DR.. Thacker Has Sustained
His High Reputation AS
An Evangelist.
SPECIAL SUNDAY SERVICE.
Meeting Will Close With a
Tabernacle Meeting
At Night.

The revival meeting that is being
conducted by the Westminster church
has been successful in every way.
DR.. j. E. Thacker, of Norfolk, Va,
one Of the best evangelists in the
South, is leading the meeting, and is
assisted most ably by Mr.. James w.
Jelks, chorus leader and soloist.
The services have been held in the
tabernacle and have been drawing
large and enthusiastic crowds. DR..
Thacker is an evangelist of the high
est class. In his work there is moth
ing of the Objectionable features that
are sometimes present in modern
evangelism. His sermons are all d.
rect and to the point, they are Illus
trated from the vast fields of literature
and Biblical history, and little of sent
|imentalism or emotionalism is allowed
to in.
In style he is logical at all times.
His sermons show a careful prepare
ton, and are presented in such a
pleasing and orderly form that they
are easy to follow and hard to forget.
His address is most pleasing. Of ex-
cellent intellect, thorough education,
and polished in speech and manners,
he at all times presents an epitome OF
christian gentleman.
Mr.. James w. Jelks, the soloistand
chorus leader, has all the qualities
that render him a valuable and proper
co-worker of DIR. Thacker. He poss-
esses a delightful personality, is a
good mixer, and has made many
friends during his stay in this city.
He is combination of wit, enthusi-
asm, ability and concentration that
make him especially capable and valu-
able. He has highly cultivated, at
tractive voice, and usually rewards
his audience with two solos each
night.
] Through his efficient leadership ne
has built up a choir of exceptional
merit. Most of the best voices OF the
city are represented at each meeting.
The results of the meeting, which
are now almost concluded have been
most encouraging. Over 600 profess
sions and reconsecrations have been
made. In view of the fact OF recent
revival, this is indeed wonderful
record, and speaks for the ability OF
those in charge.
There will be no services tonight.
On tomorrow there will be double
services-a special men and boys
meeting in the afternoon at 800
o'clock, and the regular and
concluding meeting Sunday night
at 7:45. The afternoon subject
will be, ''What Constitutes
Fool" AS these two meetings are
the final ones of the revival, record
crowd is expected.

Oregon, and Scott Refer Ad-
justment Of u. S. Mexican
Relations to Diplomats.
GEN. CARRANZA BLAMED
First Chief Refused To Lend
Assemblies Not Mean
Rupture in Relations.

FL Paso, Tex, May 12.-After al
most two weeks of discussion the
conference of Gems. Hugh L. Scott,
Frederick Funston and Gen. Alvaro
Obregon, Mexican minister Of war,
over American troop disposition in
Mexico, came to an end Thursday
night without any agreement being
reached.
The whole matter was referred
back to the American and de facto
governments to be settled through
diplomatic channels. Tonight the
situation is almost exactly where it
stood before the conferences began.
The Mexican government still insists
on the withdrawal of Gen. Pershing's
column upon certain date and wants
that date to come quickly. 1t is
known that Gen. Oregon has been
willing to make concessions to reach
an agreement with the American con-
ferees. He has been overruled, how
ever, by the first chief, Gen. Carran-
"a and his advisers. After practically
conceding the demands of the Ameri-
can conferees, he was compelled to
reverse his attitude.
ANOTHER RAID ATTEMPTED.
Marthon, Tex, May 12.-Mexicar
bandits again crossed into American
TERRITORY last night and attacked civil
ians and soldiers. The raid was made
four miles north of Boquillas at al
ore terminal station and directly be
hind Maj. Langhorne's column which
up to that time had not crossed into
Mexico. After a short skirmish the
bandits fled.

here for safe keeping, was taken to
jacksonville for trial Tuesday, but
the trial was set over to next Monday

A Berlin dispatch is explaining the
failure to take .Verdun by claiming
that the French have 100000 men to

Kaiser is getting scarce of men and
is about to admit the foolishness OF
attacking impregnable Notifications

Athenaeum Banquet in Many
Respect an Unusual
Success.
NOTHING BUT PLEASURE
Attendance Slightly Under
Some That Have Been
Held.

In spite of the absence of eight of
the 80 members, due to illness or I'M
avoidable absence, the thirteenth
annual banquet of the Athenaeum
was in some respects the best one yet
held.
The weather was ideal, the arrange
ments faultless in detail, the menu ex-
cellent and well served and the
program one of the best rendered at
any Of the past functions. Messrs.
Noe G Son were ahead of time in the
dining room arrangements and the
only hitch was a slight delay due to
late arrivals. There were two long
tables running north and south. The
speakers were in prominent seats at
the ends of the tables.
President Frank Rives, the toast
master, occupied seat at the south
end of the table on the east side OF
the dining room. Covers were laid
for 81 and nearly every chair was oc-
cupied with a brilliant assemblage OF
ladies and gentlemen. They entered
the dining room at 1886 and the invo-
cation was pronounced by Rev. j. N
Jessup.

The meal was served in three

occupying just one hour. 1t was
in Hotel Latham's best style,
abundant, well prepared and elegant
ly served. The tables were beauti-
fully decorated with roses, carnations,
lilies and ferns and Blakemore's
orchestra played at intervals.
The speaking program began at
$40 and was concluded at 1870, ex-
actly on time. Every moment of the
time was filled with pleasure. Presi-
dent Rives presided gracefully and
after a short review of the society s
past history presented the first speak
er. His introductions in each case
were brief, appropriate and happy.

When One May Go Fishing.

In reply to an inquiry. Assistant
Attorney General Roe has given an
opinion that an owner of land ad.
joining a stream may forbid others
to fish from the bank where II runs
through or past his property. He has
tho right. Mr.. Roe finds, to prevent
trepassing on the land. An exception
to this rule is that or a navigable
stream anyone may land from a boat
or other vessel II the necessity should
arise. As to whether a land owner
can keep a fisherman from angling
in a stream which runs through the
land, where the fishing is done from
a boat, there seems to be some ques.
tion. Running streams are declared
by state law to ne public waters, and
II IS possible that an owner could not
enforce his order against fishing ex.
cept on the banks.
