police say was found just outside the
quarter where the shooting occurred
with dynamite on his person.
Business Places Closed.
Places of business closed last night
when large crowd gathered down town
and trouble seemed imminent, were
opened for business again today. May
or Westcott, however, was expected
TO issue an order during the day pro-
viding for the closing of all places of
business at 8 O'Clock. Citizens also
will be asked to remain at their
homes to prevent congestion on the
streets it was said.
Last nights disturbances were not
in the nature Of mob disorders. There
was no concerted attack either by
whites or negroes the shootings being
isolated and entirely between blacks
and authorities, who were attempting
them TO return to their homes. Large
crowds were on the streets until an
hour after midnight but so far as is
known none participated in the shoot
ings.
Last nights racial disorders were
the third in the history of Springfield.
First in 1904
The first took place in 1904 follow
ing the killing of Patrolman Charles
Coils by Richard Dickson, a negro who
was taken from the Jail and shot to
death. after which his body was sus-
pended from a telephone pole in the
center of the city. Before the rioting
ceased the notorious levee in East
Washington street was burned.
Two years later the city was the
scene of another riot, which followed
the shooting of a railroad brakeman
named Davis, by negro named Dean.
The negro was captured, convicted and
sentenced to the penitentiary. The
/ rioters turned their attention to burn.

BUREAU SEEKS PARITY
 IN FREIGHT RATES

That Alex Hilton, vice president of the Frisco railroad, has the disposi- tion-and intention to do right by Bir- mingham is the impression brought back by O. l.. Bum, general manager of the Birmingham Traffic bureau, who made flying trip to Memphis to talk with Mir. Hilton about rates to and from Memphis.
 Mir. Hilton and I did not come to any final understanding" said Mir. Bum. but I was requested to supply him with additional data, which shah be done. MT Hilton said he wanted to do the right thing by Birmingham and that he intended to do it.H
 Some time ago the interstate com merce commission reduced the rate from Memphis to Birmingham from sI56 to SLIP. Birmingham wishes the same rate declared from Bir- mingham to Mmphis. It also wishes Birmingham placed on an exact par ity with Nashville both ways.

conscience and has a right to select the one to be the life mate and com panlon, even though parents may dis approve. We are not living in day when even daughters are slaves to be disposed of according to the will of another.
 Right 10 Perform Ceremony
 A further question arises as to ec- clesiastical rights and ministerial courtesies. Has a preacher the right to perform wedding ceremony over the protest of parents? The answer IS, If the contracting parties are of age and have regularly issued mar riage license, the preacher has such a right, but it is not always wise It has always been my practice to find out if possible if the parents have given their consent, and in cases where find they have not, l request that the contracting parties wait, and usually it has been possible to ad- just the matter and thus prevent much unhappiness and heartache. A preacher should always be a Chris tian gentleman and every gentleman will respect the wishes of others.
 Pistol Toting
 And now comes another question Is man justified in carrying a pistol because he is angry, feels he has been wronged, or fears violence? A Chris tian can answer this in only one way. look upon gunt toting as one of the most cowardly acts of which a man may be guilty. We are supposed to be in a civilized country There are laws to protect us in our rights. If there are not such laws. we should seek to have them enacted. No man should take the law in his own hands. Shooting is altogether too common in Birmingham. The laws should be made stronger and rigidly enforced. Any man found with firearms in his possession should be apprehended and made to realize that this community will not stand for such. We need a campaign of education in the common decencies of citizenship, not to say the principles of Christianity"
 pr. billiard closed his sermon with plea to his congregation to remem- Der that preachers are only men, and consequently are subject to the temp tstions of sin. He asked that they pass Judgment slowly on the unfor- tunate affair.

The first question I shall discuss is that of religious toleration vs. re- Iigious persecution. As matter of history, the Catholic church has both suffered persecution and inflicted persecution. But that belongs to other countries and other times. In America we have religious freedom. The Baptists had a large part in bringing this about. We demand re- ligious freedom for ourselves. and what we demand for ourselves we demand for others. The Catholics have as much right to propaeate thelr faith unmolested in Birming- ham as anybody else. As long as they do not interfere with the rights of others they should be guaranteed tEeir own In this connection. I might say that while believe in Sab- bath observance, I would not approv ve of forcing people to attend church on Sunday. Church and state must be separated.
 The question arises, is any church or preacher justified in proselyting members of another denomination :? My answer is emphatically, No church has such a right A church has right to preach it's doctrines, but to seek to persuade people by any kind of personal appeal by ap- pealing to their prejudices or fears or hope of reward is absolutely wrong. 1 had rather be yellow dog and bark at the moon than to go to another church and try to dissatfsfy its members.
 Bid Him Welcome
 If, however, a member of another denomination comes of his own ac- cord, stating that he accepts our views and desires to unite with us. we bid him welcome. And every other church and preacher is justified in doing likewise. In the case before us, I have not sufficient information to say whether any undue influence was brought to bear upon this young woman or not. If there was, then Father Coyle deserves condo mnation.
 The next question that arises Is the question of parental authority vs. soul liberty. How far is father justified in dictatfng to his daughter in the matter of religion and in the selection of a husband? The answer is perfectly simple. It is not only the privilege but the duty of parents to advise with their children upon all such matters, but when children be- come of age they have rights to de- eide these matters for themselves. Certainly, they may make mistakes, but it is wrong for us to try to force their wills. We believe in loving. gentle, Christ-1ike teaching and per- suasion, but every man and every W oman has right to worship God according to the dictates of his own
