NORRIS BREACHES
 SERMON ON MURDER
KIuzer Leads Congregation in
 Series of ''AInenS"

Fort Worth. Tex, Aug. - Preaching sermon of the most scathing invective against what he avowed had been a conspiracy against him, the Rev J. Frank Norris yesterday morning for the first time since he killed D. E. Chipps on July IT, made direct reference from the pulpit to the events causing the tragedy.
 Seventy-four conversions were made as the pastor of the First Baptist church stormed against his enemies and then wept his joy in the faith of his congregation. The congregation wept and the profess sion of faith was as great as on the Sunday morning after the killing. when Mir Norris stood in his pull pit and preached from the text that there is therefore no con- demnation in them that are in Christ Jesus"
 How God gave answer to con- spiracy'' was the text yesterday. Opening the services with an inti- mate chat to his audience, which laughed often at his sallies, Mir. Norris continued in scriptural vein on a text from the account in the third chapter of Daniel of how the three faithful were delivered from the conspiracy to slay them in a fiery furnace.
 cx,Jnre Into Cri,f,o
 He preached on until any casual ly curious person, who might have been drawn into the auditorium by the hint given in the advertised subject, probably thought that MT. Norris had decided to preach a strictly inspirational sermon.
 Finally, however, after drawing a lesson from his text, Mir. Norris said:
 Times have changed. We've had some of the same intimations and want to let the world know that three weeks ago-now little more than three weeks ago-a gentleman whose name and address we know. clustered into my study and told me to retract certain things I had said on Roman Catholicism.
 'I talked quietly to him and J. NJ. Gillian stood nearby and will attest the truth of what I say to you now. This man declared that he was a fourth degree member of the Knights of Columbus"
 Mir. Norris, at this juncture called Gillian to his side near the pulpit and asked him to Say whether or not the truth had been spoken.
 Applause and Amens
 Tt was just like that and I also want to say that when he got ready to go he turned and said, There is one way to silence you and we're going to do it., "
 The big church auditorium rang with hand clapping and reverberat- ed with amens as Mir. Norris shout ed his declaration that he had not a word to take back and that he would continue to preach the same doctrines.
 Lloyd P. Bloodworth, Grand Drag on of the Ku klux klan in Texas, satin the front row and spoke fer vent amens at several points of the sermon. It was he who week before last assured MT. Norris that the T<lan is fully in his support.

Frantica1y Dig for
 Treasure, Find None

Abita Springs, La, Aug. 3 Pl- Torrents of rain failed to dampen the ardor of several hundred men and boys who searched for buried gold yesterday and last night on the old Quave homstead, near here. Picks, hoes and shovels were wield- ed without success by the treasure hunters.
 Reports that nearly s5o.o0o fin gold coined more than half cen- tury ago had been unearthed by Ran Quave on the site of the grave of his grandfather, Peter Quave, caused the excitement. Ran Quave has denied finding more than few coins.

DROP MCPHERSON CASE
Too Costly to Continue Investigation, According to District Attorney Reyes.

Los Angeles, Aug. CPl-The Aime Semple aMcPhersen disappearance case investigation has been discon- tinued again by District Attorney Asa Reyes, because, he declared, it would cost the county thousands of dollars to convict anyone of per jury" He also said he considers new evidence gotten at Carmel, an ocean resort north of here, as too vague to be of value.
 Abandoning of the inquiry brought expressions of joy from the Angelus Temple evangelist and her followers. Mrs. McPherson declared she hoped soon to be able to produce conclusive evidence to substantiate her kidnap- ping story. In a sermon last night she recounted experiences from the time she disappeared from Ocean Park beach May IS, to appear at Auga Prieta, Mexico, June 23, and telling of being abducted and her escape from a desert shack.

uty state game warden, has an
nOunced. Instructions to this effect
were received by Mr.. Marshall from
the state fish and game commission

The commissions order affects %
counties Of the state, but it is noted
that some counties in which the birds
are most plentiful are net on the
open list. Sage hens are scarce in
the Gallatin, with the exception Of
the Sedan country. They are fairly
plentiful around Ringling and in
other parts Of Meagher; also in GER
tain sections Of Park county.

Of the occasion to gather in a few
birds. In this connection Mr.. Mar
shall cautions hunters to be certain
they shoot only sage hens, as no
other game birds may be taken at
this time. Mistaken identity will

STATES PRODUCTS
GAIN S25,OOO,OOO
in Value THIS Year
Total Estimated at S35O,OOO,OOO,
AS Compared With $685.
100000 in 1925

HELENA. - The total value Of
Montana products will increase from
$15,OOO,OOO to $25,OOO,OOO in 1926 as
compared to 1925, according to the
division of publicity, department IF
agriculture, labor and industry. The
total value Of all wealth produced in
the state in 1925 is estimated at
about $325,OOO,OOO. The value of
Montana's products in 1926 will be
between $34O,O0O,OOO and $35O,0OO,-
900, an increase Of about $25 per
capita for the year.
Farm Cr ps
Estimated value of all Montana
crops this year, based on present
production prospects for IL principal
crops and current trend of prices is
placed at S121, 100000 compared with
$11O,16O,OOO in 1925 and S126, 100000
in 1924, according to an estimate Of
the statistical division of the state
department.
In estimating an increase of $12,-
100000 in purchasing power for Mon
tana farmers this year, the state de-
partment points out that later de-
velOpment Of crops above or below
! present prospects, or unexpected
trends Of farm prices, may result in
a larger or smaller total value ac-
cording to direction of these factors,
with some probability of an increase
rather than a decrease from present
/ estimates.
In the case of farm crops, wheat,
rye, oats, barley, corn, apples, beets
and beans are expected to show in
creased farm values compared with
last year, while flax, potatoes and
hay will aggregate somewhat less
than in 1925.
Livestock
Montana sales of livestock and live
stock products in 1925 aggregated
| $65, ,173,OO0 compared with S5O131,.
| 900 in 1924. While it is yet too early
to estimate the returns for 1925, the
state department is Of the opinion
that che returns his year will bt
largely maintained, compared will
1925. Supporting this conclusion are
the increases in both lamb and WOO
crops in 1926 and the potential larger
supply Of marketable sheep this sea

market prices for sheep are not ex
pected to average up with last year
