Reverend ". l.. Walker, superIn- tendeni of the Tabernacle Training School at Atlanta Ga, and an evangelis of unusual ability, ar rived in the city Saturday night and yesterday began a series of re- viyal meetings at the First Baptist church, preaching to packed houses both morning and night. The sub- ject of his morning sermon was '.The Pot of Oil His theme at the evening service was Sin as Law lessness.'
 In his morning address Reverend Walker said that Gods bountifui provision for mans need was beau tifully illustrated in His provision for the widows need. He began I with what she had-a pot of oil. Tn obedience to His command she went alone, closed the door, poured out into the empty vessels until all were full and thus her needs were supplied and her debt paid 1 God begins with what we have" ," said the speaker .It may be only small pot of oil. It may be only a few loaves and fishes. With these Small beginnings God ~bountifully supplies our every need.' Reverend :! Walkers remark in closing were: ''The measure of our blessing is limited by our faith. Every vessel was filled We get as much out of 1 this meeting as each one can con- tain. Each mans blessing is meas ured by his capacity" :t
 At the evening service Reverend Walker discussed the subject of Sin" ''In these days, he said, "it is hard to find an old-time sinner l Most men and women are to decent and respectable, they say, to be called sinners This comes from wrong conception of what sin really is. Lying, swearing, gambling, stealing-these things are com monly regarded as sins. Most men and women who move in good circles are free from these fragrant sins.
 But Gods word says that sin l is turning every man to his own way It is lawlessness. It is do- ing what a man pleases to do, in- stead of what he ought to do. picture of sin is given by the Savior in the story of The Prodigsl Son One of these boys grew tired oe the home restraint and went away to live as he pleased. He went to the bad liv.l among harlots an.i l got into the ditch. The other neve; went astray He served his fa.lc.., but when the prodigal returned, he grew jealous and angry and re- fused to go in and share in his wcl- come and betrayed contemct:h | } spirit, that. in the signt of his father, was [: greater sin than ti:at of his youneer brother.
 Comparatively few go to the far country, but every man turns to his own way. The younger son turned to his way. The elder brother 10 his way; neither went Gods way Conversion is turning from mans way to Gods way. Let the wicked forsake his way and let him return
 unto the Lord.'
 Reverend Walker will preach to
 night at 7:45 o'clock. He will holt
 regular morning services each da.
 at 9:45 o'clock. Special music. un . der the direction of Mr. Radwin c Bell of Atlanta, is being rendered assisted by large chorus choi "a from the First Baptist church. MI

INSANE FROM LIQUOR,
MAN SLASHES THROAT
Charles Stink Attempts to
End Life by Severing
Neck With Razor

Coolly selecting a razor from q mum
Der displayed, and after testing the
edge, Charles Sink. a structural iron
worker rooming at the Phoenix House,
stepped to a mirror in the loan office
Of H h Goldwater, Market street,
last night and slashed his throat from
ear TO ear. The frightened proprietor
called Policeman Slattery of the Har-
Dor station Extreme measures were
necessary to subdue the man bent on
self-oestruction. With the handcuffs
on his wrists he attempted to com
plete his attempt on his life, and with
his bare hands tore the gaping wound.
His condition was deemed serious at
the Harbor Emergency Hospital, where
be was treated. The cause for the at
tempted suicide IS attributed to the
oisordered condition of the mans mind
from excessive use OF alcohol.

MRS. HALL GOES FROM
COURT CLAsP|NG EDNA
To HER As HER OWN

DR.. Olive Carson Is
Not the Mother
SHAKEN WITH RAGE
Woman Who Lost Claim to
Little Girl Breaks Forth
in Blaspheny
Edna Hall has come into her own.

Edna Hall has come into her own
The five year old girl of whom two
women claim to be the mother left
Judge Seawelrs courtroom yesterday
afternoon with her identity finally es-
tablished by the formal decree of a
court of record. She is not Edna Car
son, daughter of DR.. Olive Carson, but
Edna Hall, daughter >of William and
Clara Hall
The Judgment of Solomon was re-
peated, but it is doubtful if even the
threat of the sword would have wrung
from either of the two women the con-
fession that the child was not her own.
Happy in the knowledge that danger
of separation from her beloved little
one was finally at an end, Mrs. Hall
left the courtroom clasping the smiling
little child to her breast and showering
the upturned face with kisses, while
the other woman-in the eyes of the
law an impostor-vented her disap-
pointment in piercing screams of an
ger and imprecations heaped on the
head of the Judge who had given the
child to another.
Whatever Mrs Carson's grounds for
claiming the child as her own-whether
they were based on love for the little
one so great that the crime of perjury
was insignificant in comparison. or
whether on an insane belief that she
was actually the mother, due to long
association with the child-her recep
tion of the verdict was not that of q
heartbroken mother separated forever
from the human being she loved most.
Shrieks which could be heard in every
part of the Temple Israel sounded for
several minutes from her lips: then a
fainting spell. from which she was re-
vived only to indulge in blasphemy,
calling on God to punish the court, and
finally at the door of the building she
stopped to hurl a torrent of vile abuse,
though in low tones. at the name of
Mrs Hall
The decision of the court in this most
unusual of cases was given after a
short session yesterday afternoon. At
torney Frank Schilling, who has rep
resented DIR. Carson in her suit for a
writ of habeas corpus, argued for less
than half an hour. summing up the tes-
timony In behalf of his client Attor-
ney Kelly, for Mrs. Hall. arose to re-
ply, when the court interrupted.
Il have, paid very close attention to
the testimony as 1t was given" an
nounced Judge SeawelI. "and l do not
think l require to hear from the re-
spondent 1 think not only the pre-
ponderance, but the overwhelming pre-
ponderance, of the evidence is in favor
OF the proposition tnat Mrs. 1all Is the
mother OF this child. The child will
be remanded to the custody of the re-
spondent."
While the testimony introduced by
the opposing sides in the case has been
of the most conflicting nature, and
while practically all that has been said
by the witnesses of one side must have
been direct perjury it is not likely that
any prosecution will follow. The mat
ter was not suggested by the court.
and Attorney Kelly did not reiterate
his announcement that such action
might be taken.

Bartlett street has applied to Judge

ters, Jane, aged 9, and Mary. aged &.
Mrs. Delahanty's husband appears with
her in the case. which was heard by
Judge Trout yesterday
According TO the story told by the pc
titioner. her husband had been a sailor.
but is now an employe OF the Union
Iron Works. While he was north on
a trip several months ago Mrs Della
hanty was arrested on complaint of
officer NJ ]. White OF the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Children
and sentenced to six months in Jail for
intoxication by Police Judge Mogan.
She declares that she was not given a
proper hearing in court and that her
sentence was obtained on the testimony
OF White and one other man, both OF
whom, she says, were prosecuting her
Mrs. Delehanty served five months of
her sentence and in the meantime her
two sons were sent to the orphan asy-
lum at Watsonvilie and her two daugh-
ters 10 the St Joseph Home. Judge

SALARIES OF EMPLOYEES
CANNOT BE ATTACHED
Judge Seawell Rules on Interesting
Point Involving Support of Fam
lies of Municipal Servants

The salaries of municipal employees
who rely upon their wages for the sup
port of families are exempt from at
tachment for debt, according to a rul-
ing by Judge Seawell yesterday in an
interesting attachment case. The de-
cision places q new construction on
the exceptions to the statutory provi-
sion which provides in general that the
salaries of municipal employees may be
attached.
The case in which the decision was
given was an attachment suit brought
against Nellie A. Casey, in charge of
a public library in the Mission, by the
creditors of millinary establishment
which she backed. Miss Casey's salary
is 500 month and the suit was for
$115. The plaintiffs recovered judg-
ment, but the matter was contested
and taken before Judge Seawell by
Attorney Stephen Costello. 1t was
shown that Miss Casey supported her
self. sister and the latter's children.
