NASHVILLE, Ill., Sept. 25.—Reverend Lawrence M. Hight made his fourth confession today just as the bells of the little Baptist church here tolled summoning worshippers to the little edifice.
Appears Day Late;
It Costs Him $85
Six companions of H. R. Ravonsell of Placentia pleaded guilty in Justice Jack Landell's court here to a gambling charge and received a "cover" fine of $100, which each assisted in paying.
Ravonsell, however, failed to appear, but today when he faced Judge Landell he was ordered to pay a $100 fine, alone.
Court attaches figured it out that had he appeared with the other players, his fine would have been $14.30, but that his failure to appear cost him, to be exact, $85.70.

Still Loves "Soul Mate"
But Wishes His Wife
Were Back Again
NASHVILLE, Ill., Sept. 25. Reverend Lawrence M. Hight made his fourth confession today just as the bells of the little Baptist church here toled summoning worshippers to the little edifice.
The parson in jail here, safe from the menacing mobs which are his only terror, told of his relations with Mrs. Elsie Sweetin, who is now in jail at Salem charged with the murder of her husband, Wilford, and detailed the development of the "love pact" which prompted that murder and the killing of his wife, Annie, with which he now stands charged.
He told it all coldly, impassionately, charged the germ of murder was implanted by the "nagging" of his wife and ended with a plea for "justice, not mercy."
He stood at the bars of a cell in the quaint old jail here and traced back over his career during the 26 years of his married life. He poisoned the wife who had remained at his side in days of abject poverty, to be free to marry Elsie Sweetin who was his ideal, he said. He described himself placing the deadly potion of arsenic in his wife's coffee and told how he kissed her cold lips, not in sorrow for her death but because he could now rush to the arms of his beloved, he was free.
"It would never have happened," he said, his eyes filling with tears, "if my wife hadn't started to nag about everything five or six years ago."
Then he met Elsie Sweetin. He told of the clandestine meetings with her and spoke irritably of the difficulties which a small town presented for their love tryst. He recalled a system of signals which they had thought out to deceive the prying eyes of natives.
"When she put her hand on her head in church," he said, "I was to follow her and pick up a message which usually breathed love and arranged a secret meeting for the night, and when she passed her right hand across her heart that meant that her heart was for me and me alone."
"It was six years ago that my wife became cold," the little jockey-pastor began his story.
"The first thing, when I came home she would tell me about the children being bad or would meet me with some other minor complaint. I asked her time and again, 'Why don't you give me your love?' and her reply invariably was, 'Oh, I haven't time for that' and I was yearning for the court attaches figured it out that had he appeared with the other players, his fine would have been $14.30, but that his failure to appear cost him, to be exact, $85.70.
SOCIALISTS' TICKET FOR LAFOLLETTE
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 25. The supreme court of California will be asked to review its decision, rendered by a 4 to 3 vote, barring La Follette-Wheeler electors from the November ballot.
Announcement to this effect was made this afternoon by Frank Havenner, state campaign manager.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 25. Barred from placing an independent ticket of electors on the ballot favoring the LaFollette-Wheeler presidential ticket, supporters of the Wisconsin candidate today announced they would avail themselves of the offer of the Socialist ticket to place La Follette before the voters of California.
"The Socialist party has a place on the ballot," said a statement issued by Rudolph Spreckels regional director of the La Follette-Wheeler campaign, "and since no other opportunity is left open to the supporters of La Follette and Wheeler to express their choice, they should unhesitatingly vote for the electors named on the ballot under that designation, who will be pledged to cast their votes in the electoral college for La Follette and Wheeler."
The Socialists will meet in Sacramento today to name this ticket.
Spreckels issued the following statement:
"In deciding against the 50,000 voters who, in one day, signed petitions to place La Follette electors on the November ballot, the supreme court rendered one of those four to three decisions which is calculated to increase the already strong public opinion that a bare majority of the courts too often denies to the people an opportunity to enjoy the benefits"
A damage suit for $25,000 for medical expenses today entered against the Elec. Ry. by 11-year-old M.Cravens thru a complaint filed her at Santa Ana by her mother Mrs. Grace Cravens, 944 Bldg Los Angeles. The suit followed accident at Anaheim La July 13.

"It was six years ago that my wife became cold," the little jockey-pastor began his story.
"The first thing when I came home she would tell me about the children being bad or would meet me with some other minor complaint. I asked her time and again, 'Why don't you give me your love?' and her reply invariably was, 'Oh, I haven't time for that' and I was yearning for the love of a woman who understood me.
"The first time I saw Mrs. Sweetin, I loved her. I fought the feeling off until I couldn't resist it any longer. God, how I wanted to be free."
His face twitched impulsively, and he made a little gesture with his hands. Then he continued:
"I was dying for love and I guess Elsie was too. Her husband was a good provider but he was not affectionate. We were two dissatisfied creatures looking to heaven for a true mate. And behind these bars, alone, deserted by all my friends, I can still honestly say to you that I love Mrs. Sweetin as much as ever. I still see her beautiful face as I lay on the cot in this cell.
"I love her with my heart, and I know she loved me. Any man can tell when a woman puts her arms around him. Yes, I love her better than life. She is the perfect woman."
"I used to lay in bed dreaming of this woman and the words of my wife. I have no time for that would keep ringing in my ears.
"Perfect love is not known until perfect love is an idea and given. The world has borsakner me but that's when the Lord comes in for if all forsake, the Lord will not."
"I remember the morning I gave my wife the arsenic. She lay in bed, suffering from a paralytic stroke. She weighed 210 pounds and you can imagine the poor woman's plight. Four hours in (Continued on Page Two)

"In deciding against the 50,000 voters who, in one day, signed petitions to place La Follette electors on the November ballot, the supreme court rendered one of those four to three decisions which is calculated to increase the already strong public opinion that a bare majority of the courts too often denies to the people an opportunity to enjoy the benefits supposed to exist in a Democracy.
"The reactionary and predatory interests may have given a sign of relief when they read that La Follette electors named in the nominating petitions have ben denied a place on the ballot, but they will find the effect upon the majority of California voters will be unfavorable to the candidates nominated by the special private interests, which dominate the Republican and Democratic parties.
"The names of the Progressive men and women who were elected as electors for La Follette and Wheeler will not appear on the November ballot, but voters who are in favor of the election of La Follette and Wheeler and those many thousands who believe in fair play will have an opportunity to express their indignation and send thirteen electoral votes to the electoral college to cast their state's thirteen votes for La Follette and Wheeler.

"Every effort was made to place an independent, Progressive group of electors upon the ballot, but since that under this court decision is now impossible, we must accept the only alternative to give La Follette and Wheeler California's electoral vote.

Presidential Campaigns Via Great Dirigibles In 1928
FRIEDERICHSHAFEN, Germany, Sept. 25.—A presidential campaign via dirigible in 1928 forest fires smothered by carbonic acid, gas bombs hurled from the air and defense of America's coast line against the Wily rum runners by air-cruisers even larger than the monster ZR-3, were forecast in a look into the future of aviation today by Ernest A. Lehmann vice president of the Goodyear Zepellin Corp. of Arkon, Ohio.
The veteran dirigible pilot, hero of some of the most daring escapades of war time flying, made these predictions in an exclusive interview at the huge hangar of the ZR-3 as he supervised the finishing touches for the farewell trial trip of the huge cloud cruiser before she casts off for America, probably by the end of next week.
Swings around the circle will be made in the next presidential campaign abroad airships of the ZR-3 type, Lehmann predicted. All imaginable conveniences would be provided the candidates as they rested, free from the cinders and joists of train travel, while their air cruisers journeyed to cities where speeches would be made from the gondolas of the airships.
"I also foresee the time when airships even biggreater than the ZR-3 will be used by the U.S. government for the protection of its coast against rum runners." Lehmann continued. "Their giant searchlights would make landing of contraband practically impossible."
"Dirigibles will be used in forest patrol, preventing and extinguishing fires which have been costing your west millions of dollars every year.
They will drop bombs containing carbonic acid gas quickly smothering the flames."

Only Obstacle to Fourth Pennant is Brooklyn, Scarcely a Menace
POLO GROUNDS, NEW YORK, Sept. 25.—The Pittsburgh Pirates passed out of the fight for the National League championship with scarcely a struggle here this afternoon when the Giants beat them for the third straight time 5 to 4.
The only obstacle now in the path of a fourth pennant for the Giants is the Brooklyn club and it is scarcely a menace.
As in the two previous encounters, home runs figured largely in the scoring. Meusel hit the first one in the fourth inning for the Giants and Nehf duplicated the blow in the fifth. The last three Giants runs came in the seventh on a double by Gowdy, a pass to Nehf, a force out, a double by Young and Kelly's single.
Two Giant errors helped the Pirates to their first run in the fourth when, with two down, Traynor singled, took second on Lindstrom's error on Maranville's grounder and scored when Kelly let Grimm's drive slip between his legs.
In the ninth the Pirates started a rally with two gone when, with Schmidt and Moore on bases, Carey lifted the ball into the left field stands. Guyler, the Pittsburgh heavy hitter, however, fanned for the final out.
FIRST INNING
Pittsburgh—Moore popped to Kelly. Carey walked. Carey stole second. Cuyler out, Kelly to Terry. Wright popped to Kelly, No runs, no hits.
New York—Lindstrom walked. Young safe on Maranville's error. Lindstrom took second on the play. Kelly fanned. Meusel fouled to Grimm. Terry fanned. No runs, no hits, one error.
