ASKS PREACHERS TO AID
HUMANE SOCIETY WORK
President of Organization Impresses
the Subject of Mans Duty to
Dumb Animals.

Humane Sunday" now an annual OBJ
servance, is set for May, p this year.
Walter S. Hutchins, president of the
Washington Humane Society, has re-
quested the clergy of Washington that
the day be observed in all the churches.
and that the pulpit discourses be upon
the subject of mans duty to the dumb
animals which he has subjugated to his
will.
The people of Washington" says
President Hutchins' communication,
ARE singularly Indifferent to the many
acts of cruelty perpetrated daily in
their sight upon dumb creatures. In
attempting to make head against an
abominable condition, which should not
be tolerated in the American capital,
our chief difficulty is to overcome the
inertia of kindly men and women who
think that the anti-crueltN statutes
somehow enforce themselves
ITO those of us who are striving.
without too much agement from
our fellows. to take the part of those
who cannot plead for themselves, it
seems not unnatural to ask for such
aid from the pulpit as the pulpit may
bestow. Certainly there is no place
where the doctrine of mercy can bet
ter support the deeds of mercy
President Hutchins suggests that
wherever it is possible special services
in the churches be arranged. He urges
also that the congregations be given
timely notice by the ministers of the
services for Humane Sunday" and of
any further observance of the day.

Declaring that his arrest was the
result of a misunderstanding and re-
GREETING that the warrant was served
Just as he was signing up contract
for a good position with Dallas firm.
w. L. Hightower arrived here this
morning from Dallas in charge of Dep
uty Tidwell and was lodged in the
county Jail.
The prisoner in an interview with a
representative Of the Daily Express ex-
planned that he had no more connec-
tion with the Bagley car than an out
slider. He was working for Phillips,
who represented the A. ]. Holman
publishing house of Philadelphia, and
was selling bibles, He was being paid
by Phillips for this work but had quit
him last week to accept a position as
travelling man in oklahoma for the
Texas Oklahoma phonograph company
refat BILE Dallas concern.
Hightower declared that the Ford
car was left at Bradley for repairs it
having broken down enroute, and that
Phillips continued his work in bug
gy instructing Hightower to come to
Chickasha to notify Bagley what had
happened to his Ford and where he
could find his car, which Hightower
did.
Sheriff Bailey this morning tele-
phoned to Bradley as directed by
Hightower and found that what High
tower said was true and that the car
had been in livery stable there all
the time. The owner Of the stable
said there were $19 charges against the
auto but Hightower knew nothing Of
this.
"All that | did in the matter was
open and above board" he declared,
II was working for Phillips and came
to Bau'oy p deliver his message as
coled had nothing in the world
to do with renting the car. That was
done by Phillips who made the pay
ments direct to Bagley. Even if there
had been anything wrong, and there
absolutely was not, l could have had
no connection with it.
when l left here to take my new
position left my address with several
people, my friends, who were glad that
/ had landed something better"
Hightower is not the son Of Rev
Emmett Hightower of Fort Worth as
reported.
