WINNING Of SOULS
IS BEST BUSINESS
WORK FOR GOD BRINGS MAN
INTO TOUCH WITH ALMIGHTY,
SAYS DIR. S'rRATON.

Rev. Or. John Roach Straton, OF
Baltimore. preached to large con-
gregation Monaay night on the sub
ject of The Worlds Biggest and
Best Business at the First Baptist
church. where revival services are
being held. The sermon was the
first Of a series and was heard with
deep interest. He Will speak Tues
day night on The Most valuable
Thing In the Universe.
DIR. Straton declared that the most
important business iii the world Is
the bringing OF men into touch with
Gods Righteousness. The Kings bust
ness Ia the best business he said.
because It brings man into a partner
ship with God. Tho second reason
why the saving of souls Is the best
business. said the preacher, Is because
the field OF work covers the entire
world. He gave AS the third, reason
that a splendid interest Is derived
from the smallest Investment.
Dr. Straton delivered these state
ments after a discussion of modern
business methods and enterprises. He
defended modern business and de-
clared that most trade transactions
are on @ square and honest basis. He
said all honest persons should set be-
fore themselves the task of over
throwing the big rascals who place
| before the American people the bad
example OF dishonest and unfair bust
ness methods.
This La n Chiyairjc Age.
There Is more of charity. more of
| enlightenment, more of poetry,
| chiValry and romance in the TWEEN
| tieth century than In any age of the
| paat," DE. Straton asserted. And
ours Ia not only q good age but "A
supremacy great age, Ii requires AS
| much ability to conceive and execute
| great business enterprise such as
| the American steel industry or any one
OF our insurance companies or rail-
! way systems as It did to write Ham
| let or the Had or to win the bat
tie of Waterloo.
! Speaking of modern graft and dis
, honesty, he satd; The very fact thai
| there Ii so much publicity OF graft
! and dishonesty is IA proof OF progress
and not of degeneracy. Dishonesty
has always existed but the discussion
| OF II to-day demonstrates keener
public conscience against IL and con-
ditions are growing better all the
! time"
Dr. Wharton breaches.
"'Heavenly Recognition" was the
subject OF the sermon delivered by
DIR. III. M. Wharton, OF Baltimore
/, Monday night at the Grove Avenue
Baptist church. where he Ia assisting
the pastor, Rev. w. c. James, In re-
| vival services.
Despite the fact that few persons
| are accustomed to attend religious
services Monday night. every pew In
the church was occupied. There were
several professions OF faith and six
persons were united with the church
| making total of forty-five who have
Joined Grove Avenue church since
the beginning OF the series.
| Dr. Wharton took as his test: Now
| know In part, but then shall | know
| even as also / am known The ser
| vice will be concluded on Wednes-
day night ar Dr. Wharton must re-
turn 10 Baltimore ON Thursday. His
subject Tuesday night will be From

FAMOUS MURDER CASE
IN SUPREME COURT

Salem. Ore, March 25.-Arguments
were heard by the supreme court
Thursday afternoon In the case of
state VS.. Deputy Sheriff Joseph II.
Caseday, charged with the murder of
Ollie snyder jointly with Ben Hin
ton, Emmct Shields Earl Shields and
Albert Green. Caseday who was the
deputy sheriff for Grant county, at
the time, is now in the pcnltcntlary
under sentence Of death. The case is
one that created considerable I'll feel
ing in the eastern part OF the state.
About Christmas. 1909. Arthur
Green was killed in an alteration
which took place in a sheep camp IL
or I miles above Monument, in Grant
county by oliver Snyder, better
known as ollie snyder Deputy Sher-
I iff Caseday Immediately set out for
/ the scene OF the murder and took into
custody one snyder, who had already
/ been apprchcnded and was being
brought IN by DR.. E. r Norris, a ply
| sician, and two other citizens OF Mon
ument.
The next day while proceeding to-
ward Canyon City with his prisoner.
. N'4H'AHy was il'll up ny a lliAb anu
the prisoner taken from him and
killed by shooting. Caseday was tried
with the others of the mob for con-
niving with them to bring about the
murder Of Snyder. Albert Green. in
dicted as one Of the conspirators, was
a brother of Arthur Green whom
Snyder had killed in the sheep camp.
The legal points involved princi-
pally related to the refusal of the trial
court to allow the defendant change
Of venue. 1t was argued by his attor-
ney that the state of public feeling In
Grant county was not such as would
allow the prisoner a fair trial. A point
was also raised as to an irrcgularity
| in empaneling the jury but the state
maintained vigorously that in neither
case were the rights of the defendant
} jeopardized by the rulings of the court.
For the state Attorney General
: Crawford and Second Assistant Attor-
3 ney General Roy f.. Shields appeared
, and for the defendant, Leedy and Pat
