GIVES MORMONS
SEVERE SCOR|N c
REV. S. {. WISHARD SPEAKS ON
LIVE TOPIC
Members of Minister'S Union Listen
AttentiVely to Words of Condem-
nation Of the Followers of
Joseph Smith

The Mormons were given a severe
scoring by Rev. S. e. Wishard of High
land Park yesterday morning at the
Minister'S union meeting in the Central
Presbyterian church. The topic of DIR.
| Wichards S address was Mormon The
ology." He said in part:
THE Mormons embrace false religions
and show much bigotry in their fall
lacies. In Utah, where they are the
strongest, they claim that Adam was
God and that Adam and Mary were the
| parents of Jesus Christ and that the
priesthood descends to the Mormons for
the ruling of the world.
But the Mormons are deceptive.
When they branch out from Utah
among the orthodox and Protestants in
other states tney dodge their original
doctrines and fall into line as much as
| they can with those they meet in order
that they may practice their deception
and turn people to accept their system
| of carnality.
They claim that sin is a moral neces-
sity and do not believe in the confess
sion and the forgiveness of sins. Their
idea of the Holy Spirit is that it consists
in electricity and subtle fluid; that
their redemption is in saving them
selves, and they will laugh at you if you
claim that you are saved by any other
way
Omitted Some of the Bible
"They believe in the Bible when it is
translated according to their doctrine
In 1880 Joseph Smith began his inspired
CD work of transating the Bible, which
took him three years to accomplish
There were siXty-one points that lie
omitted from Genesis that did not suit
him. He fixed it up in a way that in
dicated that the living priesthood eX-
ceeded the teachings of the Bible.
THE Mormons have a convenient
method of getting out of trouble by
having revelations and as 80 per cent
of them are priests there is something
doing most of the time.
when the outside pressure became
too much for them they had revelation
to suspend their polygamy, but they
fooled the government to some extent
regarding their sincerity.
| THE Mormons are making great In
roads by their deception and chicanery.
They are trying to make the little stone
cut out of the mountain to crush out
the world, and If this continues there
may be bloodshed."
Rev. e. S. Chapman, superintendent
of the AntiSaloon league, sent a notice
which has passed the house and is be-
ing smothered by the senate, and urged
the ministers to take action for its
passage. 1t was decided that a COM
munication be sent to the state senator
signed by the president and secretary of
the union.

wells and is heavily Interested in sew
eral oil companies. Her home is at 517
California street, about one block from

The complaint against Mrs. Summers
is the outcome OF a great deal of in
eignation which has been frequently
expressed by neighbors livingN in the
vicinity of the stables. According to
these neighbors the odor arising from
the barn yard and the barn nearby
drove them to distraction and frequent
requests were received by the health
department to make Mrs. Summers
clean up the yard.
Since the recent rains the stencil has
become worse and 1t is said a number
of tenants of rented houses notified
their landlords that they would move
if the place was not cleaned up.
Mrs. Summers maintains in her barns
about 200 horses. These animals are
kept in what is said to be ramshackle
place which answers the purpose of a
barn.
In the barnyard a number of broken
down old oil wagons are said to be kept,
while in the yard the mud is said to
be about foot deep. This muck is
made by the mixing of oil with the
sand. and about it thousands of flies
are gathered at all times.
The neighbors say the place is a dis
ease breeding SDOt. IT is
by a high board fence of an unsightly
nature and it is said efforts will be
made to have the oil queen tear this
down and tidy up things generally

TRIES To MURDER
BULLET GRAZES PATR0LMAN'S
HEAD
Terrorizes Hospital for Two Hours
and Leads His Pursuers a Merry
Chase Before He Is Caught
and Subdued

James l.. Wilson, a patient at the
Sisters T., spital, crazed from an at
tack of pneumonia, terrorized the ocCu-
pants of the hospital for two hours
yesterday morning, when, armed with
a revolver, he barricaded himself in u
room and resisted capture with shots
II was only by narrow chance that
he failed to kill Patrolmen Mcdowell
and Harlan, who were sent to the hos
pital. Harlan's head was grazed by a
bullet and when the maniac shot at
Mcdowell the hammer fell on an
empty shell.
Wilson was taken to the hospital
from Seligman, Ariz., suffering from
typhoid-pneumonia. He raved in de-
llrium for two days and several times
was kept In his cot with great diff
Guilty. Yesterday morning he became
much worse and just as the attending
nurse was about to call for help he
leaped from the cot and shouted, Il
am going to kill you!"
Fires from Window
The young woman ran from the room,
closing and locking the door after her.
Wilson returned to his valise, which
had been left near his bed, and took n
loaded revolver from it. Four shots
were fired in quick succession from the
window of his room and the startled
halls and corridors. A call was sent
to the police station and during the
interval of the coming Of the police
armed attendants stood near the door
of the captives room, as he beat
against in a frantic effort to get out.
When Mcdowell and Harlan arrived
they entered the room, the latter first.
A bullet went crashing through the
door, grazing Haran'S head, and the
two men sDranp hack II was decided
to lay siege to the place until Wilson
should become quiet. and the two po-
licemen and the frightened nurses sat
down to wait. Nearly an hour passed
and Mcdowell climbed on chair.
Wilson was alert and waiting. He
snapped the revolver almost in the
policeman's face, but the chamber had
turned on an empty shell.
Tries to Run Away
Concluding that the man had
emptied his revolver, the two police
men burst into the room. Wilson, still
clad in his night clothes, leaped
through the open window and made off
across the lawn. The two policemen
ran out to catch him, and were Joined
by Policeman Shand, who had just ar
rived. Wilson, weak from his illness
and already exhausted, was quickly
everpowered and taken back to his
room.
No explanations have been made by
the management of the hospital of the
strange circumstance of q valise can
tanning loaded revolver being left by
the mans bedside. Little could be
learned about this feature of the affair
and the nurse did not know whether 1t
had been left there by an oversight
or whether the man had asked to have
