HOLDS CHRISTIANS RESPONSIBLE FOR EVIL'S EXISTENCE Rev. Monger Raps Those Who Persist in Calling Evil Grod, Good Evil. "Changing the Semaphore Signals" was the subject of the sermon of the Rev. A. K. Monger, preached at the First Methodist Episcopal church Sunday morning. The text was taken from the scripture passage: "Woe unto them that call evil good and good evil; that put darkness for light and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter." Is. 5:20. The sermon, in part: "A commission investigating a great railroad wreck some years ago found that the cause of the wreck was the changing of the semaphore fijmlis. in which a white light showed safety, when Is Fhou'.d have been a reI light showing danger. A man taking down a bottle labeled "listerine" u.ed it for a pargle. and found. after it was too late, that it contained carbolic acid.

Miles ' ? ;ough Air UHTERMYER DEFEND WADSWORTH ACTION Says United States Senator Did Not Profit by Illegal Practices. By Associated Press: NCW YORK. June 19. Samuel Untermyer. counsel for the Lockwood legislativ committee investigating the alleged building combine, in a statement Sunday night declared there was no evidence to show that United States Sen. James W. Wadsworth and State's Attorney General Charles D. Newton, directors of the Frontier Mortgage? corporation at Buffalo had in any way profited by the practices of the company. Tho statement was made, Mr. Untermyer said, because of undeserved comment on their relations with the company, which is under fire at the inquiry in Ruffalo. The corporation was organized in May, 19 20, to specialize in .'second mortgages. The prospectus of the corporation declared that estimated profits of at least -0 pc-.r cent might be expected through discounting second mortgagp at that rate. The Lockwood committee has contended that this practice acts as a handicap to building construction. "I do not regard the practices in which the corporation indulged as proper or legitimate, although there is nothing distinctly unlawful about them," the statement said. "Hut there is no evidence that Sen. Wadsworth or Attorney General Newton profited by these practices." Sen. Wadsworth. Mr. Untermyer said, has been a director of the corporation about two weeks and from what he can learn the ienator probably never had seen the pro.iectus or kjows anything about the real doings of the corporation. Attorney General Newton's main connection with the corporation, Mr. Uutermyer explained, seems to be counsellor, which invoke? examining titles and performing the ordinary and legitimate werk of a corporation which he said there can be no criticism. The Lockwood committee will resume public hearings here Wednesday. REPORT 16 INJURED IN AMBUSH AT DUBLIN Bt Asso"lated Trt-m : "dL'RLIN. June 19.

The council, however, will see to it that the proposed transformation cf the arms plant into a bicycle factory or some other industry of peace will .be really put into effect. Gen.
