Mrs." Pruett had never been a mem- ber of the; church in all these years, but she became converted a short time ago during her sickness and joined Ilsgah Baptist church Sun day afternoon. The ordinance of baptism was administered by Rev. J. F. Weathers. Many of her friends declared that she was too old to undergo immersion as her breath was short and hey thought the shock would- be too much for her. Her physician advised against it but Mrs. Pruett insisted and her friends asked that her wishes bo carried out even if she died under the strain, because she fell about ' four months ago and sustained a fractured hip, which rendered her helpless alii bedridden. .'. Being unable to go to a pool or pond for the ordinance of baptism, Rev, J. F. Weathers put his mind to work and ingeniously built a laVge water-tight vat which was mounted : on a truck, carried to . Peeler's Mill 'where it. was filled with water and hauled to her front door. .'Two wash-pots of water were heated to temper the water. SixV - men carried her in" a sheet from her tick bed and carefully lowered her in the water with her head ubove the surface. : 1 ho minister then took charge and after saying the ceremony, lowered her face " under, tho water. ' Then she was quickly moved back into the . hoesc with a Binile on her face and dc- ; clared she Buffered n ill effects from being moved from her sick. ' bed. . Fully 1,000 people were present to witness the unusual ceremony, Mrs. Pruett 's age of 105 years ij accurately established and .without a doubt she is the oldest woman in Cleveland county. She married at the age of IS, lived with her hus band 43 years and he has been dead 4S years. Her granddaughter was baptized on the same day atZion liurch. v- SOnON GOODS SHOW ; STRONGER THIS WEEK Deterioration of Cotton Crop . .and Risking Demand On Part Of Trade Partly Re sponsible For Better Prices.

' JAS.H.P0U OFFERS $500' TO OFFICER'S FAMILY Starts Fund For Family Of , Detective Crabtree, Killed By Young Kluftz In Raleigh Last Wednesday. ' RALEIGH, Kept. 2. James 11 Pou, attorney, went before? the city commis sioners today and suggesting that a fund of $."(,000 be raised for the family of Detective Tom Crabtree, who died in Ilex, Hospital as the result of wounds inflicted early Thursday morning by a man identified as Charles M. Kluttz, asked the commission to prcjiare the way for group insurance; for all tho city's firemen and policemen'. ilr. Pou'g action was inconditionnI. Whether the city by -popular subscrip tion will raise a fund, the $500 stands. But the attorney thought the city should make tho hazards of official life less a burden to the dependent families. Mr. Crabtree had a wife and five children, but ,his estate will be chiefly $500 which he earned as Junior Order insurance, Commissioner Moonevhan said Hint he had investigated this insurance and was impressed with it. He thinks the city should .insure its offleer. To do that, however, would mean a legislative act, but the legislature- can do it easily. Meanwhile the campaign for funds will go on, Mr. Pou's offer to give $500 had a fine effect. The city commission ers are calling on tho public for gen erous donations. Before. Mr. Crabtree 's condition be came so much worse today it was thought that assurance to hi in of these generosities and the protection to his family would have a good effect, but he had sunk into unconsciousness and visitors were excluded from his ward. Until that time he had been cheerful and wonderfully lucid. His statement to City Prosecutor Beckwith says Kluttz, after shooting" him down, left the auto mobile and pointing the pistol over the officer's prostrate body shot twice more. The bullets have been taken from the body. They are 43 steel jackets, so hard that their impact with the pave ment barely dented thein. It is entirely possible that the balls came back into his body after striking the stone pave ment. Young Kluttz denies all knowledge of it. He says he cannot run an automo bile, but Commissioner MrioueyUan says the city has prosecuted him for Bleed ing. Mr. Crabtree says he asked Kluttz how .much li'pior be had in toe car when the Iwy fired at him . $500 For Prosecution. ' Mr. Pou offered the city commission ers $50(1 for the prosecution of Kluttz. "We are now where the. community must any whether thore is civic virtue enouzh to save itwlf," he said. ."There arc 000 pimps in Wake, just like Kluttz, who are making their living selling liquor ami niinitering to prostitute.

ATLANTA, Sept. 1. (By The As sociated Press.) Maintaining his stoicism to the last and with a smile on his 'lips as the black tap was adjusted preparatory to springing the trap under him, Frank B. Bupre, 19-year-old "Peachtree bandit," paid tho penalty nt the Fulton county jail here today for the murder of Irby C. Walker, private detective, December 15, last. The trap was sprung at 2:04 o'clock and 16 min utes later the youth, was pronounced dead. The scenes attending the execution of Dupre were described by old jail officials as the most dramatic ever witnessed, by them. Outside the jail, the streets on three sides were blocked with persons eager to get a glimpse of the proceed ings. Even the tops of buildings nearby were occupied by men, women and chil dren, police reserves were called out to keep order. Inside the prison walls, Dupre probably was more composed than any of the officials, witnesses or fellow- prisoners. The youthful bandit was en gaged in religious services when the fall of the death trap for Luke McDonald, negro, convicted of the murder of a ne gro woman, could be heard throughout the juiL He paid no attention to tho sound which within the hour was to mean his own end. He continued in prayer un til 15 minutes of the hour set for his ex ecution, when unfalteringly ho started for the gallows five stones above. Looks On Crowd. Upon reaching the death chamber, Dupre stopped and looked out a window. 'That's some crowd, isn't it," bo said to his brother, Joe I)upre." He then pointed out acquaintances lie low and waved to them, shouting "good bye." A deputy sheriff called his attention to Betty Andrews, the sweetheart for whom ho robbed tho Nat Kaiser jewelry store and killed Walker. She was in a cell two floors lielow, her faced pressed closely against tho bars of the window. She became hysterical at the sight of the condemned youth, who shouted to her: 'Goody-bye, Betty, I want you to be a good girl. Won't you!" His words were drowned in the cries of the crowds below. ' "Be good, Betty; be good," Dupre repeated again and again. Then as the crowd became quiet 1 "You are going to meet me in heaven, ain't you, Betty t" the bandit shouted ut his sweetheart. "Yes," was tho reply. Dupre turned to a deputy sheriff and asked : "Well, you all alreadyt" ( The deputy, too full of emotion to reply, led the boy away to the gallows. "God bless yon all," Dupre shouted as he waved a last farewell. Remembers Mother. The condemned youth led the proces sion to the gallows, surveyed his sur roundings and then asked his spiritual advisers to sing: "A Mother's 'Prayer Has Followed Me." Dupre 's last audible words, uttered as the black cap was being adjusted over his head, were: "Please brush back my hair." . ' The suit in which Dupre was hanged was the same one worn by him on tho day of his crimes. ' The execution of Dupre brought to an end one of the most determined legal bat tles ever waged in the Georgia criminal courts. All other efforts having failed to stay execution a final appeal was made to President Harding yesterday, but he replied that lie was without authority to intervene in the ease. VANDALISM AND VIOLENCE ARE STILL RAMPANT CHICAGO, Sept. 2.

SAMEUL GOMPERS SPEAKS Head Of Labor Body Charac terizes the Injunction As Outrageous.' CHICAGO, Sept. 2. (By the Asso ciated Press.) The government acted swiftly today upon the heels of its in-, junction action yesterday, in which At torney General Haugherty obtained a " temporary injunction to prevent unlaw ful acts in connection with the railroad strike. . Notice of the temporary enjoining of dcr and the pending hearing September 11, on a permanent order, were served last night on John Scott, secretary treasurer of the railway employes' de partment of tho American Federation of Labor. B. M. Jewell, , head of the railway employes' department and acknowledged leader of the srtike, could not be found by deputy United States marshals and the belief prevailed today in the federal . building that Mr. Jewell was seeking to evade service. Five hundred notices of the temporary order and impending hearing, were printed last night. These are to bo served on more than 250 in dividuals officers and aids of leaders of the six shopmen's unions, whose 300, 000 members went on strike July 1. the railway employes' department, and 120 system federations throughout the country. , CHICAGO, "Sept. 2.' Under restric tions "placed upon them by the United States Government by means of the most drastic and far-reaching temporary in junction ever issued, in ,an industrial crisis, tho 300,000 railway shopmen, who walked out July 1 in protest against wages and working conditions prescribed by the Railroad Labor Board, today had entered a new era of the nation-wido rail strike. The restraining order obtained 'from Federal Judge James H. Wilkcrson . ; by Attorney General Daughcrty, prohibit interference In any manner with any and all phases of railroad operations. Print ed and oral propaganda were placed un der the ban aud the injunction is directed against all persons connected in an ot. fieial capacity with the railway em ployes department of the American Fed eration of Labor, the Federated shop crafts and system federations. The life of the temporary injunction extends to September 11, when Judge Wilkerson will bear a niotioa for a per manent order. Meanwhile the executive council of the American Federation pf Labor prepared to meet September 9. Samuel Gompers, president of the federation, who con demned the injunction as "Outrage ous," oai.l in Washington that communi cations from labor organizations re-quiring the Federation to sponsor a general strike in sympathy with the shopmen would be placed before the council then ''purely as a matter of routine bust-, ness." Officials of the federation explained it was not within the autority of tho council to order, or even authorize a gen eral strike. - Such action, they said. would require a "national convention." At the same time officials of the shop crafts asserted the order would have nu effect on continuance of the strike. In a statement issued by the executive coun cil of the Railway Employes' Depart ment of the American Federation of Labor, strike lenders pledged to aid by their "every power," enforcement of the injunction against "lawlessness and violence" in connection with the strike. From the White House came the de claration that the Federal government will not stop with the restraining order if it finds 'that other steps are neces sary. " , In their statement the council as sumed "that the right of railway em ployes s v acknowledged to continue a lawful strike in a lawful manner until a satisfactory settlement is made," "Until at least advised that the con stitution of the United States and the decision of the Supreme Court are no longer to be relied upon as the law of tho land," the statement continued, "the officials of the organizations of rail way employes will continue to perform their legitimate duties to their members, to aid them in the lawful pursuit of their lawful purposes, and to do all ia their power, in conjunction with officer of the government, to restrain and to punish everv unlawful act of those wh are rightfully involved or who without neht involved themselves in the opera tion of the roads. " . The statement declared it could t be assumed that the attorney general would have waited to months to rro ceed against the strikers If a peaceful conduct of the strike wiu unlaoful. or that "President Har.iin? would Lam (held conference with law breaker, " anl "proposed that the Liw breakers ulim tliev represented should retnrn to under terms which ther aftcrnri . cepted mid which the railway i rejected."
