HOLD HOUSE MEETINGS

Ahnut 200 Church Workers Attend Nightly Prayer Sessions. Crashing of falling timbers, accompanied by the metallic tatoo of hammers and the slbilancy of handsaws wielded by muscular laymen were a few of the many sounds which today disturbed the erstwhile quietude of the East Main Street Friends churchyard. Thirty-five hired and volunteer laborers are now tearing down the old horse stables for the erection of the Honeywell tabernacle. The call had been sent out for volunteer workers to report prepared for duty at 8 o'clock. Thirty were on hands at that time, coming in automobiles, buggies, drays, street cars and on foot, clad in business clothes, hunting garments or overalls. Every one was well provided with saws, hammers and hatchets, but there was a striking dearth of handspikes and other tools generally used in wrecking a building. Seven Ministers Work. Not all the ministers of the seventeen churches represented In arranging for the revival, were on the scene, some being out of the city and others being detained through various reasons. The ministers engaged In the work today were Rev. T. J. Graham, Dr. S. It. Lyons, Rev. H. S. James, Rev. Truman Kenworthy, Rev. R. C. Leonard, Rev. W. O. Stovall and Rev. Trueblood. Dr. Lyons seemed to have had more experience with carpenter tools than other members of the ministerial association and was engaged in work on the walls of the tabernacle while the others were engaged as unskilled laborers in tearing down the stables. "I want to see this thing make a better showing than they made in Muncie," Baid Richard Sergwlck, who was an associate boss with George Mansfield. "I used to like to see Richmond trim Muncie in polo and I want to see her come out ahead on this. Things Look Promising. "Things look very promising," said Dr. Lyons as he ruefully surveyed a blister and throwing down his hammer left at 10:30 for a shop meeting Bcheduled for two hours later. By the plans of the building, the platform will be erected in the east end with a raised choir loft to accommodate 600 singers. Twelve entrances have been provided for the building. It is believed with favorable weather It will be completed within two weeks. 500 At Meeting. Almost 200 church workers of the city gathered at the sixteen cottage prayer meetings last night, which are being held previous to the Honeywell revival. Ministers and laymen prayed for a religious awakening Jn "Richmond, planning for the success of and discussing the coming revival. Pastors were pleased with the attendance and spirit shown by the church members, and believe interest will increase as the meetings continue and the time for the evangelistic campaign approaches. The next meeting will be held Friday night. Committees having charge of arrangements will announce the list of homes as soon as completed. Each evening the prayer services are held at the Third M. E. church in Fairriew. Speaks For Club Women. Feeling that her long experience as & club woman and as a citizen of Richmond best fitted her as epokesiznan, a number of members of the various clubB have asked Mrs. George B. jjpougan to give their precise reasons itor criticising the plans made for the .Honeywell revival which is to begin TDecember 28th. "These ladies, of whom there are quite a number, are not opposed to a revival as such," said Mrs. Dougan today, "but to the erection of a taberjiacle. They feel such expense is needless when we have two such large auditoriums as the East Main Street Friends church and the Coliseum. "Erecting a temporary building will eost much money and those of us who &r familiar with conditions here Jcnow how badly it is needed for other things more necessary. Already, before winter has yet begun, there is more than the usual amount of suffering Mid want. Yet the Associated Charities have found it almost impossible to ralBe funds. A visiting nurse is also badly needed and that will require money. Why, then, must we spend a large sum for a merely temporary building when we are so badly in need of the money elsewhere?"

"The people of this country are to be congratulated on the early prospect of scund legislation on this vitally important subject," says Secretary McAdoo. A certain business hesitancy, arising from tariff and monetary legislation before the special session of congress was to be expected, says Secretary McAdoo. But he declares, there are evidences of a "propaganda of pessimism," which produces a condition of extreme nervousness. The total national debt June 30, was $2,916,204,913.66.

That the state intended to attack the charges made by the defense that Dr. Helen Knabe was masculine and aggressive was indicated at the Craig trial here today when John Nicholson, Indianapolis photographer, was called to Identify a photograph of the dead woman taken by him three or four years before her death. After Identification by Nicholson, the photo was passed to the jury for the inspection, over the objection of Attorney Spaan of the defense's counsel. Coroner C. O. Durham, of Marion County, followed the photographer on the stand and described the scene at the Knabe apartments subsequent to his arrival on the morning the body was found. Contrary to evidence offered by witnesses yesterday Coroner Durham stated there were two cuts in the left side of Dr. Knabe's breast. He described the throat wound in a technical way, following closely his post-mortem statement. He said the wall was splattered with blood opposite the dead woman's feet. Coroner Durham said there was a bipod streak on the pillow found across the body, which resembled a thumb mark." I found one knife in the room" said Dr. Durham. "I found many other knives in the rear room." "Describe the knife you found in the room." "It was a email paring knife." "Was it sharp of dull?"I would say It was dull." The witness then described the numerous knives found in the apartments including a large butcher knife. He said some of the knives had old crusted blood on them. WILSON IS SICK i WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.
