SAYS HE Will, SEE CITY OP' HIGH POINT Dairyman Claims Firemen Perm' l , ted His Property to Bum. High Point. Aug. s.—Charging that High Point firemen stood hv and wntch i ed his property bnrq without making auy attenmt to extinguish the blaze. Edwin Clodfelter 1 . local dairyman, stated today that he expected to enter suit . against the City of High Point to col lect damages. j Shortly before midnight Sunday a small b.nze was discovered in the barn of Mr. Clodfelter, who lives just inside the corporate limits. He notified fire men. who hurried to the scene. Firemen who answered • the alarm stated that Mr. Clodfelter requested them not to move the plunk from the barn whebMhey attempted to do so for 1 the purpose of fighting the flames. In view of this request and owing to the distance from a hydrant the firemen were unable to get control of the blaze, the firemen explained- Mr. Clodfelter today replied to the firemen with a denial that he at any time prohibited them from removing the plank from the barn, but he admit ted that lie told employes of the dairy not to remove the plank until the fire men arrived. •'The firemen were dressed up in their Sunday clothes and they just didn't care to fight the fire.” said Mr. Clod felter. "I suffered a loss of $12,000 fti this blaze, and all because the fire de partment failed to do its duty. If Chief Homey had been there I know they would have saved n>y barn for he would have made ’em work." Mr. Clodfelter added that lie is a tax payer of High Point and therefore is entit'ed to protection. He said he bad already consulted his attorneys and was going ahead with plans to enter suit against the city. <MR. WWTiiMtHS* THAT - HE IS RESIDENT OF CITY.

SPIRITUAL HEALING A FACT So Declared by .Joint Commission of the Episcopal Church in Report to Be , Presented <at General Convention in : Fall. New Y'ork, Aug. 5. —Spiritual healing is an outstanding fact of contemporary religious life, declares the report of a joint commission to be presented to the general convention of the Episcopal Church, at New Orleans in October. The commission, appointed to study the entitre 'Endwn'W r Christian healing.'” says in its report: “The commission finds a rapidly in creasing desire that the church confirm the belief that there is therapeutic value in the Christian religion. Religious and material means for cure must go hand in hand in ministry to the sick. It is of ten difficult to tell where the one leaves off and the other begins. Faith in God and faitli in physician must be blended for best results. Both minister and physician know that the power of heal ing is something apart from themselves; that their function in healing is to assist by restoring the .•conditions* —physical, moral and spiritual under which this power may best operate. A fundamen tal principle is that God works and man works. Experience teaches that God does not do for man wfiat man is cap able of doing for himself; that man’s failure can thwart the accomplishment of God’s purposes. Thus faith finds its appropriate place in co-operation with the law of God.” The report abounds in striking phrases. “Sin is personal,” it says, “and it effects the physical as well as the spiritual na ture of man. Disease is physical; but it, too, has its reaction on the soul and on the intellect.” “By creation man is an inseparable unity of soul and body.” “Religion and medicine must go hand in hand in min istry to the sick.” “The co-operation of man and God is a necessary part of the process of healing.” There is an indirect reference to the Christian Science Church in the follow ing extract from the report: “We are challenged as to whether we shall allow this essentially Christian ministry to be sought outside, or whether we are to make it a normal part oL the church s life. We must see to it that we do not afford a basis for another separatist . movement, but should realize that the healing ministry is normal to the life of , the church.” While the report contains no formal ; recommendation for specific action, some " definite ones be made to the convention.

SUITE CONCLUDES , TO PROVE RUSSELL SCOTT CASE Dr. Krohn, the Prosecution Alienist, Testifies as to Scott’s Sanity, Supporting Other Alienists. THREE HOURS^IS GIVEN EACH SIDE Dr. Krohn Said That Scott’s Refusal to Submit to An Examination Was Evidence of His Sanity. Chicago. Aug. G.—The State today cncluded if* efforts to prove Russell Scott sane. Dr. William O. Krohn. the last prose cutiton alienist, told of his examination of Scott and his conclusion ciiat the prisoner was sane. lie repeated stories of the four previous state alienists, that Scott declined to submit to an examina tion in the jail. Three hours were allotted to each side for the closing arguments. If the full time is used, the case will not go to the jury before tomorrow night. Dr. Krohn said Scott’s refusal to sub mit to an examination was evidence of his sanity. His conduct was in every respect logical and rational and clearly indicated that he was cognizant of his predicament, and sought to act in ac cordance with definite instructions from his attorneys. I)r. Krohn was not cross examined, W. W. O’Brien began the closing ar gument for the defense. The State used 15 witnesses and five alienists all of whom expressed the belief that Scott is sane. Testimony of five alienists will consti tute the case for the defense. O'Brien attacked the expert testimony of the State and told the jury that the fifteen minute examination of Seott on which they based their opinion was un fair and ridiculous. “They sat there on the witness stand and told you they expected SIOO a day for theii f testimony. Gentlemen, I won’t say the_ evidence was bought but I will fifty under the law it was paid for.” ’QRcieik argued that Sqptt’s. mental fatuities deteriorated from “cell shock” due to his long incarceration under the shadow of the gallows. His condition wa« described as border line type of insanity which experts could identify only after long examination. O’Brien closed his address in forty minutes. Assistant State Attorney Harry A. Pritzker made the first argument for the State. William Stewart for the defense and William Rittenhouse. for the State, will close for their respective sides. Pritzker recalled that the defense alien ists had testified they found Scott's phys ical and nervous system unimpaired, and stressed the conclusion that therefore all opinions as to the prisoner’s insanity were based merely on what Scott had told defense doctors. “He told the doctors large stories about his business in Canada and his persecution in the jail. But the State brought in the jailers who were with him sixteen months in the jail who told you Scott never breathed a word about persecution.” JURY WILL DETERMINE RUSSELL SCOTT’S CASE There Will Be No Appeal From Case Called to Determine His Sanity. Chicago. Aug. 6.—There will be no ap peal for Russell Scott from the verdict of the jury which will decide whether he is sane and should be hanged, or is mentally cognizant of the death penalty he faces. If the jury decides he is sane enough to realize his position Judge Thomas B. David will fix a new date for execu tion from, which Scott has twice been snatched a few hours before the death march. Incarceration in a State insti tution would follow the verdict of in sanity. The hearing has proceeded to a stage of dosing arguments after the testimony of Dr. XV. O. Krohn, the last State ex pert, is heard. All the prosecution wit nesses. experts and laymen say they be lieve Scott sane, just as the fourteen de fense witnesses testified that confinement and two death watch orders had affect ed his mind. “Rube” Waddell's record of striking out sixteen men in a nine-inning game has never been equalled in the major leagues, " The eccentric XS addell accom plished this remarkable feat on July 20, 1008, while -pitching for the St. Louis Browns against the Philadeliffiia Ath letics. k Fable: Once upon a time there wna a man who saved lots of lives, includ ing his own, by driving ju«t according to instructions his wife bfoadcasted to him from the rear seat.
