Metlhn of lllckulte Friends, at 1.1th and
Knee streets, today.
"Until a very few jears hro," said
Elttvood Koberts, of Norrlstown, "certain
Friends -were known to be so fond of
their dally glass that they fought nil
attempts of the meeting to aid the pro
hibition propaganda, and the mere men
tion of a moimcnt to stop liquor sell
ing acted on them Ilko a red rag to a
bull.
"I am hot making charges, but It la
Imply a well-known fact that Judges,
clergymen and lawyers In Montgomery
Qounty, who protess to no Friends, today
hold stock In one of the big browing
companies of that county. They are aid
lng the rum sellers to fasten their talons
tighter and tighter upon the public morals
and upon decency.
"Dcsplto the fort that the question
comes up here yearl about the signing of
applications for liquor licenses by Friends,
the practice still kocb on. These ntc not
real Friends who do these things, and t
fall to sec how the can reconcile their
professed objection to drinking with their
signing of these petitions."
Dr. Pusey Hcnld also denounced the
practice of signing liquor license applica
tions. "William O. Huey, for five years
president of the Board of Prison Inspec

Newspaper Torch Protects
Automobile on Tracks in Col-
lingswood.
An EvkNino Ledger used as a torch
aved an automobllo from destruction
when the occupants wero thrown on tho
tracks of the West Jersey nnd Seashore
Ttallroad as the car leaped an embank
ment on GrHnt avenue In Colllngswood
last night.
Tho automobile was occupied by Wil
liam F. Schoeffllng, a notary public, of
1370 Haddon nvenue, Camden, his wife
and two other members of tho family.
The machine was going along Grant avo
ntio at a fair rato of speed, but as tho
party nearcd tho ralhoad tracks Schoef
fllng's attention was distracted by con
versation and tho car plunged over tho
embankment. Fortunately the automo
bile did not turn upside down, and beyond
a slight shaking up none of the members
was Injured.
Then It was realized that an enst
bdund fast freight was due in five min
utes. While Schoeffllng was trying to
pull the car oft the tracks, J. Fred Cnr
penter and Edward nelly, of Colllngs--wood,
happened along. They realized
that the machine could not bo removed
from tho track In time to escape tho
train. Carpenter had an Evenino Lkdoeii
with him. He lighted It and gave It to
Bchoeffllng, who ran along tho tracks.
The torch had burned almost to his
fingers when the headlight of the speed
ing locomotive appeared and tho train
stopped within a few feet of tho Impro
vised signal.
"With the assistance of the crew of the
freight train the car quickly was re
moved. With the exception of Schoef
fllng the members of the automobile
party rode home In a trolley car.

to stand on.

butloiiR to both parties.
"You aro to disregard wholly," Justice
Andrews told the Jury, "tho Albany print
ing evidence, tho Hart-Agncw rating bill,
tho Hinmnn-Green primary hill, etc
"It bos been shown that Mr. Barnes
was Interested for or against those
mcasuics, but nothing has been offered tn
show ho wns In corrupt alliance with
Mr. Murphy, or In an nlllnnco of crooked
business with crooked politics, except the
testimony on the senatorial contest nnd
campaign fund evidence."

nections with Clint Ich F. Murphy and
Tnmmany Hall In any legislation, U'll
llam Uarnes at noon finished his direct
testimony in the J5O.000 libel suit Ho

"Billy" Sunday labernaclt here this after
noon to hear tho evangelist, who preached
his women-only sermon.
Tho rush at the tabernacle doors three
hours boforo the servlci wns scheduled!
to start was terrible. A ilorcn women
wero carried fainting Into tho emergency
hospital. Forty-flvo nurses wcVo scat
ttrcd through tho tobernaclo to care for
the 12,000 who crowded every Inch of sit
ting room on tho hard plno benches and
sprawled tnllortfoshlon In the sawdust
aisles.
So serious was tho crush that "Billy"
was summoned by telcphono to tho tab
ernacle threo-nunrtors of an hour before
the hour set for his sermon, and ho
opened up his attack on tho sins of so
ciety tho moment ho got Into tho place.
Torty reserve policemen meanwhile work

to keep back a crowd of SK) men who
would not be persuaded that It wasn't
their day and had come, somo of them
many miles, to oee tho evangelist In
action
Tho heat wns something awful. The
tarred roof of tho building oozed a black
stream and the dust from the sawdust
choked everybody. "Billy" was greeted
with cheers and a Bwlrl of handkerchiefs
when ho made his nppearnnco and snld
to the policemen, newspapermen nnd tho
few ushers, "Beat It, hoys, or we'll havo
you pinched."
Prepnrlng himself for his talk to tho
convicts at Sing Slug tomorrow morning,
"Billy" nnd "Ma" this morning atttended
a ses'lon of the Passaic County Court of
Spcclnl HcBsloni and sat upon tho bench
with Judge Abram Klenert. "Billy" was
shocked when tho Judgo sentenced Frank
Smith, 21 ears old, for from S to 17
cnrs becauso ho had stolon only J12H
from a storekeeper. "Ma" was prlnclpnllv
interested In tho rccltnl of tho domestic
