Speech May Have
That Effect.

Washington, .. c, June Sits
an Ill wind that blows no good
and already enough has happened
10 Indicate that one of the unex-
pected effects of the speech of Sen
stor James Watson, Republican, Of
Indiana, criticizing European dip
lomats for speech making on the
tariff question will be to muZZle
American diplomats abroad.
For a long time the present ad-
ministration has been embarrassed
by the speech making procliyities
Of some of the American ambassa-
doris The notable George Harvey
al London has with difficulty sup
pressed his desires for expression.
Significant therefore is the con-
start emphasis by high officials of
the American government that in
asking the foreign diplomats to re-
,rain from discussing the tariff and
other domestic questions, the Unit
ed States is merely asking that
ether governments observe the
same rules and instructions as are
III NIENI OA LAAON OuOJOSb III INV
American code for ambassadors
and ministers.
Speeches Forbidden.
Careful examination of the print
ed code reveals the fact that all
speeches by American diplomatic
officers are absolutely forbidden ex-
cept on extraordinary festal occa-
sions, and the inference is that the
American diplomats will even then
confine their remarks to comments
on the beauties of nature and the
wonderful opportunities nations
have nowadays to further the broth
erhood of man.
It's difficult to lecture an ambas-
sador like George Harvey, whose
political influence is multiplex and
whose ability to express himself is
attested by a long career as a jour
nalist and editor-a master of after
dinner oTatory and satire. But it
Is important to note that even Sena-
tor Watson used in his speech an
Illustration based on the hypothesis
that Colonel Harvey might make
sundry remarks on British internal
conditions.
Americans Offend, Too.
The truth is the American diplo-
mats in the past have offended al
most as much as European diplo-
mats here and what We are wit
nessing in fact is a return to pre-
war normal in diplomatic .etiquet

Naperville, Ill, June 9.-(By the
Associated Press John G. Gam
Der, state fire marshal, today ques-
toned a number of Naperville res
iden:s in an effort to determine re-
sponsibility for the fire which
early Sunday morning destroyed
the SITS. Peter and Paul Catholic
church here.
While stating that persons ques-
toned were not under suspicion IN
connection with the fire, which the
fire marshal declares was OF in
cendiary origin, Mr.. Gambler said
he believed some of those question
ed could give some information
that will be of value.
Following a trip to Plainfield
Ill, where the Ku K1ux Klal held
an initiation last Saturday night
Mr.. Gambler said there was no evi-
Gence to connect this organization
or any other particular person OF
organization with the blaze.

that if sufficient evidence was uli-
covered the case would be present

venes at Wheaton next Monday. He
said, however, that there was ne
evidence in his possession at pres
ent to warrant action.
MIR. Gambler today also was in
vestigating a theory that "firebug'
might have ben responsible for the
blaze. According to the state fire
marshal, there have been nalf {

mended were good
Echo of 1'POnZT' Case.
The money, he was quoted as
saying, was turned over to the firm
of L. Harrington and Bischoff, in
Chicago. Bischoff recently was
charged with swindling foreign
born citizens out of sums said to
total more than a million dollars.
When Bischoff was arrested, Har-
rington, formerly his partner, but
at that time in business for him
self, fled from Chicago, leaving liza
bilities totaling more than half q
million dollars.
Harrington and Bischoff, accord
ing to government and state Off
cials, merely gave persona! notes
for the money given them to invest,
occasionally paying back a small
part of it to avoid complaints from
the customers.
Brazonski is believed to have
been one of their agents.

CHR|ST'S LAST DAYS ON EARTH RELATED
Dr. Stuart Delivers Strong Sermon on Palms and
 Th0rnS

Palms and Thorns" was the sub ject of the sermon of Dr. George R. Stuart. pastor, at the First Meth odist church. Sunday morning, and he drew graphic word pictures of the scenes of triumph as well as the hours of deepest humiliation which marked the last week of Christ's life prior to his crucifixion and subse- quent resurrection.
 There were two texts, both show ing these extremes, which formed the basis of his sermon, the first being found in Matthew 21:S, relating the triumphal entry of Christ into Jeru- salem, amidst waving of palms and shouting of "hosannah" by the mul- titudes; the other text being found In Matthew 27:2s, on stripping of Christ by soldiers and placing crown of thorns on His head and other humiliating acts.
 Savior's Last Earthly Life
 Dr. Stuart, in opening his sermon reviewed the last few weeks of the life of the Savior, declaring them to be extremely interesting to him. stressing especially Christs visit to his old home and friends in Nazareth and Gallilee to bid them good bye, subsequently coming back to the east sue or JOruan ana there meeting the encamped people of Gallillee on their way to the passover feast celebration at Jerusalem. The various miracles, His stay at Bethany at the home of Mary and Martha and Lazarus were also touched upon. all eliminating in that scene on Palm Sunday, followed by Christ's arrest Friday morning after an agonizing night. and His crucifixion.
 Highest HiIi-Lowest Valleys Here you have pictured the high est hill and the lowest valley. the greatest triumph and most bitter humiliation" said Dr. Stuart. Bun van in his great book places the valley of humility between the city beautiful and the hill of difficulties. Angels are some times found in that valley says Bunyan. What won derful picture that is. There is the scene at Mary and Martha's house, when the woman comes with the alabaster box and pours it out on His feet and fills the house with it's | perfume and right out of that house and from that feast goes Judas to sell ] his Master for 80 pieces of silver. Here we see treachery almost in close touch with true friendship. 1 Then comes the throng With palms l and shouting 'hosannah" And it is said that as Christ rode. into the city all Jerusalem svas stirred. and He rods on and drove the money changers out of the temple and preached and | worked miracles, making this the greatest week of His life.

 .et your body become rigid"

Let your body become rigid.
 These words. delivered by radio in 8 ringing, commanding tone, which came all the way from the South Highlands yesterday down to the Chamber of Commerce building by wireless, were absolutely magical in their effect.
 Little Miss Beatrice Kyle. woman who had just been hypnotized by radio, strengthened stiffly into a pink. immoyable mass.
 "Ahl"
 gasp ran over the audience as her body was held high, and men, women and little children surged and pushed forward and almost fought their way to see.
 Every muscle was taut.
 Let your body become rigid"
 The lady was unconscious of hear ing that sentence. She had already passed beyond the preliminary stage of the game. But her inner mind heard and obeyed
 The thing was a thriller, and the enormous crowds which watched the stunt from the very beginning to ! the close, when the lady was placed in an ambulance and taken to the most conspicuous of all the Louis Saks show windows, to sleep till this afternoon, did not fail to express their amazement.
 It was a most striking demonstra- tion to the citizenship of the town of how far. science is advacing, and yet how hypnotism is keeping pace with 1t.
 The Age Herald, as well as the Trianon theatre, which put on the wonder show, was delighted that everything was such success, and feather belongs right in the hat of the Matthews Electric company and Donald Beatty, their radio operator There was no hitch from beginning to end.
 Worried Bit
 However, the hypnotist, who Is the great Vishnu, is a bit anxious over the awakening today. While hypno- tizing a person across radio Is diff Hcult feat enough, that of waking a. subject by radio is by far the more arduous task, he said. And that mo- body but himself should be held re- sponsibie if any unfortunate conse- quences might ensue, the hypnotist yesterday formally released from re- sponsibility all companies or persons
