J., April K.-If thero'a 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 ing, the devil Is very 111. we 11 hava him ln the hospital by tho Fourth of July if we keep on drhlng at the clip we're going now.

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 feu-uj4.

Defiance of police authority nnd the threat that he would ' get" any police man who would arrest him, slnco he was ono of the Jurors who freed Henry Clay, former Director of Publlo Safety, lost week, brought Morris Johnson, 29 years old, of 2505 lillsworth street, a sentence of flvo days In prison from Magistrate Hrlggs lit the 20th and Federal streets po lio Ftnllon this morning. Johnson wns nrrested late last night by Sttcat Sergeant Moyer at 25th nnd Annln streots, after ho had threatened Policeman Pence, who was about 'o nr rest Frank Morilson. U years old, 2738 Federal street, on a charge of disorderly conduct. According to tho police, both men were standing at 25th and Annln Btrcets drinking. When omccr Pcnco ordered them to move on, Morrison toro the pollcomnn's bndgo from his coat nnd began using nbuslvo language. Johnson advised Mor rison to submit to arrest, declaring "I nn. one of tho Jurors who freed Cloy nnd 1 can get you out." Street Sergennt Meyer, attracted by tho scuffle, arrived at this time and arrested Johnson on tho charge of Interfering with nn nfllcer. Later Johnson threatened him, ho raid. Both men were sentenced to flvo days In Jail by Magistrate Brlggs BASEBALL PEACE OR RUIN OF SPORT Continued from Fnjtn One communicated with Phil Ball, owner of tho St. Louis Federal League Club, and Kobert Lo Hedges, owner of tho St Louis Federals, whose attorney he has been for years. Hedges nnd Ball Imme diately left for Chicago, with tho latter"s attorney, nnd held a consultation with President Ban Johnson, of tho American League. Immediately after thn meeting W. E. Bobertson, of Bulfalo, wns called on tho long dlstnnco telephone, while It. B. Ward, tho money man of tho new league, was sumoned to Chicago. It l understood that the Federal Leagu Is to glvo up Its clubs In Chicago and SL Lnntfl. wtih Phil Ftnll huvlnir n Inrcn lilnrk 0f stock In tho St. Louis Cardinals, while cnarics weegnmnn is to no tne power in tho National League In Chicago, with lh Taft Interests In tho background. The lat ter club will bo moved to the new Federal League park on tho North Side, despite statements from Charley Murphy that the Cubs must play on tho West Side as long as they are Indebted to him. Three major leagues will still be main tained. Two other cities whero but one major league club is locnted at present will bo Included in the third league cir cuit. Several cities nro available, but It Is likely that Cincinnati nnd Detroit will bo tho cities to replace St. Louis nnd Chi cago. In this way every major league city will bo represented bv two clubs with the exception of Washington, while con flicting dntes will also bo avoided In Buf falo, Newark and Kansas City. Ban Johnson hao been conducting tho American Lenguo's end of tho peace par ley, and Is said nlrcady to havo signed nn pgreement. Tho National League's rep resentative Is unknown, but it Is gener ally believed thnt President Tener nnd the other member of tho National Com mission, Chairman Garry Herrmann, nro both in close touch with tho nffnlrs nnd have agreed to sign for the commission nnd National League when Johnson and Gllmore havo completed arrangements. KRUCZAS- -SUTKAICZINTE Their 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 difficulty In pronouncing tho name of her sweetheart and as both are happy, what's the difference? Preacher Away, Wife Fills Pulpit PITTSFIELD. Mass. April 26.

"He's not out of tho Correction until he's In again," said the woman, "so what's tho use of him being out at all. It's been but a few days since he finished hl6 last term in Jail. He won't work, and he Just lives to drink, so what good Is he to any one?" August, who was arrested near his home at 34th and Napa streets, remained painfully silent. Then thn Magistrate spoke: "What do you Intend to do with your self?" he asked. "I wuz goln' to go to work at the du Pont Powder Works next week," said A u srm t. "You're hair-shot now," said the Judge, "so you better keep away from powder." "He's always going to do something, but he never does It," declared Mrs. Won derly. "You'd better send him right back, for we can get along better without him." The prisoner was thinking up another excuse but before he could utter It the Magistrate sent him to the Housa nt Correction for a year. Hair Falling?

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.

"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.

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."
