GROSS EXAMINE
GLAVIS TODAY
Says He Does Not Charge Cor
ruption But Merely Mis
conduct of Two.
(By Associated .Press )
WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 14.
Tho Ballinger-Pinchot Inquiry was
resumed today. Louis It. Glavis, the
prlnciplo accuser of Balllnger again
took tho stand prepared for a grilling
cross examination by the attorneys
representing the officials of the In
terior Department.
Glavis was examined by John
Vertrees of Nashville, Tenn., attor
ney for Balllnger. Vertrees drew
from the witness the fact that he
made no charged of corruption
against anyone in the land office or
the Department of tho Interior. Gla
vis declared that if he had found evi
dence of corruption he would have
taken tho matter befoie a grand jury
instead of to the piesldent. Glavis
said he thought the facts warranted
the opinion that Balllnger and Den
nett had acted improperly and he
charged them with official miscon
duct. Ho exonerated all other offi
cials or agents of the land office and
the Department of tho Interior.

pany. Divorce Not Decided.
The dlvorCe case of Morris vs.
Morris was taken under advisement

Large Congregations at Morn
ing and Evening Services
Some of His "Hot Shot."
Despite the Inclement weather, the
revival meetings at the Marshfleld
Tabernacle wero opened yesterday
with a good attendance by tho Rev.
Dan Shannon. The meetings in most
of the other protestant churches in
town wero abandoned both morning
nnd evenlnK so that their congrega
tions could unite in the ceremonies.
Rev. Dan Shannon spoko at both
the morning and evening services. He
differs much from the ordinary pul
pit orator, adding a touch of the
monologue artist's or elocutionist's
efforts to those of the preacher. Ho
is a rapid change and rapid fire
sneaker, suddenly changing from a
fervent religious appeal to a humor
ous story or to express a pun or epi
gram the latter being termed "Shan
non's hot shots." Tho wandering
away from tho text, contrary to the
effect It has on the average speaker's
audience, does not detract from me
hearing given Rev. Shannon for his
deviations appear to draw tho con
gregation's attention a little more
closely.
The text of his sermon last evonlng
was "Prepare to meet thy maker"
and following the tenices cards witu
this Inscribed on them were distribut
ed among the audience.
In his sermon, local illustrations
were used frequently and especially

Large Audiences Greet the
Evangelist In Spite of Rain
Wakes People Up.
(By ReY, O, LEROY HALL.)
It's no use to try to go to sleep
when Dan begins to speak. He wakeB
people up and makes them take
notice. "This Is no dress parade,"
said the Evangelist yesterday as he
appeared before his first audience.
"I don't have to come to Marshfleld,
I am here because I believe the peo
ple mean business, and If I can't
have the attention of tho people, I'll
pack up my trunks and leave!" It
is unnecessary to add that ho got It.
He took for, his text tho appro
priate words, "The people had a
mind to work," found In Neh. 4:G.
"I came here," said Dan, "because
I believe tho Christian people have
a mind to work. This tabernacle is
an evidence to that fact. Nehlmlah
wept, prayed and fasted because he
was troubled over God's cause. And
when he said, 'Let us rise and build,'
the people laughed him to scorn.
Just like hundreds of people In
Marshfleld. They would try to di
vert this great work If they could.
But you will bo surprised. Tho
crowds will begin to come and this
houso will bo full of people."
"You say to mo, 'I don't like your

At a meeting of tho executive com
mittee of the Marshfleld Chamber
of Commerce this morning, tho fol
lowing telegram was- ordered sent to
Congressman W. C.' Hawley In Wash
ington relative to tho federal appro
priation for the Cqos Bay bar Impro
vement: "Chamber of Commerce extends
vote of thanks for your good work
for Coos Bay. As dredge will not
bo available tor ono year, can you
not get an emergency appropriation
for Immediate operation of the
dredge now completing the bar con
tract at San Diego."
The object of tho latter provision
of tho telegram is to have the suc
cess or failure of. tho bar dredg6
demonstrated as quickly as possible.
If it should prove a failure as some
claim it in time to have tho plan
remedied at the next session of con
gress. If it is a success, then the bar
and harbor will" enjoy tho benefits
of the Improvement at n much earlier
date than otherwise.

of the Czarina would not have cared
how the work was done If only tho
men could have been saved. No mat
ter how, but save the lost! The
Bible says to 'cleave to that which
is good,' and I say that the cleaver
should bo used on tho bad."
Last night, Mr. Shannon took for
his BUbJect. "Prepare to Meet Thy
God" found In Amos. Hjs arguments
In favor of the existence of God were
aula and pointed. Ho said: "I be
lieve tlp Bible when It says: 'The
fool says In his heart, there Is no

"You say to me, 'Oh the BJbfo J3 &

that good men would not have writ

written It. It's God's word. It's the
only up to date book wo have. It Is
more than up-to-date for It not only
tells us the past .but the present and
tho great future. There are more
Bibles sold today than any. other
book published.
"Good speaks here to man. You
may bo able to get away from men,
you may bo ablo to get away from
these meetings, but you cannot got
away from God. Get ready to live.
I'm not here to tell people to prepare

God, got ready to live. Tho only
way to bo prepared Is through the
salvation of Jesus Christ. Church
membership can't save you.
"You might as well write your
