SHOP LITTER, TOO,
EVIDENCE SHOWS
Emma Wilson, Negro Woman, Arrest
ed For Stealing $l4s From Chinese
Laundryman Is Held to Grand
Jury on Grand Larceny
Charge-StOIe Skirt
From Store.

Emma Wilson, negro girl, arrested
Saturday as she was about to take a
c. & o. train for Springfield, Ohio, was
given an examination in Police Court
this afternoon on a charge of Grand
Larceny in connection with q $148 rob-
berry at the Wing Sing Chinese Laun-
dry at the corner Of East Third and
Limestone streets.
Sing, the Chinaman, was the chief
prosecuting witness but as the court
could not understand him, Rev. A. f.
Stahl, was appointed Interpreter and
told the court what the Chinaman was
trying to say. His evidence was very
conclusive and at the conclusion Of
the states evidence, Attorney Frank P.
O'Donnell, who was appointed to rep
resent the defendant, did not offer tes-
timony.
Judge Whitaker held the negro girl
for Grand Jury investigation and
placed her bond at $500. The Grand
Jury will convene tomorrow and will
then take up the case.
This girl is guilty of shop lifting as
well as grand larceny, according to
information obtained by Chief Ort to-
day in an investigation to learn what
she had done with the money she had
evidently spent. The sum of $14S was
stolen but only 800 was found on her
person. The Chief found that she had
spent something over $40 in a local
store and that skirt which she was
wearing when she was arrested had
been stolen from a suit at another To-
cal store.

CONDEMNS CHURCH
AS AN ARISTOCRAT

Democratize religion was the plea
made last night by DR.. David Ransom
Covell, pastor of the Trinity Church.
who in stirring sermon, condemned
the Christian Church as an aristocrat
that has failed in it's sacred duty.
DR.. Coyell cited the Trinity Church
forum as one of the best examples
of church democracy.
"An the talking. all the reading,
all the praying in the church is done
by one man whom you call q minister,
but whose powers would cause an
outsider to regard him as a monarch
OF some religion. You have turned
over to the clergy the definition and
activities OF religion and when you
cry out for participation you are
surprised that some OF the more mar
row-minded of them refuse to have
their powers discontinued.
Rev. William o. Roome. jr., in his
sermon at the Emmanuel Episcopal
Church last night, declared that
prophecies of the Old Testament and
the New are being fulfilled in our
day, in Turkey and the Holy Land"
DR.. Roome called upon the people to
heed what is happening now in the
world and be ready for the end.
The church should mingle in
corrupt political campaigns, declared
DR.. Paul kaufman, preaching on
Christianity and Citizenship" at the
Mount Pleasant Methodist Episcopal
Church yesterday.
The Rev. Stephen Gardner in his
sermon at st. Johns Church, Lafay-
cite Square, called upon the people to
unite as Americans in a single pur-
pose, not only to aid themselves, but
to employ all means to help their
brothers across the sea
when men shall understand Gods
idea of the meaning of neighbor, the
idea of a universal tie that binds
together all humanity as one, then
shall the world be ready for q league
Of nations based on human rights"

tute electrocution for hanging as
a method OF executing capital

IT have been surprised to md

bia q method Of punishment
which enlightened opinion has
long condemned, and which has
been abandoned by many OF the
States as baFbarous."
The bill provides that the ex-
ecutioner and necessary assist
ants. not more than three, shall

the Commissioners of the District,

sion warrants.
