City Treasurer Guenther refused to
say what he would do until he had a
chance to consider the matter and to
consult with friends.
The conference did not take the form
of a caucus, a number of the conferees
insisting hat they be not bound by
the decision OF the day. This was
agreed to and the meeting took the
form Of only an expression of opinion
by the leaders.
Mr.. Wilson refused today to make a
formal statement at the present time.
He said he would give one out next
week.
"I was not a candidate for the place."

much changed from the Cordova that
entered the place Thu ee years and foul
months ago. His heavy black hair was
much thinner. His heavy, close cropped
mustache was missing, n his face
was paler, but his confinement had not
aged him to any appreciable extent.
Three years of Silent suffering as
he termed it, did much to his power of
speech. 9 He talked with considerable

grapher's textbook. which had been his
sole companion when he was not work

AND HIS HYMNS
Famoas Revivalist Dies, Total.
Iy Blind, in His Brook

WORLD WITH
LATE DWIGHT L. MOODY
Author of Many of the Songs
Now Popular in Protestant
Churches.

Ira ID. Sankey, the singing evangelist,
whose sweet voice eaptivated many
thousands of people at the Dwight l..
Moody religious meetings in America
and Europe, is dead in his home at
Brooklyn, N. Y. Few outside of his
family knew of his death until last
night, for he had bee totally blind for
five years and seldom ventured outside
of his home.
Mr.. Sankey was not only a singer
whose voice delighted hundreds Of
thousands, but he was a composer and
author of some of the most popular
hymns sung in Protestant churches
and Sunday schools. He was one of
the compilers of the Gospel Hymns"
which are sung in every language, and
it is estimated tina more than $4,000 900
copies of this compilation have been
sold in the last thirty-five years. OF
the immense revenue which his inter-
est in this publication brought him he
gave nearly all to the Moody schools,
at Northfield, Mass, the monument of
his friend and of his own energies as
we'll.
Ira David Sankey was born in Edin-
borough, Pa, August %, 1910.
When the war broke out Sankey en-
listed in the Twelfth Pennsylvania
Volunteers and served & three years
term of enlistment in the army of the
North.
Many thousands of Newarkers heard
Sankey at the Moody revival meetings
here, and ministers said today that he
was the greatest attraction at the meet
.ings, his p~laintive singing, so full OF re-
ligious feeling, touching the hearts and
brains of people more effectively than
the most eloquent
In 1871 Moody n Sankey went to
Great Britain, and there began their
first great evangelistic tour. Mr.. San
key carried with him a little organ, or
which he played his W accompan1-
ments. This organ afterward was kept
by Mr.. Sankey, and is now in his home
in Brooklyn. 1t was his most cherished
possession.
When Mr.. Moody planned the insti-
tute for evangelists at Mortified, Mr.
Sankey was his chief lieutenant. Botf
gave of their energies n means tc
the work. After Mr.. Moody died in 1899
Mr.. Sankey shouldered the burden OF
the work which they had carried or
together.
In 1902 his health gave way, and 8
short time later it became evident tina
his eyesight was impaired. An opera
ton was performed, but he never re
covered his sight.
