NOTE THREATENS
BIGGEST MURDER
New York Police, Fearing Re-
petition of "Ripper Staying"
on East Side, Seek Woman
Involved in Case.

NEW YORK, May GA woman
suspected by the police of being either
an accOmplice or the real slayer in
the recent ripper murders on the
east side. is being sought by detec-
tives. Acting upon a clew mysterious
ly received detectives confined their
activities today in searching for this
woman.
The police are confident that she at
least knows something of the brutal
year-old Charles Murray and is
probably aware of the hiding place of
the manical murdered.
The dread Of another child murder
caused Police Inspector Faurto to
double the number of uniformed men
in the district around the Murray
home and to assign many plain clothes
men TO the neighborhood.
Pathetic and tragic scenes attended
the funeral of the Murray boy. 1t
required police reserves to handle the
enormous crowd Of morbidly curious
persons that surged into First av. in
the vicinity Of the Murray home.
The United States authorities have
been drawn into the case by the re-
ceipt of letters by the mother of the
little Cohn girl from a person who
claims to be the murderer. One of
these letters, dated April 80, and sign
ed II. b. Richmond. Jack the Rip
per predicted lone of the biggest
murders ever committed in New York
Postal inspectors are trying to trace
these letters and find the writer. They
are cooperating with the police

MEN CAUGHT ON
FREIGHT WOUND
TWO TRAINMEN
TrampS Told to Get on Top of
Car When One Opens Fire
H. C. Ritter and F. L. Ginge-
rich Are the Victims.

II. c. Ritter and +. L. Gingerich.
brakemen on the Lake Shore railroad,
were shot and painfully wounded by
one Of two hoboes on an east bound
freight train near the Winkler-Gri
wagon works, Linden av.. at $3.50
O'Clock Wednesday afternoon.
The hoboes boarded the train near
the Lake Shore depot when il left
South Bend about 1920 O'Clock. They
we're riding between a box car and a
coal car when first discovered by Rit-
ter and Gingerich. The brakemen or
dered the men to get up on top of the
car. as an accident to the coupling
over which they were standing would
have resulted in their death.
As the hoboes climbed over the top
Of the car. one Of them pulled a gun
from his pocket and shot both of the
brakemen. Another brakeman, who
was riding on the car ahead, and who
heard the shots stopped the train, but
the hOboes had made good their es-
cape. and at 2:30 O'Clock this morn
ing they had not yet been captured
Ritter Hit in Thigh.
Ritter. who lives in Elkhart. was
shot through the left thigh, the bullet
going in to the front and being en-
bedded in the muscle. He was the
more seriously hurt of the two. He
was brought to South Bend on the
east bound passenger train No. 10,
which was stopped at the scene of the
accident.
The second bullet struck Gingerich
through the fleshy part OF the right
thigh. coming out in the back part of
the leg. He with Ritter was taken to
Elkhart on train No. IA. 1t was re-
ported last night that both men are
expected TO recover.
Ten minutes after the shooting Oc-
Cured. a search for the two hObOes
was started by the South Bend police
department. Twenty members of the
detective and police force were rush
ed to the scene in automobiles and
the surrounding country was secured
for evidence of the two men,
An incomplete description was fur
nished by Ritter and Gingerich, who
described the man who did the shoot
ing as a heavy set man weighing
about 175 pounds, wearing thick
lens glasses, a derby hat, and a blue
serge suit. The other hobo was a
small man wearing a cap and a blue
serge suit. The local department and

the police departments OF neighboring
cities are now looking for men who
answer the description.
Two Men Were Seen.
The neighborhOod near the Lake
shore tracks about two miles west OF
the city on the Palmer road was gone
over carefully by detectives soon af-
ter the shooting. They were tracked
for a shot distance by means OF in
formation furnished by a farmers
wife on the Palmer road, who saw the
two men go by the house. At that
time they were going west. and il is
believed that they are in hiding near
CrumstOwn.
one theory as TO the cause Of the
shooting is that the men were some
who had been put off from the freight
train by Ritter and Gingerich some
time in the past No words were ex
changed at the time of the shooting.
as the brakemen did not order the
men off from the train, but merely
told them 10 ride on top instead Of
between the cars.
AS the first hobo climbed on top Of
the car. he shouted that he would
get" the brakemen, and shot when
ne was about four feet away Due
TO the fact that his aim was spoiled
by the jerking of the train. the bull
lets failed 70 find a vital spot.
The search was continued today
all over northern Indiana. Descrip-
tions OF the men were phoned 10 all
OF the cities Of the vicinity, and It is
probable that the men will be found
before they can get out Of the state

LIFE is YELLED IN MYSTERY.

Rev. ]. N. Brownlee, Joplin, Mo.
1t is appointed unto man to die, All
of his life is filled with mystery and
worked by wonderful epochs yelled in
mystery. We entered a mysterious
world and as our mind developed, the
horizon of vision was constantly set
back. We experienced the epoch of
childhood of youth and then maturity
for us as well as our departed. The
most profound of all life's mysteries
is the mystery OF death and the grave
Man is born to die. We read in the
sacred pages of Gods book, it is APP
pointed unto man once to die. That
mar was born of woman, is of a few
days and full of trouble, he cometh
forth like a flower and is cut down,
he tieeth also as a shadow and con.
tinueth not, we look around us on
every hand and see the work of death.
Observation has taught us that ever
the long lived and towering oak will
eventually fall and decay. OF all the
sweet and sacred ceremonies in
which the sons of men engage, none
is more beautiful than the custom of
meeting in heavenly places where we
ear think ever of those who have fal-
len before the sickle of the reaper
and have crossed the river and are
resting under the shade of the trees.
All of life is filled with mystery and
worked by wonderful epochs. We en-.
tered a mysterious world, and as our
minds developed the horizon of our
vision was constantly set back, we
experienced the epoch of childhood
of youth and then maturity, some of
us have entered the mystery of old
age, touched and hallowed by the
sweet ~foregleam of the mysterious.
Beyond these comes finally the most
profound of all life's mysteries the
mystery of death and the grave.

and whosoever of you will be the
chiefest shall be the servant of all. "
80 the spirit of Christ gives itself in
service to other How wide this field
of service. The more there is of the
Christ spirit in the lives OF men and
women, the more there will be of In
selfish service. The Christ spirit is
the spirit of sacrifice. Christ gave his
life as a ransom. He became obedient
unto death even the death of the
cross. He laid down his life to saw
the objects of his love. 1t is in the
nature of love to sacrifice. We may
say that love loves to sacrifice in the
interest of the objects Of love. True
love is always and everywhere sacri-
fetal. There are no limits to which 1t
will not go and no price that 1t will
not pay. There is no pain that it
will not suffer and no depth Of hui
initiation to which it will not descend.
Love will suffer without complaints
and die if need be.

ON EATING MEAT.

One of the most pronounced charac-
teristics of our race is its decided
Partially for meat. Any butcher in
a mixed neighborhood will attest to
the fact that the colored patrons buy
twice as much meat as the whites. 1t
has been Il experience frequently to
see members of our race walk out of
a meat market with an armfull of
meat for which they have paid from
one to two dollars. 1t has been our
further experience in the attempt to
put patients on a suitable diet, from
which meat is usually excluded, to en-
counter the following vigorous pro-
test: Il would just as soon be dead if
I can't have my meat three times a
day"
In these days of the high cost of
living, with the almost prohibitive
prices on meat, it will be readily seer
that, with people, the meat prob
lem, from the viewpoint of social
economy has become one of alarming
proportions. With far too many of us,
that little mite that should be laid
aside for the rainy day goes into the
butchers Golfers; that part of our in.
come which should be devoted to the
accumulation of wealth is ruthlessly
and needlessly sacrificed to our ad.
normal appetites.
An abundant meat diet is to be the
more condemned because it is not
only unnecessary but decidedly Diet.
rimental to our health and physical
economy, and =. shall be the purpose
of this article and the next to point
out the dangers to the human body
from the ingestion of a super-abund-
ance of meat.
Notwithstanding the fact that meat,
unless it contains much white con-
nective tissue and sinewy mater, is
far more digestible than the majority
of other foods such as cereals, vege-
tables, and fruits, it was not intend
ed that man should be a ca%rnivorous
animal. For indeed a certain amount
Of indigestible material is essential to

SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH.

Much enthusiasm vas shown dur
ing our greatest revival in the history
of this Church. DR.. S. w. Bacote, the
pastor was very fortunate in being
supported by a body of c~oworkers
who seemed to vie with each other
in an effort to be instrumental in a v
ing souls. The open air street meet
ings and parades are a grand success
both in impressing sinners and stir
ring up luke warm Christians and
back sliders. All of the auxiliaries of
the Church have suspended their
meetings and are consolidating their
forces by Gods help in an effort to
uproot sin and Satan from their
trenches. Already there have been
rs additions to the Church of which
number 43 are candidates for Baptism.
Let the good work go on.

the proper working Of the digestive
system. The intestines, in particular,
need the stimulus of ~cellulose food
Ike vegetables and fruit, for good
peristaltic movements. These move.
ments of the intestine are necessary
to the proper digestion of food in the
intestine and to the proper movement
of the bowels.
1t is a matter of common experience
that after a good dinner, especially
after a sumptuous Sunday repast in
which there has been an abundance
of meat, to have a feeling of heavi.
ness, a sensation of drowsiness which
is not easily overcome or thrown off.
Indeed this feeling is often so over.
powering that immediate work is out
of the question and sleep becomes in.
evitable. Such sensations do not fol-
low a meal consisting of vegetables
alone or of milk and vegetables.
Hence it follows that it is the meat
which exercises the depressing in
luence over the brain and
system. 1t can be seen also that con-
slant depression of the brain and
system resulting from an
abundant daily meat diet will bring
about not only functional changes in
these organs with their attendant
mental and physical sluggishness, but
structural changes with permanent
and still more direful results.
An abundant meat diet also en-.
dangers the circulatory system by in
creasing the viscosity of the blood to
the extent that its circulation through
the blood vessels is impaired. Apo
plexy is more frequent among those
who have long been addicted to eX-
cessive meat eating.
For reasons which it is beyond the
limits of thi spaper for us to point
out, it is inadvisable to give meat to
young children, or to persons adj
vanced in years, particularly if they
are decrepit.
In our next article We shall point
out the dangers to the liver and kid
neys from an excessive meat diet and
make some recommendations.
