"Sit doon," he told the choir, us

Gipsy Smith said he was pleased
with the opening day of his Omaha
campaign. The afternoon attend
ance, considcrip" the weather, was
gratifying, he said. The evangelist
said he was confident that Omaha
will respond to the invitation to at
tend the Auditorium meetings in the
evenings and the noonday mmetings
, in the Brandeis theater.
"There is no man in the world
who has so many friends as I have
and who deserves them less," was
one of the statements uttered by the
evangelist during his afternoon dis
course. Will Promote Welfare.
"This is your campaign and yon
will get out of it what you put in
it. You cannot afford to be outside
of this movement, because it is go
ing to be a movement that will pro
mote the welfare of your city, he
continued.
"The word 'revival' is what I want
you to think about. When we talk
about a revival, we are standing
solidly on Bible ground. When you
hear people criticize a revival, you
may conclude they are ignorant of
the ways of God.
"A revival is God's way of mak
ing things beautiful, of changing the
t'gly to the magnificent. None ob
jects to a revival in business, health
or in politics. The springtime is a
revival in nature. When I talk about
the woods you must forgive me. I
was born in the woods. You people
who were born within brick and
mortar houses know nothing of these
woods of which I sing. If you want
to know nature you must sleep with
her."
Will Energize Christians.
The evangelist described the flow
ers and the birds and other natural
beauties of his birthplace in Eng
land and then epitomized that scene
by saying, "There is color enough
there to make you think God had
broken up a rainbow into a million
atoms."
Continuing, he said: "I have heard
dead, nominal Christians say they
.didn't believe in revivals. If you
want to make an impression for
God and eternity, get into this re
vival. '
"What is a revival? Conversions!
sinners? No. A revival is that which
energizes, quickens, resuscitates
something that already has life; it
fans the flickering blaze into a
flame.- v '
Put God First in Omaha.
"I am praying for a revival that
will put God first in Omaha; that
will put God's day first; that will
make a man believe it is wrong to
play golf on Sunday afternoon and
go to church in the morning; that
will creep into the offices, stores
and factories and will awaken a
civic righteousness. - : '' .
"Some don't want a revival be
cause it means giving up easeit
means walking with God. The devil
doesn't believe in a revival; Jesus
does. Jesus is going to have his
place on this platforYn every day.
"Do you believe in a revival? Are
you willing to pay for it? Then
bring your dollars and let us clear
up this budget and get it out of the
way.
"The church is the place for the
people who want to be sincere. You
hinder someone if you are in the
church and are insincere. I once
asked a Methodist preacher if he
didn't want some new members in
his church and he replied he did not
because he had enough trouble with
the old ones.
"If we would stick to the word of
God without emphasizing our de
nominational differences, we would
advance farther in the cause of
Christianity. I know what real liv-
-ii t - . . A ,:r- :il
ing win ao, wnai an iiuucsi mc win
produce. The unanswerable argu
ment of Christianity is the healed
man, .the Christ-like man.
Praises His Father.
"If you mothers and fathers live
as my father lived, you would not
have much fear that your children
would go wrong. It is the loose
living in the home that lowers rev
erence among the children."
The evangelist tenderly referred
to his father, who was 90 years old
last May when the evangelist was in
England. .
"Not a man in Omaha is as hand
lome as my father," said the minis
ter. "It was the beautiful life of my
father that made it possible for me
to be here with you today. Bereft
of his wife and left with five children,
he led a Godly life and was an in
spiration to me."
Meetings will be held in the Audi
torium each evening at 7:30, except
Saturday. Noonday services in the
Brandeis theater, 11:50 to 12:50, from

Police Judge Frank . Capell at her
arraignment Saturday afternoon. In
a strained, scarcely distinguishable
voice she answered the judge's ques
tions. She was born in Chariton, la.,
and had married King six years ago
in Boise, Idaho, she told the court.
She showed little emotion as the
judge announced she would be held
without bond . for a grand jury trial.
Onlookers said she seemed not to
understand.
Sits Moaning in pell.
Several hours later she viewed the'
body of her husband at the Cutler
undertaking parlors. She swayed
dizzily. Her thin hand clutched at
her throat. Then she turned away.
The "tiger woman" sat moaning in
a solitary cell in the county jail last
night. She was held incommunicado.
The father turned his head away.
"To think that it was I who got
him the job," he repeated, in a dull,
lifeless voice.
Later the father explained that
Robert had been a special agent for
but six weeks. . He, himself, had
worked at the same occupation, Mr.
Murray said.
Body Taken Home.
He had been called to Omaha by

charnel house with Mrs. King dur
ing the shooting:, was identified by
Warden Fcnton of the Nebraska
state orison as Rasmus Olsen. a for
mer convict at Lincoln. Bullis denied
that he had ever been in prison
Identification of King was first
made by Edward Duda, Bertulon ex
pert at Central police station in
Omaha. He took finger prints ot
the dead man in the forenoon.
King's alias is Thomas Lander and
his criminal record shows he has
operated in San Francisco, Stockton,
Cal.; Minneapolis and Kansas Uty
as a yegg and con man.
"Queen" Breaks Down.
When county authorities took Mrs.
King to Cutler's undertaking estab
lishment to view the body of the
slain man, the little woman took
one glance at the cold form, then
went into hysterics.
"Tom, Tom," she cried, as she
flung herself on the bier.
The woman was returned to her
cell in the county jail. Judge Capell
had bound her over to the grand
jury. Justice of the Peace Hollis
bound Tierney over to the grand
jury.
Federal Officer Sumner Knox, who
led the railroad officers on the raid
for stolen goods gave" up the posse
hunt for the missing: gunmen and re
turned to Council Bluffs. The posse
failed to make the raid on another
farm house, where they said they
thought the escaped men may have
gone.
Sought to Identify Men.
Warden" Fenton of Lincoln, Chief
of Police Johnston and Hans Niel
sen, Bertillon expert, all of Lincoln,
drove to Council Bluffs in an effort
to identify the prisoners as members
of a robber gang that operated re
cently about Lincoln. Warden Fen
ton could only identify Bullis. He
said the prisoner was a former con
vict in the Nebraska penitentiary.
While making at search of the
robbers' rendezvous the Nebraska
officers unearthed an acetylene
safe-blowing outfit hidden in
haystack back of the house.
County officers also searched the 10-
acre premises for a trace of a cache
of goods that the King gang is sus
pected of having stolen from box
cars in Missouri Valley, la.
' Believe Three Hiding.
According to . county authorities '
who were in the posse another mem
ber of the King gang, thought to be
Tom Haley, is believed to be in hid
ing somewhere in the surrounding:
hills with Bennett and McKenzie.'
Elmer Lane, wounded detective, is
also of the opinion three of the rob
ber suspects are still missing; instead
of two. Railroad Detectives Morgan
and Jones and Federal Officer Sum
ner Knox say that only two men are
missing.
What charges would be filed
against Bullis, who is in the city jail
at Council Bluffs, was not stated by
County Attorney Swanson.
The raid on the King gang broke
up one of the most daring criminal
bands in the Missouri valley, officers
claim. Wholesale thefts of " mer
chandise from stores in small towns
and box cars, beside recent safe
blowing jobs are attributed to the
gang.
Mrs. Lena Snyder, owner of the
farm, who leased it to "W. A. Ben
nett," visited the place Saturday
afternoon and deplored the condition
in which the gang left it.

necessary to keep tne wan routes iu
operation. '
Plan To Un AlrpUne
Whenever it proves impossible to
move the mail by train, airplanes
and government and private trucks
and automobiles will be requisi
tioned. Mr. Hays telephoned Sec
retary Weeks for information as to
the number of army cars and air
planet that could be placed at the
disposal of the poMoftice depart
ment for this purpose.
Ascall for volunteer aviators may
be issued, for the postmaster gen
eral contemplates using every avail
able plane lor mail carrying in the
event of an emergency. The only
airplane mail service till in opera
tion is that o nthe transcotinental
toutc between New York and San
Francisco. Additional planes will
be assigned to this route.
The postoffice department has a
large number ol reserve planes
which department officials say can
be speedily conditioned for service
on such other routes as may be es
tablished. Complete Survey Planned.
A survey ot the entire situation I
will be made by the postal authori
ties in the next 10 days, to deter
mine on what mail carrying routes
it may come necessary to employ
airplanes and automobiles. The
war department has several thou
sand cars scattered throughout the
country, a large portion of which
can be placed at the disposal of the
postoffice department: In addition,
privately owned trucks and cars will
be employed.
The postmaster general sought
the opinion of the attorney general
on that portion of the strike order
which reads.
"So far as your legal right to
strike is concerned, there is no dif
ference between a mail train and a
freight train. You have identically
the same right to refuse to perform
service on a mail train as you have
on a freight train.
Studying Question
Mr. Daueherty is understood to
have informed Mr. Hays he was not
prepared to give a definite opinion
until his assistants had completed a
study cf the law and the decisions of
the courts.
I am studying the Question." said
Mr. Daugherty tonight, "and I can
say no more than I believe the un
ion leaders would find it difficult to
sustain their position on the ques
tion of refusing to carry the mails."
One of the suggestions under
stood to be under consideration by
the attorney general and his advis
ers is that the government seek an
injunction restraining the unions
from interfering with the mail ser
vice. -This wduld raise the whole
question of the right to strike.
Ihe injunction in the miners' strike
two years ago was sought and
granted under the authority of the
war legislation for the control "of
food and fuel, which no longer is in
effect.
Injunction in 1894.
The injunction in the railroad
strike in 1894 restrained violent inter
ference with the transit of the mails
but 'did not involve the Question of
peaceable refusal to operate mail
trains, fcugene Debs was imprisoned
at that time for contempt of the
court issuing the injunction.
President Harding will not reach
a final decision on his contemplated
program of action until the, conclu
sion of the conference between the
Interstate Commerce commission
and the member, of the railway labor
board representing the public, who
reachd Washintogn at hi summons
yesterday. The discussion of the
situation by the officials will be re

be laid befote the president, he
hopes, within the next 48 hours.

the future of lm iud. at this
time had never been previously an
nounced and, lirinn a new feature,
the trade was taken ctmidT,tlily by
