BREWERY BONDS
CAUSE TROUBLE
FOR MISS LEWIS

Pfttsburg. March 15-There Is a lot OF
trouble in the Mary Brown Memorial
Episcopal church here. and Martha
Lewis. the pretty little Sunday school su-
perintendent is In danger Of losing her
job.
The Mary Brown church was built by
the late Captain s. s. Brown, famous
horseman. and Miss Lewis Is the young
woman of whom Brown thought much
during the latter years Of his life and OF
whom he took good care in his will.
It was for Miss Lewis the famous rae
ing mare Marty Lewis was named by
Brown.
In his will Brown left Miss Lewis quite
a lot OF property. and among the be-
quests was block OF $4,000 worth of
Pittsburg Brewing company bonds
II is the beer bonds that is causing the
trouble now. Martha Lewis Sunday
school superintendent, etc. has been told
by the church trustees that she must
give UP the beer bonds or get away from
the Sunday school superintendent
job.
It came out today that last night there
was meeting of the church people, trus-
tees and Sunday school people and Miss
Lewis, who also had been notified 10 be
present, surprised all by coming and TAX
ing up the cudgel In her own defence.
What was said inside that meeting has
not been fully made pubic, but all admit
that there was trouble. Miss Lewis defed
the church people and dehed them TO do
their worst.
resolution setting forth that Miss
Lewis had been guilty OF conduct pro-
hiblted in the church ritual on such and
such a page and that her position as SUI
perintendent of the Sunday school be de-
clared vacant was introduced. but was
not finally passed, and cooler counsel pre-
la l~,.s cd n
mittee to investigate. IL IL be found that
Miss Lewis really holds the beer bonds
as given TO her by he late horse owner,
she will be deposed.
Miss Lewis absolutely refuses 10 dis
cuss the matter and members of the
committee appointed to investigate her
case will not talk. Friends OF Miss Lewis
are more IAN indignant at the turn af-
fairs have taken. and assert that had 1t
not been for Miss Lewis Captain Brown
would never have built the church or left
IL $4,000, as was done.
