severely criticizing those who have
said that Lincoln could never find a
church to worship in, asserted that
Lincoln was a man of great religious
faith and a regular church socr.
William Tyler Page, clerk Of the
House, compared Lincoln with Jesus

DENIES LINCOLN
HIT PROHIBITION
Speaker Refutes Views At.
tributed to Him by Anti
Dry Factions.

Two myths surrounding the public
life and acts Of Abraham Lincoln were
exploded by speakers last night at the
forty-fourth anniversary dinner of the
Military Order Of the Loyal Legion at
the New Willard Hotel.
Declaring that the entire thought
of the phrases attributed to Lincoln
on the subject of prohibition were far
from Lincolnesque, Capt. Sam w.
Small, commander Of the Naval and
Military Order of the Spanish Ameri-
can War, said the Civil War President
never uttered the words he is quoted
with saying regarding prohibition.
The saying attributed to Lincoln has
been used within the last few days by
advocates of moderation of the Vol
stead act, and according to Capt.
Small. originated in the mind of Col.
John B. Goodwin in 1887 in Atlanta.
where bitter political contest was
being waged over the prohibition ques-
ton.
The phrases attributed to Lincoln.
which he never uttered, Capt. Small
said, were as follows: Prohibition will
wt"k great injury to the cause Of tenn
perance. 1t is a species of intemper.
ance within itself. for it goes beyond
the bounds of reason, in that it at
temptS to control a mans appetite by
legislation and in making crimes out
of things that are not crimes. A pro-
hibitory law strikes blow at the very
principles on which our Government
was founded"

Capt. Small denied that the procla-
nation of emancipation was prompt
by a desire Of President Lincoln to
incite the negroes Of the South to re-

able lady who is president general Of

Throughout that time.
In March, 1901, Mrs. Eth Hertzberr
founded the club, which has the dis
tinction OF being the first music club
for women in Texas, for the purpose
Of studying good music and sharing
the talents possessed by the members.

other charter members were Mrs. Jo-
seph Goldman, Miss Nettie Newcomb
and Miss Swarthout. From the earn
est and loyal interest OF these seven
women has sprung the far reaching
and important accomplishments of the
Tuesday Musical club.
A chorus which since has become the
Chaminade Choral club, first directed
by Carl Hahn and now under the
leadership of David Griffin, was
formed in 1908. In the same year,
the club adopted the rose for its flow
err and white and green for its colors.
The quotation from Alexander Pope
was also chosen as the club motto;
"act well your part; therein all honor
lies" The first organ recital under
the auspices Of the club, now an an
nual activity, was presented in the
Travis Park church in 1904, and Ros-

Holland Bank Robbery
Defense to Plead Third
Degree Was Used
(By The Associated Press. }

BELTON, Texas, Jan. 19.-Four jur-
ors were selected at the morning session
of court in the trial Of Jess Sewell.
charged with the daylight holdup of
the First National Bank of Holland on
July Is, last year.
Questioning of veniremen by Noah
Roark of Dallas, counsel for Sewell, in
dicated that attempts would be made
to show that a confession was wrung
from Sewell by alleged third degree
|methods. Judge Roark also asked each
prospective juror If he is a member Of
the Ku Klux Klan. This is the first
time the Khan issue has been brought
into the Holland bank robbery case.
The First National bank of Holland
was robbed at noon, July Is, when three
masked bandits entered the bank, lock-
ed Cashier Logan McWhiny in the vault
and escaped with s1,S35 in currency and
securities. The men made their escape
after leaving their car and garb in the
Little River bottoms near Holland and
were charged with the robbery follow
ing raids in Denton county several
months later.
