Motor TO Columbus to
Visit Daugherty.

MARION, o., Dec. 1o.--President-
eFeet Harding began his conferences
here on the plan for an Association Of
Nations by a long talk to-day with
Charles Evans Hughes, in which the
whole question Of American relations
with Europe was surveyed in detail.
Afterward neither would reveal
whether any conclusions were reached.
Mr.. Harding declining TO talk about
the subject
While the conference was IN prog
ress Col George Harvey arrived here
unnnnounced and later motorcd &c
Columbus with Mr.. Harding and Mr.
Hughes, where the three had lunch
with H. NJ. Daugherty, tho President
elects close political adviser.
Mr.. Harvey, who spent two weelSs
here while Mr.. Harding was formu-
lating his League OF Nations policy
in the campaign, may remain for
several days at Harding headquarters
here.
The fact that Mr.. Hughes was the
first Republican leader to be sum-
moned into consultation by the Presi-
dent-eleCt revived rumors that he
was being strongly considered for
Secretary of State. There was no
authority evidenced to support this
report, however during his visit here
At the end Of the conference with
Mr. Harding, Mr., Hughes issued this
statement:
I'VE have been talking over the
important questions which are press
ing for solution in connection with
our foreign policies, questions which
must be considered in the light Of
conditions which are constantly
changing
THE solution will of course be
found in harmony with Senator
Harding's statements in 'the course
of the campaign. 1t was most grati-
flying to have had this interview"
1t was learned to-day that Herbert
Hoover, who had been expected to see
Mr.. Harding tomorrow, Will not
reach Marion until Sunday.

PASTOR
WARNED GIRLS NOT
TO TEMPT" MEN
DR.. DenSel, on Return, Said
Fault Was Not All His,
Though He Took Blame.
MAY BE REINSTATED.
Church Men Inclined to Pardon
Minister, but None Defends
Woman in Case.

Among the shocked and sorely dis
tressed congregation OF the First
Netherlands Church of Passaic there
was talk to-day OF forgiving and
even reinstating the Rev. Cornelius
Densel, the pastor who went away
with a choir singer. then repented
and returned.
But an Evening World reporter
could find no member OF the church
who had other Than bitter words for
the woman, Trina Hannenberg Ir
fact there was talk of expelling the
whole Hannenberg family from the
church membership.
Reasons for pardoning the man
and not the woman were found in re-
cent words Of the pastor himself,
spoken on the Friday before his dis
appearance. 1t was in a fatherly ad-
dress 10 the young people Of the
church, an address of warning, es-
peoially 10 the girls.
II is not altogether the fault OF the
man II he falls, the pastor said, when
the girls dress as they do to-day. He
counseled the young women mot to
tempt men by using paint and pow
der and wearing eS1reme clothes"
CALLED COSMETICS AND SHORT
SKIRTS TEMPTATION.
THE girls say it is the mans own
fault, but I say it is not" declared
the clergyman. "Cosmetics and skirts
to the knees constitute grave temp
tation TO the men. l want you all 70
go to Heaven. God has sent me to
bring this TO your ears that he may
bring it to your hearts"
This quotation was regarded as cs-
pecially significant in connection with
newly revealed details of the home
coming of the minister When he
went to the church and threw him
self upon the mercy Of his congroga-
ton, he is now quoted as having smd:
'"The fault was not all mine. but l
accept all tho blame"
This Is tho first inumation that
the pastor considered himself to have
had any excuse for his conduct--nn
excuse to which he called attention,
but upon which he did not care to
insist.
Not that Miss Hannenberg uses cos
metics or dresses like a chorus girl.
All the congregation admit that she
Is lyuiltless Of these things But they
feel that the minister none the less
was right in saying the fault was
not all his.
Miss Hannenberg Is Uwenty-siN years
old, and the men OF the congregation
generally confess that she Is attrac-
tivc-of good figure. dark hair and
eyes, excellent natural complexion
Her dress is described as irreproach-
ably modest.
She became a governcss IN the
minister's family ten years ago, when
he had just come TO America and knew
no English.
On the Wednesday evening before
his departure the pastor spoke at the
weekly prayer meeting, using as his
text the seventh verse Of tho sixteenth
chapter OF the Gospel according to ST.
John. Afterward it was remembered
that he had quoted the text many
times in the course Of his address.
This was the text:
"NeVertheless l tell you the truth.

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
UNWORTHY LEApERsHIp.

FA1RMoNT, Feb. 2S-[Editor The
West Virginian1-People who know
the class of miners we have in North
ern and Central West Virginia were
shocked yesterday when they read
the speech of Frank Keeney, presi-
dent Of District No. IT, United Mine
Workers OF America. Not knowing
keeney very well, they were astound-
cd that well meaning American citi-
zens would follow the leadership of
such blatant blatherskite. It doesn't
take whiskers and unkept hair to
make Bolshevist, for Keeney is as
red" as any Russian in Europe. He
hates the men who feed him and fur
nish work for his misguided follow
ers. Getting hot under the collar, he
shed his coat, displaying "big gun, %
as he called it, the ivory handle peep
ing out of his hip pocket. \ Here is a
sample Of his bolshevistic utterances:
What labor wants is the wealth 1t
creates. If create $24 Of wealth, 1
want every cent of that money ex-
cepting the necessary upkeep of the
plant in which work" We suppose
some unknown person was to donate
the plant for Mr.. Keeney to work in,
but he didn't say as to that; the only
thing he mentioned was hat he was
willing to give up enough from his
earnings for the upkeep of the plant.
Seeing, no doubt, that many Of his
hearers were disguised with such re-
marks, he roared out: Some OF you
men here are SO yellow, IL they took
the yellow out of you, you wouldn't
weigh fifteen pounds" That was an
uncalled for Insult to his audience.
1t was at this point that he displayed
the revolver. Another of Mr.. Kee-
ney's delectable expressions was: al
know my constitutional rights and
! I'll have my rights or I'll raise hell. /"
This profane talk was going on dur
ing the time of the memorial exer-
cises for the boys who had lost their
lives to make this country safe for
democracy" and just following the
