Pennsylvania remained the only
unbeaten and united team in the
East by winning from lafayette,
Alabama kept the lead in the South
by beating Mississippi and Cali

Illinois and Notre Dame are per
hans the greatest teams in the coun-

1t Would BE Thriller
Illinois seems to have a better of

of eastern and far western football
may be put to an adequate test.

yantageous if it could be accom-
plished.

Christian churches, Bishop Brewster
said: AT once we must see how re-
pugnant to this principle is that
ugly spirit of sectarian intolerance
which We see lifting its head in our
land, and noisily proclaiming itself,
with divers fantastic accompani-
ments, as the only true American
ism"
The report Of the diocesan council
showed that the diocese is confront
ed with O serious financial difficulty
because OF the non payment by the
aided parishes of their portion Of
the clerical stipend. The budget for
the coming year will be reduced
$f3, 900 from that of 1923.

NoUScldl W xNCilHCOCS OOuAhoAJ
Arson, May 2O-George Lewis. aged
80 years, was found dead at the
back door Of his home on Highland
Park about 6 o'clock this morning.
A .32 calibre revolver was found
clenched in his hand and the bullet
went through the right temple and
was located on the side of his head.
Lewis Taylor, Mrs. Taylor's brother.
who lives with them, arose just be-
fore six o'clock and upon opening the
back door discovered the body on the
piazza.
Deputy Sheriff George Walker was
called and he in turn called County
Attorney James Fl. Thorne of North
Arson and County Medical Examiner
DIR. w. G. Sawyer of Madison. After
an inquest it was pronounced a plain
case Of suicide.
About three o'clock in the after
noon yesterday Mrs. Lewis was sit
ting in the kitchen by the window
cleaning greens with her two chill
dren, Edward aged five and Roland,
aged four years. Someone opened
the door and upon looking up she
saw her husband. who had been in
Oakland for the past two weeks at
work. He drew a revolver and said,
II have a good mind to give it to
you now while I have you here"
Some words followed and he then
said, "Well. never mind. will get
you sooner or later; you will never
cross that road again without you
go to your grave"
Then he stopped over and kissed
the children and went out. He came
back twice after that but went away
again each time. 1t is supposed that
he came back early in the morning
and sat upon the steps waiting for
his wife to appear that he might
carry out his threat, but for some
reason shot himself instead.

mentioned, he leaves a mother, Mrs.
