Who wouldn't spend 20 hours in jail if he believed he would be recom pensed as does James .Johnson of Jackson township? Johnson filed suit for $4,000 damages in the circuit court, against Charles J. Ayres of Cambridge City for false imprison ment and malicious prosecution. Providing Johnson is successful in his suit, he will be reimbursed to the extent of $200 an hour for the time spent in the Cambridge City lockup. Such a case has never been docketed in this county and. many persons s anxiously awaiting , the result City and county officials scoff at the jus tice of Johnson's claims.

Cardinal Gibbons Says Total

Abstinence System Would Prove Failure in Cities Like Chicago. STATES HIS OPPOSITION TO DIVORCE JUDGMENTS Greatly Deplores Outbreak of Revolutionists in Spain and Chaos Into Which Nation Has Falien. Chicago, 111., Aug. 4. That the estab lishment of a total abstinence system in Chicago and other large cities would be impracticable and would put a premium on the illicit sale of Intoxi cating drinks, was the opinion express ed today by Cardinal James Gibbons of the Roman church in America, and at a time when 15,000 Catholic total absti nence advocates are gathering here to report progress and to adopt measures for a further advancement of their cause, his observations are noteworthy. The Baltimore prelate is recognised one of the hearty supporters of the country wide total abstinence move ment. . "I am heartily in sympathy with the total abstinence movement," said the ' Cardinal. "It is a campaign of greai import and wide Influence, and I hope It will spread to the farthest corners of the nation. In the rural parts of the country and in the smaller towns and cities there is every sign of progress and a permanent foothold, which eventually must mean success and widespread prohibition. However much I am in favor of total abstinence . though. I fear that in the large cities like Chicago it would not prove feasible. The problem' is one which will V require much time and the best efforts of our legislators and statesmen. "I am convinced the total abstinence movement will continue to make1 head way. It is a cause worthy of the best there 13 in American citizenship." xurning nis attention to tne divorce question, Cardinal Gibbons said: 'it is pretty wen Known tnat I am uncompromisingly against " divorce as the arch enemy of the church and re ligion and as society's worst foe. am opposed to It, not merely as churchman, but also as a student of so ciety. It means the breaking up of homes and the wrecking of established institutions. Any one who has the right conception of religion and the sacredness of home ties can not do otherwise than oppose the severing of those ties." Cardinal Gibbons expressed his. dis approval of the revolutionary outbreak in Spain. "I greatly deplore," he said, "the ex cesses of the revolution and the lawlessness and chaos into which Spain as a nation has fallen. I have been much .shocked to hear of the acts of the revolutionists. They have gone beyond the bounds and should be suppressed as quickly as possible. Spain owes a stoppage of the carnage and sacrilege to herself and she must bring it to a speedy end if she is to retain the respect of other nations." . TO GIVE LAWN FETE A social will be given by St Jo seph's Benevolent Society of St Andrew's church, August 17 oh the church lawn for the purpose of rais ing money to defray the society's trip to Indianapolis in September. The society will go in a body to attend the state federation meeting of this organization. The Richmond City Band will furnish music, both at the social and also during the organization's visIt to Indianapolis.
