Rev. DR.. Woods is giving, at
the First Baptist Church, a
course of Sunday evening ser
mons on the life of Christ. Last
evening his subject was "Christ's
Throne Of Judgment" In a pre-
lude to his sermon he spoke of
the Supervisors and the race
track something as follows:

betting at the racetracks and
coursing parks of this city which
We're introduced and passed to

1T is true here, as in other
cities, that this custom has re-

of young men and in debauch-

but for this influence would have

growing evil in this city, and the

who are coming under its infiu-

Mrs. Augusta Schmidt, serving n ten
year sentence for murder. i'm the Woman's
Prison, refused the liberty offered her by
Governor Mounts parole and yesterday the
parole was revoked. She has but a year
longer to serve and many OF the leading

Mrs. Schmidt has always maintained that
she is innocent of the crime and that she is
being wrongly punished. Governor Mount
granted her the parole several days ago,
but she declined 10 accept 1t and said she
would not leave the institution unless the
judge who sentenced her and the jury which
found her guilty, should sign a statement
that she was wrongly found guilty. She de-

Is not a mark against her. We believe her

The authorities did not know what to do
but yesterday a number of those who were
interested in her case in Lafayette were con-
suited by telephone and they advised revok-
ing the parole. This was done last evening
by Governor Mount and Mrs. Schmidt was
delighted at the action.
