GOLDEN STREAM
FOR BILLY SUNDAY
Collections For the Evangelist
in Philadelphia May Reach
100000.

Philadelphia, March I5.-Tin pans
heaped with envelopes containing
money and loose notes, big tin bucket
loaded with cash, purse filled with
gold, and letters inclosing greenbacks
and checks came to Billy Sunday in the
free-will offering made by the revival
tabernacle at three big meetings yes
terday, while in 600 churches that are
back of the campaign separate collec-
tons were taken. There also will be
added to the las: day Offering the
amounts that were received at all the
Weekday meetings at the tabernacle
and the checks and cash received in the
mail
Exactly how much the committee ex.
poets to turn over to the evangelist In a
draft could not be learned, though
there is every evidence that the offer
ing will exceed 100000. Hundreds of
business firms have been asked to con-
tribute.
Figuring that half of the total num-
Der at the three meetings contributed
bills there would be at least $1,000
taken up altogether. The church COL
lections, if averaged at $50 each, would
mean $50, 0C0 more.
The ten collections at the meetings
during last week probably yielded an
average of $1,000 a meeting, making
$40, 900 additional, or a total for the
tabernacle and churches collections of
500, 900. To this must be added at least
$4,000 represented by the checks and
grtenoacks and gold sent to hin, per.
sonally.
Beside the cash. the evangelist al
ready has received gifts valued at fully
5000.

SWA7S SURETY cos.
Legislature Chastises Bonding Con-
Germs ON Charge Of Bad Faith.

Bonds furnished by surety COM
panies which refuse to face suits
brought in state courts when an effort
is made to recover losses sustained by
Kansas local or state government
through derediction of officers
for whom the bonds are furnished,
came under the fire Of the senate this
morning in connection with an argu-
ment over the character of bond to be
furnished by the superintendent of
the refOrmatory for money handled
for the Irvine plant proposed to be
established there.
The superintendent must put up a
personal bond of $4,000 instead of a
surety bond of 100000 as proposed
in the original bill. the difference be-
ing due to the fact that surety COM
panies doing business here have TAX
en- advantage Of a supreme court de-
cision and refused to stand suit in
state courts.
Until the supreme court decided
their agreement was invalid, the
surety companies behaved themselves
and stood by their agreement to stand
suits in Kansas courts" said Senator
Noah L. Bowman. but since then
they have used the decision to carry
cases into the federal courts. l sup
pose il we begin drawing the line on
the surety bonds they will come back
and do business on the square again %
The senate agreed with him and
called for personal bond.
