MONDAY EVENING, MAY 4, 1908.

TuF ENFORCEMENT of the law against
the opening of saloons on Sunday has
seemingly met with the approval OF the
mass of the people Of this community
and efforts are now being made to curb
merchandising in other branches OF
business on Sunday. There are some
pursuits the Introduction of which would
bring discomft to many in the COM
munity. while there are others which
could be dispensed with without harm to
any one. The bulk of the business, how
ever. of a small community like this
could be finished up on Saturday night
and most every one given day Of rest.
The closing of the saloons is a step in
the proper direction, aside from the
moral issue involved, as nature teaches
us that one day in seven should be de-
voted to rest. There are many, how
ever. who do not engage in selling liquor
on Sunday who seem to see no harm in
selling anything else. As consequence
they work the full seven days, defylng
as it were the laws of God and man. A
person, from moral point of view, can
commit breach Of the Sabbath by con-
Quoting his business on that day no
matter what that occupation may be.
OF course, there are excephons-the
services of physician, druggist or IN
dertaker may be needed on Sunday
The movement made against the Greek
fruit dealers is in accordance with
law of the city which has never been
repealed. The ordinance, however, is
sweeping in its provisions, and If 1t Is
to be enforced against the foreigner,
there is no good reason why it should
not be made to apply to others who are
neither doctors, druggists, undertakes
or milkmen.

The Reliance

New Rochelle, N. Y, May 4.-The
three big ninety-footers Reliance, Con
stitution and Columbia are now in the
water off here and though there are no
scheduled races until later in the month,
the boats will undoubtedly come together
for many a hard brush during sail
stretching spins. The performance OF
Columbia on last Saturday, when she
left Newport in the morning and reached
City Island in the evening covering a
distance of about 120 miles in seven
hours and half, is the talk of the crews
of all three racers today. Tim Miller,
her captain, says he never believed it
possible for a sailing vessel to move so
fast, and she easily beat sound steamers
and all manner of steam craft. This
work of Columbia was done in a strong
wind and heavy sea.

Attempt 70 wreck a church.

Chicago, May 4. -Dynamite hurled
supposedly by some fanatical policy
player partially wrecked the Institutional
Church, on Dearborn street, at 10 o'clock
last night, just as the congregation had
left the building. The terrific explosion
which shook every structure for blocks
around, shattering windows and doors and
frightening women into Mysteries signaled
the execution of plot of which Rev.
Mr.. Ransom, who is waging the crusade
against policy, was warned the night
before. The dynamite was thrown in
the rear of the building through door
leading to the main auditorium of the
church. The conclusion tore some of the
organ pipes from their foundations, besides
wrecking the porch, demolishing the
door. SCATTERING the plastered walls and
breaking all the windows on the south
side of the edifce. The only motive fol
the attempt to wreck the church is the
fact that Rev. Mr.. Ransom has beer
conducting a vigorous crusade agains
gambling and last night delivered an
advertised rebuke against the evil anC
the patrons of the policy game.

connection with the Kaiser's visit to
Rome, and which ends the military pro-
gramme of his majesty's visit, was held

scene was in all respects a regal one.

magnificent horse, while King Victor

Forest Fire.

Buzzards Bay, Mass, May A
forest fire it is believed was maliciously
started yesterday in the woods at
the head of the bay and last night every
fire fighter in the region was hard at
work trying to subdue the flames, which
were spreading on their way through
the thick pine woods toward the town of
Carver. The roar Of the fire could be
heard miles away. A number of the
men got lost in the woods and the fire
entrapping them, they had a narrow
escape from being cremated. The fire
is estimated to have already burned over
a tract of country two miles wide and
six miles long. The entire region be-
tween the head of the bay, where the
fire started, and Carver, will be de-
wasted by the cOnhagratiOn before it is
subdued

The Mysterious Murder in Lorain.

Lorain, O., May 4.-There were in
teresting developments yesterday in the
Waller murder case-the most impor-
tant one was in regard to the rock with
which Miss Reichlin was supposed to
have been beaten to death. There has
always been question as to how, if Rev.
Waller is guilty, he procured the stone.
1t has been aurgured that if he was in his
room and went to that of the girl he
could not have used the rock as weap-
on. If he had gone outside, it is believ-
ed, he would have disturbed the dog in
the kitchen. Said Prosecutor Stroup at
Elyria, yesterday: ave have learned
that the latch on the door leading from
Miss Reichlin's room to the attic could
not be fastened. The door jam had
sprung and the door itself was warped.
When the door was closed the
lock did not slip into the socket
Thus the door at any time would
be pushed ajar. We have been
informed that Miss Reichlin had spoken
of procuring stone to place against the
/ NOOi w ACCp IL uOiS sSNuiOiy SiNSNN'
Whether she ever carried out this inten-
ton we have never been able to learn. "
Rev. Waller, in describing the appearance
at his door of the alleged robber could
not tell whether the stone was in his
hands. He caught, he said, a momen-
tary glimpse only of the man before he
backed away at the priests command.
Rev. Waller said the man ran swiftly
through the young woman's room and
up the stairs. Directly after the murder
the opinion of a majority of the
residents of Lorain was that Rev.
Waller was implicated in the crime.
There seemed to be slight change in senti-
ment yesterday. With the priest under ar
rest, the citizens grew cooler and were in
clined to argue the matter. The fact that
Lorain has been infested with thugs for some
weeks and that hOld-ups have been numerous
was cited as proof that the Reichlin house
may have been entered. 1t was known i'm
town that there was q safe on the ground floor
in which sums of money belonging to the
church were kept. 1t is possible that, lack
ing further evidence, Rev. Father Waller
will be released from prison today. The
funeral Of Miss Agatha Reichlin, the murder
ed woman. was held this morning.

Cherbourg, farewell salute of 1Ol guns

DISPATCHES giving descriptions OF
disgraceful scenes in or in front of
churches in certain places are becoming
more and more common. In Joliet,
H., yesterday, a pitched battle took
place in a Slavonic Catholic Church in
which prayer books and broken furniture
were the missiles. When the police ar
rived to quell the disturbance the bel
ligerents turned from each other and
united their forces against the officers.
Bloody and lacerated faces and hands
bore evidence OF the ferceness of the
contest. 1t was not until the police had
drawn their revolvers and threatened to
use them that peace was restored and
arrests were made. Two thousand per-
sons were more or less concerned in the
fight. Such scenes are to be deplored
wherever they occur, but when churches
are made the arenas and thus desecrated,
it but shows to what depths some OF the
race are calculated to descend. Such
tumults, however, are exotic. They
are precipitated by foreign elements who
seem to imagine that on general prin-
cipals the chief end of man is to fight on
every and all occasions The partici-
pants in the above fracas were Slavs and
the troubles which have occurred in
other churches have been superinduced
by hose not native and to the manner
born.

m vsterious murders, the most noticeable
being that of Burdick in Buffalo, the
da,d man found in a barrel in New
York and the murder of Miss Agatha
Reichlin. sister of a priest, in Lorain, ..
Rev Father Walser has been arrested on
suspicion of committing this crime. The
latter protests his innocence and Rev.
Father Reichlin, brother of the murder
ed woman, says he is sure Father wal
ser never committed the murder. The
fact that he was in the house the night
the woman was killed has caused him to
be suspected by numbers. He acknow-
lodges being in the house with the
young woman's brother on the night OF
the murder, positively denies that he
killed the woman. There is a decided
feeling against Father Walser, and in some
quarters the fact that he is a priest
seems to be ground for his conviction on
general principles. He may be inno-
cent of the horrible crime and the
trial may show him to be. At any rate
judgment should be suspended until the
case is examined by proper tribunal
No man can obtain fair trial from pub
lie clamor. Today's dispatches are to
the effect that there is a m ore conserva-
tive feeling toward the suspected priest.

with Mr.. Mclean att its head, is a strong
one and deserves the honest support of
every democrat. If it receives this and
there is no "knifng" among the "dis-

case Maryland can be counted among
the sure democratic States for some

SEVERAL ITALIANS have been found
murdered in the larger cities recently,
and these crimes have been charged
to what are called Mafas, which are
said to flourish in the principal cities.
If such organizations do exist, and they
are responsible for these mysterious
murders, some heroic measures should
be taken to teach the perpetrators that
they are living in a civilized community
where assassination is not tolerated.

DISMISSED FROM THE PAsToRATE. -
Rev. Paul L. Johnson was dismissed
from the pastOrate of ST. Matthews Luth-
eran Church of Columbus, Ohio, by the
congregation yesterday, because of the de-
claration made from the pulpit that he
had received some new revelations from
the Bible, particularly with regard to the
baptism of the Holy Ghost and TO faith
in Christ. The doctrine which he
preached to his congregation last Sunday
for the first time, is that after earnest
and long praying one may receive real
baptism of the Holy Ghost, and that after
that he can heal diseases and perform
other miracles by the aid of faith. He
startled his people by declaring that he had
by faith cured himself of a certain throat
trouble with which he had been afflicted.
Suddenly the trouble returned while he
was preaching, and he was scarcely able
to speak. He asked his people to pray
with him, as "the devil was trying TO
overcome him." and after 10 minutes he
announced a victory over the devil, and
his voice returned with its former power.

THAT Mr.. William J. Bryan means
to stay in politics and will make no
compromise with reOrganizers OF the
democratic party is assured by his ut
terances in the current issue Of the Com
moner. Mr.. Bryan defends his position
and significantly refers to the fact that
he is only 40 years old and may live to
see ten more presidential campaigns.
'TTbose who believe in the Kansas City
platform" he announces, "are not
ashamed of the part they Played, and
.hey do not intend to surrender the con-
troll of the party into the hands of those
who have openly antagonized those prin-
ciples and who boast of their intention,
if successful, to take the party back to
the position which it occupied under
Mr.. Clevelands administration" NO
amount of vilifcation, he says, will deter
the. supporters of the Kansas City
platform from pressing their claims at
the next national convention. The above
indicates what many have long sus-
pected, but hoped would not come TO
pass. Mr.. Bryan, it is now feared, is dts-
tined, sooner or later, to give trouble IN
the democratic ranks, and the sooner
this is realized the better His utter
ances during the past few months show
he is hostile to nearly every man at
present prominent in the democratic
party. His aversion to some may be
looked upon with some extenuation, but
why he should show his hostility to such
men as Mr.. German, who not only voted
for him, but spent money in his
behalf, is hard to understand. Mr.. Bryan
has dictated the platforms oftwo democrat
ic conventions. The mass of the party
voted for him tor President on two occa-
sions, and what superior or perpetual
claims he has upon his fellow-citlzens'
it is difficult to see. Free silver may
have been a paramount issue years ago,
but more vital ones are now before the
country. That was once the kite-let ii
be part of the tail this time if it is to be
incorporated in the platform.
