While the house Is In recess, the
s*nat* will remain in session chiefly
Working on the peace treaty while

oo a number of reconstruction meas-
ures. The recess, however, will de-

Peace Experts To Be Heard.
Developments thought probable this
week in the treaty fight include state-
ments by President Wilson outlining
his stand on the proposal for ratifi-
cation reservations and giving new
information as to the Shantung pro-
vision. Both of the expected state-
ments would have a direct bearing on
debate. The Shantung provision is
tBe subject of diplomatic discussions
now in progress with Tokio designed
to obtain publication of the secret
understanding for restoration of the
jirovince or some other public declar-
ation of Japan'R Intentions.
Dry Bill To Come Up.
Among the measures expected to be
wasted this week by the house are
taxes on aoft drinks, authorizing In-
crease In the number of army officers
as requested by the war department,
and proposing investigation of Mex-
ican affairs by a house committee.
;Leaders also hope to have the house
|pass bills giving permanent rank to
iGtenerals Pershing and March and
Admirals Sims and Benson and also
act on the resolution providing for
distribution of surplus army food sup-
,piles.
{ Time Te Invade Mexiee.
Immediate military Intervention in
Mexico was urged upon congress by
.Representative C. D. Hudspeth, demo-
crat, of Texas, in a speech in the
house.
The United States should withdraw
Us recognition of Carranza, Mr. Hud-
speth declared, send troops into Mex-
ico and keep them there until a stable
government Is established.
"The time has arrived," he said,
"when we should say to Carranza,
'you have not measured up to our ex-
pectations; you have not lived up to
your obligations to protect American
litres and property, so we will with-
draw our recognition of your govern-
ment and put troops into Mexico, to
protect American lives until a stable
government Is organized.'"
Refertng to the pending resolutions
providing for an Investigation of the
Mexican situation, Mr. Hudspeth ask-
ed:
"Why should you stop to Investi-
gate? Yon republicans who are in the
majority In congress have been read-
ing the press accounts of what has
been happening in Mexico. You know
the situation.
Emerson Bill Solution.
"If you want to protect American
lives In Mexico, pass the Emerson
resolution. But I am afraid you are
trytaf ,0 mR,ie political capital for
tho coming campaign, instead of real-
Jy attempting to find a way to protect
American lives and American prop-
erty In Mexico.
"Under the Emerson resolution, the
secretary of war would be authorized
and directed to send troops into Mex-
ico to protect the lives and property
of American citisens, and to keep
them there until a stable government
|s established which can and will af-
ford protection to Americans.
DEGENERATE KILLS 6-YR.-0LD
POLICE FORCE CONFESSION
BY THIRD DEGREE
Watohman Had Hidden Body Undsr a
Pils of Coal After Murder-
ing Child.
Chicago—Thomas Fitzgerald, 81
years old, married, confessed to the
police that he killed little Janet Wil-
kinson, « years old, a neighbor's child,
by strangling her. Then he accom-
panied the police to his home and
showed them where he had concealed
the body beneath ooal under the base-
ment steps and it was recovered.
The solution of the mystery which
has stirred Chicago as few police
cases have aroused the populace,
came' when Fitzgerald after five sleep-
Ass days and nights, constantly kept
under a gruelling examination and
never-ceasing scrutiny, called for an
officer and made his confession. He
alternately moaned and sobbed as he
talked, pouring out words of self-loath-
ing as he gave the details of his crime.
The crowd that surrounded the
Fitzgerald home when the body was
removed, groaned and then cries of
indignation against the confessed
murderer were heard. A strong
guard of policemen was thrown
around him and he was hurried away
to a cell.
Fitzgerald was night watchman at
the Virginia, a highly reputable resi-
dential hotel. He lived in the neigh-
borhood. In the same building lived
the Wilkinson family. Janet was one
of four children, their father a grocer.
She was a pretty ^chllcl and was be-
loved of the neighbors.
Last December, Fitzgerald flrst(
showed a sinister attraction for the
child, the father testified at the in-
quest. She came home after being at
his home and told a story of mistreeat
ment.
The parents preferred to hush up
the affair and Fitzgerald escaped
prosecution. • But when little Janet
disappeared suspicion was arounsed
against Fitzgerald and he was ar-
rested. He was questioned about the'
child but denied everything. But the
police held the man a prisoner, and
subjected him to as severe an exam-
ination as few prisoners ever receive.

ter a night and day of excitement
brought about by the attack on a
white woman, and the lynching on the

Jennings was captured by a sher-
iff's posse three miles from Gilmer, af-
ter an all-night search, and was placed
In Jail. A mob soon gathered and
with the aid of sledge hammers, broke
the steel doors of the jail.
Just as the negro was brought out
and a rope placed about his neck, a
man on horseback approached and
was handed the other end of the rope.
He galloped away, dragging the negro
several blocks to the courthouse
square. He was then hanged. In a

627,572 Cattle Dipped
Cattle dippings last month totalled
627,572 In the state, according to fig-
ures complied by L. J. Allen, director
of the drive against cattle ticks. Pitts-
burg county established a new record
for the state by dipping 146,537 head
of cattle.
In a district composed of twenty-
three counties which was released
from quarantine last year only two
herds of cattle were found to be In-
fested with the ticks during June. Al-
len said this is a remarkable record
and proves that tick eradication is
succeeding.
Opposition to dipping in the south-
eastern counties of the state is still
prevalent, he said. It is the first year
that cattle have been dipped there and
after a campaign of education the
farmers are expected to realize tho
value of tick eradication, Allen said.
The dipping record for counties In
June follows: Coal, 96,464; LeFlore,
88,377; Carter, 70,927; Cherokee, 10,-
144; Haskell, 17,162; Johnson, 4,112;
Latimer, 35,823; Love, 6,951; Musko-
gee, 8,622; Sequoyah, 19,271; Adair, 4,-
259; Garvin, 142; Hughes, 27,832; Mc-
Clain, 80; McIntosh, 8,014; Marshall,
2,312; Murray, 5,920; Okmulgee, 1,032;

LESSON FOR AUGUST 3
After making a thorough investiga-
tion of the buildings and surroundings
of the Negro Agricultural and Normal
University at Langston, Governor Rob-
ertson declared that he will recom-
mend to the next legislature that the
institution be relocated at some more
desirable and suitable place, If some
method cannot be found whereby the
location can be changed without leg-
islative enactuicnt.
While paying tribute to the manage-
ment of the Institution under the di-
rection of President Marques, the gov-
ernor severely criticised the buildings
and surroundings, which he termed as
wholly unfit for use
The ground surrounding the institu-
tion, the governor declared, is poor
and entirely unsuited for agricultural
development. Every building, he said,
is in bad condition and the dormitories
are in bad condition and poorly fur-
nished.
The last legislature appropriated
but the gove: nor said yesterday that
$85,000 for new buildings at Langston
he probably will oppose the spending
of this money until the institution has
been relocated.

ADDITIONAL MATERIAL—Mat. 4:1*;
Psalms 14 and 122.
PRIMARY TOPIC—Chlldrea praising
God (Mat. 21:16, It).
JUNIOR TOPIC—Worship la G«<'S
house (Luke 2:41-S0).
INTERMEDIATE TOPIC-Wliy wor-
ship and how.
SENIOR AND ADULT TOPIC-The na-
ture and value of true worship.
I. What Is Worship? (Rev. 7:12).
It is the attitude of the soul toward
God, which recognizes him as the Su-
preme Being of the universe and be-
nevolently Inclined toward his crea-
tures. It Is the outgoing of the af-
fections toward him and tho ascrip-
tion of praise and adoration to him
as the one from whom all blessings
come, the one to whom all glory and
honor should be given, the one who Is
all-wise and powerful.
II. Whom to Worship (Rev. 7:10-12).
1. God (vv. 11, 12, cf. Matt. 4:10).
Since In him we live, move and have
our being (Acts 17:28), and from him
every good and perfect gift cometh
(James 1:17), we should worship and
adore him.
2. Jesus Christ the Lamb (t. 10).
We should worship him because he la
God and because he, In the Incarna-
tion, linked himself with humanity and
on the cross made an atonement for us
and Is now our high priest, through
whom we have access to God (Heb.
10:21).
III. Qualifications for Acceptable
Worship (John 4:1-10, 19-24).
This Is a fine example of personal
evangelism. Christ "must needs go
through Samaria" to find this poor,
sinful woman. He skilfully disclosed
his Identity to her. He knew the deep
need of her soul, even the Inward un-
rest which was hers while practicing
sin. He made the point of contact by
that which was uppermost in her mind,
namely, water, and passed from the
water of earthly to the water of ev-
erlasting life which was In himself (r.
10). In order to worship God accept*
bly there must be—
1. Knowledge of Christ (v. 10). Must
know him as a prophet from God (r.
19)—the one sent of God (Acts 7:87,
cf. Deut. 18:15) to make known to lost
men the way to God. Must know him
as the Messiah—the one anointed ol
God to save lost men (John 4:42).
2. A new nature (w. 23, 24). Only
the regenerated can worship God In
spirit. Jesus declared "that which Is
born of the flesh la flesh, and that
which is born of the spirit Is spirit'
(John 3:6). "Except a man be born
from above, he cannot see the king-
dom of God" (John 3:3). The natural
man has not the capacity to "see"
God, therefore he cannot worship him.
God Is spirit, therefore only the one
whose spirit has been quickened caa
enter Into fellowship with him In wor-
ship.
3. A sanctified life (Heb. 10:22).
The life is sanctified by the Spirit
I Peter 1:2); through obedience to
the Word of God (John 17:17).
4. Faith In God (Heb. 11:6, cf. 10:
22). Pretended worship without vital-
ized faith is an abomination to God.
5. Men of every nation and kindred
(Rev. 7:9). God Is the God of all na-
tions.
IV. Where to Worship.
1. In secret (Matt. 6:5, 6). The soul
shut up with God, with the world and
its cares shut out, really worships. Ev-
ery Christian ought to have a secret
chamber.
2. In the assembly (Heb. 10:24, 25).
While the private prayer Is of first im-
portance, there Is value In Joint wor-
ship with fellow Christians which
should not be overlooked. The actions
of others are helpful In conducing a
frame of mind for worship.
3. Everywhere (John 4:20-24). God
is the Omnipresent Spirit, therefore
wherever there Is a person whose na-
ture Is spiritual he can worship. Chris-
tianity is unlike every other religion
