arrest of Custiss Jett, in Madison coun-
ty. Sunday, charged with the murder Of
j. Fl. Marcum, grave problem con-
fronts the prosecution, which may re-

the crime, for trial, unless he requests
to be taken elsewhere. He has asked
to be taken to Jackson, where it is
contended, the feeling is suc'a that JUS
tice would be defeated. A well defined
move is on foot to delay the removal
of Jett to Jackson, until it is ascertain
ed what steps can be taken to avoid it
under the law. If the law offers no re-
lief it is stated here the governor will
be asked to call special session of the

ID. Dr. formally resisned from the pas
torate of the Second United T'resbyter-

The resignation is caused BIZ the con-
gregltions determination that their
singing shall be accompanied by organ
music. This is contrary to the custom
of the church, and emphaiIcally against
DR.. LitteFs creed and Interpretation of
the laws of worship laid down in the
bible.
Although DR.. Little had stated that
he would probably resign if the congre-
gation voted for an organ, yet it was
thought that the resignation would not
come until the organ had been actually
installed in the church.

FEWER WOMEN GO TO CHURCH.
New York Preacher Says Attendance
Is Falling Off.

New York, May lin a sermon
preached at the Collegiate church yes
terday Dr. Donald Sage Mackay said:
Il believe that more thoughtful in
tellectual men are going to church in
New York today than there We're ten
years ago. On the other hand pro-
portionately, 1 believe, fewer women are
attending church than formerly. This
lis especially so among women Of leisure
and the so-called society women, for
whom the Sabbath is crowded with
social engagements. 1t is also true
largely OF the wage earning woman,
who not unnaturally desires the Sab
bath for recreation.
In the aggregate, of course, there
are more women in our churches than
men, but l say, after close observation
and comparison with my brother min
listers, that thoughtful men of New
York City today are on the upward
grade in this matter of church attend
ance."

which had gathered. Nearly every pas
senger was more or less seriously hurt.
