'Making'Money by Bucket
ful, But Going to Hell in
Carload Lots," Shouts
Evangelist.
"We're making money by the bucketful
in this country, but we're going to hell In
carload lots, freight prepaid," was the
way "Billy" Sunday shocked the many
thousands who filled the tabernacle, this
afternoon. He was preaching on "The
Ton Commandments," and one by one he
took them up and tore them Into shreds
before the people to prove that obedience
to them was essential to happiness and
eternal glory. He then launched an at
tack on church members who profess a
belief In the commandments, but do not
carry out their purpose.
"It's a good thing to have money and
the things it can buy; but It's a good
thing to sit down once In a while and
think of the things we might lose which
money can't' buy;" the evangelist de
clared. WILL REPEAT SERMON.
It was one of the most spirited ser
mons "Billy" has preached during the
earn pal gn, and he Intends to repeat It
tonight. Time andi again, he slammed the
heavy chair down beside him on the pul
pit, hammered the pulpit until the sound
of his blows ;ould be heard far back
in tho great auditorium. The vast sea
of humanity rolled back, and forth, now
in tears and now in laughter, suddenly
breaking out In tumultuous applause.
Hardly once since he came to Philadel
phia has Sunday talked more plainly. He
used harsh words. He told plain truths.
He did not use any varnish to coyer up
the language, so that every man and
woman might understand,
OTVES POINTED ILLUSTRATIONS.
And many times during his address he
introduced thrilling stories of great men's
trials and little stories showing the
power of the clean heart. The audience
held Its breath. It gasped. It leaned
forward in quivering expectation. Never
before had Mr. Sunday's hlstrlonla abili
ties been brought so aptly into play,
"What is man's godT" "Billy" cried.
"Anything that he thinks more of than
he does of Ood, Many a man will sell
his conscience and sacrifice his honor
to put a few dirty dollars more in the
bank than he possibly could if he had
obeyed the laws of the Almighty."
Once more the evangelist took some
good whacks at the "booze" crowd and
the saloon. Every time he comes to that
subject Sunday becomes "red-hot" and
launches his attacks with renewed vigor.
All the strength of his athletlo body was
brought Into play today when be plunged
into the subject. Once more he made his
threat to "fight that damnable business
from breakfast to hell and back again."
Again he went after the gosslpers. He

DELAWARE DEEP ENOUGH
FOR COLLIER, SAYS COMPANY
Government Not Justified In Cancel
ing Existing Contracts.
The cancelation of the contracts held
bv ,1 H Weaver & Co . of this city, to
supply the Government with 100,000 tons
of coal, because of the alleged danger of
the Government colliers going aground in
the Delaware River, would be a discrimi
nation against the coal miners of Penn
sylvania, according to an ofllclal of the
company today.
'The contracts wllh tho Government
wore taken In good faith," said the offi
cial, "and tho canceling of the contracts
would necessitate shutting down the
mines and throwing the miners out of
ork. There was nothing In the specifi
cations to tho effect that the coal would
have td.be shipped In vessels of any
stnted capacity, and even In case the
Government colliers could not descend
the Delaware safely, it Is the duty of the
Government to supply vessels that can.
"We have been assured by men familiar
with conditions in the river that the col
liers can load at Port Richmond and sail
down the river without damter of going
aground. Even though there may be a
possibility that some of the largest colliers
might not be able to take a maximum
load at Port Richmond, they can be
loaded with naval supplies at League
Island and their voyage still be made
with a full cargo.
"We bellee that the Government wilt
find a means of transporting the coal from
this port, and are convinced that the Gov
ernment colliers will not go aground in
that Delaware River,"
Maritime Interests are preparing tq
take concerted action to convince the
Navy Department that the Delaware
Rlyer Is deep enough to permit the larg
est of the Government colliers to come
and go with absolute safety
Director George W. Norris, of the De
partment of Wharves, Docks and Ferries,
Issued a statement today to which he
said that he would appreciate any work
that could be done by the army engi

STOP TO U. OF P.
TRANSIT PLEA
JrovostWashfis. Hands of
Blame for
'Influential
Alumni's" Interference.
Logan Citizens Duped.
Two transparent efforts to thwart the
aim and effect of Philadelphia's rapid
transit demonstration at the Academy of
Music came to light today. One, the
more Important, was made by alumni or
students of the University of PennsI
nnla, the other by some political foe
of the rapid transit plan with Influence
in Logan,
Eacli of the two moves was a knife
thrust In the dark by some powerful
political Influence afraid to stand before
united Philadelphia and light transit de
velopment in the open. This Influence
pulled tho hidden wires and moved the
secret levers that caused two separate
and distinct blows to be struck at the
mass-meeting.
This curious power made Itself felt at
the University of Pennsylvania at the
11th hour Plans for a great parade of
Btudents to the academy for the purpose
of participating In the demonstration
went forward smoothly until the ver
morning of the night scheduled for the
meeting.
"INFLUENTIAL ALUMNI" AT WORK.
Then came a short, significant notice In
the Pennsylvanlan, the official dally
publication of University of Pennsyl
vanla students. The notice said "in
fluential alumni" had recommended that
the parade be abandoned Jt said Pro
vost Edgar Fahs Smith had withdrawn
his sanction.
The "Influential alumni" were not
ramed
Provost Smith at first denied. In a tele
phone conversation, that he had with
drawn his sanction for the parade, Later
ho admitted that he had "called off" the
demonstration of the University students.
He said he had not understood the ques
tion put to him the first time.
In the first conversation he said he did
not know the alumni whose Influence was
sufficiently powerful to force the Univer
sity to abandon complete plans for a big
demonstration. He washed his hands of
responsibility for the affair, putting It up
to the students and declaring himself In
favor of the rapid transit plans.
Ihe Provost, In this conversation, was
told that a reporter from the Evening)
LsnaKn would be sent out to see him.
His only reply was "all right." When
the reporter got to Provost Smith's office
he was told the Provost was not there,
that he had left word he had said all he
wanted to say on the transit question and
would not discuss the question further,
REFUSES TO NAME ALUMNUS.
The reporter waited until the Provost
returned, and met him outside the office.
Provost Smith then admitted that a cer
tain alumnus, whose name he positively
refused to give, had called upon him and
had declared the mass-meeting was a
political affair, suggesting It would not
be well for the University students tp mix
In it. Some days before this, the Provost
explained, another alumnus, W. 1C Kra
mer, had made the suggestion that the
students participate in the demonstration.
Acting on the first suggestion, the Pro
vost snt for Winthrop Williams, editor
of The Pennsylvanlan, ofllclal organ of
the University students, and repeated it in
substance to Mr. Williams. The Pennsyl

Ths Germans, flushed with their victory

are meeting, however, with constantly In

at this point has alarmed Paris, and the
French lines have bein stiffened to meet

Great Parade on Broad
Street Taylor Cheered.
Philadelphia demanded rapid transit last
night In a volte that will not be stilted
until a high-speed system touches every
part of the city.
Broad street, from Spruce to Arch, was
lined with thousands of person who
cheered the transit delegations as they
marched through a valley of red fire.
Bands played and a cannon on the roof
of tho building at 147 South Broad street
boomed every 30 seconds.
Thu immense throng dlsplajed a spirit
of determination, and this appeared to bo
shared by "Old Billy" Penn atop City
Hall, when his face was lighted up at
Intervals by rockets.
Every banner borne by the marchers
told a story which was short and to the
point. "We Know Our Power and Pro
pose to Use It," "We Demand High-Speed
Lines to Take Us Home," "Who Is the
Snake in thu Grass We are Going to
Find Out," "Councils Must Respond to
the Will of the People at Once," Uie bant
nera ran, as a warning to obstructionists
defying public opinion.
In keeping with the sentiment Indicated
by the banner was the message from
Senator Penrose urging an early electlou
that the people might vote to obtain thu.
funds necessary for transit development
He declared that there should be no de
lay, and that the high speed system
should be started at the earliest possible
moment.
The Senator's unequivocal avowal for
an early start of rapid transit was re
garded as especially slgnlHcant and a
strong Indication that the entire Re
publican Organization has been compelled
to bow to public opinion and support the
Taylor plan.
By a strange coincidence the cannon

soon after the parade ended, and several
speakers, after addressing the assemblage
within, spoke to the crowd waiting In
Broad street.
