ABOUT KILLING

Charge Against Him.

BIZ United Press
FIT. WORTH, Texas, July a.
Refusing to consider a first degree
murder charge which confronts him
as result of the Staying of E.. Chips,
Saturday, the Rev. ]. Frank Norris,
dynamic Texas Baptist preacher. to.
day continued about his religious
duties.
Hundreds of persons visited the
rectory Of Norris church here to as
sure their pastor of their faith, and
they found Norris silepF regarding
the most recent episode in his color
full history as a minister
Last night and yesterday morning
Norris preached his regular services.
In the morning the church was
crowded while hundreds gathered at

sermons as different was that he was
almost motionless as he stood be-
fore his congregation. 1t contrasted
noticeably with the usual vigorous
gestures which Norris has been wont
to use.
The pastor is accused of killing
Chips, wealthy lumberman, in the
church study, Saturday night, aft.
er an argument. Norris explains the
shooting by declaring that Chips
called and threatened his life unless
the pastor desisted. in his attack on
certain business men. The pastor
used watchman's pistol in killing
the lumberman.
In the morning service-after both
Norris and his wife had conducted
their classes in the Sunday school
the pastor preached from the eighth
chapter of the gospel of Romans.
"Who Is He That Condemns"
who is he that condemns?" the
minister asked
He stood quietly watching the
5000 or more gathered in the church
as he asked the question. The only
noise to mar the spell was the &C.
casional scraping of feet.
"All condemnation was passed on
him, every sin was named on him.
And there can be no condemnation
on those that are in him. If God
is for us who can be against us.
All things work together for him
who Is called to God"
1t was the largest Sunday morn
ing crowd ever in the First Baptist
Church and following the services
hundreds gathered in the rectory--
where Chips had been shot-to
grasp the hand of the minister.

per cent since 1915, according to a
survey in twelve representative
cities, announced by the Department
of Labor today. Their average 1925
pay was $2,215. The lowest paid
classes have received the highest

were or by whom they were made,
the detective failed to reveal.
One, 1t is known, led to a garage
where an auto bearing an Ohio H.
cense, front, and a Pennsylvania H.
cense in the rear, was reported to
have been taken out on several
nights last week and returned be.

The garage and the vicinity were
searched without success.

Check on Gunmen
A check was to be started today
on all the known gunner Of the
killer type, not only in Canton but
in nearby towns and cities, in an
effort to check their movements on
the night Of the murder. The king
of the underworld, who has been re-
ported out of the city fishing" for
the last few days, was back at his
place of business Sunday night.
He surveyed his realm, as is his
wont. from an advantageous corner
near the Tenderloin district. where
he can see in all directions. The
king" has lived IN mortal fear Of
his own life during the last few
years.
Out of the Tenderloin also came
word that many of the divekeepers
would be ready to talk as soon as 1t
is apparent that the investigation is
to be a real one and the whole vice
and graft situation in Canton is to
be cleaned up.
"Sick Of Business"
I'VE are tired of being shaken
down by the grafters and sick Of
the whole rotten business" is the
way one expressed 1t.
The "shakedown" was described
as fee Of $25 a week for each dive.
What the gamblers and bootleggers
have contributed to the ring Is
problematical. But from the esti-
mates of the habitues of the under
world on the number of resorts and
speakeasies, it is estimated the ring
has been receiving between $1,000
and $4,000 weekly.
