BOY BURGLAR IS CAUGHT
CLAUDE LUMLEY BAFFLED Po-
LICE OF MELRoSE, IA.
Four Robberies In Rapid Succession
Occurred at Railway Station,
Aggregating $93.03.

Des Moines, Aug. 2S.-Facing four
separate charges of breaking and en-
tering the C. B. & Q. depot at Melrose,
Ia, and carrying away money to the
amount of $93.03, Claude Lumley, the
15-year-old son of prominent hard
ware merchant at that place, was ar
rested at the Rock Island depot yes
terday afternoon by Patrolman Joe
Donoghue.
Lumley was later turned over to the
custody of Special Agent ]. M. Harri-
son for the railway company and made
complete confession of the crime, re-
citing in detail the means by which
he gained access to the company's
safe and succeeded in covering his
guilt.
Four robberies occurred in rapid
succession at the depot in the little
town, the first taking place about Aug.
10, the others following on Aug. Is,
Is and Saturday night, Aug. 81. Each
time the safe was entered and the
days receipts stolen, together with
number of tickets of small value.
The largest amount secured at one
time was SGT, the whole of the four
robberies aggregating $9303, which, to-
gether with the stolen tickets brought
the loss up to near 800.
The police department in the town
was helpless and the railway company
becoming alarmed at the frequency OF
the robberies, detailed Special Agent
Harrison on the case.
Suspicion was directed toward Lum
ley, although no evidence could be SCI
cured to indicate his direct connection
with the robberies. On last Tuesday,
following the robbery, Lumley disap-
pered from the town mysteriously and
the suspicious of the Deceive were
confirmed. A description of the boy
was forwarded to Chief of Detectives
Johnson, which resulted in his arrest
yesterday afternoon by Patroiman
Donoghue.
At the Office of the chief of detec-
tives Lumley for a long time retained
his composure and denied the charges
vehenently. Under pressure brought
to bear by Special Agent Harrison,
however, he broke down and made
complete confession.
He was returned to Abba last night
by Harrison and a formal charge or
breaking and entering lodged against
him.

prompted the report that Bishcp Car
roll Is recommended as first choice
Bishop Keane as the second, with the
possibility of Msgr. Flavin or one OF
the other bishops named as the third
shoice.
Popular opinion is that the bishops
will follow out the recommendation
of the rectors. In fact there Is per-
feet harmony throughout the archdio-
cese, and 1t is believed that the mat
ter has been canvassed informally
among the interested parties to such
extent that practical understanding
exists and that the recommendation
of the different bodies empowered to
make them will be in endorsement OF
each other.

AMONG THE CHURCHES.
Items of Interest Cleaned From Pull
pit and Sactuary.

In the absence of the pastor, DR..
Krizer of the Oskaloosa Christian col
lcge filed the pulpit Of the Christian
church both morning and evening, and
very acceptably to the congregation.
Morning theme, "A Come Down." TAX
ing his text from Luke 1885; Zach
Gus. make haste and come down, for
| must abide at thy house. AndZach-
eus made haste and came down and
received Him joyfully." DR.. Krizer
in opening described the city OF Jeri-
cho and then referred to the import
ance of the meeting, for Christ was
passing through the city for the last
time and He was an unlimited guest,
yet welcome. Conventionalities were
oyerruled. He mentioned the obedi-
ence of Zaecheus, it's far-reachinS re-
suits, it's promptness and the fact, oil
it's ioyousness. He stated that II more
modern men worked as hard for the
upbuilding OF the kingdom as they do
in their business, the kingdom would
grow rapidly. The ready response OF
Zaecheus and the unexpectedness OF
some was then mentioned. The doc
tor spoke of the classes of people who
hurry up into the sycamore tree, fig
uratively, but do not come down and
worship and obey. Part of the classes
mentioned were fault-finders, ego
lists, and self-righteous, and he ex-
pressed the desire to awaken them by
saving off the limbs on which they
rested. The joyfulness Of religion
and. the results of spontaneous help
fulness were emphasized. At the
morning service Miss Reeder sang
solo, Let Not Your Hearts Be Trou-
bled," which was rendered very
sweetly. In the evening the doctor
spoke from the text in Romans $50.
The Sunday school reached the low
mark on Aug. %. The attendance
Aug. 30 was 2S1, offering $,.T. We
are planning for a homecoming day
Sept. 26, when we hope to have all
of our workers with us and all at
work. Good interest is manifest in
the school and we expect to have a
larger and better school during the
fall and winter months than ever be-
lore.

Central M. {. Church.


The attendance of the Sunday
school was 310 making an average OF
293 for the month of August. The
public service in the morning was
given over to the reception of new
members. Dr. j. A. SpylIer assisted
Dr. Allen in the opening exercises
and Miss Ora Meredith of Newton
favored the audience with vocal
solo of exceptional merit. The total
number baptized was 20; adults and
young people 10, children /. Receiv-
ed by letter and new members re-
ceived from probation, 40. DR.. Allen
published a special greeting to the
new members in the church Bulletin,
which was so good that we take the
liberty of reproducing it here:
Dear Friends:-You are large
company who come seeking admis-
sion into the church today. We con-
graduate you. 1t means much to
Christ, much to yourselves, much to
us. The whole church has watched
your progress with joy. Even your
friends outside the fold rejoice with
you on this occasion. 1t is a time
for general good-fellowship. But
there is hard work ahead. Compan-
ions must be won for God. The in
terests of Christ's Kingdom must be
guarded. You must grow in grace.
Never apologize for your Master or
your church. Apologies discount any
how. Get to your work. II everyone
ship by bringing in one soul this year,
and that soul another the coming
year, it would mean over one thous-
and new members inside OF four
years, nearly doubling our member
ship. But beyond mere numbers is
power, and power is the gift of God.
That you may be armed with power
and ahundantly prosper in your Chris
tian life, is the prayer of the church
and of your affectionate pastor, Gu
gene Allen"
The Epworth League service in the
evening was led by Mrs. J. w. Som
erville and goodly number of young
people were present. At the public
service, DR.. Allen preached from the
text as found in the first chapter OF
Colossions and the last clause OF the
9th verse: Which is Christ in you,
the hope of glory" The discourse
was particularly fitted to the new
members, which had been received
recently into the church. During the
evening one was baptized, one was
received by letter and five were re-
ceived from probation. The total
results of the day were as follows:
Baptized 81, received on probation,
A; received by letter, 6, and received
from probation, AS. These, with the
new members received Thursday ev-
ening last, make total OF so new
members received during the week.
We understand that there are still
others to be received at later date
and yet the event made it indeed
