Elmer Thomas Defends
Ringer From Pulpit Of
Third Church Sunday

Elmer Thomas occupied the pulpit
of the Third Presbyterian church
last night in the absence of the reg
ular pastor. Though he announced
no text or title of his sermon" it
might have been called, Ringer Is
Doing His Best" There were IS
present.
A dozen times he denounced The
Bee for its stand on the present city
administration and he poured out
the walls of his wrath upon one par
ticular reporter.
This was the climax of an attack
on The Bee which went back 50
years Mr.. Thomas told something
of his own career as the champion
OF right and unfolded a touching
drama in which he stood alone play
ing the part of the hero while The
Bee was cast willy -nilly in the un-
pleasant role of the villain,
81 came here from college 80
years ago." he said. within few
months the prohibition fight of 1890
Stdl leu. OHlDltloll was OppOSCu
then as it was three years ago by
The Bee. l fought for prohibition
then as | did three years ago. The
Bee is still in the forefront of battle
as a champion of the evil forces, and
the same men or their successors
are fighting on the same side.
Mr.. Thomas admitted to his hear
ers that there has been much criti-
cism of the present administration,
particularly Of the police depart
merit. But he begged them to be
patient.
"Our city commissioners are try
ii!g to make good" he said ITS no
use t. say they have made failure.
They are doing their level best and
are determined to see the law en-
forced. Would you think of ex-
changing two upright men like Ed.
P. Smith and Dean Ringer for men
like Jim Dahlman and AL Kugel?"

MEXICAN RAID
ON US. SAILORS
ST|RS CAPITOL
While Awaiting Fuller Infor-
nation, Punishment of Amer
leans Murderers Promised
by Carranza.

Washington, July 20-While the
state and navy departments awaited
further information in regard to the
attack and robbery of a boatload of
American sailors from the U. S. S.
Cheyenne in the Temesi river, near
Tampico, Mex. July E, the Mexican
government, through its embassy
here, informed the state department
that it would "omit no efforts in the
prosecution and punishment OF
those responsible" for the murder
of John w. Correll, an American
citizen, and the attack on his wife,
in the Tampico district late last
month.
The message from the Mexican
government, replying to representa-
tons made by the United States i'm
mediately after the attack on the
Correll family was reported, how
ever, did little to lessen the gravity
of the situation. OfficialsN made no
attempt after the message relating
to the Correll attack was received
to minimize the seriousness OF the
situation resulting from the assault
on the sailors who were dressed in
American uniforms and who were
in a motor launch at the masthead
of which was an American flag.
The message from the Mexican
go eminent in the Correll case said:
The Mexican government will
omit no efforts in the prosecution
and punishment of those responsible
for a crime so odious, in the clear
ing up of which it will exhaust all
at its disposal"
In regard to the attack on the
American sailors it is expected the
state department, after receipt of
further details, will ask the Caranza
to apprehend and pun
is, the assailants. If unable to
carry out this request, according to
practice, the Carranza
next will be asked to
disavow the attack.

need MORE OLD
Time RELIGION
SAYS SAv|DCE
Minister Finds Thousands at
Ball Games; Does Not
Choose Billy Sunday
Revival.

Rev. c. w. Savidge of the Peo-
pies church preached last night on
the subject, "a Revival of Old
Time Religion, Greatly Needed in
Omaha"
In describing the kind>of revival
needed, he said: II would not choose
the kind of revival held by Billy
Sunday in Omaha few years ago.
We had 80 members consigned to
this church, but they all got drunk
and got in Jail before we could
handle them"
I'VE want a kind Of revival of
religion that will reform men, that
will change character and will make
good people who are determined to
do right and are willing to obey
God"
To show this the pastor told Of
visiting on Sunday afternoon two
ball games, which had been largely
advertised in the city papers. The
on was held at Miller park. These
clubs represented two great bust
ness houses of Omaha.
At Thirty-second and Dewey
avenue the pastor found vast con-
gregation gathered, consisting of
thousands of people. Here the
greatest activity was shown. The
shouts of thousands of people rent
the air. The betting, it was said,
was heavy on both sides. In these
two vast congregations, made up
of men, women and children. there
did not seem to be thought of
God God was forgotten. In
these games Jews, Presbyterians,
Catholics, Protestants, the world !
and big business contended for vic
tory, glory and money. A devout |
man could not look on that sin with |
out praying to God for HEARTFELT re-
ligion.
Sunday has become a great sport !
day in this city.
