 PURSUED HARRY.

Paul Scardon, directing Harry Mercy, has been unusually unfortunate In having his automobile stolen.
 Three times thieves got away with it, and twice the police got it back. The second time the car was stolen a valuable velour rug went along with it and didn't come back. Scardon bought a new one, but it wasn't in the car when it was stolen for the third and last time.
 While Scardon was waiting to buy a new motor car he lonaed the rug to George Majeroni, who is playing Tn Morey's new feature, Out of the Dark Last week Majeroni's car was stolen while he was visiting the Vita graph offices at 1900 Broadway. When he announced his loss to the co-workers at the studio, Scardon tried to be sympathetic. but he could not suppress a grin of satisfaction.
 "Oi., you needn't laugh" said Mai eroni; your fug was in the car, and 1t has gone. too."
 Of course, Majeroni had to make good, especially as Scardon remarked that no one but a darn fool would have a heavy rug in an automobile on a hot July day

sOIrRCE OF SPECULATION

Washington, Dec. 2.-Omission of
treaty in the presidents message to
congress today met with general salts
faction among Republican and Demo
crat Senate leaders, who are quite
willing to leave the treaty in it's pigeon
hole until important legislation is
passed or compromise effected.
In all private discussions of senator
and in ONE public statements, there
was much speculation today as to
what extent the presidents illness had
handicapped the actual preparation OF
the message. Democrats declared
President Wilson's vigorous beliefs OF
public questions shown by the Ian
guage of the message shows his mind
70 be unimpaired by illness. Repub-
advisers aided him and indicated the
belief that the message was not up to
the usual form.
Senator Frelinghuysen, republican
Of New Jersey, said the message
failed to take up some importan,
public problems and reflects the
views of Attorney General Palmer
Secretary of Labor Wilson and Samuel
Gompers and that they undoubtedly
assisted him in it's preparation"
Edge, republican of New Jersey said
it certainly lacks the usual Wilson
punch"
Mcclellan, democrat of Tennessee,
characterized the message a genuine
unadulterated Wilson message"
Underwood. democrat of Alabama
declared it up to the presidents fine
Standard.
Hitchcock, acting Democrat Senate
leader said: But few messages have
ever pointed the way to more enlight-
ened remedies for existing evils
Congress got into full swing with
the receipt of the presidents message
and the senate took up the Cummins
railroad bill, hoping to pass it before
Christmas. House leaders arranged
for immediate attack on the annual ap-
propriation bills.
The House today adopted the con-
ference report on the Edge bill author

SAYS CHURCH IS
SWAMPED With
UNCONVERTED
(By Official Reporter.)

A fairly large crowd heard Evan
gelist Dunaway at the Lee Street
church last night. Che evangelist
spoke on "The Fact of Sonship,"
using for his text l John, 2-2 The
evangelist declared that all people
in this world who were really Chris
tians knew it. He said that the
church was loaded down to the water
line with people who had never been
converted. He said we are made
sons of God by pardon, forgiveness,
regenration and adoption in to the
family of God.
The evangelist is preaching the
old time gospel. He believes that
if a man finds God he finds victory
over the world. He insists that it
is not his job to go up and down the
land telling people that they are
Christians but that God must do that
Himself. He assured his hearers that
if they sought God Alright that they
would find Him, and they would be
conscious of the fact.
Evangelist Dunaway will speak to-
night on "What Salvation Does for
the Sinner" This is one of the
evangelists greatest messages and
an urgent invitation is extended to
all to hear him tonight. There will
be two services tomorrow and one
on Saturday; Sunday there will be
three services. The revival will con-
t,nue all through next week.
