ON. TERM.

The House OF All Nations, so-called,
at ST. Antoine and Champlain-sts., II
nothing more than breeding spot for
crime and an eyesore TO the commun-

Phelan, Thursday morning, In SEN
fencing George Elliott to Jackson pris'
on for not less than five nor more
than 10 years, with the recommends
ton that he be released at the explra-
ton OF the minimum sentence.
II was in the House OF All Nations
that Elliott was arrested on charge
OF being implicated In the robbery o.
the Observation-Disclosures Co.'S shoe store
on Pingree square, and the place has
figured prominently in many another
criminal case, including one now on
trial before Judge Phelan, in which
the defendant is charged with an un.
namable offense.
Elliott was found guilty by a jury
several days ago. His pal, Martin
Duver. arrested in connection with the
same job. was recently sentenced to
Marquette for 10 years for violating
his parole on another charge.
Elliott told the court he was not
mixed up In the shoe store robbery
and declared that Joseph Bolda, an
other young habltue OF the House ii
All Nations, knew more about the case
than he did. BolGa was witness
against Elliott and 1t so happens that
he is also the complaining witness in

SEVERE JOLT FOR
ROOSEVELT IN
REPORT
RESTRICTION OF SECRET SERVICE
NOT MADE TO PROTECT GRIMM
ALs-NEvER INTENDED TO
BUILD UP spy SYSTEM.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Presldent
the report OF the subcommittee OF the
senate committee on appropriations,
which was made public today. Sena.
tor Hemenway, chairman Of the sub
committee. in presenting the report,
stated that the last congress appro'
priated 100000 which is available
either directly or indirectly for pro-
tecting the government against
frauds and violations OF the law. 1t
could hardly be charged that the
amendment to the Sundry civil bill
which affected the transfer and detail
Of 65 men was made in All attempt 10
protect criminals, when the same con-
gress that adopted this amendment
appropriated nearly 100000 more
than was ever appropriated before.
Near the conclusion OF its report
the subcommittee rebukes the presi-
dent in the following language:
II the amendment 20 the sundry
civil bill for the current year 1909 has
operated as a restriction upon the use
CT secret Service employees. such re-
striction is so technical and limited
in character that Ii does not appear
sufficient 10 warrant the impugning
OF the motives OF congress in adopting
the amendment.
The scope OF the work OF the secret
service division OF the treasury de-
partment might be enlarged so as to
enable IL TO Investigate violations OF
law under the jurisdiction OF that de-
partment, but TO give II authority to
conduct all governmental investiga-
tons woulG. in the opinion of your
committee, be very unwise and result
in much conflict and friction between
the various departments.
cit has never been the intention or
any congress 10 build up a spy system
Of that character"

TRINITY CHURCH IS
HARMFUL To
CHRISTIANS
REV. n. T.. Fixes.
SETS STANDARD THAT CAUSES
GENERAL REvuLSiON TOWARD
RELIGION. DECLARES PASTOR
GLAD OF INVESTIGATION.

"The whole body OF christians SUI
fers from the actions OF such people
as the rector, wardens and vestrymen
of Trinity Episcopal church in New
York city. the holdings OF which rep
resent about 800, 100000 OF real es-
tate" said the Rev. Maurice Penfieio
Fixes. ID. d., pastor OF the WOODWARD
ave. Baptist church, in referring 10
the fact that resolution had been
introduced in the assembly OF New
York state asking for an invesuga-
ton OF that corporation.
1T is purely business proposition
and has been 30 for years" con-
tinued DR.. Fixes. Il am glad that
the legislature will take this matter
up because IL will bring to light some
revelations.
THE facts are that Trinity corpora
ton In New York is one OF the largest
property holders OF any private cor
poration in that city. An investiga-
ton was made some time ago and re-
vealed most astonishing conditions.
The corporation not only had stores
for rent. but also tenement apart
ments in the very worst part or the
city, where the people were living IN
filth and sQualor and under most un'
sanitary conditions. And this, under
the control Of a church. II is pretty
bad reflection on the church that does
It. 1t is q disgrace. A church should
stand for freedom from everything
that is communicating to its people.
There must be something wrong
with church corporation that has
500 600, 900 worth OF property, but
issues a statement that its holdings
are only worth SlS.000.000. Just imag-
inc an income OF 100000 a year II
is almost unthinkable. | don't know
how much the corporation spends In
legitimate work, but II is reasonable
10 suppose that 1t doesn't spend one
tenth OF II In legitimate work. can
not conceive of any other use to which
1t could be put than the rolling up of
more real estate. That sort OF thing.
to me, is unjustifiable.
81 don't wonder that business men,
when they get hold OF facts OF that
sort, shake their heads and have a
feeling of revulsion against the
church IL is so totally lacking In
the fundamental equality of christian
dealing How can one answer it?
can say. Thank the Lord 1t isn't my
church. but people don't distinguish
between churches. They place them
| all In the same category.
I'm the action Of the corporation,
there is an apparent hiding behind the
cloak OF church property fer the pur'
pose OF evading taxation. The cor
poration Is not dealing squarely with
the municipality OF New York in this
instance. and the matter should be
Investigated"

VAN GIBSON STOPPED
A WILD RUNAWAY

Charlie Van Gieson, brother of the
husky football player, and no mean
customer himself, saved the lives of
some school children yesterday after
noon by stopping a runaway horse in
the nick of time
He was delivering groceries for Lewis
& Co., for which firm he works, back
of Pond IS dairy below Diamond Head,
where the road comes down in a steep
descent. The road at that point was
well covered by school children, who
were playing all over everywhere.
The runaway came dashing down the
hill with broken harness on its back, the
reins trailing behind. Van Gieson made
a running jump and caught the horse s
bride, steering it to one side of the
road, where it was brought to a full
stop. He then led the horse back up
the hill, but could find no buggy or
vehicle to which the horse had been
harnessed. and SO brought it in to town
to the police station.
Spectators of the incident state that
if Van Gieson had not been SO quick
in his action there is no doubt that
some of the children would have been
run over, as they were playing in the
middle of the road and had not heard
nor seen the approach of the frightened
animal.
