tors Denounce Liquor Traffic
Mls th community at large responsible for the tragedy at the Penneylvania freight house Friday night?" ,Thie question wis presented by Charles E. Tebbetts at the West Richmond '.Friends' church yesterday. "Three Uvea have gone out Into darkness, two women have been left widows with -two small children and the children have been made orphans. Two of the men went out quickly and one Is In worse darkness still awaiting his fate-in the county prison and ths public demanding his .speedy execution. "This brings home to us the serious 'question as to where lies the responsibility. All the reports given of he man at the homes where he lived say that he has a gentle disposition and 'that he Is easy to get along with. But 'suddenly he is transformed into a Iflend and startles the community. What eausee the change? ! "The community sustains and fos
ters an Institution whose business transforms men from peaceful cltlxens to demons and the serious question must come home to us as to whether the community Is not responsibls In an Indirect way."

RICHMOND CITIZENS BLAMED FOR MURDER
"The citizens of Richmond are responsible for the tragedy of Friday night bectuss they have permitted the liquor traffic to exist in their city," declared Rev. J. P. Chamness at the evening services of i the Fairview Methodist church. ' "The tragedy waa a product of the saloon." - Christian responsibility, he said, should remove such blots from a community.
WHISKEY CAUSED MUBDEB ! HABfM TELLS CHURCH
When Rev. L. E. Murray, prayed at the First Christian church yesterday morning that the loss of two policemen's lives Friday night might "serv to awaken Richmond to the evil of the liquor traffic," which he termed as being responsible for the trouble. There-, waa a response of "a-men" from all men present.

SOUNDS GALL
FOB VOTE OH SALOONS
' "Whiskey is responsible for the crime of Friday night," said Rev. Harry C. Harman, at the First J,lethodist church yesterday evening. "The citizens of our fine old city should think long and hard, as to whether or not we can longer stand for the legalized taloon and the product of its buciness." Speaklns from a text in Proverbs, Wine is a mocker, strong drink is a trouble maker, and they who are dedelved by these are not wise," Dr. Jlarrnan declared against the saloon .to an audience which filled the church auditorium. ' ". The occurrence has placed a blot 'on the reputation of the city he declared. ' ' '. "Thl3 is not the first tragedy of Its kind, and It Will not be the last unless the citizens eliminate the Influences
and conditions which are clearly re
sponsible for the crime."
"The criminal Is either a moral degenerate who as such should not have
been furnished with liquor, or be is
weak minded, but modest working
man who, had be been sober would not have shot down the city's public servants."
CHURCH EXPRESSES REGREt OVER DEATH OF POLICE OFFICERS
Resolutions expressing regret at the
loss of Policemen Stephenson and Little and-pledging the Central Christian
church to renewed opposition to the liquor traffic were adopted by that
church yeasterday as follows: "Resolved, That the Tabernacle Christian church and Bible school express their deepest sympathy for the sorrowing wives and families of Pa
trolmen Little and. Stephenson in their recent" bereavement. . in the loss of their husbands and fathers while in the prosecution of their duty as offi
cers of peace, law and order of Rich-
Be it further resolved, That this
church and Bible School place Itself
on record as; enemies of the liquor traffic, under whose Influence this ter
rible tragedy has stained the fair
name of our city- and citizens. - That
we can upon ; every . person with va
spark of humanity and moral stamina
to arise and array themselves in solid
phalanx against this terrible foe of hu
manity and free our city of Its curse

MINISTERS TO ACT
"In the final analysis a certain elaaa of our citizens who permitted .the saloon to exist are responsible for the death' of. two fine men last Friday night," said Rev. U. 8. A. Bridge, at the Grace Methodist church Sunday morning- .: "The blame must rest especially ' upon those who hold the balance of power, members of some of our churches particularly, of whom we would expeot more than of the saloon keeper. If they had atood with the dry forces in the recent election, the crime would never have occurred. , "The death of two of our fine citizens, If it ' creates a wave of Indignation and drives the saloon from the city, will not have 'occurred in vain. It will be supreme sacrifice for the greatest good of aii." J : -: : ,.-:, -
Rev Mr. Bridge, stated that he believed If the anti-saloon forces would ImmediateJy attempt an election, the drys could easily secure a majority vote.
TAKE SPECIAL OFFERING.
Rev. F. A. Roell announced yesterday that $100 had been collected at the St Andrew's church for the annual Peter Pence collection which goes for the support of the pope.

BAPTISM OF FIRE STIMULATES CHURCH
. The baptism by fire was the term tifed by Rev. Francis A. Roell in describing the burning of St. Andrew's Catholic church 15 years ago at the sermon service of the church yesterday. He said that although the burning cf the old structure worked several hardships at the time, It has in some ways proved a blessing. The congregation has grown much since that time In numbers and spirit.
REV. SMALL
"I have never known a. more clearly cut proof of the evil of the . liquor
traffic than the tragedy of Saturday morning," said Timothy Nicholson, to
day.
Mr. Nicholson encouraged many ot
the pastors of Richmond churches to
make mention of the murder in their
sermons of yesterday. He stated to
day that he believed this to be an opportune moment for the anti-saloon
forces to strike a decisive blow.

1 A feeling that American relief sent .to the allied soldiers is meant as a charity" has caused some misunderstanding between the American and European relief committees. This de claration Is made today by Miss Carita Speneer, who haa Just returned "from the front where shs wi sent to
linspect the distribution of surgical
pressings.
Contmued From Page One. we do believe' in your courage in the face of danger, " ' . ASK GOOD CONDITIONS. But however, faithful may be those who patrol the beats, It is not within the realm of human possibilities that our protection shall be complete unless the citizens of the city establish suc.hconditioh of 'safety as wilr reduce the hazard to life and property to the minimum, The safety of our community cannot be maintained by human devices, but it depends rather
on the regard the cfticens have for God and righteousness. SELFISHNESS MEANS DANGER. The psalmist lived a long time ago,
and there were many conditions in
his day that were different from those
of our day, but there was one condi
tion that has not changed and. never
will change so long as God lives, and
that is that the safety of the city is
assured only in so far as godliness prevails. Citizens, watchmen, and all are
in -danger when selfishness shapes our
policies. The business that Is responsible for the deaths of Elmer Stephenson and Mort Little is a business that Richmond has said that it wants. A bullet has snipped the hair by which eur city has suspended above itself the sword Of Damocles, and that sword has fallen upon the heads of these two brave men. Personal liberty has reached ita logical conclusion. Henceforth when Richmond drinks from Its cup of personal liberty, let her remember that mingling with her drink are blood and tears. Dear friends our better Judgment tells us.that.the sacrifice Is too great. Whatever may be our personal desires, whatever may be for our material interests, does not the manhood In us tell us that the cost is too great? I have been asked by the family of Elmer Stephenson to speak en this occasion. My heart has been full ever since I learned of the tragedy which brought grief to that home. A fine, manly young man of whom family and friends and former associates were Justly proud. I have been in the home and felt the anguish that Is In the heart of that de voted wife, that almost worahiping mother, that loving sister and those strong men, fathers and brothers. I have seen those dear little tots who cannot realize that their father If gone, playing around In their-Innocence. And I have said to myself, what must be their consolation In this hour, There Is comfort In knowing that he waa good and kind at home. There Is comfort In knowing that he was a true and faithful officer, and that he died doing his duty. But dear friends, there is a stronger consolation than this,
and, that is that hops In Jesus Christ k
whom he learned to trust In his boy
