The yHoman's Story.

The Woman's Story.
 The Ragland woman says that she and her husband formery lived with Ethridge at Wilmar, Drew county, for three or four years. They came to Pine Bluff she says, early in 1908, and her husband worked for George McVay, all of them living on McVay's place. Later they moved to the F. H. Walker place up the river, where they remained for some weeks Ac- cording to the woman, Etheridge, visited her husband on the Walker place once at night and three or four times in the daytime They talked confidentially, she says, On Thursday or Friday night, previous to the assassination of Albert McVay, the Ragland woman says her hus- band left the Walker place, taking his shotgun with him. He returned later, she says, and when she asked him what he did with his gun Rag land said he had sold it. In his written confession Ragland declares that Ethridge used his Raglands) shotgun when he killed McVay.
 According to the Ragland woman, Mary Rutherford, a negro woman who Ives at Ethridge's home in Fall Back
  sent Ragland a $20 money order from that place to enable him to take his family back to Wilmar from this city.
 The woman's statement, especially that referring to the shotgun incl dent, is corroborated by her son and daughter and the son makes her statement throughout in detail.
 According to F. H. Walker, the well known planter, of this county, John son Ragland worked for him for on- ly short while He says Ragland came to him from the McVay place. He fixed him up tenants house and bought him some furniture. His actions were rather queer the last few days before he left him, MT. Wall Ker says and he did not expect him to leave. One night Ragland dis appeared and the house was left op- ell and un attended. MT. Walker has not seen him since.
 After the woman and her son and daughter made full statements at Fall Back, the woman and her boy were arrested afd taken to Green vile, where they repeated their stories under oath, which were writ ten and sworn to
 According to Prosecuting Attorney Nixon, who declined to scuss the matter to any great extent last nigh. Ethridge after holding out that he had never visited Ragland on the Walker place, admitted his visit there in the daytime on one occas lon. This admission was made aboard the boat, while crossing the Mississippi river from Greenville yesterday morning. MT. Nixon says he also admitted go- }p0 to fho Wo1Lor ploco twiro at

At the middle of the third week
of the revival NEE ling the indica-
lions are still very propitious. The
campaign is proving fruitful in con-
versions and in the numbers of
those who for varying periods of
time have been remiss in their re-
ligious duties. There is in pro-
gress a manifest quickening OF
spiritual life throughout the COM
munity generally and the influence
of the meeting is growing deeper
as well ass wider ady by day.
The fervency and the pertinency
of the preaching have gripped the
crowds from the start. Great cred
IL is to be given to the director of
the music as well as to the evan
gelist and his wife. They have
all done their part of the work in
a worthy manner and seemingly
without thought of glory to any
but God.
The preaching has been plain
and straight and the results Testify
that 1t has reached the mark more
often than otherwise. Men. wom-
en- and children have been affect
ed and moved to seek salvation.
Sabbath was, of course. a not
able day in the meeting, with a
union prayer meeting preceding the
Sabbath school hour. and a great
union gathering in the tent to
hear the strong sermon by evan
gelist Pratt at the hour of morn
ing service.
Five meetings were conducted
simultaneously on Sabbath after
noon, for men only. married wom-
en-, young women, boys under Is
and girls under Is, respectively.
Good results spiritually were re-
ported from all of these meetings.
A feature of the week which
gave some variety was the blowing
down of the tent by the sudden
windstorm last Thursday evening
The evening service was held in the
NJ. Z. church as was that of Sun
day evening also, on which occas-
ion the tent was purposely loosen
ed to prevent a repetition of the
Thursday catastrophe. Fortunate
ly only a very slight and easily
repaired damage was incurred.
The change of location for two
evenings and the cool temperature
of Monday evening have been mere
incidents in the course of the
meetings and have not seemed to
affect its progress.
The home meetings have con-
tinued to be held in nineteen home
each morning in as many districts
of the city. and these have brought
blessings to many . heart.

METHOD|STS WILL
NOT OFFER ANSWER
Clergymen Decide Roosevelt
Vatican incident Is to Be
Ignored.

At a conference of the clergy of the
Methodist Episcopal churches of Salt
Lake held yesterday it was decided
to make no comment or reply to the
reference made to the Methodists by
the Rev. Father L. L. Dubois of All
Hallows college, in his lecture before
the Knights Of Columbus Tuesday
evening
dist ministers that for the present at
least Father Dubois statements
apropos of the 'Roosevelt-Vatican-
Methodist affair would be passed
over. He stated that the leading
clergymen, not only in America but
in foreign countries. had thought il
proper not to keep the unpleasant in
cident alive; hence it would be unbe-
coming for them to take up a contro-
versy which had waned and should
be forgotten.
Father Dubois lecture dealt largely
with historical facts concerning the
temporal power of the popes- He said
that no sovereign ever enjoyed more
rightful and just powers than the
popes. His reference to the "Roose-
velt-Vatican" incident was passing.
and at the close of a very interesting
discourse. His remarks concerning
the regretable affair were largely
quotations from statements made by
Cardinal Merry Del Val and Arch
bishop Divinede Falconio. Father
Dubois quoted Archbishop Falconio as
saying:
THE Methodist insulting agitation
and offensive prosecuting constitutes a
real warfare against the holy father.
who considers himself a sovereign
ruler; and, as such, he is considered
by other nations"
Father Dubois also quoted from
Cardinal Merry Del Val, who said:
The Methodists here in Rome
strive. by every means to conduct a
campaign of venomOus hostility
against the holy father by lies and
ISLANDERS, here at his very door, in his
own episcopal city
With these statements from such
eminent authority Father Dubois. in
his own words. arraigned the Metho-
dist church so far as it has taken
cognizance Of the situation in Rome.
In closing he said that anyone who
encouraged the Methodists in this
connection knowingly put himself on
the side of injustice, as well as of
unfair tactics and bigctry.
