been any doubt about "Ullly'a" wlnnlnc
Paterson, Its gone, dispelled, dissolved
Into a faint mist; dissipated And other
things that happen to Ideas thnt don't
belong.
When tho 62-year-old erstwhile .baseball
player, who used to be tho fastest little
bancrunner In all the National league,
jumped Into tho tabcrnarie air last night
landed squarely upon his client, and slid
an old-fashioned alldo Into an Imaginary
home plate, this city rose to him.
"Billy" has won 1'aterson. Tho slldo
did If. When ho Jumped to his feet,
brushing tho dust from his nicely creased
trousers nnd called for trall-hltters, they
scampered down tho aisles to him and
he was happy. He grinned all over, from
his rollcd-up shirt sleeves to his col
larlesa neck.
"You surely ran go some for Uod, old
Patcrson!" ho exclaimed.
Ho was right, for GS7 hit tho trail yes
terday at the tabernacle, as he flung his
devil's boomerangs and dished up his
very hot cakes from tho griddle of his
baseball expcilencos and an 2103 dropped
In the collection plates, leaving loss than
$317 to bo collected beforo tho entire ex
penses of the North Jersey revival nrc
settled. Tho only damper of tho day camo
when Mies Francis Miller, preaching to
tho women of Paterson and 100 clrls from
Philadelphia, announced that, If Mr. and
Mrs. Weather did not cool off a bit, Mr.
Sunday would bo Inclined to pack his
'mink and wheel It wistwnrd ho to tho
; bungalow on Winona Lake, Ind. The
heat, said she, wan too much for "Billy."
i It was. Tho temperature at tho taber-
Jnaclo yesterdav, barring breozos, tnngoed
; about 02, whllo two score prospectlvo
! penitents were prostrated and carried out
' of tho sweltering building upon stretchers.
'Men, hundreds of them, lolled about in
'tho sawdust trying to get a little air be-
tween "Billy's" vehement whirls of tho
devil's boomerangs.
One hundred girls. K from Philadelphia
for tho dov, pumped "Billy's" own
brands of pepperlno, ginger and tabasco
Into tho revival, heretofore none too
hilarious. They got Into tho balcony of
tho 6th Regiment Armory nnd cheered
and shouted nnd parodied tho old
evangelical hymns In enthusiastic fashion.
They oven ran a llttlo experience meet
ing of their own. for the edification of
tho revlvally apathetic silk cltv. They
moved Patcrson lust as "Billy's" well
known boomerangs moved It. When they
left town, hundreds watched their street
cars trundling Into tho north Jersey
mist, and cheered them and their de
parting songs
Somewhere between this city nnd New
York tho song ceased and tho Philadel
phia girls, who hadn't been still for
something like 21 hours, got a little rest.
They needed it beforo going back behind
their Monday morning counters and type
writers and things.
j "Billy" was up bright and early today,
utterly oblivious of anything but his
xoffeo and tho fact that he was going
h-golflng. From tho innermost recess of
his wardrobe Jack Cardiff dug up a golf
ing suit that would have made un honest
Scotchman blush with envy. "Billy"
donned It and motored out to tho North
Jersey Country Club links, where ha
wrestled for several strenuous hours with
Colonel Bogey and other famous golfers.
"I feel," said he. "like making Colonel
-Bogey a very 111 gentleman Speaking of
people who aren't feeling right this morn

DETECTIVES' SLAYER
FACES COURT AGAIN
Smiles at His Sobbing Sister.
Voice Breaks When He Tells
Coroner His Age.
Jacob, alias "Doggie," Miller, confessed
slayer of Detcctlvo James Mnncclv aid
Detective Harrv Tucker, stood In tho
dock In tho Coroner's Court today and
heard tho details of tho death of tho
second victim of his automutlc revolver
without omotlon. After ho had been
formally Identified for th second tlmo
within a montli ns tho murdorer ho
glanced about tho crowded hearing room
nnd smiled as ho caught tho eyo of his
sister, Mary Miller, who was sobbing In
her scat. The young gunman will appear
beforo tho Grind Jury next Saturday,
which will bo IiIb 20th birthday annlvcr
ary. Tho only feeling betrayed by tho young
prisoner wob exhibited when ho was
asked his age. Ho had given his namo
in a firm voice. His hands, resting on tho
dock, were ns steady ns tho wood railing
h clasped. When the second question
came ho lost control of his emotions for
an instnnt. A shudder passed through his
slight frame.
I won't be 20 until next Snturdnv," ho
whispered in a volco bnrely audible to
tho two reserve policeman stationed at
his side. His reply had to be repeated
by the bluecoats for tho benefit of tho
court attendants. Tho former sailor then
gave his address at 507 Morris street.
A short tlmo beforo being brought to
the Coroner's court, tho young prisoner
had also carried himself through a pre
vious ordeal without llinching. Thin was
when he was nrralgned beforo Mnglstrnto
Beaton at Central Station. While tho
detectives were Identifying him, Miller
noticed the big reserve policeman on duty
at the entranco to tho City Hall pollco
court leave his station. The bluecoat
had bem eyeing him narrowly. Miller's
gazo failed to Mlnch, although ho. knew
tho policeman was Andrew Maneely,
brother of his first victim.
Young Miller was taken to tho Coro
ner's Court after being arraigned a short
tlmo previously before Magistrate Beaton
In Central Pollco Court. Hero ho was
Identified by Detective Adam Ulrlch, who
testified that ho had nrrested tho con
fessed murderer.
Tho proceedings were short and similar
to tho previous coroner's inquest Into the
death of Detective Maneely. Francis
Trucy lobin, nn attorney who has been
ictalned by tho young gunman' sister,
attempted to show that Tucker's death
wns duo to diphtheria. Jin nlo stated
that the ante-mortem identifications of
Tucker lind been forced from tho wound
ed detective and declared that Tuckor
had pointed out Miller as the slayer after
prompting by dotectlvcs who brought
him to the detectlvo's deathbed.
Dr. Frank E. McEvoy. of tho resident
staff of tho Episcopal Hospital, declared
on the stand that diphtheria had nothing
to do with the death of the detective.
Ho said he had succumbed to a bullet
wound. Tho shot, ho said, had paralyzed
Tucker from the third vertebra down and
lodged In the spinal column. Ono lung
had been punctured, ho said, which pro
vented tho doctors from attempting to
probe for the bullet.
Coroner's Physician William Wadsworth
also testified that the post-mortem ex
amination of the dead detective's body
showed conclusively that his death had
resulted from the bullet young Miller ad
mitting sending Into his captor's body
beforo killing Maneely.
Detectives Belshaw, Oscar Brown and
Olynleczak also testified.
The detectives gave short accounts of
tho crime. Tucker and Maneely, they
said, were shot on the evening of March
23. In nn alley near Trenton avenue and
Cambria street. Belshaw and Brown also
told of their assailant's subsequent cap
turn the next morning, and of his con
fession. After tho Inquest ho was hurried under
a strong guard to detcctlvo headquarters
nnd then returned to Moynmenslng
Prison. He told the police ho was glad
the ordeal was over. According to tho
detectives, the young prisoner appears to
be of the opinion that he will escape the
electric chair on account of his youth.
POLICE!
COURB
Music has Its charms In a police court
as well as anywhere else. This was very
evident today during the hearings at the
Trenton avenue and Dauphin street sta
tion. There was the usual sprinkling of
drunks and wife-beaters. They were
tired and gloomy and against the world
In general and regarded the police and
the Magistrate as common enemies. Such
was their condition of mind when the
soothing strains of "Then You'll Remem
ber Me" floated through the room. It
came from a new Vlctrola tn the ser
geants' room
The mumblings of the prisoners ceased,
and It was evident that the air had re
vived memories of other days. At that
moment the case of Jimmy Burns was
called. Ho was arrested while drunk by
Policeman Davis, near his home at Tren
ton avenue and York street,
Jimmy's wife Maggte appeared against
him. She said he was not a bad sort
when sober. His sober days were the
only days of happiness In the Burns
home, and, according to the wife, they
were few and far between. "I wish there
wasn't a drop of rum In the world," said
the woman, "then I'd know what It was
to live."
When Magistrate Mecleary said "three
months In the House of Correction."
Jimmy didn't even hear htm. He was
listening to the music. Even when the
cell door clanged, he gripped the Iron
rails and looked through. His wife
Maggie watched him from a distance.
As if divining her very thoughts, from
the Vlctrola suddenly burst forth the old
song, "When You and I Were Young,
Maggie." Jimmy's eyes grew moist. He
put his arms through the rails of the
cell door. His wife came forward and
clasped both hands. She would have no
doubt kissed him good-by were It not
for the Iron bars between him and happi
ness. "I wh you would put him la Jail for
vr" Mf Elizabeth Wonderlty glared at her

Hearts Now Beat ns
One,
Thanks to Spring.
Cupid pauses not at names, especially
In springtime, when his darts fly at
belter skelter nnd connect the hearts of
those with most complicated cognomens.
This was evident today at the Marriage
License Bureau, when Valtiekus Kruc
zas, of 107 Palethorp street, nnnounced
that he desired to wed Mariana Sutkalc
zlnte, of the samo address, and this was
merely the English translation of tho
name. In their nativo tongue, it is said,
ach name would be twice as long, but
Valtiekus and Mariana looked happy
notwithstanding the numerous letters,
and It Is highly probable, that they havo
on emphatic abbreviation when .they ad
dress each other.
After this combination It was a very
slmplo thing for Clerk Smith to handle
tho names of Charles Vandemuel
broucke, of 0127 Stenton avenue, and
Sarah C. Dovlln. of 3116 Kelm street.
Tho bride-to-be had not the slightest

It's been but a few days since he finished

JEAN ST. CYR AND BRIDE
BELIEVED TO BE IN CITY
Sister of Mrs. A. J. Drexel,
With Young Husband, Re
ported With Friends.
The widow of "Silent Jim" Smith, Just
married to Jean II. E. St, Cyr, of Nerv
York, Is said to be visiting friends In
this city today. Bhe and her husband
left White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., on
the 7 o'clock train last night. Mrs. St.
Cyr Is a sister of Mrs. Anthony J. Drexol,
of this city.
Mrs. St. Cyr Is the mother of tho
Duchess de VIzue, formerly Anita
Stewart. Her daughter Is older than
St Cyr, who Is 21 years old. The pres
ence of tho newly married pair In Phila
delphia becamo known today, although
effort! were made not to divulge It.
Mrs. St. Cyrs maiden namo was Anno
Armstrong. Sho was a daughter of Gen
eral John A. Armstrong, of Baltimore.
She was n belle In that city when she
married her first husband, William Rhlne
landcf Stewart, whom she later divorced.
Her fcocond husband was Smith, who has
since died.
For years Smith had nn unpretentious
office In Wall street. Ho was tho nephew
of George Smith, of London, who had
won a fortune of about $50,000,000 in real
estate speculation. In 1S39 the London
millionaire died, and "Silent Jim" Smith
became suddenly prominent
Various reports that his widow was to
mnrry have been heard since Smith's
death, but nil camo to naught. Tho en
gagement to St. Cyr wns short, and only
the most Intimate friends of tho pair
knew they were to bo married. They went
to Whlto Sulphur Springs a short time
ngo. When about to leave tho resort
Inst night they admitted that they had
been married quietly.

Continued from Pago One
Black appointed Mr. Hill. Ho did not
consult mo at all. I know nothing about
It nnd never heard of tho appointee. I
know nothing nbout tho appointee. I
thought tho appointment should be left
to me. Thero may be a question wheth
er tho appointment Is constitutional. I
would like to seo you nnd consult about
the appointment of Mr. Hill."
"Do you mean, Mr. Roosevelt, that
you wanted to consult Senator Piatt
about the appointment of a State Sen
ator?" demanded Barnum.
"I never appointed a State Senator In
my life," retorted the Colonel.
"My mlfltnke," Bainum said. "It was
n District Attorney in Erie County, not
a Senator or a "Judge."
"I do not remember."
"Rut you did want to consult the Scn-
ator?"
"I did," said tho Colonel. "I consulted
Senator Piatt on all matters on which ho
wanted to bo consulted where I thought
It right."
"You asked for n consultation with
Piatt on this appointment?" askd Bar
num. "The letter speaks for Itself," snapped
the witness.
Tho next letter was from Roosevelt to
Piatt on January 12, 1809, referring to the
pppolntment of a counsel.
"Lock nnd Mlllward refused to act,"
said the lotter. "I want to get men whose
names would be a guarantee of good
faith. I think I shall appoint McMaken.
but I am Inclined to think it will be an
vnwlse appointment. I havo seen Odell
and Root."
"What did that letter rofer to?" as.ked
Barnum.
"To tho Investigation of the canal de
partment," was the answer. "A commit
tee was appointed to Investigate the
c.mnls nnd I was looking for proper coun
sel." "Did you appoint McMacken?" asked
Barnum.
"I did not."
"Who were named?"
"Austin Fox and Wallace McFarland."
"And you consulted Piatt about that?"
"I did."
"Was It publicly known that you con
sulted the boss?"
"I suppose so." said noosevelt.
"Was that Invisible government?" aaked

$14,000,000 A YEAR
BIG PRICE CITY PAYS
FOR HEALTH NEGLECT
Professor Clyde L. King,
Addressing Social Work
ers, Declares Expendi
ture of Millions for
Health Would Be
Economy.
Philadelphia lossa an annual aggre
gate of 19,000,000 days a year through
Illness. A completo and thoroughgoing
program for health conservation would
save tho city In earning power from
$13,000,000 lo $11,000,000 annually.
Those statements In the address of Prof.
Clyde L. King, of the University of Penn
sylvania, Wharton School of Finance and
Commerce, at tho Monday Conforenco on
Legislation In the Curtis Building, today,
summarized his analysis of the city's
needs for Immediate progress toward bet
ter conditions In regard to the prevention
of disease and tho conservation of health.
The figures were quoted by Mr. King
from tho statistics of Assistant Director
Wilson, of tho city Department of Publlo
Health and Charities, who had estimated
tho Incapacity through Illness of Phlla
delphlanB at 11 days a 'year on a par
capita basis.
"To carry out this program," said Mr.
King, "will Involve nn Initial capital out
lay of 15.600,000, distributed among tuber
culosis hospitals and Institutions for con
tagious diseases, branch sewers and
municipal abattoirs.
"This In turn will nccessltato n gradual
Increase of tho health budget from $370,000
to $1,650,000. In order that wo may dis
tribute such sums as $300,000 to saving
babies; $100,000 to school nursing, $50,000
to medical Inspection of workehops, $600,-
000 to mnlntenanco of hospitals for com
munlcablo diseases; $30,000 to additional
food Inspection nnd $103,000 for housing
and sanitation.
"A second avenue for multiplying our
assets Is through Increasing tho vitality
of tho city earners by adequate recrea
tional facilities. Otto T. Mallery, presi
dent of tho City's Board of Recreation,
says that by 1933 at the present rate of
development Philadelphia may expect to
havo at least 15 large playgrounds so
scntercd over Its broad area that every
child and most adults may enjoy sane, ac
tive nnd accessible recreation, ns a
natural part of tho school or working
life. In addition, we are to expect about
50 smaller playgrounds.
"In arrests. In police protection. In
court procedure. In Juvenile detention
homes nnd In young women nnd young
men bankrupt physically and debauched
morally, tho taxpayers of American cit
ies aro dally rendering up their tribute
for the city's negligence In providing
adequate recreational facilities. This
tribute vastly exceeds tho sums that
would bo needed to provide proper recre
ational facilities.
"A third avenue through which the city
can develop Its assets Is through adequate
protection of Its earners through proper
sanltntlon. housing facilities, and by
adopting the essentials to a constructive
program for assuring minimum housing
costs.
"The housing problem is important to
100 per cent, of our population; to SO
per cent. It Is a menacing question, men
acing becauso It Is so closely related to
moral growth, to proximity or non-proximity
to employment and Inadequacy
family income after the rental costs
havo been paid."
UPSTATE COURT SUSTAINED
Administratrix Held Responsible for
Attorney's Peculations.
In an opinion handed clown today by
Justice Frazer. of the Supreme Court, the
Orphans' Court of Carbon County Is sus
tained In holding Helen V. Skeer, admin
istratrix of tho estate of her deceased
husband, responsible for embezzlements
committed by Garrett B. Ltnderman, son
of n former partner of tho woman's hus
band. The ruling of the lower court was
sustained on the ground that tho failure
of the defendant to demand nn account
ing of tho estate made her liable for the
misappropriation of a large part of the
estate, which was estimated to be worth
$S50.0C0
Mrs. Skeer Is the widow of Charles O,
Skeer. before his death a member of the
firm of Skeer & Llnderman, coal opera
tors. At the death of her husband, which
followed that of his partner, she gave
Robert P. Llnderman, a son of her hus
band's former partner, a power of at
torney. Ho failed to account for $126,731.43
of Mrs. Skeer's share of her husband's
estate. Mrs. Skeer, according to the
latest ruling of the higher court. Is held
responsible for $53,153.04 of the misappro
priated assets, $7500 having been furnished
by a surety company which bonded Lln
derman. YnTo Senior Vanishes

TELEMETER USED IN WAR
Finds Accurate Range "Within Yard
or Two for Gunners.
War has been brought to a fine art
nowadays. Years ago gunners had to
guess the distance of the object they
were firing at. but now the range h
found within a yard or two by an in
genious Instrument called a telemeter or
range-finder.
At each end of the horizontal tube li
a mirror which reflects the object which
is being observed to the centre of the
tube.
Of course, tho soldier getting the ranri
sees two pictures of the things hs is
looking at. Ono of the mirrors Is mov
able, however, and by turning a screw
tho two pictures are made to coincide
and look llko one.
The turning of the screw moves a little
pointer along a graduated scale. Whea
the two pictures seen through the tele
meter coincide. Its pointer shows the
exact distance of tho object In yards or
In kilometres.
