grouping of their public buildings. The
federal building is part of this beauti-
ful plan There is but one material
that can be fittingly used in so large
an undertaking, and that is granite.
Notwithstanding this it has required
the best ability of our congressman,
Theodore +. Burton, to secure granite
for the federal building. The opposi-
ton to the use of granite came from
Leslie NJ. Shaw. / received it on good

DR.. HEWITT OF UNIVERSITY OF
CHICAGO DIVINITY SCHOOL
SAYS PASTORS LACK SINGLE
NESS OF PURPOSE.

Chicago. Feb. 15.-Now it is graft in
the ministry Not even that sacred
calling seems exempt from the spirit
of the all devouring greed. Pastors of
many of the leading churches gradual
ly have diverted their attention to
temporal affairs and the profession no
longer remains untainted. The cause
of inefficiency in the ministry today is
in the lack of singleness of purpose.
Such, in brief, is the belief Of DR..
Charles Edmund Hewitt of the Univer-
sity of Chicago divinity school, the hot
bed of theological criticism His views
on the subject were expressed before
the divinity students of the university
yesterday in an address at the weekly
chapel exercises of the divinity school.
Class Scored.
Ministers who become interested in
worldly affairs for financial purposes,
who introduce insurance agents to
their congregations, who speculate in
business enterprises, and especially
those who discuss business projects
and schemes Sunday afternoons when

work were scored roundly by DR.. Hew-

Greed and the commercial spirit
were deplored, especially in the min
istry. which, he declared, was not ex-
empt, and which, believing its work
too holy to be tainted is deceived.
The cause of Christ has suffered much
as a result. he holds, and all business
enterprises depending upon ministers

SAYS WIFE TRIED
TO POISON FOOD
LeCIaire Man Makes Complaint, But
There is Another Side to the
Story.

County Attorney Hamann. of Daven-
port, has been asked TO investigate
charges made by Alex Underholt, of
LeClaire. that the latter's wife has at
tempted to poison him. Underholt says
his spouse put poison in his food. but
that he did not eat enough TO kill him.
Friends of the wife, on the other hand,
say that the husband put the poison in
the food himself, being careful to use
little of it. in order to bring the charge
against his wife and strengthen his
case proceedings for divorce. The cou-
pie have long lived unhappily, and
have had numerous separations and re-
cancellations.
