Mormonism Crime in South.

Atlanta, Mar. 20.-"Mormonism as
practiced in Atlanta is a crime, not
religion says DR.. H. NJ. DuBose, pas
tor of the First Methodist Episcopal
Church, in an interview this morning.
DR.. DuBose demands an Immediate in
vestigation by civil authorities.
The Mormon missionaries in Geor-
gia have converted hundreds of peo-
pie to their religion within the past
few years. The four elders in Atlanta
alone have made over 200 converts in
this city, and they are planning a
state wide campaign for more men,
bers. DR.. DuBose says, "This cult is
not religion. 1t is crime. These
elders and their doctrines should at
once be investigated by law, sur
pressed by law, prevented from walk
ing into the homes and distributing
their vile literature. They are mere
ly politicians seeking strength for the
vile movement through enslaving
men and women in their grewsome
tolls"
The civil authorities, of course, re-
fuse to interfere with the Mormons
on any ground of religious doctrine
but they say that if DR.. DuBose cares
to make any charge of specific viola
ton of the law, they will take it up.

Curley, of Augusta, has been arrested
and confined in the city lookup here.
He stayed there all last night. The
police state that he was arrested for

was not his failure to meet his obli-

young mans arrest, and that under
the surface something more serious is
involved. However, the police refuse
to reveal anything additional upon
which to base or substantiate story.
Curley is a minor, and up until the
past week or ten days, during which
time he had been here lie had been

ODD FACTS ABOUT CITIES.
Collected by Professor at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin.

Some little known facts about
American cities have been collected
by Prof. R. H. Whitbeck of the geol-
ogy department of the University of
Wisconsin.
That Massachusetts, one of the
smallest states, has more large cities
than any other state in the Union, is
one of the odd facts brought out. 1t
has twenty-five cities with popula-
tion Of $4,000 or over. The state OF
New York has twenty-one cities of
this size, while Pennsylvania has
twenty.
Texas, the largest state in the I'm
ion, has no city of 100000 or over.
There is only one city in Arkansas,
Little Rock, that has over $4,000,
while New Jersey, only fraction of
it's size, has fourteen cities of $4,000.
The peculiar fact that four states
have one very large city, while the
ClIS VI ScCOllu SlLS ID dlL1OoI uuNllO"A,
is also pointed out For instance, ev-
cry one knows that Chicago is the
first city of Illinois and has a popu-
lation of over2 1000, 900, but few know
that the second city in Illinois is
Peoria, only one-thirtieth the size of
Chicago. While Baltimore has half
million population, Cumberland, the
next city of Maryland, has only 49,
900. New Orleans is twelve times
the size of Shreveport, the next city
of Louisiana. Milwaukee is nearly
ten times the size of Superior, the Sec
ond city of Wisconsin. There are now
nineteen cities in the United States
with a population of quarter of a
million each. Only one of them, New
Orleans, is in the south.

Three Old Soldiers Dismissed.

Members of the commission char
ged with the administration of the
affairs of the Confederate home were
Yesterday temporarily restrained
from dismissing three Confederate
veterans who have been inmates OF
the home for several years.
The temporary restraining order
was issued by Judge Ernest Gary
upon petition filed, charging, among
other things, that the three veter-
ans had been dismissed because they
gave testimony before the legislative
committee making an investigation
relative to the conduct of the affairs
of the home.
The veterans dismissed were: W..
C. Cameron, Darlington, 67 years of
age; J. w. James, Richland, 65 years
of age; n. w. Jores, KershaW, 6S
years of age.
The veterans were served with a
letter of dismissal Tuesday by A. NJ
Black, adjutant of the home. The
letter was approved by H. W. Rich
ardson, general manager and treas
urer. The letter was issued upon the
order of J. G. Long, Sr., chairman; j.
n. Crews, secretary; A. w. Todd and
NJ. C. Welch, members Of the COM
mission.
According to the letter the veter-
ans were dismissed because OF a
lack of Accommodations and because
there were more veterans from the
respective counties than allowed by
law. The veterans were requested
to withdraw from the home imme-
diately.
In the petition for the temporary
restraining order it is stated that all
of the veterans have been at the home
for more than two years, that they
are seniors in occupancy to others
from their counties. 1t is charged
that the veterans were dismissed
because they gave testimony before
the legislative committee relative to
conditions at the home.

it was gradually abandoned as a
trading route, and, as there was no
government with jurisdiction over it,
and courts could not be established
there, it became rendezvous for the
worst outlaws of the southwest, who
would run out of there and commit
depredations and then drop back to
the shelter of the neutral strip.

refuge there was the Coe outfit. Its
headquarters were on the Cimarron

BLIND SENATOR GORE.
Wonderful Record of His Struggles
Against Difficulties.

About thirty-five years ago a little
blind boy of eight used to sit in a
humble cottage in the tiny village of
Waltha,l, Miss, and listen with the
especial intentness of the blind to the
reading of his mother and sister.
A few months previous an accident
had transformed him from a sturdy,
gray-eyed chap to helpless young
ster doomed to darkness.
The boy was Thomas Pryor Gore,
and now he is United States senator
from Oklahoma, and one of the FORE
most mem bers of that body.
For several winters after the loss
of his sight, the little fellow used to
make mis- way to and from school,
which was three quarters of mile
away from his home. He had set his
mind resolutely upon an education,
his ambition to rise in the world had
become a burning obsession with him;
he became q child of introspection,
and the gravity of his thoughts re-
fected in his sightless face earned for
him the scbriquet of 1.-The governor"
At high school Senator Cores clos
est companion was boy named Char
les H. Pittman, who used to read to
him. One day they found an old
volume of the Congressional Record.
The boys repaired to the stable, where
the blind student would stand for
hours while his friend read to him
the speeches of the legislators at
Washington.
Senator Gore can recall the mo-
ment when the ambition to be Uni
ted States senator entered his breast,
never to leave it.
On one occasion Gore, a struggling
young lawyer, debated with Senator
Money, whose tongue was a thing of
terror to- all Mississippi and who
smiled contemptuously when told that
his opponent in debate was poor
blind school boy. The senator declar-
ed that had it not been for his antag-
onist's blindness he would have held
him personally responsible for his
words.
To this Gore promptly replied: LET
him then blindfold himself and 1 will
meet him.
One day, when the fortunes of the
young man we're at their lowest, 1t
seemed as though he had come to
starvation. At this juncture an old
negro woman paid 81 which she owed
him.. That saved the situation. His
fortunes began to mend.
He came to Oklahoma with his
mother in 1901, driving As miles.
Bret Harte never wrote stranger
tale than his life in the new territory.
His father became notary public in
the tented city. The blind son, attired
in an alpaca coat, colored shirt and
slouch hat, used to walk up and down
through the motley crowd waving his
hand and shouting: 'Here's where
you get your papers out! Here's
where you get your papers out!" At
night he slept on the ground.
Things moved fast in the new COM
munity. Soon Gore was campaigning
for the senatorship, though he was
moneyless, or practically so. One
day he was walking the street with
his head bowed, wondering whether
after all his terrible struggle he must
be starved out of the political race.
Somebody touched him on the arm.
It was a friend, Thomas Dunn, a
banker. He felt something slipped in
to his hand as Mr.. Dunn whispered
into his ear. PAY this back when
YOU can" 1t was $50, and it made
him senator, for it turned the cor

PRESS AGENTS TALK
OF THEIR SHOWS
"A Forest Fire"

An educational picture produced
under the supervision of officers of
the forest service, will be shown at
the Isis tonight and Thursday. In
presenting this interesting subject the
edison company introduces a phase of
our national work that thousands of
people do not know exists. The pic
ture was taken in the Sierra national
forest in California and shows what q
wonderful work the United States
rangers are doing, protecting u ma
tional forests for future generations
to enjoy and guarding the lives and
property of those who have homes
within their boundaries.
We are first shown one of the prin-
cipal causes of forest fires-that of
careless campers failing to extinguish
their campfire and riding away heed
less of the consequences that are to
follow.
Next we see the lone lookout on top
of the mountain peak overlooking the
entire forest area. He spots the
white haze crawling UP over the dis
tant ravine and sends the alarm to
the forest headquarters over the
phone From headquarters the alarm
is sent to the nearest ranger. IN
turn each ranger is notified and all
arrive at the burning forest M then
begins d fierce fight against the fire;
not by water, but by rake, hoe, brush
and most Of all by fire itself. The
fire getting beyond control, a general
alarm is sent in and help is called

RAILROADS CONQUER
FEARFUL STORM
WORST BLIZZARD SINCE 1909
FAILS TO STOP TRAFFIC
ON ETHER ROAD.
- 49,

Continued snnn,fall- ara- -
gale kept dispatchers busy and train
crews worried yesterday. The storm
in the Bitter Root mountains is the
worst in years and the wind caused
nnending trouble on the Wallace hill,
but hard, untiring work kept things
clear and all day the passenger train
were handled on time. 1t was a hard
fight and it was well fought. The
Puget Sounds last day was a strenu-
Gus one. The snow fell fast and hard
in the Bitter Rnntan-daH4-ana- a gale
of wind added it's share to the trou-
BILE. The snow is from five to II feet
deep on the level n the wind pileo
it up in great drifts along the right
of way, It is the worst storm the
Bitter Root country has seen since
1909.
Despite the storm, though, the road
was kept clear and yesterdays pas
senger trains ran on schedule time.
Three rotaries with double crews are
working day and night along the
mountain line and by sending the pas
senger trains just behind them delays
were avoided. If it were a matter of
clearing the road once it would not be

slant on this division" said Chief
Dispatcher Phelan. AS a matter of
fact both of them gained an hour and
Is minutes between Avery and Mis-
soula. The delay came on the Cas-
cades where the snow was so heavy
that the trains had to be detoured over
the Northern Pacific. 1t was the de-
tour that made the trains late. They
ran on better than schedule time over
this division
The Northern Pacific is not having
much trouble now The main line is
clear and the only trouble is on the
Snake branch. On the Wallace hill
the snow is seven feet deep and the
wind keeps drifting it over the track,
The rotaries are keeping it clear,

The prospects of a letup are not very
bright. The storm is still raging in
the Bitter Root mountains and the
wind is blowing hard on the Wallace
hill. Both roads are equipped to NEE
it, though, and with the storm undel
control will not experience any mort
trouble. Trains will run on time a.
