MARSHALL SCORES
PULPIT SENSATIONS

Vice President Marshall stood on the
platform of the Metropolitan Preshyter-
ian Church, at Fourth and 3 streets
southeast, on Sunday night and turned
loose his eloquence against sensation
in the pulpit, the American atheisIic
tendency and other evils Of the time.
What this country needs is not laws,
policemen or large armies" said the
Vice President, but men with Tack
tones, willing to stand for something
more and men who do not try only TO
make money. I say make money and
i would like to make ali 1 possibly
could. but I would have 1t made 50
cleanly that your babies could cut
their teeth on 1t and never be pol
luted."
mo nation can live without religion, ="
said the speaker, Rome was I'm her
glory and waxed mistress of the word
until the oracles argued among them
selves and then her doom was sealed.
The Vice President a.so scored pas
tors whose churches resound with SER
mons on the sinking of the Titanic or
the latest bit of scandal. He said he
was a Jefferson Democrat and that
Jefferson did a great thing when he sep
arated church and state. ''P'ease God,
they will remain separate" he said.

Big London Failure Said to
Be Due to Handling of
Railroad Securities
UNSECURED DEBTS
ARE VERY LARGE
Chaplin, Milne, Grenfell &
Co., Limited, Goes to

London. june 8.-Chaplin, Milne,
Grenfell & Co., Limited, a large mercan-
tile and banking firm, suspended to-day.
1t has an authorized capital Of Sl,750,0 900
and is an old-established firm of high
reputation and excellent family connec-
tions.
The failure is believed to bethe result
of large operations in Grand Trunk
securities by Arthur Morton Grenfell
Earl Grey, whose daughter was Gren-
felps first wife, is reported to be among
the heavy losers The firm recently is
sued notice that Grenfell had not been
connected with it since February IT,
The affairs of the bank were largely
involved with those of the Canadian
Agency Limited. Grenfell and the Cana
dian agency were engaged in cam
paign for the purchase of the controlling
interests in the Grand Trunk but owing
to the depreciation of those securities
the position he created were taken over
recently by strong group of financial
houses to protect many stock exchange
firms that were involved in the transac
tion. IL was considered one of the most
daring stock operations launched here in
years.
The total deposits are understood to
have greatly diminished in the past
month and the amount outstanding is
believed to be about $250,000.

Frederick Kelley Reported
to Have Implicated
Five Men
WHO WERE ENGAGED
IN BIG HOLD-UP
Two Other Similar Acts in
New York May Be
Laid to Them

New York, June 6.--As the result of a
confession which the police announced
they had obtained from Frederick Kel-
ley chauffeur, Joseph Reardon, aged
27, a steamftter, was arrested this
morning as a material witness in the
robbery yesterday of two employees Of
the American Can company, who were
leaving the offices with $500. Other ar
rests are expected.
The police say that Kelley has con-
fessed that he was the driver of the au-
tomobile in which the robbers escaped
after the holdup. 1t is said he impli-
Gated five men. Detectives believe the
holdup to be the work of the same men
who, earlier yesterday, robbed the Mas
ury Paint company of Brooklyn Of a
satchl containing $4,000.
The police are also working on third
holdup which resulted in the loss OF $500
to firm of architects, although the five
robbers overlooked two bundles Of mon
satchel containing $4,000.
Joseph Longo, chauffeur, and James
Fay, pooIroom owner, later were held
on the charge of being connected with
the holdup. Gelly said Longo had hired
him.

TO HEAD INVESTIGA-

1t Is Believed That the En-

Be Raised

London, June 6.-Lord Mersey, pre-
siding judge of the admiralty court, left
to-day for Liverpool to sail aboard the
Maurentania for New York on his way
to Quebec to act as chairman of the in
vestigation commission in the inquiry
into the Empress of Ireland wreck.
Montreal, June 6-With further de-
velopments in connection with the EN-
press of Ireland disaster lacking within
the past "a hours, the public has settled
down to await the official Investigation
that is to be begun on June l6, with
Lord Mersey as chairman of the COM
mission of inquiry. There is confusion
in the public mind as to whether the in
vestigation is to be held at Montreal or
Quebec, but Ottawa dispatches received
here yesterday mentioned Quebec as the
scene of the inquiry.
1t is believed by many here that the
Empress may be raised though the Can
adian Pacific railway officials have been
careful not to make statements tending
to confirm this belief There is gem
eral desire that all the bodies possible
shall be recovered from the wrecked ves-
sci. II is thought that divers may be
employed to extricate the imprisoned
bodies and the ship blown up after the
bullion in it has been brought out.

PURE AIR FOR THE MOVIES"
Vermont State Board of Health Puts
Rules in Operation.

Rutland. June f6.--Absolute need for
health legislation relative TO moving pic
ture theatres caused the passage of the
regulations recently adopted by the
state board of health, according to DIR.
G. $. Cayerly, president Of the board.
The regulations we're discussed at some
length Thursday at the health officers
school at St Albans.
"The moving picture theatres, and in
fact, all theatres, are rapidly increasing
in Vermont" said DIR. Caverly, aand
while some are managed by men with
regard for the laws of sanitation Others
are agencies for the spread of contagious
disease. The popularity of this form of
amusement shows no indication of fall
ing off. and il is the duty of the state
board to protect the health of patrons
where it is not done by the proprietor"
The regulations were adopted at a
meeting in May. and went into effect
about two weeks ago. A copy of the
regulations, said DIR. Cavelry, has been
mailed to every theatet manager in the
state. Disregard of the rules, continued
disregard of them after the proprietor
has been warned, is punishable by a fine
of considerable magnitude. The inspect
or of the state board of health, the en-
gineer, and the local health officer will
be the men who will from time to time
the theatres and see that the
law is being observed 1t is expected
that the reasonable nature of the rules
will bring with it popular support, and
that complaints of any avoidance will
be reported by patrons.
