of one Of Philadelphia's first fam

ship of nearly 10000 young men in
all parts of the world, knelt on the
Tabernacle platform last night be-
fore an audience of about 1900 Bible

1t was spectacular climax TO an

Capt. Biddle made an impressive fig

He had asked first for silent

its head as though 1t was one

condition because of his throat af-

He fought bravely last night to get
through that sermon, when II seemed
that every sentence was just tug
ging at his strength and sapping his
vitality. The crowd listened and was
awed at the almost superhumau
strength of the evangelist, who was
in much pain. He tore off his collar
and necktie for relief, but the voice
was still husky and his face was
distorted with pain.
Capt. Biddle prayed for the health

TRADE BOARD
MEETING HAS
NO FUEL TALK
Everybody Expected 1t But
Speakers Hold to Rou-
tine Business.

With the most drastic order of the
year facing the District, the Washing
ton Board of Trade at its regular
monthly meeting in the Willard Hotel
last night. showed a marked hesitancy
, in discussing the matter of fuelless
! days ordered by the administration.
Not a word regarding fuel was
spoken during the entire evening.
Fuel was in the atmosphere, and
where individual groups of business
men gathered for private discussion,
coal and the fuel administration was
the topic of discussion. But no Of
fetal word on the subject was
uttered during the regular session.
Senator George E. Chamberlain put
forth more arguments and made a
determined stand against the anti
District suffragists.
Against Anti-SunragIsts.
Its the traditional manner of
acting that bothers NOSE people"
he declared. I'm the State where
come from, in Oregon, we be-
lieve in overthrowing traditions
for the public good. We have done
it. Tradition stated that women
were mems interiors. legally and
civicly. That tradition exists no
more. Women are placed, in the
same category with men. They all
vote. And that is what hope soon
to see in Washington. Men who
are not classes are ruled because
of a tradition. The Chinese are.
What is good enough for the father
is good enough for the son in the
Orient. That obtains in a great
measure in the District. earn
estly hope that 1t will not obtain
for many more years"
Recommendations in the reports
of E. E. Clement, chairman of the
public utilities committee, and ex-
pert in telephone engineering, were
rejected.
Turn Down Proposal.
Mr.. Clement declared that the
board should recommend that the
public utilities commission suspend
action on the proposal of increased
rates for telephone service in the
District, and urge the commission to
issue an order calling for local con-
servation of the phone. He made
this stand because. he stated, 1t ap-
peared to him that the company was
frank in its acknowledgment that
the business in Washington was
growing too great for it to handle.
To reduce the traffice he advised
a compromise with the company, in
the shape of an established rate for
a certain number of calls and a
war" tax for every call over and
above the limit. He said that he ad-
vocated this plan as an immediate
necessity and declared that a re-
quest should be made for a Con-
gressional appropriation for expert
Investigation into the company's serv-
ices.
c. F. Consaul arose at the conclu-
sion of Mr.. Clements report and stat
ed that II "the District consumers
of the phone should be taxed extra
to reduce the company's business, the
same ruling should hold in the case
of the overcrowded street railway
situation in the Capital"
why not increase the rates on
the street cars ten per cent" asked
Mr.. Consaul, $50 as to reduce the
traffic? More people will walk"

feel Washington should be left as

Just as few places as possible

None, however, would be specific.

they arise and after a thorough
