PHILADELPHIA. Pa. July 5.-LPl
The spirit of the fathers of the re-
public was invoked BY President
Coolidge today in an address at the
Sesqui-centennial Exposition COM
memorating the one hundred and
fiftieth anniversary of the declara-
tion Of independence.
Referring to the declaration rs a
great spiritual document. whose
principles were the result of the re-
ligious teachings of the preceding
period, Mr.. Coolidge said the real
heart Of the American government
depended upon the heart Of the pe0-
pie and that il was from that source
that the nation must look for all
genuine reform.
"We live in an age Of science and
Of abounding accumulation Of ma
terial things" he said. "These did
not create our declaration. Our
declaration created them. Tie
things Of the spirit come first. Tn
less we cling 10 that. all our material
prosperity. overwhelming though it
may appear, will turn 10 a barren
sceptre in our grasp.
Must Revere Holy Things
''if we are to maintain the great
heritake which has been bequeathed

the fathers who created il We must
not sink into pagan materialism.
We must cultivate the reverence
which they had for the things that
are holy. We must follow the
spiritual and moral leadership which
they showed. We must keep re-
rlenished. that they may glow with
more compelling flame. the altar
fires before which they worshipped. Z

IN discussing the responsibility Of

 Calls Mrs. Hall Cruel
 The prosecutor pictured Mrs. Hall as q proud. cruel" woman who was aroused to jealousy, hate and rage" because she was about to lose her husband to another woman. He pointed out that she was older than her husband and that he was bought and paid for" and that, "of course she listened in over the tele- phone when this woman called"
 "This woman, look into her eyes if you want to know the truth, said Simpson pointing at Mrs. Hall.
 "She is so cold -blooded that she stops talking about the murder of her husband, 10 have photographers put out of the courtroom"
 He referred to the occasion when Mrs. Hall, while on the witness stand. spotted a phot ographer in the courtroom and spoke to Judge Parker. resulting in the photograph : CTS being elected,
 The prosecutor maintained that Mrs Hall and her brothers went to face the Rev. MT. Hall and Mrs. Mills without any intention of com hitting murder, but that a quarrel resulted from Mrs. Halls demand for an explanation of the letters, and in the ensuing struggle the couple were shot.
 Simpson avowed that the tele- phone call which Mrs. Mills made 10 the minister in the evening few hours before4th murder referred to q letter which Mrs. Mills had written 10 him and which he had not re- ceived. The prosecutor voiced the opinion that this letter had fallen in to the hands of Mrs. Hall. Explain ing 10 the jury that because of the importance of the case he would have to speak at length, Simpson said:
 Another Slam At Jury
