many long plaintive explanations
Of his elopement that the main
reason for leaving his faithful
wife was that "she did not know
how to dress and was not up to
his exacting ethical requirements.
For over four years the Rev.
Mr.. Culp and the little music
teacher have known each other,
friendship and comradeship grad
ually ripening into love and final
ly into a passion that was not to
be denied.
It was a strange story they told
IN the Jail at Port Huron, a story
almost unbelievable in it's unusual
features and its pathetic denuncia-
ton Of a wife who had borne to
her minister r-husband nine children
and yet found time and op-
portunuy to think of his comfort
and happiness.
Here is his story:
"She kissed US good.by and
told US to 60. She knew that
Esther and I have loved each
other for a long time. She felt
that II was better that we leave.
Esther had been living with US
for the summer. My wife had In
vited her into the home as a girl
friend. not as a companion. She
knew Of our love for each other.
She realized that Esther had taken
the supreme place in my life. But
she thought II she invited the
girl into our home perhaps condi-
tions would be more settled. She
came then not temporarily, but
permanently.

But after she had been in our
home awhile my wife became in

the great, burning love that have
for Esther.
my wife has never been a real
wife to me. She is uneducated
and ignorant. That was the whole
trouble. For a number Of years 1
hungered for the love Of a noble.
Christian woman, one who could
understand and sympathize with
me and assist me In my ministerial
work. Esther did all that for me,
and more.
Finally conditions became un-
bearable. My wife told me to take
Esther home. I said: II she goes,
go with her. My wife answered.
Very well, then, you both CO.
''She knew when we planned our
departure. She assisted Esther In
the packing OF her bag, telling her
what things she should take with
her.. Then she kissed US good. by.
II was no abandonment Of my
home. My wife had told me to go
and I went"
In the pastors car the eloping
pair sped to Chicago. where they
remained but a few days. Then
leaving the car, there they came
to Detroit, staying but a day. Their
destination was some up-river sum-

unknown and not liable to detec-
ton.

But the convict clergyman, after
reading the letter, said:

love. and hereafter I will do all
in my power to help humanity.
"I have deep contrition for all
! have done. I know now that I
did wrong. and that Esther and l
should not have defied the laws
Of man and the commandments of
God. All that Is past. Esther was
a beautiful dream, but a dream
that I now realize is one that for
me could never come true. My
only thought now is for the fam
fly, and look forward to the
time when I shall be free to serve
them again"
This Is the most beautiful sight
I ever saw" the convicted minis
ter said. as he pulled from a pocket
a picture of the nine children.
II don't know how to leave them.
When I think OF them at work and
play. and the long, long days be-
fore me here It seems as though
my heart would break"
The picture, he confided, was
given him by Mrs. Culp. the re-
jected wife, in a little farewell
scene staged in the judges cham
Der at the court house.
Wont you forgive me?" plead
ed Culp. his voice choked with
tears.
And the wife, who had learned
in the newspapers that she could
not cook. wouldn't dress up
wouldn't be a Christian-wouldn't
help her husband work upward,
but dragged him downward, said:
Surely, Walter. I freely for
give you everything"
Then she threw her arms about
his neck and kissed him, and the
court officers, watching the family
scene, said that the caress was
returned. -

w the surrender to Poland
of Germany's richest industrial
possessions in Upper Silesia, the
export markets OF that region
pass into a new phase.
1t is too early to say whether
this will be to the advantage or
disadvantage of the country.
Some time must elapse before 1t
becomes clear how well the
cement of fifteen-year economic
unity will hold together the gap
torn open by the Versailles
Treaty.
But one thing is already GER
tain and that is the necessity OF
speaking and thinking in terms
of sharply divided Polish and
German industries.
The largest German industrial
works in Polish-Silesia are the
Hohenlohe Works and the Katto-
witz Works. both Of which will
continue to be operated by their
original owners.
That part of the Hohenlohe
concern that is situated on Ger
man soil. and therefore is not af-
fected by the Geneva decision, will
be Incorporated in Gleiwitz, and
the same is true OF the Kattowitz
concern.
There are others OF the large
Industrial concerns which will

The girl affinity at first refused
to answer any questions. The min
lister denied his identity when con-
fronted by the sheriff, and only
after long questioning did he admit
he was the missing pastor from
Spring Valley.
TELLS OF TROUBLES.
Cheerful and confident and with
seemingly little to worry him. the
fiery-tongued pastor talked freely
Of his troubles, his marital unhap-
piness, his miserable boyhood, his
infatuation for the pretty music
teacher, who forsook her family
and respectability to cast her lot
with his, and he said:
Either a martyr to Christianity
or a double-dyed villain-I am one
or the other. But do not believe
that any jury will find me a villain.
II hold no man should be eter-
nally damned because he seeks the
love which he has never possessed.
Life is a long trip through the will.
derness, and somewhere in that
wilderness is a rose for every man,
the rose Of love.
Its possession means happiness
and success. But IL a man pluck
a thistle by mistake. must he then
refuse the rose when he chances on
II later?
MARRY FOR LOVE-"
Never marry without genuine
love! II there had been real love
in my marriage I would not be
here todayr'
And what Of the girl who came
of her own free will with the
runaway minister?
With her hair braided in a
small knot at the back Of her
neck, and dressed in blue MILDLY
and heather skirt, she appeared
like what she really is-a young
girl, refined and cultured, from
the small town.
In a quiet voice she said:
I'VE were not running away
from our troubles. One can't run
away from ones troubles. But
conditions grew so unbearable at
the home that we could stand II
no longer. Mrs. Culp has heaped
all kinds Of abuse upon me, and
has believed the worst things pos
sible about me.
II love Mr.. Culp. don't ever
expect to meet another man that
I can love as well. II they take
him away from me there will be
nothing left in my life.
Am I going back to live in
Spring Valley? I don't want to.
The world is wide, and surely
there is a place somewhere for
U.S."
CALLS WIFE IGNORANT.
She told Of meeting the minister
when she was but fourteen years
old: how she assisted him in his
church work: how she did every.
thing possible to take the place Of
the wife. who was too busy with
her nine children to devote any
time to church or mfssion work.
Friendship grew into love. We
fought against this love for the
sake OF his family. His wife knew

"Oh. God, forgive me-" were his
last words as ne was taken back to
Jail. Just before court opened the
preacher defendant told newspaper
men that his mother. Mrs. Amss
Culp, of Napanee, Ind. had turned
a deaf ear to his plea for assist

Instead she wrote my family
that the girl and I should both be
in jail"

better now than ever before" said
the father of nine, who deserted
them and the wife Of his youth to
elope with the pretty eighteen
year-old music teacher. She looks
better to me today than she has
for years"
Mrs. Culp. the deserted wife, and
her nine children, including the
twins of seven months, were among
those who stood on the station
platform and saw husband and
father brought back.
Mrs. Culp waved to her husband
and in response he raised a man.

and the children. No words were
exchanged, and the recreant
churchman was hurried to Jail.

Culp eloped with Esther

music teacher, after an in
trigue Of four years, carried
on under the eyes Of his
wife, the mother of nine chill

declared that he had been

with his wife to forgive him

MARGIN FOR SUBSIDY LOWER

SPONSORS.
MARINE ACT PASSED
BITTER FIGHT OVER MERCHANT
MARINE BRINGS VICTORY TO
REPUBLICANS.

Washington. - The administration
shipping bill, around which was waged
the most bitter partisan fight of the
present Congress, had "a votes to
spare. The final count was 20s to 1S4.
Slxty-nIne Republicans broke away
from their party organization and op-
posed the bill, while four Democrats
supported 1t.
There never was much doubt about
the result, but the margin by which II
went through was much lower than es-
Inmates publicly given by most OF the
leaders. Ii was, however, just about
what they figured on privately.
In the face OF threats to delay, II
not prevent, its passage by the Senate,
the measure will go TO the Senate com
mittee which plans to accept II as
passed by the House.
Roll call from the states OF Colorado,
Wyoming and New Mexico show the
representatives voting on the shipping
bill as follows:
Charlottesville, Timberlake and
Hardy (Republicans) voting for; Tay,
lor (DemOcraD against.
Wyoming-Mondell (Rep), for.
New Mexico-Montoya (Rep), for.
The House. in the last stage of the
battle, defeated an amendment by Rep
resentative Lanham, Democrat, Texas,
designed to give the measure what he
declared was its proper name. Mr..
Lanham wanted to change the title of
merchant marine act to the ship sub
sidy act of 1922, asserting that he has
put forward the proposal in the final
hope that spade may be called by its
proper name"
As passed by the House, no line was
left in the bill relating to the subject
OF liquor selling on American ships.
When the question was reached in
committee of the whole, the Bankhead
out-and-out prohibition amendment
was put aside and Il substitute offered
by Mr.. EdmOnds accepted.
1t stipulated that II ship on any
portation of liquor, 1t could not share
in subsidy for that voyage.
The House made number OF
changes in the bill as reported by the
merchant marine committee. One OF
them gave Congress the right to ap-
propriate annually out of the merchant
marine fund the money necessary to
carry out the provisions of the act.
Another provided that industrial
ships, such as those owned by the
Standard Oil Company, should not col
lect compensation on any portion OF a
vessel carrying cargo of the ship own
ers
The provision of the bill giving in
come tax reductions to shippers send
ing their goods abroad in American
vessels was stricken out, and the
House also stipulated that the steam
ship Leviathan should not be sold for
less than the cost of recondltioning-
$780, 900.
Purchasers of shipping board vessels
would pay not less than Az per cent
interest on deferred payments. instead
of a per cent, as originally stipulated
in the bill, under an amendment adopt
ed, and money loaned to prospective
constructors would bring the govern.
