 MERIDIAN. Miss, Dec. 26.- Because a conductor of the Mobile and Ohio rail road killed two negroes in quelling a disturbance among negroes on hif train there was n race riot in Wahalak forty miles north of here, and 1t is re ported that in clash between the white and black residents of the town two white men were killed and several were wounded.
 In response to plea for protection sent by the whites Battery and Com pany D of the state militia, stationed in this city, were sent by special train. The battery is armed with a Calling gun.
 Reports from Wahalak said that the negroes for miles around gathered about the town and that the district in which the whites lived was surround ed Men and women barricaded them selves in their homes, the whites being determined to avoid clash.
 The negroes, however, remained bel ligerent. They fired their pistols in the air, terrifying the station agent and threatening to Kill the telegraph opera tor if he sent for help. Groups of col Ored men marched through the streets shouting and singing, and it was ap- parent that as soon as they had suh, ni dy.iv, in, h.- gin.
 Not white person ventured out in the street. The men, women and chill dren after barricading their doors arm ed themselves with shotguns and pis. tols. ready to repel any attack. The shutters of all the houses in the white district also were closed, and those who had telephones in their homes sent messages to neighboring towns for help.
 From Scooba. the first town south of Wahalak, message was received say ing that the negroes. emboldened by drink, made concerted attack on sev- eral houses. Neighbors ran to the res cue of the threatened inmates of the houses, and several yolleys were fired Two white men were killed instantly, and several others were wounded.
 After the shooting the negroes appar. ently became frightened and drew of. They surrounded the white section. however, threatening to kill any white person who ventured into the street.
 Residents of nearby towns, 1t was said also. are on their way to Waha- lak. All the men are heavily armed and are prepared to protect the whites. The negroes of the entire surround ing country are also marching on Wa halak. and it is believed there will be clashes on the roads.
 Every effort was made here to learn the exact conditions at wahalak, but the attempts were unsuccessful. Tele- phone messages sent to residents of nearby towns brought the response that most of the negroes are feeling ugly. If in their drunken rage they resent the interference of the troops they will be moved down by the Cat | ling gun and the rifles of the soldiers. l .Telegrams have been sent to the cap tains of the companies on their way to | Wahalak to protect life and property | at all costs and to repress the rioters with strong hand.

| REVIEWS SEVEN YEARS
OF MEMORIAL BAPTISTS
PASTOR C. C. PIERCE TELLS OF
GREAT WORK ACCOMPLISHED
One Thing Needed in the Develop
ment of the Church Is Clear
Cut Ideals, Purposes or Aims.
Stands for Practical Gospel

Rev. G. c. Pierce, pastor Of the
Memorial Baptist church, preached his
seventh annual sermon last evening,
taking for his topic, standing for God"
After a brief review of the work of the
past seven years in the Memorial
church and throughout Southern Cali
fornia he said in part:
zone thing is needed in the develop
ment of the work to which the church
of Christ is committed today is clear
cut ideals, purpose or aim. The Chris
tian world today has not sufficient
clear-cut plan and purpose i'm its work.
We do not see the glorious initiative,
nor the definite planning that is seen
so conspicuously today in the material
world. The church has done a great
deal of drifting, with no definite ends.
We have too long gone round and round
the same old circle. but often find our
selves about where we started, and we
can see that we have been working
them out definitely and surely.
THE Memorial Baptist church seeks
to be temple of the living God, and as
such stands for the cause of humanity.
1t stands for the truth. 1t stands for a
living, practical everyday gospel 1t
stands for common sense and is not
afraid of all the light there is.
had our trials, we have at times been
misund derstood, we have had our bur-
dens to bear, but all the time have been
bearing a living testimony to the truth.
God has been with us and that is best
of all. We at present number some $50
in membership.
THE past seven years have been
years of steady growth and power along
many lines. We have wiped out our
great mortgage. We have installed a
fine organ. We have developed Sum
day school which is second to none in
the country and have a number of
young peoples organizations which are
doing splendid work along many lines
of practical charity and good citizen
ship.
Last year we were the banner
church in all Southern California for
state missions for our own denomina-
ton, giving nearly $1,000 for that work
alone. In seven years we have added
nearly 500 new members and have eX-
pended thousands of dollars in local
charities and mission work.
I'VE have shown that we are not a
stagnant pool but living fountain, and
our ideal for the future is to refresh
and help all who come within the range
of our influence"

MANY ERRORS IN
OOUBLE-HEADER
SMITH DRIVES HOME RUN HIT
OVER FENCE
Examiners Barely Win From Ham,
burgers and Hoegee Flags Down
Tufts-Lyons-Heavy Stick
work Counts
BY ED. MORIARrY

Errors formed the principal features
Of the two games played at Chutes park
yesterday afternoon, and although the
Hoegee Flags escaped with three bad
marks I'm the mistake column4 the re-
naming teams managed to make life
miserable for the score keeper, who was
kept on the jump detailing numerous
misplays.
The Examiners took big lead during
the initial part of the first game, but
owing to a comedy of errors came near
losing out in the end, barely winning
with a score of 7-6.
The Flags had an easier time in the
second contest and worsted the Tuft-
Lyons to the tune Of 81.
The batting event of the day occurred
when Smith, shortstop of the Ham
burgers. lifted the ball over the left
field fence i'm the opening inning of the
first game.
The Examiners became busy in the
second and drove across two runs
Marcovich was hit by a pitched ball
and scored when B. Whaling banged q
two-bagger to center. Lamer walked
and r. Whaling flew to Smith. A
double steal was successfully managed
and Whaling scored as Bresino landed
safe on Smiths poor throw. Ritter and
Moriarty struck out.
Hartman distinguished himself in the
fourth by stopping Moriarty's terrific
line drive that shot toward center, re-
covering the ball and mailing the runner
at first.
The sixth was another big inning for
the Examiners. b. Whaling opened by
sending a long fly to center which
Grindell allowed to get away from him.
Pfirrmann made a fizzle of Lamer's
easy fly to right. T. Whaling singled
to righ, b. Whaling scoring. Bresino
hit to Smith and Harris dropped the
attempted assist. Ritter drove one to
center scoring Lamer. Moriarty flew
to left and T. Whaling came over on
the throw out. Pedrotts singled to
center, scoring Bresiono. Marcovich
ended the proceedings by popping to
center
Pfirrmann went into the box for the
Hamburgers in the seventh and held
the Examiners safe for the remainder
OF the game. Maurice Moriarty de-
veloped a streak of erratic playing and
made a general mess of things along
toward the latter part of the game.
Art Shaeffer's playing was the feature
of the second contest, and the speedy
shortstop was in the game from the
tap of the gong.

Pastor Joseph Smale in the New
Testament church at Burbank hall is
preaching a series of sermons upon
The Glory Of the Eternal Purpose"
He considered first the subject of sal

the subject of the obtaining OF the
glory of our Lord Jesus Christ, and NTH
the subject of the pleasure of being

Preaching yesterday evening, Mr..
Smale said that all these subjects which
he had been discussing had but occu

lesser things of the eternal purpose.
Lofty attitudes awaited them, for the
gospel Is concerned with the very
