Jefferson, pastor of Broadway Tabernacle, New York, City writes a sermon to fathers- in which he says: “It's an extraordinary fact that so many American men should be willing to shirk their religious obligations. They do it habitually, while in the days of courtship they may be found in the church, but after the wedding day they attend church less frequently and by and by drop out altogether. This contitutes for many a woman hes first serious domestic problem. She does not know what her duty is She loves the church, and she «.lso loves her husband. If he prefers <o stay at home, she is likely to stay with him. In this way many a woman c- u cities her spiritual inclinations and sinks down into the indifference of a worldly life ”

HANDING IT HOT Attorney Ryan Says Prosecution of Mayor Bell is Case of Persecution AND REAL CONSPIRACY Along Side of Which One Charged Reads Like “Sermon on the Mount.” (By Willis S. Thompson.) Indianapolis, Sept. 14, —For two hours Monday afternoon the two hours concluding the day's proceedings Michael A. Ryan, of counsel for Joseph E. Bell, poured out to Judge Eichhorn ana the jury of twelve men one of the most scathing denunciations of a prosecution that was ever delivered in a court. It was the more scathing because of its absolute truthfulness and the fact that it is entirely proven on its very face. Mr. Ryan gave all the details of a conspiracy entered into by the owner of the Indianapolis News by Prosecutor Rucker, and by Joe Roach, with Bat Masterson as their associate and servant, to secure evidence with which to convict Thomas Taggart. Joseph E. Bell and Samuel V. Perrott of election conspiracy. He characterized the prosecution as the child of the unlawful cohabitation of the owner of the Indianapolis News. Joe Roach and Prosecutor Rucker. He told how these three had sent Bat Masterson to Chicago at the expense of Marion county to get together perjured evidence in the brothels of the city. How the owner of the Indianapolis News and Prosecutor Rucker had several criminal offenses against Masterson put out of the way so he might serve them in this capacity. Attorney Ryan told further of how Franklin and Worley of the prosecutor’s staff had gone to Chicago to as sist Masterson in his work of securing evidence. How they had held their meetings in the houses of harlots and how they had stayed both day and night in these resorts as the guests of harlots, sending the bills to Marion County and they were paid. How the pian “Masterson's school for perjury” were drilled in how to answer questions. How they were given pictures of Bell, Taggart, Fred Barrett and Sam Perrott and told how to describe them by weight and measure. How these lessons were repeated over and over. The “students" were given maps of the city of Indianapolis so they might tell on the stand where they went to vote and repeat in the Indianapolis Election. They were drilled to describe how they came to the Dennison hotel and were looked over in the lobby by Taggart and Barrett and approved. How they were sent to the democratic headquarters and there approved by Mayer Bell and told to out and repeat and come back and he would pay them for every time they voted. These men as Attorney Ryan followed them in his statement were taken from Chicago on the 18th of August under contract to be ipaid five dollars a day and all thefr expenses until the trial was over. They visited several places in the state, all told by Mr. Ryan, and finally stopped to camp at Rising Sun, where Bat Masterson, Worley and Franklin stayed with them part of the time. They had motor boats and other things to make life a pleasant. Wednesday of last week they came to Indianapolis and were shown the houses which were used as polling places on election day. The men had never before seen Indianapolls. Then they wanted to go to Chicago to “see some women" and they went. At the Morrison hotel on Friday last they were paid 33 a day to date the balance to be paid” when they come through. "While this court was in session last Wednesday selecting a jury", said Mr. Ryan”, this man Worley came in from this camp of perjurers to report to the higher ups at the prosecutors table. “This is conspiracy, gentlemen of the jury, beside which any election conspiracy ever hatched or charged, no matter how lurid the prosecutor might paint such election conspiracy with perjured evidence, would read like the sermon on the mount. “And this is the prosecutor who tells you how it pains him to have to do his duty." Mr. Ryan also told the jury that the day of the election last fall, when Mayor Bell sued the Indianapolis News for libel, that newspaper and Joe Roach got an affidavit from Bud Gibson that Joseph E. Bell had given him money with which to buy votes. That the owner of the News and Joe Roach had told Gibson the affidavit was to be used to stop Bell's libel
