Meeting of Independents to
Cut Gas Prices Gets Nowhere
t.'aU*d PreM D (spateA
CHICAGO. July 37.—A national
convention Of Independent otl men.
refiners and distributors called to
lower gasoline prices ended fn an
uproar without accomplishing
purpose today. Adjournment
proclaimed amid a near Hot.
After fifteen hours of heated de-
bate, the only action taken by the
conference w«s adoption of a res-
olution providing for an Investiga-
tion Into the cost Of finding, pro-
ducing and marketing petroleum
products
Distributors said they were earn-
ing a 10 cent profit on gasoline, due
to tremendous over production and
quantities of gasoline In storage
They charged that refiners, trying
to unload their over-production,
were selling gasoline to distribu-
tors' competitors four to six cents
lower, who In turn sold It lower
than the accredited distributor.
They argued that it ihe prices
were reduced, the public
benefit, the profif margin
be narrowed "*nd competitors
would be unable to under-eell them.
Refiners stated that a price re-
duitlon now would demoralise tne
Industry. They declared that the
over-production would be consum-
ed In sixty days and If prices were
lowered now they would then ad-
vance several cents above the pres-
ent level.

NEW YORK. July 27.—A gunman
and a screaming woman shot two
policemen to death on the running
board of a taxicab on the Upper
East Side here last midnight.
The nuid-spattered bodies of the
two patrolman were found in the
gutter where they had rolled and
they died before they could reveal
the mystery of the strange mur-
der. The taxicab dashed away and
was lost tn the mam of after thea-
tre traffic from Broadway. ,
Hundreds of police are prowling
today through Bowery dives for the
murderers and the underworld is In

making of it a universal agency

The churches wore also called

warring enffips (^intending
over non-essentials, but. alas, over
the very foundation principles of
Christianity."
If this theological war la fought
present generation will perish for
lack of vision. "Believing In the
Sincerity and high moral charac-
ter of these warring theologians,"
he said,'"I l>eg of them In the name
of Christ and perishing humanity
that they will quietly, lovingly,
prayerfully gather about a table
.with God's book before them ana
let that settle every disputed ques-
tion. That book la the ultimate
ground fo/- authority."
Dr. I^aws criticised the people
who fall to attend church. Today
we have the Arabs of the avenues
and the Bedouins of the boulevards,
he said, and they are "as far re-
moved from Christian Influences as
those who dwell .in the slums or
poverty and squalor.
"The palatial hotels and magnifi-
cent apartment houses send as few
people to the churches as do the
tenement house districts. Our
hearts are touched when we hear
of vast stretches of territory on
the frontiers where no- church peo-
ple can be seen. But far more
sinister Is the fact that gorgeous
church buildings, almost countless
In number, are to be found In the
midst of the teeming millions of
all our great cities ministering to
but a handful of people or els® ut-
terly deserted and finally aban-
doned."

“I overhead a merchant talking
today." said "Bill," "about Increased
business There are two ways of
getting more business," said he
"One Is to take business awsy from
our competitors snd the other Is to
create more business than now ex-
ists in Denton.
There ar* two ways that bufllneffS
may be created without Injuring
competition First, by growth of
population, and second, by Increas-
ing the purchas|ng power of each
individual. If Denton Is worth living
In It will attract more population
and the population that is funda-
mentally prosperous will Increase
its purchasing power.
"Both of these factors’ declared
the merchant, "depend to a large
extent upon the development of the
community as a whole. The first re-
sponsibility In every way thut Is
possible.. "Bill". Dollar must never
be permitted to leave thlsi city, nor
should any of his brothers get away
to other cities. They are all needed
here ’at home. The merchants must

They shouTfi "hffver spend a cent out

bought here.
As a merchant and business man
my prosperity depends upon the
success of Denton and I feel that 1 >
owe something to Denton far In ex
cess of what our clffy owes me
Everything I buy shall be from
Denton merchants an;! I shall resist
the Impulse that comes to me when
I 'go aivay on buying trips, to pur-
chase goods, In other cities for tny

That there Is nothing financial
In the way of a westward Exten-
sion of the Edenborn line from Mc-
Kinney to Denton was the state-
ment at Austin Thursday of Dr.
Walter Sp|awn member nt..... X*a
Texas Railroad Commission, wno
had just returned from an Inspec-
tion trip over the Louisiana Rail-
way and Navigation Co. road ex-
tending eastward from McKinney
to Shreveport Attention of mem-
bers of the Commission was re-
cently-called to the desirability* of
a McKinney-Denton-westward ex-
tension. and Dr Splawn, who halls
from the Slidell country and with
therefore has appreciation and
first-hand knowledge of how badly
the country east and west of Den-
ton needs a railroad, took up tne
idea enthusiastically. An Austin
dispatch /o the Dallas News say*,
Dr Splawn, member of the Rail-
road Commission, said Thursday
Chat there Is nothin* to preven»
William Edenborn of New Orleans
from Issuing seiuYities to cover
cost of ertendtng the Texas end
of his line from McKinney to Den-
ton and west, a® no bonds or
stocks are now outstanding on tne
property In this, State, it being
in operation from McKinney to
Waskom and thence Into Shreve-
port.
Dr Splawn has just made an In-
spe1119n ftf the JT®xae property and
says the froapective plana for
trackage rights into Dallas
Fot-t Worth have .been held up by
th(p agitation over grouping rail-
roads In the South west by the In-
terstate Commerce Commission. He
■aid the Louisiana Railway and
NavlraUon Cuiwpany to *nxiot» to
get Into both Dallas and Fort
Worth, but that the railroads are
not considering such matters,
pending a final decision as to the
groupings. They want to make no
move until they ascertain what
group they will be placed In and
what disposition xvlll be made ot
the Edenborn line In the groups.
According to Dr. Splawn. an ex-
tension of 100 miles west of Mc-
Kinney would Intersect a very rten
territory needing railroad facilities
and would give the Edenborn line
connections with the Katyv T. &
I’ , Frisco, Santa Fe and the Fort

Evangelistic Mlnirtry
"The gospel conquest nf the
world depends upon an evangelis-
tic ministry," declared Dr. L. R.
Scarborough, president of tne
Southwestern Baptist Theological
Seminary, Fort Worth, |n an an-
dress befpre the Baptist World Al-
liance upon "Training an Evan-
gelistic Ministry." "Evangelism t*
the chief mission of the Holy Spir-
it," the speaker continued, and
true evangelism fn the churches is
a preserver and conservator of all
that lies at the heart of the King-
dom of God.
"There are sonic great princi-
ple® Involved In the training of
an evangelistic ministry. One ot
them is, there is no Inconsistency
between high scholarship and the
most fervent evangelism, and the
other la that with every Christian
a soul-winner and every church an
evangelistic church the day of
world-wide redemption would fie
greatly hastened.
"Every Chr.lstlajj school shoulo
offer courses In evangelism for an
its students and every theological
semtrxhry should have a depart-
ment of evangelism on an equality
tn importance with any other de-
partment. The spirit of evangelism
should pervade all of the learn-
ings of all theological seminaries.
"Some glorious results would
follow such a condition. It would
Insure doctrinal soundness In our
schools. It would, fire ouj preach-
ers with a soul-winning seal. It
would bring in a new day In to*
