PHILADELPHIA, Dec. %. -
Rev. DR.. j. Wilbur Chapman and
Charles Alexander have returned
from an evangelistic tour of the
world that extended over a period
of 10 months, during which time
they travelled $4,000 miles and
held 1000 meetings.
The Moody and Sankey of the
present day have aroused a re-
ligious fervor never before equaled
in Philadelphia. Thousands of
every denomination and every class
accorded the returning evangelists
a welcome such as few religious
leaders have had.
1t was DR.. Chapman who start
ed Billy" Sunday, one of the
most successful and probably the
most picturesque revivalists in
America.
Charles Alexander, the Sankey
OF this evangelistic partnership,
has made three tours of the world,
singing in nearly every large city
on the globe. 1t was he who made
the GLORY Song" famous through
out the world during his revival
tour with Rev. r. A. Torey. He
conducted the largest evangelistic
choir ever organized. 1000 MEM
bers, for two months in Royal AL
bert hall, London.
DR.. Chapman and his associate
have reduced REVEALS to a perfect
system. A complete organization
plans the whole campaign in its
every detail. A more businesslike
system does not exist in any mer-
camille establishment.
A series of mammoth revivals
to be held throughout the United

over the Belgians that her dead
lover ruled is the sinister contI oil
that two remarkable women are
welding today over Austria-H Hun
gary, the most polyglot but proud
est empire in the world. One of
these women is toothless and bag
gard and old. The other is beau
tiful, young, ambitious-a prin-
cess.
One influences everything the
aged Emperor Franz Josef does
in affairs of state. The other is
the morganatic wife of his success
sor to the throne.
This empire has long been held
together only by Franz Josef's
sheer force of character. He is
now in his S0th year. All his
power except over Austria has
been won by long and bitter fight
ing in royal courts and on the
battlefield.
His nephew, the Archduke
Franz Ferdinand, also a Hapsburg,

tolic king of Hungary, king of
Bohemia and half a dozen other
little countries, an empire in which
there are eight races of people
and 80 tongues.
Franz Josef was anxious that
his nephew should marry some
woman of a royal house. Then
the secret of the younger man
came out. He was already mar

FEDERAL COURT DENIES
INJUNCTION PETITION
Of I. R. & P. CO.

The federal court late yester-
day afternoon refused to grant an
injunction to stop the city from
trying out the issues in the scent
fare controversy to see whether
or not the 7. r. & p. Company
must give the reduced fare TO
Fern Hill.
Attorney Howe and B. S.
Groescup appeared for the Old
Colony Trust Company and the T.
r. & p. and Grosscup filed a long
answer for the T. r. p, in which
he declared that to reduce the
fare to 5 cents to Fern Hill will
bankrupt the company and throw
1t into the hands of a receiver.
Judge Stules riddled this state
ment In his argument for the
city. He showed from the sworn
statements of the company's Off
o.als that 1t has been paying ali
the fixed charges and having a
surplus running up to nearly
800, 900 a year for the last five
or six years. The suit of the Old
Colony Trust Company only al
leges that the reduction in fares
would make a difference of
$1,000, and Judges Stiles showed
the court conclusively that this
would not bankrupt the company.
Judges Stiles insisted that 1t
was not sure that the low fare
would not even increase the rev.
enues by the increase in travel.
The effort of the company to
enjoin the city from the only
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1909-12-28

legal means 1t has to see wheth-
er or not the scent fare shall
prevail the city attorney said was
unheard of in legal practice.
Judge Hartford ON the bench
evidently thought SO also and he
refused to grant any injunction
to the plaintiffs.
This disposes of the Old Colony
Company and the case is now up
to the superior court on the Pr
tition of the city for a writ OF
man date compelling scent fare.
Attorneys for T. r. p. yester-
day filed motion in the superior
court before Judge Chapman for
a transfer of the case to the fed.
eral court, alleging that the
amount In dispute is over $4,000,
as required to file a federal court
case. and that THE action is a suit
in equity.
Judge Chapman did not pass
on the motion yesterday.
The action of the street car
company was taken to try to get
the case into the federal court,
where 1t can be dragged along
for years, while the people are
compelled to pay the extra fares.
If they succeed in tIhis effort
and delay the matter, 1t will prob
ably mean that the people will at
once take UP the proposition of
municipal ownership as the only
means left for getting relief.
The cityls case is set for hear
ing before Judge Chapman at 10
o'clock Friday.

the controversy with the Bell

City Attorney Stiles was hand

his petition all drawn ready to

the attorneys were trying TO
avoid was getting into federal
court where the corporations
have the advantage and where the
case may be dragged out for years
possibly.

time the attorneys for the tele-

orders how to proceed and they
jumped into federal court yester-

Now the city is up against It.
Litigation in this court will be
much more expensiv and delays

WIN TEST CASE

The test case to determine
whether the school board can
compel parents to have their
children vaccinated before
they are admitted to the Ta-

won by the vaccationists to-
day when Judge Shackle-

ruled that Margaret Russ, a

because she had no vaccina-

admitted.
The girl had carried a eer-

that because of her physical
condition he deemed it unwise
