dealing with the case already have
been offered in the House both rally-
ing to Mitchell's assistance. Their
authors were Representatives La
Guardia Socialist New York and
Blanton Democrat. Texas while Rep-
reaentative Reid. Republican Illinois
tiie colonel's chief counsel delivered
■ general attack upon the court. War
■nd Navy Departments and their di-
recting agencies.
The colonel himself however is re-
Snaining silent while official and
unofficial Washington await develop-
ments and seek a key to the tangled
Btwpect that will face the officer
If his sentence is approved.
At the War Department some law
•ffieers are of the opinion that mili-
tary courts have no right to deprive
■ aoldier of pay and allowances for
fire years and still keep him under
■my jurisdiction. They pointed out
too. that forfeiture of pay and allow-
ances in this case equals a $50000
fine.
COMPLICATIONS ADDED.
Complications are added by the re-
tirement regulations of the army and
tiie prospect that the colonel will seek
tn resign. In two and one-half years
Mitchell will have completed the 30
yea re of service which entitles re-
tirement if deaired and one of the new
questions is whether the five-year
suspension would figure in retirement
computations. Some opinion holds
that the time should be credited to
Mitchell s service record and that the
ea-ntence might be computed to end
In May 192 b. when the colonel wonld
become eligible for retirement.
Should Colonel Mitchell submit his
Resignation President Coolidge would
have an added problem to solve. Ac-
ceptance wonld amount virtually to
■ pardon and if Mr. Coolidge desired
the officer to serve bis sentence or
part of it ha would have to refuse
the resignation.

"I’m sorry” he adds "I never hurt
anybody’s feelings or offended against
anybody’s pet superstitions. This is
purely a family affair. Eve was a
fair and charming Indy and deserved
a finer monument thau I have pro-
vided for her. It is almost incredible
that after over 0000 years of history
none of her kinsmen has erected a
stone to her memory.”
The author here explains that “Eve
was a distant relative of mine on
my mother's side” that she was “the
first lady of the land.” “a reigning
belle of her day.” and that the monu-
ment is an effort to atone for the
“unpardonable neglect of her bv pos-

tion chloroform bandits and boy ban-
dits Friday night successfully robbed
one victim each.

chloroformed robbed of $5O and left
in his automobile at St. Mary's and
Villita streets one block from the cen-
tral station.
Charles E. Dillon victim of the boy
band was overpowered by three youths
on the Market street bridge near the
Carnegie Library and robbed of $lO.
This occurred within three blocks from
the police station.
TAKE SM.
Both victims were robbed between 9
and 10 o'clock.
Earnest had stopped his automo-
bile at the street intersection to re-
pair a punctured tire. Bending ov_>r
the wheel he became engrossed in his
work and failed to heed the approach
of someone from behind.
A sickening odor which assailed his
nostrils was his first warning. He
made an ineffectual attempt to
arise.
Further than this the victim does
not remember until he aroused. The
bandits after taking the $5O and over-
looking $l3 in another pocket had
placed him in a sitting posture in his
automobile.
ATTACKED BY BOYS.
Detective Stendebach and Kohr were
detailed on the case as soon as Earnest
reported hie experience.
Just prior to this Dillon had re-
ported his encounter with the three
“jelly-beans.”
He had reached the middle of the
bridge on his way down Market street
when the bandits accosted him. Un-
armed. they closed in upon their prey
and bore him to the pavement.
While two of them held him the
third one searched his pockets.
All of them appeared to be in their
“teens” he told officers.

GIFT OF STREET
TOGin ASKED
CONGRESS
Bill Introduced in House
Would Deed Anny
Boulevard to S. A.
Congressman Harry M. Wursbach
has introduced a bill in the House of
Representatives for the purpose of'se-
curing Army boulevard. between
Broadway and a point in Fort Sam
Houston now the property of the gov-
ernment for the city.
Street Commissioner Paul E. Stef-
fler has received a copy of the bill
which authorizes the secretary of war
to deed the 52054 square feet of land
in the thoroughfare to tin 1 city in a
communication from Congressman
Wurzbach Saturday.
Several months ago residents learn-
ed that their homes faced government
property instead of a public street.
Fearing that the government some
time might attempt to close the street
property owners appealed to Commis-
sioner Steffler to acquire the land.
Introduction of the bill which must
be passed by both bouses to becomo
a law was in response to a request
made of the congressman by Mr.
Steffler.
In his letter to the street commis-
sioner. Mr. Wurzbach explained that
the bill may be changed by the Mili-
tary Affairs Committee so as to give
the city a perpetual right to use the
street.
“This would be practically the same
thing as having the property deeded
to the city and would eliminate a
great deal of red tape” Commissioner
Steffler said.
HAVE FAITH IN GOD
URGES EVANGELIST
Complete trust in God for all man's
needs—spiritual physical and finan-
cial—was urged by Raymond T. Rich-
ey evangelist. speaking at his old-time
revival. Beethoven Hall Friday night.
“God will send the raven” eaid
the revivalist “to the man or woman
who trusts Him.”
Evangelist Richey declared that
complete soul-rest followed complete
trust in God and quoted from Hebrew
4:3 “For we which have believed do
enter into rest.” The speaker asked
hit hearers to make their wants known
to God and having “placed them on
the altar leave them there.”
“Don t nag God.* said the revival-
ist. “Don’t be mere beggars before
Him. Have an honest prayer and
having made it turn prayer into
praise. Praise Jesus for answered
prayer even before you see any evi-
dence of its answer. This is the sort
of faith that pleases God.”
Evangelist Richey pictured the
sweetness and the joy of the prayer-
life and made an impasiaoned plea
for a return to “old-fashioned humble-
ness before our heavenly Father.”
Three altar services marked Friday
night’s meeting. About 20 men and
women bowed for forgiveness of sins
immediately following the opening
song service and without a word of
preaching. Two altar services fol-
lowed at intervals.
Several persons testified their hear-
ing was restored in the healing serv-
ice. and a man previously blind tes-
tified his vision was slowly return-
ing.
The evangelistic campaign will end
with Sunday night service. Sunday's
day service will be at 2:30 p. m.
Services Saturday night will be at
7:30 o’clock.
