That was an evidence of good works
when Bishop Cheshire was warmly re-
ceived by the Methodist conference in
session in Charlotte in discussing the
need of repeating the loose divorce laws
Of North Carolina. The churches ought
to speak out against the d~isgraceful in
creasing number Of divoces in North
Carolina, encouraged by loose laws
News and Oberver.
The divorce laws of this state are en-
tirely too AK. There should be a re-
peal Of several of the acts of the leg
~islature creating causes of divorce.
Public sentiment should demand of the
general assembly which meets in jan
uary that it pass a general law great
ly restricting the right of divorce. The
churches, except the Roman Catholic.
are too remiss in the matter of allow
riages where one of the parties has a
| divorced husband or wife living. The
church governing bodies should regu-
late this matter without any interior
jence by the state law-making power,
and the churches as religious bodies
should have nothing to do with the law
making power of the state. 1t should
not be sought to bring to bear upon the
Legislature the influence of the churches
as religious organizations. Although for
a good purpose in this case it is a dan
gerous precedent to establish. Let the
ministers and members Of the churches
use all their personal influence to secure
this greatly desired legislation, u let
them not attempt to shape legislation
| through the influence of the corporate
! bodies of their church denominations.

Young Adolf Weber Accused of tho
Murder Of Both Parents HIS Sister
and Little Brother and then Firing
the House.

Auburn. CAL. November 13.-Adoif
Weber has been placed under arresl.
charged with h murder of his par
ents. sister and young brother last
Thursday night n with having set
he family residence on fire after
wards to conceal the crime. Weber
took his arrest coolly. The arrest took
place Immediately after he left the
witness stand, and after he had re-
luctantly answered the questions ASK
ed him by Coroner Shepard, the dis
trict attorney and several OF the Jury
men.
The latest theory in the Weber
murder case is that the murderer
shot the father first, then, as the sis
ter appeared in the hall, he shot her;
and then the mother. seeing what had
been done. screamed and started from
him.. when he shot her. She contin-
her left hand. took down the telephone
left hand. took down the telephone
receiver to call for help. at which
time she received the second shot.
which penetrated the body just under
the left arm. The child being the
only one left, the murderer struck him
over the head and felled him. The
operator at the central telephone Of
Ace says that the line at the Weber
residence showed busy at about
half hour before the fire was discov-
cred.
Adolphus Weber, in Jail this morn
ing, had nothing to say beyond that
he had a good nights rest. No effort
has been made. to get the young man
out on a writ by his attorneys.
Weber's description is said to tally
with the description of one of the OBJ
bers who robbed the bank here.
