METCALF STILL BIG REVIVAL TABERNACLE ENLARGED Many Turned Away Last Night from Dr. Bulgin's Evangelistic Service More than 1,500 were in attendance last night at the Bulgin revival as the big tent at the corner of Claudina and Wilhelmina-ts was packed to capacity, and many were turned away. The tent will be enlarged for next week to bring the seating capacity up to 2,500. Plenty of gas stoves have ASSERTS U. S. HAS NO MORAL RIGHT By DAVID M. CHURCH (L.N. S. Staff Correspondent) LONDON, Jan. 16—The Paris agreement which granted the United States two and one-quarter percent of the Dawes annuities was "astounding" Philip Showden, formerly chancellor of the exchequer declared today in an interview in the Manchester Guardian. "The United States entered the Paris agreement, and certainly will be involved in an sanctionions the allies may carry out in the event Germany defaults in the Dawes plan." Showden declared. The United States has no moral right to participate in the Dawes annuities," added Showden. He said that when the allies allowed the United States to participate it was apparently a concession of the allies to secure the aid of the United States in enforcing the Dawes plans." The United States he said, "May find she has bought this concession for a big price." STILL "LIFE" SUPERVISION SEEK MORE GAS TAX Recommend Addition One Cent to Presen Two-cent Charge SACRAMENTO, Jan. 16—dition of one cent to the pre-two-cent tax on gasoline by motor vehicles, was remended today at the convergence of the County Supervisors' Office of California, with a few dising votes. Many Turned Away Last Night from Dr. Bulgin's Evangelistic Service More than 1,500 were in attendance last night at the Bulgin revival as the big tent at the corner of Claudia and Wilhelmina sts was packed to capacity, and many were turned away. The tent will be enlarged for next week to bring the seating capacity up to 2,500. Plenty of gas stoves have been installed and the big tent is kept cozy. The choir continues to increase in numbers, swelled by continual additions from all the larger Protestant Churches in the city, and from other towns. Dr. Bulgin announced last night that seven local pastors had been interviewed, and told him that they were squarely behind them, so go ahead. This much more than over-balances the opposition of Dr. J. A. Glessinger, political preacher, and those ministers under his influence, three of whom have since backed down in their opposition to the Bulgin revival. The only local Protestant ministers now opposing the revival are Glessinger, Schmeltzer and Walker, and the greater percentage of their congregations are in attendance. Bulgin spoke last night from Matthew 22:42: "What think ye of Christ?" His subject tonight is announced as "Seven Great Doctrines of The Bible." There will be no services Saturday night. The choir gave several renditions, and Alvin Carter, soloist, sang, "Give me that old time religion" accompanied by Roy Gourley, pianist. Mrs. Q. Lee Shoemaker, local singer, sang one of her own beautiful compositions. Mrs. Shoemaker's song was preceded by prayer by Rev. V. K. Ledbetter, while the congregation stood. The audience then sang, "When the Veil is Lifted at Last," edited by Dr. Bulgin's son who was accidentally shot and killed. The audience stood, and Mrs. Shoemaker sang the last verse alone. Then there's was 'prayer again' by Alvin Carter. Bulgin said "Stand for the right thing, and you'll not get into trouble. Anaheim's thinking about God. You would think to read the press that everybody is flying at everybodyelse's throat, but I haven't seen any blood flowing yet. There is an opposition of unrightousness against righteousness, but on the whole Anaheim is peaceful. You have a fine looking town here, and she doesn't look to me like she is on the way to the bowwows. That's only press talk. Stop your wrangling and settle down to peace. You are mighty contemptibly narrow if you can't love somebody who happens not to believe as you do, and not agree with you on a secret right to participate in the Dawes annuities," added Showden. He said that when the allies allowed the United States to participate it was apparently a concession of the allies to secure the aid of the United States in enforcing the Dawes plans." The United States he said, "May find she has bought this concession for a big price." STILL "LIFE OF PARTY" IN JAIL SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 16.—A sweeping federal probe of the booze parties that 16-year-old Dorothy Ellingson, who killed her mother attended, and announcement that a board of five alienists probably would examine the girl soon were chief developments today in California's most unusual murder case. Capt. of Detectives Duncan Mathewson announced that he would agree to the naming of a board composed of two alienists selected by the state, two by the defense and the city physician to observe the girl. Federal prohibition authorities requested from the police information they obtained in their round-up of Dorothy's associates as the basis of a general probe of the "jazz land" which the girl lived in. After a restaurant breakfast sent in from the outside—for Dorothy has become affluent thru the sale of stories and interviews—the girl slayer was taken to the bureau of identification and "mugged." She did not object to the pictures altho the poses were not to her liking. She disliked, however, the "muss" of having her finger prints taken. May Fitzgerald, a girl with whom Dorothy ran away a year ago, and who was a member of a beach party with her Aug. 22, was brought to police headquarters today for questioning. She admitted having been on the party but denied the entry in Dorothy's diary that she was intoxicated. "I was just dizzy," she said. Dorothy always attracted a lot of attention by her loud talking," she said. Recommend Addition One Cent to Present Two-cent Charge SACRAMENTO, Jan. 16.—dition of one cent to the pre- two-cent tax on gasoline by motor vehicles, was remanded today at the convergence of the County Supervisors A of California, with a few dising votes. Hot discussion concerning wording of the resolution timed for two hours. A minority report of the resolution mittee advised increase of tax by one cent with the pro- that it be spent on trunk lining. A minority report, sponsored entirely by Los Angeles supervisors, provided for the increase with the proviso that the money be expended in in-diate construction of two trunk lines to the Oregon Mexican borders and the lateral lines connecting California with Nevada. Supervisor Richard Welch San Francisco, said that the Angeles report was aimed elimination of state highway in the construction of the shore boulevard which he clared was the only means of trance or exit into his city; serviors P. E. Corgswell and H. Dean of Los Angeles repet that present policy of pieces construction of roads was unairable, and that if the Orion connection and Nevada later were not completed without lay, few persons of middle would live to see their com- PARIS AGREEMENT CAUSES DISCOUN WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.—discordant rumble was g row around under cover in the se ctoday over the agreement sit at Paris by Secretary of St Desighate Kellogg whereby United States becomes an off participation in the operation the Dawes plan to collect reptions from Germany.

You are mighty contemptibly narrow if you can't love somebody who happens not to believe as you do, and not agree with you on a secrete organization. I think we'd better sing, 'Bleat be the Tie that Binds our Hearts in Christian Love,' and let the audience stand, and everyone shake hands with the one next to you. The evangelist said he was here for two things: to save men and to get a better atmosphere in which for saved men to live. Prayer services for today were announced by Rev. Ledbetter, Bulgin said that prayer is the key that opens God's storehouse, and lets out His blessings on His people. Carter and Gourley sang, "I have a Friend." The evangelist said that what the world needs today is real friendship. The speaker said that there is only three courses open to the question of his text: "Is He a man? or is He God? or Will you let him alone?" If you say He was a man, then produce a better man. If you say He is God, then accept Him. "What think ye of Christ?" A man who can't think is a fool; a man who is afraid to think is a moral coward; a man who won't think is a bigot. Then if you don't want to be a tool nor a coward, nor a bigot, think. The speaker made an appeal to members of secret organizations, calling the Odd Fellows, the Klan, and the Masons, by name. I endorse anything that will make men better. If a Mason lives up to his vow he will go a long way towards Jesus Christ. If the Klansman lives up to his vows he'll not be a lawbreaker. But, later, he told Masons, Klansmen and Odd Fellows and all moral men and women, "If you reject Jesus Christ you'll be damned."

A woman will prosecute Dorothy Ellingson, 16-year-old, "jazz mania" victim for the murder of her mother, Mrs. Annie Ellington. Dist-Atty, Matthew Brady today selected Mrs. Theresa Melkke, his only woman assistant, to take charge of the prosecution. She will be tried in superior court on a capital charge, Judge Frank Murasky, head of the juvenile court department, today informed police that he waived jurisdiction and believed the girl should be tried for murder in superior court. Simultaneously it became known that Captain of Detective Mathieson, had ruled that the case was not to become another Loeb-Leopold affair. Freelance alienists and psychologists were barred from seeing the girl. If Dorothy is tried in superior court she could receive a life sentence but if her case is transferred to juvenile court the most severe sentence likely to be imposed upon conviction would be confinement to a state juvenile institution until she is 23. She would in all probability be sent to the state school at Ventura, Possibility that she would plead guilty and throw herself on the mercy of the court if her case is permitted to go into juvenile court was seen today. At 9 o'clock this morning Dorothy was still sleeping peacefully. Prison routine was dispensed in their case.

The Malahat according to reports is being attended by Coal Harbor and another Vancouver rum runner. The Coal Harbor is taking loads from the Malahat, and in turn acting as the "mother ship" to the fleet of San Francisco speed boats by means of which the bootleggers of the Golden Gate obtain the liquor. On account of inclement weather it is reported that the Malahut with one engine out of commission met with considerable difficulty on her journey, and was toward her position of the southern California coast by a tug from San Francisco. 35 SUFFER FROM GAS IN THEATER GROFTON, Neb., Jan. 16. — Thirty-five persons were suffering from monoxide gas poisoning here today following the near asphyxiation last night of a theatre audience in the local moving picture show. Investigation today disclosed the fact that children had stuffed rags into the exhaust pipe of the theatre gasoline engine and the deadly fumes coming back into the theatre threw the audience into panic.

Chapman, Los Angeles broker, who was shot to death in a holdup. At San Quentin, John Sears, 21, and Jack Ferdinand, 30, were sent to eternity and at Polson, John Geregac, 22, was executed. The double hanging at San Quentin in which both men dropped simultaneously thru the tram doors of the adjoining scaffolds was without unusual incidents. The trap was sprung at 10:03 and at 10:17 the prison physician announced that the men were dead. The trap was sprung at 10:08 and Geregac was pronounced dead by the prison physician nine minutes and 45 seconds later. "He faced death more courageously than any other man we have executed in years," was the brief comment of Warden J. J. Smith, who accompanied the youth to the gallows. Practically the last words uttered by the condemned boy were a protest of his innocence to Rev. Edward Mieras, Sacramento minister, who stayed with him in his cell until he started the walk to the gallows. "I am not afraid of death," Geregac told Rev. Mieras, a few minutes before his execution, "but the men who are responsible for this are guilty of murder. I was 90 feet from the place where the shooting occurred and took no part in the crime." One hundred thirty persons witnessed the hanging, the majority of whom were Los Angeles and Sacramento police officers. Several members of the legislature were among the witnesses. Geregac's execution was characterized by Gov. Richardson as a warning to other criminals. In statement denying eleventh hour appeals for mercy. Though he took no active part in the murder of Chapman, who was killed on the outskirts of Los Angeles, Geregac was declared by Richardson. (Copyright 1925 by Int. News Service) LOS ANGELES, Jan. 16. Forecasting his permanent retirement from the ring, Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion announced today he will be married in June. "I expect to marry Miss Estelle Taylor in June or a few weeks later possibly," Dempsey said. "Yes, we are engaged," said the heavyweight champion, "and the wedding will take place in June or a little later without fail." That Dempsey will quit the ring at the same time he takes up married life, was indicated in his exclusive statement. He said: "I would like to take a crack at Gibbons or some other contender for my title this year but I don't know about that. We will see what happens in the next four weeks. Then, if there are no fights coming up—well, what can a fellow do? Dempsey's engagement to Miss Taylor, a motion picture actress, had been rumored for many weeks, but today was the first time the champion admitted he was engaged. Miss Taylor was divorced a few days ago in Philadelphia. The light of love fliled the heavyweight king's eyes as he discussed his plans for the future. "Miss Taylor is a wonderful woman and I know we will be very happy," he said. "To tell the truth, I'm just crazy about her, and who wouldn't be." The champion said that he and Miss Taylor had planned to be married immediately but it was thought best by them to postpone the wedding in order to allow Miss Taylor to finish a number of pictures on which she is now engaged. "Everyone may be surprised by my announcement today," continued Dempsey. "但 I have never denied right out that we were engaged and all my close friends knew for some time that" Opponents Afraid to Face Facts Before Audience of Anaheim Voters Another 24 hours has elapsed and still no one has come forth to accept the challenge to meet Mayor Metcalf on a public platform before an intelligent audience of Anaheim voters and back up the cowardly attacks of the U.S.A. club upon the administratain. Bill Stark, former political boss and ex-saloonkeeper, has peeled. Imagine Stark standing on a public platform with a man of the ability and integrity of E.H.Metcalf, and trying to tell Anahil voters they should oust him after nine months in office after giving the city the best administration it has ever had. But because Anaheim voters declared nearly two to one against the Stark style of government at last spring's election, J.A.Gelsinger, political preacher, has been more instrumental than any one other individual in throwing the community into the turmoil incident to a recall election. But Gelsinger hasn't peeled yet, loud enough so anyone could interpret it as acceptance of the mayor's challenge. And Gelsinger likes to talk to crowded galleries too. He doesn't often have them now. In his mad last for power, Gelsinger has done here what he has done several other pieces, that is, wrecked his church. A prominent member of Gelsinger's church declared today. "One of the greatest leaders of the Methodist church in So.Calif., told a group of Anaheimers that he could believe everything said of Gelsinger's political activities here and a hundred times more. This grand old man of Methodism, who gets the chautaquau salute whenever he steps into a Methodist gathering anywhere, continued: 'I know what he did to our church at Long Bench, at University Place in Los Angeles, at Tucson and at El Paso.' He is running true to form. He is making a record for length of stay at Anaheim. At one time it was up to me to say whether Gelsinger should be given a certain position. I told others in authority that if it was a question of his coming or my going, I would certainly not delay departing." Since then Gelsinger has displayed the same venomous spirit that has characterized him since he was so thorny defeated last spring. He has repeatedly attacked from his pulpit the institution which declined his services. He grossly slandered the sister of One hundred thirty persons witnessed the hanging, the majority of whom were Los Angeles and Sacramento police officers. Several members of the legislature were among the witnesses. Gregae's execution was characterized by Gov. Richardson as "a warning to other criminals in statement denying eleventh hour appeals for mercy. Though he took no active part in the murder of Chapman, who was killed on the outskirts of Los Angeles, Gregae was declared by Richardson to be equally responsible with John Sears and Jack Ferdinand for the murder. A moment after the trap had been sprung under Sears and Ferdinand, four of the spectators pointed. Two of the men collapsed to the floor while the other two reeled against the crowd; they were immediately carried from the death chamber. WOULD KND HANGING SACRAMENTO, Jan. 16.—Almost simultaneously with the trial hanging at California penitentiaries today, Sen. Roy Fellom of San Francisco introduced a bill to bolish capital punishment in California. "Three men are just about to count the gallows," said Fellom, addressing the senate. "They cannot speak here for themselves on their behalf. I offer this bill as a final salutation to you of those who are about to die." "Let us hope that this horrible octacle of three men being arrested in cold blood by the great state of California, will be the last its kind and that the state will never again be subjected to witnessing anything so barbarous." These men will not have died in it if their deaths shall lead to abolition of hanging entirely. As an assemblyman Fellom induced a similar bill two years ago. It was killed in committee by first time. Fellom expressed the relief today that the present lieutenant would pass the measure. 200,000 FRUIT TREES—All leading varieties. Guaranteed true name.

"Everyone may be surprised by my announcement today," continued Dempsey, "but I have never denied right out that we were engaged and all my close friends knew for some time that we were to be married." That Dempsey will also announce his permanent retirement from the ring within the next few weeks was believed by those close to him. Teddy Hayes, the champion's secretary said: "Unless something unexpected turns up in the way of a match, it is likely Jack will never fight again." Miss Taylor said: "This is a surprise but its true; whatever Jack says is true, for he's my sweetheart and my business agent also. I am very happy." NEGRO EXECUTED MOUND CITY, Ill., Jan. 16—Hess Connors, negre, was hanged at 10:20 a.m. today at the Pulaski-co jail here for the murder of pretty 15-year-old Daley Wilson, in a holdout at Villa Ridge, near here July 22. His accomplice, Fred Hale, is serving a life sentence in the southern Illinois penitentiary. Connor walked calmly to the scaffold and was declared dead in fifteen minutes.

At one time it was up to me to say whether Geissinger should be given a certain position. I told others in authority if it was a question of his coming or my going, I would certainly not delay departing. "Since then Geissinger has displayed the same venomous spirit that has characterized him since he was so thorny defeated last spring. He has repeatedly attacked from his pulpit the institution which declined his services. He grossly slandered the sister of a bishop of our church. She demanded a hearing before proper authorities. The day of the hearing came and everyone was there—except Geissinger. He was yellow then and he in yellow now, imagine him meeting Mayor Metcalf on a public platform when he would have to exhibit some regard for the truth."
