we need to be born again.
You must be born again. That was
the text of Gypsy Smiths sermon last
night. He read several passages from
the third chapter of John. but laid par
ticular stress upon the seventh verse,
You must be born again.
He said there can be no salvation for
the sinners and no love for Christ and
His work without the feeling of being
born again BY being born again. he ex-
planned. does not mean simply realizing
you have been a sinner, and change your
life actions. but means that YOU must
have change of heart. Until the heart
has been cleansed and made anew there
can be no new life, he declared

during the prayer many answered his
pleading and arose from their seats and
publicly professed their desire to be
prayed for and to lead a Christian life.
Hundreds signaliZed their conversion in
this manner last night.
Gypsy Smith said. in part: Il know

Sensational Sequel to Murderous
Assault Upon a Ranchman
in West Texas.
DEATH COMES SUDDENLY
After Lingering a Week Death En-
sues Just as Wounded Man Was
About to Become Conscious.
Two Arrests Made.

was murderously assaulted in his
ranch home on the night of May 7
is dead His death was Immediately
followed by sensational develop
ments which resulted in the arrest
of his son, Arthur Mills, who is in
Jail here charged with encompassing
his fathers death through means of
poison. Hainer Patton, young man
who was employed on the elder
Mills ranch, has also been arrested
as an accomplice.
Suspicion has rested upon the ac-
cused since the night of the myster-
ious assault upon the elder Mills,
and the arrest, which was effected
by Sheriff Wallace, caused no sur
prise here. There was some excite
ment, as the people discussed the
crime, but it soon subsided.
The prisoners have made no state
ment which has been made public
since their arrest, but it currently
reported in well informed circles
that young Patton has made clean
breast of the whole affair The only
conceivable object for the murder,
if there has been murder, through
the agency of poison, would be for
him to get his share of his father S

wealthy man. His ranch in Young

Is Dead.
THE OTHER PARTY MAY DIE
Police Believe that Lad Agreed that

to Death.

Chicago, May 1S.-What appears
to have been an agreement on the
part of Henry Rudolph Amann, a
German musician, 43 years old and
his 12-year-old foster son, Walter
Knobel, to die together, came to
light yesterday when Amann was
found staggering through the woods
near Fort Sheridan delirious from
self-inflicted wounds. The facts as
cleaned from the musicians ramb-
ling statements when partially re-
vived at the hospital at the fort were
that Amann, for reasons as yet not
learned, led the boy into the forest
last Friday and after wandering
about for nearly two days, had gain
ed the boys consent that Amann
should kill him. The body of the
child was found yesterday afternoon
pierced through the heart by knife
blade Amann had stabbed himself
twice in the breast, but his wounds
had not proved fatal. A letter was
found in Amann's pocket which he
declared the boy had written and
which tended to prove that the latter
knew what his fate, was to be and
welcomed it. The letter read:
Please bury us together in one
grave. Everything was against us; |
don't want to live without my fa-
ther. | go of my own free will"
The letter was signed walter, "
and was in a childs hand.

IN INTEREST OF PROHIBITION
Effect Of Liquor Upon Civic and
Money Matters Discussed

Rev George Stuart, the we'll
known evangelist, delivered an ad-
dress at the courthouse Saturday af-
ternoon in the interest of the move
ment for state prohibition. Mr.
Stuart spoke little more than one
hour and was heard by large
crowd of voters. At. the conclusion
of the address liberal contribution
was made to the state campaign
fund. Submission petitions were cir
culated through the audience and
large number of signatures were
obtained. These petitions will be
sent to the state democratic execu-
tive committee, asking that the
democratic voters of Texas be given
an opportunity to vote in the July
primary election for or against the
thirty-first legislature submitting a
constitutional amendment to the
people for their approval or reject
ion.
Mr. Stuart was introduced by Rev.
j. T. Mcclure. He said in part:

Ignoring their wishes. ship the stun
/ IN. Ihls is question of saloons or
no saloons. All We ask is that the
people be given a chance at it.
There are several large black clouds
on our horizon, and | can trace every
one of them to the saloon. The first
/ OF these is that of the anarchists.
The mother of the anarchists is the
saloon, and the saloon is the only
breeder of anarchy in the United
states. There is only one thing in the
United States today that refuses to
be controlled by the ballot. and that
is the saloon
1t is sometimes objected that
prohibition does not prohibit In
that case We either have some bad
people, some defective laws or some
corrupt officers. Is the devil bigger
than our government?
The second cloud is the Liquor
Dealers Association of America
composed of the brewers and distil-
lers, What do they care for law for
the ballot? Do they not furnish
money with which to defeat all of
these? And as for saloonkeepers and
barkeepers, have they not for fifty
years defied every law. human and
divine? Then there are the prize
fighters and the sports They are all
for and with the saloons at all times.
They constitute another class of
anarchists
But che blacklist cloud of all is
the steady stream of low grade for
eigners pouring into this country,
who were anarchists at home Last
year 1924 ,000 of them landed
These are the people the saloon men
welcome. These together with all the
rest l have mentioned are anar-
chists. They are the constituents of
the saloons, Now any man who
stands for the saloon stands fer its
constituents, and he also stands for
anarchy. What can we place at the
end of this procession of worthless? :?
Why we must put there the busi-
ness man who votes for the saloon,
and who thereby lines UP against
his God, his country, his own home
He has never stopped to think what
he is doing.
The danger of this array is it's
solidarity. The liquor dealers, back
ed up by the brewers and distillers,
have the money to keep up the
crowd. Now, if you can contemplate
all this without a shudder, then you
are not a genuine American citizen,
and belong somewhere else.
Another cloud is the gambling
spirit. When a man has made up his
mind to get money without working
for it he is an anarchist Where is
there any closer alliance than that
existing between the saloon and the
gambling hall? The greatest institu-
tion in America is the Sabbath.
What do the saloons care for the
Sabbath? Have they not systematic
ally violated it?
Thus all these evils, which are
the only evils seriously threatening
our government, are clearly trace
able to the saloon as their mother.
How any business man can be for
the saloons is explicable on the
ground alone that he has not taken
time to consider what he is doing. .
He closed by showing money spent
for drink is lost to all utility while
that expended for helpful commodi-
ties bring benefit to all.
