"BILLY" SUNDAY
TYPE OF EVANGEL-
lists ARE SCORED
Especial to The Tribune)

Cincinnati, o., Mar 3.-Condemna-
tion of the Billy" Sunday type of
religious reform" was expressed by
Archdeacon Joseph Dodson, Colum-
bus, Ohio, in a MONDAY Lenten SER
mon at the Lyric theatre
1.-The Sunday method of evangelism
smacks of the three-ring circus" the
archdeacon said. 81 am sorry to hear
that he is to conduct campaign in Gin
cinnati. I regret that churches of
Cincinnati have turned to a three-ring
circus for a revival of religion.
I'm Ohio cities where l have visited
in which Rev. Mr. Sunday has held
reyivals I have found that his meet
ings leave a trail of divorces and
broken homes.
Salvation comes only through indi-
vidual effort The Sunday revival is
commercialized religion, and the
greatest camouflage scheme that has
been put forward in the name of
Christianity. 1t is commercializing
religion under a tabernacle, vituper-
alton, intolerance, indecent language
the kind of preaching that degrades
religion
'It is the kind of religion that
makes decent people say, "If that is
religion, l want none"
Arcbdeacon Dodson praised the
action of Methodists in refusing Of
ficially to approve Rev. Mr.. Sundays
campaign in Cincinnati.

MARYLAND FORBIDS
ENTRANCE OF White
Child in SCHOOLS
Especial to The Tribune)

Frederick, Nd, March 3.-A juve-
nile court case, developing an unusual
situation, is being held under con-
sideration by Judge Glenn H. Worth
ington. The proceedings grew out of
the arrest of Charles Ridge, living
near EmmitsBurg, charged with per-
mitting his son, Stanley Washington
Ridge, 12 years old, to remain away
from school. County Truant Officer
Frank Harshman reported the boy as
an habitual absentee from school, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Ridge and their son and
daughter, the latter about IA years old,
were summoned before the court
1t was learned that the teacher had
refused to accept the lad as a pupil
whereupon his sister declared that if
her brother was dismissed she would
also leave.
The maid point of the case centered
upon the eligibility of the lad to at
tend school for white children. His
dark complexion, black eyes and
straight hair contrasted to the fair
complexion, blue eyes and light hair
of the girl. Mr.. and Mrs. Ridge de-
clared emphatically that the lad was
their offspring and added that they
would never send him to any school
except for white children.
Several physicians gave the lad a
thorough examination. All agreed
that he was not of pure white blood.
After hearing the opinion of the
physicians in regard to the blood
strain of the lad, Judge Worthington
suggested that the family remove
across the state line into Pennsyl-
vania. where mixed" schools exist.
Mrs. Ridge replied that she would not
consider such a proposition, as she
paid taxes in" this state and county
and was entitled to public school
privileges. Judge Worthington de-
cided to hold the case under considera-
tion until he could confer with the
county school authorities.
County School Superintendent Pal
mer said the boy. would not be adj
mitted ito the white schools.
