MRS. CARTER BACK
WITH WITNESSES &

A comedy burlesque was staged in
Justice Musgrove's court this after.
noou when a negro woman from Bax-
ter Mrs. Sarah Carter, was tried on
a charge of having pilfered from a
neighbor a choice chicken. The col.
ared folks live in dauble house, the
other part Of which is occupied by a
family Of Italians. and 1t is from this
family that the chicken is alleged to
have been stolen on Thursday, Aug
ust %, at about 9 o'clock in the morn
ing.
One woman declared that she had
seen Mrs. Carter open the door of her
house and after enticing a chicken to
the door with grains of corn, strike
1t with club and drag it within the
house.
A number Of other persons testified
to the fact that Mrs. Carter had been
Ill for some time and that on the
morning in question she had been con.
fined to her bed in an upper room Of
the house and had not been down
stairs during the entire day.
When Mr.. Carter was put on the
witness stand he testified that his wife
ndu D0Sh III anu ludL 5u6 Was uOL per-
mitted to eat any grease.
$50 she wasn't allowed to eat any
grease?" questioned Curt Amos. at.
torney for the prosecution. WAS that
the reason the chicken disappeared?
mo sab, when wants to disappear
chicken buys it." was the prompt
reply.
Mrs. Carter was arrested last week
upon complaint of neighbor woman,
but she asked for more time in which
to get witnesses and deposited fifteen
dollars for her temperance today
She had 4 number Of witnesses with
her this time and they seemed deter.
mined to stand with her to the last
At the times of going to press the
prosecution had not been able to
present any very conclusive evidence
OF the woman's guilt and the case
seems to have been the outcome Of
neighborhood gossip.

Evangelist's Creed Likened
to a Plaster on Aching

Delivering the second of two adj
dresses on "Billy Sundayism" at Car
negie Hall yesterday morning, Rabbi
Stephen 8. Wise told the Free Syna-
gogue congregation OF more than 1000
persons that Billy Sunday had prayed
the Lord would send the devil TO the
places where Sunday Has next to be
heard so the evangelist could have
the credit of chasing him out. The
rabbi compared Sundayism to n re-
lgion that puts Oh an aching social
system a hot mustard plaster
Rabbi Wise SAID he had received
many letters from Christian minis
tiers. among them a Roman Catholic
priest. thanking him for his sermon
last Sunday attacking Sundaylsm.
Sundays prayer that the devil he
sent ahead Of him to give the evan
gelist something spectacular to do was
made during revival in Philaoel-

More than 10000 prospective trail
hitters turned out yesterday to assist
in the dedication Of the big wooden
Tabernacle At l6sth Street and Broad
way, where Billy Sunday will campaign
against "the devil that is in New YorN.'
Less than half that number had bccn
expected by tho evangelsts staff. and
the outpourlng was taken as an augury
though some have thought otherwise
that New York will listen as eagerly
to the Sunday gospel as have lesser
cities.
The Tabernacle. originally intended
to seat $4,000. but accommodating
something less than 1900 since the
Fire Department directed the opening
CT extra aisles. was crowded to the last
foot Of standing room. Outside of each
Of its scores OF windows and doors was
another crowd.
Seven hundred and fifty ushers. with
reserve force Of 400 more from the
corps which has been drilled into a
semi-military organization by Howard
Whitfield. formerly a lieutenant in the
New Jersey National Guard. were on
hand in time to handle the first rush
for seats and the rush came early.
At 2:30 the exercises were opened
with a hymn sung by 1000 men and
women drawn from the choirs OF the
city's churches. The song service last
ed a half hour. Then all Joined IN
prayer.
The first address. following the invo-
cation by the Rev. DR.. Henry +. Cobb
and a Scripture reading by the Rev. DR..
Cornelius Woelfkin. was made by
Bishop Luther b. Wilson, and took p
patriotic turn which brought frequent
outbursts of applause.
There are days" he said. when
men stand for parj" measures, but then
come crises. WI these crises come
all that is dearcs, and finest in the
life of this nation is IN jeopardy. Then
men who are only partisan adhere 10
party lines, but If they are patriots
they rise above party lines.
81 said at the beginning, he con-
tinued and bending down placed his
hands lovingly on the American flag
before him. that this tabernacle was
without ornament. but here is stand
ard. a symbol. which to-day must be n
sacred holy thing. To-day it is not a
question Of jefferson or Hamilton, but
Of Washington or Lincoln. About those
names and this flag this nation must
rather as IL never has gathered before.
This brought a great outburst of
patriotic cheering. Thousands stood
up. and the demonstration lasted sew
eral minutes. 1t was the first or dedi-
catory outburst in a building meant to
house the thousands of demonstrations
like il.
The Bishop, explaining the purpose
Of the exercises, said it was scarcely
possible TO avoid the contrast that sug-
gested itself between the tabernacle in
