DECATUR HERALD Legal Row Results Over Issuance of Warrants in Miss Joy Leonard Is Winner Of "Perfect Back" Contest Crash; Charge "Pressure PERFECT BACK" at headquarters. Police said Mrs. Doolen became indignant and summoned her husband, a city fireman, and the controversy was taken into the office of the chief of police for a possible settlement.

When Justice Gray refused to issue a warrant against Webb, claiming that Webb should issue a warrant against Mrs. Doolen for negligent driving, and Gibbons refused to place Webb under arrest. Doolen called Sheriff E. C. Wilson and asked that Webb be held until he could procure a justice of the peace who would issue the warrant.

"If anyone issues a warrant against you. I'd sue the justice for false arrest," Justice Gray advised young Webb. Webb remarked that he did not like legal trouble and would like to settle in the right way, but indicated that he suffered more serious damage to his car than Mrs. Doolen did to hers. Mr.

Doolen summoned Justice Rentfro to the office of Sheriff Wilson. A state highway patrolman, present at the time, reported at police headquarters that Doolen had not even permitted Webb to speak with Justice Rentfro and present his side of the case. After a conference between Rentfro and Doolen, the justice presented a warrant he had written. Young Webb asked how much the bond would be. Rentfro said it would be about $200.

The youth asked when the trial would be held. Rentfro said Thursday. "I have to get back home," Webb said. "I'll settle." Rentfro tore up the I 1 4a which is to be announced. On that occasion all the local winners will be guests of the fair.

A statue of "Miss Illinois" will be made at the fair by John Prashun, nationally famous sculptor who is in charge of the Hae-ger Pottery works display at the fair. A china cast of the statue will be made at the pottery plant and sold at the fair. 100 Present An audience of 100, composed mostly of women, watched in the Orlando ballroom Sunday afternoon while the 28 contestants from Decatur and Macon county displayed their vertebrae to the judges. In addition to the perfection of alignment of the spine, points counting in the coi.test were physical development, posture and grace, beauty and personality. The judges appeared to have difficulty in choosing between Miss Leonard and Miss Shaw for first place.

Judging was done by Dr. T. J. Boner of Pontiac, president of the Illinois Chiropractic society; Dr. Waldo Poehner of Chicago, vice-president; Dr.

J. W. Dugger of Springfield; Dr. H. E.

C. Hessler has been called for 4 p. m. Tuesday, President John Mann of the alumni association said Sunday, and will be conducted in an office at the university. Need Co-operation "I have been giving President Hessier's suggestion considerable study, but until I have consulted with the alumni association board I have not sought to make any definite plans," Atty.

Mann said. He expressed belief that the. plan invites co-operation between the alumni association and the people of Decatur, and said he hopes to see the alumni board work out a plan by which such co-operation may be effected. "I believe there is a good deal of enthusiasm on the part of the community at present, and am much encouraged by it, as this is the first time in the. universitys history that such a project has been under a-ken," Mr.

Mann said. SERVICES IN JAIL Rev. K. A. Auten of the Assembly of God spoke Sunday afternoon in the county jail service conducted by Riverside W.

CITES GOAL FOR WORLD OF LUSTGREED Flewelling Says Divine Companionship Enriches Lives of All CHOIR SINGS Rev. Carrel W. Flewelling of Central Christian church addressed the Union congregation in Fairview park pavilion Sunday evening on "When the Thirsty Drink," stressing the fact that Jesus has given men a goal to live for, and has offered a companionship with himself that has enriched many noted lives.

Rev. L. W. Madden presided, and the chorus 65 voices directed by Mrs. Louise Helmick furnished some of the outstanding music of the Union session.

The 65 voices included the junior choir, and sang "Morn of Beauty" by Silelius, with Mrs. Louis Chodat as piano accompanist. A violin quartet also accompanied, its members being Helen Dennis, Charlotte Bachman, Helen Ruth Chodat, and Mary Dennis. A double quartet sang "The Voice in the Wilderness" by John Prindle Scott. World Full of Greed Speaking from the 37th and 38th verses of the seventh chapter of the gospel of John, Rev.

Mr. Flewelling said: "Our world is thirsty because of the selfishness, greed and lust that fill it. No man is quietly satisfied while sin is in his life. Youth rushing restlessly around, trying the gambling dens, the night clubs, the taverns and every kind of place where excitement can be found, is not satisfied. "Financial leaders who have maneuvered gigantic injustices upon the public, masses of people living in perpetual dread and fear of economic disaster, grafters in politics, children laboring in factories, underpaid and for long hours, are not demonstrating life abundant, fruitful and satisfying.

They are demonstrating the truth of Paul's word. "Be not deceived. God is not mocked. For whatsoever a man soweth. that shall he also reap.

He that soweth to the flesh, shall of the flesh reap corruption. He that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life Wiil Follow Road "In His own day and under circumstances similar to our own, Jesus said to these classes of people whose lives had shriveled and dried up within them: 'Come unto me and Mrs. Anne Byrd Pavson, in her book. Follow the describes how she, a woman living in an atmosphere of art. science and social importance, chanced to read E.

Stanley Jones book 'The Christ of the Indian As she finished the book she said 'Here is a man who has found what I am looking for. I will follow the road to find it for myself. rr.u loH her to Jesus Christ and a happy and fruitful life of service. experience is typical of tnat of millions of people who have come in answer to the Master's invitation. Mr.

Kugawa. Dr. Albert Schweitzer. Dr. Wilfred Grenfell.

and others by the score have found the answer to the deepest needs of their own lives in th- ministry of the Christ. Removed Burden of Sin "I-Te ha takn the burden of sin out of their lives. He has given them a goal ao live for and He has offered them a companionship with Himself that has enriched every moment and relationship of life. These are revealing that those who hear Jesus' invitation and come and drink, that 'Out of them shall flow rivers of living They are the ones who are making over the old practises of wrong and selfishness into the new ways where God will is done and His kingdom or jove established upon the earth.

FRISCO FACES WALKOUT OF ALLUNIONS Street Car Service Near Standstill; Food Shortage Near CAFES CLOSED (Continued from Page 1.) Street Cable Car company men had joined the strike. Only municipal street railway cars were running. They were operated under difficulties." Pickets were stationed at car barr.s and municipal cars were taken out through a barrage of jeers and curses.

They operated through ths It seemed almost certain, however, that by today operation of the municipal line would be seriously crippled If not stopped altogether. Others To Quit Other utilities gas, light, water, power and telephones were operated as usual and no interruption was anticipated. The next important move in the strike was expected at midnight when cooks, waiters aid others of the culinary trades. 6.000 in number, will quit. Early in the day rr.ariv restaurants were closing, famous ones as Bernstein's and Herbert's on Powell street.

Others posted notices saying they would close later in the day "due to strike condition." By today it will be almost impos-tible to buy a meal in San Francisco. Strike leaders were meeting most of the day. The committee direct-ins the strike devoted most of its efforts to devising ways of insuring that strikers would not be wounded by their own weapon that they would not find their own supplies of necessities cut off. Delivery and food union representatives conferred with the committee, working out plans by which they hoped to make certain that food, fuel, gasoline and clothing would be delivered to strikers' homes. Roads Picketed FEysiciar.s were issuea permits ailcvdr.r them to buy gasoline at a sinzle service station which wa-s prmit'ed to receive supplies of atotor The permits, issued by a central petroleum supply bureau, were countersigned by the medical society and carried a record of the speedometer readings so far as to insure against doctors buying gas for others.

Other motorists had to go outside the city to buy their gasoline. Pickets blocked the highway at the county line to trucks and heavy hauling. But no cases of serious molestation of motorists were reported. Gasoline stations beyond the picket line were doing a tremendous business. Likewise truck gardeners hauled quantities of produce to points on the roadside beyond the picket lines a-d were selling fruits and in quantities.

At the labor temple meetings were held during the day by the typographical. molders, stereo-typers. elect rotypers. jewelry workers, newspaper mailers, warehousemen, and vulcanizers to 'Ote on the strike issue. No announcement of results was made but so virulent was the strike fever in the city that it was believed the majority of the unions would vote to join the strike.

City Stays Calm There was considerable confusion at strike headquarters. No authentic list of unions on strike was available. It de-(Toped that overnight unknown persons had ma'ie away with the secretary's' records and the only list of unions' and how they stood. Union officers tried to mske a new list from memory hut they could not be sure. However, they did not seem greatly worried for already the ef-j fectiveness of their movement was' apparent.

The city in general took the sit-; nation calmly enough. For three days there had been preparation. Housewives had bought out sup-: P'-es of many staple groceries and while stores were short, larders 're full. There was a definite exodus to the country, however. Families KT.ed to tesorts and vacation; Only those whose presence as required remained.

At hotels Saturday night and early Sunday; there was a heavy "checking out" It was followed by a con- siterable "cheeking in" as persons' out of walking distance of places of employment sought town accommodations. There was little violence and that was isolated and -rcall shop keepers were threaten-1 and intimidated in numerous in-1 Kances. One street car was report- to have been stoned. An auto-! sibi! was turned over. Some win-; were broken.

But police pro-; Mur.ced the day a quiet one. Perhaps the policing of the city mueh to do with the quiet 'hat prevailed. Not since the -h'iuake and fire of 1906 has Francisco been so guarded. the business and the residen-al sections were under constant Patrol. being Sunday, full force of the -uation was not felt.

But there prospects that today would be strange day in San Francisco's jr Approximately 60 of the 177 un-; 'n the city will be on strike by today. Probably 30.000 of the WO union mrn w'l! then be i'td. Butchers, bakers, cooks, carmen, stevedores, sailors, ners. teamsters, deliverymen. workers, even sausage l'-n, will be out.

PARKS FILLED AS MERCURY RISESjVGAIN Four Accidents Reported During Day; Scores Attend Reunions 98 IS RECORDED After three days of intermittent showers and cool breezes, Decatur's heat wave returned Sunday to fill parks, beaches and high- ways with picnickers and motorists in search of relief. The gradually ascending mercury touched the 98 degree mark during the late 3fternoon. Four accidents were reported during the day as hundreds of motorists crowded the highways in search of cooler breezes. Although none of the accidents resulted in serious injury, ambulances were summoned on two occasions. One of the largest crowds of the picnic season was present in the parks, especially at Nelson park where requests for boats, canoes and passage on pleasure crafts were more numerous than any previous day of the season.

A large number of bathers passed through the Nelson park bathhouse during the day. 3Iany Reunions About 30 families and other groups held picnics and basket luncheons at Fairview park. Throughout the day the baseball diamonds, horseshoe and croquet courts were filled with pleasure seekers. Among the largest of the gatherings at Fairview park were reunions of the Hiser family which served to about 100 persons. Residents of Edwards county also held their annual picnic in the park as did members of the Hartwig family.

At Nelson park the Scott County association held its annual gathering for residents of the county. A picnic meal was served at 12:30 p. m. followed by an afternoon of en-tertainent. Fred Rogers was elected president of the Rogers-Dempsey family I group at its third annual reunion Sunday.

Claude Rogers was elected vice-president and Edna Rogers was elected secretary and treasurer. and a boat ride fclloved the basket luncheon. Car Goes Over Embankment Sam Robinson. Negro, narrowly escaped serious injury when his automobile plunged off the soft fill at Lake Shore drive and route 2 about 415 p. m.

The car toppled down the hill, overturning several times before Mr. Robinson emerged unhurt. The accident occurred when H. B. Julian of Chicago, driving an automobile owned by the Edgeworth Tobacco company, collided with Robinson's car as the latter attempted a left hand turn into Lake Shore drive.

Mr. Julian said he was following Robinson's car. Robinson turned to the right, driving his car off the highway before making a wide swing into the drive, Julian said. He was unable to avoid a collision without going over an embankment. Robinson was unable to regain control of his car at the time of the crash and it rolled over the embankment.

The car was not badly damaged. Shortly after 5 p. m. cars driven by Mrs. J.

J. Doolen and George Webb collided four miles west of Decatur. No serious damage resulted from the collision although police were called into the case. Five persons were taken to St. Mary's hospital in a Moran Sons ambulance shortly after 6 p.

m. when a car driven by Karl Miller, 1243 North Hill strpet. collided with a truck driven by B. Bridge-water, 940 South Illinois street, at the intersection of Wood street and route 121. Those taken to the hospital for treatment were Karl Miller, Mike Heibowitz and Hilda Luka.

Mr. Luka and Mrs. Miller also were in the Miller car. but were unhurt." Bridgewater. driving a truck, was alone.

None of the party was seriously injured and all were released after receiving treatment at the hospital. Charles Kapolis and John Lewis of Springfield narrowly escaped serious injury Saturday night when their car overturned on an em bankment at Steven's creek west of Decatur. The two men received treatment for minor injuries at St Mary's hospital and were held in the city jail until payment of fines Sunday morning. A motorboat belonging to Fred Kaiser was damaged early Sunday evening when the wiring caught fire, apparently from a backfire action of the motor. The boat was scorched, but most of the damage was confined to th wiring.

Mr. Kaiser was working with John Ross to repair the boat for use. Kidnaped Missionary Released by Chinese HANKOW, China AP Rev. Howard Smith, missionary, whose home is in Washington.

A letter addressed to the postmaster and requesting help in locating his friend was received Saturday. Use of a warrant which city police authorities termed as "pres sure" in settling an automobile damage case was resorted to Sunday night by Justice R. C. Rentfro who issued the warrant against George Webb of Ebenezer, N.

and then destroyed it when Webb promised to pay J. J. Doolen, 1230 South Jasper street, damages for a dented fender. Issuance of the warrant by Justice Rentfro followed a verbal battle of almost an hour in the office of Assistant Chief of Police L. L.

Gibbons. Justice of the Peace E. E. Gray, on duty Sunday, refused to issue the warrant against Webb claiming he could be sued on his bond for false arrest. Charges against Webb were not sufficient ly strong to justify a warrant, police said.

Gibbons refused to hold Webb who was accompanied by his wife. The accident which resulted in the legal tangle occurred shortly after 5 p. m. about four miles west of Decatur. Police learned that Mrs.

Doolen, driving west, slowed down her car to about 15 miles an hour. Mrs. Doolen admitted, Justice Gray said, that she failed to hold out her hand. As her car lost speed rapidly, Webb came up from behind and to avoid hitting Mrs. Doolen's car, pulled to the right, off the highway.

Sub-contracts are to be let for steel work, brick con struction, roofing, plastering, electric wiring, and heating and plumbing. Stouffer Brothers, who hold the general contract, have begun pouring concrete footings which are to l.jld the steel trusses. A larger amount of structural steel than was used in the old building will be used in the new one, as the steel framework for the roof is to have its own supporting structure instead of resting on the walls, as formerly was the case.

The new plan has been adopted to permit the auditorium's seating arrangement to have an east-west axis, instead of the oblique arrangement formerly used. The sub-contract for the steel work is to be the first let, as other construction can not go forward until the steel is in place. MORE THAN 200 ATTEND PICNIC AT K. OF P.

FINISH NEW SUBWAY SOON 3 Weeks' Work Remains on Fairview Job; Delay Route Opening Two or tir.ice weeks' more work probably will complete the Fair-view avenue subway for route 48. but the Oakland avenue underpass, which will finish the new route through the western part of Decatur, may not be open to traffic until fall. The Christy-Birt company has finished its construction of the bridges for the Illinois Terminal and Wabash railroads at the Fair-view avenue underpass, and preparations now are being made to begin paving.

To Complete Wall Before the slab can be laid, Birt Erothcrs, who hold the paving contract, are completing a crib-wall under the double subway and are laying a drain to carry off the surface water from the A small culvert also is being constructed on the north side of the underpass. A nearby storm sewer is at a level five feet below that of the underpass. The drain will be connected with this, making construction of a sump unnecessary to carry off storm water. Although the slab which is to connect the present dead end south of Green street with the paving at Fairview place is hardly more than a block in length, its laying will be a ten days' job. It will be necessary to place the paving machinery on the present paving and lay a short strip ot slab ahead of it.

When this has set, the machine will be moved out on the new sla6, and another section laid. Excavation Work About Done Even with this slow process, however, it is expected the southern underpass will be open to traffic some weeks before the one on Oakland avenue in the northwest quar ter of town can be thrown open, completing the by-pass routing for route 48. File Collins company has about another half day's wont to do in completing the excavation for the Oakland avenue grade separation. Cope Fisher, who hold the contract for construction of the bridge on which the Illinois Central railway will cross the underpass, will begin their work as soon as the excavation is finished. The bridge is to be constructed in the same method as that used for the Fairview avenue bridges, where pre-cast concrete piling was driven into place, cut off at a desired length, covered with steel girders and concrete flooring.
