CANNOT DISCHARGE
 FIREWORKS IN CITY
TOM SHELTON MAY
 BE IN OKLAHOMA
TELEGRAM RECEIVED FROM SNY- DER STATING THAT MAN AM sWERING THE DESCRIPTION OF SHELTON IS ON FARM.

A telegram was received at police headquarters yesterday afternoon from the marshal at Snyder. Okla, containing the information that he had located a white man few miles from that place believed to be Tom Shelton, and wanted to know if there was a reward offered for his capture. The message was sent to the sheriff's office. but up to a late hour last night no instructions had been sent to the Oklahoma officers.
 Shelton is wanted in Birmingham for the murder of a young white woman named Kate Ansley, whom he shot in a house of i'll fame on Twenty-third street last spring. Imm ediately after the killing he disappeared. and all efforts of the local officers to locate him were of no avail.
 Several times clues were obtained of his whereabouts, but when plans were made for his capture he successfully skipped Some time ago the officers re- ceived tip that Shelton was working on a farm two miles from Snyder. Okla, and was going under the name of Phil lips. There is a reward out for his arrest offered by the governor, and 1t Is quite likely that instructions will be sent to the officer to arrest the man. He was indicted by the grand jury for murder.

 ILL AT HIS HOTEL
FATHER OF BOY CHARGED WITH MANY FoRGERIES STILL HOPES TO BE ABLE TO SETTLE ALL LOSSES.

Nathaniel Hughs. the father of Clar- ence Hughes, charged with a number of forgeries, is lying i'll at the St. Nicholas hotel, but that does not deter the father of the wayward man from exercising a great influence in the behalf of his son.
 The senior Hughs Is making every ef- fort to square the accounts of his son with parties whom it is charged he de- frauded. Here he will be able to settle nsatters easily, but is now doing his best to make good the losses fin other places where it is said that Young Hughs de- frauded people by securing money from them on worthless checks and drafts. It is thought by officers that MT. Hughs will be able to guarantee settlements with parties, and that his son will be released from custody.

CATHOLIC MISSION
 IS WELL ATTENDED
FATHER MDoNALD PREACHED AN IMPRESSIVE SERMoN-FATHER FLANAGAN GAVE INSTRUCTION ON DEVOTION TO scAPUlAR.

The mission now in progress at st. Paul S church is well attended. Large congre- cations were present at both masses yes terday-5 a. m. and a. m. and another large congregation attended the services last night.
 The Rev. Father Mcdonald of the con- gregation of missions, who preached at the evening services said the attendance thus far had been very gratifying and testified to the earnestness of the good people of Birmingham. He expressed the hope that large congregations would con- tinue to be present at all the daily ser vices. The theme of Father McDonalds s sermon was Sin" The preacher said in part:
 "Sin strives to defeat the purpose of mans existence and causes the warfare of life. Its clements are ingratitude. re- volt and impiety. It robs the soul of ev- erything, makes man traitor to God plunges him into despair at the hour of death, and gives him nothing in return It turns the heart against Jesus Christ, despises His love, gives the kingdom of God in the soul to satan, and makes the sinner victim of remorse and fear
 ITO whom should we turn when burden ed with sin? To Jesus, in His mercy. Ask his forgiveness which we shall obtain when in our hearts He sees the resolve to sin no more"
 The sermon was pronounced one of the most impressive yet heard
 Instruction on the devotion to the scapular was given by the Rev. Father Flannigan just before the sermon He explained that the scauplars were worn as a badge in honor of our Lord and Savior. He attached no value to the scapu- lars in themselves but pointed out the spiritual benefit derived from them when they were worn as symbols authorized by the church to excite devotion
