"old Glory Face" Now Mis-
sion Worker in st. Louis,
Tells Pathetic Story of
His Regeneration.
AUDIENCE is sWAYED
~
Dramatic Force of Cards Ap-
peal is Felt When He Pleads
With People to Give
Selves to Christ.

Ed Card threw the 1000 persons
gathered under the great tabernacle
roof into tears last night as he told,
in brief, the story of his life. It was
tale stranger than fiction. It was
wierd, romantic, happy IN turn. He
talked with a Observation-Disclosures
that was convincing and with an ease
and grace, peculiar to himself, that
was almost enchanting.
Card makes no pretentions as an
orator or a preacher. Perhaps that is
why he is, in reality, brilliant speak
err He put his whole heart into every
word, it seemed to those listening. In
fact, every word was heart throb.
He was not boasting Of "checkered
past" On the other hand, he was
holding up a CHASTITY experience, 60
ing back through a vale of heart
rending years, in order that he might
give to Keokuk his final assertion
ssoken with the zeal of Luther, that,
Christ has been my constant COM
panion for nineteen years. He saved
me. He will save you"
Following is the story told by "Old
Glory Face" the same appealing tale
that has inspired hundreds of the
denizens of the underworld to "go it
straight" the story that has made
thousands OF respectable church folk
ashamed at their own laxity in mat
tiers religious:
The Story Of Old Glory Face.

Numerous Delegations From keokuk
Sunday Schools Were on Hand
to Hear Evangelist Preach

Charles Reign Scovilles tabernacle
was crowded to the guards last night.
The largest Tuesday night crowd of
the campaign was present. Fifty-four
persons made the trip down to GLORY
row." fitting the total number of
trail hitters to 1921.
The feature of the service was the
fifteen minute talk of Ed Card, noted
mission worker, and his singing. For,
Notwithstanding the fact that his
voice is far from being trained
one, "Old Glory Face handled 1T
with an artistry all his own and the
big crowd cried, just sitting there and
listening to him sing:
GLORY, glory, there is glory in my
soul;
Each day brighter grows and I con,
quer all my foes,
Glory, glory, there is glory in my
soul,
There is glory. glory, glory in ny
SOUL"
Card was assisted in his song by
Mr.. Lillenas and later, in another, by
Mrs. Scoville.

The building rang with applause as
the men arose. A few stood only
after several minutes had passed and
Scoville had urged all who really
intended to cut the booze" TO arise.
These latter few hit the trail' at
the close of the sermon.
There isn't man here tonight"
cried Scoville, who can't be saved.
We have the same old Jesus, the
same old gospel,the same dear father
and the same dear son. Ed Card was
saved. You can be saved IL you'll
tear loose and come to Christ to-

Many DELEGATIONS Present.

Numerous Sunday school and mis-
sion delegations were present. e. L..
Aldrich's Pauline" class from the
Christian church was out en- masse
with nearly $50 persons in line and
numerous fiaring banners. The young
mems class and the young women's
class of the First Baptist church,
each the largest of its kind in the
state, were there, as was Mrs Nc
Allister's class from that church.
Other delegations were the Willing
Workers" and "CI-C" classes from
the Methodist Protestant church, the
STANDARD Bearers" class from the
Trinity Methodist church, the Berean
class from the Westminster Presby-
terian church, the prison service and
mission workers of the city, and the
Olive Circle class from the Baptist
church.
Each delegation had a motto and
each was called unon by the evange-
list to make IL known to the audi
ence. Scoville had some bit of humor
to fling at the crowd with the recog-
milton of each class or delegation.
In introducing Card he said: I'VE
have Old Glory Face with US to-
night. He isn't called that unkindly.
You say it like a boy calls his best
girl plumb puddin' or an angel
food cake or peach, you know"
The crowd applauded and laughed.
"Mr. Card" said Scoville. was born
in Canada, but it wasn't his fault.
They didn't consult him. Let's give
him cheer"

Those Who Cut Out Liquor.

After Card had concluded fifteen
minute talk which threw the great
crowd into tears and cheers, Mrs.
Scoville sang, "He is Able and Will
ing to Save" Then the revivalist
preached for twenty-five minutes. He
talked along the subject of the pente-
costal meeting in Jerusalem. Before
beginning he asked how many men
were in the crowd who had at some
time in their lives drank liquor, but
who had "cut it out for good" to
stand. Men stood in all parts of the
tabernacle. Some we're well dressed,
prosperous looking men Of the bust
ness world-men who showed plainly
that they had long since mastered
the adversary and were going it
dry" Others showed, too plainly.

Many on Glory Row.

Seat after seat was vacated by
ushers, their occupants taking places
in the choir loft or near the front of
the building to avoid clogging the
aisles as the trail hitters took their
places in the rows of seats.
One young girl almost ran to the
front. She smiled happily as she
reached up for the preachers hand.
She was accompanied by girl
friend. The friend was smiling, too.
1t was the last Tuesday night ser
vice of the Scoville campaign. 1t
was by far the greatest service for
Tuesday night of the entire meeting.

it was announced. An Offering was
taken for him last night. All he
asked for coming to Keokuk was his

BUNCH TRIAL
NEARING END
Evidence to Be in Today and
Jury May GET Case
Tomorrow.

MUNCIE. Ind. July 26.-The evil
dence in the case of Mayor Rollin
II. Bunch, who has been on trial
for nearly four weeks on a charge
of conspiracy TO solicit and accept
brides, will be finished some time
Wednesday morning and the case
should get 10 the jury by Thursday
noon, if Judge Blair allows each
side only the usual four hours for
arguments.
Some unusual excitement was lent
10 the trial Tuesday afternoon when
Patrick Roman, one of the specta-
tors. was fined $500 and sentenced
TO 10 days in jail by Judge Blair
for contempt Of court. While Mayor
Bunch was on the witness stand
Roman arose from his seat and in
a loud voice yelled Hear Mayor
Bunch. I'm the mayor of Indian
apolis.'
During the closing part of Mayor
Bunch's direct examination, pent-up
feelings of more than a year against
what he has termed ''unwarranted
and unjustifed prosecution" broke
forth from the witness in an ar
Iaignment of the prosecution. Mayor
Bunch's cross examination at the
hands Of Special Pros. W. A. ThOmp-
son lasted nearly two hours. but at
the end of that the accused official
emerged unscratched and il was ad-
mitted that the mayor made a good

HOLD BRITISH CRUISER
WITHIN HER RIGHTS

WASHINGTON, July 26.-Ohicials
here were inclined to believe Tuesday
night that the British cruiser which
made an incursiOn into Hampton
roads early Tuesday had acted wholly
within her rights under information
al law Although official comment
viii be withheld pending receipt of
the naval report of the incident, it
was indicated that the version con-
tanned in news dispatches showed no
violation Of American neutrality or
navigation regulations.
A warship of a belligerent nation
may enter the territorial waters Of
a neutral with impunity.
The view here was that failure of
the cruiser TO touch shore made it
permissible for her 10 enter the roads
without formally notifying port Off
cials. Considerable interest in the
cruisers exploit was expressed among
officials. Although the United States
government is taking all legal steps
10 prevent the Deutschland from be-
ing handicapped in her departure
by dissemination of news of her in
tentiOns. il generally is supposed thai
the allied patrol off the capes has
means of keeping informed up to the
time of her sailing. at least.

NEW YORK, July 26.-Eforts of
the federal health service to prevent.
if possible the spreading of infantile
paralysis TO cities and towns outside

cial word of his desire that the sem

that disposition of the bill when the

Whether Pres't Wilson's influence
will be sufficient to put through the

WAITE lNFLICTS WOUND
ON SELF WITH GLASS
Found i'm Death Cell With Cut in
Shape of Cross on His Chest
Not Serious.

SING SING PRISON, n. Y, July
2G-Dr. Arthur Warren Waite. await
ing electrOcution here for the muir
der of his father-in-law, John f.
Peck. of Grand Rapids. Mich, was
found in his cell in the death house"
Tuesday night bleeding from a
wound in his chest made in the shape
of a cross. The prisoner had cut
himself with a piece of broken glass.
How Waite obtained possession Of
the glass could not be explained. 1t
is presumed while exercising in the
court yard he picked it up when the
vigilance of his guard was relaxed
and concealed it until he returned to
his cell Waite was removed to the
prison hospital, but he steadfastly
refused to answer questions. The
prison authorities believe if he had
intended to kill himself he would
have inflicted the wound elsewhere
than on his chest.
