Hklnny Muldoon. of the Gas House gang
Up In Richmond, has an appetite for
oysters which he can't resist. When he
has the appetite without the oysters. Its
up to him to get the latter, which be
does. Sometimes he doesn't have the
money to pay for the oysters, in such
cases he takes them In the whole shell.
The fact that they may be in a large
bag does, not bpther Skinny, .for h.e simply
puts the bag pn his shoulders and carries
the oysters away where he can eat In
peace,
AnU that's Just what he did. He was
q the midst of n open-air oyster supper,
using the curbstone' for a table and the
street for a, seat, -whin Sergeant pehmer
happened along as an uninvited guest.
Skinny saw. the sergeant but kept on
eatln?- Finally he Invited Dehmer to
have a few on the half shell.
"All rlsjit," eald the sergeant, "but
Wtt'll dine tn the station house,"
After Muldoon had piled up all the
shells, he. and hia bag were taken to the
Tton and Master streets station.
' pklnny admitted taking the bag from
seme oyster saloon, but truthfully de
clared that he didn't pause to ask the
proprietor bis name. He also forgot the
location of the place, and said that his
poor memory was due to overeating.
Magistrate Scott was very sorry for Mul
doon. ilt'a.too had you have to rpam
about eating oysters tbut way," he said,
-and after- such a least I think a little
pta(i) food will act as a good, contrast.

PRESBYfERtANS IN
REVOLT OVER PASTOR
Continued from rage One
church to suit himself for years," and
one member said "It Is a case of taxation
without representation,"
At the same time, persons opposed to
the pastor point out that he Is the clerk
of tho session, the superintendent of the
Sunday school and occupies the position
of control In all tho affairs of the church,
whlto other officials, who have gained In
the favor of some members nnd have
shown their hand In opposing him, have
been uuletly dropped from their positions
or power through the "diplomatic polltl
cal methods" of Mr. Hopper.
SOME MAY LEAVE CHURCH
Some of tho critics of Mr. Hopper said
today that they would leave West Park
Chin cli nnd Join Calvin Church If they
were not victorious In the annual meet
ing.
J. T. Plummer, an elder and trustee, is
said to bo the man whose re-election will
bo opposed tonight by followers of Mr.
Hopper. Ho Is one of the men in Mr.
Latta's Bible class who made nn effort to
have tho Hlble teacher retained to In
struct the clnss, and Is also said to have
favored the circulation of n petition
making such a request of Mr. Hopper.
Opponents of Mr. Hopper asserted that
the pastor was glnd to have this clianco
to get rid of Mr. Lnttn. becatw Mr.
Lalta had tried to act as peace-maker
last summer when a difference arose be
tween tho clergyman nnd several of tho
trustees because of Mr. Hopper's "Iron
hand" ruling, nnd tho trustees left the
church and united with another. They
say that a request of Mr. Hopper to
meet tho trustees In Mr. Latta's homo
was refused, and that Mr. Latta wns
given to understand by tho minister that
no assistance was needed from him In
tho matter. The election tonight will bo
for tho selection of four trustees and two
elders.
W. H. Trlol, nn older, will bo re-elected
without onnosltlon. It Is snlri: but Mr.
Plummer, whose term on tho board of
trustees nnd ns an elder expires. Is
not "slated" for re-election by the pastor,
some of his friends say. Whether or not
thero will bo opposition to any of the
other members of the board of trus
tees could not be learned. Thoso whose
term expires are Harry A. It tinge, George
v. micks, Jr., nnd Mr. Bonlc, a relative
of Mr. Hopper.
MAY ELECT LAYMAN.
Some of tho opponents of tho pastor
snld that an effort might bo mndo to elect
a layman as superintendent of the Sun
day School In place of the pastor. Francis
MacDugall may be nominated for the
position, but It Is not thought he would
nccept, ns he Is anxious to see friction
disappear. He had been president of the
Brotherhood until a short time ago, and,
In ordor to help bring about ponce, It Is
said, resigned that olllcc. He is one of
tho elders, but his term nf ofllce does not
oxplre this year.
W. C. Donnelley, another elder In the
church. Is one of the men who wns
anxious to havo Mr. Latta return ns
teacher of tho Blblo clnss, nnd, It Is said,
ho will work with Mr. Plummer and
other opponents of Mr. Hopper In trying
to prevent the pastor from electing his
ticket.
The Blblo class recently organized Is
composed of nbout 100 men nnd Is to be
anillated with the Drexcl-Blddlo Classes.
Since tho Sunday campaign started Mr.
Hopper bus received 182 new members In
to tho church, largely through the re
vival and the personal work of the men
In the Bible class.

Amateur cracksmen who, early today

The yeggmen scatered about J3000 worth

but the thieves were unable to open them.
One of the safes the men failed to open

PHILS OPEN BRA VES'
SEASON IN BOSTON
Contlnned from Pane One
friends here as well as up the State, In
the little city of Fitchburg, where Pntrl
clus hns always made his home. Fitch
burg folk nro ever anxious to do homage
to thoso of their number who attain
promlnenco nnd a big delegntlon enme
down to root for Moran and for his Phil
lies. They had seats near the Philadel
phia bench, nnd before the game started
Moran held a flvc-mlnute reception shak
ing hands with his mid-winter pals.
Another rensou for the Phillies' pop
ularity here this year Is the presence
upon the tenm of two of those who help
ed the Braves In their sensational career
of laBt year George Whltted and Oscar
Dugey. Both were big local favorites
and ench received n warm hand many
times during tho practice.
Chatting with tho Evenino Lrdoku
correspondent before tho game Whltted
said: "I wasn't crazy to quit a world's
ohamplonshlp tenm last winter; no one
would be. 1 guess. But I wnnt to say my
new team Is a mighty lively ball club and
it looks mighty good to me. I had heard
a lot nbout lack of discipline on this
team, but I can say I have never found
any. And there's Just as much Inside
stuff here as there was on tho Braves.
The way Moron does things reminds mo
of Stallings, time nnd time again."
But to return to the high spots con
nected with the afternoon's opening.
His Honor Mayor Curlcy was on hand
In one of tho front boxes to throw out
the first bnll. But before that came the
two teams marched out to deep centre
field In Just the same ragged fashion that
ball players usually march and there un
furled to the breezes a brund new Ameri
can flag. Messrs. Mornn nnd Kvers fur
nished most of the elbow grease In get
ting the flag to the top of the C0-foot
flngstaff. Then everybody was photo
graphed and tho march back to home
Plate was resumed to the martini strains
from the 9th Regimental Band.
The game started nt 3 o'clock, under
an absolutely ilecklcss eky and with the
thermometer hanging around the 80
degree notch, making the day passably
comfortable, although topcoats were far
4from an annoyance. Dick Rudolph, tho
double hero of the last world's series,
will pitch for Boston, with Grover Cleve
land Alexander, always a mystery to the
Braves, ax he Is to the six other clubs,
In tho box for tho Phillies. Warming up
for the Braves were Rudolph and Hughes,
for neither Tyler nor James Is likely to
start In the present series. Demaree and
Mayer were nlso busy in the Phillies'
bull pen when the rlvnl captains con
ferred with the umpires regarding ground
ruled a few minutes before the appointed
hour for the opening of hostilities.

IN FIRST GAME HERE
Continued from I'nee One.
of good ash ngalnHt good horsehlde nnd
the turnstiles began to click. Then tho
band yes, it was Kendall's First Regi
ment began to piny. Tho first players
on the Hold were two Boston men, so
muffled up In big ted s eaters that tho
Bporllng writers could not recognize them.
Shortly nfter 1 o'clock nearly all the
Boston players were on the Held.
Murphy, Walsh. McAvoy and Uurry
were llrst of the Atlilctk'B to appear, all
dolled up, so to speak, In now uniforms
of a wondrous whiteness. Everything
save the nld steel nnd concrete stands
looked new. On them wore much of the
dust that has accumulated since last fall.
But the grass In the Held was in mid
season form. Nothing else Wns summery,
however. Fans who elected to sit In tho
bleachers were fairly comfortable be
cause they got the sun, hut In the cov
ered stands a cold wind made them
shiver and turn up collars.
The news that .1. Franklin Baker was
in the park rapidly sicd among the curly
arrivals and there were many calls for
tho home run king to "cut out farming
nnd enme on back here where you ought
to be "
Fnndom bore a self-conscious look be
fore tho nctual opening of the game to
day. Borne one has Intimated1 there Is
less enthusiasm this year over the open
ing of the season than In former years,
but the real explanation seems to be
that the fans realized they were on pa
rade today. Everybody tried to act dig
nified and unconcerned, as though big
league openings happened every day, but
the lure of the game upset the placidity
of nearly everybody before long. And nn
Idea of how false was this early com
posure may be gained from the knowl
edge that dycd-ln-the-wool fans began to
nrrlvo at Shlbe Park as early as 11 o'clock
this morning. Some lined up against
tho walls and others sat on benches In
the square opposite the ball park.
American putlonce was again proved
during tho ceremonies of n highly cere
monial nature that always precede the
start of tho season's llrst game. Some
fans, whoso solo desire was to see the
game start, oven professed to take an
Interest In tho festivities.
It wouldn't bo fair not to mention the
hard-working photographers. The camera
czars got out on the field early In groups
and bunches nnd ordered everybody
around, even making the hand lender pose
for a picture, which ho did without any
moro argument than any other band
leader would have put up.

PATUliflo.V. K. J.. April H.-"Bllly"
Sunday received a cablegram today beg
ging him to go to Enginnu to icon mo
prohibition campaign backed by King
Oeorge, Lord Kitchener nnd David Lloyd
Jeorge. The message was signed by Sir
Henry Etlwnrd Handall, director of the
movement to oust drinking among" the
worklngmen, particularly thoso manu
facturing munitions of wnr.
I don't believe the King would ask
me, do you?"
As he asked this, "nilly" Sunday Mood
In the bathroom of his "house of 100
windows," n razor In one hand, slippers
on his feet, laughing somewhere Inside
tho pnjanio coat ho was wearing. If It
hndn't been for tho razor ho would have
looked Just like a big, lovable, freckle
fnced youngster. Ho talked as naturally
about tho supremo honor of his life, his
Invltntlon to lead tho prohibition forces
of Great Britain In tho movement backed
by King Ocorgo, Lord Kitchener and
David f.loyd-Oeorgo. as though he wero
talking about tho days when ho courted
'Nell Thompson.
TRIUMPH OF HIS 1.1 PK.
Ho didn't like to sny he wouldn't accept
the Invitation cabled to him today by Sir
Henry Arthur Handall. director of tho
business men's prohibition campaign.
"It might bo put to me In such a way
that I couldn't very well rcfUBC," said
"Hilly." "Anyway, 1 was never so flat
tered, so honored, so plain tickled over
anything before In my life."
Ho rolled one sloevo of tho pttjamn
coot and studied the muscles hardened
by years of work on the baseball dln
mond. He wns looking at "Billy" Sun
day, as "Dllly" Sunday would look hand
ing hot Jolts to Leicester Squnrc.
BNCJLAND MIGHT NOT UNDERSTAND
"Now there'B tho question of my meth
ods and my vocabulary." he said. "I
preach In tho language of tho fellow of
America's streets. I'd have to chango
all of my 'saloons' to "public houses.' I'd
havo to recast almost everything I sny."
He took another squint Into the dis
tance nnd continued:
"As I understand It, they'd want mo to
tour England with my 'booze' scrmoTt.
That's It. Well, now, I'm not exactly n
temperance lecturer, although (he chuc
kled again), I do mako n few remarks
on the liquor business. But I've never
done anything with temperance nsldo
from evangelism and I don't know ns
I'd want to or could, for that matter.
I'm not a temperance lecturer like Goff
and Murphy were."
Ho went on to say that ho didn't know
exactly what effect speaking only once
or twice In conservative English cities
would have. He counted In this country
on the cumulative effect of the campaign.
MANY DON'T LIKE HIM AT FIRST.
"Many a fellow doesn't liko me the Hrst
time he hears me, nnd I don't do him nny
good," ho said. "But that fellow gets t.j
be my best friend Inside n week. Isn't
that so?" and he turned to the Philadel
phia newspaper men who were Kitting
on tho edge of the bathtub.
"That's so," said one of them, dodging
"Billy's" good left arm (the razor was
In his right). "Well, do you think you'll
go to England and chum up with thoso
lords and kings nnd sirs and things and
tell Piccadilly what alls It?"
"I wouldn't llkp to say I wouldn't" he
said, "but my first duty Is to America.
There are 500 saloons to be put out of
business right here In Pnterson: still. It
might be put to me by those Englishmen
in suc'i a way I couldn't refuse them.
"The Lord works in ways that are
strange to uh sometimes," ho went on.
Thnt's what, "Ma" said Just before the
newspaper men called on "Billy." "Ma,"
you know, really runs 'Billy" and the
rest of the evangelists. She said that
"Billy" needed a rest more than any
thing else, and he was surely going to
get that rest out nn Hood niver. Ore.,
nfter closing up in Pnterson.
The news that "Billy" had been asked
to oust the booze business In England
