MISSING MAN
IS LOCATED
IN KING ST.
Veteran Bell Ringer Of st.
Peters Church Found In
Semi-Dazed Condition.
SPENT FOUR DAYS IN
SMALL HUT

James Foster, the veteran sexton
Of st. Peters Episcopal church, who
so strangely disappeared last We'd
| nesday morning, after turning over
the keys of the church to one of the
trustees, was discovered Saturday af-
ternoon in a small hut in the rear OF
George Stilwell's plumbing shop in
King street. The aged bell ringer
was in a semi-dazed condition, and
It is thought that a recent sickness,
combined with worry over several
supposed troubles, have affected his
brain. The old man was taken to
police headquarters and later con-
yeyed to his home.
1t was through an account Of Fos-
ter's disappearance published in Sat
urday's issue of the EVENING
NEWS, that his whereabouts we're
ascertained by his sister-in-law, Mrs.
Kate Dunham, Of Linden street, with
whom he boarded.
John Tierney, of Kearny avenue,
who is employed by Stilwell, read
the story and remembered having
seen Foster several times making
his way in and out of an alley lead
ing to the rear OF the shop. He tel
I ephoned to the police. and Detective
Sergeant HUFF was sent to investi-
gate.
The detective found the old man
/ in the hut, together with two other
men, whom the police claim are
! idlers. He was asleep, and after be-
| ing awakened was taken to the po-
lice station, from where his relatives
were notified. Rev. James L. Lam
caster, pastor of st. Peters church,
was also notified, and both the rela-
tives Of Foster. and the pastor came
to the station house.
The aged man was given lecture
/ by Chief of Police Burke, and then
turned over to his sister-in-law. Mr..
| Lancaster said he would reinstate
Foster as serton, provided his condi-
| ton would permit Foster will ap-
pear before the rector today for the
necessary test.
As told in Saturdays NEWS, Fos-
ter disappeared from home early on
Wednesday morning, after telling
Mrs. Dunham that he was going out
to bank the fires In the church. He
did not return for any breakfast or
dinner, and when night came, with
still no sign Of the old man, she be-
came alarmed and sent her son-in-
law, James Dunham, in search of
him. Dunham, after searching until
late, returned enpty-handed.
Foster is said to have resigned
from his sextonship because he was
pensioned for long service, and be-
cause his wages were decreased con-
siderably. Worry over this is said
by his relatives TO have affected his
mind, with the result that he left
home, feeling that ne would be un-
able to pay his board.

MEN REFUSE
THE TERMS
OF COMPANY
Senator Penrose Unsuccesst
tul in Ending Sig Strike
in Philadelphia. 8
He COMPtLs TRACTION
CO., TO mhkE OfbER

Special By United Press Wire. |
Philadelphia, March 214By q
vote Of seven to ten, the txscuLivs
committee of the local |eaFmen'S
union, after an ar night s9ssibn, to-
day rejected the proposition lof the
Traction Company for settleIent Of
the strike. Prospects Of further me-
gotiations until either the cbmpany
or the strikers admit defeat kre i'm.
probable. The company refuses to
allow the executive committee of the
union TO present. their grievances.
Ii was through the efforts Of Uni
ted States Senator Penrose that the
company made overtures to the men.
One by one he called before him tha
directors OF the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Company and forced them to
accept the terms that were outlined
by powerful financial interests
President Mahon, of the Amalga-
mated Association of Street Railway
Employees, this afternoon said the
men have made a counter PROPOSE
tion through United States Senator
Penrose, to be presented to the COM
pany today. The statewide strike 10
held in allegiance until all hope of
settlement is gone
Penrose brought his hand down on
the big table in his office with bang
that shook the chandeliers. He said
that he would break the Rapi.. Trans
it company into smash and scatter the
pieces over the streets If the directors
continued to hold out another hopx
He told them that he would uzpevery
ounce Of power he had to smash the
company II they continued to back
and I'LL.
He reminded them of the dubious
financial position they were in. He
threatened to get legislation that
would force them to make terms less
pleasant than had been submitted. He
more than hinted at a recelvership.
He spoke as man speaks when be
knows what councilmen dance when
the right strings are pulled He dared
the directors to risk acton by the
common and select councils
Officials Plead Fer Delay.
President Kruger. Vice President
Wolf and Chief Counsel Ballard plead
ed for delay. They wanted Mayor
John E. Reyburn to get the credit for
settling the strike Senator Penrose
waved all such suggestions aside.
There were two hours Of pleading on
one side and flatfoeted dietation on
the other. The situation was dra-
matte.
The Rapid Transit officials caved f1.
They agreed to everything that Sena-
tor Penrose demanded, guaranteeing
terms that give the earmen's union
nine-tenths Of everything they de-
manded. Even the recognition of the
Amalgamated union through a grew
ance committee Is included in the
capitulation.
Agrees to Take Back All Strikers-
First Of all, the company agrees to
take back all Of the men on strike
and to restore them to their old runs

PROCRESSIVES
WIN IN SENATE
specfa, BY United Press Wire.

Washington, March 21:-Rather
than suffer defeat similar to that ad-
ministered in the House Saturday,
the "old guard" in the Senate today
gave in to the Senate progressives.
Senator Cullom announced he would
not object further to having two
bills for protection of fur seals in
Alaska referred to the committee OF
national resources. The reference
was then made without debate.
Since last Thursday, republican
leaders have contended that the bills
should go to committee on foreign
relation. The progressives and the
democrats opposed this plan. A
count of noses showed the insur-
gents to be in control, and a final
vote was postponed until today. The
regulars were unable to produce suf-
ficient strength, so they surrendered
today.

Children often are highly logical,

They attain conclusions by those proc

Almost everybody, for instance, has

supposing that n good Christian
should pray for an east and another

naive solution recently offered by a
thoughtful youngster for the ever per.

The child was talking with another,
who asked the vexed and puzzling

that he didn't believe that prayers
were answered, because be never got

CITY LEAGUE STANDING,

Yesterdays results in the City
Baseball League caused the Marions
to tighten their grasp on first place
and the Danish Sociable Athletics to
nestle closer to the stellar position,
In the first game the Danish Socia-
bles walloped Waters Nationals to
the tune of 13 to II, and in the sec
ond the Marion A. G. put away the
Lyceum F. c. with the tally IL to 8.
The Lyceums ascension caused the
Marions to win as easily as they did.
When the Marions commenced to
score there was no halt until twelve
circuits of the bases had been made.
The clever head work displayed by
the Danish Sociables, coupled with
hits at opportune moments, gave
them the decision over Waters
crowd, despite the fact that the
Nationals secured fifteen hits.
The first contest between the D.
S. A. c. nine and the Nationals was
the. best of the two. Each team took
turns at a batting rally. The Danes
had theirs in the third and the Ma
tionals in the fourth. At the begin
ming of the sixth inning the score
was tied, 9 to 8. The Danish Socia-
bles put one over in their half of
the sixth and then three in the
stretchful seventh. The game was
by no means over at this juncture.
The Mats" kept up their good hit
ting stride to the finish. They. scored
in the eighth and then again in the.
ninth. In the ninth they had three
on base with an excellent opportunl-
ty to tie the score. The opportune
hit failed to arrive and there was
CONSERVATION in the National camp.
The Nationals were crippled by
the absence of a regular catcher.
Mulherin served as best he could
until he became fatigued. On the
d. S. A. C.. side all went merry. The
hits came at the right time. Yenk
deserves credit for his excellent stick
work. The score:
