Evangelist Brown Breaches Strong Forceful Sermon on Near Distance From World to Kingdom of God. A Large Audience

The preacher announced the text, Thou art near the kingdom of God" and then proceeded to preach a strong sermon on One More Step, calling upon the assembled hundreds in the great Tabernacle at the corner of Polk and First Streets, to take the step that will put tehm on ha side. The service was no less Interesting and impressive than the others that have preceded it, in fact if anything, it showed more in terest. Numbers went to the altar at the close of the service and still more stayed for the after service.
 The plans for today contemplate the continuation of the addresses upon the Holy Spirit" at the 10 o'clock hour in the morning, the continuous prayer meeting at Central church from 11:30 night There will be a special section reserved tonight for the members of young peoples societies.
 Epierams of Last Night
 You are standing, where one step would put you on the other side :"
 T get so tired of a Wishy -Washy re- ligion, that l hardly know what to do."
 Jesus never said love your neighbor as your mother, you couldn't do that, He never said love him as you love your wife, you couldn't do that; but H said love your neighbor as yourself and if you don't do that you had bet ter go and look into the glass for there is something wrong with you''
 T am a child of eternity. I shall live on after the stars are pulled out of their sockets, and your neighbor is just as much an eternity bound soul as you are and tell me that you have thought along this line and yet you would sit there and never talk to your neighbor. the trouble is, you have never thought"
 There was never @ man so low that 1 Jesus can't save him"
 You can't make the old vicious dog kind by painting the kennel with a mild color"
 If down in your heart there is a de- sire to follow Christ, if you will follow that desire it will certainly lead you l to the kingdom of God" Do you know there is certain so- cial society whose members are afraid i to come out for Christ for fear that | they will be expelled from the social 1 set, now if that's your caliber go l ahead"
 1 If you don't believe in God, don't believe in Christ. don't believe in heav- | n oil T. lieve the grave is the end then I haven't a word to say to you. but thou are near the kingdom of God, and one step will put you out in the clear, are you going to take it?"

been apprised of early action by any railroad company and the incorporators of the Tucson, Phoenix and Tidewater did not have in mind the good inten- tions of the club.
 But" said one of the incorporators yesterday" that sum would be accept able to be used in payment for rights of way that will be needed" As to the financial affairs of the company. the incorporators said there was nothing at present that could be given out. There are many details yet to be ar ranged but that will be done as eXpe- ditiously as possible. When everything has been arranged, the work of con- struction will be begun from both ends of the line.
 The question of the sale of stock and the issuance of bonds was laid before the corporation commission yesterday by Judge Hawkins and Judge Kibbey. Commissioners Cole and Jones only, were present Formal application will be made shortly. The commissioners have indicated a friendly attitude to- ward the enterprise as they might, considering the character of the incor- porators, their financial standing and the probable relations of the proposed line It was not apprehended that ser ious objection would arise from any quarter to the granting of the franchise asked for by the company and de- scribed in the ordinance presented last night While there was some objec- tion, it was not intended to block the entrance of the company, but to find way by which the interests of the property owners along Madison might be prot ected
 An interesting fact in connection with the filing of the articles yester- day. is that this is the first move to- | ward railroad building in Arizona since it's admission to statehood
 A fight developed in the city counci l last night over the proposition of the Tucson, Phoenix and Tidewater rail- , road company's request of the city council for a right of way along Madl- son street, in the near vicinity of the property that has been purchased fol i terminals for the new company. Th' opposition, however, was upon the sub 1 ject of the probable damage to thu street and not to the coming of th' railroad.
 Quite a lively argument developed between representatives of the prop erty owners and Judge Kibbey, wh
 was spokesman for the company. c. H Pratt, George H. N Luhrs, c. M. Sur ges and H. w. Ryder appeared for tn
 property owners Finally it was decid ed to put the matter up to a committe
 composed of three representatives o
 the property owners and three of tn
 railroad company to report back to tn
 council next Monday.
 A form of deed and notice of vaca
 ton of the street were submitted t
 the council. Following this, the counc
 ordered the warrants drawn for tn payment of s12,00O for the Christy par
 site. and of s12,5O0 for the Eastlals
 Park, and announcement was mad
 that the Monihan property will be wis , ited today
 A communication was read from tn , Trades and Labor Council commendin
 the action of the council in opening

 It is said this does not involve a change of policy and that represen- tations made through the American government when General Carranza was at Nogales was because there was no British consular officer in that part of Mexico at that time.

Steps to Appeal

| Washington, April 7-lmmediate steps will be taken by the department of justice to appeal to the supreme court from the decision of the court of appeals in the case against the Della ware, Lackawanna and Western Rail- road company Attorney General Me- Reynolds tonight said he hoped to have
 the case up for argument during the fall term.
 Although officials here say today s result is not serious blow because it is not the final decision, it was evil dent that if the supreme court were
 to sustain the circuit court, the whole
 plan of the department to break up
 what 1t believes is a monopoly of sthe
 hard coal industry in eastern Pennsyl-
 vania would be in great danger.
 It was pointed out tonight, however,
 that while there are many points of
 similarity in the case against the Lack
 awanna and those against other roads in the anthracite region, there also are material points of difference and a de- cision in one case need not necessarily | indicate a similar decision in the others The Trenton decision caused great | interest in Washington tonight and if was predicted that there might be a revival in Congress of efforts to pre- vent, by specific legislation, such own ership of stock as the department of justice seeks to end under existing laws. The courts reference to the fact that there was no law to prevent such ownership in two allied companies was
 taken as a basis for the prophecies
 that Congress might busy itself with
 this subject.

 Alabama has done well to send In derwood to the Senate, He has reflected honor to the state in the discharge of his duties in the House of Representatives. He has become a national figure and has earned his promotion. The whole country will approve of Alabama s appreciation of his services.
 MT Vernon, when youth, lived at Fit. Payne, Ala, where his father was an edi- tor of Ft Payne paper
 Theodore Filler of the Washington Times and Atlanta Georgian paid this tribute to MT Underwood:
 Newspaper men who sit in the press galleries of Congress are trained and im- partial of the men and measures on the floor below. They see and dissect the ranting demagogue. the misfit the acci- forgotten, and the man really big and worth while.
 Since oscar w. Underwood became of prominence I do not recall that any Washington correspondent, regardless of political leanings, has been unaware of the courage, ability, manliness and states manship oi the Alabama man, or has withheld his tribute to htm. His popu- larity among his colleagues and the cor respondents who cover the capitol is an index to the man.

MINISTER GUILTY OF
 IMPRUDENT CONDUCT

New York. April 7.--Guilty of "impru- dent and unministerial conduct" was the verdict of the court of the New York conference of the Methodist Episcop church today against the Rev. Dr. Ja6, E. Price of the Washington Heig
 church, defendant on charges made : women members of his congregation.
 Two other specifications, one acct
 pr. Price Of immortality in conduo ! violation of the moral law" and f other of indulgence of sinful tenn and words" were not sustained.
 It was the judgment of the commit i which reported to the conference {
 Dr. Price should be and hereby is monished," as a result of his convictl on the first specification.
 Bishop Luther B. Wilson, presiding at the conference, directed the conference to receive the findings of the committees without any expression of approval or disapproval. The court did not find Dr. Price guilty of acts sufficiently fragrant to demand a change of pastorate, for in the list of changes for the ensuing year, as read by Bishop Wilson, Dr. Priee retains his Washington Heights pulpit.

LIGHT WITHOUT HEAT
 NEAR POSSIBILITY

Cincinnati. April That light with out heat is near possibility and that water vapor does exist in volcanoes was brought out today in addresses at the convention of the American Chemical association. The heatless light possi- bil1ty was discussed by Prof. w. b. Bancroft of Cornell, who said he had achieved what he denominates a light known as the electric firefly." This light is produced by electricity and re- sembles the phosphores cent light of a firefly. but as yet is not commercially available.
 Prof. Arthur L. Day. head of the physio- chemical library at Washington read paper on '"The Chemical Problem of An Active Volcano" He said he had found water vapor in volcanoes, a mat ter which scientists have disputed. He also said that, contrary to popular be- lief he had found the temperature al the mouth of a volcano higher than in its interior.
