TO return HERE
Evangelist Requested Unanimously
TO Hold Another Series of
# Meetings in October.

DR.. L. D. Lamkins is returning to
the Cairo Baptist church in October.
At a business meeting OF the Cairo
Baptist church, held last evening, 1T
was voted unanimously to engage Dr..
Lamkins for special meeting to be
held in October. So successful was
the meeting held by the noted evan
gelist this spring that the church as
certained before he went away
whether or not he would return for
another meeting. Tt was at that
time decided to wait for one month
before the church should take official
action. None of the enthusiasm of
the spring meeting was lost, as was
evidenced by the large number who
came out last evening to invite the
evangelist back.

Negro Pugilist Gets Year and a
Day and $1,000 Fine for violat-
ing Mann Act.
HAS TWO WEEKS OPPORTUNITY
In Which to Prepare Writ Of Error
and Big Smoke Will Enjoy
Liberty That Long.

Chicago, June 4,---Jaok Johnson,
the negro heavyweight champion,
was today sentenced to one year and
one day in the state penitentiary at
Joliet and was fined $1,000 for a
vic alton OF the Mann act.
Sentence was pronounced upon
Johnson after Federal Judge Car
penter had denied a motion for a
new trial made by the counsel for
the negro pugilist.
Johnson was given two weeks
time in which to prepare a writ of
error and the bond of $4,000 on
which he has been at liberty was
allowed to stand.
A half dozen United States dep
uty marshals who had surrounded
johnson in anticipation of resist
ance by the fighter, when sentence
was pronounced, left the room when
Judge Carpenter announced that
the fighter could enjoy temporary
liberty.
The sentence to the state peni-
Tertiary is the result of recent or
der from Washington, ordering all
prisoners sentenced in the federal
court in this district be sent to the
state prison owing to the crowded
condition or the federal penItEntfafy
at Leayenwurth.

Roads to Ask Permit
To Raise Freight Rate

Following increased pay for locomo-
tive firemen and engineers as the result
OF the arbitration board awards, the
eastern railroads affected are preparing
TO appeal to the Interstate Commerce
Commission for permission to raise
freight rates. 1T is said that the new
schedules soon to be filed with the COM
mission will provide for an average
horizontal increase of at least per
cent.
The proposed increase means another
Dig freight rate fight. A little more
than three years ago the roads sought
TO Increase rates and Eastern and West
ern roads both filed new schedules The
shippers. through mercantile associa-
uons and chambers Of commerce,
fought the increase. Hearings were
held In both the East and the West and
the roads were put to rout.
TEis time the shippers have to meet
the argument that fixed charges have
eeen Increased by the arbitration
awards. that to the engineers alone pay
has been Jumped g, 600 900, and a more
even contest Is expected.
I'm advance of the application. MEM
bers of the commission would not dis
curs the proposed freight rate advances
today. That II is coming does not sur
prise either them or the shippers.
