"The public press In Philadelphia has

Seminary, addressing the weekly mooting

tho facts which has made the Sunday

Tho European war. tho sneaker said.
will be art Innuendo contributing to the
success of the Sunday campaign. Tho war
Itself, he declared, proves that we only

Wero this not true, ho asserted, tho war
would never have been a reality.
Among tho other factors, which during

tho Sunday cnmnnltm a rahlltv. Dr.
flvans said, were the varied activities of
tno churches, Sunday schools and Chris
Hon people throughout tho city.

through the smoko of the forry house,
vainly trying to reach n placo of safety.
FIvo alarms wero sent In from tho

the entire three and a half acres Were
being swept by the flames. Engine Com
pany 45, the first to arrive, had con
nected Its englno with a plug at Cum
berland street and Olenwood avenue.
A strong wind from the southeast got
behind the flames and In a few minutes
tho heat was so Intense firemen could
not get the horses back to tho engine
to draw It away. Members of tho com
pany Who tried to pull the heavy ap
paratus out of danger had to give . up
tho attempt and stagger through the
smoke to safety. Fow cases of broken
hoso wero reported and they wero duo
to heavy apparatus crossing the lines.
All traffic on several trolley lines and on
tho Pennsylvania Ballroad was tied up
for an hour. Firemen fought tho flames
from tho Pennsylvania tracks. At the
end of an hour tho heat became so In
tense, that tho firemen wero driven oft
the railroad. Tho line then decided to
resumo the running of express trains.
Sheets of flames wero sweplng across
the tracks by this time. It was Impossi

smoko and was speeding toward Its des
tination. Bows of houses In 20th street and in
Olenwood avenue were Ignited In Bplte of
the efforts of 26 engine companies to pro
tect them. Householders began to move
their goods Into tho streots, but this
hampered the firemen and the police stop
ped It.
Tho large number of men overcome at
the blaze was duo to the Intense heat and
smoke, tho slightest shifting of the breeze
resulting in several firemen toppling over.
In each Instance other firemen went back
and carried their fellows to safety. Ambu
lances with physicians from a dozen hos
pitals ranged themselves at various points
around the burning lumber yard and
nearly all the Injured or overcome were
treated on the scene.
Daring rescues of horses featurod tho
blaze. John Walz, night watchman at
tho lumber yard, and Henry Heine, tho
stable boss, who live together In a house
in the yard, heard 12 horses In the stable
near their ' dwelling whinnying. They
blindfolded tho animals and got 11 of them
Into the street and away from tho flames.
Another ran to the fence surrounding the
yard.
Policemen Crowe and Greenwood risked
their lives to chop a. hole In the fence
through which the animal passed to
safety.
Elmer Fishor, of 2500 North 20th street,
rescued his 4-year-old granddaughter,
Eleanor Fisher, from the second-story
rear room of lila home. By tho time he
got to tho room the bed was In flames.
Tho child was sleeping peacefully and
she did not wake up when Fisher car
ried her Into the street.
Householders in the section whose
homos were threatened by tho (lamen
made large pots of hot coffee for the
firemen and some of the women had to
be warned against getting too close to
the fire. The water thrown on somo of
tho houses froze and the streets In the
neighborhood nearly all were flooded and
then turned Into miniature frozen lakes
by the tons of water thrown into the
blaze.
The big furniture manufacturing plant
of Hale & Kllburn was threatened for
a time. The flro ate to within 25 or 3D
yards of It, but firemen, by desperate
massing of heavy water lines almost In
a solid row between the building and the
approaching flames, managed to prevent
the Ignition of tho plant.
"FBEAKS"' OF THE FIBB.
One of the freaks of the Are was the
work of destruction In he homo of Ed

ly everything In the parlor of tha houso
was destroyed, except a Christmas tree
And several lHtle toys thrown about the

Anxiety over the fate of Dr. Arno Foe

University Museum.
Tho latter was dated Breslau, Novem

or what ho was doing. It Is evident that
tho letter had been held up by the cen

Assistant Director of Health and

"MAYOR CAN HAVE

Continued from Togo One
Ills willingness to allow Johnson, a pro
togo of tho Organization, to draw the
plans for tho $8,000,000 reconstruction of
Blockley has met serious disapproval
from administration adherents.
Thoy object to Johnson because ho has
been the perpctunl architect of the De
partment of Health and Charities under
a contract executed with tho city under
past administrations.
Officials of tho Mayor's cabinet also
believe Doctor Harte Is too friendly with
Councils, who frequently havo harassed
Assistant Director Wilson.
The Mnyor. however. Intends to stand
by Wilson, and some timo ago, It la said,
when the Assistant Director was asked by
Doctor Harte for his resignation, Wilson
saw1 tho Mayor and the Mayor told him
to stay on tho Job.
Wilson incurred Councils' displeasure
when ho officiated as Acting Director of
tho department during tho Illness of for
mer Director Neff.
The situation has now reached tho
point where the department will not hold
both men, and something Is expected to
give wny within a vory few hours.

sums, thus mortgaging In ndvance tho

"In Iew of the controversy over tho

Pledged Himself Before Election, He
Says, to Give "Square Deal."
Governor-elect Brumbaugh, In an ad

byterian Church, sajd that the rule, "Do
unto others as you would havo others do
unto you," was as good an example of

he had pledged himself before election to
give every man a "sqiiaro deal."
"Unless you aro right with your fellow

right. Christ understood that the first
step In making a good man was In Im

He made this attack In tho morning.
Standing on one foot, his flat high over

Professor Homer H. Bodehoaver, tho

Sunday Jumped to his feot, and intro
duced tho many membors of his party.
Provlous to this thoso Inspiring hymns
that have mado tho Sunday rovlvals
famous, wore sung. Tho great choir of
1800 voices and the big audlenco made tho
Tabernaclo tremble. The music could be
heard threo blocks away from it.
Beforo beginning his serman, Billy made
some announcements about tho oponlng of
the campaign, and was given a rousing
salute. Cheers and hand-clapping mado

chiefs were waved high Into the air. One
veteran had an American flag In his
hand, and waved It from tho front row.
Tho first thing Sunday said was:
"Its great to got back hero among you
good peoplo of the Keystone State. But,
I want you to understand that I come
horo without making any solicitation my
self. I came hero because you wanted
mo to come. This Is your campaign not
mine. The results depend on your work
and your faith In God. If I wnsn't euro
of your co-operation, I'd pack by trunk

"Now, remember, ono of the first things
you havo to do Is to pay off tho ex
penses for tho campaign. This Is your
debt, nnd there's no reason why you
can't get It out of tho way quickly. Why,
there's a lot of you rich people who
could pay tho wholo bill without feeling
It. Just remember there's none of this
money to go to me. Tho devil has
already had some of his followers around

REVIVALS AND CIRCUSES.
"If Rlngllng Brothers circus camo to
town It would take more money out of
Philadelphia In a single day than the
cost of this entire campaign. And not a
person would raise a complaint. Itve
never been ablo to understand why a few
weeks' religious revival meotlngs aren't
as gooa ror a town any time as a circus.
"There Is positively nothing thnt I do or
nothing about my methods that I want
to hide. Everything I do Is entirely
above board."
The big cake pans were heavily loaded
with bills and coin after the ushers had
carried them through the audience. "When
they wero emptied Into dish pans, the
Finance Committee, headed by "William R.
Nicholson, had a Job counting It Thero
was more than $6000 In the collections
of the morning and afternoon meetings,
and In the evening the gifts wore In
creased to more than 7500.
TEN IN HOSPITAL.
The hospital had plenty to do during the
services yesterday. Dr. W. H. Shane, the
superintendent, treated 10 persons who
had fainted In the audlenco. One of these,
in mo evening, was a man wno had gone
to the tabernaclo 'with a half-Jag. "When
Doctor Shane brought him to his senses
ho said: '
"Boss, I'm through with that stuff
After wha,t I've heard about It tonight,
and being knocked out and letting It make
a fool of mo before this throng, I don't
ever intend to hit It again."
