WHITLOCK BARRED
Cleveland Pastors Refuse to
Throw Open Their Pulpits
to Toledo Mayor.
OBJECT TO HIS VIEWS
Federation OF Women's Clubs Has
Engaged Him for Lecture and
VIII Hire a Hall.

| Cleveland, Jan. brand Whit
lock, mayor of Toledo. barred from
two Cleveland pulpits because of his
too easy ideas of social reform,
will address the Cleveland Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs on Jan IS. if
the women have to hire Gray's ar
mory.
This announcement was made by
Mrs. Myron B. Vorce, chairman of
the program committee.
Rev. Robert r. Bigger OF West
minister Presbyterian Church and
Rev Dan Bradley of Pilgrim Con-
gregatiOnal church have notified the
federation that Whitlock will not be
allowed TO address the women from
their pulpits.
"A force against righteousness"
was the way Whitlock was character
lied.
CHURCH NOT PROGRESSIVE.
Mrs. Walter S. Sapp, a member of
the federation. said in respect to the
action of the Pilgrim congregational
church:
THE reason is plain. Mr.. Whit
lock is progressive and the members
of the church are not. We have had
several offers from other churches
that want to open their doors for
the Whitlock lecture.
THE refusal of Rev. DR.. Bradley
to let Mayor Whitlock speak at Pill
grim church is the best thing that
ever happened to WhitlOck and the
women, because it will make them
determined. We are going ahead
with the lecture. We stand for
what Mayor WhitlOck represents or
we wouldn't bring him here"
OBJECTS TO his VIEWS.
Rev Mr.. Bradley says he has no
objection to Whitlock, the man, but
that it is to his views and ideas that
he objects.
Il have no desire" he said. Ito
permit Whitlock TO exploit his pc
culiar views on law enforcement and
the open Sunday evil in my church"
Rev. Mr. Bigger was equally ex-
plicit.

Ashland, KY, Nov. Six
persons were killed in a wreck
on Miller'S Greek Railway near
Van Lear, a few miles above

The accident was caused by

while the accommodation was

connect with the Chesapeake
and Ohio passenger train at
Van Lear. On the return trip
the mixed train collied with

the husband of Mrs. Madaline Hobson

whom he was mysteriously separated
some years ago. She still lives here,
and has two children, who were born
before the separation of their parents.
The drowned man was of wealthy Eng

titled as one of the drowned.

DEMOCRATS ARE
IN THE SADDLE

Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 1.-THE sew
enty-ninth general assembly of Ohio
opened today at 10 o'clock with the
democrats, for the first time in two de
cades, in control of both branches and
Judson Harmon, democrat, in the
gubernatorial chair, having been re-
elected at the November election.
Unusual interest is shown in the
proceedings of the legislature, because
successor will be elected to succeed
United States Senator Charles A Dick,
a republican, and because of the fact
that Governor Harmon is said to be in
training for the presidential nomina-
ton.
