LEGION MAY GET
The TABERNACLE
That Suggestion Made at
Meeting of Heintzel-
man Post

That an effort be made to secure
the Billy Sunday tabernacle for an
American Legion home after the
close of the revival, was the unique
suggestion Of Wnnam Ice at the
meeting Of FREQ Eeintzelman Post
No. IT, American Legion, held at
the Y. M. C. A. The numerous
uses to which the building could be
put came In for lengthy discus
sion and the proposition as whole
seemed fayorably received. Mr..
Ice was commended by Post Com
mander Homer C. Toothman for
his efforts In securing a temporary
home for the post.
The committee of three. who have
been comforting with local civic
bodies with regard to the proposed
memorial and public library, were
authorized to continue their work.
A resolution was adopted giving
the committee more explicit In
structions and pledging the sup
port Of the organization in the
movement. The committee will
again confer with representatives
of,Varioug other organizations next
Monday, night, when it is expected
that definite plans will be made
whereby funds for the memorial
will be raised. The legion's COM
mIttee consists Of Creed Bolyard,
DR.. Cloude H. Layman and Past
Commander RolIo ]. Conley.
The report of the bylaws COM
mittee was given its first reading.
Among the changes proposed are
the suggestion that the post meet
on the second Friday In every
month at 1880 instead Of the first
and third Friday at 8 O'Clock; that
committee chaLrmen may not miss
more than two consecutive meet
ings: that twenty should constt-
tute a quorum instead OF fifteen;
and that each application for mem
bership should be In writing, spon-
sored by two members in good
standing, and should be passed
upon by special committee.

The East Side Delegation
Made Best Show
ing in Attendance

Closing days OF the big. revival
At the Central Christian church are
big days. Last night the largest
week. day audience attended the
service. The East side delegation
that comes the farthest to attend
the meeting brought out the laFg'
est delegation during the meetings.
There has been a contest on for at
tendance. The city has been div1d'
ed into four sections and each has
tried to have the largest delega-
tion, The contest, was in doubt un-
til the last midWeek service which
was last night. This East side
delegation also showed the great
est enthusiasm and last night fur
nished two special selections OF
music. Their quartet was very
much appreciated as was shown by
a, hearty encore. A cornet duet
selection, Lead Me Gently Home
Father" was also a feature Of the
service.
Rev. Gordon who became hoarse
in the early part OF this series OF
meetings has gradually overcome
his. hoarseness and last night spoke
with great power. His sermon on
':Joy Rides" was considered by
many his best sermon. There
were four accessions to the church
at the close OF the service. Mr..
Kendall received these people in
behalf OF the church formerly and
Rev. Gordon prepared for the hap
tism service which was performed
at the close Of the service,
Sunday will be q great day for
the Central Christian church, This
may be the last day Of the meeting
as arrangements have been made
only tofcontlnue the meetings over
the third Sunday, and Mr.. Kendall
must return to his ministry in Lis
bon, Ohio. A splendid program fs
elsewhere announced in this paper.

ADMITTED GOOD
CLIP OF SPEED
But Did Not Believe He
Was Driving Reck-
Iessly

II the street car which he was
following up Main street yesterday
was goin g18 miles an hour, then
he supposed he was going at the
same rate Of speed, was the tacit
admission of guilt made by Walter
smouse in police court this morn
ing. Mayor Conaway imposed q
fine of $5 and costs.
Chief Snider and Patrolman Ford
both testified that smouse was FOL
lowing a street car with a truck
and that when the car turned into
iJsfEersotf -streetSt the Eir1Ver-;shot
ahead, passing three automobiles
going into the direction of the Wat
son hotel, and continued on the car
track at a high rate of speed until
he reached Madison street. Smouse
contended that the governor on
the truck precludes the possibility
OF travelling more than IS miles an
hour. and inasmuch as the car has
been In use for three years, he did
not think It would make more than
is miles. He did not deny going
at a good clip, but was inclined to
resent the charge Of reckless drlV'
ing. Neither was Mayor Conaway
inclined to allow the charge to fall
through any such hair splitting,
hence the fine.
