LONDON, Feb. 20.-Dealings on the stock

showed the most strength. Buying of speeu-
lative issues for investment continued to de-
crease. The war loan was active. Brokers
reported that two-thirds Of their orders were
confined to gllt-edged and kindred securities.

favorable advice from New York but price
changes were narrow. Foreigners were firm

WOMEN FAINT IN
CROWD GATHERED
TO HEAR SUNDAY
Evangelist Talks to Packed
Theatre in MontcIair-Thou-
sands Unable to Get In.

More than l 800 people crowded into
hear Rev. Billy Sunday. Outside,
more than 1900 clamored for admit
tance. The crush was so great that
although the meeting was scheduled
to OPEN at 10 o'clock 1t was found
necessary to open the doors at $50
O'Clock. Several women tainted.
As fire headquarters is nearly op-
posite the theatre, Fire Chief Fred
erick e. williams feared that IL an
alarm was sent in some people might
get injured, and it was at his request
that the doors were opened early.
About 700 people were admitted. but
the pressure was so strong from the
outside several women tainted. The
mana cement then opened the theatre
doors and allowed the building to be
filed.
The theatre seats 1900. Before
o'clock there were over 5000 people
standing outside. Policemen walked
up and down the walks and Informed
the people that the theatre had been
filed and the crowd dispersed.
Mr. Sunday arrived promptly at IL
o'clock and plunged right into his SER
mon. His theme was "Be Ready Al
ways to Give An Answer to Every
Man That Asketh You Reason of
the Hope That Is in You"
He said man should be prepared
to tell why he is Christian just as
he would explain why he is Demo-
crat or a Republican. Death walks
up and down the streets Of Mont
clair" he said, "as well as in the city
slums. The rich can build beautiful
homes and can keep out the cold and
hunger, but they cannot keep out
death"
"There are some things no one can
explain. If the English language con-
tains a million more words, and |
was asked to explain my love for my
wife and children, could not do it.
THAT is one of the things you can
not describe, but you have the feel
ings i'm your heart. God gives us the
blessings of hearing and seeing and
all our other senses, and all He asks
of us is to be decent.

WOMAN MISSING
FOR TWO WEEKS
East Orange Police Asked to
Aid in Hunt for Miss
Theresa Cowan.

Deepest mystery wells the absence
of Miss Theresa Cowan, twenty-eight
years old, employed as a domestic at
the home of former Assemblyman H.
Stacey Smith, of 1873 Harrison street.
East Orange, who disappeared from
the Smith residence on Thursday.
April %. Mrs. Smith, concerned over
the absence of the girl, for whom she
mad the highest regard, has enlisted
the aid of Chief of Police w. H.
O'Neill in her search for the girl.
Miss Cowan departed from the
house while the Smith family was at
Hot Springs, and, as she took nothing
other than the clothes she had on,
Mrs. Smith and the police are baff1ed
about her whereabouts.
negro chauffeur employed by Mr..
Smith was the last to see the young
woman. He told Mrs. Smith he left
the house two weeks ago tomorrow,
and when he returned Miss Cowan
had left.
The girl was away from the house
in March, and when she returned she
told Mrs. Smith she had been in a
hospital. Her mistress can assign no
reason why the girl should leave her
employ, and Chief O'Neill says her
disappearance is a mystery to him,
because she left all her belongings
at the Smith residence. A sister of
the girl Elizabeth Cowan, employed
as a domestic at 127 East Thirty
sixth street New York, visited Chief
O'Neill last night, but she knew
nothing of the missing girls where
abouts.
The negro chauffeur was questioned
by the police head, but he could not
enlighten the chief, as he said the
only thing the domestic told him was
that she intended to go out for a
while the day she disappeared. Chief
O'Neill went to the girls room at the
Smith residence, and he says every
thing is intact there.
Mrs Cowan was q faithful worker
at the Smith house, the mistress told
the police, and she was always neat
in her work. Chief O'Neill has been
furnished with a photo Of the miss
ing woman. cd he is preparing to in
stitute a SSNA vide search for her.

HAS
ANEW WITNESS
IN CARMAN CASE
Accused Woman's Neighbor to
Testify on Scene at House
After Shooting.

MTNEOLA. l.. l., May with
steeled nerves, Mrs. Florence Carman
was prepared today to face the
heaviest onslaught of the States
principal witnesses in her trial for
the murder of Mrs. Louise Bailey in
DR.. Carman's office In Freeport last
June.
Celia Coleman, the negro maid in
the Carman home, was to take the
stand as the star witness for the
State. She was expected to testify
that Mrs. Carman ran through the
kitchen on the night the mysterious
shot was fired through the office win
dow and returned a moment later
with a revolver in her hand The
following morning, the maid was ex-
pected to swear Mrs. Carman con-
fessed that she was Mrs. Bailey's
slayer, and pledged the household to
secrecy.
District Attorney Smith today di-
vulged the identity of the new wit
ness he will introduce whose testi-
mony he declares will prove of great
value to the State. Mrs. w. w. Black,
next-door neighbor to Mrs. Car
man in Freeport. will testify in be-
half of the prosecution, he declared.
Mrs. Black will testify that on
June 80 last. the night Mrs. Bailey
was murdered. she was sitting on her
porch" Smith declared. She will
tell the jury that she heard an ex-
plosion, like a revolver shot, about 7
o'clock. At that time it was light
enough to see distinctly. She will
relate how she stayed on the porch
after hearing the explosion and how
she did not see anyone running across
the Carman yard. This will | think,
add great weight to my claim that
Mrs. Bailey's murderer did not leave
the Carman home as the defense al
leges."

GULFL|GHT CASE
Norway, Sweden and Holland
Watch Developments to
Shape Their Protest.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-That
Americas action in the matter of the
Gulfiight. Falaba, Frye and other
ships attacked or supposed to have
been attacked by German war vessels
is being watched by European neu-
trails with the most intense interest
was apparent from state department
Developments today.
Since the report of the disaster to
the Gulflight reached this country,
diplomats of two other neutrals have
called at the department "for news
of the Incidents according to their
own testimony, and one admitted that
the administrations action was being
reported in detail to his government.
Norway, Sweden and Holland dip
lomats said are in much the same
position toward Germany as is the
United States, all three having suf-
fered more or less from submarine
attacks, Norway, perhaps, most
heavily.
II was believed that any action
taken in Washington would be fol-
lowed by almost identical action by
these other neutrals. Officials today
pointed out one phase of the situation
as yet little commented on. the prac-
teal immunity enjoyed by Italian
vessels.
