BILLY SUNDAY THE
FAMOUS EVANGELIST
NEARLY ElECTROCUTED

Billy" Sunday. the base ball evan
gelist, who for the last few weeks has
been stirring up Danville. and has
taken particular active part in
the local option campaign in that city
and elsewhere in the state. was near
ly killed last Sunday. Monday he
was in a serious condition. and Will
not be able to preach for a week at
least For a while. following his ex-
perience. Sunday was in critical shape
and it was feared tIat he would not
survive.
When Sunday was struck by light
ming he was taking bath following
the big meetings he held Sunday aft
ernoon- Standing in the tub he went
to turn on the electric light that hung
directly over him. He did not know
that the light socket was defective
ard short-circuited. but reached up
his hand all dripping with water and
grasped the metal fixture.
A tremendous current of electricity
was precipated Immediately through
Sundays body, being accentuated BY
the fact that his hands were vet
and that he was standing In water.
and that the bath tub In turn rested
upon a tile floor. His body was there

current from the light circuit. a. II
leaped from the defective lamp fixture
to the ground.
The force OF the current twisted
Sundays body into a knot He could
not release his hold upon the lamp
socket, and rs the muscles contract
ed his body was drawn up out OF the
water and hung suspended for an In
slant Then the lamp fixture gave
way. and Sunday fell across the side
of the bath tub, seriously injuring
himself in the side
A yell which the evangelist gave
when the current struck him. follow
ing the sounds of his fall. brought
several to his assistance. AZ first II
was thought that the evangelist wac
dead, but he soon recovered conscious
ness. though greatly dased for hours
Three ribs. where he struck the bath
tub appeared little wobbly. and II
Is feared that they may be broken.
The severe shock threw Sunday into
an extremely nervous state. from
which he had not recovered Monday
morning.
1t was announced Monday morning
in Danville that Sunday would be un-
able to preach at the tabernacle for
at least several days. 1t IL possible

RESULTS.

At least twelve UNCONVENTIONAL
Laymcn's Missionary movements have
? already been organized. 10 secretaries
secured and others to be appointed.
As the movement Is ian inspiration.
not an administration" II has been
chiefly occupied with the presentation
l Of our adequate missionary policy and
the exploitation Of methods OF finance
The movement stands for invesu-
cation. agitation and organization.
The investigation by iaymen OF mis-
sionary conditions; the agitation by
1aymen OF adequate policy and the
organization Of laymen to cooperate
with missionary boards In enlisting
the whole church In its supreme work
OF saving the world.
Il is noteworthy that wherever the
movement has been presented. in
scores OF cities OF the United tSates
and Canada. II has received the en-
thusiastic commendation and COOP
Grafton of representative men.
A commission OF six iaymcn from
the United States and Canada pro-
scented II in Great Britain where II
was at once taken up and nationa,
committees organized both in England
and Scotland. 1t has since spread TO
Germany and Australia.
We are rapidly approaching the
time when tho christian men Of all
nations will be federated for coop

SPECIAL TRAIN WILL
CARRY l42 INSANE PEOPLE
FROM DENVER TO PUEBLO

A special train 10 carry 142 dement,
ed persons from Denver to the state
insane asylum in Pueblo. is to be
chartered by the county commission
ers OF Denver county about June 15.
when the new cottages at the asylum
are TO be ready for occupancy. In
sane persons to that number are
now being held in various institutions
in Denver at the expense of the coun-
ty, there being no room for them at
the state Institution. but when the
three cottages. each with a capacity
of 100 patients. are completed. there
will be room to receive the insane
from Denver. FL Paso and several
other counties and the entire crowd
from Denver will be taken In one
train
The train will be the most unique
that ever went over the rails In this
OF any other state and the chances
are that It will have a college picnic
party backed off the boards" Prac-
ticaliy all Of the passengers will be
those afflicted with the milder forms
OF insanity and no one that is consid-
cred violent will be admitted unless
II be under special guard. To the
unfortunates. the trip will seem like
a holiday excursion and sufficient
excitement Is expected TO keep the
train officials and guards awake dur
ing the trsp.
County Commissioners Harry
Hutchinson and J. P. Madden have re-
turned from Pueblo whsre they had
. meeting with the officials OF the In
sane asylum and the commissioners
OF Pueblo county relative TO the re-
movsl OF the insane patients from the
county Who are now being held M
Word auditorium There are now "a
such patients who are being kept AT
the expense of the county and ar
rangemsnts have been made TO have
them removed to the cottage additions
as soon as they are ready for occu-
pancy.
The buildings will be completed
about June i5.' said Mr.. Hutchinson
-and will provide for about 300 per-
sons. but this will not be nearly
enough to care for the states insane
and the question of more cottages will
have 10 be considered In the near fu-
ture- After the cottages are filled
here will still be a large overflow
from all parts Of the state that cannoi
he accommodated and the matter OF
new buildings ought to be considered

AS for the revenue II can be
judged how successful the new law
has been by the returns up to April
l. year ago at this time the re-
ceipts from all sources for the nine
months ending March 81 were about
$3.50 100000. while this year they are
about s4so.ooo.ooo. showing an In
crease of about 5000. 900. A year ago
the deficit was over $4,000, 900. while
at present 1t Is considerably under
sac. .oe0. 900. and there seems to be no
doubt whatever that II viii be wiped
out altogether by the end OF the fis-
cal year. and that. too, without con-
sidering the receipts from the corpor-
alton tax. which is estimated will be
from s25.ooo.Ooo to $50 1000 900. In fact
ms a revenue measure there has prob
ably never been a tariff law on our
Cañon City record., 1910-04-14

This result is distinct victory for
and a vindication OF the wisdom of the
republican leaders who framed the
tariff bill and has secured for this
country the best possible rates for
our exports into foreign countries and
at the same time has not in a single
instance brought on a commercial
war with any of these countries It
makes stronger than ever the state
ment made by President Taft and re-
peated by other republican leaders,
that the present tariff bill Is the best
law We ever had. For not only has
the new features which were engraft-
ed into the law been eminently sue
cessful. but the two greatest reasons
for a protective tariff. namely. seve-
nue. and protection. have both come to
us in surprising degree.

WASHINGTON LETTER

From Fridays Daily.
Washington. D. C.. April AT mid
night on March 81 the several features
OF the new tariff law which did not go
into effect at its enactment became
operative Among other such features
was the maximum and minimum clause
and SO efficacious was this new fea-
ture of our tariff law and so diplo-
matte has been our president and state
department that II is quite likely that
the maximum rates will not be ap-
piled to a single country. More than
one hundred proclamations have been
signed by President Taft granting
the minimum rates to various coun-
tries. including all the important COM
mereial nations.
