HOWARD SHAKES LINCOLN
Nebraska Capital Reused Almost Never
Before by Prohibition Orator-Dry
Vote Sure

LINCOLN, NEB., February 14-(Specal CORE
spondence) This capital city. of Nebraska with
10000 population is in the throes Of Prohibition
awakening. Events have come with lightning
rapidity. Clinton N. Howard has aroused this
city in five lectures which, in attendance and
enthusiasm, have startled the enemy and sur-
prsed even the most hopeful friends of Proh-
bition Beginning with the mems meeting at
tended by 1900 men, at the Oliver theater
Sunday afternoon; turning hundreds away from
Grace Methodist church at night; filling again
Trinity church Monday night, the First Baptist
church with men in the rain of Tuesday night,
and calling more than 1900 to the closing lecture
at St. Pauls church last night, Mr.. Howard has
given the city week of pentecostal Prohibition.
Mr.. Towards lectures captured the city A
special city election has been determined upon to
come off early in May; hundreds of men have
already been enrolled in the United Civic League,
and there is no present doubt that the city will
vote out the saloon in the coming election with
the state soon to fall in line
Commenting upon the Sunday meetings. the
State Journal says of Mr.. Towards address,
"Sheddng tears, wearing a smile instead of
a long face, stirring no birthstone and expressing
hope in place of shouting bitterness Clinton N
Howard, of Rochester, N. Y, delivered two force
tu lectures IN Lincoln yesterday, the first at the
Oliver theater in the afternoon and the second
at Grace M. E. church in the evening
The audience at Grace church was the largest
ever gathered, it being impossible even with ex-
ira chairs, to seat the throng, and many people
were turned away for lack of standing room
Mr. Howard, in his lecture on "A Ride on the
Water Wagon at the mems meeting at the Oliver
theater yesterday afternoon, talked for two hours
to an audience which crowded the house and was
enthusiastic in its frequent bursts of hearty ap-
plause Throughout the discourse, the speaker
was interrupted bv APPLAUSE and the meeting was
pronounced by some the most enthusiastic of
its kind ever held in Lincoln"
Successful meetings also were held at Auburn,
Crete and Osceola, where Mrs Frances Bever-
ldge Head presided over an immense audience
and $1,000 was raised for the club house for the
Young Mems League, Pastor Parker contributing
5000, while the balance came in in tens and fives
and ones
Mr.. Howard is engaged to return to Nebraska
for the first two weeks in March

THE SALOON IN REAL LIFE
Just Two Items in the Endless Chapter of the
Woe and Horror of the Drink Traffic


His Eminence, Cardinal Gibbons, and the
other ilustrious gentlemen, lay and clerical, who
are forever telling how sure they are that
high license is the remedy for the drink evil
are respectfully requested to point out how high
the license must be placed to prevent tragedies
like those told Of Unconstitutional Motel
From the Chicago Record Herald Feb 81
While his sister in search of policeman
to avert a tragedy, Wilhelm Williams, 90 years
DID, shot and killed his father John Williams Sc
years old, at their home, 1852 Ashland avenue
about 8 80 o'clock last evening
AS his father fell with bullet in his lung and
another the heart, the son turned the revol-
yer upon himself and fired bullet into his right
temple. He is dying at ST. Bernards Hospital
Williams returned home few minutes after
o'clock, INTOXICATED. He had been out
of work for several months and had persistenty
shirked employment When he entered the house
he abused his mother and sisters and then up
braided his father. He demanded supper at once,
and threatened to drive the family out if he
did not get it. Over this beligerent attitude a
quarrel between father and son was precipitated
which resulted in the dual tragedy.
When Wilhelm arrived at the house and asked
for his supper, after threatening mother and sis
ters his father scolded him.
"Supperp' he said vehemently Supper for
you, you worthless son! You had better be out
looking for work instead of coming home here
drunk to disgrace your mother and sisters"
HA"SHN' iN"P~a |O''"io us Aet'ii@i
and grapped with him. They wrestled about
the room, turning tables and chairs and
terrifying the daughters, Lilly and May, who
rushed from the room with their mother and
little brothers-George Arthur and Michael
John, aged IA, was not at home
Hell kill papa, May, he'll kill him; for
the police the mother shouted to the 16-year-
old daughter who had started to the door to
alarm the neghbors.
The father had succeeded in holding his own
with the boy until the latter overheard his
mothers words.
"They won't need the police to save you,' the
maddened youth shouted, he pulled a revol-
yer from his pocket and fired two shots at close
range into his parents body
Amid the screams of the mother and the other
children, Wilhelm grasped the hand of his
brother John, years old, who was his favorte,
and with the words, "Good-by John, placed the
revolver to his head
AS he did so his father for the moment re-
gained consciousness.
'My boy" he gasped, you have killed your
father"
Wilhelm Immediately completed the double
tragedy, falling across his fathers body.

Jackson, KY, Feb. 6.-Former Judge James
Hargis was shot and almost instantly killed by
his son, Beech Hargis few minutes before 3
o'clock this afternoon.
The murder was as deliberate and cold-blooded
committed. The tragedy was wit
messed by several of the clerks and number of
customers who were making purchases at the
time.
A few minutes before the MURDER Judge Har-
gis was walking around in the store, chatting
pleasantly with his customers, while at the time
his son, Beech, in poolroom block away
down the street playing pool.
Miss Mary Coffy, clerk in charge of the
women's dress goods department, says she no
ticed Beech Hargis come into the front door of
the store, where she was waiting on a customer,
and take seat directly in front, facing the door
She noticed that he had BEEN DRINKING
and that in very few minutes he arose and
walked next to the counter.
The others who witnessed the shooting say
that Judge Hargis walked toward his son and
said something to him, and the boy at once drew
the pistol and began firing emptying the con-
tents into his fathers body
After repeated attempts, your correspondent
was forced to abandon his efforts to interview
the prisoner. He did learn, however, from
