PLACED ON TRIAL ! J. Frank Hanly Quotes Statistics in Speech at High School Auditorium Blames Drink For All Evils. The second gun in the campaign to etamp out the liquor traffic In St. Jo'i!i county" wan fired yesterday afternoon in South Bend by J. Frank Hanly, fx-povprnor of Indiana. It v.aa estimated that l.bOO people again tilled the auditorium of the new high priv-d to hear the speaker. Hanly has been named to organize the "Hying squadron.' This body is to consist of the best oratorical talent available and will begin a nation-wide campalpn in September toward the total elimination of the liquor tratttc. Mr. Hanly announced that this organ'zation is to be effected at Peoria, ! 1U. It is planned to cover 200 of the ;rcate;t cities in the Fnited States Jor which a fund of $200. 000 is being raised. Hanly attacked the liquor question in the light of a criminal. John Barleycorn being the said criminal. Mr. Hanly placed himself in the position of the prosecuting attorney. his client as mankind and the audience the jury. "I demand of you. the jury a verdict of guilty." was liaiily's opening hhot to a flow of brilliant oratory that followed. "John I larhycorn, the prisoner at the bar. has killed live times as many people as fell in the three days of the awful battle of Gettysburg and with our sanction too. in this high century of ours. There was compensation in the (bath of those who fell at Gettysburg. For their lives we received In return the slabilty of the nation. Hut what compensation has John Parleycorn for the thousands that he has killed? None. His death roll is an irretriev able loss. His death roll b it no heritage but broken bodies, poverty, clouded intellects and crime. He not only kills the sire but wounds the offspring. He drives to passion the thousands that kill. I charge John Parleycorn with murder in the lirst degree; I charge him with the murder of men. with the murder of womn, the murder of children and the murder of children unborn. And you jury have the n.nvi-r of judgment and exc e.ition :im! I fii-mnnil that von ret u r n K verdict of guilty." Insanity Increasing. At this point Hanly quoted figures showing that during the last fifteen years insanity in the nation has increased sixty-nine per cent. Of this twenty-five ler cent has been caused by liquor he stated. "John Barleycorn is at the heart of every festering s re in our c ities. Through him crime has le-n capitalized, vice commercialized and good government torn from its pedestal. "You are contributing to the delinquency of the children of the. nation y sanctioning and licensing this tratllc. Puring my four years in the governor's chair 1 had opportunity to tee things. In my review of the criminal and delinquent institutions I found that at the bottom of 7" per cent of all the crime committed in the state of Indiana lay John Barleycorn. At the present time there are 1.200 in the custodian's care; 1,300 are feebleminded, 4'b) are condemned criminals, while 3,00 others are in asylums or jails. Last year 4 0,00 men and women were jaPed in Indiana and of this number 15,000 were for drunkenness. "An army of 100.000 defectives is now in this nation, in the ratio of one out of every 25. You say you are not concerned? Who feeds this army? Who elothes it and houses it :.nd pays for the care of it? I learned in my four years in otfice who did. Ycu did. You paid St. 000. 000 for it and this defendant at the bar, John Barleycorn, is responsible for onehalf of it. It is the thing you license and sanction and it has been called 'statesmanship.' "At last we have before the bar of tin American people this criminal and it is a great accomplishment. He has no defense. Not a reputable alienist nor h criminal expert will testify for him. He stands before vou with-i out. defense and with blood on his hand?. Ills Plea I- Mrev. "His idea is mercy. Mercy for him? For 1.0'jO years he has wronged and dispolied our manhood and has refused mercy. Now when at last he is before the bar he pleads for mercv r of iudument1 ,i t ; When we have the pow and verdict shall we what he has denied us? Shall we; give him mercy or wcae the noose' About his throat and lead him t j e.xecutio'i in South B-rd, in Indiana, in the United States? j "He pleads that instead of executing we restrict and restrain. By law ! name the place and time where he i can ply his trade. YYe have tried for j 100 yra-s lo restrain and restrict but. have failed, because he simply will j not be re stricted and restrained. Hehas hdated all laws of order and I reace. He knew no law but that of i greed. He knew no religion, no love.! r.o pit-. And now he t ries for mercy, j "Is it rnt lime we made him a brigand ard outlaw that he is so th.it the race may know him as an enemy of the cuirtr ?"

LOCAL POLES WILL REMAIN NEUTRAL

Morr- thnn 1.000 Pole of the city met list nU'ht at M. Heowige.s hail to discuss the i-it'jatin of their fatherland hi the present struggle in Europe. Th- runcPii.Mjfi of 'opinion was that at present the local roles will sit tight and await further developments. Little credence was Riven to the reports that Russia had promised the freedom of Poland or other reports that Austria would. It was decided to adhere strictly to the neutrality proclamation of Pres. Wilson. Ie elopments will be awaited of a possibility that Poland may lie the battle ground later on in the war, It was stated that reports had been received that Germans were crossing the country in airships and distributing literature of various kinds tended toward Inciting the populace. If war is curried to Poland it is feared much desolation and ruin wiil follow. In this case Heps will be taken hy local Polish organizations to raise money to send to their stricken countrymen. Marion Gorski presided at the meeting. Speeches were made by Charles Lewinski, louis Kolski, Chas I'rankowski and Mr. Gorski.

Weaver, CURSING OF MAN IS NEVER DAMAGING "There is a superstition among men that they can damage each other by cursing them, but this is nothing more than a superstition." said Rev. F. K. Dougherty, in his sermon at the Grace M. 1. church Sunday morning. Rev. Dougherty took-as his subject "The Shout of a King" and took his text from Balaam's apology for falli ing to keep his contract to curse the ( 'h lid rt n of Israel. "The Lord is God. is with Him. and the Shout of a king is among them." "In the shout of a king." said Mr. Dougherty, "there is the accent of authority. In the shout of a real king the voice of a superior and the prophecy of victory." "The Practical Dreamer." was the evening subject and the text, "Your young men shall see visions, and your old men dream dreams," was taken from Acts 2:17.

CHRIST'S GOSPEL

TO END WARFARE 1010 ITI01S

Rev. C. A. Decker Says That People Eventually Will Realize That Battles Are Not Necessary to Settle Disputes That the present condition of affairs in Europe makes it easy to be pe.-slmlsPc over the development of Christian civilization and the power of Christian ideals was the thought of Rev. C. A. Decker of the First Baptist church in his sermon Sunday morning. "We may feel this pessimism because our much vaunted twentieth century civilization, and we have a right to be proud of it, was not strong enough to prevent an entire continent being hurled into war," paid Mr. Decker. "The power of the church was also not great enough to prevent this terrible catastrophe although its entire efforts were centered on this one accomplishment. "But opposed to these dark views of affairs are several optimistic thoughts that are comforting. While the toll of this war will no doubt be enormous, it is not haphazard to say that this will probably Lo the last war of the kind. "People will see the futility of going to war, and will turn their efforts toward a universal peace movement," continued the speaker. "While arbitration is not recognized either in Europe or the United States now, and while The Hague peace power is being made the laughing stock of the world, yet thfs will sooner or later be the mecca of these warring nations when they attempt to patch up their differences and put themselves on a prosperous footing. "We realize now that the armament of nations was not a plan to preserve peace hut rather to prepare for war, and this theory of universal armament having been exploded by the disastrous outcome of this great struggle, nations and people are going to turn to a peaceful method of settling their differences. "No political power can avert war." declared Mr. Decker. "Before this struggle came on. socialists in France and Germany said that if war was declared they would go on an international strike and thus prevent the mobilization of armies, and when hostilities had commenced they were among the first to .moulder a musket and march to the front. "This war has brought about the. rise of a democratic ideal. If the' people of the world had been allowed j to vote there would have been no war. "After everything has been said and done, we must depend on the Gospel as the great power and principle to harmonize nations. Even if it has seemingly failed, we must not lose faith in it. For it is not the crowned heads of Europe that will stop this war, but the realization that the maxims of the Gospel are the truth, is the only way in which this great struggle will cease," was the closing thought of Mr. Decker. Mr. Decker returned Saturday from a five weeks' vacation in Rochester, N. Y. His family will return sometime this week. BODY NOT IDENTIFIED Name of .Man Found In Race Friday Is Not Known. Xo one has yet identified the body of the unknown man who was found drowned in the race. Friday morning. Many called at the Orvis morgue to examine the body but none recognized it. Clothing which was worn by the man has been taken to the police station, where it is waiting for indentication. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS From the Records of the Indiana Title & Loan Co.

Pinchon formerly minister of foreign affairs, in an article in the Petit Journal Sunday night asks why the Japanese army has not ben called upon to participate in the war in Europe. "I am convinced." he writes, "that all that would be required is an agreement between lxndon. St. Petersburg and Paris to enable several hundred thousand Japanese to be sent to France." 1 n 'concluding M. Pinchon rays: "I need not ask that we hasten." SUMMER CONSTIPATION DANGEROUS. Constipation in Summer-time is more dangerous than in the fall, winter or spring. The food you eat is often contaminated and is more likely to ferment in your stomach. Then you are apt to drink much cold water during the hot weather, thus injuring your stomach. Colic. Fever, Ptomaine Poisoning and other ills are natural results. Po-Po-Iax will keep you well, as it increases the Rile, the natural laxative, which rids the bowels of the congested poisonous waste. Po-Do-Iix will make you feel better. Pleasant and effective.
