MACKAY REFUSED
BIG OFFERS BEFORE
LEAVING NEWARK
Divine, Who Died on Way to
Summer Home, Often Thrilled
Congregation in This City.
~ nnrkeneo iN MEMApK

Donald Sage Mackay, the silver
tongued divine whose forceful utter
ances against the sins of society have
often thrilled Newarkers at the North
Reformed Church, of this city, is dead
in Portland, Me, a victim Of double
pneumonia, brought on, it is believed,
by overWork
In Newark DR.. Mackay was noted as
a man Of brilliant attainments, whose
popularity was not excelled by any col
league. lie devoted himself wholly to
his work, despite the remonstrances of
his friends, who declared that his ac-
tiVities were SO general and varied
that it was more than the stoutest
human frame could stand.
DIR. Mackay was pastor Of The North
Reformed Church in this city from 1894
TO 1898. During this time his work was
widely commented upon. and he re-
ceived many fiattering calls from fash
ionable churches in larger cities. He
finally accepted a call to the Marble
Collegiate Church, of New York, at a
salary of 1900 per annum. His con-
gregation was known as the Yealtlliest
in New York, and his sermons attracted
great attention. In one of chem he
said:
Society today in fashionable churches
is simply playing with gilt paint. It
is making too much of the frame and
too little of the picture. Fifth avenue
has a tendency to dress up sin. Society
actually is sOrdid in sin. 1t is uncon-
scious of it. 1t really glories in it.
Today the divorce court, instead OF be-
ing a tragedy, is a highly-spiced dia-
InOnd-duSted romance. The uakp1 renl-
tiles of sin must be shown to those
whose consciences are sleeping. These
realities are seen in the Stun mis-
sions"
DR.. Mackay vas accused of heresy
III 1905 because of an article he had
published in the Christian Intelli-
gencer, IN which he gave reasons for
the apparent growing inability OF men
to believe in a personal God.
"If the Iowa Chassis indorses that
type of theology" he replied, "as the
theology of the Reformed Church in
America | am ready to step out of my
pulpit tomorrow. | would rather break
stones by the roadside than to preach
such a caricature of the love of God"
At the time of his death DIR. Mackay
was on his way to his summer home
at Blue Hill. Maine. He was accom-
panied by his wife and associate pas
tor, the Rev. A. Hageman.

'HUMPTY' WON'T

FROM NEW YORK
Refuses to Talk to Detectives
Sent TO Interview Him-Jail
Pass Causes Trouble.

"Humpty' Williams, the leader OF the
notorious band of safe-crackers, rob
bers n convicts. who was taken into
custody by Detective Sergeant Ryan
and Pl~ainclothesman Harris. of police
headquarters. and Lieutenant McKen-
ma. of the New York police headquar-
ters, continues to defy the New York
police.
Lieutenant Mckenna came to this city
today and Went TO the county Jail with
Plainclothesman Harris with a pass
from Captain Carroll to see Williams.
Warden Steadman ignored the pass and
told Harris that the Jail was being run
by Sheriff Sommer and not Captain
Carroll. He told Harris thai he would
have to get a pass from either the
sheriff or Under-Sheriff Mason, and
Harris left and returned later with a
pass signed by Mason.
They were led into the division where
Williams and his pals, Richard Vaughn
and Buck" Tiffany, are awaiting trial.
When McKenna told Williams that he
wished to talk to him "Humpty''
turned his back II said: II don't
want to talk to you, nor see you, for
I'm going TO stay here in Jersey, and
don't want to have anything to do with
you or New York.
The two detectives left. and on the
way out Harris stopped to talk to
Vaughn. and was censured for doing
so by Keeper Frederick Coyna.4 who
informed Harris that no one had a
right TO talk to a prisoner unless no
had a pass to do so.
In speaking of the case, Warden
Steadman said that Coyne only did his
duty. He said:
Harris or no other police officer has
q right to talk to any prisoner when he
has no permit, and hat permit must
b. signed either by the sheriff or
Under-sheriff Mason" -
