SUNDAY DISCOURAGED
AT LACK OF CONVERTS
AFTER STRONG SERMON
Evangelist Shows Keen
Disappointment, at Small
Number of "Trail Hit
ters" Following Powerful
Discourse in Paterson.
PETERSON". N'. .1., April 21. Tho pc
tlco' today arc Investigating tho burning
of Turn Hall, temple of anarchy, which
was destroyed by flro following tho an
archist meeting thcro Monday night, at
which Emma Goldman, Benjamin licit
man and Carol Tresea denounced "Hilly"
Sunday nnd Christianity.
Tho police are not so sure that the
flro was not of Incendiary origin, al
though It Is generally believed that tho
fire wa3 duo to some one oniefcssly drop
ping a lighted cigarette.
It Is possible, tho anarchist leaders of
IVlSru Nuovo group here say. Hint Kmnia
may come hack for further meetings of
protest against Sunday, who. she says,
Is in Paterson to stifle tho economic con
science of the working class. But If sho
does como she will have a haid time
finding a hall In which to speak.
That Turn Hall's destruction wan due
to other than human ngeney Is a super
stition persisting In the minds of hun
dreds of tho city's people. Nobody would
dare rent Kmma Goldman a hall after
that evidence of God's wrath, they say.
It Is doubtful whether the police would
permit another anarchist meeting whllo
tho Sunday campaign Is In progress.
If "Billy" Sunday came hero to put
Paterson's 497 saloons (tho city has one
saloon to nearly every 250 persons) out of
business, he Isn't succeeding yet. The
Aldermen hive granted many new
licenses nnd renewed prnctlcnlly every
cppllcatlon, despite protests and evidence
produced hv detectives. However, George
Arnold, president oi me campaii.ii tum
mlttee. today said:
"Before we get through we will slice
the number of rum holes In half."
"Billy" was up early this morning, but
he wasn't in what you'd call an excep
tionally fine humor, and tho reason was
apparent. "Ma" was away, far out in
Winona Lake, with "Billy," Jr.. nnd little
Paul Sunday. "Billy," Sr., was discour
aged because one of his verv powerful
sermons, delivered last night, "God Com
mands All Men' to Itcpent," had brought
only 137 converts down the sawdust trail.
That was tho smallest number of con
verts at nny one service since the cam
paign opened, nnd "Billy" did not like
It. He worked very hard to begin a
stampede of "trail hitting." but It was
of no earthly or heavenly use. The "trnll
hitters" lust wouldn't come, so he slipped
on his coat and went homo and to bed to
see If he couldn't rest up a little and get
back the "punch" he used to have in
Philadelphia, and which, even he himself
admits, ho hasn't had In Paterson.
"Billy" preaches two famous sermons
today, "Let Your Light Shine," this aft
ernoon; and "I Find No Fault With
Him." tonight. One thing that pleases
the Campaign Committee Is that tho col
lections will stop before tho week U over.
The tabernacle was paid for by Sunday.
Yesterday's offerings totaled JIMS, leav
ing only $6013 to be collected before tho
entire campaign budget of U'2.000 li
realized.
TALE OF LOOTING LOGAN
UNCOVERS STOLEN GOODS
Nearly $3000 Worth of Property
Awaits Identification by Owners
Further confessions of house-breaking
were made to tho police today by Treston
Yates, 2001 North Park avenue, who was
arrested yesterday on charges of commit
ting a long series of robberies In I "gan
during tho winter. In an automobile
with Acting Detectives Mellon and Blch
ardson he made a trip through the dls
trlct he pillaged and pointed out four
more houses that he had robbed. These
were the homes of Frank Medlnger, 63-1
Sgonti avenue; Arthur Mills 60th ave
nue near 13th street! nichard Gelker, 4233
North Mine street, and Herman Kiel,
man. S08 Northeast boulevard.
t each of these places his confession
of having stolen money and Jewelry was
verified by the police, to whom he ex
plained his method. He would select a
darkened house, he said, and after ring
ing the belt to make sure nobody was at
ome. he would go to the rear ami force
a window. Loot to tho value of J700 was
Jinearthed by the police today on liiforma
tion furnished by Yates. This, with J0n0

Tho love of a mother for her beautiful
3-year-old baby went for nothing today,
when the little girl's welfare wns en
trusted by n court rieelslon to another
appealing woman who had cared for the
child almost since her birth. Vice Chan

And the average person

This being the case,

IN FATE OF A MAN
FOUND IN SUBWAY
Body Discovered on Read
ing Railway Track at
10th Street, Near Hamil
tonBruise on Head
Arouses Suspicion.
A man was found dead early today In
tho Philadelphia nnd Heading Subway
at l!Uh sliect below Hnmllton, nnd n
mark on his head leads the dcteetlvcs
working on the case to believe that he
may lime been murdered. There wns a
single blue mark across the dead man's
forehead, ns though he IihiI been struck
with some blunt Instrument. His skull
wan fractured.
Papers found in tho clothing Indicate
that the dead man was Patrick Kennedy,
of 1101 King street, Wilmington, Del. The
tiody whs discovered at t:30 o'clock by
Ynrilmnstcr Horace K. Law, of 203 Reek
sticet, Nnrristown. Ho notified Pollcc
innii John W. O'Connor, who sent the
body to the Gurrctson Hospital, rhysl
t'tutts said the man had been dead some
time.
IJIstrlct Detective Emmet Hammond and
Detective Jnnies O'llara were detailed
to the case. They say there arc three
Ihcoiles of how the man met his death.
He might have Jumped from the 10th
Btrect bridge, a drop of 4.1 feet to the
tracks, or he might have fallen from a
freight train. The third possibility, and
tile one on which detectives aro work
ing, is thnt ho was murdered.
The only weak point in this theory Is
that evlden'tly no effort was made to rob
; the man. A cheap watch was found In
his pockets, with $1.43 In cash and a bank
book nnd some letters. The man was
about oil years old. Ho wore a dark
striped 'suit and a hlnek hat. Tho Wil
mington police have been notified.

Director, After Visit to
Harrisburg, Reports Re
moval of Obstacles to
Consummation of Great
Transportation Program.
Transit Director A. Mcrrltt Taylor, who
spent yesterday In Hnrrlshurg looking
over legislation affecting trnnslt con
ditions here, said this morn
ing that the legislative path
Is now elo.irci) of all obsta
cles and thnt there will be
no legislation passed antag-
rT-AN onlstle to the compichenslve
- l.nn.l, rm-r,t.. millln.l 1.1
his department.
A number of hills directly and Indirect
ly affecting transit have been Introduced
In tho House recently. Director Taylor
said he has received assurance from the
legislative leaders thnt none of these
which nrc designed to obstruct rapid
transit for Philadelphia would bo passed.
The Dliector was particularly sanguine
of the success of the constitutional
amendment reported from committee hy
Senntor Vare. Increasing the horrowlng
capacity of Philadelphia from 7 to 10 per
cent . the money to be used In transit
development.
Among thosfl with whom Director
Taylor conferred were Senators McNIchol
and Vnre and Representative Money.
nefore leaving harrisburg last night tho
dliector mint the following statement:
"I am assured that thero will be no
legislation enacted nt this session which
will be antagonistic to tho general plan
of the transit Improvements which has
been mapped out by our department for
Philadelphia. I brought with mo n list
of bills to which objections should be
raised, and have been told bv Senators
.McNIchol and Vare nnd Ueprcsentatlve
Honey and others that any amendments
that will eliminate their application to
Philadelphia or which ulll protect our
plans for transit development will be sup
ported und passed. These amendments
havo been prepared and, I am advised,
will be Inserted In tile various bills."
The Vlckcrman public service bill which
passed third reading In the House yes
terday, the Director said, would certainly
be killed In the Senate, and, therefore,
could do tho transit plans no Injurv. The
Vlckcrman bill would take the control of
all municipal public utilities from the
hands of the Public Service Commission,
leaving this control in the hands of Coun
cils. This would mean that Councils would
be enabled to Jam through the Rhawn
street extension or any other modification
of the Taylor plan without having to
submit it for ratification to the Public
Service Hoard.
Tho Krnnkford Business Men and
Taxpayers' Association, at its 17th an
nual banquet last night In Assembly
Hall, Krankford, went on record as
favoring the rthawn street extension. It
was declared that this extension would
open up a practically barren section of
