which to arrange them. The poet
who most closely touched the whole
modern English-speaking world was
Tennyson, who was the greatest mas
ter of musical English. without the

would have been naught, and Words

CHARGED WITH A SCHEME TO DEFRAUD

Chicago, June 3O.-Birch F. Rhodus, Edward F. Rhodus and Tn omas Rhodus. organizers of the Central Life Securi- ty company and half a dozen sub sid iary concerns, were arrested tonight charged with using the mails in a scheme to defraud. The complaint upon which the warrants for their ar rest was issued was made by William M Ketcham; a United States postoffica inspector. He charges the Rhodus Brothers with violation of section 64S0 of the United States statutes and asserts that the letter used in the all legged scheme to defraud was receive l by O. M. Holiday, Melrose Park, III.
 The defendants were at once ar raigned on the charges, the hearing of which was postponed until July g. A bond of $15,000 was then filed and they were released. None of the Rhodus brothers would discuss the arrests.
 United States District Attorney Sims said that developments before the grand jury today were responsible for the arrests.

SUNDAY SCHOOLS
 ARE INTERESTED
"Great White Plague'' Is Ably Dis cussed at District Convention
 In Dallas.

Brown, Dallas County, June 30.-(Spe- cial. )-In a great outdoor dining hall, sky yaulted, with mural designs in the green and blue of ever changing tracery of trees upon the sky overhead, the Sum- day school workers of the West Dallas district gathered for their midday meal Sunday, a feature of the annual conven- tion session.
 During the day Miss Editor Rice spoke upon various phases of the work and con- ducted several conferences discussing pri- mary and junior work, the home depart ment, and so on.
 President w. T. Atkins of the Dallas County Sunday School association, ad- dressed ''The Adolescents," and appealed to and for the Baraca movement for help In reaching out to both the older and the younger members of the congrega- tions.
 The unusual feature of the convention was the time given to the consideration of the great white plague" with the presidents announcement that consump- tion or tuberculosis would have a share in the programme of ..le county conyen- ton meeting in Selma during July, and at the subsequent district gatherings.
 H. s. D. Mallory had agreed to make the address Sunday but was delayed in reaching the convention by previous en- agreements In his place Director E. G.. Routzahn of the American Tuberculosis Exhibition took up the subject. Director Routzahn was glad to be there, because they were "folks'--all folks are interest ed in this question, even though many of them must be told that they are. He was glad because they were Sunday school folks, as we must look to the Sun day school and to the public schools in Dallas county for most of the extension of special educational features intended for all of the people. And the public schools cannot do it all. Then this move- ment gives the Sunday schools of the rural neighborhoods a chance for that service to the human body to which we are led by the example of the Great Healer of 20 centuries ago. Then Di- rector Routzahn was glad that they were country folks whose interest in this mat ter is so important even though there is so much less of tuberculosis in the coun- try than in the city. Life in the coun- try in itself is not complete preventive against the disease. Then the white peo- pie in the country for their own sake and for the sake of the community in general must take some part in limiting the spread of the disease among the ne- groes, who are so intimately connected with the homes in both city and coun- try. It was suggested that some arrange ments be made for series of talks during the proper season when Selma physicians and others could be invited to visit some sections of the county and give informa- ton about the care of the body and the better sanitation of the country home. It is hoped also that some of the city Ba- raca classes may take one of the country Sunday schools as a rural parish with which they will exchange visits, and among other things have some meetings to discuss some of these health topics which would interest all

WHITE MAN KILLED
 BY NEGRO OFFICER

Chicago, June 30.-Because he objected to the arrest of white man by negro policeman and led a number of men on
 to an attack on the officer, Edward Smith, teamster was shot and killed by Policeman Mirtell Parker at West Madison and Aberdeen streets tonight Parker had attempted to arrest Thomas Quigley, driver of an ice wagon, who had broken down a barrier erected before some freshly laid asphalt pavement and started his team across the street.
 The foreman in charge appealed to Parker and the officer pulled Quigley from the wagon, declaring him under ar rest. Quigley attacked Parker and at the same time called on several other teamsters for help Led by Smith several men attacked the policeman, who was knocked down and kicked. Quigley broke away and ran, but Smith and his com panions continued to beat the policeman who then drew his revolver and fired two shots at Smith.
 The second took effect, Smith dying in- stanty. Parker Is being held pending the coroners inquest
