the purpose of extending ttio orgnnlintlon
to' thosa cities,
Enthuslniitlo despite the tiring day, many
cf the Stonemen expressed the belief (hut
they bad mado progress which permitted
them to hops that their organisation would
' bo extended to many other cities.
Teaterday'a pilgrimage, they said, was
the most successful undertaken outside of
Philadelphia, the birthplace of the orgntil
ration. Not many months nito the Btonemen In
vaded Pittsburgh, and the trip to New
York admittedly won n second step taken
to effect a national organisation, with Its
tnaln purnose that of the followshlm to
Et men to go to church.
Tho Oev. If. C. Ktone, founder of tho fel
lowship, asked the reception committee of
Jlrooktyn clergymen to servo ns a fellow
ship committee until a formal organization
can bo perfected. The Itev. Or. John F.
J Cnraon, paalor of tho Central Presbyterian
Church, nnd chairman of tho committee,
acceded Immediately. Thus the Initial step
WAS taken.
Doctor Stone spoke from the balcony of
tha Thirteenth ncglmont Armory In Ilrook

low, he soldi
"What Is your purpose In life after Join

Tho answer camt In unison from 7000
throats:
"To know Clod and do Ills will."
"Brothera of Ilrooklyn," ho said, "we
Want you to know that wo are nonsec

'can win a man for Christ."
The pllgtimago coit the Stonemen 130,000.
Eleven special trains were required to carry
them to New York and Ilrooklyn. Thou

At the Cathedral, In Manhattan, tha Itev.
ilr. Stono preached a sermon which to a
largo extent he repeated nt other services
later. If any one had expected sensational
Utterance he was disappointed. Tho head
of the fellowship told of tho growth of the
organization In Philadelphia to 110,000 nnd
of Its purpose, to get men to go to church,
The Idea of prosecuting tha work hero
had como to him, ha Hald, when traveling
In Egypt, where ho was Impressed by the

While these services were going on In

BRUMBAUGH BOOSTS
NEW TROLLEY LINE HERE
Greeta Delegation En Route to
Capital to Urge 35th Ward
Route
Hv a Htaff Corrnponttent
HAlllUSllUlia, Deo. 11. Governor Ilrum
baugh gave bis strong Indorsement to tho
construction of the proposed trolley lino
through tho Thirty-fifth Ward, Philadel
phia, today, whon ho personally greeted tho
delegation from that city who i-iimn hero to
urgo tho Public Service Commission to Issue
a certlllcuto of public convenience for the
lino.
Tho Oovcmor, with Attorney tlonernl
Ilruwn, Congressman Cleorgo V. ICdmundH
and Chairman Alnoy, of thn Service Hoard.
was en route to Harrlsburg whon ho learned
that tho Philadelphia transit boosters wore
In n speclul car attached to the train.
Accompanied by tho other membern of
his party, tho (Jovornnr went through tho
car, Hhnok linndH with each man, and de
clared that ho wns keenly Interested In the
new Una becnuso of Its relation to the
city institution at Ilyberry Farms.
"I certainly hope you get what you wish,"
ho observed, when Select Councilman
Oenrgo Mitchell, who headed the delegation,
met him.
The fact that Sir. Alney, who, us chair
man of tho commission, haa tho final word
In the enso, stood beslda tha Oovornor when
tho latter comtnendud the project, was taken
as a certain augury of success by the mem
bers of tha delegation.
Arguments for the granting of a certifi
cate will ba mado beforo tho commission
by Transit Director Twining, Assistant
Director Atkinson, City Solicitor Connelly,
Assistant City Solicitor Ixiwenguard and
Director Krusen, of tho Department of
Health and Charities, who Is anxious to
have established better communication
with the Jiyberry Farms.
Considerable opposition to tha granting
of a certificate has developed In transit
circles during tha last week, and thla Is ex
pected to assume the form of a definite
protest before the commission today. The
onoosltlon Is not to the line, but to tha
present route as fixed by councllmanlo ordi
nance, which diverges from tho original
recommenuauon in ino layior plan.
Former Transit Director A. Merritt Tay
lor had Intended to.' rdn tha line for ts
entire length over private right-of-way,
with no grado crossings. Ho had assumed
that tha majority of land owners through
whose property the line would pass would
donate a right-of-way. Jn some cases thla
had already been done. Construction of tho
Una under thla plan would have given much
greater speed,
Tho line aa changed by Councllmanlo
ordinance would now run over public
thoroughfare entirely and wilt have grade
crossings along Its entire length. Speed
wll be sacrificed. It charged, to suit the
deslrea of certain political powers who own
land along- tha route aa planned at present.
Senator McNIchoI and Select Councilman
George Mitchell, of the Thirty-fifth Ward,
both own land along tha proposed route,
which. It fa admitted, will be much en
hanced In value by th operation of the
line. Both McNIchoI and Mitchell, bow
aver, declars that the present route is
perfectly aatlsfactory to the residents of
the, ward and that it I aa good aa. If not
better, than the Taylor plan route.

MttS. JOHN R. FELL
LONDON LOSES FEAR
OF ZEPPELIN RAIDS
Jlra. John R. Fell, Just Across,
Describes Thrilling Chnse of
German Airmen
"The people of Txindon simply refuso to
take the Zeppelin raids seriously," declared
Mrs. John II. Pell, one of this city's most
prominent society women, who, with her
husband. John It. Fell, the well-known polo
player and clubman, arrived home today,
after a two montlm visit In Kngland.
Mr and Mrs. Fell wero In London on
Nocinber 56. when a German seaplane
flew over the city dropping bombs. They
u'liiieaaeil thn thrilling chnso by the Ilrltlsh
aviators and the efforts of tho anti-aircraft
guns In trying to bring tho Invader down.
"I was only two blocks away from the
place where ono of tho bombs thrown by tfit
(lerman aviator fell." said Mrs. Fell. "Thr
exploding bombs sound Just llko bursting
ntltomoblla tires.
"Nobody seems to be much Impressed In
London nowadays by nny of these air raids.
They have become commonplace. Of course,
the damage done Is considerable, but the
debris Is so quickly cleared nwny that no
one unfamiliar with tho raid could ever tell
whore tho bombs strike.
"London Is serious, notwithstanding tho
fnct that her people cannot bring themselves
to fear the Zeppelins. The resignation of
the Ilrltlsh Cabinet and tho selection of
Lloyd Cleorgo have .been expected for some
tlmo Tho people look for better things
under tho new government.
'Tho theatres and music halls nro tho
gayest places In tho city. They nro open
every afternoon nnd night. They nro packed
to the doors. Iindon Is n very dark city
nt night. livery street lamp Is extinguished
or shaded. It would be Impossible for a
stranger to make his way uliout tho city
without a guide." '
Mr. nnd Mrs. Hell wero passengers nn
tho steamship St. Paul, which arrived In
New York yesterday from Liverpool. They
left this city Immediately for the homo of
Mrs. Fell's father. Philip 8. P. Ilandolph,
at I.nllowiioil. N. J.
A mild flurry of excitement wlillo off tho
flrnnd Hanks, caused by what seemed to
bo a I'-boat. but proved to be a whale, was
the only occurrenco of more than ordinary
Interest during the voyage.
Mr. and Mrs. Fell left thlB city on Octo
ber 10. going directly to Liverpool nnd Lon
don from Now York.

commlttee'nnd Is as follows!
Aa Mayor of Philadelphia and a for
mer Postmaster. I urge you to enter
protest before the Committee on Post
offices and Post Roads against tho dli
contlnunce of ths pneumntlo tube
service In Philadelphia. Motortruck
service In connection with the tube
would give Improved service, and we
need It. Anything else 'means a step
backward and a severe blow to our
business Interests.
MANY MAKIJ PROTESTS
Those who presented arguments against
abandoning the service In Philadelphia
wero Kdward It. Martin, United llu.l
ness Men's Association; Philip dodtey
Philadelphia Hoard of Trade; K. H

WIIIIhih P.. Mills, captain of Philadelphia
irnmo wiuau ; uavia ti. I'rovan, treasurer
of the Hotel Men's Association.
Mr. Uartol pointed out that thero were
only fifteen cities In tho United States that
do a larger business than the Hourae post
office station, which Is connected by pneu
matic tubes with tho main post office and
railroad stations.
Mr. Thompson explained to the com
mittee that tho pneumntlo tubes made pos.
alble the ndvnncc of certain clearings so
that they aro effective n day earlier, thus
saving two per cent. The amount of such
transactions Is based on from 120,000.000 to
J30.000.00fi, which would mnke a total loss
of more fban $1100 n day If tho present
mnll connections wero not made. It Is as
serted they cannot be mndo by automobile.
Captain Mills, of tho traffic squad, as
scrted that he wns opposed to any service
highway for speed.'
Captain Mills opposed tho use of motor
enrs, because of tho great danger to
pedestrians. He said that tha use of motor
cars between the stations, tho central post
office nnd tho Ilourso would pass through
tho most congested section of tho city,
where the pedestrians wero estimated a
between 3000 and 7000 an hour. He ,t.
dared that there had been 115 deaths In
inunucipnia Hinco inst January from nuto
mobllo collisions. Thero have been thirty
eight collisions with United States mall
vehicles nnd twenty-nno porsons wero In
jured by such wagons.
