Preaches Unceasingly from Church Auto Trucks, Factory Steps" Busi ness Houses, Etc., and Drives Great Truths Home to His Hearers. The biggest crowd yet tried to get in Wesley Memorial M. E. Church Sunday night and it is estimated that fuIiy one thousand people were turn ed away who were unable to get evn standing room. ; His text Sunday night was "Wh&t shall it profit man if he gain the whole world and lose his, own soul.",: He described a soul and expressed the belief that a soul was like the body. He said: "This revival meet ing is a soul-saver and Jesus Christ is the Savior. To lose wealth isn't much, to lose health is more, but to lose your soul is more than to lose all." Rev Culpepper stated that nations and cities could lose their souls. He told of several instances thatv he k'new of where individuals had made dying statements that their souls were lost and that they were on the way to hell. One girl, when dying, told her mother that she was lost because she held a. house party while a revival meeting was in progress in the. town 1 in which she resided. The revivalist again urged the people to put God first in everything. Several thousand people gathered in front of the postoffice building Sat urday night to hear the evangelist speak. The entire block was lined with people, apparently anxious to hear the noted preacher. Automobiles lined the streets and this resulted in the congestion of traffic for several minutes. The revivalist spoke from an auto mobile truck standing just opposite the postoffice and could be heard dis tinctly for some distance. "For God so loved the world that he " gave his ' only begotten --son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life was the text used by Rev. Burke Cul pepper in delivering one of his best sermons Sunday morning at "11 o'clock. The revivalist's theme was "Incarnation." Rev. Culpepper spoke of the great sacrifice God made in , sending his son into the world to die upon .the .cam-Letoss that men might be forgiven of their sins. God could have sent his angels into the world and have de stroyed it- if Christ had but called, he said. Christ's mission was to for give and he did not fail to function in that word. He spoke of the way God deter mines sex. Everything comes through the mystic gateway of birth, he said. Love, sympathy, sacrifice and death are the ingredients of ..in carnation. He told of the way a mother extended sympathy, sacrificed and even died for her children. "God never made a human being as self-sacrificing as a woman." - Several hundred men assembled in Wesley Memorial church Sunday af ternoon at 3:30 o'clock to hear Rev. Culpepper preach a special sermon to men only. The evangelist spoke from Daniel, telling his hearers how Daniel pur posed in his heart that he would not defile himself. He said that Daniel was purpose made, purpose staid and purpose paid. He urged the men of High Point to purpose in their hearts to be real men.

WEST GIVESJHM 0VATI0JI Ml Doubtful Features of Pact Are Explained Away By President, and Former Doubters Hasten to Give , Him Their Support. ' ."' " ' f (By Independent News . Bureau, form ftrly Mt. Clemens jJ"Jews Bureau.) Aboard President" Wilson's Special Train A continuous ovation along the Pacific coast and then on' his eastward way back toward the capital was given to President Wilson as he came toward the end of his month daylong speaking tour in behalf of the League of Nations. California, particularly the delightful city of Los Angeles, went wild in its enthusiasm for him and his advocacy of the league, andit was in that state, perhaps, that he did his most successful missionary work. Hiram Johnson, California's former governor, now her United States sena tor, and considered by her as the most likely Republican candidate for the presidency in 1920, had before the ar rival of . President Wilson, convinced a great number of citizens that the League as at present formulated was not a good thing. He had told them that the United States, because of it, would be drawn into every petty European quarrel; he argued that we would lose our sovereignty by joining with the European nations. He had blamed the president for assentingto the possession by Japan of tho Penin ,sula of Shan Tung in China. BUREAU CHANGES NAME The Mdunt Clemens News bureau, which has been lurnishing reports on President Wilson's- tour in behalf of the League of Rations to 5,500 papers, has adoptea a new name and will hereatter be known as The Independent News Bureau. But Mr.' Wilson, with clear logic and with compeUing eloquence, answered to "the entire satisfaction of Califor nia's people every objection' which Senator Johnson had made to the League. And" thousands of the state's citizens deserted the Johnson stand ard immediately and rallied to the sup port of the president. More than that, they came forward and said, "We were against you, Mr. President, but you have cleared everything upland now we are with you heart and soul." Still more than that, they let Senatorl Johnson know that they were no longer with him and that they disap proved of the speaking tour which he himself was making in opposition to the League and so powerful -w.s -the volume of public opinion which reach ed him, that the senator almost im mediately abandoned his tour. The Shan Tung question, because of, the anti-dapanese feeling which undoubted ly exists along the Pacific coast was the most serious which the president had to "answer. He explained to the people that he had been powerless to prevent the rich peninsula from being eiven to Japan England and France, through a secret treaty, had promised it to Japan for entering the war and noma In in p- It it.

Regains Consciousness Early Today But Is Still in Critical Condition; Million and Half Dollar Fire Raged While Mob Lynched a Negro. Omaha, Sept. 29. Mayor E. P. Smith, injured late yesterday when a mob attempted to lynch him, was still in a critical condition todav. rpnnrfs from the hospital indicated. It was stated he had recovered consciousness. His physician said, however, it was too early to make any definite state ment as to his condition. After a night of mob rule, during which a negro was lynched and an attempt was made to hang the mayor, E. P. Smith, the connt.v rnnrfVi ' ,7 V M -M. A A J M. burned, one man shot and killed, and perhaps 40 others injured, the city Was quiet today under patrol of fed eral troops from Fort Crook and Fort Omaha. The mayor is at the hospital and was in a critical condi tion early today as the result of an attempt made by the mob to hang him to a trolley pole because he ad vised against the lynching of William Brown, a negro, charged with at tacking a white girl last week. Mayor Smith was seized by the mob near the courthouse at 10 o'clock and was threatened with lynching. He was hustled to Harney street and . stopped at the foot of a trolley pole on the cross , arm of which was a coil of rope. "Give us the key to the jail. If we can't gejt the negro we'll lynch you. He's no better than the negro. He's a negro lover," were shouts heard among the mob. -"Get that rope," someone shouted. It was pulled down by a loose endlbut. was not long enough. A man climbed the pole and with a knife cut it. It was brought down and placed around the neck of the mayor. Appalled at the possibility of mur dering the city's executive protests began to oe heard. Then two offi cers cut the rope and carried the may or to an automobile a"nd rushed him to a hospital. . The fire that was started in the courthouse left it a mass of ruins. The property was valued at a million and a half dollars. For several hours the lives of more than 100 prisoners in the jail -were. endangered by the flames in the low-,'-er floors. It was finally necessary to send them all to the roof It was at this time that the mob that had gain ed an entrance to the burning building pushed past the sheriff and forced their way to the cell corridor. Here it was that the negro was turned over to them. Throwing a rope around hisu neck these men, numbering about 50,. drag ged him to the ground floor down stifling stairways and -through blind ing smoke to the street. He was prac tically dead before his body was strung to the light pole. Brown's' body was mutilated beyond recognition. , Riddled by a thousand bullets, it was first placed over a fire of tarred fagots. He was' not permit ted to remain there long and was soon being dragged through the street at the end-of a rope. This spectacle did not end until late in the morning hours " when what remained of the torso was hung to a trolley pole. The arrival of the federal troops caused a dispersal of the mob.
