NEWS IN GENERAL Hja refusal to preach over the body of an Americah doughboy killed at Chnutea-Therry because the coffin was draped with the Stars and Stripes has caused the Rev. John Snavely. Lancaster, Pa., to become the storm center of an investigation just launched by the American Legion ofthat city. The body was resting ih the vestibule of the church and the family gnd friends were waiting when the minister issued his edict. The Legion immediately took charge of the remains and obtained another minister. i An. amendment to the federal tax bill was adopted by the House as a result of the efforts of Representative H. P. Fulmer, of Soutn Carolina, including in the exemption from federal taxation not only the gate receipts J or agricultural fairs at present, but also admissions to any exhibit entertainment or other f>ay feature conducted by such association as part of any such fair, if the proceeds therefrom are used for the maintenance and operation of such agricultural fairs. A crime wave at present sweeping England, Ireland! and Prance is proof that crime.in the United States can not be attributed to prohibition, Dr. Robert O. aMtthews of Washington, representing the national prohibition commissioner, declared in an address at the national W. C. T. U. convention. A group of jAmericun farmers, comprising the advance guard of a colonization scheme said to involve more than two hundred families from the we a tarn United States, arrived in Peru, South America, recently en route to the Pampa del Sacramento valley along the eastern head waters of the Amazon riyar, in northern Peru, where the colony is to be etsablished. A quick trial was promised by District Attorney Swart for William A. High tower, itinerant baker, who was was held to answer to a charge of murder in connection with the death of the Rev. Patrick Heslin, Col ma, California, priest. No additional details of the reporting shooting UP of MacCienny, coutnjy ??! of Baker county, Fla., Saturday night are available and the fldfeir is as deep a mystery as when _ ^vglexi brought news to Jacksonville of the occurrence Telephone calls to various citisene ef MacCienny and surrounding towns elicited the response that they would not discuss the matter. MacCienny is only thirty miles west of Jacksonville but the (raviiy 01 me nuuBupn was ;na:catcd by the fact that although the shooting occurred Saturday night nothing was heard of it in Jacksonville until Monday. Persons who brought the news said there were no casualities but that the fronts of two stores on the principal business street were demolished by gun fire.

The theft of the still from the sheriff's office is regarded by officers as the most audacious in the annals of the county. Thieves apparently gained entrance through a window and unlocked the doors from the inside. The still was taken out through the front door loaded into nn automobile or truck, .and caried away without being discovered. Officers did not discover the robbery until they came to the office this morning. ROBERT S. TRUESDALE, D. D. ACCEPTS S. S.
