REV. DR.. KELLY Defends.
BASEBALL EVANGELIST.
Washington Minister Denies Billy Sum-
day Is Saving Souls to
Make Money.
PASTORS HEAR REPORT TODAY

"Misrepresentations that have been
circulated in regard to Billy Sunday. the
ex-bau player evangelist. are entirely un-
founded" said Rev. Joseph T. Kelly. of
the Fourth Presbyterian Church, last
night.
The imputation that Mr.. Sunday is
preaching the gospel and saving souls
as a money making proposition is SIAN
derous. ! have had the opportunity dur
ing the last week. in Scranton. Pa. Of OBJ
serving Billy Sunday closely and OF
knowing him intimately as well as learn
ing the inner workings Of his marvellous
system of evangelism To build and
maintain his large tabernacle which is
built in each city; to manage his big
force of workers, and to run such great
organization as his revival camp. re-
quires thousands OF dollars. The ex-
penses are guaranteed him before he
comes to a city in case the collections
fail to reach the amount needed to keep
his organization going. On the last day
of his stay in a city, the public Is given
the opportunity-no appeal Is made-to
make contributions. II any man wants
to make a personal gift to him 1t is no
other PERSONS business
Il was spoken Of yesterday in one of
the local papers," continued DIR. Kelly,
''as a investigator sent to Scranton to
observe Billy Sunday and his methods
I deny this and say that my trip to
Scranton was an entirely personal affair.
1 carried a letter of Introduction to Mr..
Sunday and was close to him during the
week"
The Pastors Federation is to meet this
morning at the Y. NJ. c. A, and hear
the report of Rev. w. w. Barnes. chair
man OF the committee appointed to in
vestigate Sundays methods and to con-
slider the advisability of calling him to
Washington. DR.. Kelly will make no re-
port on his visit to Scranton, but said
last night that he probably would take
part in any general discussion at the
federation meeting.
In Scranton during the three or four
weeks Sunday has been there he has
made 1000 conversions. School children.

THE NILE JOURNEY.
Realistic Views and Fine Lecture
by Dwight EImendOrf.

Dwight Elmendorf gave a new lecture
on The Nile Journey before an appre-
ciative audience that filled the National
Theater last evening. He led the way
from picturesque Cairo, by means of
artistically colored still views and real
istic motion pictures. up the marvellous
river, through stretches OF country in
exhaustibly rich in historic interest. to
wadi HaIfa, and thence across the Nu-
bian desert by train to Khartoum.
The ruined temples and cities. the great
pyramids of Gizeh and Sakkara, Men,
phis, the Sphinx. and many other mute
reminders Of the departed glories Of
other days in this ancient land were
vividly described and pictured in the
course Of the tour. The mysterious
desert-beautiful in its silence-comes
down to the rivers edge, and travellers
on the Nile steamers pass strange fish
ing boats, many black-skinned types Of
natives in varying degrees of undress,
praying Arabs-and lovely palm green is
lands-as Mr.. Elmendorf showed.
A film review and a word OF admiring
comment was given to the Assouan dam,
that fine bit of engineering which con-
trolls the waters of the Nile and causes
the Egyptian desert to bloom again.
Memories of Gen. Chinese" Gordon and
the tragic manner of his death were
evoked by excellent views of Khartoum
and Of Omdurman. The insistent ap-
plause accorded this pictured narrative
evidenced that THE Nile Journey was
the most delightful of Mr.. Elmendorfs
splendid series Of travel talks.

EFFORT MADE TO STOP
BASEBALL ON SUNDAY
Church Members of Anacostia and
Congress Heights Start Vigor-
GUS Campaign.

Efforts to stop Sunday baseball playing
in Anacostia and Congress Heights will
be made by church people Of these two
suburbs, led by three or four ministers,
1t is said they have been successful as
far as Congress Heights is concerned.
having received the promise of the leaders
OF baseball there that no games viii be
played on Sundays. In Anacostia. how
ever. they are experiencing some difficulty
in obtaining this promise.
The service yesterday afternoon at the
chapel at the Government Hospital for
the Insane was conducted by Rev. George
NJ. Cummings, pastor of Garden Memorial
Presbyterian Church. Prof. Edward T.
Davis. director of music at the same
church. was in charge of the singing.
Funeral services for John Morgan Phil
lips were held yesterday afternoon at the
home of his brother, Henry c. Phillips.
In Nichols avenue. Mr.. Phillips, who was
the son OF Mrs. Silvia L. Phillips, died
suddenly on March Is He had lived in
Anacostia practically all his life.
Mr.. and Mrs. William Lowe and daugh-
ter Jean, and Mrs. Annie Herbert, of
Portsmouth, Va, returned home yester-
day, after a visit to relatives in Ana
costa. They visited Mr.. and Mrs. o. s.
Pumphrey in Nichols avenue.
Violators Of traffic regulations In Ana
costa have been receiving little considera-
tion at the hands of the police of the
Eleventh precinct during the last few
days. and. as a result, several have been
obliged to leave collateral at the station.
The violations seem to apply principally
to the regulations concerning the proper
side of the street upon which to drive,
and the angle at which one must turn
corner.
The citizens will ask that the work of
improving Nichols avenue and the ap-
proach to the bridge be begun as soon
after July l as possible. in order that the
much complained of condition of these
thoroughfares may be eliminated. The
money is available for the approach, and
indications are that IL will be available
soon for Nichols avenue. At the same
time, the railway company, in accordance
with the law passed in 1906. will be re-
quired to place its power underground as
far as Talbert street

GUIDE ASKS AID FOR
BOY SCOUTS TAG DAY
President of Chamber of Commerce
Urges Business Men to Dig Up"
Quarters and Dimes for Cause.
UNIQUE FEATURES PLANNED

That the Boy Scouts, who VIII have
their Tag Day next Saturday are well
thought of. is shown by the following
letter from President William F. GUIDE,
of the Chamber of Commences:
It's a better city to live in because
of the Boy Scouts.
II know of the work of the Boy
Scout organization through what the
organization has been doing in con-
nection with its cational work, not
only in Washington. but in many cities
throughout the country.
Recently the Chamber of Com
merce gave a banner to the troop of
Boy Scouts in the District passing the
best examination on knowledge con-
cerning this city. The interest which
the boys took in this examination In
dicates to me that this is one of the
most valuable educational, as well as
recreational, movements in the city,
and / therefore suggest to all Of our
business men to assist the boys in any
way possible on their Tag Day, April T.
Let us all encourage them to con-
tinue the fine work so successfully
started by contributing literally when
requested to do SO by the boys on Sat-
urday.
CSigned) WILLIAM F. GUIDE.
President Chamber Of Commerce.
A special class of tags is being made
to be sold to automobile and house
owners. The automobile owners who give
support to the movement will receive
tags printed with the words: Tag Day
Boy Scouts of America, Washington, d.
c." On the back of these tags will be
printed a series of questions and answers
concerning street safety. These ques-
tions, prepared by the District Street
Safety Association, are based on the ten
points of the scout law which require a
scout to be Trustworthy, loyal. helpful,
friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheer
full, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent."

PLEDGE THEMSELVES
TO PROTECT GIRLS
Hearers Stirred by Address of Rev.
Charles r. Dunn on Other
Fellows Sister"

The Other Fellows Sister,"
Or your own sister. how would you
have her treated?
With this as his theme, Rev. Charles
r. Drum, of New York, moved a big
audience of men yesterday afternoon
at Polls Theater. Before he was through
almost every man in the house pledged
himself in writing to protect the purity
Of girls.
On sex hygiene Rev. Mr.. Drum ex-
patiated at great length emphasizing its
academic Importance for boys and girls
and charging parents with responsibility
for all ignorance along s'lch lines.
The man who accomplishes a girls
ruin and then deserts her. to bear the
shame alone was held up as a villain
far worse than the one who waylays a
girl and violates her by force.
Intoxicating liquors are responsible
for most of the savage attacks of men
upon women" said Mr.. Drum. He also
scored the telling of vulgar stories.
Promise yourselves right now" he
exhorted, never to allow another bad
story to escape your lips"
Yesterdays meeting was the last of
the series. Henry B. F. mcfarland was
chairman. Percy S. Foster led in sing
ing several hymns and, Misses Berse
sang duets.

SEEK TO STOP NAVAL ACCIDENTS

A new machine by which II is hoped
means win be found to prevent the snap
ping of propeller shafts soon will be
tried out by the Navy Department.
Naval officers are satisfied that shafts
do not break because of flaws In the
steel, but because of peculiar vibrations
set up by the, speed with which the shafts
are turned. They are satisfied that IL
they can determine what speeds set up
dangerous vibrations In shaft. the
number Of such accidents can be reduced
materially on naval vessels.
The new machine Is a device for re-
,cording accurately the degree Of vibra-
tion in a shaft. II is proposed to set
the machine on a shaft, and then drive
the shaft at varying speeds, in order to
determine at what number of revolutions
Of the shaft there is the most dangerous
vibration.
