FOUR SQUARE CAMP. LAKE
TAHOE. Cal, July 1S.-My one
mission in life is to preach the
gospel and help needy persons who
come to our door.
Circumstances have placed me in
the limelight in other ways ana il
is the torture OF my heart that such
is the case. Really and truly IL
could carry out my desires I'm.
hampered- preach about Jesus and
relieve suffering would be the
happiest person in the world.
Wants Public no Forget
With all the smoke screen Of
publicity and gossip which has
been thrown about. me in the last
rev years my real work has been
lost sight of.
versies and heart-breaking situa-
tions, but I want to foreet them
and I'd like the public to forget
them
An evangelist is what / want 70
pc and nothing else. And I'd be-
happy II the public would interest
themselves In my work and rejoice
with us in the wonderful growth:
thousands OF souls that are being
saved at our meetings: the heavy
hearts that are being made hannv.
the sorrows that are being brushed
away and the misery that il being
relieved.
I am supremacy happy in nv work
assisted by my two children whom
love more than life, ana nv
greatest request is to be let alone.
Marriage Changed Her
Twenty years ago I was a high
school girl living on 4 Canadian
farm and doing ordinary small
chores Of farmers daughter. Had
it not been for my conversion and
my marriage to evangelist Robert
Semple, we naight still he nnrs,,inr
that uneventful life
My. marriage to the minister who
had led me to Christ Changed oI,r
lives, 1t led me, by nv husband's
side. through Canada and United
States. through Great Britain and
at last to China where my mission.
airy husband laid down his life
enc month before our daughter was
born.
1t led me back again IN the
United States as an evangelist
preaching in tents and finally in
the greatest auditorium in the
world.
After preaching several wears
alone my work had grown to such
proportions that thousands were
attending my meetings, it was more
than could handle alone and /
ask my mother to come and share
in ths work which had accrued
through the years Of my ministry.
She Joined me and we came at
last to Los Angeles and shortly
purchased, from the funds raised in
my meetings, the ground upon
which Angelus Temple now stands.

POLICE CLAIM

II James Battle, colored, 49,, of the
200 block Thirteenth st. N. W.. had
not sought to make his alibi so per-
feet his arrest as hit and run driver
yesterday might never have been
made.
Headquarters Detectives Clarence
Tally and H. A. Cole were assigned
to apprehend the driver of an .auto-
mobile which knocked down young
Dan Vaughn near Twelfth and U
SITS. Saturday morning. The only clue
the detectives had was the make OF
the auto.
Shortly after the accident an auto
of the same make was reported
stolen by Battles. who was immedi-
ately taken into custody by detec-
tives and questioned about the theft.
Failing to patch in the details, he
finally admitted he was driving the
car when 1t struck the boy, police
say. He declared that he had no per-
NIT and reported the car stolen to
throw detectives off the track. He
was booked for failing to make his
identity known and operating with
out A permit.
The Vaughn boy was carried to
Children's Hospital after the accident
and treated for cuts and bruises by
DIR. S. F. Friedman. His condition
is not serious.

stepped in with follow-up blow. De-
lancy cracked him Solidly on the chin.
Again in the eleventh Delaney crossed
up the works by shooting through with
all hc had and landing solidly under
Toms heart. The fans gasped as this
blow landed. They thought the New
Le3lander would crunble up. as so many
before have done. Heeney backed up
for the ncnce. but came back with both
fists flying.
Heeney discourages any fellow who
lands his pet punches on him and fails
to bring him down. This is his forte,
taking what the other fellow has and
digging III to score few wallops on
his own account
Tunney Real Boxer.
But Heeney cannot expect to use such
tactics Oh the champion. He must take
into consideration that Tunney is a
first-rate boxer and does not rely on the
power Of the punch TO bring home the
verdict
Tunrey has brought his boxing to a
point bordering on perfection. The only
talng that viii whip him is inaction-
bH!l;s away from the came too long.
The thing he needs is Just the sort of
scrap Charley iiarvey'S man will give
him. This would make Tunney doub!y
hard To whip III the Fall.
P!odding after Tunney as he did
against Sharkey and Delaney may make
Heeney look like novice. Gene does
not wait for his opponent to come to
aim. He circles his man. picks his OPEN
ing and snaps out jab. Before any
retaliating blow can score. Gene slips
Sidewise out of distance and more than
likely crosses his right. This is the
plan he used against Jack Dempsey on
two occasions and both times it was
successful.
Another mark in favor OF Tunney. the
champion is reSourceful. He can change
his style to meet his opponents attack.
This. Hecney cannot do. 1t is dollars to
doughnuts that keen eyes checked up
every move Heeney made in his fight
against Delaney and that the champion
will know what to expect should Tex
Rickard decide to stage an international
match next June with Tom Heeney of
New iceland and Gene Tunney Of
these United States as the principals.
