LOS ANGELES. Sept fi.—At a spe cial session of the Los Angeles Pres bytery the entire story of Dr. O. H. L. Mason's indiscretions with two young women in his church are ex pected to be revealed. For two months a contest has been waged in the First Presbyterian Church. Long Beach, between those who wanted the pastor to resign and those who sought to have him re tained The officers of the church have sub mitted a statement to the Presbytery in which they say Dr. Mason con fessed he took one of the girls to a Los Angeles cafe, where she drank wine and he had lemonade with something stronger in it. They have also placed before the Presbytery a signed statement by the other In which she says that the pastor made lov* to her. held her in his lap and carewed her and finally made such advances that she no longer could accept his display of affection as paternal. 'Untamable' Wild Geese Domesticated Family of Six, With Uncropped Wings. Live Happily on Farm in State of Ohio. BELLEFO N T AINE, OHIO. Sept. * "There is nothing as wild as a wild goose is an old saying. The saw iy subject to ex< eptlons. for a family of wild geese lives on the farm of E. O and H.

This summer the proud parents are giving much J.iention to four little geese that \\ «re hatched out in the spring. WHAT HEFLIN THINKS OF SUFFRAGE: This woman suffrage movement is the (greatest peril now threatening the English-speaking people. The family is the social unit, the harmonious whole, with one head, not two heads Sex antagonism will spring up in the wake of woman suf frage, and the sentiment betwen the sexes will be destroyed. In the mad elamor for the ballot, women are hazarding I much, and entering ori a perilous journey. Upon the home-loving, man-trusting, consecrated Chris tian women of the United States rests the safety of our insti tutions and the perpetuity of the republic. WHAT HEFLIN THINKS OF DRESS: The evil genius of lustful fashion through immodest dress is playing havoc with a certain class of women, and setting a bad example for others. The woman who teaches her daughter modesty and good sense has done more for her day and her generation than she ever could by active participation in politics. WHAT SUFFRAGISTS THINK OF HEFLIN: Ignorance in qome people may he excused, but not in a, member of Congress, and I think every Congressman and Sen ator ought to be made to take a course in constitutional his tory before being permitted to speak in public.—Mk«. JESSIE HARDY STUBBS, prominent suffrage leader. J. THOMAS HEFLIN. “Barrington,” a Mystery After Ten Years, Still Proclaims His Innocence. m ill Alabama Orator Stops Eulogies On King Cotton to Deliver Philippics Against Suffrage and Slit Skirts. Congressman J. Thomas Heflin, of the Fifth District of Alabama, Is the silver-tongued, lusty-lunged spell binder of Democracy. He is the By ronic, Bryanic orator whose voice has been raised in the hall of Congress on every subject from the extermina tion of the boll weevil to tne anni hilation of the trust octopus. He has gained national fame and the undying love of his Black Belt constituents by shooting at a Washington negro who "satsed” him It is plain that "Cot ton Tom” has done much. But the gentleman from Alabama is nothing if not energetic, and so pined he for new worlds to conquer. Back he thrust a raven lock, and with a glint of determination in his eye, he sallied forth on a deed of new em prise. Woman, frail woman, her fads foibles, her faults and fancies, was the windmill against which he would shiver his lance. He would make his war against the slit skirt, the diaph anous dress, the equal ballot, and other lunacies of the new woman And he has. They heard from him first In Washington, when he said the dress of the day was inspired by "the evil genius of lustful fashion." The big guns of his eloquence, that once were trained on the bulls and the bears of stock gambling, were directed then with no less sincerity against lighter things. Find* Her New World. Then he went to Lynchburg, Va., where he spoke before a Y. M. C. A. gathering And he said: "This woman suffrage movement is the greatest peril now threatening the English speaking people." It seems that tne doughty gentle man from Alabama has indeed found a new world to conquer. The tongue that once proclaim the glory of King Cotton is consecrated to the crusade against woman, silly woman. The accents that once awoke the echoes In hill and dale of the Fifth District, as It proclaimed falteringly “Oh. My People," now faltered on a new mission. Not that the gentleman is without chivalry. Listen: "I stand with uncovered head at the shrine of a gentle., modest woman hood." he said in the Lynchburg speech. "They are golden links la the endless chain of the Almighty’s plan to people tin* Mlth With br ings whom God with His own image blessed." It is worthy of Heflin at his best. Can’t you hear the voice quaver, with the same old tremolo effects? Mr Heflin is still the gallant Southron, for all his mission agalns the frail ties of the gentler sex. Suffragettes and modistes, they are saying in Washington, would- do well to run for cover, for "Cotton Tom" is tireless. And these purveyors to woman's fancies are not the only sor row-stricken multitude. Congressman Thomas Heflin’s new crusade does not lend Itself to anything that is known of his repertoire of rather ex cellent Jokes. Heflip Best Story Teller. A plantation story Heflln-told is the best remedy for dullness. Prob- nbly further than on his eloauence has Heflin traveled on his knack of telling tales. But who can rehearse a Goose's Flight Ends Long Paralysis Siege Fowl, Flying Blindly, Hits Man and Restores Use of Crippled Limbs. LOS ANGELES, Sept. 6.—A fright ened goose, flying blindly through the air. struck Arthur J. Heddington. u Lemanda Park rancher. In the back of the neck to-day, and cured hii.i of paralysis. Reddington had been suf fering from partial paralysis of the arms ar.o legs for several years, and was considered incurable. As Reddington was hobbling along the boulevard near hu ranch the elec- trie horn of a swiftly approaching automobile frightened a flock of geese from an irrigation ditch beside the road. One flew across the road and struck Rfddington. full tilt, in the back of the neck. The assault was so sudden that Reddington instinctively threw up his hands to his neck. When he re covered his composure, he found that lie had also recovered he complete use of all his limbs & N V© 9 V.BVCJC" € nigger camp meeting in a philippic on fashions or a speech against suff rage? it is duller now in Washington, they say, since "Cotton Tom” sallied forth in vindictive quest of the mode and the suffragette. And how. they say, when he gets back home in the Fifth, can he shout at barbecues and schoolhouse rais ings. as was his wont: "Ah. my people! I have worked long and faithfully in your interests." But he has found a new world to conquer, and fearlessly has set out to conquer it. • However, he is not going unchal lenged. Already an answer lias come, an* answer so heated and indignant that it seems a sad day indeed for the gentleman from Alabama when he framed his new campaign, and pulled down thereby the capable in- ! veetive of American suffragettedom j on his head. The answer comes from Mrs. Jessie Hardy Stubbs, of the Congressional ! committee of the National Suffrage Association. It is Just such a clinch- j ing answer that a confident suffra- i gette would be expected to make, a 1 smiling, supercilious, "pity-the-mere- j man" kind of answer. “Brother Heflin doesn’t mean any I harm.” says Mrs. Stubbs. “He’s just ignorant." / Suggests Examination. Take that, you foolhardy knight errant, who would go out to fight the noble causes of suffrage and slit ! skirts. Mrs. Stubbs suggests that Mr. Hef- j lin. together with other Congressmen, ! be forced to take a course in constl- | tutional history. Certain incidents to which he referred in his speech, she said, were dead and done away with years ago. "Somebody ought to inform Mr. Heflin that the world has moved on," she says. "I don't believe Re willfully intends to misrepresent things." And so the Ciceronian gentleman from Alabama is not going unchal lenged. And not all suffragettes are running to cover. ST. LOUIS, Sept. 6.—Efforts to ob tain a parole or pardon for F. A. Bar rington Seymour, the notorious "Lord Barrington,’’ serving a life sentence ( for the murder of James P. McCann j near St. Louis in 1902, are revealed by a member of the State Pardon Board. Strangely, the woman whom Bar rington married, and who was chiefly instrumental in his exposure as an impostor, is said to be deeply in terested In the fight for his freedom. That the United States Department of Justice will be drawn into the case seems certain, as "Barrington’s" chief point in his defense is that the man he was convicted of slaying is now alive in the person of James P. May* bray, whose band of horse and foot ! racing swindlers was broken up by the Federal Government after many i of them had been sent to prison. The "Barrington” trial, which formed I an international case on account of the defendant's claims to British no bility, has proved a bone of conten- tion and a mystery to the police for i ten years. Opinion as to the prison- : er’s guilt has been divided. The greatest point made agalns; "Barrington" at the time of his trial was the fact'"that his claims of birth were not proven. Even in the history of his life, which he has submitted to the Pardon Board, "Barrington” has refused to give definite facts. The report that Grace Cochran, the Kansas City girl w ho was married to "Barrington” while the latter was be ing feted in St. Louis as a member of | the nobility, and who later had their marriage annulled, is aiding him proves to be one of the strangest inci dents of the case. Accused Woman Calmly Awaits Trial and Is Apparently Con fident of Acquittal. Continued from Page 1. tragedy met in the postoffice, and the young wife went to her lock box to get the mail, Judge Godbee whispered a curt message to his former wife, at w’hirh all her resentment blazed up. This word from the man will be re peated in court, it is believed. The story of their lives together is known to every person in Jenkins County. Nearly 30 years ago young Walter Godbee went to Perkins and opened a general merchandise store. The father of Mrs. Godbee was then wealthy, and the you,ng merchant gained his friendship. Perkins died, and Godbee became administrator of his estate, later njarrymg Miss Edna Perkins, a handsome girl. The couple moved to Millen, It was there the marital troubles began. Judge Godbee, a few yeArs ago, shot and killed the young brother of his wife. Dave Perkins, and it is alleged he refused to allow her to attend her brother’s funeral. All this is the story on the public’s lips, which it is expected will be re vealed at the trial. fluence while she felt the pinch of poverty. This charge was made at the time the two were involved in the divorce litigation. Then, several years after the ulti mate separation, and after her charge of a stolen fortune, Judge Godbee married again, this time a young girl of Pennsylvania. He brought his bride to his wealthy home. In the same town lived his former wife, in poverty. Resentment burned hotly In the breast of the first Mrs. Godbee. It is reported that she complained of being tantalized by the newly mar ried couple, telling of how they drove past her home each day several times, scornfully sounding the horn of their automobile. Asks Financial Aid. As the story of Mrs. Godbee takes shape, it is revealed that several days before the shooting she wrote her former husband, asking financial as sistance of him. Another rumor is that, when the three parties to the FEW MOMENTS! NO INDIGESTION GO SICK STOMACH—PIPE'S DIIPEPSIN Digests all food, absorbs gases and stops fermentation at once.
