WASHINGTON. Dec. 2s..The
article by Rear Admiral Evans
criticising the ordnance depart
ment for abandoning the 10 inch
gun. which appeared in Hampton S
Broadway Magazine, caused con-
siderable stir in the navy depart
ment and the White House.
Evans takes exception to the
substitution by the navy depart
ment of the IL inch for the 10 inch
gun used at Santiago during the
war.
He says the shell carried by the
Is inch gun is better than that
carried by the IL inch gun, for
the reason II carried so pounds of
explosives, while the IL inch only
carries 40.
Ordance experts recommended
the IL inch gun be retained, its
length increased five feet. They
say for long range shooting the
10 inch shell. being lighter. few
more accurately and effectively
than the larger projectile.

ALL GET READY
FOR JAIL
INDUSTRIAL WORKERS WILL
HAVE 500 SPEAKERS ON TAP
TO BE ARRESTED FOR MAX
ING TALKS ON CITY STREET

Another problem similar to that
of failing all the saloonkeepers in
town will be presented the police
department when an attempt Is
made to enforce the ordinance re-
Gently passed to prevent public
speaking on the street. The Indus
trial Workers of the World have
organized systematic opposition
and yesterday they asked the so
cialists to join them.
The Industrial Workers already
have list of so speakers, and ex"
pect to secure a total of 500 out
of their membership Of 1900 in
this city. These speakers will be
numbered, a street meeting start
ed and as soon as one speaker Is
confiscated by the police another
will take his place. The Industrial
sists hold the ordinance an inva-
sion of the rights of free speech,
and say they would rather go to
Jail than abide by its provisions,
While planning this campaign a
man who said he did not belong to
the organization but sympathized
with the movement offered his
services as a speaker and martyr.
The Industrialists stated later that
this volunteer was detective
hired by the employment agents to
create a disturbance and thus
bring on a riot call. The indus
trialists say they intend nothing
more than to go peaceably to jail
for their rights and have the law
tested in the regular manner,
Many of their street orations are
directed against the employment
agents and these latter are suspect
ed of being especially interested in
the passage and enforcement of the
ordinance. The industrialists have
been thorn in the side of the
employment agents. although the
latter, except in few cases, have
been able to escape the conse-
Quences of sending men on wild
hunts for work, collecting a fee
from each man.
The socialists appointed COM
mittee to take up the street speak
ing issue and make recommends

anxious to secure socialist help in
their campaign II possible. The
reading of the ordinance directs
1t largely against the industrialists,
as religious meetings are excepted.
The industrialist campaign will
open next week.

GAS TANK EXPLOSION ON
ORIENTAL LIMITED EXPOSES
PATRONS TO DANGER AND
DISCOMFORT AT NIGHT IN
MOUNTAINS.

The gas tank of the observation
car on the Great Northern Oriental
Limited train, which left Seattle at
$3.50 last evening, exploded when
the train was few miles west Of
Hot Springs, about 1880 this morn
ing. The car was considerably
damaged by the fire that followed,
and the passengers occupying the
sleeping compartments in it were
compelled to fee in their night
clothes to escape the flames and
gas. The car was Immediately cut
off from the rest of the train, and
the crew fought the flames with all
the available fire extinguishers,
with the result that the fire was
soon under control.
No one was seriously injured,
though one lady in her excitement
fell out of an upper berth and Sc
verely bumped her head. The pas

to climb out of the rear end Of the

TRAMP STREETS
To KEEP!WARM.

Just because 1t is going to cost
the city some money, the munich
pal courtroom, an idle place during
the night, which is large enough to
accommodate 200 sleepers, Is not
going to be utilized for lodging
purposes at present.
While city officials and taxpayers
sleep warmly in beds, well housed
and fed, several hundred idle men
In this town are compelled to walk
the streets and SILVER all night for
lack of place to get inside away
from the elements.
Several days ago 1t was proposed
that the doors of the municipal
courtroom be opened to the home
less men who through force of cir
cumstances, or perhaps indiscre-
tons in not saving the little money
they earned during the summer
for the emergencies usually
brought on with winter, are forced
10 roam the streets.
Police Chief Rice was willing
this should be done, and willing
also to furnish a policeman to keep
order, II has not been done, how
ever. because to heat the court
room the arrangements of the heat
ing facilities makes II necessary to
heat the entire city hall. 1t is true
this would cost considerable
money. possibly several hundred
dellars before cold weather Is over.
BIZ 1t would seem that even at
hslh cost the city could well
afford it.
IL the propositions variously of.
fered by Mayor Moore and others
that the Billy Sunday tabernacle be
turned over to the unfortunates to
sleep In at night are adopted, It
will prove OF greater cost than to
heat the entire city hall.
City Commissioner O'Brien, to
whom the matter was referred. said
today that he has asked plumbers
to give him figures on the cost Of
disconnecting the courtroom from
the rest Of tho building. SO 1t may

PASSENGERS RUSH FROM
BURNING CAR INTO SNOW

awoke under the impression that
the bank deposit guarantee law
had been passed. A lady in the car
decamped in such haste that she
left her hustle behind to perish. An
unknown hero rescued it, amid
thunders of applause.
1t was stated that this particular
car had already been reported
twice for poor gas pressure, and to
overcome this difficulty it was
claimed that the safety valve, had
been screwed down. The tank fail
ed to stand the additional strain,
and the explosion and fire was the
result. Had the train been 20 min
utes. further east. 1t would have
been in the big tunnel at the top
Of the Cascades, In which case the
FIRE would likely have resulted in
loss of life, or at least serious in
jury to the passengers.
Much Indignation was expressed
among the passengers that the cars
are not provided with electric
lights, which minimize the danger
of fire. 1t Is claimed that the pres
ent gas system is cheaper to ham
die than the electricity, and for this
reason the railroad has failed to
put in the latter system. However,
the Great Northern alone has lost
many hundreds of thousands Of
dollars worth of equipment In the
past year by fire, which has result
ed in almost every instance from
the gas tanks.

OLD NICK GETS
A RESPITE
BUT BILLY SUNDAY IS MERE
LY RESTING A MINUTE AZ
TER PREACHING TO GREAT
EST CROWDS OF HIS CAREER

The devil gets breathing spell
today as Billy Sunday takes a lay
off Mondays. But the horny hoof
got clouting yesterday that last
ed from morning until night. 1t
was Billy's busy day, and more
than a score of thousand people
heard him. while thousands were
turned away for lack of room. Sun
day said it was the biggest crowds
he had ever preached to. and that
he had preached his fool head off
in consequence.
Skeptics and tie faults they find
with the Bible was the subject last
night, and the sermon covered the
ground from where Cain got his
wife to the Darwin theory. Billy
also took a whirl at the Masons
and Knight Templars for requiring
belief in God in members, and re-
fusing to discipline by expulsion
those who denied this belief after
taking the. VOWS. He argued, how
ever, that neither lodges nor reli-
gion are to blame for hypocrites in
membership any more than the
value of the genuine dollar is af-
fected by the fact that counter
feits are numerous.
Sunday also went into the ques-
ton of Christ's birth in a manner
that must have made some folks
take considerable notice. One of
the things Billy has neglected to
learn is hiding the meaning of
what he intends to say. The mys-
terry of his power in filing the big
tabernacle three times a day and
leaving crowds damned at all the
doors is perhaps explained in his
prescription for preaching as given
last night. He told how he first
got down the dictionaries and hew-
ed out sermon with sentences
that would put squeak In the jaw
of Greek professor. 1t worked
like firecracker broke In two.
Then l got out my old gospel
gun and loaded it with rough on
rats, barbed wire, epicac, butter
milk and dynamite. screwed up the
breach, pointed her and pulled the
trigger. The gangs been lodging
ever since"
Billy brought up remark of a
bartender that If it wasn't for the
votes of the church people, the bar
tender wouldn't be able to stay In
business, and he hurled that in the
teeth of the religious world gen
orally. He said it made him feel
like lady who had swallowed a
fly. The people of Spokane need
ed something else besides good
preaching, he said, and he was go
ing to give it to them In dissect-
ing the Darwin theory, Billy as
signed three points of difference in
the human makeup. proving that
man had a soul-faith. moral nature
and conscience--none of which is
possessed by animals. On that
basis he gave a forcible and at the
same time sound argument against
the man-from-monkey notion.
The Bible he held up as the one
guide for mankind, guaranteed
from cover to cover. a climax that
brought chorus of amens.
Billy did a nice thing when 1t
was proposed to GUST the small
h0vs i'm fha front rowo In orJa. a.
