RICHMOND, Va. November 19-Presi-
dent John Lynn Milligan Of the Prison
Association of America. after an inef-
fectual attempt. really lost his purse con-
tanning 1885,. The loss occurred after the
adjournment of the morning session and
as he was leaving the auditorium where
the sessions are held. Up to this time
the purse has not been found and Mr..
Ndlligan has no hopes for it's recovery.
It's perfectly silly he said. II have
Travelled over a large part Of the world
and / had to come TO Richmond 10 lose
my purse, and here / have lost the bloom

Tuesday Mr.. Milligan lost his purse in
the Jefferson Hotel but through the hon
esty of chambermaid 1t was returned to
him. At that time the purse contained
$500. When it disappeared yesterday,
however. there was only 1856 in 1t. The
loss had very little effect upon the spir-

in his other pockets to carry him through

DAMP SOCKS ARE DANGEROUS
DIR. sPALDING UNFoLDS SOUND
AND STRIKING THEORY.
Says He Always Carries Dry Hosiery

Sore Throat"

Some interesting and profitable advice
on the dangers of a preacher wearing
damp socks was given the Atlanta, Ga,
Baptist Ministers Association recently
by Rev. A. 7. Spalding. I. is rash negl!-
gence for any man to let his socks re-
main damp, the doctor explained. but
the preacher is liable in this respect
to particular temptations and disasters.
Then DR.. Spalding went on to unfold a
sound and striking theory.
when man is preaching" said
he, that is. if he is preaching earnest
ly, the blood leaves his feet and torso
and gathers about his brain. You all
know that every time you think, a
certain amount Of blood is required. 1t
is therefore natural that at the close Of
Il sermon. a preachers feet should be
cold. Moreover. the toe of his sock will

Causes "Clergymen's Sore Throat"
1t IS the lack of such precautions,
said the doctor, that gives rise to nine
tenths of the we'll known complaint
called "clergymen's sore throat
DR.. Spalding's remarks were prompt
ed by DR.. Julian Rodgers, who had
made some announcements in rather a
hoarse voice. The advice was received
with applause after which the minis
tiers INDUCED i'll q good deal of keen
speculation as to just how long a
preacher could safely and consistently
remain in the same pair of socks he
had preached in. Opinion on this mat

the pastor should make the change i'm
mediately; others that this would entail
serious embarrassment and oftentimeS
downright hardship, especially in these
churches where no study or anteroom
has been provided.

of property in this city. Joseph applied
himself to business and adopted a pro-

life and borrowed upon the property from
time to time until three years ago. when

Joseph in the hospital last night, but

seeking loans for which he had no Sc
curity to offer until Joseph finally refus-
ed him further advances,
Reuben, 1t is said has been here since
early in September, but where or how
he lived no one seems to know. Late
yesterday he appeared at Joseph's office
in the Rakewell building and asked an
other loan. Other tenants heard Joseph
refuse and order his brother to leave
the office. Reuben left. but soon return
ed, and. according to Josephs deposition
said: Il am here to kill YOU" He tried
to lock the door. and just Joseph at

into his breast. Joseph staggered into
the hall, where Reuben followed and fired
second shot, inflicting only a flesh
wound.
Another tenant took care of Joseph

One of the most successful banquetS
ever given In the Eastern Presbyterian

Ladies' Aid Society to the Mems Clup
of that church. Fifty-tive men were pres
ent and enjoyed the excellent supper
which had been provided for them. Pretty
roses and chrysanthemumS adorned the

club to the Ladies' Aid Society for the

evening the ladies were formally thanked
by a rising vote of the. men present
Capt. Hart called upon Rev. Charles L.
Neibel, pastor of the Eastern Presbyte-
rian Church, for an address. DR.. Neibel
spoke of the excellent work that 1t is
possible for such an organization as tlle
Mems Club to accomplish. His plea was
for strong united effort on the part OF the
men of the church in the church work.
He was followed by Mr.. C. NJ Shlnn'
who spoke upon the Importance OF the
Mems Club becoming dominant FACTOR
in the church life. The speaker stated
that in the early ages primitive men
were forced into small groups or socle-
ties for mutual protection from the evils
that lay about them, and this custom has
prevailed in all ages. So today the men
of the church need to be joined together
for. the. common good and TO combat the
evils Of our modern civilization One OF
the. best organizations for bringing about
this mutual protection, said Mr.. Shinn,

nity.' he asked. between arrest and in
dictment, another between indictment and
trial and yet another between trial and
actual punishment?' This he answered
by declaring that it is partly because
the bench and professional opinion among
the bar tolerate all kinds of dilatory, friv-
oious and often ridiculous proceedings on
the part of INSCRIPTIONS counsel intended
to cheat justice of her plain due; partly
because our lawmakers afford almost in
finite facilities for review of judicial ac-
ton to the criminal, although being very
stingy in allowing them to the govern
ment; but mainly because our laws show
little sense of the value to society OF a
speedy administration OF Justice"
Our Modern Criminal Law.
Mr. Bonaparte made the assertion that
"of all the peculiarities of our modern
criminal law, which are helpful to .un-
desirable citizens and harmful to the pub
lic in his opinion its gravest' and least
excusable deficiency is found in it's end
less delays. We have small judicial dis
tricts, intermittent seasons of our criminal
courts Judges sometimes overworked,
sometimes indolent, prosecutors some
times overburdened by their duties, some
times politicians rather than lawyers. All
this makes for delay and all that makes
for delay makes against the efficiency of
the criminal law.
''When the people of an American state
or the American nation decree death to
whOng0eVcY shall md
let the transgressor live for months and
years while lawyers wrangIe and juries
disagree and judges reverse each other,
there is room for doubt. and doubt in fact
