STRATON OUT TO WHIP DEVIL Launches Two-Month Crusade for Fundamentalism. Bu United Press NEW YORK, June 27.—Dr. John Roach Straton, Baptist fundamentalist pastor, prepared today for a two months’ joust with modernists, the devil, members of his flock and certain New York editors. Uldine Utley, 15-year-old evangelist of the Glad Tidings (Pentecostal) Tabernacle here and a protege of Mrs. Ainree Semple McPherson, presumably will be a weapon in Dr. Straton’s campaign. In a sermon last night in which he explained “why I am opposed to pentecostalism,” Dr. Straton suggested that Miss Utley be the “little child” referred to in the Bible. Members of the congregation exclaimed, “praise the Lord!” Churches of every denomination would unite in a universal crusade for “world fundamentalism union,” under the program announced by Dr. Straton. One sermon during the campaign will be devoted to scolding the members of the Calvary Church congregation whose protests against alleged pentecostalism or hysterical religion in the church resulted last week in the resignation of five deacons. Another sermon, the pastor announced, will be directed at the “strange religious perversities of editors.” BOY DROWNED NEAR ‘OLD SWIMMIN’ HOLE' James Lewis Dies Despite Efforts of Brother and Playmate.

PROBATION LAW REDUCES CRIME Official Points to New Statute. Striking reduction in criminal out-A put of Indiana will result from recently enacted adult probation law, according to Charles L. Chute o£ New York, general secretary of National Probation Association, who is conducting examinations today and Tuesday for candidates for probation officers in Marion County. “Over 80 per cent of offenders putt under probation through well organized probation systems, finally make good,” declared Chute. “Tha opportunity to redeem themselves Is extended through this new law to adult as well as youthful offenders. This law will affect the young potential criminal in an indirect, but striking, way in that ill supervision of theijr parents thatt moved.” “The phase of the law whicH makes it compulsory for those in charge of probation work to taka examinations and prove their competency, is an excellent tiling, * added Chnute. "Heretofore, adulll probation work In Indiana has not been organized and was fearfully handicapped by having insufficient! officers. With the new law theso added officers, the whole system oC controlling crime probation Is sura to be wonderfully benefited.” Fifty-six candidates are taking both oral and written examination* at the Inc’iana Extension rooms, 3111 N. Pennsylvania St. From the list! of those who successfully pass this ' examination, five will be selected judges of circuit, criminal and municipal court for petitions at a sal-4 ary not to exceed $2,500. ™ Chute is aiding a committed composed of Homer W. Borst, Eugene C. Foster and Prof. H. E. Jt'nsen. A probation survey recently conducted under the auspices of the Indianapolis Bor Association ascertained outstanding needs of both adult and juvenile courts and will shortly be announced, Chnute said.
