A SPLENDID BUILDING
ARMORY WILL AMPLY HOUSE
MULTtTUDES AT DISCIPLES
ANNUAL GATHERING.
Will be Made Comfortable in Second
Longest Structure of its Kind
in This Country.

When the Disciples of Christ elect
cd to hold their 1912 international
Convention in the city of Louisville,
Kys, they were moved by many con-
siderations of sentiment. The advan-
tageous location so near the center
Of the strength of this people also
weighed heavily. However, one very
practical consideration was the neces-
sity of proper housing of a meeting of
such vast proportions.
These conventions are attended by
many thousands of people. 1t is ex-
pected that not less than twenty thou
sand Disciples will be in attendance
at Louisville. Fortunately this city is
provided with an ideal structure for
lust such an affair.
The Jefferson county armory is the
second largest building of its kind in
the United States. 1t contains 4,450,-
100 cubic feet and is fireproof through
out. The main building, which con-
sists of three stories and basement
contains quarters for officers, company
looms, lockers, gymnasium, library,
veterans room, etc, and the base
ment contains rifle range, general
toilet, artillery quarters, mess hall,
kitchen, quartermaster department,
store room, etc.
The great dome of the drill hall
rising to height of 123 feet is just
behind the main building. This hall
is spanned by large steel trusses.
thus affording clear floor space of
1920 square feet. The seating Ca
pacity of the hall and balconies is
about 10000.
This is an extremely interesting
building, being the highest type of
its kind in this country, especially
in structural interest, size and gen.
eral arrangement.
This great gathering, which will be
in Louisville October 18th to 22d In
elusive, will be we'll provided for a
meeting place in this immense struc-
ture.
In addition to furnishing an ade-
QudIe place lOI IHe SeueIdl meetings
of the session there are ample spaces
for the exhibits of the various socie-
ties and departments of the church.
These exhibits are an instructive and
helpful part of these annual conven-
tions. The work being done by the
foreign and home missionary boards
are here portrayed. The publishing
companies maintain departments for
the exhibition of their books, etc.
The armory was first used a few
years ago on the occasion of the
great Louisville Home Coming"
when frequently more than twenty
thousand people were accommodated
In the spacious auditorium. AS this
convention is to be very much in the
nature of home coming, it is most
fitting that it again be pressed into
service ~ekf.~"Sh % Fsru

VIRGINIA HAS MADE GOOD.

Virginia has paid $4,000 to lie
tectives for the capture of the Allen
gang that shot up the court house
at Hillsville last March. All of the
men charged with the crime have been
caught, the last two having been cap
tured in Des Moines week ago. Two
have been sentenced to the death
chair, others to terms in prison, some
acquitted, and the two last found re-
main to be tried. Few tragedies In
this country's history were more
shocking than this, few brought
about such wholesale murder OF men
who were seeking to carry out the law.
It was a murderous defiance of the
courts authority, a manifestation of
outlawry at its worst.
The money paid the detectives can
only be small part of the expenses
to which the commonwealth has been
put for the capture, imprisonment,
transportation, trial and punishment
of these men. Virginia has by this
outlay demonstrated to the country
that it's law canot be defied. 1t has
taught its mountain gangs that they
cannot defy and shoot up its courts
without punishment. 1t has put the
ban on their distilling of illicit whls-
KEY, which was the primal cause of
the tragedy.
Virginia has made good in the Hills
Vile case. The Whole country will
honor the Old Dominion for its fine
work. 1t has given the law new
meaning to those who held it in con-
tempt.

When a negro driver of an automo-

ny heard a strange roaring behind him
yesterday afternoon as he sped over
the ebert road a mile north of East
Point he looked around and discovered
that the truck was a mass of flames.
Without taking time to shut off
power or throw on the brakes. the
frightened negro leaped wildly from
the flying furnace and landed in the
road, doing a few spectacular somer-
saults before he finally came to a halt.
In the meantime the runaway auto, a
veritable ball of fire, dashed wildly
along the road.
A short distance away the car sud
denly stopped of its own accord. The
flames had burned into the machinery.
The East Point fire department. sum-
mOned by telephone, was on the scene
with its truck and soon eXtinguished
the flames. A charred frame and a
wholesale lot of barbecued potatoes,
onions and other vegetables were all
that remained. The auto was insured.
