J SAYS Flapper Queens of To- day Come in For Sharp Scoring. “What the world needs today gmore than anything else is honest- to-God women,” declared Big Jim Kramer in the third of his revival addresses at the Baptist church at the corner of. Fifth and Beech streets last night. “Any man who can view the mod- @n bob haired, gum chewing, low secked, painted and powdered flap- per without having a blowout to his eonscience ought to be given a pen- gion by. the United States govern- ment. “The modern society woman re- minds me of nothing more than a butcher shop. The principal thing you can see is spare ribs and back- bone. “The modern boy and girl need a mother more than they need a preacher, they need a home more than they need a church. a “You expect me to preach the saloon, the brothel and the @ance. I will preach against your gins because your hide needs hair- ing more than their's does. You all profess so much.” In these terms Mr. Kramer scath- fing'y denounced the woman who lets her children run wild and whose im- modest dress invites criticism every time she steps on the street. Mr! Kramer's sermon was on the Mfe of Simon Peter. “] love Stmon Peter’s character,” said Mr. Kramer, “because of his/+) ities. He was nearer to the act of Jesus than any man with the exception of John, Peter was'nt nm angel. I don’t want to be an angel because the angels are com- polled to begood.

I believe in my friends right or wrong and more particularly when they are wrong ‘because that is when they need my friendship the most. “T believe in the spirit of fair play, of brotherly love and of considera- tion. “What the protestant church needs today is honest to God men. The great cause of God needs red blooded men and women who are free from the affected sentimental- {gm and sanctimony. “The most intolerable burden in the world is to play hide and seek with your conscience. If you are a Christian God knows it, the devil knows it and all Casper knows it. “I detest cant and miserable pisty. ‘\\) I dispise the man who prays to God on Sunday and who goes out to do his fellow men on Monday.

The text of the note, It was Promised, will be made public to- morrow noon, ‘Tr con- sidering the Greco-Italian dispute, announced upon adjournment this evening that the decision taken would be kept secret pending the ROME, Sept. 7—(By The Associated Press) .—Italy’s attitude in refusing to recognize the competence of the League of Nations to intervene in her dispute with Greece should have met with approval, above all in America, said Premier Mussolini in an interview with the correspondent. “All the infidel books ever writ- ten’ have not hurt Christianity half (Continued on Page Two.) “Indeed,” he said, “the attempt made to refuse a great power like Italy the right to defend her own honor was a tangible demon- stration of the dangers Americans were the first to detect in this or- ganization, which far from facilitat- ing a solution of such controversies betwen state, renders them more dif- ficult and more dangerous.” Italy {s firmly convinced of the rightfulness of her position, he said, and she asks “nothing better than that Greece accept as soon as pos- sible her demands for reparation, thus ending the present situation.” Mussdlini said he had been pain- fully impressed by the unjust criticism directed against Italy by some of the American newspapers. “American public opinion,” he continued, “cannot fail to be struck by the gravity of the crime com- mitted in Greece by the massacre of the Italian delegation. Mussolini said he perfectly under- stood that political feelings on” such occasions were “so contradictory and deceiving that even such serene public opinion as America’s; «bound as it is by a real and deep sympathy towards Italy, may be disturbed.” “However,” he said, “as I know the spirit of fairness in the Amerti- can people, I am certain that the negligible misunderstandings which ave arisen among the American public regarding the Italian action will be promptly dussipiated. Amer- {ean public opinion will recognize not only Italy’s rights but the per- fect correctness of my action in de fending them.” The people of the United States must realize, he added, “that the country on whose, territory this crime was committed, cannot but be considered morally, materially and politically responsible, not only be- cause this is a principle of inter- national law universally accepted but because everybody knows the former political crimes that have occurred in Greece, one of the worst of them staining the present Greek government.” “Besides the action of the char- acteristic Greek bands that have worked particularly on the Greco- Albanian frontier is well known. It is also universally known that they were notoriously encouraged by the Greek government. Athens several times has been warned of the dan- gers coming from not checking, if not helping, the action of these bands. “Under these conditions, the re- sponsibility of the Greek government js much graver than that of any government on whose territory po- litical crimes have been committed.” Rising from his chair, Premier Mussolini continued forcefully: “For what can America reproach the Italian government? Any other self-respecting government under similar circumstances would have done indeed has done, likewise as is proved by the numerous examples in the history of France, England and America herself. “Indeed, the Itallan government has emphasized that the action of the conference of ambassadors (whereby the mission headed by General Tellint was entrusted with the delimitation of the Greco- Albanian frontier) might run parallel to Italy’s action. “The reparations asked (Continued on Page Nine.) from CY LOCATION FOR NEW HIGH SCHOOL IS URCED Rather than see the new $500,- 000 high school bui'ding, plans for which are now complete, crowded Into insignificance against the pres- ent structure, the Casper Real Es- tate Board came out today in advo- cacy of closing Tenth street between Elm and Oak, and the purchase of all properties. and removal of all bulldings’ bordering on Cy: avenue between the same two streets.

Federal Officer Arrives to Take Charge of Case In Which Three Are Ac- cused Under Mann Act An abduction case that has been made especially diffi- cult for the authorities to handle because it was not re- ported for three weeks after the events took plac ig facing the federal and county officials at the present time. It in- volves the alleged transportation for immoral purposes from the state of Nebraska to Wyoming of the 15-year-old daughter of Stanley F. Lappeck and the subsequent forced cohabitation of the girl with one Jack Kinnaman. The girl was living with her broth- er and his wife in Omaha, Neb., un- til early in August. At this time her parents who reside in Casper mnt her $40 with which to pay her way to Casper. While in Omaha the girl met Mr. and Mrs. George Clark who said that they were coming to Cas- per and would be glad to have her for company. The girl thinking noth- ing unusual tn the idea readily ac- cepted the invitation. ‘When the party reached Fremont, Neb., they were joined by Jack Kin- naman who forced his attentions on the girl. Mr. and Mrs. Clark sup- ported him in his aggression and did their best to break the girl's will so that she would submit, according to her statement. She was finally foreed to give in and to comply with the desires of Kinnaman, it 1s charged. ‘When the party reached Casper, the girl found that she was not to be released but that she was to be taken to different surrounding oil camps where she was told her youth- ful attractions would make at least $50 a week.

They discussed the league generally and the Italo-Greek crisis relating to it. for a considerable period but at the end of the fourth Cay she made her escape and returned to her family. That was three weeks ago. Al- though she told her parents about the matter, it was kept as a family secret until last night. The girl met Mr. and Mrs. Clark on the streets of Casper yesterday afternoon. They urged her to come with them and she told them that she would meet them at the corner of A and Wol- cott streets at 7:30 o'clock in the evening. She then went home and told her parents of the trap she had set. Mr. Lappeck went to the spot, but the Clarks evidently beoame susplo- fous and did not stop their car. Lappeck then went to the city po- lice and to the county attorney with a request for a search of the parties. Captain Clayton of the police de partment stated that all the events haa occurred outside of the city limits ‘and that therefore it was without his jurisdiction, but that in spite of this he would serve a war- rant if it were obtained and brought back to him. County Attorney Foster offered to make a search for Kinnaman on the charge of illegal cohabitation within the county but said that he could not arrest the Clarks since their alleged offense of transporting the girl from one state to another for tmmoral purposes was a federal case. He directed Lappeck to U. 8. Commissioner M. P. Wheeler or to Hugh L. Patton, U, 8. marshal. It happened that both of these men were out of the city. Telephone connection with Mar- shal Patton at Cheyenne was then obtained, and he said that a deputy marshal was on his way to Casper, who would look into the case while here.
