The anthem: "Gloria in Exelsis" by a vested choir of 75 voices was a real inspiration, which was followed, after Scripture reading by a baritone sole by Walter Jenkins. "The Palms." which carried the audience heavenward. The reception of members follow ed. Fifty-eight joined the church. Then follomed the sermon by Dr. Allen. "The Royal Eentry." based on Mark 11:1-10. which was pictured as one of the bright days in the life of Jsus as he entered the holy city as the "Prince of Peace."

The whole service lasted only one hour and fifteen minutes. Uncover Scheme in Chicago to Use Lot of Fake Votes Thompson-Crowe Crowd Are Alleged to Be the Benefijcaries of the Plot. Chicago. 111., April 6. Federal agents hunting down beer fiats in their prohibition investigation today were said to have uncovered a gigantic plan to steal the forthcom ing primaries by using 100 thousand fraudulent votes. Investigation shows that the alleged beneflcaries of the plot were to be candidates of Mayor Thompson and State's Attorney Rob ert If. Crowe, the federal agents said. Thousands of names, obviously fic titious, have been placed on the poll books, waiting for appearance of "floaters" demanding ballots. The chief steal wa3 most noticeable in 10 of the most heavily congested wards. In four of these wards are hundreds of hotels and rooming houses. It is found that thousands of names have been registered as guests at hotels and lodging houses and many other thousands have beeu registered from the scores of beer flats that have sprung up like mush rooms all over the city. These beer . flats am hpinp used no "colonization points" for "floaters" who vote only a dozen times or so, ana armeu "stincers." armed hoodlums, who sometimes by threats and other times by "floater" methods, cast as many.sives nave swepi me f-iaie m ueie- as a nunarea Daiiots eacn. The investigation now under way ! reveals that the floaters were to be used not only to vote the fictitious name but to sneak into the polls J ahead of legitimate voters and cast their ballots for the machine gang, thus depriving the tardy voter of his ballot. After the federal agents had un covered the plot, telephone wires were topped and several conversa tions between political leaders and henchmen were overheard. These were instructions to the proprietors of bear flats to have "floaters" go to 'the places from which they are registered and be able to give the Blierl 11 u ill uri a tiuu utmiiuv iuc j t v. if any questions should be asked at the polling booths.

Wilwaukee, Wis., April 4 La Fol- lette progressives appeared tonight to have weathered the most effective assault upon their forces In the last 12 years with assurance that they would dominate the state's delega tion in the republican national con vention but probably by only a nar row margin. It appeared probable tonight upon the basis of returns from two-thirds of the precincts that the state pri mary election Tuesday had designat ed 15 progressives pledged to Sen ator George "Ar. Norris, Nebraska in surgent, and 11 republicans, eight of whom are uninstructed. Two are pledged to former Governor Frank O. Lowden and one to Herbert Hoov er. Returns from the complicated election were the slowest in years. Clean Sweep for Smith. Governor Al Smith made a clean sweep of the state in the democratic primary, gaining the state's entire delegation of 26 headed by John M. Callahan, national committeeman, while Senator James A. Reed of Mis souri, alone on the ballot, was the popular choice for presidential nom- inee Unless the trend of the vote throughout the state takes a decided adverse turn, the republican forces I will elect more anti-progressive dele gates than have been sent to a na tional convention from Wisconsin since 191G. In that year progres- gate ngnis. Explanation Sought. The delegate at large fight appear ed to have established Senator Rob- ; ert M. La Follette as the successor to his father as the greatest vote get ter in the state. La Follette, who will seek re-election in the fall, gain ed the largest vote of all candidates for delegate at large, and led his col league. Senator Blaine, who was gov ernor for six years, byt several thou sand votes. In seeking an explanation for the failure of La Follette progressives to capture the entire state delegation. political observers held that the democratic revival In the state push- ed by Smith men was partly respon sibfe. It -has been be! A -for years-th4 with the wane of the democratic party in Wisconsin during the past three decades most of the deflection from the ranks have been gains for the progressives. D. A. R.
