HAGERSTOWN MASTERS
M|DDLET0WN QUINTET

HAGERSTOWN, Ind. Jan. 3.-Hag-
erstown journeyed to Middletown last
Friday and administered q to 10 de-
feat to the basketball team of the lat
ter city. Hagerstown was easily the
master team and only at one time was
the score tied, that being after about
Is minutes of play. Hagerstown then
loosened up again and the half ended
II to IL in favor of the Wayne county
lads.
The game was slowed up consider
ably as the summary will show, by
the close refereeing Of Rigsby of An
derson high school, who called a total
of So fouls.
Root, Leavell, Wichterman and Muir
ray. of Hagerstown. seemed to run an
equal race as point getters. Swanger
was easily the point getter for Middle
town, scoring 10 of their 49, Middle
town was able to connect with Just
four field baskets while Hagerstown
looped eleven. Middletown used eight
men in an attempt to stop Hagerstown
with substitutions galore but ii was of
no avail. the tide could not be stem
med. Teetor, the chunky little Hag-
erstown captain, did not score or do
any exceptional grand stand plays, but
re was highly complimented on his
excellent craftsmanship by his op-
ponents.
On next Friday night Hagerstown
will meet their old rivals, Cambridge
City. at Hagerstown. Hagerstown is
toted to be much the stronger team
of the two, and the final outcome
of the game is seen as another figure
in the H. H. S. win column.

DIVORCE MILL SWINDLE
ALLEGED IN new YORK
One Of Victims Said to Be Wife of
Representative From Foreign
Country to United States.

WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, April IA
statewide search has been inaugu-
rated for Herbert F. Miller, in con-
nection with a fake divorce mill' he
is alleged to have conducted from his
Manhattan Office.
An indictment, charging Miller with
forging the names Of several supreme
court justices to fraudulent divorce
DEGREES, will be sought, District At
torney Davis said, when the West
chester county grand jury meets next
week.
Mr. Davis also said he had received
complaints from scores of persons
who claim to have received quick Ai-
vorces on the Miller plan." Most
prominent Of these. he added, is the
wife Of representative from a for
eign country to the United States, but
he declined to make public her name.
Miller not only appeared in behalf
of clients in regular courts, but pre-
sided" over one of his own in his of
flee. the district attorney asserted.
His court" usually contained two
or three women who were handy to
give testimnoy. damaging or other
alleged to have received from 5000 to

tice law in New York. the district at

BEvERIDGE GIVES CREDIT

Religious Instruction as Agency of
Civilization Upheld ct Mas
Meeting in f.. !,lphia.

| PHILADELPHIA, April I.-Reli-
gious instruction was urged as ar
agency of civilization and as particu-
| larly useful in combating such doc
trines as bolshevism in mass meet
! ings here under the auspices of the
| Philadelphia Sunday School Associa-
| ton.
| Former United States Senator AL
! bert J. Beveridge of Indianapolis was
! the chief speaker at the principal
! meeting. He dealt at length with the
| study of Mosaic law. declaring the
study of these ancient statutes inval-
liable to the law student of today.
Tracing the enactment of pure food
legislation in the United States di-
| rectly to the principles set forth by
Moses. he said:
| "It is shocking to our SNUG COM
placency to realize that up to the en-
actment of our meat inspection law
some years ago the only scientific
America was done in Jewish abattoirs.
Our present meat inspection law was
inspired by the Mosaic statutes. Late
one night / picked up the Bible and
turned to the Law of Moses. and read
again about food, especially about
we were doing along the same lines,
and turned to the Revised Statutes. I
was astonished to find. although
pretty careful inspection of meat for
export was PROVIDED. tnere was prac-
tically no inspection at all of meat
food products sold to our people here
at home. Strangely enough, just at
this time there came the revelation
of conditions in the great packing
plants"
The speaker said he drafted a meat
inspection law, urged an investigation,
which President Roosevelt took up
introduced his bill in
the Senate. and with the whole pow
er of President Roosevelt's resistless
personality thrown into the fight" it
was passed.
