The Herald's policy of striving to af-

NO DECISION REACHED
ON BORDER QUESTION
Villas Washington Delegate May Be
Trying to Patch Up Settlement
of Naco Trouble.

No definite conclusion has yet been
reached regarding the situation on the
Mexican border at Naco and vicinity, ac-
cording to statements made by officials
here last night. On the other handsGen.
Scott, who Is representing the views of
the United States in the meetings with
the opposing commanders on the border,
is continuing his discussions with May
torena and Hill.
It is hoped that Maytorena, the Villa
commander. will see the reasonableness
Of the United States views about the
border situation and will also share the
opinion of Washington officials that II
is to his interest to accept the suggeS-
tons for an amicable agreement which
have been placed before him.
The attitude of the administration Is
still that of willingness to exhaust every
means available to avoid the necessity
of using force to protect the American
border towns. II has also reached ths
conclusion, however. that violation OF the
border by Mexicans has gone as far as
the United States ought to permit II to
SO, and that matters must be prevented
from reyerting TO the condition Of . few

BILLY sunday
INVADES PHILLY
Opens Nine Weeks Revival
Meeting in New
Tabernacle.
10000 HEAR HIM SPEAK
Gymnastic Religion Brings Shouts that
Are Heard for Blocks-Chal-
lenges Political Gang.

Philadelphia, Jan. 3.-The fastest base
runner the National League ever saw
leaped at a bound to the top of table
on the stage of his (BiIly Sunday's) brand
new tabernacle at Nineteenth and Vine
streets this morning, smacked his hands
together with a report like a rifle shot,
and raised his voice to a shrek:
Come on, you forces OF evil in Phila-
delphia that have made the church a
doormat to wipe your dirty feet upon;
come on, you triple extract of infamy;
come on, you assassins of character;
come on, you defamers of God and enc
mics Of His Church; come on, you bull
necked, beetle-broWed, hog-jOwled, pea
nut-brained, weasel-eyed fOurflushers,
false alarms and excess baggage; in the
name Of Almighty God l challenge and
defy you; I'm here for nine weeks. Come
on, and Ill deliver the goods,' express
prepaid
shout Heard for Blocks.
Billy Sundays voice died away to a
whisper. His breath came in gasps.
The sweat streamed from his face. He
let himself down from the table, caught
pitcher of water and drained a glass
at a gulp.
There was just a moment of silence
then the quiet was smashed by a tre-
mendous roar Nearly 10000 persons
rose up from the raw pine benches and
eased their feelings with a shout that
must have Jared Father Penn so high
and mighty on his high perch of the
city hall tower.
But the thing that counted-that ex-
planned the Rev. Billy's presence in
Philadelphia was the palpable satisfac-
tion OF joy and even exaltation of
hundreds of scholarly faced, gentle
spoken clergymen scattered through
out the congregation. There were 400
of them, representing most of the
Protestant churches OF the city and
their "Amens" and their fervent cries
and gestures endured long after the up
roar of the laymen had dwindled to a
murmur.

HIS MASTERS CELL FOR HIM.
Dogs Love Causes Him to BE
Locked Up with Owner.

Danville, Ill, Jan. 3.-One of the most
touching cases of a dogs love for its
master was demonstrated at the police
station here recently Monroe Jackson,
a full-bloOded Sioux Indian, was held on
a charge of drunkenness. Jackson had
a dog.
AS the dog refused to leave its master,
the police found it necessary to lock
up the animal with the Indian. When
separated, both were incOnsolable. Jack
son was recently travelling with a wild
West" show. The show went broke.
So did Jackson. but he managed to keep
his dog. When arrested the dog was at
his side. When Jackson was arraigned
in police court the dog went with him.
Jackson was sentenced to eight days in
Jail.
