New-York tribune., 1912-01-08

The Rev. John Haynes Holmes. pastor
Of the Church Of the Messiah, declared
in a sermon yesterday that the Ten
Commandments need to be rewritten
and amplihed. When seen later by a
Tribune reporter he dashed off new
version Of four sections Of the Dec8-
logue, and promised that he would get
around 10 the other six in the course Of
time.
In his sermon Mr., Holmes said that
the Ten Commandments were the prod
uct Of years of experience. but that they
were made by special people for a
special time and needed 10 be expanded
10 meet modern conditions.
Although permanent in essence" he
said, "the Interpretation and application
Of these commandments must change
with the changing character of social
life. The problem of the Ten Command
ments is always the problem of keeping
them up TO date
In explaining his sermon later the pas
tor said: I'VE have precedent for re-
writing the commandments. Take. for
instance, the commandment in regard
20 the Sabbath. We do not observe the
Sabbath. We have chosen Sunday, in
stead Of Saturday. It is not necessarily
sacred. Every man ought to have one
day out Of the week for rest, recreation
and religion, but it does not mater much
which day it is.
Yes, l am in favor of the Sunday
theatre. 1t seems TO me that conditions
are deplorable when the fine theatres are
closed on Sunday and the vaudeville
theatres, with their indecencies. vulgari-
ties and inanities are Haunted in the face
of the public. / don't sec why man
should not attend a fine play on Sun
day as well as fine symphony concert.
Best Of all, however, Sunday is a day
for men TO get out in the country. And
] am in favor OF Sunday baseball.
don't mean professional baseball. but
the game as played for the JOY Of the
thing.
The churches of New York would do
better to cleanse some Of the week days
OF corrupt politics and business rather
than stopping Sunday play"
In regard to the fifth commandment
the Rev. Mr.. Holmes said this COM
mandment assuredly needs to be ampli-
fed 1t certainly should include men
who lock the doors of factories, as Har-
ris and Blanck did, and the steel trust.
which works its men ten or twelve
hours day.
Adultery meant to the Hebrews sim
plv marital unfaithfulness, but surely 1t
means more than that. The command
ment should be rewritten to forbid mar
riages for wealth, position or any rea-
son but love.
Thou shalt not steal is inadequate
The Hebrews knew nothing Of corpora
tions or modern business methods or
they would have included them In the
prohibition"
The Rev. Mr.. Holmes said that his
next nine sermons would deal with the
Ten Commandments. and that he would
take up in order the different sections or
the Decalogue in order to explain now
they applied to the present century.

SEES EVILS IN EUTHANASIA

"The Medical Record" calls attention In

COOK KILLS
MATE and SELF
Double Tragedy on Barken-
tine Benicia While at
Santa Rosalia
MATE ABUSED THE COOK
On Voyage Down, and Limit
Of His Patience Is Reached
in Mexican Port
MATE ABUSED THE COOK

Enraged over the harsh words
hurled at him during the entire trip
by First Mate Anderson of the bark
entine Benicia, Teddy Weise. an Eng
lishman and for some time cook
aboard the vessel, shot and killed the
first officer and then killed himself.
The tragedy occurred over a month
ago, just before the Benicia sailed
from Santa Rosalia, Mexico, bound
for this port, arriving Tuesday.
Stories of the sailors aboard the
vessel are conflicting, but Second
Mate Harry Uddy, who witnessed the
tragedy, undoubtedly gives the story
correct.
According to his story, Anderson
and Weise had had trouble for some
time. On the trip South the cook
warned the first mate to cease his
abuse. and mot to go too far with
him." While in port at Santa Rosa
liza, it was evident that the cabin

in. It was at that time that one of
the sailors heard Wiese say:
II won't stand for this much long
er, you must cut it out"
In reply Anderson is said to have
remarked: 'Ill make you like it be-
fore get through with YOU"
Weise then went below and did
not come on deck again for some
time. Anderson, it is said, was near
the wheel when the cook came up.
The quarrel broke afresh and sud-
denly Weise pulled a revolver and
shot Anderson twice. Both bullets
took effect. Anderson was shot once
in the head and once in the neck He
made his way to his cabin and ex-
pifed only few minutes after being
shot. Uddy witnessing the murder,
attempted to grapple with the cook.
Just as he was about to hurl heavy
grating at him, Weise lifted the smok-
ing gun and placing the end in his
mouth, pulled the trigger. His head
was nearly blown away by the charge
The Benicia had no sooner dropped
anchor in port than the story was
told. At the Endresen ship yards
where the vessel is receiving repairs,
a curious crowd gathered early last
evening and the tale of the double
tragedy was ofttimes repeated.
Both Weise and Anderson are we'll
known in Aberdeen and Hoquiam. The
former, an Englishman, was familiar
ly known as Shorty" He was a
member Of the Odd Fellows and
Eagles. When in port his face was
familiar at the local sailors head
quarters. He was well liked, and con-
sidered one of the best cooks sail
ing from this port Anderson, too,
was we'll known here. When sober,
he is said to be a good and hard
working officer. 1t is understood that
he had been drinking heavily proceed

OUTLAW KNOWN
ON The HARBOR
California Bandit Married
Sister Of Ira Jones, For
merly Of Hoquiam

That the outlaw who was shot and
killed near Santa Ana, Cal, after q
running gun fight in which he killed
a sheriff and wounded two deputies
was known on Grays Harbor was made
known Tuesday when word was re.
ceived from the California city. The
Identification was through dentist
of Santa Ana, who was a former
resident Of Oregon.
Matlock married a young woman
of this city named Jones, a sister of
Ira Jones, whom the city directory
gives as an employe of the Poison
Logging company. His wife deserted
him for cruel treatment. While the
suit was pending he was arrested for
assaulting young girl.
On a torn envelope in the dead
mans pocket was written the name
H. L. Brown" and according to the
dentist Brown was sheriff at Eugene
when Matlock was arrested. Sheriff
Duddick, Of Orange county, found a
photograph Of Matlock which had
been sent out by the Eugene sheriff
at the time of Matlock's departure,
and 1t bears strong resemblance to
the dead man. Matlock was the son
of former Mayor J. B. Matlock, of
Eugene.
The three deputies wounded by the
bandit are reported doing well to-
day. The condition Of Will Prater,
who was shot through the head, is
very serious, but according to physi-
clans he abs a good chance of re-
covery.
