AGAINST JAPANESE
Federal Council ofeChurches Of Christ

] st. Louis, Dec. s.-The anti-Japan-
ese campaign in America is character
lied as cause for shame and solicit
tude" in the report Of the commission
on relations with Japan presented to
the Federal Council of Churches Of
Christ today This campaign" the
report says, tends to establish a deep
seated suspicion Of Japan among our
people, animosity against us in Japan
and spirit Of mutual hostility, that
upon some relatively slight occasion
might easily result In serious conse-
quences.
Merely because men happen to be-
long to this nation or to that race, God
does not regard ::enn with snecial ia
vor or disfavor. He has created men
in nations that they may help each
other. He gives to each great people
its own peculiar traits and qualities
that they may play their own peculiar
part in the enrichment Of the life of all.
True Christianity knows neither east
nor west. The golden rule applies alike
to individuals. to nations and to races.
This great lesson the church might dill
igently teach until our entire people
puts it into practice in all our interna- =
tional and interracial relations" II

the federal council today that the

desire to hear the attorneys pleas. to
the twelve men on whom rests the
burden Of determining in reality whe-
ther Senator Jones had any connec-
ton with the Moore murders as the
detective has charged.
Jonea, Last Witness.
Senator Jones' himself was the last
person tn occupy the witness chair in
this trial After both sides had an

question the senator briefly. In his
final statement from the witness stand
Senator Jones denied that he at any
time had ever authorized his attorneys,
Jim Atkinson or any one else to make
any offer of money or any other in
ducement to Mrs. Alice Willard to
change her testimony. Besides deny
ing this latest phase of his suit,
the senator declared he had never
heard of such an offer being made un-
til Mrs. Wizards story was told from
the witness chair Thursday afternoon.
Only three new witnesses testified
Friday afternoon, although several 9TH
ers,including both the plaintiff ana de-
fendant, who have previously been on
the stand, were recalled. DR.. j. G.
Cooper. of Villisca, witness for the
defense, was recalled by the PLAINTIFF
to correct his former. testimony. DR..
Cooper had testified that in a CONVEX
sation with him, Senator Jones had de-
clared Senator Van Law was looking
after Vina Tompkins in Marshalltown.
Today DIR. Cooper said that when he
said Van Law he meant the present
senator of Marshall county. Senator

Cooper inferred he meant Senator Van

has had in this case.
New Evidence Gets In.
Under cross examination counsel for
the defense brought out bit of evil

been ruled out by the court. Dr. Coop
er said that Senator Jones reminded
him of his serror in a conversation in
the Jones' store on the Sunday morn

plaintiff but overruled and Dr.. Cooper
concluded, "he said that he made up

Red Oak, Dec. 9.-The fate of Sena-
tor Jones 100000 slander suit against
J. N. wilkersoA, Burns operative, Will
probably be in the hands of the jury
sometime tonight. Ralph Pringle be-
gan the opening argument on behalf
of Senator Jones just before 10 O'Clock
this morning. There will be three argu-
n1ents, two on behalf of the plaintiff
and one for the defense. Each attor-
ney will be limited to three hours. and
Judge Rockafellow plan to- hold u
night session of court in order to con-
clude the trial this week. His instruc-
tions have already been prepared and
the jury will probably begin it's delib-
erations late tonight.
The judges order limiting the size
of the crowd is being enforced, and
while many chairs were pressed into
service for spectators. none was per-
mitted to stand in the aisles. A bis
crowd was waiting when the court
room was opened this morning and
many are thronging the corridors alb
sorbing bits of the fragments thru an
open transom.
Like Stage Play.
In beginning his plea Mr.. Pringle
declared the case has been one Of
spectacular interest, more or less the
atricar and filled with what might be
termed stage play. The business IN
which he is engaged gives him no priv
ilgee to charge a man with murder
Pringle said referring to the
defendants charges. Pringle charged
Wilkerson with holding public meet
ings in order to prejudice the commun-
ity against Jones. He knows, that II
you can get the minds of community
poisoned against man, oSmatter how
high he stands in that community, II
you get circle poisoned against HIM.
he'll never get fair chance, the at
itorney declared. "He was busy arous-
ing the prejudices of the people IN your
locality" Pringie continued, so when
ever the time arrived to determine
whether Senator Jones was connected
with that horrible tragedy at Villisca,
Senator Jones case would be pre-
sented in community whose minds
had already been =prejudiced. The as
sassination of Mr.. Jones' character was
carried on in this county from the
south line to the north SO he wouldn't
have fair show" -
The attorney declared Wilkerson's
work from the first had been bent to
fasten the crime on Senator Jones and
that it would be q great feather in his
cap" If he could fasten the crime on

into careful analysis of the evidence
