TATE COEFESSES
He. HELPED STAY
JOE Harrington
Illicit Love Led to Poisoning of
Harrington By Wife Who
Now Is Mrs. Tate

MARION, Ills, Sept. 29.-Joseph
Harrington, a quiet, mild-mannered
and hard-looking coal miner, stood
in the way of the romance between
his wife, Ruby, and Robert Tate,
a fellow-miner, so the lovers poison
ed him with arsenic, Tate declared
in a confession made Sunday to
Sheriff Galligan.
1--WE had talked over putting Joey
out of the way for a long time, "
Tate said. ''He was a friend of
mine and I hated to do it, but l
had to have her and she had to
have me. I bought arsenic and
after talking to- Ruby I decided l
would put it in his lunch while
we we're working. l poisoned his
lunch one day and he just got sick.
'Ruby finished up the job. She
put poison in his lunch later, when
he didn't die, / put poison in some
fruit and told her to put it in but
termilk. He was sick then and this
dose finished him up"
Tates' confession came after he
had been grilled almost continuous
iy Saturday, Saturday night and
most of Sunday. Early Sunday he
had shown indications of breaking
down and had admitted that he
knew in advance that Mrs. Her
rington intended to poison her hus-
band so that she might marry him.
But he insisted that he had no con-
nection with herrington's death 9th
er than this.
"Now Tate, we know Harrington
died from poison. His stomach
shows it," the sheriff said. "Why
don't you tell the truth? Maybe
you and Ruby didn't know what you
were doing"
cts true, but l don't know how
you found it out. l started it and
she finished the job. She wanted
to be married and Harrington was
in the way"
Stenogrpahic notes had been tax
en- of Tate's statements and later
formal confession was prepared,
which he read and signed.

NllSll llS odiu
On discussing the article by Ru
pert Hughes, | shall deal with some
general facts which are essential 10
thorough understanding of the
questions raised by him. Next Sun
day shall continue the discussion
and explain to you the parts left
unmentioned today.
"Mr. Hughes has made two very
serious mistakes, which others be-
fore him have made. The first mis-.
take that he has made is trying TO
find God through the physical and
mental faculties. The second is a
natural result of the first, which
is to reject all spiritual truths be-
cause he cannot understand them
This is what he has done in has
article.
"The mind of man is finite. God
is infinite. Does it stand to reason
that a finite mind could grasp aad
thoroughly understand the workings
of an infinite mind? There is far
greater difference between the
mind Of man and the mind of God
than there is between that of an
infant and a great mathematician
Is it strange that the infant canno.
grasp the problems propounded b.
the great mathematician? Why Ger
tainly not. Then why should we ex,
pecJ to thoroughly fathom the mys-
teries Of God? Mr.. Hughes and och
ers before him would eliminate the
mystery of religion and make it a
mere intellectual system of pnv-
losophy.
Because he cannot eliminate the
mystery and thoroughly grasp every
detail, he will reject the whole of
Christianity. In fact the logical con
clusion to be reached from his pro-
cess of reasoning, is to reject every
thing that he does not understand
We not think that he is s.
unreasonable, as to reject every
thing in the material world
that he does not understand.
Then why should he assume this at
titude only in matters Of religion?
There is a mystery connected
with everything material object
about you. You are sitting today
on pews, made from lumber cut nut
Of trees that grew in a forest some
where. Do you understand all the

GENEVA. Switzerland, Sept. 20.
(By The A. P. IA great interna-
tional problem, it is believed, has
been raised through the Japanese
demand at the League of Nations
discussions for disarmament to the
proposed protocol of arbitration and
security.
So serious was the situation judg-
ed to be that France suggested that
the Japanese amendment, which
concerns the Interpretation of state
rights as related to arbitration and
which everybody understands as
referring to the immigration pro
gram, should be considered calmly
by a subcommittee. A motion by
the French to this end was accepted
by the arbitration commission.
Japan offered her amendment aft
er day of fruitless private con
ferences. Viscount Ishii consulted
with NJ. BRAND, M. Loucheur, Sir
Cecil Hurst and other leaders, bit
no one was able to find a formula
acceptable to the Japanese.
At $3.50 last night, when the ar
bitration committee virtually had
completed its revision of the proto-
col text M. Adachi arose and formal
ly moved the suppression of the
clause in the protocol draft which
proclaims an aggressor state any
country refusing to abide by the de-
cision of the world court of justice.
The clause in question refers to dis
pute which one party declares to
have arisen over a subject which ex-
clusively is within its domestic juris-
diction. If the world court accepts
this view and rules that the matter
is in fact domestic in nature, and
the other, the opposing state, re.
fuses to accept the decision and
goes to war, it then becomes an ag-
gressor and will be punished as
such by the other members of the
league.
M. Adachi wanted this clause
stricken out altogether, asserting
that it involved great injustice to
the plaintiff state and shut off all
avenues of peaceful settlement.
Reading his statement dramatically
and slowly amidst tense, almost pain
full silence, the Japanese delegate
accused the league of nations of ret
fulfilling its high mission, because
it was proclaimed a state criminal
without offering any solution of the
difficulty.
