MORMON EIDER IS FINED S5AHD COSTS

Echo of Disturbance At Central Presbyterian Church Here—Plant for Big Rally Here.

Lewis G. Bis worth, the Mormon elder •who was found guilty of disturbing: a meeting at the Central Presbyterian church, by a. Jury in City Court last Tuesday was called before Judge t-:afer Friday morning and fined $5 and costs in accordance with the verdict of the jury hearing the case. Elsworth immediately filed an appeal bond and the case was taken to Circuit Court. Elsworth placed a $100 Liberty bend in the hands of City Clerk George Fears as surety for his appearance in Circuit Court, and announced that the case would be carried to the highest eourt in the United States before the lino of 15 would be paid.

It was also anncunoed Friday morning that a hall in the city had been rented and that four mcetiivgs had been arranged for, when the exposure uf Mormonism, made by A. C. Latimer, .recently would be answered. VVilford "?. "Wood, one of the high Mormon officials, arrived in the city during the close of the second trial, and is taking ».u active part in the fight. It was announced that he would be one of the ^speakers at the meetings. Mr. Wood Wald that special ai-rangements would lbs made for the cariug for of the Mormons -who would come Into {Terre

Haute from all over the middle west during the meetings. J. Frank Pickering, who took an active part in the recent court actions, is in Chicago arranging the program for the convention to be held here. Before leaving, Mr. Pickering said that whenever a meeting was held by the Mormons threats of violence were often received, but that he expected little or no trouble here. The dates set for the meetings were announoed as May 6 and 13 and the Swope Block hall has been leased for the two occasions.

Members of various local organizations are protesting the holdfng of the meetings, and it is expected that an attempt will be made to have the authorltles stop the lectures. The city is being flooded with Mormon literature, 'and at least 60 elders have been sent here from other cities.

Dr. Wood's statement from New York regarding the practice of polyrsmy has been prepared by Wilford C1 Wood. The article is as follows:

In answer to the article "Polygamy for the World," the Mormons emphatically declare that they are not interested or in sympathy with any such a campaign. They challenge any one to prove that polygamy Is either ,'preached or practiced by any of their members. Polygamy, in the eyes of all, la Immorality, and. If the statements made by Billfe Kunday are true, that weighty per cent of the men and ninety per cent of the women are Immoral, or are suffering from immoral effects, then something- else besides Mormonism Is to blame for the present conditlons that exist today. There was never more than four per cent of the |Mormon people who had more than SIom wife. At that time U'ah was a •^part of Mexico and It was not against ^he law to practice polyg-nniy. If the government stopped the Mormons from practicing polyg-amy, we ask all fair minded people why they didn't ootitlnue and clean up all the cities In the United States and do as good

Job as they did in Utah. The Mormon church, itself enaoted a law prohibiting the practice of polygamy and from that day to this if a man marries more than ooe wife he Is cast from the ehurch.

The Mormon* ar« loyal and true Americans and each lndivldrtal has a right to know what Utah has done by comparing- her with all other states In the union, and see where she stands according to the reports of the government.

out to promote Mormonism durng past year. He failed to mentlen hl» salary, which might have exceeded the entire amount spent by the Mormon church. He refers to the tithe pavers of the Mormon churchy who follow the teachings of Christ the New Testament, and Rive one-tenth of their income to the churoh as a tithing instead of being embarrassed hy havlng a oollection box parsed In front of them each Sunday to frighten the l«nnles out of them. The Mormons give willingly and freely and In turn the Iord blesses them so that In all parts of the world eighty per cent of them own their own homes.

Dr. Mills refers to the Mormon templfl, and says, they are now ht'.ihlin tliem out of TTtah. With the Interest he has taken In the subject and the position he now occupies, which would naturally cause him to get the facts of the case, wo are sorry that he has been so misinformed and does not know that the first two temples built by the Mormon people were not built in Utah, and that the temples \irw being built in Hawaii and Canada, are being built In accordance to the laws of the government and amongst people who are civilized enough to know what the Mormons are doing there. Things that are close by effect us the most but tliinKs that are a Ions? wav off seem to toother some people the most.

It is time that Mormonism Is spreading throughout America and the Mormons are surprised that Dr. Mills and others are so alarmed at its growth, when all Americans are born with good judgment and minds of their own and are responsible for what they do insiead of Mr. Mills being responsible for them. The meaning of the word "Mormon," Is "More Good" and UmU is why they are accepting it.

He replied that he could unless killed and he did.

Father Farrell went to the assistance of a battery when four ^of the American gunners were killed, carried up ammunition and helped the crew to keep the gun working. He was wounded slightly.

Raymond Connor, of New Haven, a sanitary squad runner, was another hero. He was one of the eight men captured by the Germans who escaped and went to Seichejjrey.

"It 1s very curious," I replied, conscious of the rush of Mood to my face. "I should say it was very simple," suggested Tommy, with his customary wisdom. "Mr. Cordon, as you feared

The physicians will give him all the medical attention that a man could want, and Mariam, his only near relative, will be by his side. He will have everything that he wants."

Tommy Apleby was looking at me keenly. "You know, Roxane," he began, "I can't help but think that Mr. Gordon really was calling for you as well .as for Mariam.
