a profitable one for the principals,
according to the report just issued by
Eugene Hayter, who was appointed
treasurer of the funds. Mr.. Taylor
and his son were in Dallas just a
month, and during the latter part of
their stay here they were joined by
Mrs. Taylor, musician, whose ac-
complishments were a pleasing addi-
tion to the meetings. Mr.. Taylor and
his wife came to Dallas from Los
Angeles and the young man came
from Chicago, in each case bearing
their own expenses. In Mr.. Hayter' s
report distinction is made in the ex-
pense accounts incident to salaries
and that incident to general expense
and rent of the armory. For the lat
ter Mr., Hayter received from pledges
and offering for expense, $339.47.
From this fund $7422 was expended
on general accounts and $135 was
paid for rent of the armory, leaving
balance of $130.25. For Mr.. Tay-
lor's salary and that of his son,
$167.8l was received from pledges
and $33.75 from the "Booze" lecture
which concluded the meetings and for
which the equivalent or an admission
charge was made. These two total
$201.56 and combined with the bal
ance of the other fund, $130,25, rep
resent the total of $331.81 that was
paid the evangelist and his wife and
son.
