the rautlno business.
In the mtd3t of the Introduction of tho
petitions of various sorts, the Vice Presi
dent laid before the Senate a resolution
coming over from a preceding day. No
sooner had the clerk stated Its number
than Setiutor Gore ashed that tho voto on
It bo taken by rollcall. This was agreed
to l)efore the Republicans realized what
was happening.
Immediately nearly oyery Republican
In tho chamber was on his feot de
manding to know what the resolution
wasi Then It dovelopcd that It was the
resolution to dlschargo tho hostile Com
merce Committee from further considera
tion of' the Gore ship purchase sub
stitute. Ati amrmatlve vote on this would bring
the Gnrc bill, the nearest approach to
a. compromise yet drafted, before tho Sen
ate, and -would ellmlnato tho necessity
tor'amendlng the bill on the floor.
The Republicans had caught their
breath by now, however, and Senator
Burton launched Into a filibustering,
speech.

vestigate reports that authorised Gov
ermtieht agenfs had obtained options on
interned shlpj, to be bought In event of

Negro Says He tiled
m Rosenthal Case
Continued from raft One
greatly obliged If you can arrange for
Mr. Johnston, of my 6fllce. to meet Mar
shall and get statement from him."
Marshalli who lives at Ut2 South street,
asserted that his testimony wss sought by
tho Btato because there was- n link miss
ing In the chain of evidence against
Betker, namely the testimony of a disin
terested person lo the effect that lhre
has a murder plot to db away with
Rosenthal. Acting under Instructions,
Marshall until ho testified that ha had
sen Becker talking to -"Bald Jack" Rose,
Brldgle Webber and Sam Schepps at the
"Harlem conference." 124th street nnd
7th avenue. This furnished the needed
link which tho prosecution sought to
Upturn.
"I Was taken to New Tork by Tom
Maxwell, brother of Jo Maxwell, a New
-York theatrical ngenr, under tho pretense
of signing . contract ror a 20-week en
gagement In a Now York theatre," anlcf
Marshall today. "When we reached Now
York I Was surprised when I was strved
with a subpoena calling me as a witness
In tho Becker trial. That was last May,
"I was taken to tho ofllco of F. B.
Groehl, an Assistant District Attorney,
where I was examined as to my knowl
edge of the, case," he said. "I told them
that I know nothing about a murder
conspiracy,"
Marshall then related the conversation
between himself and tho Assistant Dis
trict Attorney, aB follows:
"'Did ou sea Becker, Jack Rose,
Brldgle Webber and Sam Schepps talking
nt tha corner or 121th street and 7th ave
nue.?' I was asked.
" 'No! I answered.'
"i'You know Becker, don't you?' I then
via asked.'
" 'I know Becker,' I replied, 'but I don't
know these other men and can't say that
I saw them talking with Becker.'
"It was then pointed oilt to me that
the State had plenty of evidence that the
three men seen tnlklng with Becker Were
Rose, Weber and Schepps, but that the
witnesses who testified to that effect were
all discredited by the court because they
had an Interest In the case. Sines It was
a known fact that they wcro tho men and
that t had seen Becker, I was urged to
testify to that effect.
"I hesitated, but finally agreed to tes
tify according to the District Attorney's'
wishes "
Marshall's testimony, given during the
second trial of Becker, on May, 18, I.J,
proved to be tho turning point In thn
case against tho former lieutenant of po
lice. Marshall was tho most reliable wit
ness called by tho proscclutlon.
The Negro, who Is said to have been
a former stool pigeon of Becksr's, gavo
his testimony In a straightforward man
ner that convinced the Jury.
Marshall's mother lives at 46 West 133
street, New York.

Contlnord from rage One
"Billy's" life. Ho was proud something
new for hlm-and ho told the converts so.
"I'm proud of you boys nnd girls of
old 'Phllly'l" ho shouted. "I don't think
there's; any city In tho country that can
beat this. It's greatl"
After the meeting tho evAngellst wan
asked what h thought of the scene.
He laughed and said!
"It was marvelous! Fine! Greatl I
never saw the like before. It was a great
and grand surprise. I feel moat grateful
for this wonderful demonstration. It
shows how the good effect of tho meet
ing Is reaching out. It's fine that tho
young people shbw auch Interest In re
ligion. No person can guess what It
means for the future of old Philadel
phia." .
Admission tins afternoon waa uy ucnei
only, nnd there were thousand of per
sons clamoring outside tho wooden build
ing in vain, because they were without
tho necessary cardboards.
There were 103 schools represented.
They Included 10 Philadelphia high
schools and their annexes, 20 high schools
from cities ahd towhs within a radius of
to miles around this city, 24 preparatory
schools and S3 business schools and col
leges. Besides tho students that came, 2000 and
more men and women teachers nnd offi
cials of the schools occupied seats In tha
choir 10ft.
Atf APPROPRIATE PARODT.
When "Billy" appeared thoro was an
outburst of applause. It seemed that tho
roof of the tabernaclo must fly off from
the pressuro of the volume of sound,
One of tho most popular songs was a
parody on the Yale "Boola Boola" song
by tho Chester High School students.
It brought storms of applause nnd Mary
Walters, the youthful cheor lender, rep
resenting tho school, was called upon to
glvo It time and time nsaln. Tho words
aro aB follows:
Billy" Sunday, "nilly" Sunday,
Oo It, "Billy,1' go It. "Dllly":
It u lore ua, you will nevir, never fall us,
"Billy," dear.
Students were present from the Central,
West Philadelphia, William Penn, the
Girls', Northeast, Gcrmantown and
Southern High School and all tho an
nexes. "Ma" Sunday Is slightly Indisposed as
a result of tho close nlr In tho taber
nacle and tho dust raised by tho rush of
school chlldron to hit tho trait this ntter
noon. As she was mounting the steps to
her homo, on Spring Garden Btrcct, she
folt faint and was helped to her room
by Mr. Sunday nnd Mrs. Robert Stover.
Her condition is not serious.
"Billy" went to the headquarters of
tho nmergency Aid Committee In tho
Lincoln Building this morning, while on
his way to tho residence of Mr, nnd Mrs.
A. J. Drexel Blddle, with whom ho hart
luncheon. Ho took with him about $70
which he received in the mall this morn
ing to be ndded to the tabernaclo offer
lngn for tho Kmergency Aid work. Tho
collection for this purposo last night
amounted to $2708.51, which brought tho
total tnbornacle offering for this causo up
to $5187.23.
Tonight Sunday will cither preach on
"Hidden Among tho Stuff" or "Tho King
Shirking His Crown." The latter Is, a
new sermon tho evengellst completed to
day. LAST NIGHT'S MEETING.
Almost 3500 University of Pennsylvania
students cheered "Billy' Sunday In tho
tabernacle last night when ho repented his
popular sermon on "Amusements." Tho
special offering received for the benefit
of the Emergency Aid Committee work,
amounted to moro than 32000.
It was a "men only" night, nnd tho
athletic preacher yanked off his collar
and opened his shirt nt the throat as soon
as ho began to preach, making himself
comfortable for the task of Bpeaklng for
about two hours, and bringing the yolW
and npplauso from tho multitude in the
tabernacle.
Besides tho big delegation or students
from Old Penn, Swarthmore, Haverford,
tho Philadelphia Electric Company nnd
the Philadelphia Produce Exchange sent
hundreds of representatives to the meet
ing. Special sections were reserved for
thorn, and thoy Joined heartily In (singing
"Onward. Christian Soldiers" nnd other
patriotic hymns, appropriate to Lincoln's
Birthday.
The cheering was led by Jimmy Pattor- '
Hon, ma eu ana time 3 sprinter, who won
fame In the 1913 Olymplo games. Tho
little runner worked almost as hard as
"Rodey" doos when ho leads the singing.
Sunday stirred tho nudlence when ho
said" .
"Somebody asked me why I preach this
kind of sermon Instead of the Gospel.
Well. I'll tell you. I do It to point out tho
things that are keeping peoplo from God.
1 dofy any lobster In tho tabernaclo to
tuccessfully contradlat me. If any ona
hero doeBn't want to hear the sermon,
why, you can boat It while the collection
Is lielng received," "Billy" also went after
the critics of tho language ho uses In th
pulpit.
Again he attacked the dance as tho
greatest "soul destroyer devised" of the
different amusements, and nlso hammered
card playing and the questionable theatri
cal performances.
When ho had finished preaching ho
looked aa though he wera "all In." as ha
puts It, but ha leaned far over the plat
form and called for the University men,
and every othor man "who stands for de
cency." to come down'nnd take his hand
and publicly confess their belief In Christ
nnd their willingness to serve Ills cause.
There wore 255 converts, which, with the
veterans of the Civil War and others who
took Sunday's hand In the afternoon,
brought the number of "trail hitters" for
the day up to 458.
