As the taxicab drew up in front of the hospital jealousy again overcame remorse and Shinn | whipped out his revolver, firing one shot Into the head of his companion and another into his own head. He ldiea an hour later Last night Mrs partly conscious, was [tween life and death. Matthews' con- |dition is critical, but a vigorous con- | stitution is in his favor State police and the authorities of two counties have learned that Mrs | Matthews, formerly Florence Baker of Mount Holly, had been friendly |with Shinn since she was fourteen years old. She married Matthews at Bristol, Pa., in October 1921. While Matthews was in the army Shinn re- newed his attentions, and the police |have been informed a marriage cere- |mony took place between them About two weeks ago Mrs. Matthews |sought a reconciliation with her hus- ‘mnd and was taken back after prom- ising to give ug her association witlk Shinn Shinn left Philadelphia Thursday night and went to Mount Holly, where Charles H. Cliver, land employed John Beebe to drive them to Cookstown the three men entered the kitch- on the first visit Cliver said to Mrs. | Matthews: ‘‘Which one of these men do you want?" She replied: * I want my husband. S8hinn tried to force Mrs. Matthews to shake hands with (him, and this started a quarrel, dur- ing which the elder Matthews ap- peared and threw Shinn out of the front gate and warned him to keep away. Shinn, Cliver and Beebe then re- |turned to Wrightstown, where Shinn |left his companions several times, |saying he was going to get some whis- |key. Shinn's mood became such that I(‘ll\'Pr and Beebe refused to -accom- pany him longer. Shinn then em- ployed Samuel Goodrich, a taxicab driver a8 Camp Dix to drive him back to Cookstown. Returning to the Matthews' home, Shinn contronted Mrs, Matthews in the kitchen, her husband standing |just behind her. After firing two shots at the woman he aimed another at the yvounger Matthews, who evaded it. The elder Matthews then arrived upon the scene and was shot as he tried to grab Shinn. Firing another shot at the father, Shinn grabbed Mrs. Matthews, whom heé half dragged, half carried toward the front gate. the drive to the hospital followed. Goodrich, the taxicab drtver, will probably be released today as he does not seem to have figured in the shooting. CLERGYMAN FLAYS DOUBLE STANDARD ville pital Matthews, only hovering be- b Rev. A. B. Taylor For Same Social Activities in Parsonage As Are Conducted in Homes New Britain ould be a more Christian-like city if the church peo- ple worked for the benefit of their religion with the same system, pep and enthusiasm that is being put forth to bring a new hotel to this city, according to Rev. A. B. Taylor. Last Sunday two prominent laymen preached in the People's church and told what was expected of the mod- ern minister. Yesterday Rev. Mr, Tay- lor replied to these sermons by stat- (ing that the laymen should live the |same untarnished lives as ministers. There can be no double standard of living for ministers and laymen,” he said. “The talk of our ‘hotel’,”” he said, “and we need a good hotel. But suppose every Christian would begin to talk about Jesus Christ and his power to make men what they ought to be. What kind of a city do you think we would have in a year? In our shops and factories the devil gets recruits for service. On every hand you hear pro- fane language and smutty stories. Why don’t the laymen do samething?"’ Ministers should not be set on a pedestal, contends the preacher. “When ministers and laymen come tcgether om equal footing there |is bound to he something done. I never feel as proud as I do when some man cries out, ‘Hello there Taylor.' It makes me feel that I am one of the bunch.” Rev. Mr. Taylor says a minister has much right to play cards or hold a dance in the parsonage as his par- ishioners. city today is e For Quick Returns Use Herald Classified Advts.

DAVIS IN ATTACK ON GOMPERS ’ Declares A, F. L. Leader Has Not Got Single Christian Principle, in His Opinion, Speaking of “What Kind of an Em- ploye Are You,” Rev, John L. Dav at the Everyman’s Bible class yester- day took a hot shot at Samuel Gom- pers, president of the American Fed- eration of Labor. He sald: “I do not think he has a single Christian prin- ciple. "All he talks about is higher wages, shorter hours and better work- ing conditions. He doesn't care, evi- dently, if all the women and chil- dren in the country starve to death, just so long as they are not union members’ women and children.” In stating his stand on the labor question, Mr. Davis said he ddes fa- vor unions and recognizes men's right to form Into unions and also to strike, but it is the unintelligent Ieaderghip that causes the trouble with labor unions. He said that industrial lead- ers form into combines for mutual protection and it is no more than fair that the workers should do likewise, but the workers have always been on the losing end because they have not had the intelligence to match against the brains of the employers. The great fault with unionism is its lack of brains and morals, the minister sald, adding that just as soon as union men realize that Christian principles are the best and act ac- cordingly their status will rise im- mediately. In his talk the preacher referred to the workman who is ever watching the clock, and then said that the only way to make an employe take a live interest in the business of his employer Is to take him into his con- fidence so that he will know what {s going on and will not feel that inher- ent, suspicion that somebody is proft- ing unfairly off the results of his work. The time is coming, Mr. Davis said, when this will be so, and then, and then only, will the ideal relation- ship between workers and employer exist, 7IN FAMILY DIE, TRAIN HITS AUTO Father, Son and Friend Try Vainly to Save Mother and Six Children 9 Chicago, Oct. 9.—Mrs. Harriet Har- got of Chicago and six of her seven children were killed instantly yester- day on a grade crossing near Val- paraiso, Ind., when the Manhattan limited of the Pennsylvania railroad bound for New York plowed into their stalled machine, while the father, a son and a friend tried frantically to push the car from the path of the train. Killed with Mrs. Hargot were Ray- mond 12 years old; Irene 10; Richard and Susanne, twins, 6; Marguerite 3, and Edmund 18 months. Rene Jr., the son who narrowly escaped deatn with his father, is fourteen. The accident occurred while the family was moving from Chicago to a farm at Plymouth, Ind. Hargot had “tuned' the machine up for the trip and no trouble was experienced until it was crossing the tracks at Wheeler, five miles from Valparaiso. There the car stalled, and it was then that the approaching flyver was discovered. There was time for Hargot, the son, Rene, and Charles Mishoulan, a friend octupying the front seat to jump out, but the occupants of the rear seat had no chance to escape. The car with its several passengers was picked up on the pilot of the en- gine and carried for more than a quarter of a mile. The bodies of the four oldest children were hurled along the right of way, but those of the two youngest and their little dog were found huddled close to the body of the mother in the wreckage of the machine. EXCESSIVE SMOKING HARMFUL TO WOMEN Increase in Use of Cigarettes Oalls For Protest From the McZical Profession. London, Oct. 3.—The enormous in- crease of cigarette smoking among women, says the medical correspon- dent of the London Times, calls for some protest by the medical profes- sion. He declares the habit in many instances is passing beyond a pleas- ure and becoming a vice “The absorption of nicotine, which is the danger element in the matter,” the correspondent proceeds, “prpduces a condition of nervous distress which is frequently painful to observe From this proceed palpitations and exhaustion and outbursts of emotion. Woman's delicate nervous organism was certainly not intended to endure large doses of this poison. Her fune- tions as a mother cannot but be in- terfered with when she indulges in it to excess.” It is the habit of many English women and girls to smoke cigarettes in public, and not a few may be seen in restaurants and hotels smoking |1ong, slender pipes. Women's organi- zations and social improvement so- cieties have begun a crusade against this “inelegant and unwomanly prac- tice.” SOCIETY MEN RUNNING Robert Low Bacon Candidate For Congress—Davison for N. Y. Assembly New York, Oct. 9.—Society colon- ies on Long Island are taking unusual interest in politics because of the strong opposition which Robert Low Bacon of Westbury, son of the late| Robert Bacon, former ambassador to | France, and F.

Wilson Chicago, Oct. 9.—The meat packing business has returneds to normalcy and the industry the |@gest single en- terprise in the United States, if not in the world, is in better position today than it has been for several years, ac- cording to Thomas E. Wilson, presi- dent of the institute of Amerlcan packers in addressing that organiza- tion in 17th annual convention here today. Wholesale meat prices have return- ed to pre-war figures and meat values have become virtually stable, the speaker sald, A half billion dollar decrease in ex- ports, equivalent to a 70 per cent shrinkage in values in a three year period and a billion and a quarter de- crease in poundage, or 40 per cent. indicated the tremendous readjust- ment of the {industry, Mr. Wilson said, The institute is expected to take ac- tion tomorrow on a platform for the ultimate establishment on a national education institution offering special- ized collegiate instruction to young men intending to enter the packing industry, and correspondence and ex- tension courses for those already en- gaged in the business as well as the founding of a technical research in- stitute and an alumni. Statistics pre- sented by Mr. Wilson showed that the wholesale price of the best grade of beef at Chicago for the week of Sep- tember 30, 1919 was 23.5 cents a pound, compared with 17.5 for the week of September 30, this year; car- cass veal was 29.5 against 17.6 cents; pork loins, 38 against 29 cents; leaf lard, 29, compared with 12 cents; spare ribs, 19 against 11 cents, and smoked hams, 34.8 against 23.6 cents. He submitted figures to show that animals slaughtered under federal in- spection from January 1, to August 1, in 1913, 1921 and 1922 compared as follows: Cattle—3,849,981 in 1913; 4,216,755 in 1921; 4,598,207 in 1922, Sheep— 620,000 in 1913; 7,303,080 in 1921; 6,170,817 in 1922. Hogs—19,987,060 in 1913; 23,909,589 in 1921; 24,617,378 in 1922, The animal production of the pack- ing business Mr. Wilson sald, consti- tutes about seven per cent. of the val- ue of the animal production of all in- dustries in the United States. ENGLISH LIKE SUNFLOWERS The American Flower Will Be Culti- There This Summer On Large Es- tates of Lords. Calgary, Alta, Oct. 9.—Sunflowers, indigenous to several parts of the United States, are to be taken up by the English aristrocracy. Next year, they probably will be growing on the cstate of the Earl of Strafford, and, nodding their free ~American heads over the hedge rows, will look Brit- ish noblemen in the eye. The Earl of Stafford was one of a party of members of the British par- llament visiting Canada. While in Calgary, he was taken to a farm near Strathmore where he witnessed the harvesting of the sunflower crop. ' The earl, an extensive farmer and stock raiser, was so impressed with the value of sunflowers as silage for winter feed, that he announced his in- tention of introducing them into Eng- land and giving them a trial next year on his estate, RELIEF SHIP TO SAIL Philadelphia Will Send Vessel With | Supplies to Near East On Wednesday. | Philadelphia, Oct. 8.—The Sangus the first relief ship from Phfladelphla‘ to carry food and medical supplies to | the devastated regions of Smyrna and | the Near FEast will sail \\'ednesday.l Locat flour mills yesterday worked all day to prevent the delay of the sail- ing.

Havana, Cuba, Oct. 9. — Better treatment for the thousands of sea- sonal Spanish workers in Cuban cane | fields is being sought by the Spanish minister, Alfredo de Mariategui, in| negotiations he is carrying on with | the department of agriculture, com- merce and labor. Secretary Pedro Betancourt has| promised every assistance in remedy- ing conditions complained of by the minister, who asserted that thousande of his poor countrymen were rot paid for their labor last yeaur and had to appeal to charity for food and trans- portation back to Europe.
