The Housekeeper Was Slightly
Wounded Trying to Prevent
Assassination
DISPUTE OVER THE CHURCH'S
AFFAIRS BELIEVED TO Be MOTIVE
Four Suspects Have Been Arrested
But the Housekeeper, Who Was the
Only Witness to the Affair Is Unable
to Identify Them.

Newark, March 10-Rev. Father
Erasin, rector of the Polish church of
St. Stan1slau, was shot and almost in
stantly killed by three masked men in
his rectory early today. Miss Antonio
Sewrzytska. the housekeeper for the
rector, who attempted to prevent the
assassination, was slightly wounded
in the abdomen. AS there has been a
dispute among the leaders of the
church over its affairs. the shooting
was at first believed to have been the
.:ccome Of that disagreement. Four
suspects have been arrested, but the
housekeeper. who was the only wit
ness, was unable to identify any of
them.
Father Ensign was assigned to the
church by Bishop O'Connor last fall
after the former rector had been ter
rified into fleeing from the city. Strong
opposition developed to Father En-
sign and he was threatened many
times. The police said that Father
Ensign had been collecting funds for
a new church and that this was the
cause of the trouble.

far enough. BY recent New York
statutes the children of the tenement
are protected against the presence of
prostitutes and the property itself is
liable for judgments. 1t should be
possible to punish the whole brood of
men, from the highest to the lowest,
who make commerce of girls. AS
Secretary Straus has recently said:
ut is highly necessary that this dia-
bolical traffic, which has attained in
ternational proportions, should be
dealt with in manner adequate to
compass its suppression. No punish
ment is too severe to inflict upon the
procurers in this vile traffic"
New York's act, so commended, was
outlined by Secretary James Bronson
Reynolds of the National Vigilance
association in endorsing the measures
framed by Assistant United States
District Attorney Parkin and propos-
ed by the Woman's World. who said:
"The practical wisdom of Mr.. Parkin
is further evidenced in his pro-
posal of penalty not to exceed
$1,000 to be- imposed upon the keeper
of house of ill-repute, and the max
ing of such penalty a lien upon the
premises involved. 1t happens that
in 1900 l was member of a New York
State Tenement House commission,
appointed by Governor Roosevelt, and
was chairman of subcommittee on
the moral conditions in tenement
houses. Our subcommittee approved
a suggestion of our counsel, Mr.. Ed
ward NJ. Whitney, to make it pen
atty for any landlord to keep a woman
of immoral character in tenement
house after he had been formally no.
titled by the police of her character.
The penalty imposed was made lien
on the house. to be collected from
the rents, irrespective of ownership.
This recommendation was approved
by the commission and became law.
1t resulted in the almost immediate
cleaning out of women of undesira-
BILE character from tenement houses
in New York city. 1t struck most
deadly blow at immortality in tene-
ment houses. am, therefore, able to
confirm. through the practical exper-
ience Of New York, the feasibility and
success of this particular recommen-
dation, or at least the value of the
penalty imposed"

Legislature

Chicago. March 10.-Skulking op-
position to the white slave bills'
now pending in the Illinois legisla-
ture. declared to be in behalf of the
underworld, was vigorously denounc-
ed by the Illinois Vigilance associa-
ton in public warning to expose
the activities Of white slave dealers,
some OF whom mustered powerful po-
litical influence. recommendations of
the National Vigilance association
were also endorsed advocating a
fourth measure proposed by the
Woman's World and sidestepped by
legislators. designed to hold property
good for offenses of white slavery.
THE two bills recently introduced
into the Illinois state legislature by
Representative Leder relating to the
white slave traffic, one making .it a
felony to secure support in whole or
in part from the earnings of a prosti-
tute. the other making it a felony to
detain any woman in disorderly
house for any claim or debt, are very

was to be expected that the under

fully and cautiously oppose the en-

are either directly interested in the

IN WRONG PEW
Married Preacher Fell in Love With q
Female Church Worker.

Charlottesville, Mo-. March. 10.-The
Rev. Lyman F. Jackson, pastor of the
Methodist church, says he is willing
to stake anything on his love for Miss
Cora Short. a school teacher and
from his pastorate.
The Rev. Mr.. Jackson has wife
and family. Mrs. Jackson, with her
three children has left for her parents
home in Wichita. Kan. AS she told
Jackson goodbye at the train she
said: Husband, if the time comes
that you can live with me as you used
to let me know or come"
The minister says he kept his wife
affection for Miss Short and that he
has not deceived her. They both, he
says. have decided that the old love
Of their early married days is dead,
and that it is better for them to take
separate paths.
Pastor Jackson has publicly con-
fessed that his heart has wandered
from his wife. He says that through
the potency of this great, new love
he is better qualified than ever Ito
serve the Lord"
His first confession to his parishion-
ers was made when self-consituted
committee of women members of the
church waited upon him following
services recently. He admitted with
out hesitation that he loved Miss
Short, asserted that Mrs. Jackson had
been told the facts and denied that he
had done wrong.
