had been infatuated with the woman
and by her influenced to murder the
husband. The captain afterward took
his own life.

KRUTTSCHNITT SAYS CROP
PROSPECTS ARE EXCELLENT

NEW YORK, July Julius Krutt-
schnitt. vice president and director of
maintenance of operation of the Harr1-
man lines, says the crop prospects In
Union and Southern Pacific territory
are promising. No new extension work
has been undertaken in the last two
months.
Kruttschnitt said that the eighty
five locomotives recently ordered are
passenger locomotives and are abso-
lutely indispensable because of in
creasing passenger traffic, but on ac-
count of the prohibitiYe prices de-
manded by equipment companies the
Hartman system will do without $50
freight locomotives it needs, pending
a change in the price situation.

the church officers, who. he asserts, are
with him. He said that he favored
publicity being given to such matters
as involve ministers and women in
their congregation, deplorable as the
results are likely to be.
The church was crowded to the doors
during the meeting and many were
standing. Preceding the benediction
the Rev. Mr.. Holden, pastor, asked that
the members of the church remain fol-
lowing the service, and when h serv-
ices were concluded about forty MEM
bers remained. The Rev. Mr.. Holder.
spoke first.
'sYou have all read of the evil tidings
in connection with our church in New
ark he said, but Jesus had his Judas.
Mr.. Phillips went to that church to rid
it of sin and he ran right into it..
This woman confessed her sin and, l
blush to say it, with her pastor. This
was not the first time that suspicion
had fastened itself upon the pastor.
The officers of the church asked Mr..
Phillips what he knew about it and. as
a christian man should. he told what
had been told him."
MI. De Mott was then called. He
said:
81 know Mr.. Phillips very well; l
have entertained him at my home, and
I love him. This girl did undoubtedly
make a confession. She admitted IL
before ten men and her pastor, but she
said she had not made hat kind of a
confession. Mr.. Lumbar then bound
the deacons after they had demanded
his r~esienation TO say nothing about it.

CONGREGATION IS
SPLIT BY CHARGE
AGAINST PASTOR
of Girl-Accused Clergy
man Rally to His
Support.

A war hat promises to be marked
with all the bitterness possible In
church strife was declared today by
the factions into which the congrega-
ton of the MT. Pleasant Baptist
Church has been split through accu-
sation' involving the good name of the
Rev. w. T. s.. Lumbar, who recently
resigned as pastor of the church.
Vigorous denunciations of the Rev.
j. r. Phillips. an evangelist, who, 1t Is
declared, precipitated the row. were
made today by the Rev. Mr.. Lumbar's
friends. who assert that they will spare
no effort or expense in causing a
searching investigation and that
private detectives will be employed to
get at all the facts surrounding the
sensational charges. They declare that
the woman with whose name that of
the minister has been coupled Is a
myth.
Mr.. Lumbar said this morning that
as yet he was not prepared to tall
about the accusations made against
him.
ASIDE from the fact that I brand
everything as false" said the clergy
man, II have nothing to say. That the
whole affair Is malicious and false Is,
I think, apparent to everybody"
During the conversation with the
minister Mrs. Lumbar was present and
stated hat despite the rumors con-
corning the alleged misconduct of her
husband. the congregation was loyal in
its attendance and that in church
circles the spiritual feeling among the
members of the Mt. Pleasant Baptist
Church WAS evident.
That Mrs. Lumber does not believe
a word OF what has been said Of her
husband 10 evident. It was plain to
be seen that the relationship of the
couple was a. ~congenial and frank as
could be possible. There seemed to be
no doubt In Mrs. Lumbar's mind that
her husband would triumph in the
end.
Mrs. DeMott, wife OF the deacon who

was to exonerate the board. He did
not, but he did laud himself. I also
want to say that the woman made no
affidavit before the board, as has been
published"
II want to straighten this matter
out and make it clear" interrupted the
Rev. Mr.. Phillips. Did your wife,
Mr.. De Mott. visit this woman and
ask her whether or not she had con-
fessed to me?"
"She did, was Mr.. De Motifs an
swer, land she would neither affirm
or deny"
After Mr.. De Mott had concluded the
church members departed and the Rev.
Mr.. Phillips, assisted by Mr.. De Mott,
made a detailed statement in the Ease
