A. did for him,” declared Gipsy Smith to a delegation from the Bible Investigation Club of the Indianapolis T. M. C. A., and the crowd of 8.000 persons which packed the tabernacle last evening. “Peace.” not as men ordinarily speak of it, but the “peace which passeth all understanding and which can he bought only by paying the price of putting one'* worldly pride beneath one’s feet and confessing one's sins before man and God," was the theme of the evangelist's address. Gipsy Smith brought more of the dramatic element into play in his appeal for converts than he heretofore has used, for the first time Inviting persons who desired to turn from the paths of wrong to the highways of righteousness to come down in front of the platform and grasp his hand. Time after time he left his pulpit tp go to the sawdust and give his benediction to those who came forward. ALL CLASSES AND AGES REPRESENTED. Women, men, girls and boys of all stations of life responded to the invitation In such numbers that the evangelist declared it the greatest meeting he had held in this city. Men In fine tweed* and men in working clothes, women in silks and women in home-fashioned garments of coarser materials met and mingled before the platform. Many came weeping. There was a stack of pledge cards at least six Inches high on the rail behind which the Gipsy soldier of the Lord preached when the meeting closed. The work of the chorus choir of 500 voices led the speaker to declare it "the best I have had In America.’’ The address on “Peace” was delivered in a brief, forceful manner, more than half on hour being taken for the period of extending the invitation to “get right with God.” The invitation was given time and again, following incidents of a touching nature. Before the request that converts come forward was made Gipsy asked those who knew they were saved and knew that “their folks” knew they were to rise from their seats. Most of the congregation responded. “Don't lie in the precene of Your God," he cautioued; then he asked those who desired to cast their lot with, those standing to rise. A lone man sitting near the front stood up. “Thank God for that rain,' said Gipsy. “I’ve been watching him. I've been preaching to that man who stood up. “You know how that it, you preachers,” he said, turning to the pastors of Indianapolis churches seated to the left of the platform. “There are some of you who did love Jesus, but you've been drifting away,” he continued. “Do you want to stop the drift? Stop that drift by standing up.” Many more responded. “There are some of you who are sayi' a rhiinh member, but I haven't got that peace you have been speaking of. Stand up. That's right, don't let the devil cheat you any longer.” The pledge cards were passed and as the converts signed them the choir sang. Then Gipsy repeated his appeal. “No soul was saved this side of the pearly gates that was too Idle to seek Jesus," he said. “I haven’t been studying human nature on five continents for thirty years not to know that if there is a time when a person needs sympathy it is when he is making the fight some of you are making right now.” CAMPAIGN WORKER FIRST TO GO FORWARD. Then the appeal for those who wished to be saved to come forward was made. A well-dressed, clean-cut looking man marched down one of the aisles on the left side of the tabernacle and the audience applauded. “That man,” announced Gipsy, after speaking with him, “Is a personal worker of this campaign, who tells me he realizes that he did not have that something that he wanted.” Others started coming forward and tbo people on the benches began to crane forward to see who were “hitting the trail.” “Don't let your curiosity run wild with you," admonished the evangelist. “That would grieve the Holy Spirit Remain in your seats and pray.” A boy apparently Just reaching his teens came to the platform. “Thank God for that boy,” cried Gipsy. “I came to Christ when I wag a boy. I sometimes think that we don't give enough consideration to our boys. We say. He s Just a boy.’ Well, boys have a way of growing up that we don't want to forget. I was ‘only a boy,’ only a Gipsy boy, and the older people didn't have much use for me, but Jesus did. If I had not had the right thing put into my heart It would have been starved out. “There's another man 1 wanted to come out and shako hands with me. I wonder if he will come,” and the exborter paused a moment. With tears In his eyes a man of 30 arose and walked to the platform. “Thank God for him! That's the man!" announced the evangelist. And then a woman came. She was the man’s wife. “He tells me that his father and mother have been praying for him for twenty-five years and at last their prayers are answered,” said Gipsy. Says Every One Has Chance at 7 O’clock In response to frequent Inquiries. A. R. Techmeyer, head doorkeeper at the Gipsy tabernacle, explained today why the doors are not opened before 7 o'clock each evening. “The committee In charge viewed the problem from every angle and decided that the 7 o’clock opening hour was the best,” he said. “Gipsy Smith is very desirous of reaching the working people of Indianapolis. These people cannot get home from work and back to the tabernacle much before 7 o’clock. In order to give them an opportunity to get Jn t" that which people more fortunately situated enjoy It was decided to keep everybody out until the 7 o’clock hour.” Falls Under Cars; Both Feet Cut Off Fred King, 47, colored, suffered the loss of both feet today when he fell under a cut of Pullman cars at the Union Station. King, who lives In Cincinnati, was a Pullman porter and had Just completed a run to Indianapolis. He attempted to leap on a moving ear, missed the handle and plunged under the wheels. He was sent to the Deaconss Hospital. GOES BACK TO CLEVELAND.

Instance where the city school authorities have overpaid a superintendent. HINES SEES GOOD IN SWAIN LAW. "I have faith enough in the trustees to believe that they will not pay out an exorbitant sum for a county superintendent or pay a larger salary than what a man Is worth,’’ he said. “The law gives the trustees a chance to pay what a inan is worth, and gives them the opportunity to obtain good man for the position. The passage of the bllf makes it possible for good men to seek the county superintendent job, and will result In better educational work throughout the State.” As originally written, the Strode bill provided that the courts "MA' ” appoint the bailiffs, nnd set forth the salary which they should receive. When It went to committee, however, it was changed to make the appointment compulsory, and gave the courts power to tlx the salary, and provided that the compensation should couio from the county treasury. No limitations whatsoever are placed on the amount of salary which the baltff •hall receive, and his appointment end salary is In addition to all other attaches of the court. This official, also. Is In addition to the deputy sheriffs which a sheriff may appoint, to be paid by rhe people, in case of emergency.

V. Mullen. Mullen’s brother, sitting within a few inches of Champion, rose half way in his seat and caught the attorney's arm. Sheriff “Buck" Garrett seized Mullen by the shoulder and drew ■ him Into his scat. “What created the marvelous interest 1 in this case of .lake L. Hamon? It is because the people of this country are | interested to know how a prominent man. | a lawyer, a man of 40, could be honored j In a community nnd seduce a girl In her i ’teens?” Champon continued. “Every heartbreak, every sob In this .case, Jake Hnmon made.” CLARA WEEPS, WHILE WIDOW BOWS HEAD. Women in the audience wept during Champion's dramatic speech. The accused woman cried softly. On the other side of the table Damon’s widow sat with head bowed as Champion scathingly denounced the dead oil king. “They are torturing this girl, to keep her from the Hamon millions,” he declared. "And the Governor sent the attorney general down to assist them. Thev have i come Into court to get the girl under her j oath to deny the existence of a will.” And then came a bombshell. "There Is only one way to rifle the , Hamon estate—that is to hustle this girl j off to the penitentiary,” Champion j shouted. “Remember that all the evidence j brought here by the State was testified j to by those who want to get this girl i away and send her to the penitentiary. “Jake Hamon debauched, overpowered and ruined this poor prodigal girl and j the attorney general 1* overpowering her now through the machinery of the State “They are trying to bustle her off to the penitentiary, I tell you, gentlemen, to save the Hamon million*." Champion touched the spectacular by re-enacting the prosecution’s contention of the shooting. A defence attorney lay on the counsel table. Champion stroked his hair and then pantomimed the shooting. The defendant, turning her head nway buried her face in her handkerchief and sobbed convulsively. JIAMON’B WIDOW ALSO WEEPS. The widow also wept daring this Juncture of Champion's speech. "There Is one who never comes back—the prodigal girl. She never comes back,” Champion added.

Champion’s address had made a profound effect on the fans James Mathers followed Champion with arguments for tbc defense when court I reconvened. "The prosecution Is wondering whether , Hamon gold has lined the pockets of j this Jury so that they mar send this girl j to slow death,” he declared. “The prosecution says this defendant. ! as a girl of 16, seduced and raped Jake Hnmon. "Jake Hamon, the e*adl-snateher! No one, black or white, ever had to seduce Jake Hamon!” Mathers shouted. DECLARES DOCTOR ALSO BLINDED. '•Five thousand dollars of the taxpayers money has gone, not to the prosecution, but to the damnable persecution of this girl. "This girl was driving In the winds and snow and working for Jake Hamon before he made his gold. "The whole case of this prosecution is based on perjured testimony and the whole -world knows it." Mathers declared that Dr. W. W. Hardy, j owner of the hospital where llamon died | and one of the chief w-itnesses for the 1 prosecution, was “blinded by glittering ! Hamon gold.” He also made attack on Kelly Roach | and W. B. Nichols, the latter a former chief of police of Oklahoma City, who testified for the prosecution. “.lake Hamon was drunk when he was shot," Mather shouted. “Who testified to his dying words? Kelly Roach and Bill Nichols. “They were drunk, too! “.Take Hamon died as he lived, cursing, rotten and debauched. “If there is Justice in America, let it flash to the world in ten minutes that there is not enough gold to corrupt the justice of Carter County.” Court adjourned at noon until 1 o'clock, when W.

BARS SEPARATE TAX EXEMPTION Attorney General Passes on Joint Tenant Problem. Joint tenants are not entitled to separate mortgage exemption in taxation assessments, according to an opinion given today by U. S. Lesh, attorney general, in reply to an inquiry from the State board of tax commissioners. Mr. Lesh stated it was not the intention of the Legislature to grant each Joint holder of property a separate exemption.

He said that at that time the company was not in need of added funds. CITY OPPOSES 60 PER CENT INCREASE. When he showed figures that proved that the company was making good returns in 1920, Mr. Hornbrook interrupted to say that only for the "first ton months” did the company have a prosperous year. “The people of Indianapolis, and the city as well, want to know why, at the end of the most prosperous year in the history of the company, It is before the commission now, asking for an emergency Increase of 50 per cent In rates for i its product,” said Mr. Ashby. “It is a had thing for the company, a bad thing for the public and a bad thing ■ for this commission, to think that n ! utility must run to the commission for j an increase In rates every time it strikes | a little bad luck. If this company could I operate at a profit In the years of 1916, 1917. 1918, 1919 and 1920. now, at the time when prices are on the decline. It is not entitled to any Increase of 50 per cent.” Mr. Ashby *ald the gas company was unique in its situation In regard to coal, for where the price of cal affected the most of the other public utilities vitally. It was a benefit to the gas company to have a high price on coal, for the higher the price of coal Is the higher the price It could command for its by-product, coke. Mr. Forrest was the first witness to be placed on the stand. He gave u brief history of the operation of the company sine® Its incorporation In the spring of 1906.

that has ever come to his notice. Prosecutor Graham believes the crime was plotted months ago and that Virgil Decker planned weeks back to cultivate the friendship of Lovett and wielded every Influence possible over his selected victim. When Lovett left Elkhart with Decker he told his parerus he was going to visit relatives in Auburn, but instead of doing this he went with Decker to the cabin on the Tippecanoe River, where Decker attempted to kill Lovett. Evidence taken at the Inquest showed, It Is sabl, that Lovett was struck on the head with an iron bar and that he was choked and gagged. The disarrangement inside the cabin showed there had been a desperate struggle. If Lovetts body had been badly mangled by the train, according to plans, the truth might not have been uncovered, but fate seemed to take part In the affair and the body when found was soon identified. When questioned by Sheriff Fowler, who arrested him at Marlon, Decker stated that he, Lovett and “Guy” had planned to go to South America. Officers now are satisfied that the man called "Guy” was a fictitious character created by Decker to dispel suspicion. CITY JUDGE TRIES SUSPENSION.
