less the lower house of Tennessee re-
scinds its action of today in adopting
the ratification resolution, 49 to 47.
Speaker Walker, leader of the an-
ti-suffragists, put opponents in a po-
sition to demand reconsideration by
changing his vote from nay to aye
and moving to reconsider. The house
adjourned until 10 o’clock tomorrow
when the speaker’s motion will have
the right of way.
Suffrage and anti forces tightened
their lines this afternoon for the fi-

ling the victory. Suffragists, howev-
er, had the advantage in today’s vic-
tory and expressed confidence that
Speaker Walker’s motion would be

in ratification then would be the cer-
tifying of the action of the Tennes-

a motion to table the ratification res-
olution was lost on a tie vote of 48 to
48. This would have put over action
until 1921. Some of those keeping
tally of the votes recorded the vote
on this motion as 49 to 47 in favor,
and first reports were that suffrage
had lost. The official tally showed a
tie vote, however, and to make as-
surance doubly sure a second roll call
was ordered. The vote again, was re-,
corded as 48 to 48 and the motion to
table was declared lost.

San Francisco, Cal., Aug. 17.—75-
cent gasoline is a possibility within
two years, Professor C. F. Maberry
of Case School of Applied Science,
Cleveland, Ohio, declared yesterday
in an address here before the Engin-
eers’ Club.
His conclusions, he said, were bas-
ed on his knowledge of oil fields al-
ready exploited and prospective de-
'velopements in various countries. He
declared that intensive inventions in
all parts of the world had demon-
strated that there no longer exist ad-
equate quantities of pure gasoline
hydrocarbons and that the future
welfare of the motor industry de-
pends on invention of a motor engine
capable of economical transmission
of power directly from crude petro-

Friday, Aug. 20th—“Nothing But
Lies,” in which Taylor Holmes goes
the father of his country one better.
A delightful comedy-drama.
Saturday, Aug. 21—Charles Ray
in “Paris Green.” Just one hour in
Paris—time enough, to meet Mam’-
selle and dig out his book of French.
Another of Charles Ray’s appealing
bashful roles. He seems green, but
you’ll find if you follow him closely
he isn’t so “green” after all. You’re
sure to like it.
Monday, Aug. 23—The wonder se-
rial of the African jungle, “The Lost
City.” Also a 2-reeI Rainbow Com-
edy.
Tuesday, Aug.24—Dorothy Dalton
in “The Dark Mirror.” A romance
of two world’s and of two beautiful
women. The world of wealth and a
daughter of fashion. The under-
world and a belle of the dance hall.
See .what happens when love, wrong
and misunderstanding bring the
worlds of these two women crashing
together! Dorothy Dalton plays both
roles. An elaborate picture.
Wednesday, Aug. 25—Vitagraph’s
miliion-dollar super-serial, “The Si-
lent Avenger.” Two 2-reel Western
dramas, and “Topics of the Day.”
Thursday, Aug. 26—Dorothy Gish
in “Remodeling Her Husband.” You
know the old adage, “Marry to re-
form.” Her friends warned her he
was a devil among the ladies, but—
well a picture that will keep you
laughing—now he’s eating out of her,
hand! Bring HIM.

Paul was on
Charlie1 Gilmer, a young friend,
of Dr. Gilmer, who had come
see Paul, being in the room. _______
gun that was in the room had been [ doing anything,
picked up by the Gilmer boy, who
was handling it and had it pointed to-
ward the Schleuse boy, not knowing
that it was loaded. The Schleuse boy,
knowing that it was loaded, reached
to get the gun out of his range and
some way the gun was discharged.
The full load of No. 8 shot emptied
into the groin of Paul. He sank back
saying, “Mother, I am shot,” and ex-
pired immediately.
The Gilmer boy was a frequent
caller at the bedside of his friend
since the accident with the auto, as
he was one of the boys in the party
when that accident happened.
the prelimi- shot and killed Houston Kincaid.
The cause of the trouble between
the two men came up over a dipping
vat that had been placed on the prop-
erty of Larimore by the county auth-
orities. Kincaid claimed that the vat
was a nuisance and asked Larimore
to remove it. Larimore told him he
had no right to move the vat, as it
was placed there by the county. This
occurred Thursday. Friday after-
noon, it is alleged, Kincaid made
some threats in harsh language
against Larimore and said he would
go over and run Larimore out of his
store. The two men have been in
business at Duplex for several years,
Kincaid conducting a cold drink
stand and Larimore a general store,
and the stores face each other across
the street. Larimore, however, has
been living in Bonham for several
months, but spent a great deal of his
time at Duplex. Friends tried to dis-
suade Kincaid from going to see Lar-
imore, but it seems he-paid no atten-
tion to them.
He went to the store and had a
conversation with Larimore, who told
him that they couldn’t get along and
it was best for each to stay at his own
place of business. Apparently Kin-
caid paid no attention to this either,
and telling Larimore he would run
him out of his house, picked up an
axe and started at Larimore. The
latter ran behind the counter and
made for a revolver that had been
kept in a drawer, but for some cause
he failed to secure this. He then ran
toward the center of the store and
procured a shot-gun.
Witnesses say that Kincaid was
still pursuing him with the axe and
was just in the act of striking when
Larimore fired, thex charge striking
Kincaid on the right side of his head
and tearing part of his head away.
It is said Kincaid lived for several
minutes after the shooting.
Larimore was placed under a bond
of $2,000 to await the action of the
grand jury.
For real satisfaction, try our foun-
tain service. ~ P. J. Pierce & Sons.
