villages nnd towns, Is enveloping many of
the counties of Now Jersey, while "Billy"
Sunday, across the Delaware, brings
thousands to the "sawdust troll." Echoes
of these victories achieved by the rural
pastors themselves stirred tho New Jer
tey Methodist Episcopal Conference In St.
rul Church, this morning.
In JHllvllle, spcaUcnsy keepers have been
tsrought within the palo of the church,

years about paying their Just debts Inyo

How rennlngton Seminary, tho strong
hold of Methodist theology In New Jersey,
ran he Disced on Its feet In a financial
sense, so that It shall no longer bo a bur
den to tho conference, hampering that
body In tho furtherance of other tasks,
was tho big topic for tho second day's
session.
Tho seminary Is laboring under a bur
den of debt constantly growing larger,
according to rcpoits submitted to tho
conference this morning by tho Rev. M.
B. Snyder, educational secretary, and tho
board of trustees. Last year there was
a deficit of J2270.81, of which amount ?l5l
repiesents tuition fees owed by students.
The leport showed that while ?60.491 has
been raised the last two years, thero Is
still an outstanding Indebtedness of
JS7.212.
The seminary has n replacement valuo
of $200,000. Tho reports paid a high tribute
'.to tho untiring work of tho late Clement
W. Shoemaker, president of the board of
trustees.
Tho Rev. J. II. Morgan, acting president
of Dickinson College, made an earnest and
eloquent plea for Pennington. Dr. Frank
McDanlel, head master of Pennln'-ston,
also asked aid for tho school.
A special committee report presented
-"by tho Rev. John Hnndley, Camden,
stated that subscriptions had been ob
tained to cover all but $16,000 of tho
Pennington debt, and recommended that
tha policy of tho last year bo continued
with an educational secretary in tho
field. Tho committee udvlscd that tho
Conference Educntio'nnl Society bo abol
ished and that lis work bo done in tho
future by tho conference educational de
dartment. The problem of assigning tho TJ odd pas
tors was token up lato yesterday, when
Bishop Henderson called nearly a scorn of
the foremost divines of the jurisdiction Into
conference. Today It was gcnerully noised
about that the Bishop proposes to exer
cise his own judgment very largely in
filling the big pastorates nnd particularly
In relation to the selection of two new
district superintendents, ono to succeed
the Rev. Stanford M. Nichols, on expira
tion of term, nnd tho other filling a va
cancy caused by tho recent death of tho
Rev. Tercy Perlnchlef. Tho belief Is
growing that one of these places will go
to the Rev. Joseph L. Surtecs, of Cam
den. SALOON'S DAYS NUMBERED.
There Is not u churchman here who does
not hold that tho days of tho saloon in
New Jersey arc numbered. That tho
IIouso will tefuse to pass tho Gnunt local
option bill is not regarded as remotely
probable, since tho Senate hns approved
tho measure and responsibility for dofent
now will rest on tho Republicans with
their 8Ubitdntl.nl majority In tho House.
Long Branch, Cape May, Burlington,
Mammonton, Pleasantvllle, Mays Land

will rout out tho saloon ns soon as tho

Bishop Henderson, the vigorous and
breezy Tennesscnn, told the conference
this morning. "A tremendous awaken

"JAG LIST" SENDS MINE HOST

MILFOUD, Pa., March 4.-No more will
Mine Host Albert Cottorlll draw the foam
ing beakers or clink the crystal Ice cubes
In the big. bar of tho old Cottcrlll House
here. No more will his cheerful voice ask
Pike Countlnns whnt'lt It be.
Mine Host AlbcrtJins "gone bust." A
"Jag list" has forced him Into the bank
ruptcy courts, and his hotel has closed Its
doors. And somo of the other seven hoi
telrlcs In the town may have to do the
same thing, The "Jng list" has them nil
on tho run.
Ker henr of a "Jag list"? Mine Host
Albert never henid of ono before a fort
night ngo. But he knows only too well
now whnt It Is.
It seems that there la n Pennsylvania
lnw, dating back to 1S56, which allows n
county court upon on application by any
reputable citizen to Issue a list of per
sons known to be overfond of the stuff
for which Pike County Is famous, and to
place tills list in each bar nnd order each
bartender to lettiso to serve any one
whoso name Is on It.
Mrs. Mary Wolf, head of the Mllford

SOCIALISTS DEMAND CITY
BUILT HOMES FOR POOR
Committee Snys People Should Bene
fit by Real Estate Growth.
"The city could do much toward bring
ing tho benellt of high-speed transit to
tno people ns n whole If it would turn
Into tho City Treasury the Increased value
of real estato bound to grow through the
extension of transit facilities, Instead ot
letting these swelling values fall to tho
few gentlemen engaged In real estate
speculation."
This Is tho suggestion with reference
to the transit situation made by tho Ex
ecutive Committee of the Socialist Party
In a letter to Councils. The committee,
recommends that this can best bo done
by tho city buying up property In the
vicinity of the proposed transit lines.
"Whoio such real estate," the letter
goes on to say, "could bo used for manu
facturing or mercantile establishments,
the city would be the gainer by leceivlng
tho rents which would otherwise go to
private Individuals who had done nothing
to crc.nto the now values. Such real es
tate as should be used for residential
purposes could be built up by the city.
Model homes could thus be provided,
tented to tho peoplo at cost, thereby tak
ing tho burden of landlordism oft the
backs of those least ablo to bear it."
Tho committee further states that if
work wero started on transit construc
tion at this tlmo It would bo disad
vantageous to the general interests of
tho laboring classes In tho city, duo to
the tow scale of wnges that prevails at
present. To offset this, tho committee
proposes that workmen employed In city
work shall not be paid less than 18 a
week.
i HOTEL MEN RAISING FUND
FOR FAMOUS COOK'S WIDOW
Prominent Inn Keepers Honor In
ventor of "Chicken a la King."
A final tribute to the man who Invented
what Is lodny the most famous bit ot
cookery In the world Is being pnld today
by Philadelphia hotel men, who nro col
lecting a purso for his widow and two
small son's. Tho man whose culinary
achievement the hotel men honor was
William King, llo died last Tuesday at
his home, B232 Osage avenue.
"Chicken a la King" Is the name of the
dish that has entranced tho world's epi
cureans, and, like nil good things, it is
simple. King compounded tho dish one
day 20 years ago at tho icquest of a
waiter at tho old Bellcvue Hotel. At that
time ho was an ordinary assistant cook
In the kitchen of the hostelry that later
was succeeded by tho Bellovuc-Strat-ford.
A patron with a jaded palate had been
grumbling, and the waiter asked King to
propaie somo dish Chat would please
the man. Kins cut up the white meat
of chicken Into small cubes. IIu ndded
fresh mushrooms, t In tho same way;
truffles, led am' green peppers, and
cooked the mixture in cream. The pat
ron nto It llngcrlngly and lovingly, as
ono who knew that he had met with a
masterpiece, and then wanted to know
who invented the dls'n.
"Hill King," said tho wnlter, "he works
In the kitchen."
"Chicken a la King," said the patron,
and so was the dish christened.
Since that day Its famo has spread
throughout tho United States and foreign
lands. In every restaurant where eating
Is something more than a necessity
"Chlckon a la King" holds a place of
importance on tho menu.
No tall shaft of granite that tho years
may wear away stands today In memory
of William King. His memorial Is In
that part of man's anatomy most closely
akin to the heart, and his name will be
perpetuated In tho dish he Invented.
Tho sum of $120 has been raised at
the Adelphla Hotel, 83 at the Believue
Stratford and $10 at the Vcndlg by the
hotel men who knew King. Purses aro
also being mado at tho St. James and
L'Alslon. For IS years after his triumph
he worked at tho Bellevue-Stratford in
the dining room, and then went to tho
now Adelphla as assistant captain, of
waiters. King died poor, leaving a widow
and two children.

Dealing With Violations.
WASHINGTON, JInrch 4.
President Wilson today held tho "whip
hand" In the wnr situation as the result
of passage by Congress last night of tho
neutrality resolution, and Administration
ofliclnls were jubilant.
This measure, signed today, gives the
President power to deal with any of tho
shipping complications likely to arise In
tho nenr future. It empowers him lu
stop all ships of Amctican registry from
leaving American poits If he thinks that
any grave risk or suspicion nttnehes to
their voynge.
It Is recognized that the Government
War ItlBk Hureati might suffer heavy
loscs If American ship") were allowed to
lake hazardous chances lu the war zone.
Administration officials ridicule tho Idea
that the lesolutlon gives the President
power to place an embargo on wheat or

They say theic Is no "Joker" In the reso
lution, nor nn concealed purpose.
It was stated that till the Stntc Depart

Congress acted was that the Kxecutlvo
be empowered to prevent tho misuse of
United States ports by belligerents.
It Is admitted that ships have cleared
fiom both the eastern nnd western ports
of the United Stntes for destinations that
they were never expected to reach, nnd
that they have transshipped coal, provi
sions and other supplies to warships and
auxiliary ciuiscrs of both Germany and
Kngland on the high seas. Under tho
new regulation this will bo Impossible.
Where the President hnn the slightest
suspicion that any such plan is intended
ho may withhold clearance papers.
Ah hi iRinnlly diafteil the resolution
could have been construed ns authorizing
the .President lo place an embargo on all

RELIGION AND CHARACTER
Rev R, K. Yerkcs Delivers Lenten
Service nt St. Peter's.
The Influence of rcllgloits belief In mak
ing chnracter was dwelt upon by the
Rev. Itoydcn K. Yerkcs, rector of the
Church of the Transfiguration, nt the
noonday Lenten servlco In St. Peter's
Chuieh, 3d nnd Pine streets, today.
"By tcllglous belief," he said, "wo mean
those principles which underlie nnd
govern n man's religious life nnd not
merely those things to which ho says ho
gives assent. A man who snys ho be
lieves and does not so net docs not really
believe.
"He who believes In Christ wilt lead ft
Chrlst-IIke life. Ono of tho great re
ligious needs Is that men know just whnt
they believe and act accordingly nnd that
their belief should actively Influcnco their
lives nnd their nctlons toward thoso with
whom they come In contact."
Dili ELIOT'S VIEW ASSAILED
Doctor Richtmlson Replies to Attack
on "Empty Ritual."
The statement of Dr. Chatles Eliot,
president cmctltus of Harvard, that Iho
trouble with tho churches Is that they
havo ton much empty ritual, was attacked
by the Rev. George I Rlchaidson, pastor
of St. Mary's Church, AVcst Philadelphia,
nt the noonday Icnten servlco In Old St.
Paul's Church. 3d street below Wnlnut,
today.
"I object to the assumption that any
thing empty is useless," said Doctor
RIchnilson, "and that It ought to bo
abolished for that reason. An empty thing
thnt can bo lllled with something valuable
Is very importnnt.
"If you camo to a well nnd found nn
empty bucket you would not throw It
nwny because It wns empty. There nro
services that are empty hut they ought
to be tilled with earnestness nnd devotion.
A service Is empty only In en fnr ns wo
mnko It o ourselves. Tho real trouble Is
empty lives and not empty ritual."
BUSINESS OF SALVATION
Tho Rev. Doctor McKim Talks on Hu
i man Responsibility.
The working out of our snlvntlon
should not be n "mere side show to the
serious business nf life," nccordlng to the
Rev. Randolph II. McKlm. of Washing
ton, D. C , who spoke on "Human Respon
sibility of Salvation" nt the noonday
Lenten service at St. Stephen's Protestant
Episcopal Church, 10th street rfbovo
Chestnut, today.
Dr. McKlm said:
"This exhortation 'work out your own
salvation' calls for diligence, earnestness,
laborious effort. It recalls the words of
the Master: 'Strive to enter in at tho
straight gate, for many I say unto you
will keck to enter in nnd shall not bo
able, because strait is the gate and nar
row tho way which lcadeth Into life,
nnd few thero bo that find It."
"Thoso solemn words should convince
us that tho working out of our salva
tionthat Is, tho attainment of the Christ
likeness Is no mere sldo show to tho
serious buslncfes of life, but Is Itself tho
chief business of every man's life, to
which his energies should bo primarily
directed."
