Double Significance.

Double Significance.
This temptation has a double sig
nihcance. First, it is an instructive
desire to use our powers in display
TO attract folks This seems to be a
natural law of both animal and hui
man beings. Likewise nations dis
play their great navies and armies to
impress their purposes. Second,
This was demand that came from
men themselves. Their cry was,
Show US a sign from heaven. 1t
was a temptation that logged Jesus
throughout his whole caree-. Jesus
rejected it as a means Of establish
ing the kingdom, because he knew
no mere display OF power would win
mems allegiance 20 his truth.
We are meeting just such a
temptation today in our efforts 10
establish the kingdom Of God on
earth as Jesus faced in his day. The
lure of the sensational is continually
tugging TO pull US away from our
moorings in the realm OF the moral
and spiritual. There are folks VINO
seek to have their way in life
through the display OF their wealth
and power. When the United States
wants to make an impression upon
some foreign nation, we mobilize our
war fleet and send it around the
world. We are more prone TO rely
/ upon the mobilization of army and
navy than TO rely upon the great
/ fundamental principles of justice
and service. Our generation has a
conspicuous example Of a nation
which depended upon the display OF
/ great power. Let America beware
that we do not yield to this lure OF
the sensational rather than to de-
pend upon the \eternal principles OF
right, justice and service, by which
we command obedience.
Doomed TO Fail.
THE mere display of material
power, whether it be by the individ-
ual who seeks TO enforce his will
over his fellow man or by the larger
group who controls the wealth, is
doomed to failure. The church can
not enforce the will and purpose of
| God by the great show OF ritual and
architecture, awning and subduing
the senses. They may become the
expression Of worship. but they can
never be a factor in the transforma-
ton OF moral character.
I'VE have to settle this same form
OF temptation in our life. 1t is
not limited to a theological inter-
probation Of an experience of Jesus
| Christ, but to the entire life Of the
world. This temptation once for all
! settled in the mind Of Jesus, the
reality Of spiritual power. This
temptation OF Jesus and the exper-
fences Of his followers vindicates the
great truth that spiritual ends can
be achieved by spiritual means. Any
thing other than this is a betrayal OF
his cause and program. There is no
substitute for a living fellowship
with the eternal Cod"

E. p. Morse Jr. Has
Detective Arrested
AS Phone Taper
Senes Co. Operative Ac-
cused of Listening In on
Talk About His Suit for
$400, 900 Against Father

George Anderson, an employee Of the
Senes Detective Bureau, Inc, 1876
Broadway, was indicted yesterday and
also arrested on charge Of illegally
tapping private telephone wire lead
ing into the Office Of Edward P. Morse
jr., head of the National Dry Dock and
Repair Company, 70 Broad Street. The
arrest was made by Detective Pierce
Fleming, Of the Old Slip station.
The wire was tapped March 9 while
Mr.. Morse, it is said, was talking to
his attorney regarding suit for $780,
600 brought by Mr.. Morse against his
father.
Early this month Mr.. Morse COM
planned to Acting District Attorney
Joab Banton, saying he was convinced
his wire WAS being tampered with. Mr..
Banton arranged with Edward j. Fan
Montague Street, Brooklyn, to hold a
fake conservation about the suit. The
house at "a Broad Street, in which the
wiretappers were believed to be operat-
ing, was surrounded by detectives.
On the top floor of the building, It
was said, Anderson was found seated
at table with double receiver
clasped to his ears. Fev this reason, it
is said, he was unable to hear the ap-
proach Of the detectives and was not
aware of their presence in the room
until they had taken hold of him.
Anderson was writing on pad in front
Of him when seized, according to the
police.
Asked what he was doing there, An
derson is said to have replied that he
had no explanation to make. The wire
was traced to its connection with the
telephone of Edward P. Morse jr. An
derson was arrested, released on bail,
and after his indictment was rearrested
yesterday and committed to the Tombs
for pleading to-day. Another person
indicted with him has not been caught.
Mr.. Morse, in his action against his
father, claims 100000 or more as a
member Of his fathers company, the
Morse Dry Dock and Repair Company.
The father contends that his son was

NEW ORLEANS, March 22.--Held In
cells in the New Orleans
Parish prison tonight were fivc men
who classified themselves as seamen,
but who, Captain J. H. 3. Van Weel-
dern, Of the New York and Cuba Line
freighter Rushville, said and Depart
ment Of Justice officials intimates
might be wanted in New York in con-
rection with the investigation Of the
Wall Street bomb plot Of September 16
last.
Shackled hand and foot the men were
taken from the steamer Rushville to-
day, hustled to the parish prison and
booked under the following names:
Philip Bender, Lionel Kuebreezuff, Ru-
dolph Dorsh, Hans Randin and Henrik
Lipan. They were then held incom-
ccmunicado.
Regarded as Desperate
After Captain Van Weeldern had re-
lated the manner in which the men
were captured and the difficulties en-
countered in moving them from Rio de
Janeiro to New Orleans, he, too, be-
came uncommunicative and tonight
would make no further statement. De-
partment of Justice officials said they
were awaiting instructions"
Last Saturday, when the Rushville
was approaching this port, the master
requesting that they care for FIVE "con-
sular prisoners" Elaborate prepara-
tions we're made for handling the cap
tives and they were treated as des-
perate men.
Orders issued by the master Of the
Rushville were that no member Of the
crew should discuss the prisoners with
outsiders under penalty Of salary de-
ductions. The captain, however, re-
lated the circumstances leading up to
his acceptance Of the men as involun-
tary passengers,
Late last month, according to Cap
tain Weeldern. the United Ststes Ship
ping Board steamship City Of Alton,
then nearing Rio de Janeiro, received
wireless message, presumably from
ment, requesting the arrest of the five
men. A fight started and, according ia
Captain Van Weeldern, it was with ex-
treme difficulty that the men were sub.
dued, placed in irons and taken to Rio
de Janeiro, where they were i'm
prisored.
Start Fight on Ship
The American Vice-Consul at Rio de
Janeiro, according to Captain Var
Weeldern, requested the Munson Lines
steamship Yoro to take the quintet tc
New York, where it was said they were
wanted" Still heavily guarded, the
men were placed aboard the Yoro, and
in some manner, according to the Rush
Vile captain, started a furious fight
The Yoro's master then speedily re-
turned them to the Rio de Janeiro Jail
About that time the Rushville came
in to load coffee for New Orleans, and
Vice Consul Thomas managed to per-
suade Captain Van Weeldern to at
tempt transportation Of the prisoners;
The officers of the Rushville passed
the day and part of tonight in the
Offices of the Department of Justice
No indication was given as to when
the prisoners would be taken to New

of the Brooklyn prohibition enforce
ment Office, has been ordered by Judge

priation for that purpose and did not

One More OF
iEnrigf1t's Auto
Squad Indicted
De,cctive Sergeant Said To
Be Accused of Neglect
Of Duty in Permitting
Motor Thief to Go Free
New Bills Due To-morrow
Present Line of Inquiry Isl
Expected to Throw Light
ON C0llusion Reports

The nineteenth Indictment voted by
the extraordinary grand jury in the
Whitman investigation Of the Hylar
administration was returned yesterday
when true bin was found against
another member Of tho automobile
squad Of the Police Department.,
Because the indicted officer, said to
be u detective sergeant, Is not yet
under arrest. his name was not dis
closed last night by Mr.. Whitman.
From reliabls sources it was learned
by a reporter for The Tribune that
the policeman named is one who has
already been indicted by the extraor
dinary grand jury on the charge Of
having accepted unlawful gratuities
for the return Of stolen automobiles.
The last indictment is said to charge
neglect of duty and to open up an en-
sion between auto crooks and members
Of the Police Department..
More Indictments Expected
The alright secrecy which surround
ed the activities of Mr.. Whitman and
his assistants preliminary TO the pre-
sentation to the grand jury of the evil
dence which led to the last indictment
caused the general belief among at
taches of the District Attorneys Of
fee that it was only one of series
to be voted this week.
The majority of the evidence on
which the new true bills are expected
to be voted was presented yesterday,
and it is believed that other indictments
will be handed up to Judge Thomas c.
T. Grain on Thursday. That they were
not voted yesterday, it was said, was
due to the absence Of certain witnesses
who are expected to furnish testimo ony
which, while not of great. Importance,
Is technically necessary in the draw
ing Of the indictments.
The new indictments, involving mem
bers Of the automobile squad of the
Police Department, will all involve the
new charge of neglect of duty and some
will constitute superseding counts,
The policeman accused yesterday is
said to be out on $500 bail as a re-
suit of his former Indictment and is
expected to. be arraigned for pleading
IN General Sessions to-day.
Said to Have Let Thief Go
His indictment is reported to have
resulted from the failure to arrest q
certain automobile thief who had a
stolen car in his possession. The off
Ger Is said to have had full knowledge
that the car was stoleny but, notwith-
standing this, permitted both the tAiet
and the car to get away.
The thief, who is said to be we'll
known to Mr.. Whitman and his assist
ants and to have provided them with
much valuable information, was subse-
quently arrested by a patrolman in
connection with the theft which re-
suited in this last Indictment.
According to information given q
reporter. for The Tribune last night
the indictments charging neglect of
duty are expected to show closer con
nection between automobile thieves and
policemen than any of the charges that
nave been brought against members of
the automobile squad since Mr.. Whit
man began his Investigation

other letters said to have
passed between Mrs. Stillman and the
French might be offered.
The purpose of such moves would be
not only to show that Mr.. Stillman's
income is not sufficient to. permit the
payment of additional alimony and
counsel fees, but also to get into the
record basis for the charges he makes
in his complaint against Mrs. Stillman.
Against such move and to make
known to the court that Stillman is in
similar position to that of his wife,
Mrs. Stillman's lawyers may present
affidavits supporting her answer which
names Mrs. Florence H. Leeds as CO.
respondent and alleges that Stillman
is the father of the child known as
Jay Leeds.
A galaxy of legal talent will be
present at the hearing to-day. Among
the lawyers will be included Cornelius
senting Mr.. Stillman; John F. Bren-
nan, William M. Park and John E.
Mack, guardian ad litem for Guy Still
man, who is named as co-defendant
with his mother, and George E. Cog
gill, also representing Mrs. Stillman.
Sources responsible for the state
ment that Mr.. Stillman is in possession
of letter written by Mrs. Stillman
admitting friendship for Beauvais, the
guide, declared yesterday that the let
ter could have no possible bearing on
that if it were used at all it could
only be offered in support of Mr.. Still
mans allegation that he is not the
father Of Guy Stillman or for the
purpose Of Identification at the hear
ing to-day.
A report was in circulation about the
Courthouse at White Plains yesterday
to the effect that an agreement had
actually been arrived at regarding the
amount of alimony which Stillman will
pay Mrs. Stillman. 1t was impossible
to verify the stories that were being
circulated.
Now that the alleged facts as to Mrs.
Leeds's association with Mr.. Stillman
are current, relatives of Mrs. Stiilman
are rallying to her support from vari-
Gus directions. Yesterday Mrs. Grace
Howard Potter, cousin of Mrs. Still
man, who lives at 30 West Fifty-fourth
Street, said:
$50 far as / am concerned, I intend
to give Mrs. Stillman every support in
my power, having every confidence in
her goodness and womanliness, her 10y
atty to her children and her faithful
ness TO Mr. SCllIman, as well as ner de-
votion so long as he permitted her to
be devoted"
Father to Aid Mrs. Stillman
Alonzo Potter, of "a Broad Street,
said, in commenting on the case yes
terday, that undoubtedly the father of
Mrs. Stillman, James Brown Potter,
would come from France to lend her
his support. 1t was reported later in
the day that Mrs. .Stillman had already
been notified of her fathers intention
to leave France for the United States
next week. Mr.. Potter added:
"Mrs. Stillman is Mr.. Potter's only
child, and his holdings in many com
panies are in excess of a million dol.
lars. Until Mrs. Stillman was almost
grown up she knew nothing about her
fathers blighted romance She was
always told that her mother might be
expected home at any time and every
day she used to place flowers on hel
mothers dressing table, saying in hel
pretty way that mamma would come
some day unexpectedly and she must
be sure to find flowers on her table
when she did come.
