MURDERERS, PIRATES AND BANDITS.
RED RUBBER CHARCES. DEAN HENSON’S SERMON. [UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT] (Received August 25, 5-5 p.m.) LONDON, Aug. 25. _ The solicitors and three English directors of the Peruvian-Amazon Company have written to Canon Hensley Henson complaining that his sermon at Westminster Abbey on August 4, denouncing Putumayo, contained •baseless charges—particularly the suggestion that the English directors deserved to be arrested and tried. The solicitors denied that the directors connived at the outrages and demanded that Canon Henson should make amends. Canon Henson has replied that his sermon was entirely justiiied. When the directors took over the business from Arana they retained men who, as their own representative subsequently confessed, were murderers, pirates, and bandits. The directors ought to have hastened to Peru personally and to have done something at once for the infamies.
