Pittsburgh to testify brforo the Federal
Grand Jury when tho hearing Is resumed
Monday.
She did not comment on tho alleged

Department of Justice access to files In
the offices of the United States Brewers'
Association In New York city and Treas
urer Lembeck's office In Jersey City, the
authorization to be dispatched at once
by telegraph.

BARTENDERS MUST NOT
HIT DRUNKEN PATRONS
Magistrate Strongly Rebukes Rum
Dispenser Who Used Rubber Hose
Persuader
An ultimatum to bartenders and sa
loonkeepers that they would be hold for
court when they struck a man, who, un
der the Influence of liquor, verbally as
saulted them, was handed down to the
ruinfeollers this morning by Mnglstrato
CaTSnn during the courso of a hearing at
tho Park and Lehigh avenues station.
The caso was that of a drunken man
who walked Into a saloon at Germantown
avenue and Cambria street early this
morning, was refused a drink because of
his condition and was then cracked on the
head with a piece of hard rubber hose
when It Is said he told the bartender,
Joseph Frelmlller, what ho thought of
him In terms that wero more completo
than polite.
The man, Jesse Adams, of 3025 North
11th street, came back. It Is said, with a
revolver and pointed It at the bartender.
The pistol was not found on him when
later arrested, and this was the cause of
the stern rebuke the bartender received
when Magistrate Carson heard tho testi
mony. "Come over here," said tho Judgo, who
Is a strong temperance advocate, to the
bartender, "It want you to get this and
get It straight. I want you to know you
can't take the law In your own hands.
Because you sell the stuff that makes men
crazy. It doesn't follow that you can hit
them when they get In that condition. I
am going to servo notice on you barten
ders and saloonkeepers that when any of
you nre brought before me on a similar
charge I am going to hold you first, and
hold you for a court and Jury."
Magistrate Carson then discharged
Adams.

sued years ngo to tho effect that any
thing In tho nature of gambling Is pro-
mimed in llic uuyt uul uio I'euy iiiutuiiica
for the children escaped the order.

I boys are taught by means of these devices
to gamble heavily In later years'.
N'o offenders were arrested today, but
their names were taken by tho police,
together with the number and nature of
tho machines In their establishments and
tho time nt which they were taken. These
records will bo kept for reference In caBO
of a second offense, when charges will
bo pressed.
it Is thought that more than 100 small
gambling devices will be confiscated beforo
the day Is over.
The gambling apparatus, which Is
said to rango from slips on which tho
gambler "plunges" on tho chanco of n
fine, big, B-cent chocolato egg, to a detlco
that plays for Jewelry In amounts from
$10 to $45, have been patronized by chil
dren all over the city for years. It Is said.
Tho favorlto game Is that called tho
"chocolato egg" In which tho chances are
sold for 1 cent, with tho prospects of a
fivefold reward taken out In any kind of
candy.
Another game is called tho "Raster
puncherlne," this being a card which
yields rewards according to tho colors
revealed after punching It.
Nlckel-ln-tho-slot machines havo been
confiscated. Thcso nre machines In which
a nickel Is dropped, and on which thero
Is a chance of winning large stakes In
proportion to the sum risked. It Is said
by tho police that In some of tho small
stores It Is a habit for tho older boys
to go In and "shoot" a short game of
pinochle with tho proprietor for cigarettes,
candy and other small articles.

"Five minutes nfte'r dentil you will
regret the way you spent your life."
After the last word of the discourse

hell has gono through tho saloon. Tho
hottest placo In hell Bhould bo reserved for
tho men who support such booxo Joints as
aro found In certain fashlonablo clubB."
Tho evangelist proved that tho liquor
traffic was an enemy of tho nation and
that Its elimination was essential to real
"preparedness." Ho said:
"Tho saloon will tnko your boys. It Is
In tho nefarious business for tho money
that Is In it. It says to tho protest of
tho mother, tho wife. 'To hell with your
boy; to hell with your husband. I want
money.' None would be gladder than I
to sco tho saloonkeeper, distiller, tho
brewer come down this alBlo and say, 'I
want to bo a Christian,'
"But I would tell them that they must
give up their blood-stained money. I am
not against tho saloonkeeper. Ho Is ono
of God's creatures, but I hato tho way ho
gets his living. Ho Is like tho Ilea. A
flea Is ono of God's creatures, but I hato
tho way It gets Its living. I have six
charges to make against tho saloon.
THE SIX CHARGES.
"First. Tho saloon Is a coward. Bus
iness man, you decorate your windows and
throw open tho doors of your stores,
don't you? Tho saloon has opaque glass.
blinds, ladles' entrances, etc. It Is sneak
ing, crawling like tho devil, under cover
like a thief. It Is a cowardly, sinuous,
snaky thing, striking at children, tho
manhood of men and the womanhood of
woman ; It wounds the defenseless.
"Second. The saloon Is an Infidel. It
has no faith In God. It Is God's worst
enemy nnd the dovll's best friend. If It
could, tho saloon Is an Institution that
would close ovcry church In tho land. Tho
day Is coming when It will bo put out of
the church. But when death comes to the
bloated saloonkeepers, they desire a
Christian burial. Thero Is a great send
oft, while pyramids of flowers and a great
procession. But If I know God or tho
Bible, there Is a hot reception In tho next
world. What of tho man who votes for
the saloon? It Is the same for the saloon
keeper and for tho man who supports It.
That's only fair.
"Third. Tho saloon Is a liar. It prom
ises a good tlmo and gives misery. 'Come
boys, let's have a good tlmo tonight.'
Then the wine and tho champagne. But
when you get up In tho morning with a
head like a November cabbage, and you
have to use a shoehorn to get your hat on,
there Is no 'sham pain' about that.
"A shark won't stick Its teeth Into a
rum-soaked carcass and .a Hon won't
touch ono, Tho saloon Is a liar. Can
you show me a drunkard's happy homo?
Is there happiness In lost manhood, in de
filed conscience, In body on fire and a
soul on Its way to hell?
"Fourth. It's a thief. You do not get
your money's worth. Put $1 In tho saloon
and you have to pay $8 for keeping Its
product. It steals manhood from the boy,
turna his bright prospects aside, making
him a thief, liar and hobo. It steals your
friends. It robs ot food, love of children,
home, respect of community, takes the
crust out of your child's hand and would
lay Its hand upon even tho coffin which
comes into the house when death visits
the home,
"Fifth. The saloon Is nn outlaw. It Is
legalized, but not legal.
Sixth. The saloon Is a moral murderer
in the sight of God. Every saloon In town
kills three men In a year. One hundred
and ten thousand dlo In this country year
ly from Its saloons. Every eight minutes
counts tho death and damnation of an
ndult In our country. The Baloon needs
2,000,000 boya to take the place of those
slain by It."
Tonight at 7 o'clock the parade will
move from tho tabernacle at the P. It. T
terminal, back ot the Methodist Episcopal
Church. It promises to contain many
unique banners and floats, among the
latter being a wagon bearing a coffin "In
which to bury the demon rum In 1020."
The route will be through Woodland ave
nue to tho Siloam Methodist Church, West
Philadelphia, and return.
The Salvatldn Army band will lead the
procession and throughout the march the
men and women will sing temperance
songs and hymns.
Following the Salvation Army band will
come a delegation of Boy Scouts, Camp.
fire Girls In costume from four churches,
the Sunshine choir of about 600 children
and the regular choir of 400 men and
women. Then will come delegations of
ministers and laymen and women from
Darby, Lansdowne, Colllngsdale. Sharon
Hill, aienolden, Colwyn, West Phllade).

bers of five negro churches will be in line,
