HE DID NOT 'HIT TRAIL'
Shook Evangelist's Hand to
Thank Him for Compliments
Paid to City, Not as Convert
TltRNTON, Jnn. IS. Mayor Frederick
W. Donnelly, has been so greatly dis
turbed by reportH that he had "hit tho
trail" In tho "Wily" Sunday tabcrnaclo
on Sunday nftetnoon. that he has Issued
n public stntcincnt denying that he had
any Idea that by shaking the evangelist's
hand at the close of the sermon he would
bo listed nH n "trail hitter."
"As Trenton's Mayor I was greatly
pleased wlln the unequivocal encomium
paid by Mr. Sunday to my home town.
When ho stretched his hand towards mo
after the scimon, I felt that the occasion
was propitious for mo to thank the evan

and nt the snmo tlmo shook his hand
as n manifestation of my appreciation,
without the least Intention of 'hitting

"I wish to frankly stnto that, ulthough
I realize that Mr. Sunday Is tendering an

GRIP GLOOM DEEPENS,
FOR EXPERTS DECLARE
WORST IS YET TO COME
Hope, Even Long-Deferred, Nqw
Shattered With Statement
That Cold Will Tend to
Spi'ead Epidemic
U. S. SURGEON'S OPINION
Is It tho worst yet to come?
Is It true that the long-hoped-for cold
spell, which had been heralded through
out tho nation as tho one boon to a nation
suffering from tlio grip, Is, as a remedy,
worse than the disease.
These aie tlio iiuestloiis which natural
ly arise now that no lesi authorities than
Dr. W. C. Tluckcr. assistant surgeon
general of tho Culled States Public
Health Keivke. Washington, and Dr.
Hownrd S. Anders, usslstant profe.ssor of
physical diagnosis of tho Medlco
Chlrurglcal College, this city, assert that
there Is no hopo of breaking the epidemic
with the present cold snap.
"This weather Is the worst thing Im
aginable with things as they now are."
said Doctor Itucker today at the national
capital. "People will huddlo Indoors,
sneezing together, nnd tho result will be
that the epidemic will spread.
"Our reports already show an Increase,
and besides, the epidemic is spreading to
the smaller communities. Hitherto It had
been largely confined to the congested
districts the largo cities. No relief Is In
sight."
lly their statements a gloom is sent to
a long-suffering people. Incidentally, the
men also nro knocking "galley west" the
moss-grown tradition that clear, cold
weather is an infallible cure for grip.
Instead, the Surgepu dcneial declares
that the epidemic will Increase and not
diminish.
Doctor Anders takes Issue with Doctor
Itucker to n certain extent.
"It Is not the cold or the warm, un
seasonable weather alone which causes
the grip epidemic," says Doctor Anders
tills afternoon; "it Is tho swinging to
anil fro of the pendulum from one ex
treme of heat to the other of cold.

Public Service Commissioners
Inspecting All Locations for
Frankford Stations
The nd of the long controversy over
tho location of stations along the Frank"
ford elevated lino Is In slRht,
Chairman William 1. 11. Alney, John
Monoghan and Milton J. Ilrccht, of tho
1 Public Service Commission, today nro per
sonally Inspecting all tho sites under fire,
with n view to n. final settlement and nn
early award of the contract for tho sec
tion containing the proposed stations un-
. der dispute.
Tho commissioners arrived In tho city
this morning and were met by officials of
the Department of City Transit and dele
gations representing tho two factions
that nro advocating different station sites.
Their visit Is tho climax of n. hearing
nnd n continued hearing, nt which tho Is
sues nt slake, It was nnnounced, wcro
so Important nnd yet no confused that
only a personal visit could ho regarded
ns Just and Fatlsfnctory,
Tho decision of the commission, which
Is expected within a few days, will enable
contracts to he awarded for tho 4C00
foot section between Unity and Dyro
streets through tho Usunnco of a certltl
cntc of public convenience. Bids were
opened for tho construction of tho lino
on December 11, but tho station dlsputo
prevented tho contracts being let.
Tho disputed sites nro tho Orthodox
Arrott streets and the Church-Runn
streets stations, of tho Taylor plan, and
tho Arrott-Margnrctta streets and tho
Unity street station, ndvocntcd by nn
other faction of Frrtnkford business men.
The Orthodox-Arrott streets site was
chosen, city engineers say. because 60 per
cent, of Frankford's tralho passes this
point by menns of the cross-town sur
face lines to which freo transfers are to
bo granted under tho Tnylor plan, nnd
because of tho nbsenco of grade nnd
curvature and the comparatively low
elevation at this point.
A station nt Unity street, the Taylor
plan advocates contend, would bo situ
nted on n curvo between the Orthodox
Arrott and Church-Runn streets stations,
would bo only BOO feet from tho latter nnd
would neccssltato a respaclng of the sta
tions'. One of them, tho Church-Ruan
streets site, nlrendy has been approved
by tho commission.
Exponents of tho Arrott-Margnrctta
stiects slto point out that six streets con
verge at this spot, which Is regnrded as
a community centre. They contend that
a station Is needed at Unity street also,
because of the great dlstnnce between
the Church-Ruan and Orthodox-Anott
streets sites.
WOMAN ASSAULTS WIFE
OF LIEUT. SMILEY
Continued frnm 1'iibc Onr
"Come In," she said, hospltabl), "it's
so cold."
Tho visitor was welcomed Into tho warm
house.
"N'o, I don't believe I'll tnko off my
things," sho said, In reply to -. query.
Sho even retnlned the black fur muff,
holding It in her lap, but threw her neck
piece over the back of her chnlr. Every
movement, every word she said, Indicated
the highest refinement.
ACCEPTED CCP OK TEA
JIrs Smiley ottered tho visitor n. cup of
tea nnd tho latter accepted.
"With a cracker. If you please," sho
smiled. She lifted her veil to the tip of
her nose no further. Mrs. Smiley snw a
pair of glasses gleam behind the veil.
"I havo known jour husbnnd a long
time," tlio woman told Mrs. Smiley ovei
tho teacup. "Ho Is a splendid -man. I
knew him long before ho was transferred
to his present post.
Whilo tho women wero chatting In
the living room the telcphono bell rang.
It was Lieutenant Smiley calling his wlfo
from tho station house so that another
old friend of tho fumlly, a man. might
say a few words to her
"Oh, Isn't this a coincidence," exclulmed
Mrs. Smiley with tho receiver to her
ear. "And n good friend of jours Is
here nt this moment."
"Yes," continued Mrs. Smiley. "No, I
don't know her name. Tho woman you
mot today, from Bethlehem, and told to
come to see me."
"What?" Mrs. Smiley wns puzzled,
for her hsuband's voice, suddenly stern
and suspicious, had said, "Hold that
woman!"
Mrs. Smiley looked at her visitor. The
woman In black had arisen. The veil
ngnln covered her features completely. A
hand snatched a small holster from her
muff and with a Jerk out came a pearl
hnndled revolver.
"Drop that 'phone!" she said In n low
tone.
And a gleaming revolver barrel was
pointing at Mrs. Smlley's head. Fright
ened, she let the receiver drop. But she
was not quick enough to satisfy the in
truder. Like a tigress she sprang at her
hostess, knocked her down nnd standing
astride her prostrate form, held tho re
volver to her head.
"Squeal an' I'll plug ye!" she Bnarled.
The drawing-room voice had vanished.
and the woman lapsed Into tho argot of
the Tenderloin.
"In the meantlmo Lieutenant Smiley,
aroused by the crash, was vainly jerk
ing tho receiver hook up and down. Giv
ing that up, he sent a hurry cnll to the
61st and Thompson streets station for a
patrol wagon, and another frantic mes
sage to a neighbor, August Harris, of
1634 North KM street, emplojed tn the
Bureau of Water.
"do help my wife'," he shouted Into the
telephone, "and capture that woman."
In the meantime. In the Smiley home
tho woman In black was backing away
from Mrs. Smiley, who had arisen, still
looking down the ugly little throat of
the revolver.
And then, innocence personified, 2-year-old
Warren Smiley awakened from his
sleep upstairs, came toddling down the
stairs. Tho woman's eyes fell on him
as he stood on the landing.
"If you squeal I'll shoot the kid," she
said, with a gleam In her eye. She re
alized that Mrs. Smiley, however unafraid
for herself, would not sacrifice her baby
for a police capture no, not for a thou
sand captures. Her revolver followed the
baby's course down the steps and over
to the telephone, where he gravely put
the receiver back on tha hook as be had
been taught to do.
' Immediately the telephone bell began
ringing furiously. It was the frantic
husband calling.
"Itemember, I'll surely plug that kid
If you squeal," reiterated the woman,
backing toward the front door. Mrs,
Smiley stood still, horrified. The in.
truder backed through tha vestibule dool
and closed It with care.
Mrs. Smiley, clasping her baby to her
breast In thankfulness, saw tbe door
open again and tha revolver protruded
through the crack. The woman's skirt
had caught- '
"Remember!" she yelled. And the door
closed again.
A few seconds later Harris, breathless
and half-clothed, and the detail of
policemen clattering up In a van found
Mrs. Smiley at the 'phone, telling her
husband that everything was "all fight."
No trace of the woman was to be found.
No one else had seen her.

seen much business in the drug store pn
Sundays. Many would go In sober, thoy
said, and come out Intoxicated.
Whenever a uniformed bluecoat wourri
go In the store, however, everything was
orderly, but they could not but notice the)
number of men drinking soda water.
Finally Policemen Palmer and Leo, of the '
vice, squad, were sent to Investigate,
They became confidential with one of
the patrons, and he took them around.
"Gimme a pint," said the acquaintance to
tho clerk at the soda "water counter, and
be winked his right eye.
"Want It to tako home'" was the only
question asked by the clerk, Ortzman;.
"Yes," replied the customer. Thereupon
a medicinal-looking bottle was given him
and Policeman Leo paid ES cents for It
and its 'contents, which was found to be
whisky. The following Sunday the two
cops vUlted the place again and saw two
men drinking their "soda water" at tbe
counter. This time Schlechtman was dis
pensing the drinks, and Palmer, -winking,
ordered two pints, one for himself and
one to Leo. They did not say they
wanted whisky, but that h what Doctor
Kobinson, the city chemist, said was lo
ilia bottles.
