s. TROOPS To
LEAVE MEX|C D

WASHINGTON, D. c., May A.
Administration officials today charac-
tcrized as satisfactory General Scott's
report on the Mexican situation. The
communication was laid before Presi-
dent Wilson by Secretary Baker early
today, being discussed informally by
other officials present.
While official announcement of de-
tails of the agreement has not been
made, it is understood this afternoon
that the document provides for the use
of Mexican railways by United States
forces, one of the chief needs of Gen.
Pershing's troops at this time. The
cooperation of Carranza and United
States troops in cleaning out Villas
bandits is also provided for and the
provision is inserted that American
troops in Mexico will not penetrate in
to that country beyond the south
ernmost outpost established by Gen.
[ershing.
The withdrawal of United States
military forces from Mexico, one of
rnain contentious of Carranza, is not
t. occur Immediately, but Gen. Scott
has agreed to order territory now oc-
cupied by American troops evacuated
as soon as Gen. Carranza becomes con-
vinced he is able to properly protect
the United States border. There may
be some slight changes made in the
agreement by officials here, but in the
main, it is conceded to be wholly salts.
factory, and further trouble between
tie de facto government and the Unit
ed States is no longer anticipated.

NOT GUILTY IS THE
.LORIMER VERDICT

CHICAGO, May 4.-William Lorimer
former United States senator from Illi-
nois, was last night acquitted by a jury
on the charges of embezzlement and
conspiracy. The prosecution grew out
of the failure of the LaSalle Street
Trust and Savings bank, and the hear
ing of the case consumed seventy-nine
days. The jury deliberated only six
hours before returning it's verdict.
Lorimer, who lost his seat in the
United States senate after sensa-
tional hearing the result of which his
seat was declared vacant, stated fol-
lowing the conclusion of the trial to-
day that he will start at once to ac-
cumulate money necessary to reim-
burse depositors who lost in the sus-
pension of the bank, and declared that
eventually all of these will receive
their deposits dollar for dollar.

pr. Early.'s Address
 To Laymen' 5 Conference
 Baptist State Convention


 The chief address of the Arkansas Baptist Laymen's Convention which met at Malvern Dec. 4- 6 was deliv- cred Monday evening, Dec. 4 by Rev. J.T. Early DD., pastor of the First Baptist Church of Little Rock.
 Dr. Earlys subject was, The New Testament Church and It's Mission E in the World He used as a Bablical text the passage found in the 18th verse of the 16th chapter of the Go spel by Matthew. His message was one that had mastered him and he showed by his delivery that he was fully convinced of the truths he was advocating. He dealt carefully and somewhat minutely with the four great theories of the beginning of the New Testament Church and drew from each theory a conclusion as to what it's mission is. The four the ories discussed by Dr. Early are as follows;
 First. The New Testament Church had it's origin in Abraham and the prophets during the Old Testament dispensation.
 Second. The Church was founded by Peter the Apostle,
 Third The real origin of the church is to be found in the work done by fhe followers of Jesus on the day of Pentecost.
 Fourth The final theory, which he maintained to be the only one supported by the scripture, is that it was founded by Christ Jesus him. self during his ministry among men.
 He supported this theory by more than 50 passages of. scripture and by many other well chosen arguments.
 Mr. Early handled his subject with skill and showed that Re had made a careful study of the Bible from the standpoint of a Baptist student. A cosmopolitan audience heard the address and the speaker had the thoughtful attention of them during the hour and the ovation giv- en him at the close of the service showed that the largest part of tbe congregation believed his message.
