immiti in JAIL, BEPLQBE3 LftCK OFRELIEIQN JLrmer Bond Company Head Declares He Is Being Persecuted as Christ Was. !S .RRESTED FCR FRAUD V. H. Arnold Says Christianity Has No Place in Counting House of Today. By United Press NEW YORK, Dee. 27. —“The teachings of Christ, it would seem, have no place In thè counting: house today,” Victor H. Arnold, former president of thè Madison (Wis.) Bond Company, and more recently an evangelist here, declared today in his celi in Raymond St. JaiL Arnold was arrested yesterday at lils Bayside country estate, formerly training quarters of Freddie Welsh, English lightweight boxer. The charme was "wilfulìy scheming to defraud” in violaUon of Section 215 of penai code and of being a fugitive Bm justice. W RecUring himself thè victim of perpecution, “such as Christ and Paul usuffered.” thè former iìnancier took his arrest calmly. He insisted that his present misfortune had been brought about by thè “devil-try” of his enemies in Wisconsin and because of his efforts to shield stockholders in his now defunct company from financial loss. Through all his comment on thè case ran thè religious strain. He conducted a series of lectures on “Christianty” at thè town earlier this month. Invoivos Handling Funds The case against Arnold involved his handjing of funds of thè Madison Bond Company. Protesting not only his absolute innocence but that his every move in connection with thè cempany's affairs had been “inspired,” Arnold accused thè former vice president and seeretary-treasurer of thè concern with embczz’.ement. For “mother and thè girls” he regvetted thè incident. Otherwise, he admitted, thè “persecution” troubled him not at all. “Mother,” Mrs. Arnold, and four daughters were present when Deputy United States marshals went to his heme to arrest Arnold. Pushing in at thè front door they placed him under arrest and hurried him to Brooklyn without even permitting him to finish dinner. The Arnold home was gay with holly and mistletoe and littered with wrapplngs from Christmas gifts that had been fcrchanged thè day before as thè marordered Arnold to “put on a coat and come along.” This Is thè U. S. in 1922 “And this is not Moscow, Russia, but thè United States in 1922,” thè preacher of “simplifìed Christianity” eommented. When arraigned, and committed to jail in default of $25,000 bail, Arnold was asked if he had an attorney. “Well, I have asked thè attorney generai of thè United States to interest himself In thè case and have lald thè faets before him and President Harding,” Arnold told Commission McGoltric. He declared he had gìven every penny he had in thè world to help meet thè obligations of his bond coaipaiiy. now in thè hands of a receiver and that he and his famìly were living by selling jewelry and personal property. “When the faets come out, one of thè most amazing conspiracies ever framed agaiiìst arr individuai will be disclosed,” Arnold said. “I was accused of being insane. Naturally they thought me so, for I tried to introduce thè methods of Christ into business.” If he fails to obtain bail, Arnold will be given a preliminary hearing . Friday. He pleaded not guilty when larraigned.

To illustrate, thè leadership of Undeiwood in thè Sanate is considered to be fuUy as reactionary as that of Lodge.

Freud and Brill Advise Against An Only Child

By MAROARET ROBE NEW YORK, Dee. 27.—Alas, if you’ve an only child, it’s bound to tura out bad. Now "quality not quantity” is an exploded fad. At least that’s what our old friends Freud and Jung and Bill all say, foi they don't think an only child gets “better day by day.” When all is said and done they think an only child is spoiled, and by ita parente’ coddling, nature’s plana for it are foiled. It gets so much attention it is satiated quite with senso ofite importance and it soon becomes a blight. All only sons, they say, are worse than only daughters he, and this contention certatnly seeras plausible to me. For to be egotista supreme, thè males need little urge, since even in thè embryo they’re trembling on thè verge. But be that as it may, when up each little ego grows, it’s bound to get some wallops as out in thè world it goes and finds thè world does not regard ite intellect with awe, nor think it. quite thè genius that ’twas thought by Paw and Maw. Antagoniste it becomes against society. Psychoneurosis then results—sometimes insanity. It really seems an awful thing an only child to be. Why, Doctor Brill, neurologist, says tracing cases ho in instances 400 sound that really every one were eilher favorite chijdren or an only girl or son. Too much attention isn’t all thè evil parents do t’ward spoilinf? their sole offspring till he lives his days to rue. Discussing grownup problems and eontìding grownup cares makes premature prococity thè worst of bugabears. The lavishing of too much love by‘parents is a crime. Result —thè much-loved child will seldom marry when it’s time. If it’s a boy his •mother's love o’ershadows others so he’d jauhcr stay a bachelor. If It’s a girl, no beau can with her wellloved father ever favorably vie, and so she stays a spinster to thè day that she’s to die. But this is not thè worst of blows j thè onlv child will get, for Ilavelock j Ellis hands him quite thè most un- ; pleasant yet. This English soclologist investigated well ffom thè fourth century to now (lt’s really quite a speli) blographies of geniuses of course of British birth. One thousand geniuses and more I he closqly ran to earth, and sound j cf all these genluses thè vast ma- j jority were oldest or thè voungest sons of a big family. While . instances where only children ever { carne in view . among these many genluses were very mighty few. This dope anent thè only child T only did but glean from Ruth D.

Declares Open Shop Movement Is Beaten by Labor. By SAMUEL GOMPERS President American Federation of Labor Copiirii/ht , 192 2, by United Sews WASHINGTON, Dee. 27.—Most iraportant in thè labor hi story of 1922 is tne fact that thè year marked thè over-throw of thè union-hatiftg, destructive. so-called open shop movement, in which there were combined thè employer campaign to destroy wage levels and thè fight to establish compulsory labor by law. This movement has gone to thè Wall because of labor’s united front, ite intelligence and thè absolute rightness and soundness of its principles. It is to be hoped that during 1923 there may be a great development of cooperative reìations to workers and thè fullest posslble degree of production for employers and consumers. The year 1922 is significant and historic because of thè great contest that was waged by labor to preserve American standards, to preserve Amerjcan principles in thè law and to maintain thè right to organize and thè right to function in an organized capaci ty.
