floats passing before an assemblage
of 100000 along the Boardwalk; a
review of more than 1000 of the most
beautiful bathing girls in America,
most of them in one-piece bathing
suits, and a Governors ball, at which
were men and women from hundred
cities, was the program which COM
pleted the two days Of Atlantic City's
Fall pageant.
The celebration of the closing of
the pageant began in mid-morning
with the bathers' review on the
beach,. between the Garden and
Steel piers. Girls in the inter-city
beauty contest. society beauties in
the amateur" class, and stage and
movie models of loveliness competed
for the golden mermaid, a $4,000
trophy awarded. to the most beauti-
full bathing girl in America. For the
time being, the censor ban on bare
knees and skin tight bathing suits
was suspended and thousands of spec
tators gasped as they applauded the
girls, who were judged on their shape
illness and carriage, as well as beauty
of face, by Howard Chandler Christy
and corps Of artists from New
York and other cities.
Judging of the bathing girls took
place on the Steel Pier as $4,000 per-
sons looked on. The contests were so
close that the full prize award may
not be decided by the judges until
tomorrow.
The rolling chair parade eclipsed
any similar display ever given in
America. It is calculated that $780,

FLOCK STILL UPHOLDS
KANSAS BOXING PASTOR
Chanute Christian Church Again Re-
jects His Resignation and Of
fers to Increase his Salary.

Chanute, Kan.-The Rev. Earl A,
Blackman's annual resignation has
again been rejected by the congrega-
, ton of the Christian Church OF
Chanute.
Once a year, regularly, since the
war, the Rev. Mr.. Blackman has Civ.
en- his parishioners the choice of &C.
cepting his advocacy of boxing
bouts, dancing and pool, or of hiring
new pastor. While the vote each
year has been heavily in his favor,
it is by no means unanimous.
"You will find me in the boxing
ring, the dance halls, the lodge halls,
the pool halls, perhaps in the alleys,
or wherever men congregate, if ]
continue to preach to the Christian
Church of Chanute," was the ultima
tum contained in the minister's re-
cent resignation.
Not only was the resignation re-
jected, but the congregation voted
it's pastor an increase in salary. This
he refused to accept, declaring he
was amply paid, and that he earned
something in addition to his salary
by refereeing boxing bouts. He
makes no secret Of the fact. Further
more, he declares he has a double
reason for enhancing his earning
capacity" 4
"Twins recently came to our
house," he said. 1T some person is
to be paid for refereeing and I do
the work satisfactorily, I ought to
have the money to help support
those twins.
Mr. Blackman's services as q
referee are in much demand in Kan
sas, Missouri and Oklahoma. His
presence in the ring is regarded as
guarantee of a clean fight. His in
fluence in making boxing popular
sport has been felt throughout this
section. ..,
It was while me was chaplain Of
the 18TH Infantry of the Thirty
fifth Division in France that the Rev.
Mr.. Blackman became a devotee of
the fstic game. He was known as
"the fighting parson of the Thirty
fifth" and justly so, for he not only
supervised btt engaged in many box
ing bouts.
In his own church the Chanute
minister has put into practice his
theory that the Church should spon-
sor both boxing and dancing.

"EMPTY". GUN KILLS
Greenville Man Demonstrates Pistol
To Friend and Wife.

To Friend and Wife.
Greenville, Sept. 12.-As his wife
was in the act Of warning him to be
careful with revolver which he held
to his head, Sam Shelton, 26 years of
age, bookkeeper of this city, blew
his brains out at the house in which
he lived on River street here this
afternoon.
Young Shelton had been exhibiting
the pistol to some friends that were
spending the day with him and had
offered to sell the weapon to one of
them. When he became careless in
handling the pistol, he was warned
to be careful. He then unbreached
the pistol and, as he thought, all
of the cartridges fell out. 1t was then
that he held the weapon to his tenn
pie, apparently to demonstrat, that
there was no harm in it and, pulling
the trigger, shot himself through
the head with the one cartridge that
remained in the chamber.
His wife, having heard the warn
ing of his friedns, stepped to the
door, and as she begged him to be
careful the fatal shot was fired.
Young Shelton lived about forty-five
minutes after he was shot, though the
bullet went clear through his head,
spattered his brains on the floor and
lodged in the wall beyond. He never
regained consciousness, however.
Mr.. Shelton was bookkeeper for
the Riverside Company, concern es-
tablished by his father, S. o. Shelton
several years ago.
