TO THE JURY TODAY
Evidence Completed and Law
yers Are Making Final Argu-
ment-White Takes Stand
SUPPORTS EVANS STORY

II is probable that the case against
William S. Leib, the Schuylkill county
politician, will go to the jury some
time this afternoon. Attorneys were
making their final address TO the jury
this morning.
Leib, facing four charges of forgery
in connection with state receipts for
taxes, is on trial before Judge John
son in the Quarter Sessions Court.
A long dispute between the lawyers
delayed proceedings when the case was
resumed this morning.
The prosecution wished to introduce
Thomas Raeburn White, a lawyer. to
support the testimony of James ID.
Evans. Of the Merchants & Evans Co.
who said that Leib called ut his Office
to demand the return of papers in pos
session of Evans. Mr.. White, accord
ing to Mr.. Evans, was present and re-
marked to Mr.. Leib:
GLOW do you expect TO do these
things and get away with it?'
To this Mr.. Leib replied, according
to Mr.. Evans: Sometimes men arc
poorly advised
Judge johnson allowed Mr.. White tc
take the stand. The lawyer supported
the testimony of Mr.. Evans.
Then Mr. Leib went on the stand and
denied that he had made n demand from
Mr.. Evans for the return of papers.

M. {. BISHOP RAPS
UNION OF CHURCHES
Kansas PreIate Says Action
Would Be Colossal BIunder."
Weak Ones Would Rule
NEED SENSE, NOT CENSUS

"a union Of the churches would be
the most colossal blundcr in the history
Of the world" said Bishop w. A.
Quayle. of Kansas City. at the con
vention Of the Board of Home Missions
and Church Extension of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, in session at 1905
Arch street.
"a union church in community
would be the greatest nuisance under
the sky he went on, "nnd it is far
better thing for the different dcnomina
tons to go on in their work sepa
rately even If they are not represented
by strong churches in community"
Bishop Quayle, reminiscent of Will
liam Jennings Bryan. in the length OF
his hair and the brilliance Of his ora
tory. made a marked impression on the
audience.
The weakest church in q community
union would dominate the organiza =
ton. he explained. because weak
church always has the most kickers.
The weaker a church is, the more kick e.
ers it can produce.
IAN INSTRUMENTATION union would
be particularly dangerous at this time,
because it would stir up the people of
different communities and make them
more unsettled and neurotic than they
are at present"
Bishop Quayle advocated just and
cordial relations and interdenomina-
tional courtesy between the churches.
The bishop said that some of the non
supporting churches showed the best
spiritual life in the church and that they
did an immense amount of good in
proportion to their size.
The church needs some sense a
whole lot more than census he said.

day was taken from scores of salary

the department include the extension of
contracts between the city and five
