Popular and Effective Meet ' ing at First Baptist Church Last Night Young people's night at the Hap tist revival proved to be a popular and effective meeting. The center and front of the church was com pletely filled with young folk who joined heartily in the singing. Old favorites were called for and sung. The trombone solo by Mr. Tebow, who played "Ninety and Nine" while Mrs. Tebow accompanied on the piano, was especially enjoyed. After the solo the audience joined in singing the last verse: All through the mouutains, thun der riven, And up from the rocky steep, There rose a cry to the gates of heaven, "Rejoice, I have found my sheep." And the angels echoed around the throne, "Rejoice, for the Lord brings back His own." The sermon by Dr. Trawin was on the: rich young ruler who came to Jesus asking what he should do to inherit eternal, life. He came running, the record says, and knelt before Jesus; but when Jesus told him what he was to do, to let go of that which was really his master, his property, he arose and went away sorrowful, for he had great riches. "Anything," said Dr. Trawin, "that keeps us is our master. No matter whether riches, or pleasure, or ambition for self, that which controls us masters us. This young man called Jesus master, but fn reality his riches mastered him. He lost his great opportunity in his great refusal." At the close of the sermon a number came forward to accept Christ and an after-meeting for prayer "was held. There will be no meeting this evening. Dr. Tra win will preach both morning and evening tomorrow. In the evening his subject will be "Has Man Be come the Weaker Vessel?" In the afternoon at 4 o'clock there will be a young people's rally, to which all the young people of the city are invited, and Dr. Shanks, tho pastor, will address the meeting tho subject, "Wrestlers With 1 fJguirar cured breakfast bacon i 20c Medium Weight ic Sliced . - 25c Pure Pork Sausage, No Water, No Cereal I Special for Today Pork to Roast 12y2c Fresh Side 14c Pork Chops 15c McDoweB Market v : ' Where a Dollar Does its l)uty nioNB 1421... : '.""'nas.'comT.

Npcjwrge t orjvcry DAUGHERTY MAKES DENIAL OF TESTIMONY (Continued from page 1) "After a conference with the director of the bureau of investi gation a circular letter was sent out to all special agents through out the country instructing them to keep a careful lookout for such violations and alsp with a view to securing evidence of a conspir acy. A copy of this circular letter is enclosed- Under date of Febru ary 9, lt22, the United States attorney at Philadelphia called the department's attention to certain circumstances in connection with the circular latter and he was directed to make a thorough in vestigation and to prosecute vigor ously any person found guilty of transporting the Dempsey-Carpen-tier film. As it had at that time been brought to the attention of the department that the courts were imposing only a fine which apparently was having no deter- en defendants." rent effect, the department con cluded that it wouy be necessary for the courts to impose a more drastic punishment, that there should be a sentence of imprison ment. The act prescribes a fine of not to exceed $1,000 or iiupris-. on men t. not to exceed one year, or both. In the letter to the United States attorney at Philadelphia he was therefore required in the event an indictment was return ed in his district and the defend ant proposed to enter a plea of guilty to immediately inform the department so that it might del egate someone to appear specially for it Subsequently, upon receipt oE advice as to when the case would be called an attorney from the department was directed to appear before the court and call its attention to the repeated viola tion of the law and the need "Of a prison sentence to secure proper respect for it. ' The court was told that the department believed the offenses were the result of a prearranged plan to defy the film statute, and that the payment of a fine did not seem to deter further violations whenever a field seemed to offer good financial returns. The case was that of Joe CJrif fis the court fined the defendant $1,000. As opportunity has offered from time to time the department has in communications to the United Spates attorney In various parts of the country as its files show, em phasized its attitude regarding the vigorous prosecution or cases oi this character. There has been an extended investigation as to the substantive offense and a conspir acy in some instances is still in progress with respect to not only the Dempsey-Carpentier film but as to the Willard-Dempsey, the Dempsey-Gibbons and the Demp-t sey-Pirpo films. According to a wire of the 5th instant from Spe cial Agent "Wheeler. Los Angeles, Cal., a conspiracy indictment has been returned there involving sev- Japanese Breakfast Is Silverton Social Event SILHERTON. Or., March 14.
