PREACHER CONVICTED.
Rev. Irwin Guilty of Conduct Unbe-
coming Minister.

Unanimous decision that Rev. The
odore Irwin was guilty of charges "un-
becoming a minister" was reached in
his trial before the judicial commits
sion of the FL Reno Presbytery at
Lawton, Okla, early last Friday. The
minister, who was formerly pastor of
the First Presbyterian church there,
was indefinitely suspended from the
Presbyterian church, U. S. a. Rev.
Irwin was adjudgcd guilty OF the fol-
lowing charges:
That he disciplined members of the
Lawton congregation without due pro-
cess, as provided by church regula-
tiOn,. That he swore to n false affida-
Wit to obtain an Injunction in district
court restraining interference with his
conduct of the Lawton church.
That he brought disreprte upon the
Presbyterian church as a whole by
wading into public pool garbed in a
bathing suit and marrying a couple,
also wearing bathing suits.
Mr.. Irwin filed his intention to per-
feet an appeal to the synod of Okla
homa.
The trial OF the minister was con-
was made public Mr.. Irwin refused
the right of counsel by the commits
sion, defended himself. a number Of
witnesses were called, most Of them
members or former members of the
Lawton church.
The verdict was reached after an all
day session Thursday, which extended
past midnight.
Charge number four that the pas
tor had not made the proper financial
return to the Presbyterian board pre-
viously was dismissed by the commits
sion.
The suspended minister faces arson
charges after an investigation of an
alleged incendiary fire in the Lawton
church last April, while Mr.. Irwin still
was pastor. 1t is alleged that the mo-
tive 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 enemies
seeking to destroy his church.
Twice he was reported to have Leen
the victim of alleged abductions.
Much of the i'll feeling in the Law

engendered by Mr.. Twins strong
friendship for the late Jake L. Hamon

der Clare Smith Hamon was acquitted.

SOUTHERN ACTS WHITE.
Bio System Stands Ready to Settle
Difference With Shopmen.

The Southern railway, according 10
q Washington dispatch, is now ready
to treat with it's own men. President
Harding's plan is acceptable to that
road for the reason that it did not
withdraw seniority from the men who
walked out, and engaged no strike
breakers.
The Southern had no representative
at the New York meeting of eXecu-
tives Tuesday 1t seems to have been
wedding it's own row.
When told Wednesday that 1t was
reported the Southern would accept
the presidents proposition, Henry w.
Miller, vice president in charge OF. op-
erations, said:
THE policy of the management OF
the Southern railway system has been
to create no conditions, pending ter
mination of the strike, that would en-
barrass the company, its employees or
the public, and with this end in view
no ultimatum has been issued to the
men, no promises have been made, no
new men have been employed, and no
writs of injunction have been invoked.
There is, therefore, now no obstacle
of the company's creation to prevent
it's men returning to work under the
presidents proposals as of their forr'-
er seniority. The shop crafts commit

- Every factor that political experts
base their opinions on indicates that
Senator James a. Reed has been nomi-
mated by the Democrats of Missouri to
hear their standard in November to
succeed himself. With 222 precincts
missing out OF the 3,S4S in the state
Senator Reed was leading Breckin-
ridge Long, former third assistant
secretary of state, by 6,S49 votes. The
vote in 1926 precincts stood; Reed
1S9,391; Long, 1S2,442. In order to
overcome this plurality in the remain
ing 222 precincts it will be necessary
for Mr.. Long to lead Senator Reed by
almost 81 votes in each precinct. In
less densely populated parts of the
the last 100 precinct reports, from the
state, the total number of voters to the
precinct has not equalled 81. Sixty of
the 222 missing precincts are located In
st. Louis county outside of st. Louis
city. In the 16 precincts that already
have reported from st. Louis county
Long had an average lead of only three
to the precinct. In the remaining pre-
cincts from outState reports show that
the Democratic vote was light and MI.
Longs only hope to muster enough
votes to wipe out the senator's lead
would be in heavy vote from the re-
manning country districts. Despite
Reeds lead, Breckenridge Long tells
the Associated Press he is still con-
fident of victory and that nc believes
the official count which began today
will be favorable to him..

The natives have no letters, arts or
SCIENCE" says the report. Conceal
ment of design is the first element Of
safety, and as this axiom has been
consistently carried out for generations
the native character is strongly mark
ed by duplicity. Even in matters OF
little moment it is rare for them to
speak the truth.
They are unstable of purpose, DOM
mated by impulse, unable to realize
the future and restrain present desire,
callously Indifferent to suffering in
others, but profuse in protestation Of
affection and good inter. on, after
wards woefully belied by actions.
THE native IS attracted irTesistibly
by noise and uproarious gaiety; he
loves music, rhythmic sound and mo-
ton, and has pronounced aversion to
silence and solitude, an excessive ex-
citability, and utter lack Of reserve.

mere disinclination of one of the par
ties to continue the union being suff-
cient to warrant it's being dissolved.
