= Love You But ny Feet Are
Sore Wrote Henry Hoffman
To Wife He Deserted in Cleveland

He had sore feet. so he left his
wife.
In police courts and In divorce rec
|ords there have at times appeared
many unique reasons for domestic
infeIicity. but II remained for Henry
Hoffman. OF Cleveland. 10 supply the
latest and most bizarre cause for
domestic separation.
THREE weeks ago HOFFMAN, who
was head waiter In n downtown ho-
tel In Cleveland. disappeared from
his Prospect.st. home In that city.
leaving his wife and child A letter
that he later wrote TO his spouse
read something as follows:
Dearest Anita love you; but
Oh. I have such sore feet. I must
90 away. But remember that love
you. even though my feet are sore.
Eenry."
And that Henry, even though his
feet were sore has wandered far
from the family hearth Is the belief
Of his young wife, who came to De-
troit. Monday. In search OF him. She
believes that he has gone TO some
mineral springs to take baths for
the rheumatism and Monday morn
Ing made a trip to Mt. Clemens In a
vain quest 10, her missing help

But behind The ludicrous part OF
the story there lies a pathetic side.

RAP SUNDAY
Adopt Resolutions Formally
Disappearing of Evangelist's
Coming Campaign Here

"Deeming the proposed evangelis-
tic campaign for this city out OF
harmony with the teachings and
usages Of our church, we cannot,
therefore. conscientiousiy approve OF
It," This statement closed the reso
lutions adopted by the meeting OF
the combined Lutheran churches OF
tho city. which took place In the Ho-
tel Pontchartrain. Monday.
The resolutions recite that the
Lutheran church was born in uni
versity. and for 400 years has stood
for a trained and cultured ministry
and an educated membership; that
the Lutheran church has trained her
children from childhood In the Chris
tian life. which requires years OF re.
1lgious nurture for its development:
that the Lutheran church empha
sizes the Importance OF reverence
for divine things, which are not to
be spoken OF or treated lightly, with
slang, vulgarity or ridicule; that
there must be a regeneration OF the
heart to save the soul, with per
sonal faith in a personal savior.

Grommisch.

that Billy Sunday comes to Detroit

Protestant churches of Detroit, for

TO NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. LINE
New Owners Plan to Convert Railway
Between LeaVenWorth and To-
peka-To Build Cutoff

eka-Announcement of the pur-
chase of the Leavenworth & Topeka
Railroad by the Willard E. Winner
interests Of Kansas City from the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe and
Union Pacific Railroad companies
was made here recently by c. J.
Smith of Kansas City and E. L. Cope
land, secretary-treasurer Of the Santa
Fe. The purchase price was said to
be n million dollars and the sale will
become effective September 1. The
line will be electrified Immediately,
it was stated, so as to give interur-
ban service from Kansas City to To
peka.
Mr.. Smith stated that a cutoff would
be built from Boiling to Lansing, Kan,
five miles, to connect with the Kan
sas City-Leavenworth interurban, and
that new line ten miles long would
be built between Meriden and Topeka.
Until the line has been electrified
the Leavenworth & Topeka branch
will continue to operate as a steam
road, it was announced.
The Leavenworth & Topeka Rail-
road, which was built in 1882, is fifty
six miles long. A year ago the road,
which was operated jointly by the
Santa Fe and Union Pacific, went into
the hands of a receiver.
E. ]. Short, associated with Mr..
Winner, declined either to affirm OF
deny the report extensions are
planned from Lansing to Boiling and
from Meriden to Topeka. 1t would be
premature to talk of that now, he
said.
kansas City capitalists will be the
sole owners of the road" Mr.. Short
| said. 1T will cost them much more
than 4 million dollars. as reported
| The liabilities of the road alone are
more than 100000, all of which is
! assumed.
