Brewing IL Years.


The Barron duel had been
brewing for IL years. In June, 1907,
Commodore Barron, in command OF
the Chesapeake, one Of the first
American men-of-war, sailed from
Norfolk for the Mediterranean with
British prisoners aboard. The British
ship Leopard had been on guard and
met the Chesapeake at sea. With
most of his men undisciplined and his
decks encountered with stores, Bar
ron was forced to haul down his col
ors and allow the British officers to
board. This was one of the causes of
the war with Great Britain. A court
martial, of which Decatur was
member, suspended Barron from the
service for five years without pay.
Capt. Barron's suspension ended five
months before the outbreak of the
War of 1872 He was abroad. Deca-
tur and other officers of the United
States Navy considered Barron's fail
ure to at once return to this country
and offer his services as I'm unpar-
| donable sin. So, when Barron later
applied for readmission into the Navy,
he was opposed by Decatur, who was
then serving with Commodores Rod
gers and Porter as Navy Commits.

and the askance glances of his former

which Barron sought redress, con-

tur wrote to Barron that: "If we fight

Barron replied; IF you intened it as a
challenge, / accept"
On the fateful day Decatur stole
out of his home at daybreak, walked
to Capitol Hill, where he breakfasted
with his attendants, and then they
drove TO Bladensburg. The contest.

FIGHT ON LINDSEY
Tennessee 0ptimists, How
ever, Refuse to Cancel Lee
+ ture by Denver Judge.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, January 10
THE Knoxville Baptist Ministers
Association was considering further
action in its effort to prevent Judge
Ben B. Lindsey of Denver from speak
ing before the Optimist Club here next
April. In the meantime. Judge Lind
sey characterized the attempt as
'pish. tush and poppycock.
The ministerial association recently
passed resolutions asking the civic
club to withdraw an invitation which
has been extended to the jurist.
Articles Cause Objections.
The ministers based their objections
on a series of articles published in
magazine in which they allege Judge
Lindsey upholds and advocates free
love"
The Optimist Club refused to revoke
its invitation and announced that
Judge Lindsey would speak April
on whatever subject he pleases.
Judge Lindsey said:
so far as my speech in Knoxville
is concerned, the Baptist brethren
will need many more reinforcements
than l think they will be able to pus-
ter if they prevent by delivering it.
Denies Free Love Charge.
81 am not an advocate Of free love,
but do recognize the fact that mod
ern society is drifting more and more
toward it every day. am
seeking sensible and permanent cure
for an evil that no sane man or wom-
an will deny exists-and that is more
than the Baptist brethren of Tennes-
see have ever done.
THUS far they can lay claim only
to having made their State the laugh
fnp stock of the thinking man and
woman of the world. In fairness, l
must say that l do not believe all the
pastors of Tennessee hold the same
beliefs as the few who have befogged
the vision of a glorious commonwealth
with their bigotry.
Let the Baptist brethren grid on
their armor, for Ben Lindsey is com
ing back to the home of his boyhood.
and he is coming without a muzzle."
