ATTACKS CHIEF JUSTICE
Rev. ID. G. Painter DenOunces the
Church as "a Menace and Blight to
the GOvernment-Attacks News
papers for Suppressing Criticism
of the Church and Chief Justice
White for Attending Jesuite Col.
lege-The Record Demagog.
UNITED PRESS LEASED WIRE. ]

Louisville, KY, May 23.-De-
nunciation of the Roman Catholic
church as a menace and a blight'
of the government for "favoring'' it;
of the press for failure to criticise it.,
and of Chief Justice White, of the
United States supreme court, because
of his education in a Jesuite school,
stirred the Southern Presbyterian
assembly TO its depths here today.
The Roman Catholic denunciation
was contained in resolution intro
duced by Rev. D. c. Painter, of Yam
cey Hill, Va, who spoke in its sup
port. The resolution reads
Resolved, That this assembly
views with serious concern the
growth and pernicious activity of the
powerful politico-religious organiza-
tion known as the Roman Catholic
church, which is and always has been
a menace and blight to the civil
and religious liberty of every land
where it has obtained a foothold;
that this assembly views with serious
concern the apathy of public men
concerning this menace, the evident
disposition of the general govern
ment to grant special favors to this
organization, and the ominous silence
Of the public press concerning ad-
verse criticisms of this body, and at
the same time its readiness freely to
advertise all that is interesting to
this so-called church.
Resolved, That this assembly ap-
point a committee of five to report
on practical method of advising the
whole people of the dangers of this
domination and to invite the infu-
ence and cooperation Of other Pnot-
estant bodies to Offset It,"
In his speech Painter accused the
newspapers, for business reasons, Of
suppressing adverse criticism Of the
Roman Catholic church; charged
congressman and senator's with fear
ing it, and declared that the appoint
ment of Chief Justice White was a
menace to the country.
'The very fact" he said that
White was educated in Jesuit
school should disqualify him for that
high office"
A special committee was appointed
by the assembly to consider the
Painter resolution.

COMMISSION
MEETS TODAY
IN THE HOTEL
THE HORSE EDITOR, IN HIS
BRIEF AND CONCISE MANNER,
TRIES TO TELL WHY THIS is
THUS, AND YOU MAY GUESS.

M. ]. Kinney, a cannery man of As
Fish Commission. As such commits
sioner he came to Salem to attend a
meeting of the commission yesterday,
and in order to meet the other COM
missioners, 1t was necessary not only
to visit the capitol, but to ascend to
the second floor, and as he wanted to
be on time for the meeting that day,
he naturally avoided the elevator,
which had already made one round
trip that morning and was some
where in the upper regions when he
hit the building. In order, there
fore, to get up to the second floor,
and as the aeroplane will not be here
until June A, 1t was up to him to
climb the stairs. This story is made
thus minute. to show that the fish
commissioner, Mr.. Kinney, was in the
strict line of his duties and attending
to business when he was on the
stairs yesterday afternoon, with his
toes pointed towards the steps. He
was going to fish commission" along
with his fellow commissioners, but he
didn't. Now is happened that as Mr..
Kinney was going up, gentleman
whose name, residence and occupa-
tion are unknown to the horse editor,
was coming down. The scribe, while
given to detail, does not attempt to
say where the gentleman alluded to,
got #, for he doesn't know. He might
have been visiting the governor, or
absorbing some of the genial spirits
Of the secretary of state. He might
possibly have tuned up on a supreme
court decision, or loaded up on an
opinion from the attorney generals
office-anyway, and wherever he got
it, he had accumulated a jag that he
should have made two trips for. AS
Kinney went up, the gentleman
started down, but his load became top
heavy, his feet suffered, and with a

laughed at 1t, but on June 4 a DEM
onstration will be given which will
show that man has at last conquered
the air, and now their remains the
development of these machines to
make them absolutely practical for
pleasure and traffic purposes.
Salem is going to do her best to
get everybody that can possibly come
from the surrounding towns and the
farmers here on this day. The camp
ing grounds Of the state fair grounds
will be thrown open to the public and
farmers can bring their whole family
and have lunch there, feed their
horses, and In the afternoon can 60

the meet. Autos and teams will be
admitted to. the fair grounds free Of
charge. Small children up to the age

charge. Adults will pay dollar and
children between the ages OF 10 and
16 years so cents. There will be q
special rate on all the railroads and
first-class music will be furnished at

This is the largest undertaking ev-
er attempted by the Board of Trade
to bring crowd to Salem, and 1t Is
a legitimate proposition of the high
est character and 1t Is to be hoped
that all Salem people will get be-
hind the movement and help make it

GRAND LARCENY CHARGED.
Sanford j. In Pierre OF FIctrhcr'y Shoe
store Arrested Monday.

Sanford j. La Pierre. for n number OF
years head salesman in the shoe store Of
f. G. Fletcher. and who lives at 10 School
street, was arrested and arraigned before
Judge +. c. Mower Monday on a charge
of grand larceny at the lnsugation Of hi.
employer The sum named is 500. but 1t
is alleged that a much larger sum has
been taken. La Pierre furnished bail in
the sum of $500 for his appearance in city
court Saturday, when he will he given
hearing. George d. Jarvis became his
surety
The arrest of La Pierre is the result
Of an investigation of several weeks,
during which the books of the firm We're
given thorough overhauling. Mr..
Fletcher became convinced that some
thing was wrong and the find
ings of an expert accountant sus
tanned him. Because La Pierre had
been in his service for a long term Of
years and occupied a position of trust
suspicion naturally was slow to turn toward
him. The investigators, however, became
convinced that at least a part OF the money
was being taken from the money drawer
and by that means trap was laid Satur-
day night.
The money was carefully counted be-
fore witnesses and the bills were pierced
in manner which would not be noticed
at casual glance. When the money
was counted Monday morning at the
opening Of the store a deficiency OF five
dollars appeared. AS La Pierre alone
had access to the money, he was imme-
diately suspected.
The chief OF police was called and with
two witnesses. in addition to Mr.. Fletcher.
confronted La Pierre in the cellar. He
denied the charges preferred, but at the
request OF Mr.. Fletcher produced his
peck etbook and in 1t was found one of
| the marked bills. The bill was pierced
through the chest of the likeness of
President Mckinley in the same manner
! as the other marked bills. He then told
| a story of going to the drawer to change
some money but was arrested neverthe-
! less.
When questioned later La Pierre COM
! mitted several falsehoods In regard tc
| the amount Of rent paid by him and other
| expenses. During the past few years he
is known to have spent money on rather
a lavish scale beyond his salary Of sli
! per week. Among his expenses Is the
purchase of motor cycle and other
articles amounting In value to severa
hundreds Of dollars. 1t is therefore suS-
pected that his peculatious have covered
Il period of several years
