REVIVAL SERVICES
BEGIN SIXTH Week

The revival meeting at the Central

sixth and probably the last week of
service. The meeting has been very
successful, the membership being ma
terially increased, the position of the
church strengthened, and the things
for which 1t stands clearly and strong.
ly presented to the people.
The disciples of Christ form one of
the largest religious bodies in the Uni
ted States ranking third In point of
membership among the Anglo Saxon
Protestant churches. In this state,
however, it has but 1O5 congregations,
although increasing at a rapid rate
The growth of the local congregation
has been remarkable, yet at the same
time, of a stable character and it will
no doubt become one of the leading
churches in the city.
At present the church is partially
under the direction of the State Mis-.
sionary Board and have agreed to
maintain the present Evangelist here
unto such time as the congregation is
strong enough to care for itself. This
assures the permanency of the work.
There will be services every night
this week and the concluding services

Scene Of Big Break In 1908.


New Orleans, May 15.-The Missis
sippi river levee at Hymelia, on the
west side, about % miles north of New
Orleans, broke about o'clock last
night, and within Is minutes the gap
was 60 feet wide.
A crevasse at this place in 1908 was
cribbed at a cost to the United States
government of $21S,OOO after approx.
mately 100000 damage had been
done to the rich farming country in
the path of the flood waters.
The Hymelia break was the most
important of the 1903 flood and, accord
ing to the records of the United States
weather bureau on March 81, 1903,
published estimates as to the dam
age which would result from the Gre
vase should the effort to close it prove
a failure placed the possible total dam
age at $25,0OO,O0O.
1t was stated here that it was quite
unlikely that an attempt would be
made to close the present break.
Approximately 10000 people and 1,
900 square miles of territory are likely
to be affected by the crevasse. accord
ing to the estimates of engineers to-
night The waters from the break, I'M
less checked promptly, will spread far

rection practically to the gulf, and

ANTI-INJUNCTION
BILL IS PASSED
Democrats Aided by Republican Pro-
sresslves Win Big Victory
Vote PA to 81.

Washington, May Unsupported by
all of the Progressive Republicans, the
House last night passed the Clayton
anti-injunction bill, 244 to 81. Every
Democrat present voted for it and the
result was announced to the accom-
paniment of remarkable demonstra-
ton. The legislation is regarded as
one of the most advanced steps yet
taken in the interest of organized la
Dor.
Throughout the debate President
Gompers, Secretary Morrison and a
half dozen members of the executive
committee of the American Federation
of Labor were interested listeners. It
was generally said that the Clayton
measure would meet with little opposi-
ton in the senate.
The bill amends the law to prohibit
the issuance of injunctions without no.
tice being served on those affected.
Such injunctions would be effective
only when the court was convinced
such action was necessary for the con-
servation of rights of property. John
Doe" injunctions would be impossible
and the rights of peaceful picketing"
in strikes, or peaceful boycotts"
would be recognized.

Towering them with a pointed pistol.
After the conductor climbed back into
the car the robber on the outside as
sumed a crouching position, with his
gun leveled over the heads of the
three trainmen under the car, keeping
sharp outlook on the door leading
out of the chair car. He warned the
conductor that the first man showing
his head would be shot.
Passengers Took No Chances.
Every passenger on the car that
was in kept remarkably quiet and
some one asked if there was a gun in
the crowd. One man had a gun, but
no one seemed anxious to take their
chances in the dark with unseen foes.
So we sat there, listening to the de-
donations that shook the train from
one end to the other, as the robbers
set off shot after shot of explosives.
There were two women in the car
where l was. One was an elderly lady
who was evidently much frightened.
The other, as the quietest person in
the car. She never asked a question
during the two hours before the train
was finally moved, nor did she once
move from her seat.
mo one on the train seemed enxi-
Gus to make the acquaintance of the
robbers. l certainly did not and be-
lieve that If l had been possessed Of
gun I would have thrown 1t out thel
window.
After the robbers left the train we
went to the front and found the bag
gage car a complete wreck. SKATER
ed glass lay all over the floor, wood
work, silver coin and broken pieces
|of iron and plaster lay everywhere.
The/only thing that kept the car from
being blown from the tracks was the
Hct that the floor of the car was made
'6f steel underframes. I kept a piece
Iof the iron blown from the safe as a
souvenir of the occasion.
"A remarkable thing about the oc-
currence was the scarcity of pistols
among such large number of persons.
A trainman told me at the time that
there were two guns in a case on the
baggage car, but no one volunteered to
go after them"
Sheriff and Posse Goes to Scene.
AS soon as notified of the robbery
Sheriff J. D. Bennett, organized posse
of twenty deputies, and with these and
the county blood hounds left here on
No. 9 at 4 o'clock this morning for the
scene of the robbery. Black Creek
swamp where the robbery occurred is
a lonely, dismal section, and the
chances of escape, are excellent The

cape provided the robbers had equip
ped themselves with motor car.

perpetrators of the robbery. No clue

men that lead mile and a half from

Sheriff Bennett. when seen by a
News reporter at 2:30 this afternoon,
states that on arrival at the scene of
the robbery about 4:10 this morning
accompanied by Detective Miller of the
Pinkerton Service, he at once put the
dogs on the trail. These dogs being
the two young hounds owned by SUI
perintendent Culpepper of the County
Farm, did splendid work, in that they
took up the scent Immediately and fol-
lowed it easily and persistently to the
junction of the N. o. & N. E. and Bon
homie S. w. R. R. When the officers
reached this point the dogs had
stopped; being eagerly nosing the shoe
tracks left by two men at that place.
1t was clearly shown that the robbers
stopped there as their tracks indicated
that they had stopped and seated
themselves on the ends of the cross
ties Several pieces of badly crumpled
iewelry We're picked up there and a
number of pieces of wrapping paper
were lying scattered about. The jew
elry was effected in a manner similar
to the silver dollars found in the car,
giving additional evidence of the ter
rife force of the explosives used

fore leaving him they asked the brake
man for some matches, saying that
they would need matches in that dark
dismal country.
The Pinkerton man, who was pas
senger on the train held up by the rob-
bers, says he was awakened by next
to the last explosion in the express
car. Being without a pistol, he made
an effort to secure on on the train, but
failed utterly. Detective Miller
