Former Detectives Talk at Big Meet
ing for Men.

An enthusiastic audience greeted Mr. Todd
d. HAN at the Y. NJ. c. A. big meeting yes
terday afternoon. A section of the Marine
Band present opened with the overture to
Parsifal, followed by selections by the Bal
umore Lyric Quartet, upon whose work Mr.
bryan commented so favorably upon h!s
appearance at the theater few SUNDAYS
ago The congregational singing was led
by Mr.. Percy S. Foster. and prayer was Of
fered by Rev. Dr. Huyke
On the platform, among others. was Mr.
Myron clark. association secretary in Bra
I'll, who made a brief report on the work
there. and asked that, If possible. the WASH
ington body take up the support OF a secre-
tary In South America. thus completing the
chain or workers in service around the globe
and upon every continent. A letter was
read from Mr.. Fred B. Smith. now on a tour
or the world, who expects to return in Nav
and deliver his first home address before the
Washington branch
Mr.. Hall. who is a Baltimore detective
was then introduced. He has been a fellow
worker with the great evangelist Dwight
l.. Moody. MIR. Halls power lies in the sim
pie story he tells of his own conversion and
OF his experience in saving souls while en-
gagged IN his detective work. He showed
conclusvely that man can take God into
his everyday life and work In Undressing
upon ms audience the Importance Of start
ing Alright he told of his narrow escape from
INC siil VI incompetence, and said when he
round himself on the downpard path he gave
the order. Halt, about face illustrating
the turning point In his career by striding
UP and down the stage. He laid special
stress on the promise that the seed of the
woman shall bruse the serpents head" and
made the unique statement that woman had
done her work well. in fact. giving the devil
very black eye. The speaker told several
stories illustrative Of how. God enters into
mans daily work and shows His presence
today as truly as in the olden times
Toward the conclusion Of his talk Mr. Hall
stated that he had purchased on the pre-
ceding day an excellent Bible for the mean
est sinner in Washington" and If he would
come forward he could have it,
For l know he Is here" added the
speaker.
Amid the applause Of the audience a young
soldier came up to the stage and took the
Bible. From this Mr.. Hall drew the lesson
of failure to accept Gods free gift to us
because we can't get up nerve enough to
come up front and take It."
Now said he, you all wanted that
Bible, but only one had the courage to come
and get 1t. and he wouldn't have come I'M
less he had believed that meant to keep
my word and give 1t to him"
AT an aftermeeting of the Yoke fellows a
short Bible study was held. led by Commits
sioner H. b. F. Macfarland.

ABOUT GIVEN UP HOPE
LAST WEEK OF LIFE FOR AUGUST
SHAFFER.
Condemned Murderer to Hang at Dis
trict Jail Friday Unless Presi-
dent Interferes.

August Shaffer. who is under sentence
of death for killing his divorced wife, has
about given up hope of executive clemency
and is paying attention wholly to spiritual
matters. Some of his friends hope the
President will give him short respite in
order that they may have additional time
to present his side Of the case to the Presi-
dent and Attorney General Moody.
Shaffer was visited yesterday morning
by the Rev. Father Waters. assistant pas
tor of the Church of the Holy Comforter,
of which the Rev. Joseph l. Mcguire Is
pastor The priest administered holy COM
munion and remained with Shaffer some
time Later in the day the Rev. j. w.
Steele. Superintendent of the Central Union
Mission, was a caller. He is friend OF
the family and has visited Shaffer IN jail
a number of times. DR.. Steele recently ao-
dressed a letter to the President, asking
for a Communication of sentence for Shaffer.
but has not received response. Speaking
to Star reporter this morning he SAID he
thought the President would grant re-
spite.
Holding Up Well.
Despite the severe strain under which
Shaffer must necessarily be iaboring ne Is
holding up we'll. His health is good, and
prison life does not seem to have done MIN
any injury. Being under sentence of death
does the ordinary prisoner. Just now ne
has the freedom of the corridor twice as
long as the other prisoners. Yesterday ne
was out of his small apartment most OIL
the day During the religious services IN
the afternoon, which were conducted oy
DR.. Steele he sat on the steps. out was IN
a position where those attending the serV-
ice could not see him. A number OF per-
sons went to the prison yesterday and at
tended the services merely for the purpose
of getting a glimpse of Shaffer. but they
were disappointed as he left the steps just
before the close of the meeting and returned
to his cell.
Sees Only Intiruates.
Shaffer positively refuses to see any per
sons who call through idle curiosity. Sat
urday afternoon he saw his mother and Sis
ter They remained at the Jail about an
hour. His mother will see him again be-
fore Friday should the President decide not
to interfere with the enforcement of the
sentence of the court. She has been con-
slant visitor at the Jail since his arrest and
conviction and it is only on her account
that the Jail guards fear he may break
down at the last moment. Shaffer refuses
to see reporters and has not discussed his
case with anybody outside his own family
and a few close friends
Warden Harris abolished the death watch
shortly after he was appointed warden. but
takes other necessary precautions in cases
of persons who are under sentence of death.

Kills Inside Germs.

The greatest value of Liquozone lies in the fact
that 1T kills germs in the body without killing the
tissues. too. And no man knows another way to
do 1t. Any drug that kills germs is poison. and
It cannot be taken internally. For that reason
medicine is almost helpless in any germ disease.
Lquozone is germicide certain that we pub
lish every bottle offer Of 81 900 for disease
germ that 1t cannot kill. Yet it is not only harm
less but Of wonderful beneft-better than nything
