TAYLOR TO LOSE NO TIME
i- Director Taylor today declared that no
time will tw lost In the prosecution of
ftbo work when the Department Is once
stuthorlzed by the proper authorities.
SPltns are ready so that bids can be in-
ffrlted and contracts awarded as soon as
iwe necessary lormamics nave Deen com
piled with. The only remaining step In
lithe preliminary procedure will be to ob-
ttlln a certificate of public convenience
Approving the work from tho Public Berv
ttceCommlsslon at Harrlsburg.
R, Bids have alreudy been Invited for tho
reconstruction and relocation of the sower
fin Buttonwood street, between 13th and
ilirond streets, and for that in Thompson
Pitreet, between 7th and Broad streets.
Th!s work Is preliminary to tho construc
Stlon of the Broad street subway. The
work on these projects is scheduled to
pegln on August 4.
' EXCAVATION NEARLY DONE.
The extensive excavation and construc
tion work In the central section of the
fclty on the sower relocation Is rapidly
t.!iarlng completion. The first spadeful of
fcearth was turned by Mayor Blankcnburg
fcen March 20, and since that tlmo the
LVork has been rushed toward completion
by each of the Ave contractors. Al
though S5 weeks was allowed In the con-
Tacts to complete tho work. It now seems
Ecertaln that nil the new sewers wll have
tKcn completed and all relocations maae
fieveral weeks before this period has
KJlapsed. The cost of this work is cov
ered by a (500,000 loan ordinance, passed
Ton January 21.
t Under an act of Assembly passed at
ithe last session, the city now may place
iiil its loan moneys Int oa general runa.
I Consequently there will be no necessity
Ffor borrowing any monoy under the
:JJ,WO,CO0 loan until next winter. Money
Show lying Idle can be used and later can
Pf replaced from the J6.000,ooo loan, 'mis
will mean a considerable saving In In
terest and sinking fund charges.

MILITANT EVANGELIST,
NOW IN SLANDER SUIT,
TO FIGHT DEVIL HERE
Stough, Who Strikes From
Shoulder, "Naming
Names' to Combat Sin
in Extreme Northwest
Section I'his Autumn.
Dr. Henry W. Stough, militant evan
gelist, nt present defendant In lite sensa
tional $80,000 dander suit of Director of
Public Safety William Cullen, of Hazlc
ton, Is coming to Philadelphia to hammer
sin, "booze" and the devil In a big tab- j
ernacle campaign next winter. He Is to i
come here through the co-operation of
about 2S churches) In Manayunk, Roxbor
ough, Upper RoxborouRh, Wlssahlckon
and Tails of Schuylkill. The probabilities
are that the tabernacle, with sawdust
"trails" and In every other respect like
tho "Billy" Sunday tabernacle, will bo
erected for the revival meetings In the j
central part of Roxborough.
Definite plans for the evangelistic cam
paign Mill be completed nt n mass-meeting
of churches of the 21t Ward and vicinity
In the Lovcrlngton Presbyterian Church,
Manayunk, Thursday evening. The move
ment to bring Doctor Stough here for a
tabernacle campaign was launched bv the
Intcrchurth Federation of tho 21st Ward
and vicinity, ond was carried out largely
by tho Religious Conditions Commltteo of
that organization. It Is under the au
spices of this commtttie that the mats
meeting Is to be held.
The evangelist has gtven assurance that
he will come, following several visits of
tho committee to Reading during Doctor
Stough's last campaign, previous to the
beginning of tho slandor suit In Haste
ton. Although tho time f6r the opening
of tho campaign has not been decided, It
Is probable that Doctor Stough will be
gin to lnmbast Satan and his allies In
this city In November, Immediately after
he closes his first campaign of the autumn
In Lebanon.
It Is expected that the churches will
vote to have tho tabernacle started early
In tho autumn and for Doctor Stough to
come In November.
A canvass of many of the pastors In the
21st Ward and those In Falls of the
Schuylkill by the Rev. W. B. Forney, pas
tor of tho Mount Vernon Baptist Church,
Manayunk, president of the Inter
church Federation, and the Rev. Isaac
Ward, of the Fourth Reformed Church,
Itoxborough, who Is chairman of the Re
ligious Conditions Committee, has given
assurance that almost every pastor of
tho churches ol six denominations In that
section of the city will co-operate In the
campaign. Tho denominations Included
nmong those expected to be represented
on the general commltteo are the Baptist,
Methodist Episcopal, Presbyterian, Re
formed, Congregational and Disciples of
Christ It Is the plan to have each co
operating church represented on the gen
eral committee by Its pastor and two
lai'men
The Religious Conditions Committee,
which went to Reading to urge Doctor
Stough to como to Philadelphia for a six
weeks' campaign, Is composed of the
Itev. Isaac Ward, Fourth Reformed
Church. Roxborough: tho Rev, Frank M,
Gray, Wlssahlckon Methodist Church; the
Rev. J. T. Hackett, Wlssahlckon rresDy
terlan Church; John W. Harmer, Mount
Vernon Baptist Church. Manayunk, and
Edwin Beaver, Loverlngton Presbyterian
Church.
In speaking of the proposed campaign,
the Rev. Mr. Forney Bald that It Is hoped
to have tho campaign In that section In
order to bring about a great local re
vival. The campaign of "Billy" Sunday,
he asserted, did much for the churches of
tho federation through arousing enthus
iasm among church members. This, he
said, resulted In unusual gains In the
memberships of the. men's Bible classes
and contributed to tho religious spirit In
the community. But, slpce the majority
of the citizens of the section were em
ployed so late In the afternoon that they
wero Enable to attend the Bunday taber
naclo meetings In the evenings, very few
of them wero reached by the baseball
evangelist.
STOUGH'S ADHERENTS THINK
HE "WILL LOSE NOW; WIN LATER
Bv a Btaff Correspondent
HAZLETON. Pa., Juno 29. Supporters
of Evangelist Henry W. Stough, defend
ant In a 130,000 slander suit Instituted by
William J. Cullen, Commissioner of Pub
lic Safety, admit today that a decision
against him probably will be found in
the present hearing. They believe his
vindication will come when, later, he is
given opportunity to show the strength of
his assertions before a Jury. Doctor
Staugh wished a trial before Jury Instead
of the present hearing under the compul
sory arbitration act of 1833.
The evangelist said today that prayer
meetings in his behalf, Inaugurated at
the opening session of the hearing yes
rdv. will be continued throughout his
trial during every hour the case Is being
heard. The services will be held In St.
Paul's Methodist Episcopal Church In this
city.
Announcement by the court that further
hearings would be held In Wllkes-Barre
Incensed adherents of Doctor Stough.
The decision was explained by the pub
lic demonstrations in Hazleton, which
made It Impossible, the court said, to
conduct the case properly here. This city
Is more deeply stirred by the trial than
nv other time In Its history.
Yesterday's hearing, stormy and excit
ing, was apparently favorable to the
Stough side.

HENRY W. STOUGH
NEW GARMENT STRffiE
PREDICTED BY LEADER
New York Organizers Urging
8000 Women to Fight for
Better Wages.
A struggle against working conditions
of women garment makers In this city has
started, and may culminate in a strlko af
fecting more than 8000 women and girls,
according to Abraham Sliver, of New
York, organizer for this district for the
International Ladles' Garment Workers
Union, Miss Rose Schnclderman, also of
Now York, has been sent here by the In
ternational Union to help Silver In or
ganizing tho garment workers. An ultima
tum, which will bo presented to certain
manufacturers before the opening of the
new season this fall, and a general walk
out of workers will follow a failure on
tho part of manufacturers to meet the
union's demands, according to labor
leaders
"Since the big strike six years ago,"
said Mr. Silver, "the organization hero
among garment ijvorkers haB becomo de
moralized, and manufacturers havo taken
advantage of the fact. Wages havo been
cut, old scales of prices havo been set
aside, and sanitary conditions In shops
have becomo deplorable."
Manufacturers generally here are dis
posed to treat the strike threats lightly.
They say the workers havo no legiti
mate complaints and are on the whole
better paid than New York workers.
"I do not see why our workers should
strike," said M. Relsenberg, manager for
Ecoto n Brothers. 7th ana Arcn streets.
"I think these agitations can always be
traced to a few girls, who fall to put In
the same number of hours or to apply
themselves as diligently as those around
them. Wages In Philadelphia are goner
ally 15 or 20 per cent, higher than tn New
York. There much of the work la done
by 'contractore,' while here makers deal
directly with their own help."

o'clock by a rendition of A. Goring
Thomas' "The Swan nnd the Skylark."
The most elaborate feature of tho eve
ning's entertainment was tho presenta
tion of Gounod's "Faust."
The soloists were Frank M. Conly,
basso: May Evert Hotz, soprano; Clara
Yocum Joyce, contralto, and Henry
Gurny, tenor. All nre professional
singers, nnd unlike the members of the
chorus, have no connection with tho

tivities of the chorus are managed by
Walter F. Lewis. '

PUTS CURE OF SALOON
EVILS UP TO JUDGES
Director Porter Says License
Court Could Better Condi
tions "With Stroke of Pen."
Saloon evils can be obviated by the
License Court It the Judges will take
advantage of the present opportunity to
work with the retail liquor dealers In
regulating the business, according to Di
rector Porter. In discussing the sub
ject today the Director told of the failure
of one of the license Judges to take the
word of a policeman on the witness stand.
He did not criticise the present License
Court, but declared that with one stroke
of tho pen Judges Staake and Patterson
could wipe out many evils. The Director
has decided not to hold a conference with
representatives of the local Retail Liquor
Dealers' Association as planned. In mak
ing this announcement Director Porter
said:
"Under the lnws of Pennsylvania, mat
ters pertaining to liquor licenses are
placed In control of the courts. In some
of the 'up-Stnto' counties the evils which
I understand the retail liquor dealers are
endeavoring to obviate have been for
some time satisfactorily handled and ad
justed by the courts, where they have
made rules relative to the hours of clos
ing cabaret shows, free lunch, size of
'growler,' Christmas presents and back
rooms.
"With the stroke of the pen, many of
these evils could bo at once wiped out.
and especially at this time when there
Is apparently a desire on the part of the
retail liquor dealers to meet public senti
ment and discontinue objectlonablo fea
tures." PORTER FINDS $390 ROLL
Station Employe, Who Is an Honest
Man, Returrs It to Owner.
Thomas Blake, porter In Broad Street
Station, Is an honest man. Moro than a
dozen commuters who passed through
the station and took a kick at a seem
ingly dirty roll of paper lack the power
of observation,
Blake's duty Is to see that the train
shed Is -opt clean. When he saw tho roll
of paper being kicked about ho picked It
up to throw In the waste. A second
glance sent him hurrying to the station
master's ofTlce. The battered roll con
tained $300 which had been lost by a
member of tho family of a Lansdowne
physician. Blake received a reward.
