RUBBER INFAMIES
A SEVERE SERMON-
CANON HENSON REFUSES TO WITHDRAW. . \ AN UNAVAILING PROTEST. By Tclenrapli—Press Asaocla tlon-Coryrlcht (Rec. August 25, 5.5 p.m.) London, October 24. The solicitors and three English directors of tho Peruvian-Amazonian Company have written to Canon Honsley Henson, of Westminster Abbey, complaining of his sermon in tho Abbey on August i, denouncing tho Putumoyo rublier atrocities. Tho ground of objection is that tho sermon contained baseless charges, particularly in respect of the suggestion that the English directors of the company deserved to bo arrested and tried. The solicitors denied that tho directors had connived at the outrages, and demanded that Canon Henson should make amends. Canon Henson replied that the sermon wa3 entirely justified. When the directors took over the business from tho Arana Company they had retained the men who, as their own representative subsequently confessed, wore murderers, pirates, and bandits. Tho directors ought to have hastened to Peru and personally have done something to atone for the infamies.
