DETECTIVE WHO
WENT FOR ARCHER
BROKE IN SEATTLE
Sergeant Tuite Is Sending Fran-
tic kilograms to Depart.
ment for Funds,

The principal news from Seattle to-
day, where the State of New Jersey Is
trying to get possession of Elliott A.
Archer to bring him back here to an
swer charges of forgery, consisted of
frantic kilograms for money from De-
tective Sergeant Frank Tuite and Pros
ecutor's Detective Walter Godfrey.
Captain Carroll, of detective head
quarters, has received two kilograms
from Tuite since Saturday. The first
said he was short of money and asked
that more be telegraphed to him. The
second is somewhat frantic in tone and
reads:
I'm stranded way out here. Rush
$50 by telegraph at once"
Nothing has been heard as to the ef-
feet Governor Forts telegram of Sat-
urday might have had on Governor
Mead's determination o to let Archer
be e~xtradited. Governor Fort heard
that Governor Mead feared Archer was
wanted in Newark more for the collec-
ton of a civil debt than to pay the
penalty for a crime, and he %thereupon
sent a telegram to Governor Mead, re-
assuring him that there was no purpose
to collect a debt, and that Archer was
wanted to answer the charges of crime
against him.

MUSIC HELPS WORK OF
CHURCH., SAYS PASTOR.
Rev. Theodore N. Shipherd Talks
of Harmony and Religion.

Religion and Music" the close rela-
tionship existing between the two and
their inter-dependency, formed the SUBJ
ject of an address by the Rev. Theo-
dore M. Shipherd at a special praise
service last night in the Belleville Ave-
nue. Congregational Church.
Mr.. Shipherd called attention to the
apparent necessity of having music at
religious services, which he declared
was universally recognized; the devel-
opment of the art for which religion
was directly responsible, and the ad-
visibility of employing the sweetest
possible music in churches to soften
the hearts of the ~unrepentent and
bring them to the church.
The service was given under the di-
rection of Charles Grant Shaffer. A.
q. Balcom sang a baritone solo, and
Mrs. Dora Becker-Shaffer, widely
Known in this country, played a violin
solo.

planning conquered worlds for her ten

when she saw her boy grown to mans
estate, whose every wish and every
heart throb since God has blessed her
with a son has been for his happiness.

brother, 'on her shower o III love inc

wont in boyhood days; make her feel
that your affection is a living thing.
