More Trouble Follows Former
Pastor of a Church in
This City.
HIS MARRIAGE is CAUSE
MONY AFTER SECURING DI.
vORcE WAS A VIOLATION OF
CHURCH LAWS.

Because of his hasty marriage fol-
lowing his divorce from Mrs. Elsie
Wilcox of this city, the Rev. G. B.
Wilcox, formerly of Decatur, Ind, and
at one time a pastor in this city has
been dropped from the Methodist
church rolls. When a pastor in this
city the Rev. Mr.. Wilcox was con-
nected with the Fifth Street NJ. E.
church. At that time he was popular
in the city and well liked by his par
ishoners. Following their marital
troubles. while the minister was To-
Gated at Decatur. his wife removed
to this city and makes her home with
a relative.
Only short time ago, this paper
contained an account of the remarri.
age of Mr. Wilcox. He now is located
at St. Louis. Mich, and married a
Decatur woman. who formerly was an
active member of the church at that
place. She was q social leader and
one of the best known women of the
town. She belonged to the church
choir.
Tenents Of Church.
The tenents of the Methodist church
make divorce illegal for any cause
other than adultery. Ministers are
forbidden to marry a person who has
been divorced for any other reason,
if the divorced husband or wife is
living. The law does not apply to the
innocent party to a divorce for the
cause stated nor to divorced parties
seeking to be reunited.
1t was to comply with this feature
Of church law. that the Rev Wilcox
was unchurched. The statutory cause
did not enter into his case, so the
church would not recognize the di-
vorce. Wilcox can not continue in the
ministry of the Methodist church
Mrs. Wilcox has been made the re.
cipient of letter from the official
board of the Decatur church. In ii
confidence is expressed in her and she
is praised for character and excellent
work while connected with the
church.

NAVAL TUG CAPS|zES
SEVERAL ARE DROWNED
CHARGES OF
WHITE SLAVES
Young Boys Claim They Are Held in
Peonage On Ranch Near Denver
Colorado.

DENVER, August ia startling
case of alleged peonage, in which it
is charged young white boys are fore
| ed to work for a rancher and when
they protest and run away are over
taken, brought back to the ranch and
flayed with a knotted rope until their
spirits are cowed, has been discovered
just outside the southern limits of
Denver.
Louis Shapiro now is under arrest
in the county jail where he was plac-
ed by Juvenile Officer ]. S. Phillips
because he was unable to furnish
$1,000 bonds.
Two of Shapiro's many alleged vic
tins are Arthur Mitchell, the 13-year-
old son of Mrs. Lucy Mitchell of 1924
West Tenth avenue, and Abraham
Goldberg, the 14-year-old stepson of L.
Pesachovitz, an expressman, of 2721
Gibbon place.
1t is claimed that Shapiro has been
inducing boys to go to a ranch thir-
teen miles south of Denver, offering
them light. work and picturing the
job more as a summer outing than
matter Of labor. Once at the ranch,
it is alleged the youths were COMPEL.
ed to do such heavy work on scant
fare that they soon sickened of the
place. Several times, it is alleged,
they attempted to run away and e.
turn to their homes in Denver. Each
time they were oyertaken by Shapiro
and taken back to the ranch. The
boys claim that Shapiro then flayed |
them with heavy knotted rope, beat
ing them back into a state of subjec-
ton. Two days ago, Goldberg and
Mitchell. made their way on foot to
Denver.
