Hall, Sick and Lame, Crowd Church
To Doors As 'Mracle Man" Hickson,
Praying, Practices Laying On OfHands

and play, some carried in arms
others limping along with piteousiy
misshapen limbs. AS one by one,
the sufferers received the benedic-
ton of the healer, often with ra-
diant faces, illumined with re-
newed faith and hope, they were
assisted from the chancel by rela-
tives and members of the clergy.
And here indeed was true de-
mocracy. In the closely crowded
pews as the healer prayed for
strength before beginning his
mission, side by side on the
same rail knelt a colonel of the
United States army and an aged
man in working clothes-and so it
was throughout the vast assem-
blage a church turned clinic.
No instantaneous Cures.
There were no visible miracles
but Hickson had promised none+
there was little of the spectacular
he did not want 1t so. Before
gaining admission to the church
both patients and onlookers were
besought by the Healer to offer a
prayer.
There were no instantaneous
cures, 1t is true, and many who had
brought crutches carried them away
with them, but they took with
them something else, an intangible
something. above the cynic's sneer
and a beatific look upon their
countenances that needed no out
ward words They had asked for a
sign, and they received it-in their
hearts.
Upon the completion of his mission
here tomorrow, Hickson will revisit
Baltimore. and will then continue
his tour of the world, which includes
China. Japan, Russia, India. Egypt
and the Holy Land.

He then urged them not to expect

Referring to statements made by
critics that his healing was accom-

healing. 1t must come from within.

MEXICAN REBELS BELIEVED
TO PLAN UNION OF FORCES

Latin American circles here be-
lieve that the Mexican revolutionary
movement in the South and the
Sonora movement in the North are
likely to bridge the present chasm
and join. The seizure of the capital,
which is regarded as the Keystone
of President Carranza's position, is
thought to be the aim of the
revolutionists.
The Sierra Madre mountain
range undoubtedly protects Mexico
City, in some measure, against the
Sonora forces. However. should the
Yaqui Indians and the troops of
Villa definitely link arms with the
Sonora rebels. the Mexican capital
could be approached from the east.

DANGER IN DURANGO

Aqua Prieta, Sonora, Mexico, April
2o.-Carranzista troops failed In
their first effort to penetrate Sonora
through Pulpito Pass on the Chihua-
hua border. according to messengers
arriving here today.
With concrete breastworks and
machine guns clamped to the sides
of the pass. it proved a death trap
to the federal troops.
No casualties were reported among
the Sonora defenders and no in
formation was available on the Car
ranzista losses
In Strong Position.
The Carranzista soldiers in thin
skirmishes last night felt out the
strength of the defense. A stronger
sRort to force through the pass is
expected shortly, but officers of the
Sonora army declare the narrow
passage and new defenses made 1t
possible for fifty men to hold the
pass against an army.
Anticipating that the Carranza
government will launch its strong
est attack upon the Sonora and
Sinaloa rebels from the more vul-
nerable Durango border. secession

Indians friendly to the anti-Car-

FEDERATED CITIZENS TO FILE
REHEARING REQUEST AT ONCE

The Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations application for a rehearing
of the Scent fare decision will be
filed this week with the Public Utili-
ties Commission, according to a
statement last night by w. B. West
lake, president.
E The application is being prepared
by VIM. Mex. Clayton, chairman of
the federation's utilities committee
and spokesman for the organization
at the rate hearings.
That the federation will seek an
injunction restraining the Utilities
Commission and traction companies
from enforcing the Scent fare was
declared unlikely by Westlake.
I'VE are hoping action by Con-
gress will save us from the delays
of injunction proceedings" he said.

less than the regular fare for all
street car passengers in the Dis
trict who have to stand up. The
3-cent reduction would be due pas
sengers who were necessarily stand
ing when the fare was collected.
Upshaw's bill would provide a
fine of 800 for each violation of
his law, half of which would go
to the passenger who was charged
the full fare while standing.
Mapcs Calls In Lawyer.
Mapes is having the legal fea-
lures of his compulsory merger
bill worked out by a lawyer. and
when it is completed probably will
hold a hearing on ir in conjunc-
ton with the Woods and Upshaw
bills and any other measures af-
fecting the local street railway sit
uation which nay be. introduced up
to that time. He says he Is trying
to evolve a bill which will be fair
to both companies and the public
alike.
He does not believe the Capital
Traction Company. as a simple
matter of business, would want to
take over the properties of the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company III their present rundown
condition. Consequently he de-
clares he does not believe a volun-
tary merger feasible.
Opposition to the Scent fare
granted the companies, effective
May 1, continued in both the House
and Senate yesterday.
Representative Milton A. Rom

District of Columbia Committee. de-
clare that an Scent fare is both
unreasonable and unjustified.
Calls Raise Unwarranted.
There is no occasion for it," he
declared, land unless a merger is
brought about soon it may result
in the necessity for a compulsory
merger of the two lines 1t GER
tainly should come to that rather
than to extracting an Scent fare
from the travelling public.
"A forced merger wouldn't be
unconstitutional as some would
have US believe, but of course If
you merge by compulsion the prop
erty would have to be appraised
and paid for at it's reasonable value.
The government always has the
right of eminent -domain-the right
to have the property condemned
when it is required for public pur-
poses. There is clear constitutional
authority in such a move.''
Representative Upshaw is Of the
opinion that neither the people nor
Congress will stand for an Scent
fare long. The companies should
be forced to consolidate, he averred.

authorities attempted the same raid
two days later, hoping to catch the
Sim Feiners unawares, but failed to
net single leader.
The Sin Feiners smilingly admit
they had received an intimation Of
the forth coming raid even before the
Castle officials started to make up
the lists. The tip came from London
and was to the effect that about fifty
unused cells in Wormwood Scrubs
Prison were being cleaned up and
prepared for occupancy. The Sim

occupied.
Another Instance.
Another instance of the familiar
ity Of Sim Fein with happenings at
Dublin Castle, occurred before the
arrest recently of Alderman Tom
Kelly, which caused widespread sur
prise and resentment in Ireland.
Within a few hours after Kelly's
name was placed on the Castle

forthcoming arrest. But Kelly re-

MAKING MUTTON-TOMATO PIE
Excellent Method for Use of Cold
Meat Is Given by Department
Of Agriculture.

An excellent way to use cold NUT
ton is to bake it with tomatoes, using
alternate layers Of tomato and meat.
A tomato sauce may be used or the
following method nay be employed:
Place in the baking dish a layer OF
fresh tomatoes or of cooked tomatoes
which have been either drained or re-
duced in volume by boiling. In the
dish place a layer of meat dredged
with flour, salt and pepper and add
small bits of butter. Continue the
layers until the casserole is full, ar
ranging to have layer Of buttered
bread crumbs or cracker crumbs as
"A cover. Bake until the crumbs are
brown. In following this method use
tomato, butter, and flour I'm the correct
portions for tomato sauce-two level
tabcspoonfuls each Of butter and flour
for each cupful Of tomatoes.
