PATERSON, N. J., April 10--Thls In
"Billy" Sunday's Mb tost day. It will
tattle, for the time being at least, the
burning question, "Can ho reach tha mill
workers anil undo tho work of the, I, W.
W. agitators?"
The. operatives who strike so often (Pat
erson's other namo In "tho strlko city")
aro going to bo at the tnbcrnaclo at to
day's two services. That Is, If "Billy"
enn draw (hem and get In his blows be
fore Tanncbaum, Larkln. Treska and
Lewis hit tho city next Tuesday to flKht
lilm,
The evangelist was out of bed bright
and early, keen for tho day's develop
ments. Just to show ho wan going to
fight with every ounce of strength he
lias, -ho nnnoitnced ho would preach two
of his hardest working sermons, "Gospel
Grenadiers" this afternoon nnd "Tho
Moral Leper" tonight.
10.000 THERE LAST NIGHT.
People today had to admit that "Billy"
was reaching tho people of North Jersey
and points East, Ilko little old New Yurli.
Tho Gotham trains were crowded with
straphangers after last night's sermon.
"Forces That Win," preached to n cheer
ing1, pennant-tossing, gatllng-gnn applaud
ing student crowd. The tabernacle whs
packed with 10,000 persons.
It was tho same sermon that meant riot
calls when "Billy" gave It In Philadel
phia, and ho gave It with the same vim
and dash that induced whole schools
there to "hit tho trail." He exhorted
the young men and women not to be
"mnts In character," and to "leavo
something behind them other than
epitaphs." He wanted them to put
"punch" Into their lives.
Paterson this morning Is flooded with
copies of a smeary, four-page paper,
which announces It Is "tho twin city
reporter," nnd bears a publication dnto
frcm Minneapolis. What It doesn't soy
about "Billy" Sunday doesn't matter
much he's a "graftpr" and about every
thing clso highly objectionable.
It brings charges against him, nnd snyn
It backs them with affidavits. It con
tains parallels from "Billy's" sermons
and tho addresses of "Hob" Ingersoll,
whom "Billy" slams Into every Vhniice ho
gets, calling Ingersoll tho "high priest
of Infidelity."
The Bhcet, It Is said, Is being circulated
by tho liquor Interests In this city of 437
saloons, many of which Sunday says ho's
going to put out of business. A campaign
committeeman today said: "Let 'em cir
culate the scurrilous thing. It does noth
ing but boost."

Court Attendants Guard Each

A new type of football, played with a
heavy mcdlclno ball, mado Its appearnnco

floor, west corridor, of City Hall. Tha
players aro tho Jurors In tho trial of
Henry Clay, former Director of Public
Bafctyi John R. Wiggins and Wlllard H.
Walls, contractors, accused of conspir
acy to cheat tho city by contract Jug-
Tho entire west corridor was turned
over to the Jurors late this afternoon
when all the offices had been closed.
Court attendants guarded each end to
timvent v tors from getting to tne jury,
and for two hours tho Bhouts of the men,
most of whom nro young, reverbcratcu
through tho hall.
Director Porter declared today that
Waltor S. Hopper, former chief clerk
under Clay, did not know what he was
talking about when ho Intimated that con
tracts and specifications wero never read
by the Director of tho Department of
Publlo Safety.
"I can say nothing of previous admin
istrations," said Director Porter, "but tho
chief clerk has nothing to do with de
termining who shall get contracts under
this administration. Ho has absolutely
no sav In the matter at all.
"Numorous small contrncts come to tho
Director's desk folded up for his signa
ture, but they arc all drawn to form by
tho City Solicitor nnd chocked up In va
rious ways to see that they are as they
should bo."
Director Porter corroborated Hopper In
tho latter's statement that thero should
bo an engineer In tho Deportment of Pub
lic Safety. He said he has held that opin
ion for some time. Under the old condi
tions the city nrchltect wns ho official
who Investigated specifications to see they
wore as they should be, the Director said.
Specifications are now checked up by the
chief of the Bureau of City Property.
Hopper, in his testimony yesterday re
lating to tho details In the Director's of
fice, made no direct reference to the pres
ent administration. Ho Intimated, how
ever, thnt procedure similar to that under
Clay still obtained.
The trial will be resumed Monday morn

"TOOTHLESS" BILL VETO
VICTORY FOR HOUSING
Continued from Tagc Ono
tho Blankcnburg administration were tho
real causes of Councils' determined op
position to tho enforcement of tho 1013
act. It was said, did more than anything
clso to Influence the Governor In'hls de
cision. Tho bitter nnalgnment of tho
Gransback bill by the delegation of prom
inent Phlladelphlans who nttended tho
hearing In the oxccutlvo offices nt Hiir
rlsburg on Thursday waa also an Impor
tant factor.
MANDAMUS STATUS UNCERTAIN.
Councils consistently refused to mnko
tho housing net of 1013 effective. In tho
nnnual budget for tho municipal depart
ments for 1014. tho year following tho
passage of tho act, no appropriation was
mado to tho Department of Health and
Charities for establishment of the now
Division of Housing and Sanitation. Con
sequently the organization of the division.
which had been partially effected by tho
appointment of John Mollter ns chief,
was disrupted.
Councils resisted all efforts In the courts
to compel appropriation of funds for tho
division. A peremptory mandamus Issued
by Court of .Common Picas to compel
Councils to make tho appropriations for
the division expired April 5.
The mandamus ordering Councils to
comply with the 1313 net was Issued by
Judge Mai tin. In Common Pleas Court,
January 21, nt tho Instance of the ntlor
neys for the advocates of the bill. At
tho expiration of the mandamus It waa
oxtended for 30 days upon tho petition of
John H. Fow.
On April 0, the d-ilc of tho expiration
of the mandamus nnd tho tlmo when
members of Councils would have been
liable to arrest on bench warrants from
Judge Mnrtln, n conference wns held be
tween Mr. Fow and Judgo Mnrtln, nnd It
wns decided to allow the maltvr to stand
until some nctlon wns taken in Hnrrls
burg on tho Gransbach bill.' What tho
status of tha mandamus now will bo Is
uncertain.
"TOOTHLESS" BILL'S CAREER.
The bill JUBt vetoed, together with n bill
specifically repoallng tho 1913 act, was In
troduced In the House on February 8. De
feated after a stormy session, the vote
was reconsidered and the bill sent back
to committee for amendment. As amended
It was passed as referred to the Senate
Committee op Municipal Affairs on March
22, nnd on the same day was reported out
and passed on first reading. On second
reading it waa passed on March 2J, and
finully on March 24. The HrUse concurred
In the amendments on Marsh ISi.
The bitter feeling which has followed
as a result of Council's failure to en
force tho 1013 act nnd tho divergence of
opinion as to the bust substitute measure,
were deplored by the Governor nnd at
the same time he urgently requested all
parties to unite and reach soma amicable
settlement of the differences.
LIQUOR IUNfi DECLARES
BOYCOTT ON OPPONENTS
Booze Association Opens Fight on
Business Enemies.
A boycott of all business men who have
lined up with Governor Brumbaugh on
the. local option fight has been begun
by the Retail Liquor Dealers' Associa
tion In Pennsylvania. Lists of business
men who have supported the Williams
local option bill have been prepared and
distributed among the H.000 or more re
tall liquor dealers.
The compilers of the list, however, dis
covered to their regret, yesterday, that
they had made some mistakes. A big
Philadelphia baking company, which was
the first to feel the effect of the boycott,
notified Nell Bonner, president of th
Liquor Dealers' Awclatlon, that It was
not In favor of the local option bill and
asked for an explanation of why GOO
saloonkeepers and licensed hotels here
should have stopped buying bread from It.
Mr. Bonner Immediately wrote a person
al apology to the firm and explained thai
a false rumor ha been responsible for
the boycott against It. The saloon men
today said they Intend to enforce the
boycott against department stores, hard
ware stores, grocery stores, butcher
shops and all business establishments
with which they trade.

QUAKERTOWN, Pa., April lO.-The
mystery which surrounds the shooting of
Alfred Gottschalk, who was seriously In
jured by n midnight Intruder in his home,
near Haycock Mountain, seven miles
northeast of Qunkertown, deepened this
morning, when It became evident that

belief that Harry Freesc, of Philadel

mit tho crime. Freeso was brought hero
last night by Detective A. R. Atkinson,
of Bucks County, who said today that
ho was not at all certain that Freeso

Ho says there wero a remarkably largo
number of opportunities for Individual
shooting, especially when tho lines of

"There tho Individual who was good at

to us tho reports received from other

Germans of Individual sharpshooters

Allies killed have met their death from
Individual rlflo fire, usually delivered by
marksmen separated from the' main line,

"It takes times of stress to drive truth
