POSTPONE CHURCH CAMPAIGN

Support of Laymen Not Strong
Enough to Insure Success, Claim.
Topeka will have no church attend
ance campaign-at least not until next
fall. according to a decision of the
Ministerial union. The five weeks in
tensive campaign to increase church
attendance in the city. as suggested
by Roscoe C. Ellis and supported by
various ministers and laymen of the
city and by civic organizations, was
vetoed by the ministerial organization
in a meeting at the Central Y. NJ. c. A.
on Friday.
1t is understood that the ministers
felt that the laymen, particularly the
business men, were not strongly
enough behind the campaign to in
sure its success. Some ministers OPP
posed the method of financing the
campaign, which was to pro-rate the
cost among the churches according to
the size of membership. Altho the
Merchants association did not support
the campaign proposal as an organi-
cation with it's financial aid, individ-
uals among them were willing to assist
financially.

 FARMERS EYES OPENING
 As the debate on the tariff bill pro- gresses. southern farmers are evidently becoming aware of the republican game to hand them gold brick" When the bill was before the House, and they were promised protection against the Orient for their peanuts. they fell over' themselves in efforts to persuade their representatives. And they did persuade almost half the members from southern states.
 Since the bill went into the hands of the Senate, southern farmers havc learned that in securing protection for peanuts, they are required to pay dearly-2 cents per pound on meat. 30 cents per bushel on wheat and rela- tive amount. of course on flour. 10 cents per pound on sugar and st per par on shoes. As a result the indi- cations are that few southern senators VIII line up with the republicans
 There are several who are moved in ''itiA W iiOot Dull IS ROTeQ. But they are in a great minority.
 study of the votes by which cer- tain amendments have already been adopted indicates that the democrat ts on all amendments and on the bill, itself, will lose Senators Randsell and Gay of Louisiana, who are vitally con cerned respecting the sugar industry. and Senators Myers, Smith of Arizona and Sheppard of Texas, who are caring Tor the meat producers.
 senators Pittman and Henderson of Nevada supported the meat schedule. put opposed the wheat schedule It is diverting to note that two New Eng land senators, Moses and Reyes, are voting consistently against the bill. All New England is opposed to a pro- hibitive tariff on raw materials. but with the exception of these two. Pen rose has forced all of them to take their medicine.
 Senator Culberson of Texas consis- tently opposes the bill and its various sections; his colleague, Senator Shep- pard of prohibition glory. supports if and all it's schedules. The "jeopardy' of Texas steer raisers shake him from from his democratic moorings.

GRAND JURORS ID PROBE INTO THREE
 MURDER MYSTERIES
Slaughter of Judge Price, Chopped to Death With AH
 at Meridian, Will Be h. yestigated at This Term

Meridian. Miss, February 7.-(Specfal) ) A four weeks term of the Iauderdale county criminal session of the circuit court was convened here this morning by Judge J. D. Fatheree, who in charging the grand jury, called special attention to the unusual number of crimes com mitted in this county during the past year and urged the body to exert every possible effort to bring the guilty to jus tee.
 The grand jury began it's deliberations without loss of time and the results Of it's investigations from day to day will bo awaited anxiously, especially with reference to it's probe into the murder on the morning of January 14 of former United States Commissioner Moody Price. who was hacked to death with an ax while asleep by the side of his wife at his home in Meridian. This murder has haffled the local authorities and several expert detectives who worked on the case several days following commission of the crime and there is standing re- ward of s2.So0 offered for information that will lead to the arrest and convic- tion of the murdererS.
 The grand jury also will investigate two other killings since the last term of the criminal court. Principal of these is Mrs. Josephine Morris, who was found ceau in cornfield near her home in the Nimville community with her head half shot away. The other is that of w H. Parker, a former justice of the peace in the Collinsyille community, who is all legged to have been slain by Claude and Paul Houston. twin brothers, as the re- suit of q dispute over the impounding of scme cows.
 The brothers waived preliminary trial to await action of the grand jury. Roy Miner, young man of prominent family in this city, has been held since the crime, as a suspect in the murder of Mrs. Morris has never asked for prelim- mary hearing, apparently being willing to await the action of the grand jury.

 In order, therefore, that the great meat industry of the United States, representing 99 per cent of the con sumption, might be protected against
 the one per cent of meat represented by imports, the republicans proceed to
 tax the consumer of the United States cents per pound.
 NO DEFENSE OFFERED
 In course of the debate on the meat section of the tariff bill, Senator Un- derwood of Alabama declared it to be very dangerous to American industry
 that it has only 99 per cent of the American market in which to exploit itself" By rapid calculation, Senator Pomerene of Ohio reached the con clusion that the amount of imported meat against which protection was asked, served as one-fourth of a pound per annum for the population of the United States.
 A remarkable feature of the debate on the meat schedule was that the republican protectionists, led by Sem ator Penrose and Senator Shoot, did not dare defend that schedule. They relied successfully on the weight of luelr NiumDerS to put IL Into elltCI IT = respective of the iniquity which democrats repeatedly exposed.
