MAY PUNISH SHEA.
Action in Case of Guard Who Al
lowed Prisoner Undae Freedom.

Although Keeper Shea. a guard OF the
Atlanta Federal Prison. was reported
In New York and in Atlanta as having
returned in charge of Col Christopher
Columbus Wilson. OF wireless fame, It
was learned at the Department of Justice
yesterday that he had been Temporarily
detained in New York. This was for
the purpose OF facilitating the Efforts of
Assistant United States District Attorney
Pratt In clearing up the mystery sur
rounding the whereabouts Of Prisoner
Wilson and his guard during a consid-
erablc portion of their time in New
York
The investigation was concluded Sat
urday and the report of Assistant At
torney Pratt, who is acting In charge in
the absence OF District Attorney Wise,
reached the Department of Justice In
the mail yesterday. When the Attorney
General learned week or so ago Of
Wilson's remarkable freedom In New
York, he promptly ordered an investiga-
ton.
The Attorney General has not yet
reached a decision in the case. but II
appears likely that there VIII be some
administrative action in regard TO Keeper
Shea. This will be a reprimand. at least.

WHO WOULD MA 70 MONEY BY

The latest-and biggest-case of mind
changing is that of Woodrow Wilson,

that the initiative. referendum and re-

Today he declares they will work.
This is what Wilson said to me about
it:

Managers of all the railroads enter

Norfolk and Western railway and the

object is said to standardize the wage

Revival meetings were frequent These
meetings brought in the sinners and the
backsliders renewed their allegiance.
These meetings influenced whole commu-
mites and the great cry was What must

urged and demanded.
1t was an essential. L verify believe

other one exercise in church work. The
people delighted in going to church.
They planned their business so that all
might attend. The sermon was a big
thing. Men would talk about it. linger
over ii, discuss it, and when one preach
er came to spend a night or maybe
longer, the family were delighted and
none more so than the Titles ones. They
loved to sing when the preacher sung at
family prayers. They loved to remem-
Der what he said and what he sung in
the pulpit, and that friendship did not
die or subside. The father and husband
put in money to pay the preacher, and
the wife's, part went in the same way.
The men shouted and the women shout
ed, too. The experience meetings were
seasons of rejoicing; they shook hands
and wept together and said afterwards,
ut was good to be there
r The money struggle was not severe,
strenuous, or absorbing, and the Meth
odist preacher who said he must have
so many hundreds or thousands or they
could not get him, never showed his
head in public nor do think I'm private.

that I never have gotten used to modern
ways, where so much money must come
up and be counted whatever else fails
to appear and lacks representation.
Perhaps the new way is the wiser way.

maybe, but still it is my opinion), that
effective work for the church in 1912
means more family prayer in the home,
fewer card tables and dance halls, less
attention to big salaries and costly
preaching tabernacles and fine churches,
and more intimate acquaintance between
parents and children in regard to seek
ing religion and getting converted with
the witness of the spirit"
have been longing so much to see
one more great revival where nothing
can interrupt this the eagerness for the
''one thing needful'' in its sweeping pow
er over the churches. over our homes,
over the business people, and especially
over the youth of the land that l cannot
regulate the modern duties of the women
of the church.
