SUNDAY PUTS STAMP v
OF CONDEMNATION ON
DENIERS OF CHRIST
In Word Pictures Evan
gelist Paints Devotion of
Barrabas and Exhorts
Listeners to Follow Ex
ample of Allegiance to
Saviour.
Novor, slnco ho camo to rhlladclplila
has "Billy" Sunday preached a moro
dramatic sermon than his dlscourso this
aftomoon on "Bnrabbns." It was a new
sermon. Ho wrote It for tho service this
afternoon nnd put all his power and
dramatic ability Into it and was received
with tremendous applauso and enthusi
asm by tho audience.
Those who havo watched "Hilly" dur
ing his sermons havo agreed that ho Is
a great uctor, but never before has ho
had such an opportunity to display his
histrionic qualities. In beautiful and
pitiable word pictures ho led tho thou
sands of men and women back to tho
Holy J-und. and enacted for thorn the
suffering and gladness of Barnbbas when
ho was in prison under sentence of
death, nnd when he was released and
found that Jesus Christ hud been chosen
to tako his place on tho Cross at Cal
vary. Tho lesson ot tho sermon wns Intended
to nrouso tho audience to an apprecia
tion of tho sacrldco Christ mado in dying
'for tho people's slriV.'
Sunday pictured the freed man leading
his little son, Stephen, with him to the
crucifixion at Cavalry, and said:
"I can see Barabbas standing thero with
tears streaming down his cheeks, as ho
looks upon tho Saviour with the blood
llowtng from Ills pierced hands nnd sldo.
And I can hear him say to the llttlo
chap, "Stephen, that man Is dying for
me. Ho Is taking my place and I am
free. Ho gave your father back to you.
I want you to remember Him, boy, and
I will try to be like Him.' "
Then tho evangelist brought t'no les
son homo to tho audience. He made ono
ot his most stirring nppeals for men to
come out and live for Christ and thereby
prove their appreciation of his sufferings
for them.
"Thero is no man here," ho shouted,
"who will not say wlt'n mo that Barab
bas would have been viler than tho vilest
If hn bad done otherwise thnn to give
bis llfo for the Master after what he
hnd seen Him do for himself."
Leaning far over the pulpit, pounding
it with all "his strength, and with per
spiration streaming down his face, Sun
day sent home his message.
"Listen to me," Ire yelled. "What
Christ did for Barabbas He did for you
and for me. Ho bled and died that wo
might have salvation and might never
die, hut Hvo in glory with the Father.

Former lteprosentatlvc A. Mitchell Pal

Tho respite was granted by President

Tho nctlon of Mr. Palmer at tho cloventh

quarters. Tho appeal on which Mr. rai
nier succeeded In having a respite granted

the White House.
"Thero was no political Influence

bchnlf of tho live men," snld Mr. Palmer
today.
"I did it for my friends. They wcro
men I wanted to please, and I would do
It again when the opportunity presented
Itself. Owing to tho proceedings in tho
United States Supremo Court becoming
complicated, t'no defendants cro de
prived of tho 30 days allowed by law
for tho return of tho mandate.
"Two days nfter tho Supreme Court
refused tho sccoiid nppeal tho mandate

Within a few days counsel for tho con
victed men will begin their legal light to

PROBLEM NOW OF U. S.
Consul Silliman and Duval
West Arranging Ways and
Means for City's Relief.
WASHINGTON, March 11. With tho
Immediate Mexican crisis relieved, at least
temporarily, the United States was en
deuvorlng today to get an adequate food
supply Into Mexico City. Hunger riots
have been feared, with resultant attacks
upon foreigners.
Consul Sl!llinan nt Vera Cruz and Duvnl
West at Mexico City aro conferring with
the authorities concerning ways and
means, and It Is hoped that by the last
of the week the food shortage will be re
lieved. Advices to tho State Department from
the Brazilian Minister and to the embas
sies today state that the situation shows
a decided Improvement.
The United States also has the positive
promise of Carranza and Villa that here
after they will make the protection of
foreigners one of their chief duties.
Therefore, even though Obregon evacu
ates Mexico City, as It is believed he will
have to do soon, there will be no massa
cres. Whllo no open rtiolce will be made be
tween the leaders of the factions, theie
Is not the slightest doubt that the moral
support ot this Government Is to be given
to Villa.
The latter already has shown himself to
be conciliatory and amenable to sugges
tion, while Carranza has at every point
endeavored to emphasize his hostility to
anything the United States desires.
Itepresentatlves of Villa have assured
the State Department that Villa Is
certain to win within SO days. This Gov
ernment has been assured that as soon
as the convention forces' take the Mex
ican capital, they will announce plants for
election of a President.

MEXICO CITY. March 11. General Al

THE WM. P. FRYE
This photograph of tho 4-mnsted grain bark William P. Prye, which
was sent to the bottom by the German auxiliary cruiser Prinz Eitcl
Friedrich now at Newport News, Vn., was tnken in Philadelphia
on January 28, 1913, by II. R. Leeds, of this city. For many years
tho Fryc was engaged in carrying sugar fronl Hawaii to this port.

years sho wns engaged In carrying sugar
from Hawaii to this city with her sister
ships, the Edward Scwall, Arthur Sowall
and Dlrlgo. Until Inst year tho voyage
was mado via Cape Horn. Tho opening
of tho Panama Canal seriously handi
capped tho squarcrlggcrs In competing
against steamships, whldh resulted In tho
sailing of the Fryo to England from
Senttlo. Her owners were contemplating
tho Installation of an auxiliary engine
so sho would bo able to use the canal
without having to pay prohibitory towing
charges.
GERMANY MUST PROVE
CONTRABAND OR PAY
Germany will have to prove that the
cargo of wheat on board the ship William
V. Frye was contraband or pay to tho
owners the full vnluo of the vessel and
cargo. This Is the opinion expressed to
day by John Frederlok Lewis, un inter
national law expert.
In discussing the subject Mr. Lewis
said: ...
"The Secretary of Stato should call
upon Germany to compensato the owners
of the ship and the cargo. Then It will
bo up to Oermany to prove that the wheat
was contraband. If It wns, tho captain
of tho Prinz Ditel Friedrich had a right
to do as he did. If it wus not, then Ger
mnnv must nny the full valuo to the
owners. It is not posslblo for tho owners
of tho vessels to (He a libel against the
converted cruUer, as sho Is not legally
within tho Jurisdiction of the courts."

TAKEN AT PHILA.
HARD BLOW FOR THAW;
"SANITY NOT ISSUE"
Court's Ruling Is Made After
Long Argument With Jury
Excluded.
NKW YOIIK. March 11. The question
whether Harry K. Thaw wns sano when
ho escaped from Matteawan In August,
1013, will not be permitted to como before
tho Jury which Is trying him on charges
of conspiracy growing out of his bolt for
freedom.
Justice Pugo today sustained the ob
jection of tho State when tho defense
nsked a witness whether Thaw was sane
at the time. A long nrgument followed
ns to the admissibility of this testimony.
Tho ruling was a bitter blow to the
defense, as It had planned to get tho
sanity Issue beforo tho Jury, in tho hope
of ultimately winning freedom for tho
slayer of Stanford White.
Tho question aroso in the cross-ex
amination of Bernard Kelsoy, of Cole
brook, N. It. The witness was cross
examined by Attorney Stnnchllcld.
"All during tho tlmo you talked with
Thaw and watched his movements, did
ho Impress you as being a. rational man?"
asked Thaw's counsel.
Deputy Attorney General Kennedy ob
jected, and Justice Page sent the Jury
out Qf tho room while he heard argument.
"Tiro State objects on the ground that
tho condition of TIiuw'b mind before, nt
tho time of and after his escapo is ir
relevant. Immaterial nnd not admissible
In this trial," said Kennedy.
"Then wo contend thnt Harry K.
Thaw," said Mr. Stanchflcld, "has the
right to show his condition of mind prior
to his escape and all during the tlmo that
this alleged conspiracy la said to have
been In operation. We contend that
Thaw's sanity Is pertinent to the Issue of
the trial, but we expect to disabuse tho
minds of the Jurors ns to whether or not
Thaw had criminal Intentions of evading
tho law by committing n criminal offense
when ho left Matteawan.
"Harry K. Thaw was sane and la sane
today and therefore had a right to leave
Mnttcawan; he left that Institution In
self-defense und further Incarceration
thero would tend to destroy his reason
and state of mind; falling to obtain his
release by legal means he had no crim
inal Intent when he left Matteawan, but
left pursuant to his legal right.
"Wo have Bhown that there were In
mates of Matteawan suffering from all
phases of Insanity and therefore the dic
tates of self-preservation required that
Thaw nbtaln his liberty,"
Justice Pago then ruled that evidence
of Thaw's mental condition was not per
tinent. The Jury was not brought back
and after Kelsey and a few unimportant
witnesses were heard, the Slate ended its
case at 13:21. Stanchdeld then moved
to dismiss the indictments against Thaw
and Attorney Levy made the same motion
In behalf of the co-defendants.
Justice Page denied the motions with
the exception of that for O'Kcefe, which
he granted.
Court then adjourned for recess.

HOME. March II.
Demonstrations on n scnle more clnb
orato than yet attempted aro being
planned Sunday by those who are trying
to coax tho Government Into war against
Austria. The directors of political par
ties who favor hostilities hope to make
Sunday's demonstration a crowning cli
max of ull their previous crforts. Thero
will be processions nnd thousands of (lags
displayed and thero will bo music and
patriotic speeches.
Keen interest is displayed In the Govern
ment's program for tho Immediate future.
The assembling of tho most powerful
warship squadron over brought togcthei
betokens action of somo kind. The Meet,
which Is made up entirely of dread

the Duke of the Abruzzi, whose flagship
Is the Conte dl Cavour. The other ves
sels In the I'squndron are tho Dante
Allghlcrl, Cald Dulllo, Gullo Ccsaro and
Leonardo da Vinci.
Thnt Gorman diplomacy has been suc
cessful In preventing Italy from Joining
the war on the side of tho Allies was a
belief that was strong today In certain
circles, A great deal of apprehension is
felt over the result of tho final negotia
tions, for it Is reasoned that no matter
which way the Government decides, u
considerable section of the population will
bo dissatisfied.
Xuo reports are In circulation, neither
of whlrri has .any confirmation. Accord
ing to one, Germany, having failed to per
suade tho Austrian Government to mako
territorial concessions to Italy, has'agreed
to remain neutral in the event of wrtr be
tween this country and, Austria. Accord
ing to the other report, Austria tins been
Induced by her Teutonic ally to concede
Trentlno and part of Istrla as far s the
Blver Isnndo to Italy.
The Impression Is growing stronger that
a final decision is Imminent, and the sup
porters of tho Teutonic cause aro Jubilant
In their predictions that "Italian-German
friendship Is safe."
