Rev. Adolph Rossbach, paster of the Belfast
Unitarian church, occupied the pulpit of the
Augusta Unitarian church Sunday morning in
exchange with the pastor, Rev. Edwin M. Slo-
combe. Mr.. Rossbach preached an interesting
and thoughtful sermon from the text: Beware
lest any man spoil you through philosophy"
The speaker said, in part: This may seem
needless admonition to Unitarian congrega-
ton, as they believe if there is one thing that
will not spoil you it is philosophy. Yet there
never was time when this admonltlon was
needed so much as now. Science has become a
word much frayed at the edges and much is
said in the name Of science that is as narrow
and dogmatic as anything that was ever said
in the name of religion. Science is simply man
observing and recording the facts of his obser-
vation. A man cannot live without some kind
of philosophy. 1t doesn't matter whether you
are spiritualist or amaterialst as long as you
have not left out the facts. It has been said
that religion is man adjusting his soul to his
philosophy. The Unitarian attitude of care, of
scientific fear lest they commit themselves to
something has had its counterpart in the reig
ious ideas of the past, just has Christian Sci
ence and Mental Healing. Unitarianism as a
Gospel or philosophy will only be powerful as
it holds to all the facts and builds upon them.
"Unitarianism will go down and out so far as
does not recognize the Immortality of man;
mathematics is not the greatest science in the
world for God Almighty's universe is bigger
than angles" said the speaker in conclusion.

John Junken Is Taken to Des

sible Lynthing.
PoPUlACt HIGHLY EXCITED
Cell Mate Tells How Negro Planned
Crime While Still! in the
Penitentiary.

Des Moines, March 2. - John Jun
ken. a negro, confessed slayer OF
Clara Rosen at Ottumwa Feb. 5 last,
was brought to Des Moines at 8
o'clock yesterday morning by Sheriff
Griffin of Abba from the county jail
there. The slayer vas placed In the
county Jail here for safekeeplng, as
feeling runs high in Ottunlwa, the
scene of five brutal murders OF wom-
en-.
Junken is alleged to have planned
the murder at Ottumwa while he was
still an inmate of the Fort Madison
penitentiary, serving time for robbing
and beating woman. 1t has MS
boast that he would again do the
trick" if given a chance. He boosted
of his ability to attack defenseless
women. This information came in a
letter from Albert Evans, Missouri
negro, who was a cellmate With Jun
ken at Fort Madison.
cellmate Tells Of Plans.
"Junken is guilty of that crime, y
writes the negro Evans. He planned
it while still in the penitentiary, and
when he left l knew that it was his
intention to pull off the stunt as soon
as he had an opportunity.
Evans statement is given more
weight on account of the fact that
Junken killed Miss Rosen just a few
days after he had been liberated from
Fort Madison. He was released Jan.
10, and Feb. the crime was commit
ted.
Junken plans to stand trial and has
! made a request that we'll known ne
gro lawyer be sent to him for consul
tation.
Says He Was Full Of Dope.
81 was full of dope, l tell you -
chuck full of it." he moaned as he
| tossed about on his narrow bunk. He
| told the sheriff he had been chewing
! cocaine, but on the way to Des
Moines he said he had been eating
| opium. Any attempt he may make
| along this line to secure lighter sen
tence and escape penalty will be
fought by the state on the claim tina!
the crime was premeditataed.
The arrival of the mob from Ottum-
wa at Abba is responsible for Jun
ken's confession. He began Friday to
make his admission and at that time
Implicated Weaver, another Ottumwa
negro. But prior to this he had con-
fessed his guilt to another negro at
the Abba Jail. Junken will be given
an immediate trial.
