ALLEGED WILL FOUND

Admission, October 19.-(Special)- Ut was
learned in Admission Saturday that the
claim will probably be asserted in court
that the late r. E. Garner had left no
i other will than the one heretofore ad-
mitted to probate by Judge Thomas w.
Coleman, Jr.
The instrument was found in the stair
way leading to the second floor of the
Wikle building on Noble street. and is
now in the hands of handwriting expert,
who has classed it as a clumsy forgery.
BY the provisions of the document sew
eral changes have been made. among
them a redistribution of portion of the
estate of the late Admission business man,
which was estimated at about $4,000,
mostly of Admission property.
While no court action has been taken,
It is understood that those who would be
benefited by the establishment of the val
idity of a later will are preparing to
hiring some proceeding in court for the
purpose of establishing such will.
The undisputed will, which has been
admitted to probate, leaves requests to
certain hospitals, churches and other
charities in the city of Admission, and
leaves the bulk of the estate to the two
brothers of z. E. Garner, J. d. Garner
a professor in the Texas Agricultural and
Mechanical college at College Station.
Tex, and Rev. G. w. Garner a Baptist
minister of Atlanta.
1t is understood that the document
claimed to be a later will, established
in court, would decrease the shares of
the two brothers OF r. Z. Garner and
would leave a substantial sum of money
to a brother in-law

T|TTON|'S PROPOSAL
ITALYS MINIMUM
Solution of Fiume Problem
Subject of Cablegrams
Between Washington
and Rome

Rome. Saturday. October 1S-There Is
in progress an active exchange of cables
between the Rome and Washington gov
ernments concerning the last project of
Signor Tittoni with regard to the F'iume
and Adriatc questions.
Although Peter j. Jay, charge d affaires
OF the American embassy. has been con-
fined to his room by slight attack of
influenza, he has kept in constant touch
with Premier Nitt and Signor Sforza,
under secretary for foreign affairs, with
whom he is in the most cordial relations
The entire press maintains an attitude
OF great reserve while awaiting the de-
cision of the Washington government on
the question. The Tribuna, however,
thinks the present project of Signor
Tittoni is the minimum which the nation
Is ready to accept and expresses the
hope that there will be definite solu-
ton of the problem, which il says 1t has
kept the people so long in suspense re-
garding the maintenance of peace.
The Idea Nationalist calls the Tittoni
project a monstrosity which does not
take into account the will of the people
OF tiume, who are firmly supporting
Gabrielle D'Annunzo. 1t adds that the
fate of the Dalmatia, if the project is
accepted would be abandonment to
Jugo- Slavia with only the probematical
protection of cara.

These figures appear to refute tho
theory advanced lately that the high cost
of living in France is due largely to the
fact that the people are becoming reck-
less spenders under the influence OF {.
plentitude of money. All classes no doupt
are spending more for Injuries. as well as
for necessities. The working men partict-

I'VE believe the New Testament
church arose out of the needs OF the
people. 1t was not something handed
down from heaven. neither was it
something imposed upon the people by
ecclesiastics. 1t is a mistake to talk
about when the church was set up.
The fact is that it was not set up at all.
1t grew. Two disciples followed Jesus;
this was the beginning of the New
Testament church. Then there were
dozen; then hundred; then 5000.
then 5000 then a great multitude. And
so the church grew. The character of

can serve or glorify Christ is by min

tain fundamental needs that TIE
church must meet or confess failure.
Men need to worship; they need tn

eternal things; they need fellowship;
they need to give expression to their

The church must be run by the

pie. The New Testament church was
a democracy. All are to have part
in all the work of the church; all are
to contribute to its support; all are
to share in the ministries of tho
church; all are to be soul winners. The
reason our churches do not accom-

few do all the work. This is wrong

the southeastern department relative
to this matter. After explaining the
object OF the gathering, the meeting
was thrown open for discussion, with
the result that the following was de-
cided upon:
A permanent organization of local
aviators is to be formed. the first of
fetal meeting of which will be held in
the lounge room of the Civic associa-
ton next Friday evening at O'CLOCK

Brief Account of Sermons
Preached at Local Churches

Peter made a failure. he learned by that
failure to trust in the Lord. II we fail to
walk through temptation II is because we
do not keep our eyes on the Lord.
I'VE walk through trials and troubles
triumphantly. thinking 1t is ourselves that
did it, but it is God. Give God credit
for it"
Saying that without venture, from fail
ure there can be no recovery, and he said
there can be no recovery except by look
ing to Jesus
Jesus is the objective. the very central
figure of our religion" said Dr. McNeiu
Peter failed because he put the Lord
back in his person. and when the Lord
asked him why he doubted, Peter had
nothing to say. Unbelief has no excuse
to offer in justification of itself. This Is
the place, when sinking, TO test proverb'
ial philosophy, and the Bible often con-
tradicts 1t.
His first thought caused Peter to start
out on the water. His second thought
caused him to sink. Our first thought -
a good impulse-to give. to do some
thing for the Lord. Our second thought
born of prudence. kills IT.
After it was the Lords strong right
arm stretched out to Peter that saved
him. It is the strong right arm OF the
Lord that held and upheld Peter and 1t
Is the strong right arm of the Lord that
holds and upholds u.s."
