PARSON ASSAILS
WOMEN GAMBLERS

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
NEW YORK, Oct 31.-Women's or
ganizations are to-day planning an an
swer to the Rev. Frederick Lynch, pas
tor of the Pilgrim Congregational
Church who in a sermon last night
declared that more women are gamb-
ling to-day than ever before in the his
tory of the world and that the passion
for gambling makes women steal and
neglect their babies.
wives steal from husbands, said
preacher, husbands speculate and
steal from the bankers. and the man
ager forges to pay his gambling bills,
and the office boy steals postage
stamps and change when he should
be at luncheon. This vice leads to di-
vorces, arrangements and enmities,
and is a most prolific cause for muir
der and suicide. IL has a very decided
degenerative influence on women.
Where once they read books they are
now crazy about bridge. Gambling is
next door to stealing for the winner
takes something for which he gives
no return, but that seems to be one
reason why women like it. Not even
the soft arms Of ones own child about
her neck can satisfy the woman in
fected with the gambling fever"
