SUNDAY STAGES
Arr. AI. fist
FIGHT
zig CROWD ANXiOUG TO LYNCH
ASSAlLANT OF FAMOUS
PREACHER.

ATLANTA Ga, Dec. 21.-BiIy Sun
day fought fast and furious round
with representative OF Germany on
the platform at tabernacle last night
Just after the evangelist had refer
rcd in his sermon to chose God-fosar-
ken Germans, 4 man, who later gave
his name as Buterbaugh, jumped from
behind the platform and s",'-h RHW
a terrific slow in the face
Several persons did their best TO
seize the man, but Billy proved empty
able to take care OF himself.
For half minute or more the two
staged oueh-and tumble fight. . >.
First blood went to the stranger
when he got in his first blow to the
face. Billy got home glancing blow
to the chin which would have meant
X. o. had it landed squarely
The crowd which filled the audito-
rum was Supplied with amazement
for few secodns and women tainted
but soon a surgng mass of people
was struggling toward the platform
where the two figures sWyed, in a
tange of flying arms and swinging
fists.
At the end of the first half minute
round it was perfectly evident that, al
though outweighed by fifty pounds or
more, Billy had everything his own
way
When the infurated German was
finally dragged out, it took eight or ten
policemen to get him in safety through
the enraged crowd which tried to take
him from the officers
Had they succeeded it is doubtful
what the result uould have been.
Numerous calls of Lynch him" were
heard and it is possible that the Incl
dent might have ended in a tragedy
had not the police succeeded in taking
their man safely to the police station,
where he was held on the charge Of
assault

WASHINGTON KNOWS NOTHING.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21-American
officials said today they had no knowl-
edge of the so called secret treaty
between Russia and Japan described
in PetOgrad dispatches. There is
possibility that the treaty referred to is
a special convention concluded be-
tween Russia and Japan about the
same time as the so called secret
treaty. 1t is generally assumed here
that the treaty contained same secret
provisions but its purpose was des-
cribed as being to safe guard the inter
est of the two countries in the far east.
1t is rather expected that Japan or Rus
STA will come forward with state
ment explaining the meaning and
purpose of the secret articles in the
treaty

prospect Of war with America.
1t was a natural and justified

SPARK FROM BODY
CAUSES GARAGE. FIRE
Electrical Contact Bxplodes
Can of Gasoline.

When a resident of Dubuque,
Iowa, wearing a fur coat and
rubber boots, walked hurriedly
to his garage on a cold morning
recently, he did not realize that
his movements were storing up a
dangerous amount of electricity
in his body. But the fact was
that the friction of his arms
against the coat caused a certain
amount Of static electricity to be
generated, and this was stored
in the mans body because it was
insulated from the ground by his
rubber boots. When he sought
to prime the motor of his car
with a mixture of gasoline and
ether, using a metal squirt can
probably of copper, which is a
good conductor of electric cur
rent-the can was brought so
close to the motor that a spark
was produced between it and
the printing cup, igniting the
gasoline. The can exploded,
throwing the flaming liquid over
both man and car. The man es-
capped with severe burns, but the
car and garage were completely
destroyed. From Popular Me
chanics Magazine.

for securing the closest possible CO.
operation In opinion and action be-
tween the executive and the legislative
branches of the government, plan
which will tend to minimize friction.
to eliminate misunderstanding and to

This can be secured by the imme-

committee on the conduct of the war,
which should serve as the chief me-
with the executive forces of the gov

avenues of communications between
the two branches should be establish
