Mayor BollschweiIer will send a
special message to the Board of Al
dermen Monday night recommending
that the pay of the city workmen
who are compensated at certain
rate per day, be increased. The
mayor said to a NEWS representa-
tive today that the men should re-
ccive at least SO d day and would
in his message recommend accord
ingly.
There are between thirty and thir-
ty-five men who will be affected by
the increase should the council carry
out the mayors wishes. The work
men are in the street department
and at present receive $1.75 for their
daily toll These men are only paid
when they work and the mayor says
that in view of the present high cost
of living, they should be given the
slight raise in wages. Few of the
men, the mayor says, averages more
than $40 or $45 month, which, in
his opinion, is hardly sufficient.
The special message is being pre-
pared by Mayor Bollschweiler today

DR.. BlEDERWOLF GETS
BIG REGEPTIO HERE
EvangeTistic Campaign Opens in Aud
itOriun--One Thousand Persons
Join in Singing HaIIeIujah'.
A STIRRING SERMON PREACHED

founded on the text in Acts 1U.I5:
with what intent have ye sent for
me?" He told the people with what
intent they ought to have sent for
him and, at any rate, what 1t was
that he was going to preach to them,
viz: the old gospel-not as some
would like to have him preach 1t.
He said that the early disciples
had hard time to keep their heads
on their shoulders, that they spoke
in the streets and landed in the
cooler" and still it is sometimes
hard for preacher. to keep from
losing his head.
He plead for the tired workingmen
to come, the factory girls, the tele-
phone and store girls. He prayed
that he might say something to help
the boozer cut out his booze.
There is no use waiting on God If
we keep God waiting for us to do
something we ought right now to do.
%Church member! Do you know
that somebody is stumbling right in
to hell over your life? Every church
has some such members.
There is lot of this, Good Lord,
good devil truck. You can't be a
christian and live like the world"
The evangelist told the story of
the darkey that admitted that he had
done about all the wicked and mean
things on the calendar, mentioning
them in apparent humility, and then
said, "But bless the Lord, never dun
lost my religion"
How can you expect the mer-
chants to have respect for religion
when good share of their dead
beats are church members. You sis
ters need not look around at the
men, either.
You don't pray enough to keep
the preacher warm. You shut the
preacher up in an ice box and then
blame him because he doesn't sweat"
The evangelist's words were es-
pecially strong In his appeal to loyal
ty and service, action and quick re-
sponse to the need. Stand up and
do your service for Christ. Many of
you are living the religion of the
Twenty third Pslam, where it says,
Thou makest me to lie down
A preacher once made an un-
happy remark at a funeral service.
Rending over the coffin he said, his
corpse has been member of my
church for twenty years. But this
remark might often be truthfully
made Dead Christians!" Here he
aptly quoted: Il know thy works
that thou hast name to live and art
dead.
The great sermon closed with a
thrilling appeal to the Christians to
be soldiers for His love whose name
they bear.
Dr. Biederwolf was much pleased
with the first meeting and is assured
of great campaign in this city.
A meeting for men only will be
held Sunday afternoon in the Audi
torium. Dr. Biederwolf will preach
on the White Life" the sermon he
preached to 10000 men in Balti-
more.
At the same time a meeting for
women only will be held in the
Presbyterian church. Miss Parshall
will speak.

gan by telling the purpose of the

former accomplishments.
Very little evangelistic work was
done by the minister last night
Time was too short. The meeting
was not called until late and much
had to be said by way of getting the
campaign started DR. Biederwolf is
mot only a talker, he is an actor, and
Anacts the different characters he
pJrtrays. So enthusiastic was his
audience when called upon to sing
''HalIelejah' that the echoes of the
song could be heard several blocks
away. During the meeting Homer
Rhodeheaver, choir director, trom-
bone soloist and baritone, rendered
several selections.
DR.. Biederwolf's audience was Of
all classes. Men of means and lab
orers, church workers and persons
who have not been inside a church
in years, professional men and one
time drunkards sat side by side,
class distinction eliminated, all in
tently absorbed in the meeting
Preparations are being made to
have tonight larger crowd than
that of yesterday, and indications
are that the preparations win not be
}5laa-yain.

meeting win be held in the Auditor
ium, In New Brunswick avenue, for

FLORIDA LAUNCHED
AMID THE GREATEST ENTHUSIAST
Vast Crowd Cheers as the
Big Vessel Enters the
Water Today.
GREATEST FIGHTING SHIP
NOW AFLOAT

New York, May 12.-As the new
Dreadnought Florida, the most power
full battleship yet added to the United
States navy glided down the ways at
the launching this morning enthusl-
astic cheers rolled from the throats Of
crowd of 10000 people.
The vessel is the largest ever sent
overheard from this yard, and as
consequence the authorities took un-
usual precautions to guard against any
mishap to river craft.
The vessel was launched with a
large part of her machinery installed,
with her rudder in place and with her
propelers shipped. So instead Of float
ing like a shell, as most vessels do
when launched, this heavily weighted
giantess created quite wave as she
slid into the water. To prevent this
wave from causing injury to harbor
craft, Rear Admiral Leutze, command
ant of the yard, established water
police of revenue cutters, lighthouse
tenders and such other craft as was
available. Captain @. MGR. Winslow,
supervisor of the harbor, had command
of this detail and from 10 a. m. until
after the launching he saw that the
river traffic was confined to a narrow
space along the New York shore.
Miss Elizabeth Fleming, daughter OF
former governor Of Florida. christ
ened the vessel. She was attended by
staff Of pretty Florida girls.
1t was at first expected that Presl-
dent Taft would be on hand to see the
latest American warship slip over
board, but Vice President Sherman
was there in his place. Many other no.
table persons were also there, includ-
ing Secretary of the Navy Meyer, As
sistant Secretary Beekman Winthrop,
Governor Gilchrist Of Florida and his
staff, Governor Hughes and his staff
and many navy officers, active and re-
tired, including Admiral Dewey and
Rear AdmiraIs Evans, Sperry, Schroe-
der and Leutze.
This was the first vessel launched at
the Brooklyn yard since May, two
years ago, when the collier Vestal was
launched.
Besides the governor Of Florida and
Miss Elizabeth Fleming, who christen-
ed the new vessel, there were also
many. officers and business men from
that state at the launching.
The navy yard was gay. with decora-
tive bunting, and bands from various
ships added to the ardor Of the oc-
casion.
The Florida when in commission will
be the most formidable war vessel
afioat.
