COUNCILMEX WAIT ON IN BIO PRIZE CONTEST Presidents Still Refuse to Name the "Lucky Twenty-four." Apprehension and whisperings pcrvndo tho Councils corridors and clerkii rooms in City Hall. Tho tension or the situa tion Increases dally, as bovles of Oiganlza tlon Councllmcn, for no stated reasons, haunt the corridors "Just to see how thlnga arc going." Tho tension Is duo entirely to the delay of Presidents Hansloy and McCurdy In naming tho "lucky 21" who will go to the' Panama-Pacific Bxposltlon with tho Liberty Bell, serving as tho excuse for free transportation nnd mcnls on the cross-continent Jaunt. Organization Coun cllmen arc now declaring that they are beginning to reallzo why tho bell that proclaimed liberty Is worthy of venera tion. The "lucky 21" will Include 12 Council men from each body named ostensibly to makn all arrangements for tho exclu sion. Their duties will not be extremely arduouB beforo the fatigue Incident to their train ride begins, becauso all ar rangements nre now being perfected by the clerks of Councils. Announcement has been mado that tho bell will go west by tho northern route and return by tho southern, giving pi- trlotlc Americans In all sections of the country a chance to obtain "Inspiration nnd edification" by a glimpse nt tho relic. Another Interpretation of the choice of routes by an opponent of tho Junket was that tho "lucky 24" were choosing routes In keeping with climatic conditions. The trip westward will bo mado In midsum mer, hence tho Northern route. Tho re turn will bo mndo In tho fall or winter, when, railroad folders declare, the South ern lines are especially delightful. Announcement of the 24 prizewinners probably will be mado within a few days, nnd tho ward strife and activities of re taliation by the disappointed contestants will be In full swing.

And the hairs were Are thusa, cat. Anyhow, that's the story as Jay Mai, the genial local press agent, told It, and no one ever accused a press agent of tell ing anything but the truth. All the freaks of the Barnum Ss Bailey circus are not found In the sideshow tents nor under the big canvas either for that matter. There's that magnetlo hound dog, for Instanoe. He's the favorite pet of young Dexter Fellows. Dex has white hair really and all that sort of thing, but no one Is really older than he feels, and, according to that consideration, Dex la still In his teens. Dex Is doing advance work just at present In Har risburg, so you can't see the magnetlo hound dog because wherever the veteran press agent goes the hound goes, too. But this hound is the real thing. All you have to do Is to say "Hokus Pokus Barnum and Bailey," and the magnetlo Instinct begins to work. His head points to the North Pole and his tall to the South, Just like that. "Dex" says he's Imaluable for polar exploration purposes and for the tack home late Saturday night.

Bit n SlajT Correspondent PATEIISON, N. J., April 28.-Although ho talked to n representative society audience In Pnssnlo this morning, "Billy" Sunday wasn't nt all pleased with the manner In which they receive 1 his message and responded to his Invita tion to give themselves to God. At his Invitation, 27 out of nn audience of 1200 came forward and took tho evangelist by the hand. It was with dlfllculty that he succeeded Tn getting even this compara tively small number to ncknowlcdgo themselves penitents When ho made tho player nt the close of the sermon, Sunday looked over tho well-dressed and well-fed audience, nnd said: "Who will ralo his hnnd nnd say 'I want to take Christ?' Como on down nnd give me your hand." Tho choir, a dozen young women, sang tho hMnn, "I Am Coming Homo." "Billy" pleaded with tho people to como forward. Aotlvo perFonnl work on the part of Trainer Jack Cardiff resulted In an old mnn coming forward The rest of the people seemed to hesi tate, nnd "Billy" cried impulsively, "Whnt good Is It to bo wenlthy without Ood' Why H It that you don't unnt to be Christians?" After about 10 minutes there wero 20 women, four girls and three men on the penitents' bench In the front row. Major Ueorsc N Segcr, of Passaic, was highly pleased with "Billy's" visit to his city, and. when asked IiIb opinion of tho evangelist, summed It up In two words, "absolutely sincere." Sunday's subject was the 23d Psalm, lie sold that the lack of moral Influence In the education of tho children today was the cnuso of there being so many criminals with tho dew of youth upon their brows. "You havo to go around to tho court house to llnd out who has tho most ro llgion, Instead of consulting Dun's or Hradstrcet's," he said. "Most people forget all about religion in theso modern times nnd God has to shake n shroud over their heads or back a hearse up to tho door beforo they real ize they aro so fnr away from the Lord." When a woman In the nudlonco I.iughod at one of "Billy's" remarks ho said, "You can go out If you don't like It, sister. Some people think that tho preacher should consult thorn on what he should Miv In the pulpit." Commenting on tho fact that some peo plo claim that heaven Is a state, ho said: "No, It Is not. If heaven wore a state, a good many bad peoplo would bo In a heaven of a state with their riches and a good many good peoplo would bo In a hell of a stato with their suffering and poverty." Tho Rev.
