HOLY ROLLERS.
 1T WOMAN'S BED
''Restle With Devil" to COunteract Effects of
 Snake Bite

Hammond, La, June 8.-(UP)- Holy Rollers prayed today at the bedside of Mrs. Joseph Rushing, 56. who lay 'restling with the devil" trying to overcome the effects of 8 snake bite that she had invited to as . test of faith.
 The state convention of the cult was interrupted while the saints" gathered in relays of 25 each at the home of J. T. Priest, local over- seer, where Mrs. Rushing had been carried.
 She was too weak to walk and her arm was swollen to twice its normal size. She writhed in agony but refused the services of doc tors as other cult members shouted encouragement.
 Mrs. Rushing underwent the "faith test" Sunday night in the presence of 400 delegates. It was the climax to several hours of shouting fin mystic tongues" ges- ticulating and rolling away of sins" on the floor.
 Members said that Ralph Durand of Hammond had brought the snake "a water moccasin-to the meet ing. He obtained 1t from the di- rector of a boys camp. The di- rector, who withheld his name, said that the snake had been "milked" of most of it's poison before 1t was taken to the meeting.
 Before then test, J. J. Tomlin- son. general overseer. read from the Bible Mark 16:15-18): He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved. They shall take up ser- pents and if they drink any dead ly thing, 1t shall not hurt them"
 The snake was produced and tossed from one to another of the worshipers. The Rev. J. R. Mox- ley handed it to the Rev. Sam Swaggerty, who tossed 1t to his son. Six persons had handled 1t before Mrs. Rushing caught it. She wrapped it twice around her arm, stood for all worshipers to see, and cried: Hes bit me! He's bit mel"
 Mrs. Rushing qualified as a saint" and was supposed to be i'm previous to snake bite, because of her intense faith. She said she felt no effects as long as the pdaytng continued Sunday night. but when the session ended, at midnight, her arm began to swell.
 No doctors" she said. No sir! I've been 8 member of the faith for 2l years and many years ago had some cancer trouble that got cured without any doctors. I'm not going to have one now"
 Mrs. Rushing was a Crystal Springs, Miss delegate to the con- vention.

he had the opportunity. He scored .
tremendous success and was recalled
several times.
In the midst of this program in jazz
idiom there was placed the serene and
lovely melodies Of Stephen Foster ar
ranged by Luis Guzman OF the Marine
Band. Mr.. Guzman has done a superb
bit Of work in both the selection of
the melodies and in the manner in
which he has woven them together.
He has achieved many striking effects
through his expert choice OF the Or
chestral voices and the frame which
he has formed of them for some Of
the most beloved tunes. One passes
from grave to gay in his arrangement

stinct is extraordinarily alert as in
his Hollywood Suite" for instance.
In the five divisions OF this work, he
has covered the entire picture OF that
famed place with as clever a musical
brush as one could hope to find.
His Symphony in Steel and the
excerpts from the Grand Canyon

are as far apart as the poles yet
marvelously conceived to describe the

Is vision also in his understanding of
the orchestra's descriptive power and
these two numbers are examples of
his gift. Not only does he glory in
