Offering up to 100000, and hundreds
of business firms have been asked TO

Figuring that half the total number
at the three meetings contributed bills,
there would be at least 100000 taken
up altogether. The church collections,
if averaged at $50 each. would mean
$4,000 more. The ten collections at
the Tabernacle meetings during the
week probably yielded an average Of
81 900 meeting, making $4,000 add
tionsl, or total for the Tabernacle

To this must be added at least S2o,-

cash the evangelist has already re

uled for tomorrow will have an added
attraction in Secretary Bryan, who
will come from Washington to talk on
temperance with Billy Sunday.

the United States transport Crook,
watching the flight. He said he heard
cracking sound like the breaking or

monoplane began to plunge toward the
bay. It fell only a few feet away from
the transport.
That Beachey was still alive when ne
struck the water and had sustained no
major injury as result of the fall eN-

pressed by DR.. David F. Stafford, au-
