LOCAL CHURCH FURTHERS NEW ERA MOVEMENT Presbyterians in ‘Field Day’ Campaign Expect to Raise $14,500,000. MEETINGS BY OFFICIALS The church is not losing its hold on the masses of the people despite the impression from some sources that it is, according to Dr. William Hiram Foulkes, general secretary of the Presbyterian New Era Movement, who was in Indianapolis today attending the “field day” of the Presbyterian Church of Indianapolis and vicinity for the purpose of promoting the interests of the church and of the New Era Movement, which is conducting a campaign to raise $14,500,000 for the church. The “field day” meetings were held at the Second Presbyterian Church. A ministerial meeting was held this morning, general discussions this afternoon, and a mass meeting will be held tonight. The speakers will be Dr. Foulkes, Dr. H. C. Swearinger, moderator of the church in the United States; Mrs. Charles K. Roys, general secretary of the women's foreign board; Dr. Edgar P- Hill, general secretary of the board of education; Dr. Cleland B. McAfee. McCormick Theological Seminary, and Miss Lucy H. Dawson, general secretary of the women's home missionary board. “While the church had many mistakes to its record, many, if not moat of them, are those which are incident to the path of a progressive movement which carries people out of their past achievements onward into better things,” Dr. Faulkes said in continuing his discussion of the hold of the church on the people. "It is natural that as they part company with long cherished practices and sometimes even with religious ideas, there should be 6ome confusion and some blundering. “Then, too, during the war days the church was lampooned by a group of critics who sometimes challenged it with having failed utterly, because it did not prevent the war and, on the other hand, because its influence was so far reaching that people were not free to respond to the actual necessities of the day. “The pity of the criticism is that so much of it came from the sons of the church itself. Stone-throwing from those who have not known the spirit and program of the church, while hard to bear, is not serious. It la when the sons of the church themselves become hostile that there is real distress. “It is noteworthy, however, that even during those critical days the church was at the center of every great moral achievement. Whether it was the saving of food, the sale of Liberty bonds and war saving stamps, the building up of the morale of the men in the camps or the people at home, the church had Its supreme mission which it did not fail to fulfill. Its business was to set fire to the conscience of the Nation. The press, commercial and industrial organization, the university and scnool all contributed mightily, but it was the church largely that created what has aptly been termed 'a moral passion’ in the hearts of a free people that enabled the Nation to pass out' of the old day into the new with banners flying.” The business of the church in a community, according to Dr. Hill, is to “transform Maine street into Paradise boulevard.’ “Some pasters are blundering by exhausting their energies in all sorts of activities, whereas their chief task is to train people for religious leadership by bringing them into touch with Christ, giving them glimpses of eternal things, explaining to them the will of God. then sending them forth to ‘live the life’ and to change a Gopher prairie into a New Jerusalem.”

NOTORIOUS THUG ESCAPES FROM CHICAGO PRISON Tommy O’Connor, Who Was to Hang Thursday, Makes Good Get-a-Way. CHICAGO, Dec. 12.—Chicago police are engaged today in the greatest man hunt they have undertaken in years. They are seeking "Tommy” O'Connor, notorious gunman and convicted slayer, and two prisoners who escaped with him from the county jail Sunday. O'Coi-ror was to have been hanged Thursday w the murder of Detective Sergeant Patrice Edward Darrow and James Laporte, who escaped with him, were held on robbery chargee. Every policeman in the city, bearing the orders of Chief of Police Fitzmorris to “shoot and shoot to kill,” ii 6talking the streets. Searching Inquiry into the manner in which O'Connor and four o*her prisoners overpowered four guards lu the jail, ruled the prison for half an hour, and finally escaped, is under way. David Strauss, the guard who was first overpowered, and whose keys were taken by the prisoners, is being held. “Darling Dave” O’Connor, former Board of Trade broker, and brother of the escaped slayer, also is in custody. JAIL GUARD OVERPOWERED. During the time that O'Connor ruled the jail, guards were slugged and beaten and locked in cells. Dozens of murderers, burglars, safe blowers and other criminals were released from their cells aud roamed the corridors of the jail. A general jail delivery narrowly was averted. Reserve guards quelled a riot among the 9ti7 prisoners in the jail and drove back (o their cells more than one hundred who had reached the jail yard when the general alarm was sounded. Clarence Sponagel, h“ld on charges of robbery, who attempted to escape with O’Connor, Darrow and Laporte, broke both legs in attempting to leap from the wall which the others scaled in their dash for liberty. O'Connor’s break for liberty come while prisoners in his tier had been liberated from their cells for exercise in the "bull pen.” While Charles Moore, one of the guards, was downstairs, Sponagel. who weighs 250 pounds, approached the gate and seized Strauss, the other guard. O'Connor drew a revolver and took Strauss' keys. PRISONERS SCALE TWENTY-FOOT WALL. With the keys in their possession, O'Connor and his confederates opened cell doors, seized other guards, bound them and beat them and locked them in cells. They then made their way through the building to an elevator, descended to the basement, emerged through a basement door and scaled a twenty foot wall. Once out of the jail. O'Connor, Laporte and Darrow commandeered an automobile and Bed. Although a cordon of police Immediately was thrown out, no trace of the escaped prisoners has been found. Chief of Police Fitzmorris openly charged that the escape was a “frame up.” An effort is being made to learn

where O’Connor" obtained the revolver used in bis escape. Lack of clews showed that O’Connor had completely covered his escape. Rifle squads, who were rushed to the Fox Lake region, where Q.’Connor had hidden on another occasion, came back empty handed. Belief that a man and a girl In whose auto O'Connor was last seen, were involved in '.he plot was expressed when police received no word from them. IS DESPERATE CHARACTER. James C. “Ropes” O’Brien, noted criminal lawyer who was appointed by the court to defend O’Connor when he was charged with slaying Patrick O'Neill, detective,' stated that he believed O’Connor would never be taken alive. “He's the most desperate and intelligent man I ever defended,” said O’Brien. “He hates the police and has always claimed he was ‘framed’ for the O’Neil! murder.” O'Neill was shot and killed when police surrounded O’Connor at the home of a relative. He was sought on charge of murder of “Jimmie Cherin” a boyhood pal, whom it was alleged refused to do the bidding of the underworld leader. The gunman was captured in St. Paul after the murder of O’Neill. He was kidnaped and rushed to Chicago when an extradition fight loomed. He was speed-

What You Said Then When the boys were “over there” on the battle fields you didn't specify whether Jew or Gentile, Catholic or Protestant, black or white should minister to their needs. You sent your money over with this message, “Look After All Our Boys.” That is what you should now say to the Community Chest “Here's my money. Look after ALL of our unfortunate neighbor*!'' —for instance: The Dispensary Aid, where 6,916 sick persons were treated last year, draws the line neither on creed nor color. The Wheeler Rescue Mission gives lodging and meals to hundreds of unemployed men without a question about faith or raoe. Likewise do the Charity Organization Society, the Children’s Aid Association and others render service without discrimination. These are a part of the forty organizations v orking through the Community Chest that serve all the unfortunate of this city. Bea Good Neighbor Sibscribe to the Community Chest

SUPREME COURT ANNULS TAX LAW WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.—The Supreme Court of the United States held invalid the West Virginia law imposing State taxes on the transportation of crude oil and natural gas. - Validity of the West Virginia statute of 1919 levying the tax upon the privilege of transportation of crude oil or petroleum or natural gas, by means of pipe lines in the State, was challenged in the United States Supreme Court by the United Fuel Gas Company and the Eureka Pipe Line Company.
