MINISTER ENDORSES RAID
CRUSADE AGAMST GAMBLING
APPROVED IN SERMON.
Washington Preacher Creates Q SEN.
sation at Narragansett Pier-pub-
lie Statement Obligatory.

NARRAGANSETT PIER, r. l., AugusS
22.-Rev. Philip NJ. Prescott OF Washing
ton. member of the fashionable Villa
colony here. caused something OF a sensa-
ton at st. Peters by the Sea yesterday
morning when ne preached a sermon on
gambling which had a direct reference TO
the recent gambling raid here. There was
a large congregation. made ND principally
OF members of the villa colony. and the
sermon was subsequently a common topic
OF conversation everywhere.
In part. Mr.. Prescott said:
THE air seems filled with controversy.
and at present one cannot take up q
newspaper without seeing headlines in re-
gard to gamblers or gambling or raiders
at the Pier. Personally. have not been
quoted or misquoted. Personally. Il mat
tiers not to me whether I am judged by
you or any mans judgment I'm regard to
this matter.
Regarded as Obligatory.
when I heard a few days ago that
possibly my unexplained attitude and the
church's attitude were keeping the church
members from worship here ~ seemed to
make a public statement from this pulpit
obligatory.
Several times in the past from this
pulpit. and many times I'm the last few
days In private. I have given my views,
and here and now I will once more repeat
them.
I maintain that gambling is wicked
and vicious. not only in itself but be-
cause or Its concomitant sins and because
II Is against the laws OF this common
wealth.
And whether II he farcicaI or not, or
whether IL prove so successful as to close
the so-cailed chartered clubs or not.
nave never hesitated TO say that I am
glad that the raid of two weeks ago was
carried out. but let us not forget that
there Is another side TO this question, nor
misunderstand the church's attitude.
Our blessed Lord hated sin. but He
loved the sinner. II seems 10 me that the
gambler who runs the wheel Is no worse
In the Lords eyes than he who plays II.
Mission of the Church.
The church's mission is to help all, II
that be possible IL must lay down GER
tain examples OF right and right action In
this as I'm other sinful things. but church
and clergy have no right to deal In
casuistry. even as their Lord and Master
never made Himself a divider or decider
in any cases between individuals"
The latest developments I'm the gam
bling crusade here was the arrest OF
Chief OF Police James ID. CaswelI and the
arrest Of William L. Arnold. vice presi-
dent OF the Narragansett Club. for a sec
ond time.
Caswell was arrested by John c. Cross
on the charge of malfeasance In Office, he
being charged with negleting and refus-
ing to enforce the law while acting as
town sergeant and chief Of police, by al
lowing the operation OF gambling houses
The legal aspects Of the gambling raid
will be thrashed out here In court to-
morrow before the question OF summon
ing to court those found I'm the club on
the night OF the raid can be decided

any prestige 1t may have enjoyed during
the last decade from being marked on the
census map ~ the place nearest the CEN
ter OF population. 1t probably will con-
tinue to be in the vicinity OF that mark
after the full developments Of the thir-
teenth census become known. The re-
turns received to date indicate fairly
even growth in all directions from the
present central point. the result Of which
must be to leave the point at its present
general neighborhood.
Only a small percentage Of the local
population has been announced thus far.
but enough is shown by the general trend
to justify some cancellations. Probably
the most important OF these Is that the
eastern states are holding their own to
such an extent as to indicate that the
pull Of the west will not be sufficient to
disturb greatly the present equilibrium.
With some exceptions. the east Is show
Ing as marked growth as the west. PROB
ably there will not be as pronounced

bids fair to be almost II not quite as

other west, has been announced. The
increase In Oklahoma, amounting to IO0
per cent over the population OF the same
area in 1900. Is phenomenal and IL no
indication of the rate of growth either In
the west or in the country at large. That
Of Rhode Island. on the other hand, Is
more characteristic Of natural growth
In other sections similarly situated. Still.
Rhode Island, with her 26.6 per cent OF
gain. Is believed to be considerably above
the average. II the Rhode Island increase
should be maintained the country would
show a total of about 96.O00.O00 persons,
whereas only about 10000. 900 are counted
upon.
Oklahoma's vast augmentation IL due to
its attainment OF statehood and to the
opening up Of new and rich territory.
The same conditions do not exist else
where, for even though Arizona and
New Mexico are coming In as new states.
neither of them presents the attractions
Of Oklahoma In the way OF newly availa-

bricks, which have been nodded and
tinues to alternate these materials until
the walls reach the required height. He

Shrouded In Mystery.

The whole tragedy is shrouded n the deepest mystery, and the officers have absolutely no clue to work cn. Rumors are plentiful, but facts are sGarce. It was at first stated that r. enc knew who was in the bdsgj with Mrs. Diehl at that time, but the state lnc1t of MT. Diehl that he acc ,a.ra:i- cd bis wife sets that at rest
 A rumor was circulated this morn ing that there were others in the crowd and that another man, wni.e man, had been killed at the same place, but an investigation failed to confirm the rumor.
 Mir. GOssell's Statement.
 Mr. Gossell says he hasn't an epa- my in the world that. he knows of, and that whoever shot him must have wanted to rob him, else it was a cra- zy man, or some person must have taken him for somebody else. He is at a loss to know what other possible motive any person could have had for shooting him.
 It was light enough to tell white man from negro at the place where he was shot, and he does not believe any person could have been mistaken in his identity unless the person was standing in the shadow facing the light.
 Whoever shot him, shot from the rear, and must have been some little distance away, because the shot were scattered considerably, a part of the load tearing his hat to pieces, and the other entering Miss Meyers face. face.
 The officers are still at work on the mystery, and just befoEe noon Deputy Sheriff Hawkins thought he had clue to the whereabouts of the negro who killed Nelson. He had gone out to investigate and had not returned to the city this afternoon.
 Charles Diehrs Statement,
 Charles Diehl says that he was in the buggy with Mrs. Diehl when she was shot. He stated this morning that the shooting took place so sud- denly, the flash of the gun blinding him at the time and the confusion and anxiety being so great afterward, that he had scarcely taken moment to consider how it had happened. He spent most of the morning at St. Vim cents Infirmary, where Mrs. Diehl now lies in precarious condition.
 Last night being such beautiful one," stated MT. Diehl this morning. T decided to take drive, and after supper ordered buggy. from the Kraft Stables. We left about 7:15 o'clock.
 We drove along Sweet Home Pike until we came to the end of the shady lane and turned toward the Confeder- ate Soldiers Home, when suddenly flash from the side of the road blind- ed me. The deafening roar of a gun followed and Mrs. Diehl screamed that she was wounded. She fell over on me and the blood began to pour from wound in her shoulder and arm. How the shot escaped me have no idea, as l was seated between Mrs. Diehl and the mysterious assassin.
 I immediately called for an ann bulance and Mrs. Diehl was taken to the hospital. She is there now in a very serious condition
 The records of the Kraft Stable show that buggy and horse were or dored by MT. Diehl last night and when the vehicle was returned by a negro with the word that both occu- pants of the buggy had been murder ed the report was circulated that both MT. Diehl and his wife had been kill ed.
