A Christian Minister at La
porte Has Not Lived up to
His Preaching.
A VOLUNTARY CONFESSION
VINE, is MARRIED AND HE AND
HIS WIFE HAVE BEEN LIVING A
DOGS LIFE.

Laporte, Ind, Aug. 10. (Spl) l)-This
city was shocked today over disclOs-
ures made in the private life of the
Rev. Samuel Williams, pastor of the
for the last year. Before the official
board of the church last night he
he had led a dual life, that while he
had preached to people on Sundays,
and had talked to them of the sinful
ness of woldly life, and had exhorted
them to be Christians and live lives of
purity, he himself had been practic-
ing the very opposite. So amazed
were the members of the board that at
the conference following the pastor S
confession. they decided that he must
be mentally unbalanced, and that
many of the things which he had con
fessed to committing had either been
imagined or exaggerated.
The Rev Mr.. Williams's confession
to the official board was voluntary
and not the result of any discoveries
that members of the church had made.
though the conduct of the pastor had
been watched by few for some time
owing to the charge made some
months ago by a well-known woman
here, that he had Offered her indigni-
ties. At that time tie charges were
investigated by the board, and it was
decided that the stories of the woman
were too absurd to be believed. BY a
unanimous vote the board then decid-
ed to stand by the pastor.
An Object of Persecution.
Since then Mr.. Williams has been
the object of every sort of persecution
from anonymous sources, and this is
known to have weighed heavily on his
mind. The board believes that part
of his indiscretions, admitted by the
pastor are true, but that the larger
mart are due to hallucination as the
result of remorse and also as the re-
suit of persecution.
Mr.. Williams is married and he ad-
mitted that he and his wife had been
living almost a dogs life for some
time. owing to incOmpatibility of tenn
nerament. The couple are now sepa-
rated. and both declare they will new
er again live together but the church
hoard believes that neither will ad-
here to this decision.

FINAL MATCH IN
THE TOURNAMENT
Elmer and Hibberd Win Tennis
Championship Over Wig
gins and Gardner.
WAS A DECISIVE VICTORY
WINNERS OF THE MATCH Play
ED A SURE STEADY GAME AND
TOOK THREE STRAIGHT SETS
THE CONSOLATION.

Playing steady, sure tennis. Dudley
Elmer and Wilbur Hibberd yesterday
afternoon defeated Fred Virgins and
Frank Gardner, three straight sets
thereby winning the championship of
doubles in the city tennis tourna-
ment. The scores were 6-1, 6-3, 6-3
With the score 40 against them in the
third set, Virgins and Gardner made
a hard fight, but they could not over
come the lead of their opponents.
The victory of Hibberd and Elmer
was decisive, although the games
were pretty to look at. Virgins and
Gardner apparently did not play the
game they did with McCabe and Neff
in the semi-tinals. In the first set
they were wild, in the cecond, they
played better and looked as if they
had struck a gait that would land
them one or more sets. Then in
the final set, Hibberd and Elmer took
four straight and it looked as if they
would make it a love set.
The victory of Hibberd and Elmer
was largely due to their ability to
place the ball Seldom did they
slam the ball into the net, a thing
which Gardner and Virgins were fre-
quently guilty Of. The service of
Hibberd and Elmer was better. Wig
gins and Gardner wasted much energy
on their first ball, seldom making it
good.
The winners of the tournament each
get a dozen tennis balls. The conso-
latiOn will soon be finished, there re-
naming but two matches Campbell
and Harrington play WeiChman and
Bartel in the semi-inals and Nixon
and Davis are ready for the finals,

Former Richmond Boy Has
Finished His Term of Ser
vice for Uncle Sam.
IS DISGUSTED WITH NAVY
HE DECLARES THAT THE OFF,

DOGS AND THAT THE SERVICE
is A HEALTH DESTROYER.

Charles Glover. a former Richmond

after four years service in the Unit

years he has done service on the
cruiser Minneapolis. While on board
he worked at his trade, that of paint
ing. Glover is on his way to Seattle,
Wash, where his parents moved
from here some time ago.
Although Glover is apparently in
good health, had a coat of tan and is
weighing more than ever before, he
says that he is not in good physical
condition being afflicted with rheu-
matism and nervousness. He says
that he will never enter the navy
again and says his sympathy goes
out to anyone who goes into the ma
Wy, marine corps or army.
Glover says he has contracted
rheumatism from sleeping in the
damp and cold He says that the
decks of the vessel are always wet
The discharge of the heavy guns, he
assigns as the reason for his ner-
yOusness. Glover says that they got
exercise but that it did not over
come these difficulties and the ir-
regular hours for sleeping. Having to
stand watch made it impossible to
get a nights rest without a break in
it,
Glover has few kind words for the
officers in the navy. He. declares that
the men are treated like they were
dogs, as was done in the olden days
when the type of Seamcn was not of
the best. He says that the great ma
jOrity of sailors are men worthy Of
the best treatment but that the
young officers, graduating from Ann
apOis don't seem to realize it.
During his term of service. Glover
sailed much and has been in every
country in Europe, in Africa and 9th
er parts of the Globe. He was one of
a party of twenty-five from his boat
who saw the total eclipse of the sun
in Spain. Glover should he return to
the navy will be made assistant to
the master carpenter, position
which pays seventy five dollars
month. After serving in that capac-
ity there would be probability of his
being made master carpenter at a
salary of $500 year. But with these
inducements to lure him back in the
service Glover declares that he will
not go under the present conditions.

Complains of it to Rail-

MATTER is INVESTIGATED
THE ELEVATORS AT kITCHELL,
WITS AND BOSTON HAVE
BEEN HAVING TROUBLE IN
GETTING NEEDED CARS

indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 10. (SpD-
The Kitchell Elevator company,
which owns grain elevators at Kitch-
ell, Wits and Boston. all on the Chi
road, complained a few days ago to
the Indiana railroad commission that
it was unable to get cars for the ship
ment of wheat, and asking the COM
mission to see what it could do to
afford relief The company told the
commission that it had information
that on one day three cars were sent
to it's elevators, but that none OF
them had reached their destinations.
1t was charged that they had been
"sold'* by The train crew in Muncie,
and that a brakeman on a train told
the manager of the kitchel company
that cars were worth 81 each and
that he could have them for that
price. The railroad commission in
vestigated the matter at once and
obtained from the kitchel company
the name of the brakeman who is al
legged to have made the offer to sell
the cars. The commission sent the
name to the general freight agent of
the c. C. & l.. at Cincinnati. for his
information"
Secretary Riley, Of the railroad
commission, says that several com
plants of this kind have reached the
commission, and that in nearly ev-
cry instance the practice has been
stopped 1T is a nefarinls business, -
said Mr.. Riley. "and it comes vey
close to being a case Of discrimina-
tion against a shipper. The commits
sion is after such cases and has
succeeded in breaking up the prac-
tice in nearly every instance where
it has been reported"
