"Blue Sunday'' -
Evangel Comes;
To Recruit n. Y.
Ruin Facing Nation Unless
Sabbath Is Made Day of
Rest and Contemplation,
Insists Noah W. Cooper
No Work, Papers or Play
Trains May Run if Fares
Are Remitted; Amateur
Games Also Permitted

Noah Webster Cooper, Of Tennessee.
arrived here yesterday to line up New
York in his nationwide crusade for the
abolition of Sunday newspapers, Sun
Cay trains, Sunday factory work, Sun
day restaurants, Sunday baseball, Sun
day picture shows, Sunday bathing and
Sunday telephones. The keynote of his
first Grafton on this comprehensive sub
ject was the reasonableness of his cam
paign. This was delivered at the Bible
House, in Astor Place.
"I'm the least fanatic man in the
world" Mr. Cooper announced. 81 never
maintain position which has not been
scientifically demonstrated for 5000
years. What I propose has no more
resemblance to a blue law than a hog
to heaven"
So modest are the reforms advocated
by the Southern Methodists' Sabbath
saving crusade, he declared, that he
would have no objection to mans
driving across the state line to attend
church on Sunday, although he admit
ted that this came perilously near to
violating in interstate commerce the
command that cattle should not work
on the Sabbath.
Beaches for Bathing Only
If no way can be discovered whereby
city dwellers can bathe at home he
| thought it might be all right for them
! to go to the beaches on Sunday to at
tain cleanliness.
AS for the newspapers, he quoted
an 1860 decision of the New York Su-
preme Court calling the Sunday ed-
tlons "a curse, a nuisance and a menace
to the public morals" but DENOUNCED
as extreme the suggestion that only two
issues week be permitted in order to
DO away with all danger of Sabbath
| desecration in their preparation and
distribution.
| On the other hand, he drew word
picture Of 100000 weeping, widowed
mothers dashing water in the weary
eyes of their little boys as they dragged
! them out of bed and sent them out in
the dawn of Sunday to sell papers
which played up" fire, murder and
srandal. He made the contrast between
this supposed condition and the days
when children received an extra scrub
bing before being dressed in their go
connecting clothes and sent to Sunday
school.
"When / was boy we were supposed
TO peC our amuSemenCS before Sunday
came, and within twenty-five wears God
will pour out the vials of his wrath
upon us unless we get back to that
principle" Mr.. Cooper predicted. Gun
dHr Solomon the Jews kept the Sabbath
holy and they waxed so rich that gold
flowed through the streets of his capital
! like water. When he died the Sabbath
was polluted and within five years
Shishak came up out of Egypt and car
ried away the treasure Of the kings
house"
Was Punishment for Sin
THE war was one of Gods punish
ments laid upon America for her in
iquity," Mr.. Cooper continued. ~ don't
wonder at His wrath when I consider
the degradation around me. We are
facing moral bankruptcy. And if we do
not give our workmen day when they

Four Drown as
Steamer Sinks
Sailing Vessel
British Freighter Rams 400
Ton Schooner i'm Fog
30 Miles Off Fire Island:
Goes Down i'm 3 Minutes
Three Seamen Rescued
Coal Cargo Which Filled
Hold of Smaller Ship Car
ried Her Under Quickly

In thick fog pail that clung low and
close on the coast yesterday the 400
ton schooner E. Marie Brown was
rammed and sunk about thirty miles
southeast of Fire Island and her master
and three of the crew were drowned.
The schooner. which was bound for
Eastport, Me-, with coal, was hit oy the
British steamship Harmodius. which
arrived here later in the day from
Montreal with three survivors of the
vessel she had hit.
The British freighter was picking
her way slowly to port when suddenly
the sailing vessel loomed up dead ahead
and crossed the freighter's bow. The lat
ter's steel stem hit the Marie Brown on
the port side nearly amidships, and
heeling over to starboard she sank
within three minutes after the col
iision. Her coal cargo, which filled
every available part of her hold, car
ried her down quickly.
AS soon as it was apparent that the
vessels would come together the mas
ter of the freighter put over ifeboat,
and manned by men of his crew it was
out on the sea ready to pick up the
survivors.
Captain B. w. Belyea and three of
his men are believed to have gone down
with the schooner, for they were not
seen again after the collision The
lifeboat from the Harmodius moved
about in the vicinity for over an hour
but was able to pick up only three Of
the seven men aboard. One of these
was Harold Belyea, son of the master
of the. schooner; another was Robert
Ortega, an ordinary seaman. A third
sailor was hauled out of the water un-
conscious and had not been restored
when the Harmodius went to dock last
night in Erie Basin. The unconscious
man had nothing in his clothing to
identify him and the two survivors
brought here with him said they did
not know who he was.
The E. Marie Brown was a vessel of
456 gross tons, built in Thomastown,
Me-, in 1903. The Harmodius, in ballast
from Montreal, was bound here to load
cargo for South America. She was un-
damaged by the collision.

loss, company officials said, OF $780,
900 or more.
The top of the tank was blown off
soon after the fire started and the
plates began to buckle under the in
tense heat. Although the oil was be-
ing pumped from other tanks near by
most of them still contained thousands
OF gallons of oil, and the fremen held
up the sides of the burning tank to
prevent the blazing oil from escaping.
The heat was so intense that they had
to work In shifts.
In spite Of the efforts Of the fire
men the tank finally collapsed, but by
that time most of it's contents had been
consumed and most of the tanks around
it cmptied The fire spread to five
small storage tanks. but they had been
pumped dry before it reached them and
the damage was slight.
Trolley Car Struck
The service station of the Depart

Lights in the station were put out and

Douglas-Jay Wilmoth, deputy Uni ted States marshal here, yesterday re- ceived a wire from Marshal Joe Dill Ion at Phoenix, announcing that Joe Davis, serving a long sentence for train robbery, committed in this coun- ty sme five years ago, had made his escape from Levenworth prison.

Three men were implicated in the robbery, Davis Sherlock and Berthall. The latter at the trial. turned states evid- ence and was allowed his liberty. Soon afterward he was killed in the state of Oklahoma, the killing alleged to have been done by the father of Joe Davis.
 Joe Davis is said to have had a re. cord in Oklahoma as an outlaw and at one time was one of the Henry Starr bandit gang. On the occasion when he and Starr had robbed a bank in Oklahoma they were overtaken by a posses and Starr was wounded and captured, Davis making his escape.
