1000 Young C~levelanders Have

Cleveland, O.-For the next two weeks

deavor to live as they believe Jesus

night at Epworth Memorial Church

In his address Rev. Mr.. Wallace point
ed the way for the young people to fol-

must lead a joyous life. They will quit
kicking and will go to work in a cheer
full frame of mind. They will also en-
deavor to be honest in business. They
may find this task rather hard, as II

diately fired if they try to keep their
pledges around his establishment.

EARTHQUAKE FOR THE SOUTH
Prediction That Little Rock and Hot
Springs Will Be Hit.

Oklahoma City, Okla.0Geological re-
searches indicate that portions of Okla
homa, Arkansas and Texas will one day
be visited by an earthquake more far
reaching in its area and more destructive
in it's effects than that from which Italy
recently has suffered, according to Prof.
Charles N. Gould, a member of the fac
ulty of the Oklahoma State University
and director of the State geological sur
vey. He says that Tishomingo and
Atkoia, Okla, Denison, Waco and Tex
arkana, Tex, and Little Rock and Hot
Springs, Ark, will be in the center line
of disturbances. Prof. Gould claims that
the cause of the recent disturbance was
the sliding of s~ubterranean layers of rock
accelerated by the tidal wave. He pre-
diets that eventually a series of disturb
ances will bring the quake center beneath
the central part of the United States and
toward the South. He makes no predic-
ton as to the date.

BAPTIZED UNDER ICE.
Cold Water of Lake Used to Wash
Away Sins.

st. Joseph, Mich.-In the presence of
1000 persons grouped on the snow and
ice-clad shore of Lake Michigan, a class
of Church of God converts were Sunday
afternoon baptized by Rev. August F.
Schmittz, head of the local church. De-
scending into the chilled water by means
of a ladder, through a hole in the ice,
ten persons, ranging in age from a small
child to a frail woman ~ years old, were
thus immersed. A cold, raw wind
swept in from the lake. Clad in the
robes of his church, the Rev. Schmittz
solemnly led the religious procession
across the ice to the open water a hun-
dred feet from the shore, where the cere-
mony was to take place. After offering
up a prayer he entered the water, which
came up to his chest. Floating ice in
terfered somewhat with the rapidity
with which the pastor apparently desired
to work, but each candidate successfully
entered the lake and quickly afterward
scrambled out again. They were clad in
ordinary clothing. Three of the women
were b~arefOOted.

FINE KNOCKED OUT
Supreme Court Decides Against the
Government.

Washington.-The $29, 900, 900 fine
case of the Standard Oil Company will
not be reviewed by the Supreme Court
of the United States. The decision of
the court to this effect was announced
by Chief Justice Fuller soon after the
court convened Monday. The case
came to the court on a petition filed
by the government, asking the court,
in a petition for a writ of certiorari.
to order up the record in the case for
a review of the decision of the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals for
the Seventh Circuit, by which Judge
Landis' original decision, imposing a
fine of $4,000 900 against the Stand
ard Oil Company for accepting rebates
from the railroad companies, was re-
yersed. The action of the court con-
sisted in the announcement that the
governments petition would not be
granted. The effect of this announce
ment will be to leave standing the de-
cision of the Court of Appeals, which
was adverse to the government and
favorable to the company.

Property Destroyed But No Lives

Batson, Tex.-Between 4 and 5 o'clock
Monday afternoon Batson and vicinity
were visited by two distinct ~tornadoes,
the funnel-shaped clouds coming up
from the east and passing to the west
ward. Although considerable property
loss resulted, a most remarkable and
unaccountable fact is that not a single
person was injured. Two residences in
town were totally destroyed by the
whirling wind. The approach of the
storms was witnessed by the entire
population, and men, women and chill
dren became panic stricken, rushing
from their homes out on the prairie.
They thus lodged the centers of the
storm and this is perhaps the only
thing that prevented the loss of several
