A ROOSEVELT STORY
Told by an Episcopal Clergyman in
Bis Pulpit.

Syracuse, N. Y, May 4--In a sermon
delivered here the Rev. Mr.. George c.
Richmond, an Episcopal clergyman. told
a new anecdote about President Roose-
welt. He said: When he grs !u;stej
from Harvard nd went home to New
York he decided. as thoughtful men or
ten do, to devote part of his energy and
ability TO the work of the church. He
had been born and bred into that
branch of Christianity known as The
Dutch Reformed church. but al this
point in his life he decided to give his
strength. vitality and sympathy to the
Episcopal church, which in his mind
had the best field for work
ITO a man of his strenuous constitu-
ton, its mission in the present age, its
chance for work among Gods people OF
today, was Of course the prevailing mo-
tive for his choice He entered into the
work of New York parish and took
time to teach the boys of the Sunday
school Here in this church he met the
spirit which shocks and confounds a
real, true man. the spirit of mediaeval
ism, the spirit of the unessential the
semhlanee of the real.
At several of the services he failed
to bow when the rubric required such a
posture. He waited to kneel as those
who noticed him watched with chagrin
If they had left him alone he would
have learned the manner of the place.
His. people were ill-bred in those man
ners which win men and make new
souls. They told this young fellow of
all his ways as they had watched them
and urged him to be more correct. AS
a result he left the church and threw up
his work. He went back to that body
of Christians where manliness is worth
more tssan manners and strength Of
character more than ritual.

At noon today Mrs. Smith will speak at
a shop meeting at the Santa Fe shops.
Mrs Emma NIoffett will sing at this ev-
ening's meeting. Mrs. Moffett is an evan
geIistic singer with a beautiful voice. At

son of Edward NJ Simonds, the NcT
York broker who was mysteriousiss
murdered in Chicago, has started an in
vestigation to get at the details Of the

his fortune and to obtain through his
business relations a clew that may lead
to vengeance on his fathers slayer.
That Simonds met his death while full
filling a secret mission of importance Is
financiers n New York and Chicago is
now the belief Of his friends. They say
he had almost completed a big deal
when he was killed.
Beyond that point, however, no prog
ress has been made towards solving the
mystery. For some reasons Simonds
kept from his family all information
that now might furnish ciews. Where
his offices were. who his business asso-
ciates were and other details are un-
known. When he left home, he merely
told his wife he was going to Chicago
on a business matter of great import
ance Then days afterward he wrote to
his wife saying he had been successful,
was in good health and would return
home in another ten days. This letter
was received by Mrs Simonds one hour
after telegram announced that he had
bene killed Simonds' son says:
II am willing to tell all I know. but il IS
Of little value in the case We came from
Chicago five years ago and father engaged
in the banking and brokerage business,
nothing and we asked no questions. That
he was successful in his venture hare
