MINSTER IS HUGGED TO
DEATH BY HIS AUDIENCE
Thomasville. Ca.. Oct. 7. Rev. An
drew J. Simpson, noted evangeflst In i
this section of Georgia, died yesterday j
at Palvo as a result of being too vig-1
crously hugged by his excited hearers, j
The hugging was indicted upon him I
several days ago at a country church ;
where he was conducting a revival. i
Simpson was preaching to a great
congregation and he warned his hear
ers up to unwonted excitement by the
fervor of his address. j
In a religious frenzy men and women '
rushed at the preacher and began to i
hug him, crying that
he had saved
them from their sins.
Under the ex-
citement 6orr.e of the men put more 1
power in their hugs than usual, and !
t'je preacher finally fainted. I
He was taken to his home, and doc-1
tors who were called found that Mr.
Simpson's ribs had been crushed and :
that internal organs had been dlsar-i
ranged by the hugging to which the'
minister had been subjected. 1
F.fTorts of the doctors to repair the
Injuries caused by the hugging proved
vain and Simpson died yesterday. )

THE
CHANGE FOR LIFE
GIVEN DE PALMA
Surgeons Say Motor Pilot Will
Recover Unless Complica
tions Set in.
Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. 7. Ralph
De Palma, the automobile race driver,
who was seriously injured in the
Grand Prix race Saturday, is thought
had a good chance for life providing
no complications 6et in.
It was found that the handle of a
jack which De Palma carried in a
brace on his car pierced the driver's i
are other injuries the driver suffered
PqIaVi Rroov a-hnoa rar TIa Ta 1 m n
hit, issued a statement in which he i
t'fends nis position. It was intimated
that Bragg had refused to give De
Pnlmfl nnrt nf th rojid in th hriinh
which ended in the accident. The
Californian denies this.
i . ... . .
"We were botn beating it," said
Bragg. "I was slightly in the lead of
i Palma s car out sufficiently aneaa
j to refrain from taking chances. There
nen ne rose over me crown ne
I probably saw me just in front of him
! end attempted to put on brakkes im
j mediately. The brakes could not re
j spond, as De Palma's speed at this
feint would have caused his car to
I leap clear off tbe ground. This also
would prevent him steering. The re-
suit was that before he could round
i me he hit the rear of my ms chine and
overturned. The talk that I would
! not give him the road is absurd."
j The accident has robbed Bragg of
I most of the pleasure Incidental to win
ning the 6peed classic. The Califor-
f'an doubts whether he will ever drive
again, as his sisters and friends are
set against him entering more races.
De Palma's mechanician, Tom Alley,
left the hospital today. His injuries
consisted of only a slight fracture of
the left shoulder.
Tony Scudelarl, who accompanied
Bruce-Brown on the practice spin last
Tuesday which ended in Brown's
death, was conscious today and his
condition is reported favorable. He
takes considerable nourishment and
hospital physicians attending him say
b's chances for pulling through are
giod.
Promoters of the meet InsiBt that
they have lost money, but are deter-
n ined to come back for the privilege
of running the races again. Over 150, -
f-Ofi persons saw Saturday's race for
the Grand Pnxe, but according to the
finance committee, less than 15,000 of
tl eee paid for the privilege. All but
; a few of the drivers have left town and

searching for a little cherub face with
a red hat and a checkered jacket. The
girl was in the postorhce with her
mother, Mrs. Paul Lipke, of Milan,

walked out the door and down the
street. Two minutes later, after Mrs.
Lipke had finished addressing a postal
card, she called Mary, but. upon re

feared the girl had gone down to the

wanderer was finally located on Sev

When asked by the policeman where
she was going, little Mary said: "I
was hunting for dollies."

Fueblo, Col Oct. 7. That the rnited

by Governor Wilson in a speech today.
Corroborative evidence of that asser

him every day.
Wilson gave for publication a letter
he said was forwarded to him from
democratic national headquarters as
having been circulated by Chairman

the country. The letter, in part: t
