Chairman F. W. Pelton, Ccmiris- sioner Frank Riley and Superintend- ent Hart were selected as a sub-com- mttee to compile the charity board estimates for 1915-16 at a meeting of the board last night.

ADULTERATI0N OF
 OATS TO BE STOPPED
Seventy live Carloads Of Gran for fX- p.Tj Scz'd by Federal ku hoTilIGS.

Washington, D. C., Feb. 6.--ScN-
 enty-ff!c carloads of oats intended for export have recently been seized by the federal authorities because they
 W"r" found to be adulterated within tn" meaning of tho food and drug act. The oIultelation Charged is the addition of feed barley or water or :. both. Under certain circumstance, adUItcl ton in these ways may he so profitable that it is believed to be at times common practice among grain shippers The government, however. is determined that tho practice shalt cease at once. anG field representa- tNcS of the department of agricul ture have all been instructed to CA erCisc the utmost vigilance in detect ing future shipments adulterated in this way.
 Low grade barley which is known to the trade as feed barley" is some times mixed with oats when there iS sufficient differences between the prices of tho two grains to make thi; profitable. This "fcrd barley" is the product which remains after the best grade of the grain has been separated and removed for mating purpos,-. II contains material percentages of weed seeds. foreign grains and dust, and the addition to oats of such a product is held to be a violation of the food and drugs act. The addition of wa ter to ca ts arises from the fact that the grain is sold by weight. Inves- tigations of the depa rtment of agri- culture have revealed the fact that water is sometimes added in the p1 nf " tn
 In the opinion of tho government officials there is no reason why either of these practices should be tole>'atcd. Grain shippers and dealers, therefore, are being warned that the prevalence of the custom in the past will not af- feet the legal proceedings against fu- ture shipments found to be adulter- ated In this way.

Billy Sunday in the East.
(Cnicago Tribune.)

Wicked cities often have turned af- fectionately toward prophets who scolded them brutally It was one of the tribulations of Jonah that Nneveh repented of its sins within the prescribed time. A prophet with a lisp or monocle, one who was par ticular to have English breakfast tea and his toast crisp but not buttered never could win anything but gloved applause. A man preaching hells fire and damnation is the prophet who catches the attention of the vigorous ly wicked.
 The reason New York has become so inordinately interested In the Rev Billy Sunday is because he talks so refreshingy of hell. New York would not be interested in smooth rhetoric and parlor phrases. Pre- else critics of the Rev. Mr. Sunday say that, although he shouts much and loudly against profanity. he is in cs- sence profane. He spreads an unc- tion over the word hell which. to the precise mind. indicates that he en- joys the word.
 At present Mir. Sunday, working in Philadelphia, is a. more controversial l subject along the Atlantic seaboard than the war. His gNmnastic and colloquial oratory, the way he comes to grips with the devil and rolls him physically on the mat, the way he approaches the portals of the here after and communicates with the Lord within-these and other aspects of his attack upon wickedness appall the judicious, but his pcrsuasiveness Is conceded.
 It is admitted even by clcrgymcn who grieve as they contemplate his doctrines and who are aghast when they observe him in action that he has a way Of VitaliZing religion. A critic who believes that his doctrnal teachings will have to be uprooted says that his power is In bringing re- ligion out from under the blanket Of reticcnce and making it a topic for the man in the street
 Ever since Mir. Sunday said that ne would not mind taCkling the devil in New York the folk of that city have been writing letters to the newspapers on the subject of evangelical religion.

 Captain Mills this afternoon rc- ports by wireless the rescu" at 1:3n o'clock yesterday morning, February 4, of the crew of the Standard oil tank steamer Chester, which was abandoned in sinking condition lr latitude 47.06 north, longitude 32.13 vest
 The Chester sailed from Now York for Rotterdam January 23 with cargo of oil. The Philadclphla, which left Liverpool last Saturday afternoon, was 1.34O miles east of Ambrose Channel Lightship this afternoon, and will probably not dock until day. The Philadelphia has been delayed and indications are that the delay was due to her standing by tne Chcs- ter and taking off the crew.
 Officials of the Standard Oil com pany said that the Chester carried a crew of about thirty-fvc. Other than the wireless message, they had received no word that the vessel had been wrecked.

 Opinion on the subject appears to be about equally divided among the mem bers of the house for weeks deadlocked over the speakership. All precedents point otherwise, but the constitution is silent on the matter. Tn the absence of any constitutional inhibition, it is contended by those ad- vocating such a procedure that it is legal.
