Jltst as the men are In many sections,
according to the charlt workers.

the only one. Mr. Long, when asked
what he thought of the suggestion, re

city where a down-and-out woman can
Bo. but not one where slie Is given n
flee chance to rise from the muck un

conduct such a home, and It will bo
created There are people In Philadel
phia who realize the dlro need of lust
such a place and are ready and anxious
to tiubscrlbe tho funds necessarj to
hulld it "
MltS. r.OXCI'S VIEWS.
Mrs Long said: t
"A woman Is Judged to be what her
appearance Indicates. Not so with a
man. Teople assume he Is unfortunate.
The care of unfortunate women must
be practical and material as well as
spiritual. She must have shelter, clean
clothes that make her attractive, food
to sustain her and then a chance to help
herself
"The only solution Is such a house for
women as Inasmuch Is for men, where
a woman may obtain all the necessaries
for her lehabilitntlon, no matter how
bad she may be in morals and looks, and
also to have exerted upon her the con
stant Influence of religion that she may
"be made to see that her only way Is
through the acceptance of Christ. No
creeds shall play a part In such a house."
Staff Captain Campbell, of the Salvation
Army, said today there was nothing so
badly needed In this city as a home for
women. The support of others Interested
ift relief was equally enthusiastic.
ELDERS DEMAND PASTOR'S
RESIGNATION IN CHURCH ROW
Counter Charges Made by Factions of
St. Paul's Congregation,

which at the instance of the elders la
trying; (o force the ltev, J. 13. Lee out
of the pastorate. Friends of the pastor
In turn demand the resignation of 10
eiders, who back the demand for the
clergyman's resignation,
Jn an address to the congregation yes
terday Doctor Iee said the elders were
"n, self-perpetuating clique." He also
rend the request for his resignation and,
Jn addition, the demand for the resigna
tion of the elders. He gave no Indica
tion of relinquishing his charge In tho
ourse of his talk, and In an Interview
subsequently declared emphatically hq
would perform his duties for the present
as usual
A meeting has been called for Wednes
day night, when the matter will be
threshed out, according to the pastor.
Ill- futher Recused the treasurer of aid

among the church members, and declared
mat a rumor to the effect that soma of
the church funds had been used tempo
rarily for private purposes had been with

Audit Committee refused to credit the

CANAL OFFERS VAST
PROFIT TO PORT
c'nntlniird from lflge One
opment with tho West mast through tho
C'.innl via Philadelphia
"It Is a icmniKnble fuel that general
enigncs are being ieelved at Phllndel-
Phin,o
pnia itom inc I'nrwir coiim mm ii.iiik
I fdilpped by i.iil throughout V5 different
1 Mutes Including Viiginia, West Vlicini.i,
I Ohio. Kentuclo, Tennessee, Indiana, MIs-
souil. Illinois. Michigan nnd Wisconsin.
The cargoes comprise ennned goods nnd
vegetables, ennned salmon, dried beans,
diled fruits. Hour, meal, sieds, stocla
foods, casein, e;c, etc. Fifty towns in
Pminsjlvnnin nlono uro lecelving these,
Hhlpments.
"There Is a wide range In the fielght
late classification by boat as well as by
lallrond. Heavy compact goods arc nec
essarily cheaper to ship than bulkier
articles. The basis of fielght rntes Is,
of course, determined by both weight nnd
bulk. But It Is a fact that where. In
October last, n caigo via the Canal con
sisted almost entirely of heavy material,
In December the character of cargoes had
changed to Include the lighter nnd
heavier materials in about equal ainounts.
In other words, the advantages of the
rail and boat route via Philadelphia urn
being lecoguized li.v shippers in a wide
vnriety of commodities. With this de
velopment In the character of the cargoes
the volume lias increased Immensely.
THIIBB LINKS AVAILABLE.
"Three lines of steamers are handling
this trail I c from Philadelphia, insuring
frequent sailings.
"The length of the vonge between
Philadelphia and the West t'oast Is nbout
19 days, and approximates the time of
shipment required by the all rail route.
Of course, there should be added to the
voyage time the time consumed by rail
between the seaboard and the Interior
point.
"Look at the freight saving In dollais
and cents, A concern In Youngstovvn,
Ohio, for instnnce, can ship a carload
of steel plates to San Finuclsco via
Philadelphia and the Canal for n total
charge of 47 cents per 100 pounds. To
this should he added a small amount for
handling, wharfage and marine Insurance.
The cost of sending this same carload by
rail across the continent to San Fran
cisco would be $0 cents per 100 pounds.
The saving effected, therefore, by the
Canal route via Philadelphia, Is at the
rate of about 30 rents per 100 pounds.
"Take it the other way. From San
Francisco to Wheeling, W. Va . for In
stance, a carload of canned fruits and
vegetables can be shipped via the canal
lo Philadelphia, and thence by rail to
Wheeling, for a total cost of 45 cents per
100 pounds, plus tho small charge for
wharfage, etc The cost ot this ship
ment from San Francisco to Wheeling
by the all-rail route would he at the rate
of E5 cents per 100 pounds, the saving
effected being approximately 33 cents by
the boat route.
"Is It any wonder that this traffic has
developed rapidly? Yet thousands of
shippers are perhaps unaware that these
possibilities In freight saving exist.
Throughout much ot the great section
which should use this route via Philadel
phia the traffic awaits developing,
"What is needed Is the nucleus for re.
turn cargoes to the Pacific Coast.
WEST COAST TRAFFIC.
"It would be difficult to compare the
rates by both routes on tha thousand
and one different kinds of commodities.
To Illustrate, however, a comparative
schedule Is given on canned fruits and
vegetables, as representing the east
bound traffic; likewise a comparative
schedule of the rates on steel plates as
representing west-bound tratllc. These
figures show the potentialities for de
veloping tratllc with the wst coast.
Speaking In general terms, the difference
In the savings on the different classes of
freight Is a relative one. Indeed, we
are told that water rates (referring1 to
the boat trip only) will average around
one-third of all rail rates. Knough la

It piopcrly belongs In tho front tank of
the great ports of the world It Is second
In the list of North American porta In
the amount of tonnage handled and the
number of vessels engaged in commerce
arriving here each year.
"It is a curious coincidence that If this
port's business Is handled properly It will
not result In a loss of Income to uny of
the railroads that now enter Philadel
phia. It will be the railroads west of
Chicago and St. Louis that will really
suffer as the result of Canal competition.
With our particular railroads bore, what
freight they may lose on shipments for
merly sent across tho continent by rail
will bo mado up from freights received
for goods shipped to and from interior
points via Philadelphia.
"The Lehigh Valley Railroad Company
announced a few days ago that It had
opened an office In San Francisco, and no
doubt the other railroads will follow, If
they have not already such oIHccb es

fertile field for our railroad freight so
licitors would be near their Western ter
minal. "Tho development of tho pprt of Phila
delphia Is not a local affair; tho entire
State of Pennsylvania should be Inter
ested In giving every facility possible, so
as to prepare for the largely Increased
business that Is bound to be handled
through this city."

strata to Councils that the 31,000,000 item
for the rehabilitation of RlockIejr, voted
by the people In tho 311,300.000 loan, must
be appropriated. Councils Jiave been evi
dencing an Intention of holding Op this
appropriation. .
The big West Philadelphia Institution
now Is more overcrowded than over. It
is possible that a short, address rosy be
mado by Mr. Sunday lit the largo hall
at 3lth apd Spruce streets.
The party will meet In tho office ot
Mayor Ulankepburg at 2 o'clock this
afternoon. A meeting of Councils' Hpe
clal Committee qn Legislation has been
called for the same hour, and there are
evidences that many members of tho two
Councilman!? committees Invited may
take advantage of this to sidestep the
visit to Olockley. All Councilmen are
welcome, however, according to Mayor
ntankenburg. and a large delegation is
expected to participate In the tour.
Councils have been holding up the ap
propriation on tho contention that definite
plans for the rehabilitation have not yet
been made. It Is pointed out by the
Mayor and those who want to se work
started on Blockley that it Is hardly
passible to do even this work: without
money, (

Ho Jumped to the top of tho pulpit and
shook tho flag in the faces of the thou
sands. "rou'va got lo go over Iny dead body
to get to themt" lie cried. "Over my
dead body and trample this flag Into the

"Say, you men of Philadelphia, glvo me
your vowa that, if you ever get the chance
to Aote her dry, you'll do III Cdmo on, all
yott who'IItpromtset Get up nnd let's have

TvVlce yesterday, when he shouted those
words, the lens of thoutands surged to
their feet, nnd tho great demonstration
was on.
11 was a finale to a sermon that 'scored
tho farmer who sold his grain to tho dis
tillery; scored tho man on his way to
"church nnd to Heaven" who was "going
straight to hell," slnco he voted for rum:
scored those who nsserted tax rales
Jumped up when whisky Jumped out!
scored thoso responsible, through liquor,
for the hordes In Insane asylums, alms
houses. In penitentiaries waiting fcr the
electric chair, nnd scored thoso respon
sible, directly nnd indirectly, for the
JGj.fXM "whisky-orphaned children' In
America,
Tho words of Lincoln, McKlnloy and
Roosevelt ngalnst liquor were quoted by
tho evangelist nnd thev were cheered to
no echo. Sunday grabbed his American
ring, crying:
ilvcry plot raised to overthrow the
United States Government and trample
tinder foot this glorious old flag, wriggled
nnd crawled out of the pit of hell!" That
hell was a "liquor hell."
STATISTICS ON' LIQUOR.
The farmer got B0 cents for a bushel of
corn. The brewer made 36 pints from It.
Willi three of thoso pints, Sunds;
wrecked eight lives and sent three per
sons to the gallows. Ho told of what the
Federal puro food laws said beer should
bo made of, what It really was mado of,
and he hit at tho Administration that
"kicked out old Doc "Wiley, tho best friend
of the American pooplc." Ho showed that
only 10 to IE per cent, of tho whisky on
the market was pure, actually "bottled Jn
bond."
Ho said that It was Just as easy "to
regulato a powder mill In hell" as to
regulate, the whisky traffic by high 11
i ensc. Kverythlng good wns opposed ta
It and everything bad was for It. Frater
nal organizations, 6G of the G( leading
ones In America, would not admit ns
members persons connected with the rum
business. Ills statistics made men gasp.
Ho placed tho saloons of the country side
by side. Their fronts made a 60lld wall
from Philadelphia to Denver. He sounded
n funeral dirge and a funeral procession
of 000.000 hearses yearly crossed the con
tinent from New York to Seattle. They
woro cnrrjlng bodies of those who died
directly or indirectly ns the result of
drink.
Kighty died because of It every hour;
iOOO every day. He took Insurance com
pany figures. Tho total abstainer lived
t5 yeuis: tho moderate drinker 61; and
tho heavy drinker only 35. Ho hit at
"Iho high-toned ealoon."
The applause wnu uproarious when he
spoko of John Mitchell, labor lender, who
unld that, ob tho labor movement grows,
tempcrnnro grows. The man with the
dlunerpall, Sunday cilcd, was the neme
sis of tho saloon That man was crash
ing it to Its doom. Tho United States
has lost $3,000,000 In liquor revenue, as
shown by thn November statements.
"Politicians," he shouted, "see the sa
loon's doom written largo across the
land! Thev wee they cannot stavo off
national piohlbltion more than 10 yearsl
Tho railroads aro against liquor. When
a man comes up for election, if ho be
Republican, Democrat or Progressive,
and lie'a In favor of tho saloon, to hell
with him. To hell with him!"
Tho congregations cheered wlldlj, as
Sunday plunged on, "spending for meat
and clothes nnd flour, things to wear or
to put Into one to make bone and muscle,
the 81,200,000.000 spent on booze in Amer
ica last year."
"With effective acting, striking word
pictures, he told of outrages committed
by drunkards. Ho pictured a young-man
staggering across tho stieeta of Chicago
one Sunday morning to get a drink,
knocking down his sister when she came
to remonstrate with him and shooting
dead the man who Interfered.

resentative of Mayor Blankcnburg, Phila
delphia Congressmen nnd business men

SHIPWRECKED MEN
TIEWOMENTORAFT
AND DRIFT FOR DAYS
Last of the Tripe and Blue

Steamship Appears and
Rescues Twelve at Sea.
NEW TOHK, Feb. l.-Mato Charles Ol
son, a light-haired six-footer of Boston,
nnd Fred "Warner, the cook ot the late
barkentlno 13thel V. Boynlon, told n iale
today of experiences nt sea stranger than
most men's dreams.
With Bovcn of their 'fellow castaways
they arrived on tho Ward liner Monterey
from Santiago.
The American barkentlne, built nt Har
rington, Me., in 1S30, left Moblto for
Genoa on the day following Christmas,
Captain Waldcmnr had with him Ills wife
nnd niece. Miss Gladys Larrock, of Bos
ton. JO years old. On board tvere 12p all
told.
On the 15th day out, January 11, nt
S n. m., a hurricane set In from tho south,
during which the barkentlne was novo to
until midnight, nftcr which she drove
before It. Next morning Iho vcpsel was
leaking so badly, tho watch was so
powerless at tho pumps and tho cargo so
"restless" they heaved tho deck load
overboard,
A wave 40 feet high swept over tho ship,
tearing nwny M feet of the quarter deck
and carrying It overboard. By midnight
of the 12th the Ethel V. Boynton Was
waterlogged.
A wave tore out tho forward house
and tho fo'c'slo deck, cnrrjlng thctn
way on tho 13th. Tho lumber below wns
nn tho move, banging at the sides nnd
forcing Itself up against tho dock, while
seas wcro tearing away tho old fabrlo
plcco by piece.
They chopped away the main nnd mlz
zen masts, and tried to launch the yawl,
but It was dashed to pieces ngalnst the
side. Tho starboard side of tho vessel
opened up, letting more lumber go adrift.
The foremast Jammed Itself through the
bottom of the seaworn shir nnd disap
peared. The foredeck also broke oft where
the foremast had been and drifted away.
All this happened on tho 13th.
At 2:S0 a. m., Jnnunry 14, her stern
broke off entirely. Lumber that re
mained within the hold punched through
ribs, strokes and tho main deck, Two
hours later, whllo all hands, Including
the two women, were lnshed on the nfter
part of what was left of the lumberman,
tho main deck broke off. They saw It
float awny and vanish from sight.
At 6 a. m,. n half hour after the main
deck had disappeared, tho crew began'
breaking up the after house, from tha
nieces of which thev constructcil a. lnit.
To tho Joy of all hands, they sighted
tho mnln deck ngaln at 7:30 a. m. The
ten men and two womon embarked on
the raft. Mrs. Waldemar nnd Miss tar
rock were lashed to It. Seizing soma
boards from tho cargo, tho castaways
paddled to the main deck, upon which
they clambered.
With raro foresight they made fast the
raft to the deck, upon which they now
were, 60 miles east of Wilmington. JwC.
With them they took ono can of tripe
and threo tins of canned blueberries,
tho only food the cook was nblo to find
after tho barkentlno became waterlog
ged. While tied to tho afterhouso on the
wreck they had no fresh water. Now
to their unspeakable Joy tho castaways
found lashed to tho main deck a aisle
containing three gallons ot brackish
water.
It wns 9:30 a. in,, January 14, when they
shifted from tho raft to the main deck.
There they remained, Mrs. Waldemar and!
Miss T.orrnck lnshed flat to the planning,
until January 17.
AVnrncr. the cook, with a piece of wire,
would carefully stir tho contents of n tin
of tripe, picking out portions of ns nearly
equal size as poslDie nnct issuing one
piece to each ot the dozen hungry' per
sons thrice a day.
At 11 p. m January 17, the main deck
began to crumble, Tho women again
were lashed prostrate upon the raft.
During tho whole period upon tho rafts
they were surrounded by sharks, which
they struck upon the head with their
ptne-board paddles.
As Miss Ixirrack after the transfer
looked up at the mate, alio said:
"Mr. Olsen, we shall never seo Boston
again."
"Don't give up." said the mate.
Smiling up nt him the girl said: "Well,
we will die with good and true hearts."
Tho morning of Jnnuary 18 they nte
tho last of the tripe and of tho blueber
ries. At 10:30 a. m. that day tho Ward
liner Mnnzanlllo for Santiago sighted
them nnd then lowered n boat.
All went to tho hospital In Santiago,
but soon recovered.
