An Unusually Large Crowd Of Mel
Hear Sunday Afternoon Address
to Men Only in the
Tabernacle.
TABERNACLE FILLED AT NIGHT.
DR.. Bromley Takes Mask off Sin
That all May See, at the
Evening Service.

Dr.. Bromley was as direct as sun
light last Sunday afternoon. No on,
had to guess what he meant whel
he spoke to a great crowd of men ant
boys. His text was found in ::
Timothy 5:22, "Keep Thyself Pure.
He then proceeded to give some rea
sons why such lecture should b.
given. DR.. Bromley believes il
frankness. He believes that par
ents should be frank with their chill
dren concerning the delicate sub
jects of life. The average boy gets
his information from the street ant
lit is a debased view and told in vul
gar language. Parents should for
tify their children to meet the dan
gers Of the adolescent period, tina,
they may pass safely through to E
useful and holy manhood and WON
anhood. The next great moral cru
|sade after the passing of the saloon
will be along the lines of socia
purity, declared the speaker. Be
interested in the children for the is
sue involved. The opportunity tc
save the boys from RIGHTEOUSNESS
and ruin is the greatest thing that
could be brought to this city and
this tabernacle meeting is going tc
do just that thing. Our nation is
rapidly losing it's memory and secret
sin is to blame for it. Look al
your insane asylums. 80 per cent
of the inmates are there because OF
sensuality. Therefore the question
is rapidly becoming one of political
economy, for it is the tax payers that
must keep up these institutions
Parents are too ignorant of what
their boys are doing. "Investiga-
ton was made into the moral con-
dition of Chicago and a request was
made that the report be not circulat-
ed throughout the mails" said the
speaker as he again waived the
danger signals. He went after the
crowd that stands on the street corn
er and makes comments about pass
ing women. They say, Every
woman has her price" What do
you say? Its a lie," came from
a number of men in the audience.
at is lie," said the speaker, and
he became so warm that he took off
his coat and asked, docs anyone
want to fight? If there is let him
come on
The crowd cheered as he nailed
that lie. He put his coat on again
and concluded that there was no use
bringing out a AZ centimeter when
a BIB would do the work, so he pro-
ceeded with the remark, any man
who will fight purity and the high
standard of life for which the taber-
nacle stands has something rotten
in his life. 1T is no more necessary
for a man to go wrong than for a
~snss~4. ses

BANK COMMISSIONER
 ASKS COOPERATION
Mir. Davis Writes Every Prose- cutting Attorney in State Re questing Stricter Enforcement of Law in Safe of Securities.

Little Rock, June 30.-State Bank Commissioner John NJ. Davis has written letter to every Prosecuting Attorney in the state asking his CO., operation in the stricter enforcement of the law against the sale of ques- tionable pr worthless securities to the people of the state. The evil has been very largely overcome, but still re- ports are frequently received of the operations of such agents, Mir. Davis desires their cooperation and off, cial authority toward a rigid enforce ment of the act, and in cases of vio- lation believes the imposition of the penalties provided would be a whole some remedy"
 In discussing the evil, which more or less appeals to everybody in the state, since all are at some time ap- preached by these fakirs, Mr Davis says:
 This department has complaints and inquiries from various sections of the state, and not infrequently, too, that some solicitor for sale of invest ment securities has appeared in that vicinity, and by any sort of repreaen- tation has prevailed upon someone who can ill afford to lose to place some money in an enterprise, the merit of which the purchaser knows not nor has any means of acquiring knowledge. He finally decides he has been swindled, then he writes this department to know if such and such securities have been authorized for sale under the Blue Sky Law. and often our reply is that we have no record of such concern. Result is the investor has lost his money and the solicitor is beyond the realm.
 "A misdemeanor has been commit ted and the purchaser is or ought to be made the prosecuting witness and the seller ought to reimburse the pur- chaser fully and pay fine not more than $1,000, and may be imprisoned
 This department has been literally flooded with wildcat schemes dis closed in their application for author ity to offer their securities in the state, and we take pride in saying that the applicants refused have asked the privilege of selling more than q million dollars of questionable secur- ities to our people Their undertak- ing in most cases had a reasonable ring of business in them, but the cor porate partnership status was such a: to indicate great unfairness to the purchaser.

last note, no offer of med iation would be acceptable to the United States. The minister called to see whether release of the Carrizal prisoners had changed the attitude of the Washing ton government.
 The governments attitude on this question is that arbitration is whclly out of the question; that the United States has nothing to arbitrate. If Gen. Carranza should withdraw his hostile orders, however, and then pro- pose that an attempt be made to for mulate through mediators an agree ment for joint operations in protect ing the border, it might receive con- sideration. No plan would be accept able to the United States, however, that in any way hampered its own efforts to guard the lives and prop erty of its citizens.
 The right to pursue raiders in Mex leo will be exercised without interrup- tion, and if the border can be prop erly protected only by temporary mil itary occupation of Mexican territory, that will be the course pursued
 Tension Relaxed.
 It is understood that the Washing ton government would not under any circumstances consent to a military status quo during a discussion of pos siblc cooperative measures.
 Officials indicated they had little hope that an agreement for co-opera- tion could be arranged.
 The temporary relaxation of ten,.on here was indicated today by President Wilson's trip to Philadelphia to oe- liver an address Mr. Wilson return ed tonight and one of the first mat ters to receive his attention will be the National Guard draft resolution adopted by Congress today.
 Under the authority conferred by the resolution, the president may 3D. ply the draft to guardsmen by Iro- clamation at his discretion. When he will take that step has not been de- cided
 The War Department had little de- finite information today as to the pro- gress of the guardsmen toward the border, although messages announc- ing the departure of various LII it's poured in from all sides. Gen. Fun ston's headquarters now is the only place where accurate information is available as to when any substantial part of the state troops will arrive On the line.
 There was no additional report from Gen. Pershing as to the Carrizal fight.

VITAL ISSUE BETWEEN MEXICO AND UNITED
 STATES NOT SETTLED
Future Altitude Toward U. $. Troops Important POint-Car- ranza Must Comply Fully With Demands Made.

Washington, June 29.-The Wash ;octon government still awaited to- Digbt full compliance with its de- mands by the de facto authorities of Mexico.
 Release today by Gen. Carranza's order of the American prisoners talk on at Carrizal has averted the proba- Eility of immediate retaliatory steps.
 t is possible that it has also helped to pave the way toward an attempt at peaceful settlement of the whole borGer situation. High officials made it clear, however, that the vital point at issue-the future attitude of Mex ican forces toward American troops in Northern Mexico engaged in guard ing the border and pursuing the ban dts who raided American territory remains to he settled.
 The State Department had had no advices tonight as to when a dipio- matc reply to it's demands might be expected. The Carranza government has adopted the unusual course of complying in fact with an urgent Ge- mand from foreign government be- fore it even acknowledged receipt of the note or made any statement of Wha; 1t proposes to do.
 Pending q satisfactory answer to its second and more far reaching re- quirement, the United States will con- tinue to hurry troops to the border and to take every step necessary in preparation for the carrying out of its purposes by force of arms.
 limitations have come, it Is under stood, that Carranza intends to back up the orders issued to Gen. Trevino directing that American troops be at tackled if they moved in any direction m Mexico except toward the border Officials expect, however, that the re- affirmation of this position will be made Tn note free from hostile lan- guage and continuing the discussion Of the advisability of the withdrawal Of American troops from Mexico.
 Not Ready for Arbitration.
 Apparently Secretary Lansing is determined to get a clear statement ot intentions. on which action by the United States can be founded.
