Newspaper Bootlegger
Developed In'Herrin;
Buy Papers on Sly
(By Associated Press)

HERRIN, ILL.,, June 23.-The Will
hanson county mine war has pro-
duced a new type of bootlegger-the
newspaper bootlegger.
Local news stands were informed
late last night that if they sold any
out of town papers containing ac-
counts of thee fighting, they would
be treated roughly. The newspaper
stands promptly closed. Local news
papers published little of the matter,
and in fact nowhere in the county is
less news of the massacre published
than right here, five miles from the
scene of it.
Occasionally person can slip in
the back way of a news stand, just
as is he were seeking a drink, and by
whispering softly to the vender, re.
ceive a package which is hastily slip
ped into cne's pocket. Unfolded, it is
that much sought possession an out
Of town paper with a complete story
of the trouble here.
Needless to say the prices have
risen with the laws of supply and
demand, and real bootlegger prices
| are asked.

Owing to washington's lack Of

securing a place large enough to
meet the tremendous demand which

quest OF the noted evangelist the

the Gypsy Smith meetings were held

thousands were regularly turned

ing on Park Road, just off of
Fourteenth street northwest to-
morrow.
The. growth of this new church
has been astounding. At present
the congregation numbers more
than 500 members. Much credit
is due to the efforts of the first
and only pastor, until the time Of
his death. Rev. DIR. Edward B.
Bagby. The corner stone of the
new church had just been laid
when DIR. Bagby died. This was
in September, 1921. His work was
carried on by the congregation and
is now brought to a close in the
opening of one of the most beautl-
full church buildings in Washing
ton.
Dedicatory services will be held

most proficently. He is not only a
forceful speaker, but a man OF un-

aggressive leadership the congre-

building the church when ii was

of both these men.
