Preacher Gets BUSY.


Des Moines, Iowa, Feby. Is. BY
declaring himself bitterly opposed
to single standard of morality for
both men and women and by assert
ing that the double standard should
prevail, that men should be judged
always more leniently than women
and have more opportunities to
climb back into decency, Rev. Will
liam Boynton Gage, pastor Of the
Highland Park Presbyterian church
OF this city has started seething
discussion in which the leading
clergymen and moralists Of Des
MONIES are now engaged. SO far,
Rev. Mr.. Gage is the numerical ma
jority.
Il am not in favor Of the enfor-
cement Of single standard for the
judgement of both men and wom-
en- thundered the Presbyterian
clergyman from his pulpit last Sun
day evening, preaching on "The
Young Mans Conception of the
Ideal Young Woman" Continuing
he explained:
AS a rule girl or woman does
not hear as much profanity as a
boy or man, and certainly is not
thrown so much into associates of
evil. Her temptations and tenden-
cies in that direction are not so
strong. It is easier for her to be-
come Christian and, usually, she
joins church or is more or less
frequent worshipper with some con-
gregation.
In view Of these facts the single
standard of morality and moral
judgment is wrong. It is not fair.
1t is not just. The double stand
ard meets the demands of justice
and reason. When our boys have
the same environments as our girls
and are permitted to share with
them in the same pure atmosphere
in the days when character is for
mulated, then, and never till then,
will I stand for this measure"
Already the Rev. James A. Beebe,
pastor Of the neighboring Highland
Park Methodist church, has taken
issue with his Presbyterian brother.
In a public address he stated:
"That this double standard should
be defended by any one who believes
in the equality of the sexes is most
unfortunate. In the first place, this
doctrine affords too much comfort to
men of impure lives. Again, to ask
ask for men larger liberty in these
things than we allow women is to
put womanhood in greater peril.
"Then, too, the glory Of man is
in his strength. His claim to super
iority to the other sex is based upon
this fact. And he proves his claim
by Withholding many privileges, po-
litical and civil, from women, which
are their just dues.
classify that a man meets more
sin than a woman is no reason for
not judging him by the same stand
ard, for, if it is, it is not so bad for
business women to be lax as for wo-
men of the home, because these meet
much greater temptations than their
more secluded sisters, and see more
of sin than they. Yet, who thinks of
asking that women in business life
to be judged by a lower standard
than is used in judging the women Of
the home? Not even men themselves
Isn't it contemplate then, to ask this
liberty for men?

WOODMEN BRING SUIT.
Seek to Recover Deposit from Defunct
Bank.

Sioux City, Ia, Jan. 5.-The case OF
the Modern Woodmen of America
versus the estate of E. H. McCutcheon
and his bondsmen, as assistant treas
urer of the Modern WoOdmen, has
been reopened in the federal court.
The suit is for $100,15S, the amount
alleged to have been deposited in the
McCutcheon bank at Holsteen at the
time of the failure of that Institution.
The suit has been brought in the
name of A. N. Bort of Beloit, Wis,
head banker of the Modern WOodmen.
The beginning of the litigation may be
laid to the failure of the McCutcheon
bank, which paid out only about 90
cents on the dollar. The allegation IS
made by Mr. Bort, plaintiff in this
action, that the Modern Woodmen
have never received any part of their
deposit there.

RELATIVE OF MURDERED MAN
LOCKED UP.
MUCH FAMILY TROUBLE
Coroner Rattles the Skeleton and Or
ders Key Turned on Leading Citi-
zen of New HaVen-Death Caused
by Bullet Wound That Could Hard
ly Have Been Self Inflicted.

New Haven, Conn, Jan. 5.-Allan
Maxey Hitler, one of New Ravens best
known men and brOther-in-laW OF
Charles A Edwards OF New York, the
man who was shot to death in mys-
terious manner Tuesday night while
at the home of Charles A. Hitler,
another brother-in-law, last night was
ordered placed in the lookup at
police headquarters by the coroner
This action was taken at the end OF
five hours hearing at the cororer's
office. Hitler was there when the
order was given to take him to police
headquarters. He walked calmly to
the station house, but on reaching
that place began to gestulate wildly
and talk irrationally. He appeared on
the point of collapse from the mental
and nervous strain undergone by him
during the last sc hours. He was
locked up at police headquarters for
a short time by order of Coroner Mix.
1t was later explained by this official
that he wanted to have Hitler handy
on resumption of the inquest later in
the evening and that Hitler was
simply held as a witness.
Medical Examiner Bartlett who was
in charge of the autopsy has prepared
his report. 1t is said the report will
show that Edwards was killed by a
bullet of % calibre, which penetrated
the brain. The weapon used must
have been held very close to the head.
The point whether the pistol was held
by Edwards or another person is not
vet made clear as the coroner has
verbal report, but it is understood that
an opinion has been expressed that
such a wound might have been self
inflicted but in this instance it was
unlikely
Hitler and his brother, Charles A,
with former servant, Miss BenzOnas,
were called into the inquest by Cor
Oner Mix in the afternoon. For five
hours they were subjected to a rigid
examination. The line of the in
curry was almost entirely into the
affairs of the Hitler family, centering
upon the reported trouble between
A. Maxey Hitler, his brother Charles,
and his sister, Mrs. Edwards, wife of
the victim of the shooting. 1t has
been found that not only was there
bitter disagreement between the Hill
lers and Mrs. Edwards over the dis
tribution of the estate of
Hitler, but that Edwards had repeat
eddy told friends that he expected to
die by violence. The weapon used
against Edwards has not been found
although strict search for it was kept
up all day.
