The entire association had pledged
over $160,000 at the end of the day
work yesterday and today more re-
ports coming in would indicate that
the entire campaign will put this
association over 100000. No such
history OF giving was ever written
FOR Baptists in this section of Geor-
gia. Enthusiasm was everywhere
marked to the highest degree and sur
prise for everybody. even the most
optimistic was in store
In Cordele the day opened with a
sunrise prayer meeting which was
attended by over 300 persons. Then
came Sunday School with all the
classes enthusiastic and the largest
attendance lin the history of the
church. Every class had an appro-
pirate banner whose whole spirit was
best exemplified in the word Excel
sior." which one of the classes had
adopted.
AT the Mems H.ble Class the pastor
was ferveut in his message and Mr.
Roebuck, the teacher. had check
for $500 with message from Mrs
George Scandrett which impressed
every nearer that the late George
Scandrett was in this campaign. Al
church services the pastor again pre-
scented most appealing message.
In the afternoon the members and
workers came to the church and
both men and women presided over
the work till all had come and given
their pledges. 1t was a sight impress
sive beyond description. The work
was easy, thorough and widely repre-
sentative in that afternoons effort
It was so well organized and carried
out that it may we'll be said that nc
church anywhere could possibly
have manifested a more unanimous
whole-hearted right spirit.
At night the days efforts was turn
ed into jubilee meeting which PROVED
| wonderfully appropriate and enjoy
able. Every person who had part il
the work of the campaign is happy
today and glad that so fine show
ing could be made.

HUNT FOR SLAYER
Kansas City Police Confronted
by Battling Murder Mystery.
Texas Lieutenant Shot in FASH
iOnable Residence District.

Kansas City. July 23.-The police
departments of both Kansas Cities to-
day are seeking a solution Of the mys-
terious murder early today of Lieut..
Fitzroy Simpson, of Lamesa, Tex, on
boulevard in Mission Hills, one of
the greater city's fashionable resi-
dence districts, lying across the state
line.
Simpson was riding in an electric
coupe in company with Miss Evelyn
Hall when, according to the young
woman's story, a roughly dressed man
leaped upon the running board of the
car. covered them with a revolver and
ordered Simpson to get out of the
machine. few seconds later, Miss
Hall says. the man fired, the bullet
entering Simpsons forehead. Screams
of the young woman caused the as
sailant to flee, and brought a number
of persons to the scene.
Simpson had served for more than
a year as a first lieutenant of artillery
in the Tenth division. He was edu-
Gated in the local schools and in the
University of Missouri. but in recent
years had lived in Lamesa. where his

10 SHOT IN RIOT
Radicals Break Up Hun Major
ity Socialist Meeting.
Try To Lynch Man Who Fired
ShOts-He Escapes.

Berlin, July 22.-Ten persons were
shot during disorders which attended
the breaking up of a majority Socialist
meeting by Communists and Sparta
cans here yesterday.
Those attending the meeting, which
was held in the Trades Union build
ing. attempted to lynch the man who
fired the shots, but he was saved by
hospital helpers who were in the build
ing.
Communists and Spartacans by pre-
arranged plans smuggled fellow radi-
Gals into halls where the majority So
cialists were congregated and there
broke up the meetings by cat calls and
even by violence.
Table and Beer Bottles Thrown.
At countless meetings the majority
socialist speakers gave up attempting
to speak and in the trades union build
ing where the biggest meetings were
held, chairs. beer bottles. glasses and
even tables were flung about in a sue
cessful attempt to break up the
gathering. The communist agitators
in the trades union building jumped
on the stage while Erick Kuttner, edi-
tor of Vorwaerts, was speaking and
made counter-speech
The hall instantly was transferred
in a bedlam which increased as the
opponents began to throw glasses and
other. Suddenly shots were fired.
Some ten persons were wounded, in
cluding Herr Kuttner, who were at
tended by workers and hospital help
ers. The government troops had to
quell riots in other halls.

Thomas J. Mooney Didn't Get
Full Justice, House Is Told.
DensmOre, Justice Department
Agent, Makes Report.
INDICATES A FRAME UP"
Attempt To Discredit Union
Labor Is Alleged. g.
Nothing Consistent About Bomb
Outrage Trial, Report Says.

Washington. July 23.-Thomas J.
Mooney did not receive full Justice in
his trial at San Francisco for alleged
connection with the preparedness day
bomb explosion. according to a report
by John B. De1smore, former special
agent of the department of justice,
who investigated the case for the gov
ernment. The report, dated November
l, 1918, was submitted to the house to-
day in response to a resolution.
Densmore points to several incidents
as indicating the trial was Q frame
up" to discredit union labor. The re-
port was sent tC the house by Secre-
tary of Labor Wilson.
The plain truth is, the report said
that there is nothing about the case
to produce a feeling of confidence that
the dignity and majesty of the law
have been upheld.
There is nowhere anything resemb-
ling consistency. the effort being a
patchwork of incongruous make-shift
and often of desperate expediency."
The report indicates Densmore for
several months had a dictaphone in
the office of Charles NJ. Fickert, San
Francisco district attorney, obtaining
much information.
The reading of the testimony in
the case IS apt to cause one to wonder
at many things" the report says.
The report then enumerates the fol-
the trial:
Enumerates Objections.
THE apparent failure OF the dis
trict attorneys office to conduct a
real investigation at the scene of the
crime; the easy adaptability of some
of the star witnesses; the regular
methods pursued by the prosecution
in identifying various defendants; the
sorry type of men and women brought
forward to prove essential matters of
fact in a case of gravest importance;
the seeming inefficacy of a well estab-
lished alibi; the sangfroid with which
the prosecution occasionally adopted
an untenable theory and then changed
to another not quite so preposterous;
the refusal of the public prosecutor
to call witnesses who actually saw the
falling of the bomb
In short the general Eimsiness
and improt ability of the testimony
adduced together with a total absence
of anything that looks like a genuine
effort to arrive at the facts in the
case.
These things are calculated to
cause in the minds of the most blase
a decided mental rebellion"

That Is What Postmaster w. o.
Rigby Believes.
Colonel Morrow Coming Here
To Pick Out Field.
He is GOVERNMENT AIR CHIEF
Eastern Routes in Operation
Are a Big Success.
Rigby Is Enthusiastic Over the
Future of Service.

Col. Joseph c. Morrow. of Chicago,
chief OF the air service Of the war de-
partment. will be in Topeka in a few
days to make final preparations for
the inauguration of aerial mail serv-
ice here. This announcement was
made today by Postmaster w. O.
RiEby. who has returned from trip
thru the east. Rigby stopped in Chi
caCo on his way home. where he con-
ve1sed with Colonel Morrow regard
ing the establishment of n first class
government landing field here.
The aerial mail service here viii
probably be put into operation about
September /, Rigby said. Just where
the airplanes will fly to and from
here is uncertain. no definite routing
having yet been revealed to the post
master. but it is probable that the air
route will connect only the largest
cities at first.
Chief Himself Coming.
In a letter received at the local post
office from the war department few
davs ago it was stated that Colonel
Morrow would send representative
here to look over the situation. R1gby
SAYS. however. that the chief told him
he would come in person and help
select a landing field. 1t was init
mated that the Washburn field is the
ore most likely to be chosen.
landing field will be selected and
probably the contracts between the
city on one hand and the war depart
ment and postoffice department on
the other, will be signed. providing
an agreement can be reached.
Postmaster Rigby said the aerial
mail established between Cleveland
and Chicago is proving marked sue
cess. Only first class mail Will be
carried at first. 1t was said.
City Must Get Busy.
BY the terms of the contract which
IS now in possession of Postmaster
Rigby in blank form, the city will be
required to furnish. equip and main
tain a landing field of such dimen-
s!ons and in such a location as the
government specifications may desig-
nate. Material for an eXpeditionary
steel hangar will be furnished by the
government. but the construction work
must be done by the city. Equipment
and apparatus conforming to federal
specifications must also be borne by
the city, the contract provides.
r gby said today that he did not
believe the government would take
kindly to the proposition of univer-
sal landing field on which mail. pas
senger and other planes could alight
Uncle Sam will demand a field to be
used exclusively by himself, Rigby be-

For the first time the Mexican peo-

Grimes against American citizens
in Mexico are fewer and of less con-

against Mexican citizens in this coun-

Ford Says His Son Wanted To
Go to War.
Manufacturer Takes Blame for
Dissuading Him.
lE REFUSED COMMISSIONS
Could Have Stayed Right On in
Factory.
But Father Says He Didn't Like
"CamOufIage" Uniform.

Mt. Clemens, July 23.-According
to the testimony of Henry Ford to-
day, his son, Edsel. wished to go to
war, but was dissuaded by his father.
The examination of the elder Ford
who took the stand eight days ago in
his libel suit against the Chicago Daily
Tribune, was concluded.
He was examined by Attorney FL
liott G. Stevenson. for the Tribune,
and by his own lawyer. Alfred Luck
ing 1t was the latter who brought
up the subject of the exemption of
Edsel Ford.
Necessary to Factory.
"WiI you state whether your son
had become necessary to the work of
your great factory when the United
States entered the war in order to re-
lieve you of the detail of 1t ?" asked
Mr.. Lucking.
I'VE have worked together all his
life time" said the witness.
Had he reached the position where
he was great relief to you?'
Yes, he is a great relief to me-"
He personally was willing to go
to war?'
"Yes, he had many offers"
You felt you needed him in the
faetSry?" 3tI2
was he offered commissions in the
army altho he would stay right in
the factory"
Yes"
"On war work."
Eyes, but he declined them"
do you remember saying that you
did not care to see him camouflage;
to wear a uniform and appear to be
in the service. when he was actually
attending to necessary war work in
the factory?"
yes"
Attorney Stevenson asked Mr.. Ford
If he assumed all responsibility for his
son not enlisting.
"Yes, think did" replied the
manufacturer.
"He was more useful to you in the
factory"
yes"
Draft Eoard Disagreed.
THE draft board disagreed with
you?"
It think so.'
THAT is ALL"
John r. Lee. for many years as
ISOLATED with the Ford Motor COM
pany, testified to a conversation at
which Edward Marshall interviewed
Mr.. Ford.
II heard Mr.. Ford say, with some
thing of a shock, that the word
murderer should be placed on the
breast OF every soldier" said Mr..
Lee. He confirmed many other re-
marks attributed to Mr.. Ford by Mr.
Marshall in his subsequent magazine
article.
