Big Crowd at Cross Roads

Last Sunday was a great day
at Gross Roads church. The
congregation was very large
more than could getin the house
and the behavior was perfect,
both on the inside and outside of
the church. A deeply solemn
and spiritual atmosphere perva-
ded the congregation as the pas
tor outlined the Journey of HUI

and tears flowed freely as the
past was so vividlv recalled.
Cross Roads has bright fu-
ture, and unless the old devil can

vided, victory for the Lords

Not Strong On Detectives

We cannot but feel sympa-
thy with the people of that
Georgia town who got together
and proceeded to throw spoiled
eggs at the mighty w. j. Burns,
detective, when he came into
that region to gather upevidence
in the Frank case. Whether
Frank murdered Mary Phagan
or did not murder her, Of this
we feel sure: The whole detec-
tive business is on a shaking
foundation. One cannot escape
the conclusion that they are "a
sorry bunch, taken as a whole.
A fellow who is always : 'snoop-
ing" around and looking for
/ evil things will. we believe, find
them whether they exist or not.
We would not belieye one OF

tive game is more or less Of q

READY
FOR THE FUTURE
STATE LEGISLATURE AUTHORIZE
ISSUANCE OF BONDS FOR Ex-
PENSE OF MILITIA.
TO END THE STRIKE TROUBLE
Difficulties VIII Be Taken Care of in
the Future Without the Necessity
Of Federal Aid.

Denver, Col.-Despite the fact that
President Wilson asked for action the
Colorado Legislature was on the
point of adiourning.
Governor Ammons in a message to
the President said that as soon as
bonds, opposed By the Assembly,
could be authorized the Legislature
would adjourn.
President Wilson warned Governor
Ammons that the state Of Colorado
must be prepared to maintain peace
in the coal miners strike districts
without Federal aid. The President
said Federal troops would remain. in
the troubled district "only until the
state of Colorado has time and op-
portunity to resume complete soyer-
eighty and control"
Il cannot conceive that that state
is willing to forego her sovereignty
or to throw herself entirely on the
Government of the United States"
said President Wilson.
In response Governor Ammons tel
egraphed the President that an extra
session of the Legislature, just ad-
journed, had provided a s1,000,000
bond issue to cover past and future
expenses of the state militia The
Governor expressed confidence that
as soon as these funds are available
the state will be able to control the
situation.
1.-THE Colorado mine districts have
been under virtual martial law for
months Previous to the arrival of
Federal troops three weeks ago the
miners were guarded by the state
militia. After the militia and strik-
ers participated in a battle at Ludlow
on April 20 when 81 were killed and
after other serious conflicts the
militia was replaced by Federal
troops.
OF the s1,OO0,OOO provided by the
bond issue referred to by Governor
Ammons, s691, ,GG0 has been spent in
past expenses Of the militia.

SAYS HUERTA must
EXPLAIN At ONCE
NEWS OF THE FATE OF PRIVATE
SAMUEL PARKS MUST 1E
GIVEN.
"IT WAS A HOSTILE ACT
II infantrynaan Was Killed ae Report
eds Considered Breach OF the
Armistlce

Wasbington.-The United States has
demanded Of the Huerta Government
news of the fate of Private Samuel
Parks, the American infantryman, who
strayed into Mexican lines near Vera
Cruz, declaring that unless informa-
ton about him was given Immediately
the American Government would con
slider that "an unfriendly and hostile
act" had bean committed in violation
Of the understanding for a cessation
Of hostlities pending mediation.
President Wilson and Secretary Bry-
an, it was learned, drafted a strong
communication, after receiving word
from the Brazilian Minister in Mexi-
co City that Parks had been "execut-
ed"
No mention was made in the Min
listers report of whether he was shot
as spy after court martial or
whether his body was burned as has
been reported peristentiy to General
Funston.
The American Government cabied
the Brazilian Minister to inform the
Huerta Government the strong feel
ing of the United States in the matter,
directing him to make vigorous rep
resentations concerning the incident.
The note asked the Minister to pro-
test to the Huerta Government that II
Parks were alive, the failure to e1-
plain his whereabouts was in itself an
unfriendly attitude and that If the
soldier had been executed, as has been
reported, such execution OF a man
who came into the Mexican lines IN
full uniform was contrary to m1lltry
procedure of civilized Nations and was
an act of hostility.
No mention was made in the Amea-
can note of the course the United
States intends to pursue in the matter,
but an official close to the President
said it was one Of the things which
would be held up against the Huerta
Government when the final reconlng
came over offenses committed agalnsI
the United States.
The receipt of word by the British
Embassy from Sir Lionel Garden,
British Minister in Mexico City, that
+ r. Silliman. massing American Vice
Consul. was on his way by rail from
saltillo to Mexico City brought the
first news about silliman in several
days. considerably relieving anxiety
that had been felt by officials. The
British Vice Consul at Saltillo teie-
eraphed the information to Sir Lionel
Garden.
