ILLINOIS VOTE TOMORROW TO TEST NEW DEAL Interest Keen, Heavy Vote Forecast; Election Worker Slain. By 1 nitrrl Pri gg CHICAGO, April 9.—lllinois voter* will ballot tomorrow in a primary election which may produce the first indications at the polls cl how the public looks upon the national recovery program and the Democratic administration which it swept into power eighteen months ago. Except for several local contests of spirited rivalry, the principal fights will be to select candidates for the state’s twenty-seven seats in the house of representatives. In the presidential year upheaval, when this normally Republican state sent nineteen Democratis to the house, the Democrats showed their best strength in history. If they can hold this showing, the balloting will be looked upon as an indorsement for the present administration. Complicating the selection of the Illinois primary as a wind-straw was the fact that Democratic candidate* are not widely opposed Sitting members, however, have, pledged their continued support to j the Roosevelt program and their i opponents have not expressed any great opposition to it. National Issues Soft Pedaled Even the Republicans have softpedaled national issues in their j private fights. There has been some j “radicalism” charges against the Democrats. They have conducted extensive campaigns, however, on local issues, with their strongest campaigns coming in Cook county and Chicago, where in November they will have to pit their strength against the powerful Nash-Kelly machine. A pre-election slaying of a political worker in the notorious “bloody twentieth” ward in Chicago cost an independent Democratic candidate the final night’s services of Joseph Rierno, 31, in his campaign for Democratic nomination in the seventeenth state senatorial district. The primary saw the first indications of a split in the Republican ranks by which, apparently, it was hoped to win back so-called liberals into the party fold. A complete slate of progressive Republicans was entered against the regulars. The progressives’ aims were best revealed in their use of a letter from Interior Secretary Harold L. Ickes against the nomination campaign of Congressman James Simpson, Jr., in the exclusive Tenth congressional district. Ickes Figures in Fight The progressives sought to attach a “fox hunting,” "Insull school of thought” label on Mr. Simpson in behalf of Ralph E. Church. Mr. Simpson called Mr. Church and the progressives “Socialists.” Optimistic party leaders predicted that nearly 2.000,000 voters will participate in the primary. In the 1932 primary with a hot three-man contest for governor the Democrats polled a total vote of 816.733 to 1,813,245 for the Republicans. Any similar showing in the election would be considered an indication that former Republicans who jumped into the Democratic ranks w r ere to stay. Previous to the 1932 primary. Democratic primary totals have been approximately 300.000, with more than half of that from Cook county. In 1932 Cook county contributed 500.000 primary votes to 300.000 downstate. GROSS INCOME TAX nc PEAL TO BE ASKED City Case Owners to Hear Plea of State Retailers Head. Repeal of the state gross income tax because of its effect on the retail business, and proposal of a tax program which may be substituted, will be advocated by L. F. Shuttleworth. executive secretary of the Associated Retailers of Indiana, at a meeting tonight of Indianapolis chapter of the Indiana State Restaurant Association in the Lockerbie. Matters relative to the code of restaurant operators and creation of a national code authority for the industry will be discussed. Representatives of several state supply houses will speak. SIMILARITY OF NAMES MAY CONFUSE VOTERS Political Maneuvering Seen in Listing Senate Candidates. Persons familiar with politics, who have been discussing the difficulty voters will encounter handling a huge ballot containing hundreds of names, smiled today at the perplexing similarity of names of two candidates for one office, labeled by some as clever political maneuvering. Joseph P. O'Mahony. 2617 North Alabama street, former newspaper man. filed for the Republican state senator nomination, while Joseph F. O'Mahoney, 1715 North Delaware street, restaurant proprietor, filed for the same office on the Democratic ticket. TRAVELERS PICK SLATE S. D. McClain. Marion. Elected President of Society. S. D.

Tbi* is the fourteenth of a scries of histories of Marion County Masonic blue lodges which has been appearing each Monday In The Times. Next week a history of Oriental lodge will be pub lished. LATE in 1887, the minutes fail to record the exact date, a small group of Master Masons met in the old Odd Fellow building on Virginia avenue for the purpose of founding anew blue lodge, an organization which was to become Logan lodge, No. 575, Free and Accepted Masons. Chairman and secretary at the meeting were, respectively, George T. Anderson and John R. Clinton. Dispensation for formation of Logan lodge was granted by Mortimer Nye, then grand master of the grand lodge of Indiana, on Jan. 27, 1888, with Mr. Anderson as worshipful master; Hiram D. Harris, senior warden, and William E. Jeffries, junior warden. Signers of the petition for dispensation, who also, because of the unusual speed with which charter was granted, constitute the entire list of charter members, w r ere Mr. Anderson, Mr. Harris, Mr. Jeffries, Mr. Clinton, Hiram Seibert, Ralph E. Kennington, William H. Tucker, George F. Phillips, Richard S. Colter, Austin Rowe, Richard Williams, Joseph L. Fisher, Robert H. Bigger, Leander A. Fulmer, John A. Porter, William N.

From its founding to Jan. 1, 1901, Logan conferred degrees on 138 candidates and affiliated fortyeight new members giving it on that date a membership of 186 Master Masons. Among there was one w’ho had been initiated and passed by Manchester lodge and on WTitten consent and waiver of that lodge had received the Master Mason degree from Logan lodge. a tt tt FIRST home of the lodge was the old Masonic temple w’hich then stood on the former site of the

Grandmother of Slain Lindbergh Baby Writes Gripping, Pointed Poem.
By United Pregg NEW YORK, April 9.—Friends of Mrs. Dwight W. Morrow saw today in her brief poem, “Hostage,” published in the current issue of the Atlantic Monthly, a veiled reference to the anguish of the Lindbergh family over the kidnaping of her infant grandson, Charles A. Lindbergh Jr.
DISCHARGED FIREMAN RETURNSJTO DUTY Safety Board Obeys Court in Harrison Case. M. T. Harrison, city fireman, is back at work at engine house No. 9 after Circuit Judge Earl Cox ordered the safety board to reinstate him, Charles R. Myers, board president, said today. Harrison was dismissed from the fire department in September for conduct unbecoming an officer. He was charged with turning in false fire alarms while off duty. The safety board's decision was reversed by Judge Cox several weeks ago. BANDITS ROB STORE AND FILLING STATION L Holdup Men Get Sl6 at Gas Station. S'lO at Grocery. Police today were searching for bandits who held up and robbed the Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company store at 2172 Madison avenue, and a Standard Oil filling station at Twenty-second and Meridian streets.

D. Sommers & Cos. store at Washington street and Capitol avenue. From there Logan moved in 1902 to the Labor temple on Pearl street between Meridian and Illinois streets. With the other bodies now occupying that building, Logan moved in 1909 to its quarters at the present Masonic temple, North and Illinois streets. The course of the life of Logan lodge has pursued such an even tenor that it is most difficult to select individual events as notable in the history of an organization which has not been harassed in any manner. However, Logan’s custom of making an annual pilgrimage to the Masonic home at Franklin is W'orthy of mention. Early each fall the lodge members go In a group to the institution. There a program is offered by the lodge for the entertainment of both the old and the young w’ho make their home there. tt tt tt T OGAN achieved a membership of 1.000 in 1921 during the administration of Grover C. Ott as worshipful master. An' all-time high was reached in 1925, when the roster included 1,035 active members in good standing. Today the membership is 906. By special dispensation of the grand lodge of Indiana, Logan conferred all three degrees on a candidate in one day during the late months of 1917. when the United States was at war, and a petitioner of the lodge, who was already in the army, was destined to leave for duty in France almost immediately. Older members of the group still recall the event as one which was almost as difficult for them as it was for the candidate. An organization within Logan lodge is the Acacia Club, which extends aid to the dependents of members upon their death. President of the society is John Worley, foreman of The Times’ engraving department. Logan boasts what is probably the best past masters’ attendance of any lodge in the Indianapolis juris-
The verse, one of three by Mrs. Morrow in the magazine, was believed to have been the grandmother's first public reference to the tragedy. It read: “He who has given A hostage knows All ways of dying Terror shows: He feels the cord About his throat. The knife blade striking through his coat, Against his breast Bright bullets spit: He falls forgotten In a pit. Slowly he starves; Swiftly a wave Carries his body To the grave. All this is naught To waking when He dreams the hostage Safe again. City Man Shot in Hand George W.

BANDITS KIDNAP TWO CITY BOYS
$350 Accordion Is Taken
From Widely-Known Young Musician.
While schoolmates at Cathedral high school crowded around today, Tommy Moriarty, 17, widely known accordion player, tells the saga of the ill-mannered bandits and a shivering automobile ride Saturday night. Tommy, together wjth his brother, Francis, 12, were sitting in their father's parked automobile at the 200 block. Virginia avenue, when two men approached the car, wildly brandished guns and shouted, “Keep still and we won’t hurt you.” Francis, resenting the sudden intrusion, made an attempt to make a hasty exit via the rear door, but he was seized and held squirming by the collar. Pinning the boys in the car. the gunmen drove out the Bluff road searching the boys for money. They robbed Tommy of a wrist watch given him as a present, $4 and his accordion, valued at $350. Francis was the unruly victim as far as the bandits were concerned. As they attempted to take a watch from him. he began shouting in a lusty voice. In shaken tones one of the bandits said, “Keep still or I’ll sock you.” Nevertheless, Francis kept his watch. The car was driven to Martinsville and the boys released south of there.

Members of the councils will be chosen by Washington authorities and wall serve without pay. Each council will consist of seven or eight members with an effort being made to select representatives actively ininterested in consumer problems.
3 CRUSHED BY AVALANCHE ON MOUNTAIN ROAD New York Highway Board Probes Storm King Trail Tragedy. By United rrrgg WEST POINT. N. Y„ April 9. The state highway commission started an investigation today into the origin of an avalanche that thundered down the precipitous slope of Storm King mountain and smashed against three automobiles on the congested Storm King highway, killing three persons and injuring three others. The apparent causes of the unusual accident were the late winter frosts and rains loosening the more exposed portions of the sheer face of the mountain rising hundreds of feet above the road. A three-ton section tore free yesterday and rumbled down the slope so swiftly that none of the trapped motorists had time to act. Hurtling boulders crushed their vehicles like eggshells. The largest boulder, a fragment weighing more than a ton, bounded on top of a coach in which Otto Seilheimer, East Patrson, N. J., was driving his family along the famous scenic highway carved out of the peaks above the Hudson. His wife, Louise, and his son Eugene, 5, were killed almost instantly. Mr. Seilheimer suffered a broken left shoulder and his 18-months-old daughter Geraldine a possible fracture of the jaw. Another rock tore through the roof on an automobile about 100 feet behind the Seilheimers, killing Lambert H. Shaknis of Brooklyn and injuring his wife. An almost miraculous escape from death was recorded by Dr. F. E. Lehman and Miss Mary Wolf, who were in the third car destroyed. A huge bolder weighing 1,000 pounds missed their heads by inches, flattening the rear half of their car, YOUNG WOMAN DIESjNCRASH Auto Accident Injuries Are Fatal to North Side Resident.

CHAPTER XIII The Religion of the Future I AM afraid that Calvin would be forced to conclude that the soul of Protestantism had left the church and gone into capitalism and that there it had become distorted by strange theories from the field of economics and biology. Searching for intensity of belief, Calvin might find it among capitalists, Fascists or Communists, all of whom are his spiritual descendants. Seeing all of this, Calvin would doubtless not weep but would observe, “Lord, thou hast foreordained all of this for the enhancement of thine ultimate glory.”
The truly dismaying thing, of course, is the lukewarmness, the wishy-washy goody-goodiness, the infantile irrelevancy of the church itself. Millions of people still bring joy to their individual souls by attending a church service. I know that there are millions of Catholics and high church Episcopalians alone who obtain extraordinary comfort from the celebration in due form of the Holy Eucharist, the very thing which John Knox felt was more dangerous than ten thousand armed men. Millions of other church going people find rest for their souls in attending church service but here all too often, there tends to arise a disputatious attitude concerning ethical matters discussed in the sermon and more appropriate to a week-day lecture course than to a Sabbath worship in the house of God. You are all acquainted with fine, cultured, tolerant people who reserve their sharp practices and grabbing tendencies for the hard life of thg business world and who are delightful and enjoyable companions in the social life of evenings and holidays. They yearn for a more satisfactory business existence, but do not know exactly how to bring it to pass. tt tt a MOST of them, unless they are only two or three generations removed from saintly ancestors, are decidedly materialistic and skeptical about the existence of God, or a future life. They want their children to go to Sunday school and learn the Ten Commandments and the salient facts of the Bible, but they themselves are convinced of the fundamental truth of evolution, the struggle for existence and laissez faire, dog-eat-dog economics. They know that they have to “get” if they are not to be “gotten,” and while they don’t like this kind of business any better than you or I, they don’t know of anything practical to do about it. Therefore, the most decent of the well-educated, materialists accept some form of ‘“Lippmannesque” humanism as the way of making the best of a bad job. Now, humanists are, as a rule, superficially agnostic yet resolutely practice the good life as they see it, and do their best to bring that life to pass for other people as well. Many of them get considerable pleasure out of making fun df the sacred superstitions of the preceding generation and are doubtless a healthful influence in many ways because they puncture the hypocritical pretensions of people who dully profess “religion” and sharply practice business. In ordinary everday life, humanists are interesting, amusing, stimulating and humble. People of this sort always will be very useful in keeping “religious” people from taking themselves permaturely seriously. The religion of the future must affirm in unmistakable terms the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, not merely by way of giving a mystical glow to the individual worshiper, but also by way of bringing the kingdom of heaven on earth. The church of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries sought to bring this about in a very definite way by theocracy, by a way of life where economic activity was subordinate to a religious consciousness. Over large areas of Europe. tremendous efforts were made to fix just prices, fair wages, right conditions of labor, all with the ideea of building a social state fit to glorify God. a tt n DURING this period. Europe searched its mind and heart as never before or since. Some of the manifestations of that search were embodied in beautiful cathedrals. The great effort of the twelfth and thirteen centuries failed, I

suppose, because the attempt was made to cramp the human spirit unduly in defiance of certain growth principles. Certain classes were probably treated unjustly but it is rather astonishing that a degree of moderate equilibrium could have been held for so long in view of the lack of knowledge of modern science and economics. Today we have an opportunity to repeat on a more vast and more just scale what was attempted in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. The physical tools for this social experimenting are already at hand. We now have vast systems of statistics dealing with prices and quantities and labor costs and ratios between productive power and consumptive power. We have record-keeping machines which enable us to do the bookkeeping of a continent in case such a thing seems to be desirable. We have scientific and economic insight into certain relationships extending over the whole world which no people ever had before. Because of this, it is easily possible to construct the machinery of anew deal, provided the people really want it and are willing to experiment continually in the invention of new parts for the social machine >in the same spirit as a mechanic invents new parts in the perfecting of an automobile model.
