,
God has called him home
To rest, to rest for evermore.
