 Stirring Address by Bradford Williams
 of New York-special Service To-
 Night.
 Bradford Williams of Brooklyn, N. Y, was the speaker yesterday afternoon at the mass meeting for men in Foy audi torium. Mr Williams has been here besore and has many friends. Yester- day he added materially to that num- ber. man of unusual power and en- dowed with an intensely earnest and at time almost dramatic delivery, he con- trols and sways his audiences wonder fully.
 Tn his address yesterday MT. Will Hams appealed to men who are profess ing to live Christian lives to come out and put more earnestness and testimo- ny into their lives. He spoke of. the man who professes the Bible, who would not knowingly cheat his fellow men but whose life is not a living tes- timony for Christ and who has not that sense of religious awakening which will led him to proclaim the religion he se- cretly professes.
 MT Williams appeal for more Christi | like lives was a straightforward, manly. discussion Of the rights Of God in the world to have those who profess Him at His command that their lives might have added power to throw out an in fiuence in the way of others who have not, as yet been brought to fully believe the value of the following of Christ
 This evening MT. Williams will con- clude the special Lenten services which he has been conducting at the Y, M. C.. A. The address tonight will be in keeping with those delivered last week and all men are urged and cordially in- vited to attend and bring some other man. There will be a special musical programme and the meeting will be a most interesting one. Yesterday after noon the music was furnished by the male quartette of the Presbyterian church.

TERRIBLE PANIC IN CHURCH
Continued from First Page.)

l. Fl - stampede was that while a man was distributing the palms a scramble to secure them occurred. This is stoutly denied by Trustee Vece. The police intend to make a thorough investiga- tion and when the man who gave the alarm is caught it is probable that unless he can show sufficient cause it will go hard with him. It was stated last evening that he was one of the dissenters in the church and that he did it to cause trouble.
 This is the second panic which has oc- cured in the building. About seven years ago man who was murdered was being buried from the church, when some one saw one of the beams of the ceiling moving slightly, and cried out that the roof was falling. The only in- juries at that time consisted of two peo- pie having bones broken. One an arm and the other leg.'
 Sergeants Klaiber and Connolly were on the scene and did much towards the work of rescue.

CRuMrACKER REPLIES TO JAMES

Gov. nurbin's Action.
Crumpa cker of Indiana arose to make

of questions from the Democratic side.
The tension became intense each side

plause. while the other side would de-
ride. The governor of Indiana need

pecially to many one acquainted with

clared the kentucky juries 10 have

Crumpacker insisted, Powers had not
single political friend on the jury.
McDermott of New Jersey asserted
that governors of states We're not re-
quired or supposed to take into COnsid-
ertaion the prospect of n fair trial.
Crumpacker differed on this point. and
declared that history would justify the
action of Indiana in this matter.

speech OF CrumpacRer was diSgrac &c
to United States civilization. 1t was
ridiculous to suppose that all purity
reigned in India na, and that just across
the river all was corruption. Williams
drew the same conclusion as James
regarding retaliation and its pCssibili-
ties as touching the death of Mckin-
ley.
Williams declared that the plank In
the Indiana Republican platform in
dorsing the refusal to eXtradite Tay-
lor had sunk that party to a low level
and predicted disaster to Indiana Re
publicanism.
An amusing interruption was made
by Burke of South Dakota. While
Smith of Kentucky was speaking he
asked: "Will the gentleman state what
proportion of Kentucky is prohibit
tion?"
"Oh. about two-thirds," was the re-
ply. I'VE make whisky down there
for the rest of the country, Maine and
Kansas"
Hemeuway asked what had become
of the 100000 corruption fund raised
to protect the Goebel trial. Smith re-
piled that only 5000 was used and
that was for conveying witnesses 20
teh Powers trial.
Hemenway maintaiped that the Goe-
bel crime was Il political one and that
conditions in Kentucky were nor such
rs TO secure n fair trial should Tay-
Tor be extradited. He predicted that
the time would come when a fair trial
might be had, and also that Governor
Durbin was pursuing policy which
Kentucky hereafter would indOrSe.

the defense was led by Crumpacker
