attorney. The prose
cutor. in his summing up, did not
spare the man trying to save himself
from death In the electric chair. He
declared he was "a blackmailer who
bartered his wifes charms to swell
his own pockets Playing the wo-
man who had confessed her sins on
the witness stand. the attorney, to
drive home his picture of her as a
vampire, quoted from "Ostler Joe:
(" i stood at eve as the sun went down,
BY grave where a woman lies.
Who lured mems souls to the shores
of sin,
BY the light OF her wanton ey0s. "
The woman who was being flayed
by the prosecuting attorney was not
in court % hear the TRADE hurled
against her. Vawter himself sat in
different to his surroundings and pay
ing little heed while counsel was pic
turing him as a blackmailer of the
meanest type.
Roop turned to the Bible and COM
pared Rachel Vawter with Potiphar's
wife, 'Its a wonder God Almighty
let this den OF iniquity on the college
campus continue. And these are the
people who will try to use the white
brush before ycur eyes" he said,
vawter and his wife we're ably de-
Tended by his attorneys Referring

man who had confessed the breaking
OF her marriage VOWS. r.. L.. Jordan
said:

fee could be made except by Divin-
ity ITSELF Heth, the dead man. also
came In for his share of the attacks
made in the summing up. Allen I.
Hairless. of the defense's counsel. de-
scribed him thusly:
''Heth, like stealthy German sub
marine. took gamblers chance and
lost. He followed the path of the
libertine and seduced to its logical
end, the grave"
The case will go to the jury some
time tomorrow.

tive OF thirty churches. with commu-
meant membership OF more than eigh-
teen million. in special session Assem-.
bled the council recorded the conviction
that the immediate prohibition of the
liquor traffic as war measure Is es-
sential to the conservation of the eco
nomic resources and latent power of the
nation.
The report declares that seven bill
lion pounds of food materials are an
nually used In the production of fer
mented and distilled liquors. the food
value of which support seven million,
men annually. The brewers themselves
have declared that their trade gives
employment to seventy-nve thousand
farmers for six months and about six
ty thousand men are employed in the
manufacture of liquor. These men are
needed for useful labor Moreover this
destructive effects of the traffic upon
the national life are well known.
These economic considerations in
crease the moral and religious convic-
ton with which the churches urge the
abolition OF the liquor traffic
The council is very well attended

For once the club was not heard
