Allen Franklin Rowe, seventeen years
old. was arrested early today by a
United States park policeman while
asleep on one of the benches in Judi

Faces Arson Charge.
The suspended minister faces arson
. charges filed by the county attorney
after an investigation of an alleged
ncendiary fire in the Lawton church
last April while Mr.. Irwin still was
pastor. 1t is alleged that the motive
| was to gain sympathy in the fight he
| was waging against one section of his
congregation. On the other hand,
Mr.. Irwin attributed the fire to enc
| mics seeking to destroy his church.
Much of the i'll feeling in the Law
ton congregation is said to have been
engendered by Mr.. Irwins strong
friendship for the late Jake l.. Hamon
of Ardmore. national republican COM
mitteeman from Oklahoma, for whose
alleged murder Clara Smith Hamon
was acquitted; Hamon contributed
generously to Mr.. lrwins church and
built an annex in which he installed
motion picture apparatus, which was
used by Mr.. Irwin. Certain members
Of the church protested the use of
motion pictures in connection with
religious worship. Mr.. Irwin alien
ated other members by the funeral
sermon he preached over Hamon.
