BILLY SUNDAY

Billy Sunday, the most pictur-
esque evangelist that ever stood in
any pulpit in this land, is the theme
of endless discussion just now :.
There are those who can think OF
nothing too bitter to say against
him, and those who can think of
nothing high enough in his praise,
those who condemn him and those
who think him a bidder for cheap
notoriety, and those who consider
him as a preacher without an equal.
One of the fairest estimates that
has yet appeared concerning the
greatly discussed evangelist is by DR..
E. Y. Mullins, head of the great
Baptist Theological Seminary in
Louisville. The criticism appeared
in the Literary Digest and is WORTHY
of production:
Billy Sunday is to be estimate ted

PITTSBURGH STRIKE
Commissioner JacksOn's System
Works in Effecting Mediation
in Wage Dispute

The strike of the journeymen plas-
terers and lathers in Pittsburgh, which
has tied up building operations in that
city since April, was adjusted through
arbitration brought about by the De-
partment of Labor and Industry.
The department was represented by
Patrick Gilday the mediator of the
department, and James A. Steese, chief
clerk, who was the personal repre-
sentative of Commissioner John Price
jackson. The men returned to work
and business operations throughout
the city were again resumed. The de-
partment officials were engaged on the
work for the last two weeks, which re-
suited in successful settlement of the
troubles by arbitration. The arbi-
traitors were William A. Way, Judge
of the common pleas court of Allie
gheny county; John c. Schreiner, of
the Building Exchange, representing
the employers. and Edw. T. Welsh, of
the Building Trades Council, repre-
Senting the employees.

JOYR|DERS' RAM
INTO STONE WALL
Woman Seriously Hurt Is Belief;
Hit Bridge Coping at
Dauphin

Three women and the driver of a
jitney, said to belong to C. D. Hauck,
OF Fourteenth and Derry streets, were
thrown to the roadway, but escaped
uninjured, early this morning when
the machine struck the end of the
coping of the bridge across the creek
Just above the station at Dauphin.
So far as known, all escaped serious
injury, although one of the women is
reported to have broken hip, but this
could not be verified. The front axle
of the machine was bent double and
the spring smashed.
Every effort was made to conceal
the identity of those in the machine.
From witnesses who heard the crash
1T was learned that three women and
man were seen to pick themselves
from the dust of the bridge after the
machine rammed the stone wall. Some
say the quartet started to walk toward
the city, while others assert a passing
auto was stopped and an injured
woman placed in il.
The license number on the wrecked
machine is said to be 12193S. At the
state Highway Department IL was said
this tag was issued to Mary Keiss, of
Williamsport. The jitney license on
1t was issued to Mr.. Hauck, who is the
owner of several jitneys. Efforts to
locate Mr.. Hauck to get from him the
name of the driver of the machine
were futile

NO "SMOKE OF BATTLE" IN
MODERN WARFARE

One of the marked features of the
European conflict that distinguishes
it from the wars of the past is the
absence of smoke on the firing lines.
Owing to the use of smokeless powder,
no smoke Is made when rifle is dis
charged, while the heaviest artillery
throws off nothing more than a thin
mist that is invisible a hundred yards
away and disappears within a few sec
onds after the gun is fired. Only when
shrapnel or a shell explodes in the
enemy's lines is there anything visible
in the way of smoke, the whole pur-
pose being to conceal the position of
the guns throwing the proJectiles while
making the points where projectiles
explode clearly visible. The express
sion, the smoke of battle" so faith
fully descriptive of the wars of the
past, has little meaning when applied
to a modern war.-From the August
Popular Mechanics Magazine.

We had taken every precaution while

passengers. Among those lost was the
captains nephew.

Snake Bites Send Many
Persons to Hospitals
By Associated Press

Houston, Tex, Aug. 2O.-Evidence
of the unusual destructiveness of Mon
days hurricane was seen in Houston's s
hospitals to-day, which house between
fifty and one hundred persons, either
injured in the storm or suffering from
illness contracted in long exposure.
Most of these patients are from towns
along the coast.
Many of those in the hospitals are
suffering from snake bite-a real dan
ger in a coast hurricane, because the
water drives snakes upon the few
objects above water.
Citizens of Wallaceville, a town OF
about 1000 inhabitants on the east
side of Galveston bay, appealed to-day
for aid, saying that only three houses
remain in their town. They estimated
that 10000 head of stock drowned in
Chambers county where Wallaceville
is situated.
They said also there is worry over
the fate of 75 inhabitants of Smiths
Point, peninsula jutting far out into
the bay.
G. A. Fredericks. of Dallas, and E.
]. Whittig, of Houston, who were in
the Virginia Point Hotel when it col
lapsed, were washed out to sea and
after floating about on wreckage for
several hours were washed back again
by a change of wind.
A girl of 16, found on Galveston
beach unconscious, when revived said
she was at Velasco, nearly sixty miles
distant, when the hurricane struck. She
became unconscious again before Civ
