tslderabty on the final day, many of ihe
delegates having been called home to at
"tend their Thanksgiving-, baking and to
Lmeet their children returning for the holl.
day from boarding schools, the morning
; session opened with a spirited discussion
'of the relative merits of tho Bhafroth
Palmer amendment and the Brlsfbw-Mon-
dell bill, otherwise known as tho Susan
B Anthony amendment
Although the latter bill, which provides
for woman suffrage throughput the coun
try, Is dear to the heart of every advo
cate of the causo and has been called the
"ladder by which suffragist may reach
the stars," Miss Jtary Wlnsor, chairman
of the Committee on Congressional Work,
pointed out that because It Is opposed
diametrically to States' rights, the task
of winning the Democratic party over to
Its support would bo a difficult one. For
this reason, she said, no efforts should be
pared to shove tho more practical Bhaf
roth bill through.
Interesting' accounts of the national
convention at Nashville were given by
Miss Mary B. Bnkewcll, of Pittsburgh,
and AIlsp Llda Stokes Adams, after which
reports from the local headquarters were

WHIRLWIND SUMY
METHODS APPLIED
ON BIG TABERNACLE
Structure Begun Less Than
Two Weeks Ago Will Be
Ready for Occupancy
Within One Month.
The whirlwind methods that always
make the "Blllj" Sunday evangelistic
campaigns spectacular nro being demon
strated In the work of erecting the mam
moth tabernacle facing Logan Square, nt
I9th nnd Vine streets. Although less than
two weeks have passed since the first
spadeful of earth was turned, carpenters
and other artisans have been on the Job
from early In tho morning until late at
night, and the heavy timbers nnd strong
planks are beginning to shape themselvei
Into a building, giving some idea of the
size and architecture of the big gospel
citadel. In less than a month this will be
completed and ready for the beginning of
the great revlvnl to open on January 3.
Tho tabernacle, Including the choir toft
with seating room for tho choir, Phila
delphia pastors and executive committee,
and the 11-foot vestibules, which will
touch on three sides, will have a capacity
of between 19,000 nnd 20,000 persons.
Great care Is being exercised by the
architect and building, Joseph Splcce, to
have the tabernacle constructed accord
ing to the requirements of the Bureau of
Building Inspection. Mr. Splece nlso Is
using his Ingenuity to have the structure
so built trial Mr. Sunday's voice may be
saved as much as possible. So mtnuto
has every detail of the sounding been
arranged that the evangelist's voice will
be clearly audible In tho most remote cor
ner of the tabernacle.
Joseph M. Steole, chairman, and other
members of the building commltteo have
expressed belief that the structure will
be ready long before the arrival of the
Sunday party.
An Interesting thing In the plan of the
structure Is the manner In which the
planks are placed. Mr. Splece has been
experimenting for a year to save every
sound of the evangelist's voice. He has
found that by planing the planks and
placing them so that the grain of the
wood faces In one direction, they act as
a sounding board.
The rear of the structure will touch 19th
street, "and through entrances there the
choir, Philadelphia pastors, executive
committee, Mr. Sunday and. his workers
will enter the building. The evangelist
will face 20th street, when he speaks. The
audleme may enter by doors id the front
and on the Vina and Wood streets sides.
All these doors will be protected by wide
vestibules Intended to shelter the over
flow crowds nnd those who enter and
leave the citadel.
On either side of the choir loft, plat
form and pastors' section, will be offices
for the postofflce, finance committee,
telegraph Instruments, ost and found
headquarters and other purposes.
WILL WED TOMORROW NIGHT
Miss Surrlck "Will Comply With
Dying Wish of Mother.
Carring out the dying wish of her
mother, Mrs. Ella Surrlck, who was

Germans Provide drain nnd Help
Plant It, Says Press Bureau.
NEW YOrtK, Nov. U -The German In
formation Service gave out last night a
statement by a German special corre
spondent as to the state of Belgium under
the rule of Field Marshal von der Goltz.
It Is presented Just as written!
'The Field Marshal," writes the cor
respondent (according to the translation
furnished), "has asked tho Inhabitants
of the country to till their fields and pur
sue their work. Wherever there Is no
corn (grain) to be had It Is prolded. If
possible, by the Government. Farming
implements were lert o the people, and
when troops could bo spared Ihev were
sent Into the fields to assist In the gather
ing of the harvest.
"In the meanwhile, 400 house owners
have already been found In Brussels
who perform se'ven hours' duty dally
ns police officials. They see to It with
unremitting strictness that no gather
ings and no excesses give occasion to
punishment They wear a red and bluo
band bn their arms, and untiringly calm
the promenading Inhabitants who aro
waiting for the English, and disperse
them. Those aro people who are looking
out for their own welfare, who are con
scious of their great responsibility and
who would do everything hand In hand
with the German Government to sup
press any revolt. Hut nlso the cannon
which stand In readiness on tho top of the
Palace of Justice speak a warning
language. They warn the citizens to
quiet nnd reason. Tho neighboring Lou
vnin stretches the bare walls of burned
houses into the autumn air as a warn
ing sign.
"And I believe that the Inhabitants of
Brussels love their beautiful city too
much to deliver It to the doom of such
punishment. The Innermost wish of tho
Germans Is that Brussels may remain
as It is. The hatred glittering in the ees
of tho Inhabitants does not disturb us.
It Is war; we well understand the pow
erless rage with which the Inhabitants
yield to the German regime. We also
understand the women who are waiting
with flowers on tho wayside for their
King, from whose palace the flag of tho
Bed Cross Is now waving. But unintelli
gible would be the crime of sacrificing
oven a single house of this beAUtlful
city to tho hatred which prevaUs.'

RUMORED PURPOSE
OF PRESIDENT TO SIT
IN SENATE OPPOSED
Astonishment and Disap
proval of Alleged Plan
Expressed by Members of
Congress in This City
Astonishment and disapproval wero
expressed by Congressmen from Phila
delphia districts today following the re
port from Washington that President
Wilson might exercise hfs constltutlbnat
prerogative and sit with the Senate while
important executive business was being
considered, and that he would ask -th5
House to amend Its rules as to permit
members of the Cabinet to take part tn
Its deliberations.
The opinion of representatives Inter
viewed wrs that such actions mingling,
ns It would, the executive and legislative,
brunch of national government, TyouTd
result In friction and Impose a restraint
upon the free administration of the busi
ness of the Senate and House. It was
Intimated that a storm of objection
would follow any attempt by the Chief,
Executive to carry his plan Into effect
"I can conceive of no reason for th
proposed plan of the President," said
Congressman-elect George B. Darrow.
"nnd I can think of no benoflt which
might be derved from euch a course, ex
cept from a Democratic party standpoint.
"If the President does take this actlqn
It will raise a rumpus, you may be sure.
The peoplo are schooled to the entfrs
scparateness of the executive, legislative
and Judicial brai ches of government, and
any scheme to depart from this funda
mental principle of republican govern
ment will not be tolerated. Autocracy'
In any form will fall of favor In the
United States, and I am astounded to
think that there is a possibility of the
President taking the course "indicated In
the Washington news."
"Such a radical departure will result-.
in no goon,- aeciarea uongressman
George W. Edmonds. "I can hardly con
template the; situation In the capital un
der such conditions. I havo not had tlm) '
to consider the news in Its full Import, '
but as It appears to me now, the action
the President Is reported to be conV
tomplatlng would croate contusion, dis
cord and bo contrary to the principles
of good government."
,T. Washington I.ogue, who was de1
fealed for re-election to Congress on the
Democratic ticket, was as surprised : as ;
nis lormcr uopuouenn conierees wncn
told of the Washington report.
"It Is certainly a radical departure,"
he said, "but I am unprepared to state'
my views on the question,"
Congressman Michael Donohofe, who '
was defeated for re-election by Peter E,
Costello, said:
"This suggested action of the Presi
dent would certainly be lll-advlsed 1f
taken. The greater the freedom of tho 'I
legislative branch of government the bet- '
ter the government. Pressure from -the
executive branch would make for dls-
cord and loss of efficiency, and nctlve Unl
terference by Cabinet members Into thcr
affairs of Congress would be disastrous
In Us results."
