after all the connections had been
made.

SOCIAL CRISIS DUE;
CRY IS FOR BREAD
ARCHBISHOP OF ST. LOUIS
GIVES WARNING
Declares Organized Charity as u
Exists and Is Supported Today
Is HypocrlticaI and Bid
for Notoriety
ev Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO. April 23.-Organized char
ity was denounced as a mere old Ior
notoriety and the average philanthro-
pist was described as modern Pnari-
see last night by the Most Rev. John
I Czlennon' archbishop of st. Louis.
The prelate's arraignment was made
in a lecture under the auspices of the
House of the Good Shepherd, and pe-
fore an audience of $500 persons.
1T is a recognized fact that we fast
are reaching a social crisis" said the
archbishop, with our millionaire on
one hand and the pauper on the other
When that day comes the philanthro-
pist sitting in his upholstered chair
will not arise to the occasion. He will
be told that it is l1ot lecture that
is wanted. but that 1t is bread.
"There are today philanthropists-so
called-who believe that by giving the
people libraries, that they might study
our present day philosophy, they are
accomplishing great good. And there
are others who spend their time IN
social settlement work or lecturlng on
the child problem.
"Constant.y they seek notoriety. Let
them go on giving away their libraries
and establishing their social settle
ments, but | want you TO understand
that philanthropy divorced from Christ
is not charity.
And l say. my friends. that the
philosophy taught in your schools and
universities today is just as brutal
as it is repugnant This philosophy
of evolution, emanating from the brain
of Darwin and Spencer, makes for
brutality and retards progress. What
| is the use of struggling If there is
! nothing to be attained? Where is there
an appearance of charity in this sys-
tenn? The strong succeed and the weak
perish" !"

SLAYER LYNCHED

CITIZENS OF SKID0O TAKE
LAW INTO OWN HANDS
SHERIFF ovERPoWERED; "BAD
MAN" HANGED
Joe Simpson Who Shot Prominent
Merchant of Camp, Explates
Crime on lmprovised
GalIoWs
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
RHYOLITE, New, Ajril 23.-Last
night citizens of Skidoo, Cal. ffty-fve
miles south of here, overpowered the
sheriff's guard and lynched ] Simp-
son, the gambler who shot and killed
James Arnold.
The lynch ng was accomplished qui-
city. and no one at Skidoo VIII profess
any knowledge of the deed.
There was strong talk of lynching
Simpson at the time of the killing OF
Arnold, but this feeling died away and
IL was thought that nothing would
come of it. The hearing of Simpson
was set for today, and as the time ap-
preached, in view Of the fact that the
killing was regarded generally as cold
b1ooded murder, the people of the min
ing camp again became wrought up and
decided to take the law into their own
hands.
There is no Jail in Skidoo, and Dep
uty Sellers. with a strong guard, had
been holding the prisoner in vacant
building pending his preliminary trial.
About o'clock a posse of masked
men surrounded the building, demand
ing the murderer. In less than ten
minutes premature justice had taken it's
course. Simpson was considered a
worthless character, and the lynching
throughout the mining section Is gen.
orally approved.
Arnold located the townsite of Skidoo
and was leavily interested in mining.
He waH formerly justice OF the peace
here and had been instrumental in
prosecuting Simpson on previous occa-
sions.
Simpson walked into Arnold's store
with the question: What have you
AGAINST me?" On being told by Arnold
that he had nothing against him, Simp-
son pulled an automatic pistol and said:
Prepare to die; I am going to kill
you" Instantly he fired, the bullet en-
tering below the heart.
At the time of the murder Gordon
McBain ;nterfered with the officers in
capturing Simpson by shielding Simp-
son with his own body. McBain was
arrested for interfering with an officer
and locked up in a pool room. At IL
o'clock last night the door was thrown
cpen and voice from the darkness
shouted: "McBain. run! They've got
Simpson" McBain dashed out into
the night without waiting to ask ques-
tions, and is supposed to be running
yet.
At the inquest held this mornig the
Verdict was rendered that Simpson
came to his death by strangulatlon by
parties unknown.
Simpson was q saloon keeper, and
had valuable mining interests around
SlSidoo. but was generally considered a
bad man. He claimed the killing was
done in self-defense.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-Impor-
tant inside information was conveyed
to the White House today by a prom
inent statesman that Senator La Fol-
lette is to be nominated for President
by William R. Hearst and the indie
pendence League, and that the speech
that Mr.. La Toilette will make in the
Senate tomorrow on the Aldrich bill
will really be a platform of the prin-
ciples upon which he expects to go be-
fore the people of the country.
Consequently the speech of the Wis
consin senator will be one of unusual
Importance, possibly the tentative plat
form of new national party. After
the President has been informed as to
what might be looked for in the speech
of Mr.. La Toilette the same informa-
ton was circulated to some extent in
the Senate, whetting the interest that
will be shown tomorrow when the
speech is delivered.
The man who informed the Presi-
dent as to the intentions of William r.
Hearst, who was recently said to be
planning to nominate the President
against his wishes or desires, is not
posted as to whether Senator La Fol-
lette will accept the independence
League nomination and make, the race
The inference is that he will do So if
he does not secure the Republican
nomination, for which he is a candi-
date, and will probably have the vote
of his own state.
The information as to Mr.. Hearst's
plans as to La Toilette comes from
man who is considered one of the best
parliamentary and political generals
in the country and he made the state
ment without qualification, asserting
his confidence in his authority,

Aldrich bill. In some respects his OPP
position to the bill is considered the
strongest to be offered At least it is
understood that he is to oppose the
bill and that he will do it in a vigor-
Gus manner that will cause the meas
ure, even if it becomes law, to be re-
garded with suspicion by advanced
radical thinkers OF the country.
What effect the announcement as to
Senator La Follette's possible can
didacy on the independence League
ticket will have upon his speech to-
morrow and upon the country in an
anticipatory way, remains to be seen.
By some it is considered probable that
it will lessen the attack that is to be
made upon the Aldrich bill; by others
it is considered probable that the coun-
try will give greater attention to the
speech than otherwise.
On the assumption that Senator La
Toilette may become a candidate on
the independence League ticket there
will be immense interest in the result
at the November elections, presuming
that Bryan is to be the Democratic
nominee and Taft the Republican. In
many of the western states there is a
strong La Toilette sentiment, and in
Nebraska, South Dakota, Kansas,
North Dakota, Minnesota and else
where the Ia Toilette people have
threatened to try to defeat the Taft
delegates to Chicago and send dele
gates of their own to the convention.
Up to this time they have been placat-
ed and have not shown much strength.
Some of Senator La Follette's friends
doubt whether he would accept an In
dependence League nomination If he
is to allow his name to go before the
Republican national convention. If he
sees fit to retire from that contest they
do not know what he would do, in
view OF his advanced views.
