And he said unto them, / am an

The Lord thy God, he will go over
before thee, and he will destroy these
nations from before thee. and thou
shalt possess them: and Joshua, he
shall go over before thee, as the Lord
hath said.
And the Lord shall do unto them as
he did to Sihon and TO Og, kings OF
the Amorites. and unto the land of
them, whom he destroyed.
And the Lord shall give them up be-
fore your face. that ye may do unto
them according unto all the command.

WOMAN is TO SACRIFICE
SELF TO SAVE ROGERS

New York. Jan. 3o.-A hint that Mrs.
Ida Sniffen Walters is preparing to
sacrifice herself to save Lorlys Elton
Rogers from Jail is disclosed in a brief
filed by Abraham Levy. counsel for
Rogers. before County Judge Gibbs OF
the Bronx. in which it is commended
that the white slave law indictment
against Rogers is illegal.
In his brief Levy contends that
force OF compulsion. or their equiv
alent." must be shown under the stat
ute before the crime of which Rogers
Is accused Is made out Then comes
the hint that Mrs. Walters may have
been the one 10 "entice. induce and
procure"
The brief. in fact. suggests that in
stead of Mrs. Walters being induced
to live under the conditions which
finally impelled her to murder her
children. it was she who induced Rog-
ers TO five with her.

that Starkey has developed the first
stages Of pneumonia and his chance
for recovery Is lessened.
DR.. r. A. Fitch who is In charge OF
the case. however, still holds out hope
for Sankey's ultimate recovery.
"Starkey has a rugged constitution
and, while his condition Is grave, i
believe he will pull through alright"
DR.. Fitch said today at noon.
Sankey's father and brother ar

been at the injured boys bedside
continually. The brother is q ply.

DR.. Fitch said this afternoon that
pneumonia follows almost certainly
a gun shot wound at as close range
as the n received by the student.
The danger from septic poisoning
arising from the powder burn is still
very great.
No attempt has been made to probe
for the bullet which is said to be
lodged in Starkey's chest. The ball
penetrated a rib and his lung and
lodged in two muscles in his back, it
is believed.
