JEMISON GAR IS
 BADLY DAMAGED
JOY RIDERS TURN ON ENGINES AND JUMP, ALLOWING BIG MA CHINE TO CRASH INTO TREE ON ELEVENTH AVENUE.

The joy riders who borrowed Robert Jemison's car Saturday night barely es- capped detection and may yet be cap tured. They made away with the car from the Country club and enjoyed a ride about the city for several hours
 Toward midnight they rounded Five Points and the occupant of another car who had just left the Country club recognized MT. Jemison's machine and gave chase. The driver was undoubtedly inexperienced as he showed himself ul for an amateur.
 After speeding down Eleventh avenue for several blocks he became fright ened threw on his emergency brake enough to slow the car down. jumped out and made run through the dark ness, while the car with engines run ming, sped on, proceeded at good rate down Eleventh avenue.
 Finally it ran into a tree, tearing up the lights, fender and breaking up the whole front This incident will probably put stop to joy riding for time, as every automobile owner is taking pre- cautions to catch the culprits.

REV. LAWRENCE AT
 FOUNTAIN HEIGHTS
Says That Liquor Traffic Has Beer Shown To Be Purely Economic
 Waste.

The Rev. Brooks Lawrence filled the pulpit at the Fountain Heights Metho- dist church yesterday morning. MT. Law renee preached from 9 Kings 6:16: Fear not. for they that be with us are more than they that be with them" Among other things he said:
 To-day no one defends the saloon and the liquor traffic on Its merits. The only apology ever made for its continued ex- istence is that 1t has been good tax gatherer but in the light of twentieth century experiment and investigation we have shown exclusively that it's presence is only an economic waste.
 "There are some good men in the op- position. We have no right to abuse them for the position they have taken. It is our business to try to win them to see the error of their position and have them take stand with this fight for the complete elimination of the liquor traffic
 Mass together the gambler, thugs, and cut threats of every community and you will find all these against us, but practically every member of this entire aggregation has a personal benefit to oe- rive from the unrestricted sale of alco- holic liquors"
 The Rev. Lawrence reviewed the fight for prohibition and paid high tribute to the women who had led the fight and b.en instrumental in keeping the inter- est up.

Two Badly Injured By Deputies 'n
 Rald At Llttleton.

Deputy Sheriff Dave Kennybrook ana A. A. Fuller, electrician for the fra'' Consolidated Coal company, Ewho holds a snecial deputy's commission, narrowly escaped being murdered at the hands ol A crowd of negro craps shooters sat urday night near Iittleton, where the or flcers went to raid a suspected pihu tiger. Deputy Kennnybrook, in order 70 defend himself and protect his assistant was forced to shoot two of the negroes one of whom will die as the result of his wounds
 Deputy Kennybrook and MT. Fuller went to Littleton to raid negro house where 1t was suspected that whisky was being sold, and when they arrived they found a craps game in progress. Dep uty Kennybrook stationed MT. Fuller at the window of the room in which the game was going on and he broke in the door.
 No sooner had the deputy entered than the negroes were on their feet and began firing. Half a dozen shots were fired at him and one negro had shot gun leveled on him when he fired to defend himself, shooting the negro in the leg and felling him. In the mean time MT. Fuller was facing several of the negroes who were trying to get out of the window and one of the craps shooters was taking aim on MT. Fuller when Kennybrook fired again. He shot this negro squarely in the left eye and then in the thigh. When MT. Kenny brook had fired the last time the ne- groes made a grand rush and all es- capped except the one whom the deputy shot last.
 The wounded negro, whose name could not be ascertained, was brought to Bir- ningham and carried to the Hillman hospital where 1t was learned last night that there Is no hope for his life.

ton must be woven in the hearts of the mothers and fathers that the eternal salvation of the child may be insured. The world Is calling loudly for young men who are men in the true sense of the word. The youths of the land must be prepared to answer the call by their mothers and fathers The importance of the question must be emphasized from childhood that it may be rightly answered in later life.
 'The answer to the question is the answer to the heart huNger that stirs the world. The world cares not for sell fish culture and patronizing charity. It is calling for the time when the prin- ciple of fraternity and the brotherhood of man shall be fully emphasized. when the weak and afflicted shall not be com pelled to enter the struggle alone. The time when this question is answered is the time when such things will come to pass.
 ''The tree which served as the cross of Christ has become firmly rooted. It has become a tree of life, with its branch ing arms extending east and west around the earth.
