THE WAY TO FIGHT INTEM-
PERANCE.


ty-five countries, recommends
rigid restrictions and regulations
of the liquor traffic, but regards
as equally important THE need OF
educating the younger generation
to a true knowledge of what the
effect Of alcohol is upon the hu-
man system"
Recommendations by the Ameri-
can delegates include the follow
ing paragraphs:
Increased teaching as to its
character and influence should be
provided, TO conserve Industrial
efficiency in the commercial com
petition of nations, as well as to
promote two of the chief objects
of goyernment-the public health
and morals. "
The Courier-Journal advanced
the idea that education of the in
dividuaI rather than the prohibit
ton of the sale Of liquors, IS what
/ is needed TO put down intemper-
ance
That both whisky and beer are
enemies to efficiency. to character,
to spiritual Welfare. when used
without moderation, is admitted
by everyone from the most ar
dent PrQhibitionist to the busiest
bartender. 1t is, therefore, iu-
portant to teach the boy to avoid
intemperance, because bread win
ming i, difficult. competition is hot,
and the rewards 90 to the man
who best maintains his efficiency.
1t is important to teach the boy
that next in value to treasure laid
up in the other world liz which We
are taught to believe, health in
this world is the most priceless of
assets, and that without it life can
be at best but dreary, dragging,
struggle toward the grave. He
should be taught that to live sane
Is. to avoid eating and drinking
unwisely, keeps the vitality at
hood-tide during the years that
must be given by the majority to
gainfui occupations. and that
should be devoted by everyone to
useful activities. He should be
taught that sobriety is necessary
to self interest and self-preserva-
tion As we'll as self-respect.
The law that cannot be amend
ed or repealed-the law of re-
tributive Justice. which is formu-
lated in Holy Writ in the words,
The wages of sin is DEATH" is
not ALWAYS sufficient to restrain
the appetites and impulses of the
individual. Where it fails, al
though his knowledge of the nee
essary and inevitable results of
certain courses is clear and com
plete. laws made by legislators to
govern each and every man with
good set of morals do not meet
with success. -Courier-,Iournal.

into a box car, where he was held
prisoner fol an hour while the two
fiends took the woman mile and
half distant to the Mcintosh powder
house in the sandhills and there rob-
bed and assaulted her.
The holiness and ferocity with
which the men executed the outrage
is almost unbelievable.

hysterical sobs and almost out of her

and Mrs. Marjoribanks had in ths
yards. The explanation that they were
strangers and had only arrived .ew
moments before on a freight train
which was stiIl standing on the tracd,
was waived aside by the self-stylsd
officers. They declared the woman
and her husband under arrest. Point
ing qua at the man. they told him
to Pile into box ear and bolted AMI

turned to the woman and told her
they would have to take her to jail as
a trespasser. She declined to go and

of the men replied that he had a star
and that he would show her thou
sand stars if she didn't get move

The men then took her forciblv by

from the track. Pushing and showing
her when she refused to go any fur

swamps and ditcbes. the trio finally

keep the light in front of her and
keep going until she found the sta

Operator Gave Alarm
More dead than alive Mrs. Majori-
banks stumbled into the little teIe-
graph office at Abajo and asked for
drink of water. Operator Frear
gave her the water and noticing her
condition, inquired as to the cause.
She briefly explained what had oc-
CURED and the operator quickly tele-
phoned to Albuquerque for assist
ance. A small posse, consisting of
Watchman Newman of the Abajo
yards, several seal clerks and desk
men went out into the yards and
made search for Mr. Majoribanks,
going from car to car in an effort to
locate him. The husband. however,
had been liberated in the meantime,
after being held prisoner for over an
hour. A man passing on horseback
heard his cries for help and notified
Deputy Sheriff Felipe Trujillo, at San
Jose. who went to the car and freed
the imprisoned man. Majori5anks was
almost out of his head and told Tru-
jillo an iEcohersnt tale about the
hold-up. Truiillo was at first of the
opinion that Majoribanks was luna
tic, but finally believed his story and
quickly organized a posse of men and
began search for the perpetrators of

TRAGEDY A SHOCKING one
YOUNG WIFE or AUTOMOBILE
MANUFACTURER MEETS HoR-
RIeLE DEATH

st Micnaels, Md. June 25.-If EN-
NETT e. Roberts, supposed newspaper
correspondent, magazine writer and
author, was the slayer Of Mrs. Edith
May Thompson Woodill, wife of AL
bert Woodill, the Los Angeles automo-
bile manufacturer, and the ward of
Lyman j. Gage, former secretary of
the treasury, whose body was found
yesterday i. the Black river, near
here, he met swift retribution when
he was sho. and killed by sheriff's
posse at sour o'clock this morning,
near this @ity.
Ihs bodF OF Mrs. Woodill who was
20 years oid. was found nude and
with the skall crushed. She had come
east for visit to her father, Capt
Charles H. Thompson. Her husband
went home week ago. The woman
was last seen with Roberts and when
her body was found with signs of
foul pay, a search was started for
Roberts. Roberts recently bought a
farm near here and when his bunga-
low was searched bloody garments
were found there, indicating a strug-
gle.
This morning a sheriff's posse
started In search of Roberts and
came upon a single boatman rowing
in the darkness. The officers soon
surrounded him and in a few mo-
ments Roberts stood up in the boat.
The sheriff called upon him to give
up, when he drew a revolver and
fired at lis pursusrs. Instantly a
volley was fired in return and Rob-,
erts fell lead. A search of his cloth
ing revealed a number of letters and
bottle Of poison. The body was
brought back to St. Michaels. Rob-
erts did not utter word after he
was shot.
Death Seals Lips
Now that the lips of both victim
and slayer are closed. the story of
the night struggle in the bungalow
on the banks of Chesapeake bay. of
the efforts of the slayer to dispose
of the body and the motive for the
double crime may never be told. The
mystery of Mrs. WoodilTs anteced-
ents, her brilliant prospects. accom-
plishments, beauty and prominent so
cial connections. and the brutal mur-
der, itself, las created an intense sem
sation which was further heightened
by the death of the man in whose
company Mrs. Woodill was last seen.
Roberts IS little known here. He
was also known by the name of Rob
ert E. Eastman. There is some ques-
ton as to whether he was shot by
the posse or committed suicide. Jeal-
ousy may have been the motive for
the crime. It is not known how he
met Mrs. Woodill, but it is believed
both were smitten. A letter believed
to have been written to his wife, wa:
found in Roberts pocket, giving in
structions concerning his property
It was addressed to Mrs. Robert d
Eastman.
