SPANISH BALL FANS TALK
TO PLAYERS In LANGUAGE
THAT WOULD SHOCK u. S.
(By Associated Press.)

Madrid, Dec. 16.-The execrationS
uttered by the indignant baseball fan
against the unlucky or awkward play
er in America are as gentle murmurs
compared with the epithets hurled by
the occupants of the gallery at the
contestants in the game of handball
in the Fairgrounds of Madrid
"Rogue!" "Thief!" Convict I'd
iot," are some of the mild terms with
which the players are greeted when
they miss a ball or send it back IN
an easy position for the opponent to
play it.
The reason for this excitement Is
the prevalent betting, in which the
women spectators participate as much
as the men. Professional boomakers
attend all matches and their shouts
of the odds for and against the play
ers are mixed with the cries OF the
gambling spectators until the scene
resembles bedlam.
The fine points of the game are iost
on most of those filing the seats.
What they go for is to gamble and
tho nIayers are merely a means TO
that end.

FEASTING WITH A KING
SUBJECT FOR TONIGHT

Evangelist Browns sermon last
night was one of the most powerful
he has@aelivered thus far In the re-
vival at the Christian church. white
slaves" was the subject. He said.
There are fifty thousand white slaves
under government control, in Toxic,
Japan. They have been sold into bond
age and immortality to pay the debts
OF fathers or uncles who were too
lazy to meet their obligations. In
New York City alone one thousand
five hundred girls dropped into the
underworld last year. There are one
hundred thousand practically home
less Russian Jewesses in New York
alone, a large number of homeless
girls in almost every city in our ma
ton. The mayor of Chicago and 9th
ers established $50 dance halls in that
city few years ago and all of them
either opened into saloons or had IL
cense to sell liquor. $4,000 boys and
girls visited them over Saturday night
and most of them left under the in
fiuence of liquor. What is the church
doing to save them? Mrs. Brown and
I visited the Federal prison at Leav-
enworth, Kansas, and when sixteen
hundred prisoners sat down at the
supper able the guide said to me:
-Four hundred of these prisoners are
here for dealing in white slaves. y
It is time the church was aroused to
a sense of her obligations to this un'
fortunate class of people,"
''F'easting with King or Excuse
Me- will be the subject for this eve
ming. The sermon will be illustrated
With a number of colored slides of the
Kings Supper. There will also be
an illustrated song. Friday night the
evangelist will speak on "The New
Testament Church. This sermon IL
illustrated with large chart. There
will be a meeting Of the officers oil
the church tonight. There were one
hundred and fifty in the Bible school
last Sunday. Mr.. Brown says I'VE
must have two hundred next Sunday.
Every member of the church is urged
to be present and have some one with
them. A photo of the school will be
made. REPORTER.

MERCURY POISON
ONLY CAUSE OF
SHEPARD'S DEATH
(By Associated Press.)

Macon, Ca, Dec. 16.-At the hear
ing yesterday of the four defendants
in the Shepard murder case. Mrs.
Pauline Elemer, Mrs. lone Henry.
Ernest Hopson and Mrs. Annie Cults,
the character of the poison found in
the viscera Of the late peach king
was the chief issue.
The state introduced testimony
showing that bi-chloride of mercury
In large quantities was revealed by
the coroner's inquest. Questions pro-
pounded by the attorneys for the de-
fense indicated that they purposed
contending that this mercury COM
pound might have been the result of
a dose of calomel or other mercurial
medicine in harmless form. The
experts, however, stoutly maintained
that calomel could not be transformed
into the poison found by the coroner.
The prisoners, with the exception
of Mrs. Elmer, were apparently un-
concerned, frequently smiling at the
sharp passages of the attorneys
wrangling over points Of law.
Three medical experts testified that
the death of Shepard could not have
been caused by over-indulgence in
liquor, nor by any ordinary disease.
1t was shown by the testimony of
DR.. M. S. Brown that Fred Crandall,
of Fort Valley, Ga, nephew of the
dead man, was with him on the night
that Shepard was taken to the hospi-
tai, and that Crandall was glorious
ly drunk that night and was i'll for
several days afterwards. The state
contended that young Crandall prob
ably got hold of portion of the
drink prepared for Shepard.
