Mack, deacon In Norris' church, was tho only eye witness of the shootinff. Mack's venslon of the NhpotiiiE: concurred closrly with tho written statement given officers by the pastor. According to Norris* statement, he was called on tho telephone by a per¬ son who identified himself na Chipps. In the course of thn conversation, Norris declared that Chipps said: "I am coming: up to your office nnd kill you for that sermon you preached last Hunday. I am poLng^ to kill you for what you said then and havo been saying.'* A few minutes later, a man Identi¬ fied aa Chipps walked into Norris' of¬ fice, "I was standing wilh my bacjc to¬ ward my desk," Norris said. "On"" the tai)1o lay a revolver that the janitor u.sed in his duties. When I saw that Chipps would not halt I seized tho sun and flred. I "i do not. know how many times I fired." The sermon which Norris believes brought about tho Iroublo leading to tlio shooting* was delivered last Sunday when the pastor severely arruigTied j Mayor H. C.

(TTP)—The Hrland government, pledged to ratification of tho debt funding ngreemrnt with the United States and to early rehabilita¬ tion of French finance, re.signed to¬ day after defeat In tlie CiiHrnl>pr of Deputies. President Doumergue ac¬ cepted the resignation. The vote was 288 to 243, and by this ballot the Chamber expre.-^scd ita sen¬ timents with respect to tho cabinct'a proposal that dictatorial powrrs be repoHOtl in it until November 30, 1926, for the purpose of meeting tho fln-* ancial crisis. The next Premlerahip tonight cen¬ tra nround Horriot because It was hla flght that forced the Brland cab¬ inet to resign. Defeat came when the Chamber vot¬ ed against consideration of the finance commi.ssion's financial project. The govoi-nmcnt made this a question of confidence, demanding immediate con¬ sideration of this project so that it could bo t^UKposed of and the govern¬ ment's own financial project Intro¬ duced before the Chamber. Minister of Finance Caillnux, who, under tho dictatorial powers bill would virtually have controlled the Immediate future of France. Inter¬ vened at the la-st moment with an Impassioned address in which ho warned the Chambar of the disa.^ter ahead unless strong hands Inime- dlattly were permitted to grapple with the financial problem. France, ho said, waa gradually, slipping into an ("¦onomic morass, almost without her' citizens realizing the uncomfortable depths toward which the country's course was leading. Hen-iot ISuttles Brland Extraordinary .scenes preceded tho misconfldenco vote. Former J*remier Edouard Herriot descended from hi.s place as President of the Chamber to attack the dictatorial powers bill as Hji assault on Republican institutions. Hi.s sharp words aroused Oristide Uri- and, th» veteran Premier, to anger and the two men tiattled for the confidence of the Chamber with every Deputy alert to the momentous potentialities of their oratorical play. Tho govern¬ ment, raising the spectre of dictator- bhip, charged the nuiical-soclalist Her¬ riot. "If you do not us# theae powers,** replied lirtand, "there will be a finan¬ cial disaster. Ijeon Blum, the socialist, shouted: "I would rather have a king than have these powers imposed on us." Brland demanded that the Chamber approve the declaration of confidence 'IS quickly as possible, seeking to ob¬ tain the weapon of dictorlal authority in time to make use of It when tbe bourse opens Monday. He hoped to prevent further depreciation of th<i Fr*>nfb franc which, during the past week, has progressed with alarming speed along the jiath worn by Oer- Raiding Chief of Lake and Lehman rOTj Goes Back To Scene of His Arrest; ^ Sheriff LaBar Absent This Time HacUttd up by a militant citizenry lo the wur on organized vice in !<uzenfie rounty.

New Heat Wave
Is On The Way
Wa.shington. July 17.—A ' n-^v. hr«t wave will hit tho East M(^nday and continue throu?rh \hr* ivopI^. m-^ corrlinK to tho Wtmthoi- Hurpnu.'i outlook for tlin week.

The above is a view of the tremendous cave, the worst in the history of anthracite minings whipr of Deputies. President Doumergue ac¬ cepted the resignation.
The vote was 288 to 243, and by this ballot the Chamber expre.-^scd ita sen¬ timents with respect to tho cabinct'a proposal that dictatorial powrrs be repoHOtl in it until November 30, 1926, for the purpose of meeting tho fln-* ancial crisis.
The next Premlerahip tonight cen¬ tra nround Horriot because It was hla flght that forced the Brland cab¬ inet to resign.
Defeat came when the Chamber vot¬ ed against consideration of the finance commi.ssion's financial project. The govoi-nmcnt made this a question of confidence, demanding immediate con¬ sideration of this project so that it could bo t^UKposed of and the govern¬ ment's own financial project Intro¬ duced before the Chamber.
Minister of Finance Caillnux, who, under tho dictatorial powers bill would virtually have controlled the Immediate future of France. Inter¬ vened at the la-st moment with an Impassioned address in which ho warned the Chambar of the disa.^ter ahead unless strong hands Inime- dlattly were permitted to grapple with the financial problem. France, ho said, waa gradually, slipping into an ("¦onomic morass, almost without her' citizens realizing the uncomfortable depths toward which the country's course was leading.
Hen-iot ISuttles Brland
Extraordinary .scenes preceded tho misconfldenco vote. Former J*remier Edouard Herriot descended from hi.s place as President of the Chamber to attack the dictatorial powers bill as Hji assault on Republican institutions. Hi.s sharp words aroused Oristide Uri- and, th» veteran Premier, to anger and the two men tiattled for the confidence of the Chamber with every Deputy alert to the momentous potentialities of their oratorical play. Tho govern¬ ment, raising the spectre of dictator- bhip, charged the nuiical-soclalist Her¬ riot.
"If you do not us# theae powers,** replied lirtand, "there will be a finan¬ cial disaster.
Ijeon Blum, the socialist, shouted: "I would rather have a king than have these powers imposed on us."
Brland demanded that the Chamber approve the declaration of confidence 'IS quickly as possible, seeking to ob¬ tain the weapon of dictorlal authority in time to make use of It when tbe bourse opens Monday. He hoped to prevent further depreciation of thnfb franc which, during the past week, has progressed with alarming speed along the jiath worn by Oer-
