SUNDAY DECISION NEXT WEEK
Conference of Pastors and Laymen
to Vote on Coming.

Consideration of the question of invit-
ing Billy Sunday to Washington for a
series of evangelistic meetings will be
given by nearly 400 clergymen and lay
men from all churches of this city at a
meeting to be held in one of the churches
next Wednesday night. This was de-
cided by the special committees Of lay
men and pastors in joint session at the
Y. NJ c. A. yesterday afternoon. The
church in which the meeting Is to be
held is to be announced as soon as ar
rangements can be completed.
Mr.. Sunday requires that an invitation
to visit any city must be extended by all
the pastors of all the churches and re-
ligious organizations of the city. This
brings the decision outside the jurisdic-
ton Of the pastors federation, which
does not include in its membership thir-
ty-flve or forty of the churchmen.
At the conference next week each
church will be represented by its pastor
and one layman. Details will be ar
ranged at that time. II the decision is
favorable.

ATLANTIC CITY, n. j., July IL
Harry K. Thaw, who arrived here. late
last night, after having been set free
under bail by the New York supreme
court, took two dips in the ocean today
and shook hands with hundreds of
persons.
Early in the day he stunned the
crowds that fingered about the corri-
doris of the beach front hotel where he
is staying. Later he disregarded the
gaze of the curious and did about as
he pleased.
He told newspaper men, who are con-
stantly with him, that he would go to
Philadelphia late Sunday afternoon, re-
main there over night and leave for his
home in Pittsburgh some time Mon
day.
Thaw spent the forenoon in his room.
About noon he tried to take a stroll
along the Boardwalk. A crowd soon
followed him and he sought relief in a
public bathhouse.
There he hired bathing suit and
took plunge in the ocean under the
eyes of his private detectives. Hun
dreds of persons stood on the wooden
way there in the sand to watch him
disport himself in the water.
During the afternoon the slayer of
Stanford White went a shopping
tour. At > o'clock he took his second
bath.
Wherever he went Thaw was follow
ed by crowds. He was constantly
stopped by men and women who want
ed to shake his hand. one woman
leaned out of rolling chair. grasped
his hand and said:
My dear boy, / want to tell you how
glad ] am that you are free. / am
glad for your mothers sake.
