Billy Sunday Opens Cam
paign With TRADE on
Smoky City Folks.

PITTSBURG, Dec. 30.-"Come on,
you forces of iniquity in Pittsburg that
have made the church a cuspidor and
a doormat to wipe your dirty feet on.
Come on you traducers. Come on you
triple extract of infamy! Come on you
assassins OF character! Come on you
sponsors of harlotry. Come on you
defamers OF God and enemies of the
church! Come on you bullnecked,
beetle-browed, hog-jowled, peanut
Drained, weasel-eyed, four-flushers,
false alarms and excess baggage!
In the name of God | challenge and
defy you. 1t is mighty easy to lie
about man when he isn't on the job.
I'm here now for eight weeks. Come
on and I'll deliver the goods, express
prepaid!
Why, an angel of heaven could not
come to Pittsburgh, live for q day with
the people you live with and then get
back into heaven without being bathed
in lysol, formalin, carbolic acid, ether
and bichloride of mercury"
This was the declaration of Rev, DR..
William A Sunday to 1900 persons
who greeted him in the BellefieId ia B.

PLOT TO DYNAMITE
IS NOW SUSPECTED

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 29.-Police
today said they had obtained evidence
that Charles King, one of the three
men arrested on a sailboat laden with
explosives and firearms, had a long
record as a dynamiter in the east.
They said a confession was expected
later today from H. G. Hannon, the
youngest of the trio, who was carrying
an Industrial Workers of the World
card when he was arrested. Joseph
Brown, the third prisoner, refused to
talk.
From the actions of the three men,
detectives working on the case said
today they were convinced when Han
non confessed he could relate a plot
to dynamite the tower which carries
the cables which supply San Francis
co and other cities on the bay with
electric light and power.

MANY THRoNG INQUEST

CALUMET, Mich, Dec. ga
crowd that filled the Red Junket town
hall and theatre building and over
flowed into the streets, gathered TO-
day to attend the public inquest into
the deaths of seventy-two persons in
the Calumet Christmas eve panic dis
aster. Coroner Fisher ordered that
the crowd be quiet, and threatened
with election from the hall any one
who interrupted.
Several hundred surged about the
doors unable to press inside the
building. Tall miners who had gained
positions in the door way shouted back
to the outsiders what was going on in
side the building.
Trouble was anticipated. Affidavits
obtained by the coroner and his depu-
ties give more than a score of differ
ent versions of the panic. Several
persons who were scheduled to appear
as witnesses today had made affidavit
that the cry of fire was raised by
man who wore a button of the Citi-
zens' Alliance. Others swore that the
man who started the stampede wore
no insignia whatever.
The man has been described in
sworn statements as wearing a heavy
black beard, smooth face except for
mustache, absolutely smooth faced,
middle aged, youthful, we'll dressed,
shabbily clothed, sober and intoxi-
Gated.
Many members of the Citizens Alli-
ance, an organization of business men
of the Calumet district who are hostile
to the cause of the striking miners,
were in the crowd that filled the halls
this morning to offer testimony re-
futing the charge that the panic was
planned by the Alliance.
Funerals of seven more of the vic
tins were held today. The funeral
committee of the Western Federation
of Miners directed the burials.

Board of Works Gives West
Side Improvement AssOcia-
ton Chance to Present
Definite Proposal At Meet
ing Next Monday.

To give the West Richmond I'M
provement association an opportunity
to present the board Of public works
definite proposition regarding the
change in the grade on the Main
street hill and the raising of the
bridge, action on the proposed paving
of Main street from Fourth to Second
streets was postponed until Monday
morning
Arguing that citizens are losing time
and power Ginning the hill each year,
t. c. Hubbard, representing the I'm
provement association, said the city
officials placed in office to do the bid
ding Of the people could raise the
bridge in two years, and should do so
before going to the expense of paving.
He said the citizens were demanding
the raising of the bridge and the eli
mination of the grade. He further con-
tended that fill from the east end of
the bridge to Third street would Gre
ate 900 feet of property frontage which
would be of great value in a few
years.
Points To Crossing.
To provide for the crossing of the
c. and o. Hubbard said a regular
grade crossing would have to be estab-
lished.
II. r. Robinson, representing the
Robinson company, doubted if it were
policy to abolish the present overhead
crossing and make a grade crossing
when under present conditions the
people on the streets are safe from the
railroad trains. He said in reply to
Hubbard's statement that the inter
urban tracks made the overhead bridge
dangerous, that a grade crossing would
more than double the danger to chill
dren and everyone who crossed the
tracks.
City cars, interurbans, wagons. mo-
tor cars, and persons on foot, he said
would have to stop before crossing the
tracks.
Mayors View.
IF you or the West Richmond I'm
provement association can go before
the county commissioners and get
them to order the Main street bridge
raised or replaced with a concrete
structure, l will be in favor of post
poning the pavement of the Main
street HILL" said Mayor Zimmerman,
explaining his attitude to Mr.. Hub
bard.
But you cannot get them to do it,
1t will be fifteen or twenty years be-
foge any thing is done with the bridge"
the mayor continued. I'm the mean
time it would be economy to have the
street paved. 1t is continually washing
out and has to be repaired with mac
adam several times a year"
That the citizens would oppose any
attempt to make a grade crossing on
Main street was the firm conviction of
Mayor Zimmerman and members of

ROAD SUPERVISORS
JOBS IN POLITICS
New Law Provides Election
of Officials But Prescribes
No Method.

Auditor Bowman discovered today
that some serious entanglements are
To be expected unless some immediate
sters arc taken to straiehter out the
mix up arising from the new Law re
Iating tc the election OF tow nship road
supervisors.
The bill passed by the last legisla-
ture provides that the supervisors
shall be elected at the general election
in the fall No provision is made as to
how they shall be voted for. Thus
there may be three precincts and sew
eral more road districts in town
ship. These precincts and road dis
tricts may fail TO coincide. The law
does not specify whether the super
visors shall be elected from the town
ship at large, or be the residents OF
their own districts according to the
present custom.
Goes into Politics.
Then again, by having the supervis-
ors elected at a general election, in
stead of at a special election. as has
been the rule for several years. the Of
flee will be thrown i2to politics with
which il has never been associated
since the organization of the state.
Instead of the several candidates
gathering at the country school house
on the day set for election and an
nouncing their candidacy there and
being selected on their merits on their
need of the office, they must now Sc
cure their party nomination and make
the same race for election the same as
other office seekers.
This VIII mean that Progressives
seeking this office will be compelled TO
seek the endorsement Of a party pri-
mary next spring Auditor Bowman
will confer with the attorney general
next week on the manner In which the
supervisors must be voted for under
the provisions Of the law.

Board of Works
Routine Matter

Orders for the paving of two streets
were confirmed by the board of public
works Monday, and remonstrance on
the paving Of North Tenth street was
referred to the new council which will
hold it's first session the evening of
January S.
Without protest or remonstrance the
board confirmed the resolution to pave
East Main street from Twenty-second
to the corporation line. The city's part
of the Improvement was established as
$1,000. For the paving in front of Glen
Miller park the city will be assessed
as any other property owner, in addi-
ton to the $1,000.
AS the remOnstrance against the
improvement of Neff street from Fort
Wayne avenue to Sixth street and
North Sixth street to the Pennsylva-
MIA tracks was not signed by a resi-
dent property holder, the board con-
firmed the resolution. The city's part
was determined as 81 500. The railroad
company objected on the grounds that
1t would interfere with changes at the
freight station which were being con-
templated.
Referred to Council.
Fourteen OF sixteen resident prop
erty owners demonstrated against the
paving of North Tenth street from J
to H streets. After establishing $4,000
as the city's part, the board referred
the remonstrance TO council.
An assessment roll on the opening
and widening OF West Sixth street to
the Knollenberg lane was ordered. The
board approved the primary assess
ment roll on the improvement of
streets in the Reeveston addition. The
total cost was s18,121S0, of which the
city pays $15459
Herman Zwicker was relieved of
S74,53 on the anal hearing of the as
sessment roll of South Seventh street
from j to L. This amount was assess
ed against Lots l, 9, 10 and II, owned
by H. H. and Josephine Runge. Mr.
Zwicker complained against the high
assessment, which in his case amount
ed to almost $4,000. said that such a
course pursued by the board of works
would reduce the citizens to beggars
instead of making honest taxpayers
of them.
Widening of North Third street,
near D, viii occupy the time Of the
board of public works at a session
Wednesday morning. City Engineer
Charles has been ordered to present
plans for the proposed change. The
sentiment of the board is that con-
demnation proceedings should be in
stituted against abutting property at
once.
The board will not meet Thursday,
New Years day, but has set Friday
as the day of hearing On the vacation

which passes through the property
