SUCCESS NOT AS
WAS PREDICTED
Week of Prayer Will Be DO
served Again Next Year.

The week of prayer last week did not
meet with as much success as was at
first predicted. Although the Episco-
pal church was the only church that
held the regular daily services. the
Baptist held special services three
days and several other churches held
special services on Wednesday and
Thursday and all other protestant
churches observed the occasion Thurs
day and Sunday.
1t was found that the noon hour
was not a suitable time TO hold the SER
vices because Of the irregularity of the
dining hour of the many business and
shop men of the city. The service
started at 1905 and concluded at 1925,
thus giving the shopmen no opportu-
nifty whatever of attending.
1t is believed that whe nthe prayer
week next year is observed. that more
suitable hours will be selected. 1t is
also stated by one of the local min
listers that the place of holding the ser.
vices would be in one of the store
rooms in the uptown district which
would be within reach of all.

ELIOT A F|GURtHEAD
Charge Made That President
OF Harvard Is a Moder-
! ate Orinker.
TONE SCORES EDUCATOR.

Worcester, Mass, Dec. TN TEN
perance Without Prohibition" work
by the Rev. L. c. Towne of the Oxford
Bureau of Research which has just
come out, President Eliot of Harvard
is bitterly attacked as follows:
President Eliot at Ford Hall on
Oct. 20 attempted an apology for the
eliminating hypocricy of his career in
accepting no-license leadership, when
up to IS years of age his example has
been that of a moderate drinker and
his stand has been against prohibi-
ton. 1t has been not the glory only
but the misfortune of President Eliot S
career that he has been a conspicuous
figurehead far beyond his actually
demonstrated worth in any respect
whatever.
1T is but too easy TO note the loud
acclaim of splendid success of Presi-
dent Eliot in magnificent develop
ments at Harvard, but none the less
on those November days the historic
scene which Harvard presents her
students and her graduates of the
Eliot period is that of a volcano OF
vulgar passion. the fool fury of ath-
leticism, rcvel OF savage scrimmage
and base sport suggestive a good de al
more of Roman circus than Christian
culture"

Mckay is charged with permitting
a room to be used for gambling, and
the others are charged with gaming.
1t is the second offense for Mckay.
Two dice were secured by the coppers
as evidence. Roberts secured bail fol-
lowing his arrest and was released
pending his arraignment this after
noon. The others arrested spent the
night in Jail.

after the other doors had been blocked.
When Officers Vogelsong, Hebble,
Menke and Yingling arrived at the
place, the latter two were placed to
block the exits. Vogelsong. followed
by Hebble. raped at the door. 1t was
opened and 'Vogle" pushed his huge
bulk in. Immediately the gamblers
recognized the time had come for their
final stand. Great haste was shown
in the attempt to break out. In the
stampede the lamp was knocked off
the mantel, but was caught by Vogel-
song. The Mckay family had finish
ed dinner only short time before and

the dining room. Every place was
sought for refuge. In diving under
the table, one burly fellow overturned
It. The dishes were piled upon the
floor in a heap. Another collided
with Mrs. Mckay and she went to the
floor. She and the children screamed,
the men swore and darted about in the
semi darkness.
Yingling opened the door to go to
the aid of his fellow officers and one
negro tried to break out. Yingling
throttled him. Just then another
dived between the copper's legs. Wing
ling clenched his legs about the fell
lows body. but the assailants were pill
ing up too thickly. Whitley grabbed
for the fellow between his legs and Sc
cured a hold on his sweater. The ne
gro kept on going. The sweater
stretched and finally gave way, freeing
its wearer. The other officers were
having a lively time in the melee.
Clubs were used but little, the police
men being able to manage the bunch
without resorting to their sticks for
protections
The crap shooters that were secured.
were loaded into the patrol wagon and
taken to Jail. Their cases were set
for trial this afternoon. The Mckay
family is in stringent circumstances.

notified by superintendent Bailey to
find some way to care for the children
while their father is in custody.

Father Mattingly Promises
Startling Announcement
At Mass Tomorrow.
TUESDAY is FEAST DAY.

In announcing the celebration of the
Feast of the Immaculate Conception.
which will be solemnly observed to-
morrow by the local Catholic churches,
Father Mattingly of ST. Mary's Catho-
lie church yesterday informed the
members of his congregation that he
wanted everyone of them who could
possibly attend, to be present at the q
O'Clock mass in the morning, as he
had an announcement of the utmost
Importance and interest to make. Faith
er Mattinsly refuses to state what the
nature of this announcement will be
but, it is thought it will have some
thing to do with the proposed erection
of a new church. Tomorrow Father
Mattingly will wear for the first time
the very valuable c1alice, which is
made of jewels contributed by various
members of the church.

After all. its not such a long cry
between Seven, come ye 'leven" to

the close relationship between these
two we'll known utterances has caused
the erasing of craps from our winter

1t is probably only polite and proper
for us to again announce that Mr.. Nick

DOUBLE HEADER WRESTLING
BILL FRIDAY NIGHT WILL BE
GREATEST EVER HELD IN THIS
city.

There is no reason why the big
Nouble-header wrestling show at the
coliseum Friday night should not be
witnessed by packed house as there
Is no doubt of the fact that the two
best contests ever held in this section
of the country will be pulled off. The
zirst bout will be between those two
clever light heavyweights, Prindle and
XaSalle. Both of these men are well
known 10 the local enthusiasts and
they know what good exhibition
each, man is capable of putting up.
However the. feature of the program
will be the match between Demetral
and Olson, who. with Fred Beel and
Americas, top the list of light heavy
weights. One of the greatest wrest-
ding bouts ever pulled off in the south
was between Olson and Demetral.
This@match took place at Tampa and
enc of the Tampa newspapers in de-
scribingtthis battle, has the following
No,say:
"Beef himself refereed the battle.
There was no friendly exchange or
greeting when the men stepped upon
Che mat. Olson sneered at the Greek
and was heard to tell his friends at
the'matside that his chance had come
and that the Greek stood no chance.
Demetral did not take any notice of
his opponent and the time for the first
fall was called before the men shook
hands. Beel knowing that the men
were enemies, did not order them to
un6argo the customary handshake.
3he little whirlwind from Wisconsin
oomply acted as referee and proved
nat he had no likes or dislikes for
otther man by giving each man an
epeu break. The crowd, so far as
sympathy went was about evenly di-
Ty1ded. Few cared who won and there
