PASTOR SAYS WORLD PEACE
MAY COME IN 200 YEARS

DENVER.-"The law of love is the
very soul of religion" said the Rev
David Utter at the Unity church yes
terday in sermon in which he sharp
ly defined the word religion as mean
ing only form of worship or belief
and totally distinct from righteousness
He made his distinction clear by de-
claring the present war in the Bal
kans to be war of religion, but not
of righteousness. He spoke on Re
ligion and Righteousness"
There have been many Christian
and religious wars, so-called," he said
"They were all wars to uphold the
power of certain kings or popes, who
were more or less interested in com
pelling other people to believe as the,
did.
"This Bulgarian Turkish war is OF
this sort, in part at least. 1t is partly
war of races Of men, partly for ter
ritory and seaports, but the age-lonl
hatred between Mohammedan ant
Christian had good deal to do will
it.
peace may come within 100 or 20,
years, but it will come through mod
ern scientific eduaction."

to blow up the bridge. Brown said
it was an open shop job and they

did rot do it and he replied they want

The witness said the last conversa-
ton occurred in August, 1910, shortly
before Ortie f. McManigal, according
to his confession, blew up the bridge.
Witness then continues:
after the explosion | met Brown
on the street and told him | read in

could not prove anything, and added I

job, as ! might have made a barrel of
money at Los Angeles"
did McNamanar tell you in Mr..
Browns presence that you were to
blow up jobs in Los Angeles ?" asked
the district attorney.
"Yes, he told me in Browns pres
ence that after blew up the bridge
was to blow up a building in Kan
Angeles
The witness then said it was ar
ranged to pay Brown the $50 he bor-
rowed from Mcnamara.

SENTENCED
TO DEATH
Notorious New York Bad
Men Found Guilty Of
First Degree Murder

NEW YORK, Nov, 20.-The brave
verdict of the jury last evening
against Lefty Louie,' "Gyp the
Blood" Whitley Lewis" and "Dago
Frank" convicted of first degree muir
der for the killing of Herman Ro-
senthal, has fallen with crushing force,
not only upon the four defendants, but
upon every gangster, adherent and
hanger-on in New York. The ground
has been literally swept from beneath
their feet.
Heretofore it has been their proud
boast that no gangmen had been con-
victed of murder. The System" has
row toppled-the impossible has come
to pass, The four men are in the
Tombs and probably shortly will fol-
low Charles Becker to the death house
at Sing Sing.
The gunner built their hopes on as
surances given them by Becker that
1t would be necessary for the state
positively to identify the shooter, but
Justice Goff disposed of this conten-
ton.
There was gloom in the Tombs last
night. In narrow adjoining cells the
four convicted men, stripped Of their
coats, collars and ties, all the debonair
air of the past few days gone, sat
brooding over the verdict, "Gyp" and
Louie" are locked up together. In
another cell are Frank and Whitley
Frank had his suit case all packed
ready to leave, so confident was he
Of acquittal
But after we heard the charge,
said Louie, I'VE throwed up our bandi
and decided it was all off"
For several hours after they were
returned to their cells, the four mer
ragged and swore at Justice Goff, Mr.
Moss and Mr. Whitman.
District Attorney Whitman, in Il
brief statement, congratulated the
people of New York on the result OF
the trial, which he declared was q

ming of the end Of gun rule in New
