JESUS ROAD
RIGHT ROAD
SAYS A LEADER. OF THE INDIAN
SCOUTS AT CLOSE OF
MEETING.

LAYTON, Okla, Sept. 1S.-Ten
years ago our people only dance.
That their religion but Indian relig-
ion but Indian religion don't keep
them from drink; don't keep them
from gamble. Jesus road make them
happy. Make them quit whisky
Make them like missionary. Camp
meeting much better for Indian than
used to be Indian dance"
The foregoing was a part OF talk
by Rogers Toclanny, government
scout and leader among the Apaches
Sunday night at the closing session
of the big Indian camp meeting.
1t was the greatest revival ever
held on the reservation, missionaries
say and much better for the Indians
than the old tribal dances which serv-
ed an evangelistic purpose in the
days gone by.
Although but twelve Indians were
admitted to the church as result OF
the meeting twenty-five converts will
be admitted as soon as they are given
further instruction by the missiona-
ries.
Not until after midnight Monday
morning did the last echoes of the
camp meeting die
away in the heavy shading timber
skirting the little Apache village
fouided by Geronimo. The meeting
was held under the auspices of the
Ouch Reform church which does an
extensive work among the indians In
oklahoma. Those in charge were
Rev. Frank H. Wright, Choctaw In
dian evangelist: Walter G. Roe, OF
COLONY. Supt. Of the Reform church
mission; Henry slyter, local mission
airy at Colony, and ]. H. Bell. assist
ant missionary here.
The tabernacle tent was stretched
in a little plat Of open prairie sur
rounded by timber along which the
tepees of a thousand Indians we're
pitched.

NINE SPECTATORS
KILLED BY AUTO
FOURTEEN OTHERS INJURED.
SOME PERHAPS FA-
TALLY

| SYRACUSE, n. Y, Sept. 1S.-Nine
persons were killed and fourteen in
jured, some of them seriously, as a
result of an accident during the clos
ing miles of a fifty mile automobile
race at the State Fair track this af-
ternoon when Knox racing car, driv-
en- by Lee Oldfield, leaped from the
track, crashed through the fences
surrounding it and plunged into the
crowd that lined the other side Of
the speedway.
Six of the nine people were killed
outright and three others were SO
badly injured that they died on the
way to the hospital.
The list of dead may be increased
| as it is believed that several Of the
injured may die.
The honered guest Of the fair to-
day was President Taft. 1t was but
short time after he had left the
grounds that the tragedy occurred.
Just before he left President Taft
took a short ride in an automobile on
the track, which was wet to keep
down the dust for the President and
This party.
This wet ground was such as to
cause competing drivers to protest.
When the race was called Ralph
De Palma and Bob Burman, who had
been driving in previous races, refus-
ed to go on, saying the water had
made it too dangerous to take
chances. There was some delay, dur
ing which the track dried out some
what. The race was called and De
Palma and BUrman were both en-
trants, along with Oldfeld and six
others.
The accident occurred in the for
ty third mile. De Palma was leading
by a lap, with Oldfield trailing him
as they entered the first quarter of
that mile. The cars travelling at rs
miles an hour, were running side by
side as they swung around the turn
after they passed the grand stand.
AS they took the turn there was a
report. The car driven by Oldfied
|leaped into the air. Then it swerved
to the outer side and crashed through
the fence The crippled machine be-
yond the control of the driver
ploughed through hundreds of per-
sons lined along the fence to view
the races The runaway car had
left people together on the ground,
several mangled almost beyond rec
ognttion. At once nearly a score of
the dead and injured were picked up
The dead and injured were taken to
the emergency hospital on the
ground and the woman's building
was turned into a hospital ward.

SAYS ARMY LEARNED MUCH
OF MEXICAN REVOLUTION
General Duncan Insists That
Work on the Border Was
Highly Beneficial
(By Associated Prsss.)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-The patrol Of
the southern border during the Mexican
revolution afforded valuable practical in
structions to the American army, accord
ing to the annual report of Brig. Gen.
Joseph W Duncan, commanding the de-
partment of Texas. This duty. he says.
developed many ordinary soldiers into
strong, self-reliant men, capable Of car
ing for themselves and animals under
extraordinary conditions of hardships.
General Duncan comments upon the
constant changing of company and post
officers as being detrimental to he con-
tent. discipline and instruction of the
soldier.
Because of these frequent changes. he
adds. the individual soldier is not made
to feel the personality of his company
commander and unrest. discomfort and
the commission of minor offenses and
even of desertion would be greatly de-
creased if officers were left with organ
izations sufficiently long to become identi-
fed and interested in them. This condi-
ton of affairs can hardly be rernedied.
however. so long as the best officers Of
the line are taken for duty elsewhere
