 It was Dodge, according 10 state ments by Remus, for whom Mrs Re mus turned informtant and for whom Rcmus has insisted, she plotted 10 gain control of the Remus fortune, made during Remus' career as King of the Bootleggers" in Cin- cinnau. Remus now is held at Cin- cinnat charged with having slain he wife he said was on too friend ly terms with the one-time prohibi- ton agent.
 Dodge was found here at the home Of his father, Franklin j.. Dodge, Sr., a prominent Michigan attorney.
 "Remus was obsesscd with the idea that I had plotted with his wife to send him to prison and then steal his money" Dodge said. He offered his pals ss.ooo 10 kill me, Tipped on By Pals.
 "1 learned of the plot through one of Remus' confederates, who tipped me off because. he said, he consd dered me square shooter [ That was less than a year ago, in ! Cleveland.

MINISTER'S SUPPORT
 CATHOLICS HYMN BAN
(Contlnued from First Page)

Three prominent Protestant cler- gymen, although admitting that the hymn had been d church and funer- al fayorite for 80 years seemed unanimous in refusing to uphold the song as d vehicle of religious eX- precision.
 The Rev. J C. Massee. pastor of the Fremont Temple. said he would prefer never to have it sung in his church. He agreed with Cardinal O'Connell that it 'verged on the maudlin" He explained that he thought it's popularity was due in q large part to the fact that the music was particularly well adapted to singing by q quartet but he said it lacked "a religious message or meaning"
 Dr. A. Z. Conrad. pastor Of the fashionable Park street church, de- clared himself wholly in sympathy with the cardinal The song is twaddle," he said.
 But while Dr. J. Franklin knotts, pastor of the Daniel Dorchester Memorial church and a member of the relations committee of the New England Methodist conference would not go 10 quite such lengths v as the Catholic prclate in criticiz- ing the hymn. He asserted he would be glad 10 have fewer Of such songs in church and funeral use.
 TO me the Beautiful Isle Of Somewhere is meaningless he said. It is wholly vague and empty of spiritual thought and deserves ad- verse comment from the clergy, Cn- fortunately. as Cardinal O'Connell says, there are others.'
 The words Of the hymn were writ ten by Jessie B. Pounds, the music by J. $. Pearls. The hymn was copy righted in 1897.
