truth of this Is required than tho row
of skating club houses that lino the
Schuylkill River banks In Falrrnount

mony, there must havo been considerable
Ice on tho river each winter to Justify
the building of houses that would not

maybe two days when skaters wcro per
mitted on the ico there. And tho en
joyment of tho Bport on even the small

That tho skating enthusiasm among the

Clergymen nnd church members who are
seeking wealthy and socially prominent
person? for membership In their congrega
tions in prefcirncc to "ordinary folk"
came In for a verbal lashing from "Hilly"
Sunday In the tnbernaclo this afternoon.
The evangelist declared his belief that
one-half of tho church members have
never been converted and that tho great
est need of the church was for thoso
within her to "get right with God" and
then become active In saving others for
Christ.
"You make mo tired." he snooted Into
tho faces of tho multitude that crowded
tho great wooden temple, "trying to get
tho rich ducks Into the church and pass
ing up the ordinary people. You're the
biggest fool living' If yotr'sny you love
God and do not believe In Christ as Ills
Son. You must have fellowship with tho
Loid to bo born again. Onc-hnlf of tho
people In the chinches don't havo any
religious experience. I believe one-half
of them have never been conveitcd. The
first evidence of ClulHtlnnity Is the leach
ing out for tho unsaved, not for some
person with wealth nnd social Inllucncc,
but for the ordinary people who make up
the masses of the country. If you give
tho best that Is In you for God He will
glvo you more. If you don't do any
thing jou will lovo what ou have."
Tho evangelist said that ho wns led to
preach this sermon, which was on "Com
passion," because of the remark a certain
pastor made when a family of six persons
was admitted into his congregation." Tho
pastor said, "They will add numbers, but
not wealth and Influence, to my church."
THE WITHERED HAND.
Billy" compared many of tho people in
the church to tho man with the witheied
hand, and said they should follow the
examplo of that man In order to become
of service and undergo real religious ex
perience. "Suppose that ninu had wrapped his
withered hand In a napkin and never tried
to use It. Ho never would have been
privileged to do so," the cvnngellst de
clared. Then, continuing, ho said: "That's
tho trouble with tho people in tho church.
They have wrlgglo-talls In their experi
ence. They get a little religious experi
ence and then wrap It up until Sunday,
going to card parties, drinking beer, wlno
and champagne during tho week. God
doesn't care for rummage sales, oyster
suppers and tho'so things that occupy so
much of your time. Ho doesn't need
money. lie needs men and women who
aro willing to- go out nnd win every man
and woman with whom they come In con
tact for Christ.
"Ho needs men and women who have
been truly convened to do Ills work. A
mistake Is made in putting unconverted
people to work. You can seo them as
teachers In the Sunday schools, as trus
tees and In tho cholis. One-half of the
church scraps start In the choir lofts.
Lots of people sing for money, for Bhow
or for compliments. They sing for almost
anything except for the kingdom of God."
HITS niCII MEMBERS.
Intemperance among tho "rich ducks"
In the churches of Philadelphia also re

ovnngellst. Pointing lib) linger Into the
faces of the audience, whllo he leaned
far over the pulpit, "Billy" yelled:
"Some of the biggest boozehlstors In
Philadelphia stand high In social nnd
commercial life, nnd aro doing more to
damn Philadelphia than any saloon In tho
city."
After telling how Christ received the
sinners of all classes and forgave them,
Sunday again urged the church people to
make their churches save the unfortu-

Annual Report to Stock

President Samuel Rea, of the Pennsyl
vania Knlltoad, In his annual report to
the stockholders of the company, urges
that the Interstate Commerce Commission
bo given greater powers through the
amendment of Federal laws and that the
commission, by specific provisions In
thebo laws, bo empowered to strengthen
tho rullroadh of the country. If this were
done, ho holds, It would encourago the
Investment of private capital and mate
ilally help strengthen tho railroads and
help In tho expansion of their facilities
and service.
"The commission should be enlarged and
so organised as to be able to deal
promptly with Important railroad ques
tions, which, under the existing scheme
of Governmental regulation, must be con
sidered by It," says President Rea.
That tho Interstate Commerco Commis

order to further thla work, Is also urged
by President Rea.
"Tho position of a commissioner should
bo placed beyond political Influence by
a long tenure of ofllce," he says, "and

GIRL KILLED IN HOTEL

Friends of Mrs. Hall Say
St. Clair, Who Ended
His Life After Murder
ing Her, Offered Her
Work as Movie Actress.
A web of conflicting stories, some
sordid and some that tell of a beautiful
woman's wonderful self-sacrifice for love
of her ailing husband, Is being woven
today around tho tragedy of murder nnd
suicide enacted Inst night In a batluoom
ot the Hotel Windsor. In Filbert street.
The woman hns been Identified ns Mrs.
Edna Hall, wife of Harry Hall, who Is
dying of tuberculosis nt Watcrbury,
Conn. Tho man who killed licr with a
revolver bullet nnd then cndetUhls own
life was Charles C. St. Clair, 6-puglllst,
n tnxlcah driver of New York city.
Friends of the woman In New York
f,
sny she wns lined away by 'piomlscs of
employment In this city us it moving
picture ncticss. This theoty of tho case
Is partially substantiated In dispatches
from Watcrbury. Her fi lends say she
cared nothing for St. Clair and went
with him only In the hope of raising
funds to sond 'ner husband to the West,
11 hero he might have a chance to le-
cover.
Against this tale detectives at wotk on
tho caso place tho cvldcnco they have
gathered. This Is to tho effect that the
woman had been peifcctly happy with
St. Clair at Cho hotel. There also Is a
letter written to tho man by the woman
n few hotits before she died by his hand.
In It he is addressed in teims of endear
ment. "LURED TO THIS CITV."
Miss H. Ramcy, of 217 West 3ith stiect.
New York, says Mrs. Hull wns lured to
this city.
"Mi. Hall woiked In n drug stole
here," she said, "earning Just enough to
mnke ends meet and send little things to
her husband. Slio told me time nnd again
that ehe must try to get 11 position that
would pcimit her to send him uway for
treutment.
"St. Clair bothered her to death, but
she never would go any place with him.
Last Saturday he told her ho had found
a tine position for her In Philadelphia.
She told mo ubout It as she was leaving
in the nftemoon. She wns so happy.
" 'Now 1 can take cure of Han y,' ehe
said, as she went out tho door."
Tho rtory from Waterbury Is that the
former Edna Potter had been fired for
years by an all-consuming ambition to
go on the stage. She was twice married,
hpr first husband having been Hubert
Nixon, nn actor and composer. She di
vorced him and murrled Hall last October.
He Is nn engineer nt Watcrbury.
The father and mother of Mrs. Hall,
who live at Waterbury, have not jet
been told of tho traged). Her husband
fears It will kill them. Ho was terribly
shocked by the news of his wife's tragic
death.
So far no one has claimed the bodies.

Vanderbilt and Andrew Carnogle, all of
whom wcro marked for death was re

to destroy St. Patrick's Cathedral In Eth

Police Investigation, following tho clever
work of detectives in frustrating tho effort
to wreck the splendid place of worship,
lcvealcd tho tremendous extent of tho
reign of terror which tho anarchists had
plunncd to Inaugurate. Ranks were to
bo raided and wholesale assassinations of
rich nnd prominent men wero planned.
Armed with rifles nnd shotguns, lawless
bands were to appear In, all parts of the
city shooting and robbing.

A lighted bomb was placed In the Cathe

were attending early mass. Tho infernal
machine was a powerful one, capable of
killing a scoro or moro of persons had It
exploded, but the fuso was extinguished
by u detoctlve who had learned of tho
anarchists' plot after being admitted to
membership in their organization.
As he extinguished tho fuse, other
detectives arrested Frank Abarno, 21
years old. and Charles Carbono, IS years
old. In the possession of Abarno two
bombs wcro found. Carbone Is said to bo
tho man who made tho bombs. The two
men nre believed to be members of the

SLEUTH IN ANARCHIST CHJISE.
Shortly after the arrest of Abarno and
Carbone tho police also took Into cus

he wns a lnborcr.
An example of the Intricacy of the de

not even known to the police. It wns not

a real member of tho anarchist band, but
a sleuth who had been on tho trail of
the criminals.

such 11 campaign nf violence as the anar
