PEPPY, YOUNG EVANGELIST IS HERRIN ‘ANGEL’ Peace Replaces Feuds in ‘Bloody Williamson County/ Bu United Press HE RUIN', 111., Aug. 21.—Harsh words and gun toting have given away to psalm reading and Bible carrying In this section—once known as “Bloody Williamson County.” And Howard S. Williams, tall and peppery evangelist, once a newspaperman, is hailed as the peace negotiator. Williams, who hails from Hattiesburg, Miss., came here some three months after the last memorable street duel, in which Glenn Toung, Ora Thomas and two other men had been shot down. Theirs was Just another chapter of the period of hate which has swept the county since 1822. Foes Shake Hands Williams opened a small revival service, as many another evangelist had done. The town at first paid little attention to this stranger who spoke of the “Brotherhood of Man.” But as Williams unlimbered -the crowd increased. Klan and antiKlan supporters both started attending the tabernacle where Williams held sway. The conversions began to mount. Then one day William, surprised everyone by walking into the lobby of the cigar store where Glenn Toung had fought his last battle. With very few words the evangalist started his little group of helpers to singing a hymn. There was a brief talk and a prayer. After that Herrin and Williamson County belonged to the youthful evangelist. Stores closed at noon for an hour so that everyone could attend the noon-day services. The night services were packed. Revival Services Sheriff George Galligan, whose name a few months ago evoked a hasty oiling of pistols, came Into town unmolested. His deputies walked at his side. They visited the tabernacle and following the service some 5,000 persons walked up to shake, the hand of the sheriff. Both klan and anti-klan supporters Joined in the general hand shaking. Williams has closed his meeting here and departed. However the town continues peace bent, with eyes turning toward improving the land — ife-ther than “bumping off” opponents. EWING IS MADE ‘DRY’ DIRECTOR (Continued From Page 1) the responsibility for preventing operations along the shore. “Distilleries and breweries which are found to be sources of bootleg trade will be proceeded against as nuisances anti closed.” Close exoneration with the justice department will be maintained under legal guidance toward arrest and punishment of major Violators and special attention will be directed to clearing ccOirt dockets. • j , New Office Created A campaign of education will be undertaken to prove to all citizens that bootleg liquor is injurious to health and detriment to public welfare in an effort to cut down the liquor market. One entirely new office was created—that of "chief prohibition investigator.” Walter H. Green was appointed to it and as such will head a bureau of International detectives who will war on rum-runners headed for America from all over the world. Andrews said in part: “The national prohibition laws make It unlawful to supply alcoholic beverages to those who want to buy them. Admits Demand “The big demand for these - beverages creates a ready market and under the economic law of supply and demand the business of selling to this market has been established. This outlaw business, in all its manifestations is the real enemy of government and society. “It’s elimination is the main objective for the Federal forces. “This bootleg business may be eliminated by depriving it of its sources of supplies or by depriving It of its market. It may be seriously impeded by the arrest and punishment of those who direct its operations who furnish it protection, banking facilities, tactical assistance, etc., and by making its operations more expensive than the market will bear. Three Lines of Attack “The Federal forces have been reorganized for, and will be concentrated upon, the task of eliminating the bootleg Industry and energies will be directed priirfarily to that end, working along these three lines of attack: “1. Sources of supply to be reached and wiped out as rapidly as possible are importations, manufacture, diversion and transportation. “2. The market is our most difficult problem because of its indifference to consequences, ignorance and collosal gullibility. The market will pay any price and swallow any bootlegger’s story as to quality, but one by one intelligent citizens will realize the danger to the Government and society which they are creating by enriching this bootleg class of community members and feeding fat a business which exists only through corrupting the very agents of Government and business, whose honesty is essential to the stability Are You Foolish enough to go on, day after day, sufferlng with STOMACH TROUBLE, when one bottle of SHAPLEY’S Original STOMACH MEDICINE Will give you Quick Relief.

Bert C. M rgan

If Bert C. Morga:., Federal prohibition director for Indiana, knows what his status will be after Sept. 1, when the new dry law enforcement system goes into effect, he is keeping silent on it. He would not talk after he returned from Washington Thursday night.

of society. One by one they will learn that imported whiskies, etc., are being made in Canal St. from industrial alcohol and thus will refrain from buying them. “3. The bootleg industry in one form or another extends over the whole country, but it operates mostly in the centers of population. Its business is collecting supplies and distributing them and its operations vary in size from the small operator who sells locally the product of local stills, up to the big operators whose lines extend into foreign sources of supply and into broad fields of distribution. None of the operations that are big enough to be more than matters for local police control can be carried on except through conspiraties to violate the law. These conspiracies involve many persons in various walks of life. All are guilty.” “WAS EXPECTED”—MORGAN Indiana Dry Director Silent Regarding His Future Status. “It was generally understood at Washington that the Rev. Ewing would be named,” Bert C. Morgan, Indiana Federal prohibition director, said when told of the appointment of the new acting director for this district. Morgan returned from Washington late Thursday, where he conferred with Gen. Lincoln C. Andrews. He was silent on how the appointment of Ewing affected his status as present boss of Indiana. “The appointment of Mr. Ewing is understood to be temporary. General Andrews is looking for a business man to take charge of the district," Morgan said. Morgan, it is believed, may he made one of the deputy administrators, ohe of which probably will be located here, and supervise dry work in Indiana. He denied he had been seeking a State berth. It was understood he was angling for appointment as secretary of the State teachers’ retirement fund, a position now held by Estes Duncan.

RADIO REACHES 14,000 MILES FOR REPORTER World’s Long Distance Press Interview Is Held. By Keith Jones United Press Starr Cgrreevondent CoDvrioht. IP-5. o v United Press LONDON, Aug. 21.—The world’s long distance radio press interview was held today when I conversed across 14,000 miles of space with Commander Crosse of the United States battleship Seattle at Wellington, N. Z. This feat of aerial communication and Journalism was made possible through the courtesy of the famous radio amateur, Gerajd Marcuse, who, without any pre-arrangement, established in fifty seconds a link by air with the battleship more than half way around the world from here. The commander aboard the visiting United States battleship in faraway New Zealand could hear my voice plainly, hut he gave his answers in Morse code. The connection was made at 6:30 this morning and I asked the commander: “Is there any truth in reports of fighting between the American sailors and the New Zealand police?" “The reports are absurd,” came his reply. “There has been no fighting and no rioting whatsoever. The sailors are doing the best they can to enjpy all the festivities showered on them by the people of Wellington.” My next Inquiry was as to when tfce fleet would leave for America, and to this the commander answered, “Monday.” “Is New Zealand dry or wet?” I then asked him. “Wellington is wet both Inside and outside: it’s been raining all day,” came his quick retort as our interview ended. Establishment of clear communication across such a tremendous span was viewed by Marcuse as a forerunner of a vast extension In the use of short wave transmission. DRIVER GIVEN DAYS Motorist Charged With Speeding by State Cop. James Goolsby, 3335 Rural SL, arrested by State Policeman Boyer, and charged with driving fifty miles an hour, was fined 81 and costs and sentenced to thirty days by City Judge Pro Tem. George Henry late Thursday. STREET PAVING GRAFTCHARGED (Continued From Page 1) the loan and made such a fuss over it that Elliott resigned. Elliott and Armitage both frankly admitted the transaction. Elliott saying there was no reason for concealing t. Armitage contended he was not in any business in which he might need favors from the city engineer and therefore there was nothing wrong in a personal business transaction with Elliott. • Llgenfelter Denies Llngenfelter denied the allegation that he had dealings with Armitage and said that as far as he knew, Armitage was not connected with the Eugene St. paving. ”1 personally Investigated the Eugene St. concrete paving job and fou'd that it was done according to spec ficatlons,” Llngenfelter declared. "There are a number of cracks running across the road, but they are.due to normal expansion of the concrete. This occurs in every piece of concrete construction. Had the material been faulty, the cracks would run longitudinally. “Before concrete was authorized for the Job, I warned property owners they should us© asphalt, but they Insisted upon concrete. I tried to have Joseph L. Hogue (city controller), who lives near there, ask the property owners to reconscider their stand, but it was useless. Llngenfelter said an attempt he made to specify asphalt at a board of works meeting was blocked by Dr. M. J. Spencer, board member. The total cost of the paving was $30,604.76. ASK AUDITORIUM PERMIT Amalgamated Clothing Worker's to Build $26,000 Structure. Permit to build a $26,000 auditorium was requested from the building commissioner today by the Amalgamated Clothing Workers. The brick structure is to be built at 166-70 W.
