GIPSY SMITH M
CLOSI
.Gipsy Smith preached his closing
sec won in the Tabernacle last night
to a packed house. There was a congtegatkm
numbering perhaps 4,000,
. the tabernacle being filled to overflowing.
The final sermon was one of
the greatest he has preached in Union.
The text was chosen from the incident
ef the rich young man who came to
Jeetm asking: "What must I do to
he saved?" The text was: "He went
fcway."_ The speaker was at his best,
and drove home convincingly the great
lessons which he drew from the gospel
narrative. The young man had money.
Mends, prestige he was moral, highly
' cultivated, moved in the best circles.
But all these things did not satisfy.
, < . He came to Jesus to find satisfaction, I

the blessing he sought becausf he was

to him, "Go, sell all that thou hast.

LAST OF GREEKS
QUIT ADR1AN0PLE
Adrianople, Nov. 25 (By the Associated
Press).?The last of the Greek
gendarmes left Adrianople Tuesday,
p n? town was left in the hands of the [
French. Immediately on the departure
of the Greeks the city became a
mass of red with the flag of Turkey
predominating. The entire population
threw away their hats and re'
placed them with the fes. All the
Grade inscriptoins on shop windows
in the streets were erased or smash
ed or thrown into the streets. The
new governor, Gen. Tapir Bey, entered
the city Friday at the head of
?w mncun otnciais, tnree battalions
* of gendarmes and a squadron of
cavalry. The populace thronged the
atreeta to welcome the Turks. There
were numerous arches erected, for
them to pass under. The troops pmdented
arms as Tapir passed.
Tipir himself planted the Turld3h
<mg m
was warmly acclaimed by the crowds.
. At the same time a large Turkish
dag was run up on the minaret of the
celebrated mosque of Sultan Selim.
Tapir passed in review before the
Turkish military detachments a%j
then proceeded to the Sultan Selim
mosque followed by the crowds. There
-N a Turkish woman journalist delivered
" a-patriotic speech to which the governor
responded.
) Many portraits of Mustapha Kemal
"V. f Pasha draped in red were to be seen
on the balconies. The whole screme
of decoration was red and the correspondent
of the Associated Press
felt somewhat out of style in hi*
black hat 1 ^
The French commandant of Adrianople,
Colonel Uoar, accompanied by
his officers, officially called on Tapir
and turned over to him the city and
also eastern Thrace. The day passed
quietly. Untoward events were
entirely lacking.

ED LAST NIGHT
and turned his face away from God,
Christ and salvation. When you have
the impulse to seek God, keep your
face heavenward. Do not turn away.
If you will not come now, I plead with
you to at least keep an open mind,
seeking heart and your face towards
God.
At the close of the sermon the
preacher called for a response to the|
gospel message and several hundred
came forward and confessed Christ.
The contributions voluntarily made
to the evangelist totals more than
*3,500, and it is thought that the to
tal will, when all is received, amount
to $4,000. The tabernacle, together
with the other incidental expenses of
the meeting, the total sum raised for
the evengalist and all other expenses
aggregate $8 000.
Union has received a great spiritual
uplift through the work of Rev. Gipsy
Smith and his coltborers, and genuine
regret was felt when these faithful
servants of God left for a new point
to carry on the great work of evangelism.
acTof police
brings on riot
New York, Nov. 26.?Four persons
were arrested and a score were
s'ightiy injured ton'ght m a riot
which followed an attempt by the
police to berak up an overflow meeting
outside the F.arl Carroll theatre,
where speakers addressed a meeting
under the auspices of the American
Association for Recognition of the
Trish Republic. About 800 persons,
unable to gain entrance to the the.
atre were crowded about Edward
Maillard, who was speaking from a
'adder propped against the building
when the police ordered him to stop.
The crowd interfered when Maillard
was placed under arrest. Reserves
^ere called, but were driven off by the
crowd.
Upon the arrival of the fire apparatus
in answer to a call from the reserves
a battalion chief refused to
1 urn the hose on the crowd when asked
eKyga by A leader w^eswved?**
The meeting in the street followed
a parade of protest against the execution
of Erskine Childers by the Irish
^ree State.
lhe meeting in the theatre at which
Prank P. Walsh presided passed resolutions
calling upon President Harding
and congress to protest against
the "ruthless reign of terror in Ireland."
Among the speakers at the meeting
were Mrs. Hanna Sheehy-Skeffington
md Peter MacSw ney, brother of
Mary MacSwiney, who is now on the
?.2nd day of a hunger strike, as a
protest against her imprisonment in
u Dublir jail.
Dublin, Nov. 26 (By the Associated
Press.?Annie MacSw:ney still is'
fasting outside the Mount Joy prison.]
Since she was ejected from a position
at the inner gate of the prison late
Thursday night by the military she
has occupied a position on a public
platform.
A constant stream of sympathizers
passed her cot today, stopping a moment
before the screen concealing the
stretcher on which she lies to observe
wh?t they might. or to offer prayers.
Miss MacSwoiney says a military
officer yesterday gave her an order to
move, but she declined to do so and
declared that if the military interfered
with her she would call the
policeman on duty and charge the
military With assault. Nothing further
happened, although she declared
the officer later made representation1
about a fire in t*?e roadway near herj
cot which her friends had built. |
Miss MacSwmey has addressed a I
etter to every member of parliament
protesting against the action of the
provisional government in detaining
her s&ter, Mary MacSwiney, who is
on a hunger strike inside the prison.
Annie MacSwiney today sent the
following reply to a cable despatch revived
from a sister in North Carolina
who begged her to abandon her faat in
thanksgiving for Majq MacSwiney
having received the sacraments. "It
is impossible," said Miss MacSwiney's
answer. "You aon't understand. The
fight is for justice against inhumanity.
She (Mary) is very low. Be very
happy. We are."

coursing down his cheeks, Debs beg

form despite the protests that hi
strength was unequal to the strain.
"I am just recovering from the ef
fects of a speech I made almost fou
vears ago," Debts told the audience
"It was a record making speech,
began it at Canton. Ohio, and finishei
it at Atlanta penitentiary. But ther
is nothing to regret. I opposed th
war and I still oppose war. I wouli
not go to war at the command of an;
capitalist country on the face of th

of the 60,000 American boys who per

create 30,000 new millionaires in thi
country. I spoke, at Canton from i
deep sense of conviction, and afte

WE DEAD IN
BURNED HOUSE
Bristol, Va-Tenn., Nov. 2&?James
V. Smith, 50, grocer, his wife, the;r
wo year old daughter, Ruby, and
tieir niece, Mrs. Deline Burchfield,
nd her son, Charles, 13, were found
ead here early this morning, the
ouse in which they lived burned
ver their heads.
Ben Burchfield, 41, husband of thj
ead woman, was arrested at Johnson
'ity this afternoon and is being held
i connection with the crime. Ho
vivbm iiib miiuccnce out omcers say
is shirt and trousers were covered
rith blood when he was taken.
The crime was discovered about i
'clock this morning when the fire dcartment
was called to the combina,on
residence and grocery store of
mith on State street. When the
antes had been extinguished the
barred bodies of the five were found
l the ruins of the structure. They
vidently had been beaten to death
rith an axe or some other heavy ini
lement and the house set afire to
ide any trace of the crime.
Burchfield and his wife had been
cparated, and he is said to have
iade threats against her. The poce
say he came to them and said his
rife was contemplating a divorce and
e would rather see her dead than
r have any one else have her.
Burchfield was employed in a resaurant
here. He had been in Bristol
bout 60 days, coming here from
forth Carolina. The family previusly
had lived at Johnson C.ty,
"enn., and in West Virginia.
Officers are investigating tonight
eports that Smith had yesterday sold
piece of property and was supposed
o have had a large sum of money
>n his person. This was not found,
lurchfield had about $30 on him when
Treated.
Mrs. Burchfield's son was by a preious
marriage.
Local authorities announced tolight
that Bunhfield would be
irought here for a hearing tomorrow
iiternoon. He was brought here th a
ifternoon to view the bodies in a leal
undertaking establishment.
The man showed no concern while
Doking at the charred remains of his
rife. He calmly chewed gum through
he ordeal. From here Burchfield
ras taken to the SutlTvan county
ail at Blountville.
As soon as the bodies were disco*'red
a drag net was thrown about
he city. Every road was guarded
y police and deputy sheriffs.

ALLIES WILL
FOLLOW AMERIC
Laussne, Nov. 26 (By the Ass<
ated Press).?The position of
United States on Turkish capitu
?.ions will probably be found to be ]
essentially different from the Frei
and English positions, particularly 1
French, when the time comes to <j
vuss that delicate topic. To avi
wounding Turkish national pride
movement is tinder way to abolish 1
distasteful word "capitulations" al
gother as applied to Turkey, wh:
dislikes anything that savors of
public admission indicating surrern
of national administrative rights.
All the great powers will undoul
edly follow America's lead in insi
ing that foreigners accused of crii
shall still come to trial before fi
e.gn courts in Turkey and that f<
c :gn courts in Turkey and that f<
c gn, or at least mixed tribunals, sh
have jurisdiction in property dispui
involving foreigners.
It seems likely that France v
propose the establishment of juuri
cal guarantees as a substitute 1
capitulations touching on juridi
privileges enjoyed by foreign re
dents. France has a large Mosl
Population in her north Africa co
nies, who were loyal to France in 1
great war, and she has logical r
sons for insisting upon equita
treatment for the Mohammedan poi
lation at this moment when Turke
political status in the world is be
definitely fixed at Lausanne.
Like the United States, howe\
France probably will not submit
having her citizens tried by Turk
courts, which are essentially foum
oil Moslem laws.
When it comes to the taxation
rorcign property and the fixing of c
toms tariff, France probably also i
he found ranged beside the Amerii
position. France will undoubtc
propose some plan whereby fore
nroperty in Turki.y will be obliged
contribute some revenue to the Tu
ish state and an impartial inter
iional examination of the Turi
customs tariff problem, like that
corded China as the outgrowth of
Washington conference.

ac- j of friends and some of his children,
the! was taken to a jury room to await
j the reopening of the court. The moi
tion for a new trial was denied and
ted at 5:21 o'clock Judge Peurifoy oreen
dered Faries to stand up to hear his
>ng sentence. _
nps- "I have wondered^ Judge Petrrlfoy
ug- told the aged defendant, "if you could
the retrace your steps if you would live
jild your life differently. Now, I think.
. you have come to know what it means
to strike down and kill in anger and
| possibly you could tell the young
; folk of this city something about the
I control of the passions. But your
race is run. I do not know what your
intentions were in youth. But if good
1 intentions are not translated into
good actions, they fall short of value.
You have taken the wrong angle. You
might have made friends of these
people, but instead you fed the flames
of anger, and as a result you stand
today, just as the sun is sinking, almost
in the very presence of your
Maker. Your attorneys may g?t you
a new trial, but my advice to you in
not to rely upon this hope, but now,
I without delay, to muke your prepara.
1 ions to meet your God."
For 14 minutes Judge Peurifoy
talked and for 14 minutes Faries,
having admitted that he had nothing
further to say that had not already
been said, stood watching the
judge and waiting for the inevitable
solemn "and may God have mercy
upon your soul." As the minutes
wore on, his gaze wandered and all
the time he showed no signs of emo
tion other than the constant twirling
of his big black hat. The strain,
however, had begun to tell and it
required conscious effort on his part
to reply under the coaching of his
attorney to the judge's query as 11
whether he had anything to say why
sentence of death should not be
' passed upon him, he stammered,
choked, then caught himself and answered,
"Nothing except what my
ke(j counsel has said before."
