MINISTER
PUT UNDER ARREST
REV. R. RUSHING ARRESTED
WITH WIFE OF ANOTHER
SPENDS NIGHT IN JAIL

A sensation was caused here by the
announcement that Rev. r. Rushing
for many years a minister of the
Christian church, was arrested by
Charles Summerfield, assistant chief OF
police at his apartments in the Idaho
Hotel building about midnight last
night in company with Mrs. Dixon
wife of Thomas Dixon, of Moscow.
The Rev. Mr. Rushing spent the re-
mainder of the night in the city Jail
but was released this morning when
his employer agreed to stand respon-
sible for his appearance in court when
his presence was desired.
Up to the time Of going to press no
warrant has been issued in any of the
Moscow courts and strong effort is
being made to keep the matter out OF
court. Charles Summerfiefd, who
made the arrest, when asked about
the case said:
"I made the arrest and found Mr..
Rushing in very compromising posi-
tion. I put him in Jail and did not
know he, had been released as turned
things over to the chief of police when
l left shift and have not seen him
since"
Chief of Police Stillinger said the
matter was up to Mr.. Dixon to act
upon and nothing would be done until
he decided whether he wished to bring
action in the courts.
The facts appear to be that for
some time there has been talk in the
Christian church about the relations
of Mr.. Rushing and Mrs. Dixon, and
that efforts had been made to stop
supposed intimacy between them.
Rev. J. Quincy Biggs, pastor of the
church, said that he had gone to Mr..
Rushing and a well-known woman
member Of the church had gone to
Mrs. Dixon and demonstrated with
them, but that their talks had done no
good, so trap was set for them.
M. T. Kellogg saw Mrs. Dixon go into
Mr.. Rushing's room late last night
and watched for a time, then he cali
ed Mr.. Summerfield, who stood guard
while Mr.. Kellogg secured witnesses,
and Mr.. Rushing was arrested. Mr..
Summerfield went to the Dixon resi-
dence and got Mr.. Dixon, who went to
the Rushing apartments and accom-
panied his wife to their home. Rev.
Mr.. Biggs asked that the church be
not blamed for the actions Of these
and declared that the church
peopiie a1e trying to break up such
practices and will not tolerate them.
He said he did not want to shield Mr.
Rushing nor Mrs. Dixon, but did not
want the church to be blamed because |
Of the wrong actions of some Of its
members. He said the church will not
,olerate such actions and is respon-
'ible for the exposure.
Mr.. Rushing's wife is in a very
.ritical condition at the home Of their
laughter in Spokane, where she has
.een for the past two months. He is
man well past middle age, has a
wife, several grown children, one son
eing in the army and has some
He acted as supply
astor for the Christian church after
ne former pastor left and until the
resent pastor, the Rev. J. Quincy
iggs assumed the pastorate.

$50 GUNS AND 1000
PRISONERS TAKEN
ALLIES PENETRATE GERMAN
LINES TO DEPTH OF SEVEN
MILES IN TWO DAYS
(By the Associated Press.)

=
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Germans have thrown large rein
forcements into the new battle line
between Scissors and the regien of
Chateau Thierry, they could not stem
the oHslaughts of American and
French troops.
Friday the Americans and French
battered their way eastward into the
deep triangle which has scissors,
Rheims and Chateau Thierry as its
points. They withstood a terrific
counter-attack on the plateau south
west of Scissors, where the allied
guns dominate this strategically i'm
portant town.
The gains Friday were carried to
their greatest depth in the center Of
the 25-mile line and on the southern
flank northwest of Chateau Thierry
where the Americans are holding
forth.
The fighting was particularly vio
lent throughout the day around
scissors and in the region. Of Chau-
dun, where the Germans sent in large
forces of reserves in an endeavor to
push back the allied troops. Here the
American artillery did notable work,
killing or wounding many of the
enemy and aiding greatly in staving
off the Germans.
The Americans northwest of Cha
teau Thierry have driven in the line
upon the plateau northwest of Bonnes
and to the height to the north of
Courchamps, the former position rep
resenting a gain Of three and half
miles from the point of original de-
parture at Torcy. While it is not pos
sible as yet geographically to dclimit
with exactitude the gains made in the
two days fighting along the front by
the French and Americans, it is
known that at its deepest point the
penetration has reached anproximate-
ly seven miles and that over the en-
tire 25 miles it ranges down to about
two miles.
In addition to the infliction of ex-
tremely heavy casualties on the enemy
the French and Americans up to the
present have taken more than 1900
prisoners, including two colonels with
their chiefs of staff, and In excess of
$50 cannon.
The offensive on the entire western
front seems to have shifted to the !
allies. East and west of Rheims,
where the Grmans last Monday start
ed a battle along a sfxtysfive mile
front from Chateau Thierry to east +
srn Champagne, the enemy is now on
the defensive on most of the sectors
where there is any fighting. Friday
saw the Germans lose additional
ground along the Marne to the French
md Italian troops. East of Rheims
he Germans have not seen fit to re-
ume the fighting.
Southwest of Ypres the British
lave carried out another successful
ncursion into the German lines, cap
uring the village Of Metern, point
