to Preach the GospeI-Commen
Teachings of the Master to His
Congregation

In his farewell sermon as pastor OF
the Westlake Methodist church yester-
day morning Rev. DR.. H. w. Rider
took for his text Pauls attitude in
preaching to the Corinthians and his
personal experiences in the ministry.
DR.. Rider outlined his experiences
and his attempt to follow the teach
ings of Paul in preaching the gospel
of Jesus Christ, the crucified and risen
savior. He said in part:
In my early life preached the word
as ii was taught me- How can anyone
do more than that? Then l preached
another version OF the same Jesus, the
Christ of my personal experience. l
drew out of my heart and life and
gave to the people. Jesus grew on me
-or / grew. AS long as you look. at
yourself you think you are something,
but when you look at Christ you see
what you really are. Religion can't
be formulated. There are people who
have not had an experience like
yours and who are just as good as you
are. God Is no repecter of persons.
l commend to you Christ, the Lord
Jesus Christ for life, death and for
eternity"
Last evening musical service was
rendered IN honor Of DIR. Rider.
Or. Rider and family will leave on
Tuesday Tor Lawrence Mass, where

again received word that the Mexicans
were having trouble
1 went into the place and found them
fighting. Immediately / arrested the
man who was the ringleader and placed
the handouts upon him. 1 intended
taking one or two others into custody
when they attacked me.
Five of them jumped upon me and

them stuck gun against my stomach
and 1 knocked it aside, bruising up
my hand, before it was discharged. l
succeeded in getting my hand on my
gun and. pulling it out of my pocket,
Intended shooting the man that had the
gun drawn upon me.
"The proprietor of the place knocked
my hand to one side in time to save
the assailant being hit, but 1 think an
other man was struck when the gun
went off.
Il heard someone say that he would
get the man who shot his brother, and
heard the discharge of shotgun. The
shot went wild and blew a large hole
in the partition. / thought for a short
time that l was shot, for I was en-
veloped in smoke, but did not feel in

Blows Rain on Him
Just then some one struck me in the
back with something hard. Another
blow landed upon my head. l went
down upon my knees. They took this
opportunity of leaving the place and
fled, leaving me in darkness"
Arguello notified his son by telephone,
who in turn notified the police head
quarters. Young Arguello, with two or
three other men, rushed to the place
with a rifle, prepared to do battle as
long as life lasted, for he believed that
his father was dying.
By this time the officers began arriv-
ing and search was made through the
Mexican quarters for the men who were
IN the row.
They were taken into custody when
pointed out by the proprietor OF the
pool room. All of them had gone to
bed and had to be aroused. Eight were
taken to the police station by the patrol
wagon. One or two others were brought
In later. and Arguello said that he
recognized one of them as the man who
tried to shoot him.
Arguello is recognized as an efficient
officer and the police officials say that
they will make every endeavor to arrest
all who were implicated in the affair
and see that they are properly pun
ished.

FIGHTS FIVE
IN POOL ROOM
OFFICER ARGUELLO LIVES,
DESPITE HIS INJURIES
InVades Place and, SingIe-handed
Puts Handouts on One Mexican,
While Others shoot-Son
Brings Help

Patrolman Fred r. Arguello, who
was severely beaten up in a row in a
pool room at 243 North Utah street early
by Mexicans, was able to
leave the receiving hospital yesterday
where he was cared for and was re-
ported to be attending to his duties in
the Mexican quarters last night.
Upon examination Police Surgeon
Quint found that the officer had not
sustained fracture of the skull as
was first reported, but that he bore
marks in a dozen different places where
he had been hit by hammer handle.
Arguello is one of the oldest officers
on the force and is thoroughly acquainu-
ed with the condition and men in the
Mexican quarters, being a part blood
Mexican and speaking the language
fluently.
He is known as a man without fear
and one who will do his duty no matter
what the consequences may be.
The first report that came to the
police headquarters Sunday morning
was that Arguello was dying, and the
sergeant knew that there was serious
trouble because he knew Arguello's
fighting abilities.
Dozen Officers Busy
Immediately dozen patrolmen and
detectives were sent to the scene and
succeeded in rounding up eight Mex
leans whom they believed to be i'm
plicated In the affair. The prisoners
are being held on suspicion. Assault
upon a patrolman with a deadly weapon
is considered akin to murder by the
police, and the assailants will be pun
ished to the full extent Of the law when
their identity is established.
Among the men taken into custody
Sunday morning, Arguello recognized
one OF the men who had assaulted him
and whom he had hit i'm the mouth with
his fist. The Mexican's lip was slit by
the blow.
one Mexican was handcuffed by the
officer and made good his escape. The
patrolman says that he will get this
man as he knows him well.
Arguello yesterday described his fight

Performance of Dreadnaught Machin-

Its Opinions

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-Secretary
Bonaparte has received and turned
over to the construction board lot OF
data pertaining to the new British arr

class, directing special attention to the
turbine machinery. and upon the re-
port Of the constructors he will prob
able base his own recommendations to
congress at the approaching session In
relation to new naval construction.
The construction board rejected the
turbine machinery when last offered,
for two reasons: First, because con

turbine as a propelling engine was far
behind the reciproeating engine In ma

place the shipbuilders demanded $500,
900 more for supplying turbine engines
than for reciprocating engines, and the
department feared that congress at the
last session might not sanction any
such expenditures.

department touching the performance
OF the British battleship Dreadnaught,
