JAMES L.BRADFORD
MAY GO TO PRISON
Wealthy Citizen of New Orleans Got
One-Year Sentence for Conspiracy
to Defraud Government

New Orleans, March 19.-Unless sue
cessful effort is made in appeal to
the United States supreme court, 1t seems
certain that James l.. Bradford.
wealthy citizen of New Orleans, and at
on time prominent in social affairs
here, must serve a term in prison for
conspiracy to defraud the government in
land cases in the United States circuit
court. Bradford and William II. Wright
were indicted in 1904 for conspiracy to de-
fraud in securing the government land.
Bradford was sentenced to one year in
the parish prison and to pay a fine of
$4,000 and Wright to nine months in the
parish prison with a fine of $500. In
another case, similar charges We're made
against both Bradford and Wright, and
Bradford was given one year in the par
ish prison and fine of $500 and Wright
six months in the parish prison and a fine
of $3.50.
Bradford and Wright took writs of
error In both cases to the United States
circuit court of appeals, which yesterday
declared that there was no reversible
error in the record, and that the judg-
ment of the lower court was affirmed.

the story of the worlds moral and
spiritual progress: have misunderstood
all the signs of the times. Because he,
who was a man, claimed to be God he
was adjudged guilty OF blasphemy by the
Jewish Sandhedrim. lie was naile to the
cross because He had claimed to be God,
Calvary is a crime without motive, an
effect without a cause
THE story of the worlds progress,
moral yand spiritually, IL it is not the
story of an imposition ana a deceit, COM
pels our faith in the divinity of Christ.
Christ as God is the Divine Teacher
of men, and through faith in Him shall
we be saved. But belief in Christ means
the acceptance of all His teachings, in
their entirety, with no discriminating no
minimizing, no undermining. We are not
free to accept those teachings of Christ
that seem to harmonic with our ideas,
and discard those that are not con-
sonant with our view of things. All that
have come to a knowledge of Christ and
His divine teachings are bound to accept
Him and them under penalty of con-
demnation. He that believeth not, is al
ready damned
"On the other hand. if Christ demands
the faith of all mankind He must have
provided an adequate means for their in
struction. He owes it nj Justice to all
mankind either to have remained on
earth personally, or to have instituted an
equivalent of His continued teaching
presence.
What is the equivalent Christ did
provide? The question brings us to the
parting of the ways Two irreconcila BILE
answers are returned-one from the Cath
Ollie church, the other from all non-Cath-
Ollie churches. The non Catholic believes
that the private reading and interpre-
tation of the Scriptures is the divinely
appointed means of learning Christs
teaching"
The lecture tonight will take up the
Catholic church's answer to the question,
us the private reading of the Scriptures
the equivalent of Christs teaching pres
ence?"

ing with numbers of the Beaulah Bap-
fist church. colored, to listen to the hear
ing of the trial of Parson Scott, charged
with trespassing. and also Deacons War
rem and Wiley Torones, charged with ma

malicious mischief. and the matter came
before the Mayor this morning for hear
