dering Mrs. Julia llellner, wife of n
wealthy corsot manufacturer of Brook
lyn, who was found murdorcd In her
homo at 217'' Albemarle road, Flatbush,
on Friday afternoon.
A pair of pearl earrings surrounded by
12 chip dlnmonds each, belonging to tho
dead woman, were pawned by Hanel In
this city within live hours of tho discov
ery of tho murder. It la believed that
tho man Is still In Philadelphia, probably
protected by somo of his pals In the Ten
derloin. The knowledgo that Hanel hnd cora
to Philadelphia was tlrst known yester
day when Abraham LlnBe, manager of
tho Now York Loan Company, at HJ
North 0th street, this city, notified the
police that Jowelry answering tho de
scription of that taken from tho dend
woman had been pawned at E o'clock on

els as thoso lorn from tho dead body.

this morning, but tho visiting detectives
remained here.
Joined by Detectives Gconnettl and
Isola, of this city, they are making a
thorough search of Chinatown. Although

Philadelphia society Is Interested today
In revived rumors that Mrs. Madeline
Force Astor, widow of Colonel John Jacob
Astor, Is engaged to marry Clarence II.
Mackay, president of tho Postal Tele
graph Company. Mrs. Astor Is now In
Washington with Mrs. Joseph E. Wldcner
of this city.
Mr. Mackay, who was divorced In Paris
In February, 19H, following tho airing of
troubles between' the Blake and Mackay
families, Is a member of the party of
friends accompanying Mrs. Astor and
Mrs. Wldencr. They will visit Richmond
and other points In tho South.
Mr. Mackay's divorced wlfo married Dr
Joseph A. Blake In Paris In November,
19U. Trouble between Doctor Ulako nnd
his wife enme to light In tho fall of 1913,
when Mis. Blake brought suit against
MrB. Mackny for U.000,000 for nllcnatlon
of hor husband's nftectlons. Later tho suit
was dropped, but sho obtained n divorce
from Doctor Blake. A mutual divorce
was granted to tho Mnckays aB a scquol
to tho Blake divorce, each charging de

tho Income from (5,000.000 nnd tho use of
the Astor mansion at 810 Bth avenue, Now

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.

SUNDAY WINS BUT 27
CONVERTS IN PASSAIC
Diligent Appeals Win Few in
Audience of 1200, in Fashion
able Church.
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. Edward Dawson, pastor of
the First neformod Church, at which the
meeting waa held, Introduced Sunday and
offered a prayer at tho opening of the
service.
