signs OF THE
LORDS COMING
Pastor Solomon Spoke on the Coming
of the savior-six Conversions
at the Service.

Pastor Solomon preached last night
from the text, "And What Shall be the
Sign of Thy Coming?' The coming
is not known by any one save the
Father. The when we know not. The
how we know WELL Some of the signs
are both bright and dark. The world,
said the speaker, is growing worse
every day. Gods part is getting bet
ter There are more Christian men
and women, more hospitals, more semi
naries, more religious institutions and
more good books than have ever been
known. The DEVILS forces are grow
ing worse every day-deceiving and
being deceived. Men are becoming
lovers of self, lovers of money and
lovers of pleasure more than lovers of
God. When this gospel Of the king
dom shall be preached as testimony
to all nations, then shall the end be.
| At the close of the services five
nected themselves with the church
making a total of 26 since the meeting
began.
Services for tonight were called off
Three services will be held tomorrow
the afternoon services at p. m. being
especially for children.

Prof. Smiths Views On
Normal School Curriculum

if no others were possible, would war
rant the investment of an extensive
sum in the Normal school plan.
ut is a sad fact, but true that at
the present time about seyenty-five
per cent of the teachers of Mississippi
go into their work without profes.
sional training, and often without any
more extensive education than that
afforded by graduation from the eight
grades of the ordinary country pub
lie schools.
"Of course continued Professor
Smith, "the Normal school must, in the
training of its teachers, necessarily do
a great deal of academic work, but
while they are doing that work, the
emphasis should be laid ON training
teachers to impart their knowledge to
the children who are to be under their
tuition in the school work. This is
what the Mississippi State Normal
school will attain, beyond a Doubt
the real teach-training with the devel-
opment of the younger generation OF
Mississippians of each decade as its
ultimate objective"

PRISONER ADMITS THAT He
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
ARE EXPECTED.
REFUSES TO See ATTORNEY
Confession will Play Important Part at
TriaI-oS,er Arrests Likely
to Occur.

Los Angeles, Cal, April 29.-Al-
though it has been all but certain for
some time, without any definite de-
tails being known, that a confession
has been made in the dynamite con-
spiracy cases, all doubt that important
progress along that line had been
made was removed by Ortie E. Nc
Manigal himself yesterday.
He declined to see Attorney Job
Hartman, former Socialist candidate
for vice president, and counsel for Nc
Namara brothers, the alleged confed-
crates of McManigal.
District Attorney Fredericks had
said the prisoner would see none of
the lawyers associated with the de-
fense and McManigal later confirmed
this personally to Hartman at the
jail.
Hartman went to the prison ex-
pressly to give McManigal an opportu-
nifty to repeat the declaration the ac-
cused dynamiter made yesterday to
Attorney o. n Hilton that he had not
made a confession and would make
none.
Instead to his questions the lawyer
received replies very different. These
replies caused him to declare upon
emerging from the sheriff's office that
John J. N-N~'lara and his brother
James, are the only ones in whose be-
half the defense would center its ef-
I forts--the only ones whose lives were
to be fought for by lawyers to be re-
tanned by the various labor organiza-
tions.
| Furthermore, the only visitors Nc
Manigal receives now are men from
the district attorneys office, Sheriff
Hammel and operatives of the detec-
tive agency that rounded up the al
legged conspirators in the East.
All the detectives who came West
with the prisoners Wednesday called
upon McManigal and found him in a
jovial mood
Hints or suggestions that immunity
has been extended to McManigal
brought reiterated denials from the
district attorney.
Every one connected with the case
enjoyed a measure of comparative
quiet yesterday, but sensations are ex-
pected at any time in the shape of ad-
ditional arrests. E. R. Mills, local
agent of Detective Burns, said that
two arrests are impending.
Won't Sign Indictments.
Indianapolis, Ind, April 29.-Prose-
cutor Baker said he would sign no in
dictments in the alleged dynamiting
cases of the kidnapping investigation
under way here by the grand jury be-
cause he had not sanctioned any OF the
work prior to Tuesday afternoon He
said that he would not be ready until
the first of the month to continue the
probe.

Ell PASO PLACE
FOR CONFERENCE
The Mexican Government Has Named
Judge Carbajal AS Its Peace
Commissioner.
(By Associated Press.)


Ell Paso, Tex, April 29.-The selec-
tion of Ell Paso as the place for hold
ing the formal peace conferences and
the naming of Judge Francisco Car
bajal, of the Mexican Supreme Court,
as the Federal commissioner, were i'm
portant developments in the peace sit
uation today.
Judge Carbajal is known to Madero
by reputation only, but the Insurrecto
leader considers the appointment as
satisfactory.
The return of Gen. Bernardo Reyes
to Mexico is viewed with uneasiness
by Madero, according to a statement
which he gave out during the day.
Judge Carbajal, the peace commits
sioner, is jurist of the highest attain
ments and has always been considered
a man of integrity and independence
of character. He is about As years
old.
Gen. Madero, it is reported, may ap
point more than one commissioner tC
represent him. 1t is regarded certain
that DR.. Vasquez Gomez will be a mem
ber of the commission.
Don Frederic Moye, who has played
an important role in bringing abou
the present promising situation, lef
here today for the City of Mexico.
"My visit to Mexico has no signifi
canoe. | am satisfied that tranquilit.
soon will be restored" he said.

Washington, April 29.-Discussion
of the free list bill continued in the
House today. The effort yesterday to
follow the lead of the Senate and ad-
journ until Monday was frowned on
by the Democratic leaders, because of
the increasing numbers of the mem
bers who have announced their inten-
tions of speaking on the measure.
Representative Hammond, of Mime

bill late today.

the discussion that will follow its sub
mission. At the last meeting of the
state Legislature the association sub
mitted recommendations for a large
number of changes in statutes govern
ing practice and procedure, which
were not adopted, one of them being to
do away with preparation of instruc-
tions and allow the trial judge to in
struct the jury direct, and another to
permit three-fourths of jury panel in
civil actions to return verdict.
There is a strong probability that
these recommendations together with
other needed reforms in Mississippi's
system Of Jurisprudence, will be rec
commended to the legislative session of
1912, and that there will be some in
teresting debates on the various sub
jects.

Hammond's Views.

Representative Hammond, the only
Democratic member of the Ways and
Means committee who voted against
the Canadian Reciprocity bill, in the
House declared that he would support
the free list bill only because it would
give some return to the farming in
terests of the country for the injuries
they were likely to receive as a result
of the reciprocity agreement.
Mr.. Hammond said he believed the
Canadian agreement was not in line
with Democratic policies. Since the
agreement, apparently is destined to
go into effect, he said the free list bill
should be passed also. He was not
inclined to favor additions to the free
list, adding he favored low revenue
tariff distributed over a wide range of
imports.
