New York, Oct. 7.-Dr: Parkhurst, in
a statement on the subject Of immor-
ality as revealed by the life-insur-
ance investigation, calls upon the church
to do its part toward raising the stand
ard of the business methods. He be-
lieves the situation calls for action on
the part of the district attorney and
others charged with the prosecution OF
criminals to push the case to the ut
most of their ability.
'I am amazed,' said DR.. Parkhurst,
sat the candor-no, not the candor--
the brazen effrontery with which the ad-
missions Of Mccall and others were vol
unteered during their testimony before
the Armstrong legislative committee.
''It is shocking to consider these rev.
elations. It is shown that the conduct
of important financial affairs is sur
rounded by an atmosphere Of immoral
ity. I don It mean to say Mccall is
alone in this. There are more behind
him. It has been impossible for one
man to transact such affairs alone.
4 "Not alone is it the duty of those
charged with the prosecution Of viola
tors of the laws and Of honesty and In
tegrity to push these cases, but it is the
duty Of the church, irrespective Of creed
or denomination. to use them as texts
, for sermons tending to raise the stand
ard Of Christian morality. I intend do
ing so from my own pulpit.'

closed today when the two men left
the fBonaventura station on a Delaware

ture was the large number of United

around.
They were in charge Of w. j. Flynn,
head Of the secret-service bureau OF

government, Silas s. Carpenter, chief
of the detective force, who kidnapped

tion. At half past 8 the prisoners
went to the train.
When asked il they had anything to

piled that they were glad to 60 back at
last, and that they would have nothing
but the kindest remembrances of their
treatment in Canada. Colonel Gay

ticed from his companions by offerings

rible maltreatment.
Officers today obtained a clue that
day with woman, said by him to be
his wife, from Morris, MINI. Both left
suddenly yesterday, and Sheriff Will
liams has wired the sheriff of Stevens
county to hold them if they return to
that county. The motive behind the
kidnapping is unexplainable at this
time.
According to the story told by, a
companion Of the Kusche boy, the
him in his arms short distance down
the street. After he, had taken him
away from his playmates the man set
the lad down and seemed to be giving
him candy, and otherwise enticing him
to 90 with him toward a piece of tim
ber land on the side OF the hill. They
were soon hidden from the view of
passersby. .%
Ormond did not return home when
the other boys did, and his father set
out to look for him. On learning the
part that the tramp had played in the
affair he at once notified the police and
party Of neighbors joined in the
serach. Nothing was learned Of the
boy ., whereabouts, and the mother, who
was in the party, returned to the house
all but Frustrated with grief and fear
Members Of the. party including Mr.
Kusche, continued the search all night.
George Kimball, while on his way t
| work yesterday noticed a boy lying in {
| thicket close to the road. On approach
ing he recognized him as the Kuscht
boy Mr.. Kusche was at once notified

are several cuts and gashes on his heal
and his whole body is terribly bruised
His nerves are affected seriously. Hi
