LECTURES AT SIDNEY
Judge Green Speaks On The Church
And The Law

ana ne Law
A special from Sidney to The Regis
ter and Leader gives the following re-
port of a lecture delivered there last
Sunday night;
Judge w. II. Green, OF the Fifteenth
Iowa Judicial District, lectured at the
Methodist Episcopal church in this
city Sunday night on THE Church
and the Law He devoted especial at
tention to the liquor question, gamb-
ling houses and paid his respects to
the express office saloons. He refer
red to the Hepburn-Dolliver bill, de-
signed to check this evil, which has
never got past the committee in con-
gress, and places good share of the
blame on Speaker, Cannon. He says
the reason such bills are smothered In
committee is because of political con-
tributions from the breweries and dis
tilleries. Judge Green said ifthe churh
people in Speaker Cannon's district
were familiar with the situation in
Iowa and would exert their influence
in political way there would be a
different story to tell. He spoke of
gambling houses being allowed to run
in cities in defiance of law for the sake
OF the money they pay into the city
treasury. As remedy for this he
would favor a law to place all such
moneys in the general school fund and
the official who would accept such mon
ey in violation Of his official oath in
the penitentiary.

publican Caucus And Elected by
All Republicans in the General AS
sembly.

The Republican Caucus was held in
the Capitol on Monday evening, Sem
ator Frank M. Hopkins of this dis
trict in the chair. After several
speeches were made eulogizing the
senator and his worth he was nomi-
mated for another term by unanimous
vote. In accepting the nomination
Senator Dolliver spoke in part as
follows: This nomination for senator
is valued all the more highly because
it comes, not from any one section of
the state nor from portion of the
party, but from all sections of the
state and from the whole party with
no dissenting voice If il were other

recall with satisfaction that in the can

by your un animous vote, there has

friends have felt secure in leaving the
whole case to the unbiased judgment
of the high tribunal designated by the
constitution to decide it, without in
reference of any sort. Under such
conditions feel at liberty to interpret
the action you bave taken tonight as
q public approval OF the record OF SER

In the death of Mrs. Gilbert Me-
MILAN, who was on January 4, a
victim of pneumonia, not only one OF
the first settlers of north Tama but
one of the most remarkable ladies
who ever resided here passed from
earth to a sure reward. Although
.eighty-four years old, she was as
active in both mind and body as the
average person Of fifty, up to the date
of her brief illness. Born In Ayrshire,
Scotland, July 10, 1922, Sarah Wilson
grew to womanhood under the elevat-
ing influences of the intelligent and
God-fearing people of thatregion and
was married to Gilbert Mcmillan in
1916. Ten years later the couple
came to America and in 1856 located
in Tama county, on farm at Four
Mile Grove, which for fifty years has
been the home of the Mcmillan family
and where the aged wife and mother
died. Eight children we're born TO
them, one of whom died and the others
who are married and widely scattered
were present at the funeral. Among
them are Mrs. Margaret Struthers of
Des Moines, and Mrs. Janet Stanley
of Audubon. Her husband died in
1890. She was a member of the Presby-
terian church and up to the time OF
her death could be found every Sab
bath the weather would permit in her
place In church and Sabbath school.
Her knowledge OF the Bible was far
above that OF the average person. 1t
was always pleasure and profit TO
converse with her. Shewas as delight.

who have been a blessing TO her and
an honor to the county.

Barrington's Plea Useless.

Jefferson City, June Herbert s.
Hsdley, attorney general, received
the mandate OF the United States
Supreme court In the case Of F. Sey-
mour Lord Darlington, under sen.
tence TO be hanged In st Louis coun-
ty for the murder OF James p. Nc
Cam, a wealthy St. Louis city turf.
man. The official document Is a
plain denial OF the jurisdiction OF the
federal court TO review the decision
of the Missouri supreme court con.
victing Darlington.
In this the federal court sustains
the contention OF Mr.. Hsdley that no
treaty between the United States and
England has been violated in the
trial and conviction OF the alleged
English lord, as contended by Bar
rington 10 support OF his own writ Of
error appealing his case to the Uni.
ted States court.
The attorney general has fled the
mandate with the Missouri supreme
court In banc at chambers. The
court meets Wednesday and will
then resentence harrington to be
hanged In Clayton, st. Louis county;
where he has been confined In jail
since his arrest, which occurred few
days after the body OF Mccain was
found in rock quarry In that coun.
ty.
Assuming that the court usually
allows thirty days time for a con.
demned criminal to prepare for
death, Darlington will be sentenced
to hang on date In the last OF June
or early In July. This will end q
hard fought legal battle for the life
OF Darlington, extending over a
period OF three years.
