WHAT CANNOT BE OVERLOOKED
NEW HAVEN, Conn., Oct. 20.-
The national council of Congrega
tional churches began Its forty-first
biennial session In historic Center
church this afternoon, devoting Its
first Bitting to election of officers,
reception of reports and preparation
for consideration of denominational
" matters.
Henry M. Beardsley of Kansas
'City, Mo., wu chosen moderator In
succession to Dean Charles R. Brown
of the Isle school of religion.. Rev,
Dr. William Horace Day of Los An
geles was chosen first assistant mod
erator and Rot. Dr. Alfred Lawless,
Jr., of New Orleans second assistant
moderator. The council received an
' Invitation from the Congregational
churches of Los Angeles to come to
that city for the meeting In 1917.
The delegate body wis probably the
largest In the history of the council when
Dean Brown called the gathering to or
der. - '
Refer to W.
Dean Brown, the retiring moderator,
referred to the "direful fact that the
world la at war" la his address.
"We are met at a great crisis in the
moral history of the race," said Mr.
Brown. "The spiritual force of that
Buropean civilization to which we owe
so much sems for the hour to have
broken down.
"In the face of this disaster It Is tor
churches te mobilise their spiritual forces
anew and to bear themselves toward the
warring nations, towards China and
. Japan in such a way that this land will
be a Mesalania nation."
Dean Brown said that work of evan
gelism at home is urgent. "We have seen
apasma of evangelistic efforts in certain
clUea," he said. "The introduction of
the language of the gutter and the antics
of the circus in the pulpit may be over-
looked lor the se.k -eg tha-creater good)
' 'but Irreverence, blasphemy, the teaching
of Immoral ldeta and unscriptural con
ceptions ef religion are harmful and can
not be overlooked. i .
- OpaartBsItlee- Great. "
"The present opportunity of the minis
try never was io great. War wtth all its
burdens should bring a new and more ef
fective lineup Of Christian forces. The
march of progress was too much (or
Philip II. of Spain; it was too much for
Napoleon, and it will be too much for
William IL of Potsdam," .
President M. I Burton of Smith col
late presented the name of Mr. Beards
ley tor modeato; Rev. Ft O. Smith of
Kansas City and Rev. Dr. J. E. Klrby'
of Dee -Moines seconding it.

evangelist. It was frowned upon and
changed to the afternoon It was not
that they did not approve of "Billy
Sunday. That was not It at all. They
simply did not want to break up their

"Billy's" theme was the wonderful

were in themselves proof of Ills di

"Billy" gave the audience a thrill or

denly exclaimed:
"You've got a fe wlntellectual mutts
In Omaha that are shocked at m ypreach
Ing. Uo to the devil! If I lived here I'd
keep my hen roosts locked."
. Speaking of Christ's preaching for the
common people, he said:
"They didn't need to lug around a dic

put the jam and cookies on the lower
shelf where everybody could get them,"

YOUNG COUPLE MARRIED A YEAR
E. George Shirley, aged 17 years,'
and his young wife, Edith, aged 14
years, were found dead In bed, as the
result of suffocation, Wednesday aft
ernoon In their borne, 1668 Dodge
street.
Robert Shirley, a brother, receiv
ing no response at the door, pried
open a window in their bedroom and
discovered the lifeless bodies. Since
Monday evening relatives and friends
had repeatedly called the house by
phone but to no avail. Yesterday
afternoon officers of the Omaha
Crockery company, where Shirley
was employed, notified relativea of
Shirley's absence. j
According to Coroner Crosby, the gas
heater under the water tank in the base
ment, was left burning, and all of the
oxygen In the house was burned up.
Suffocation was the result. Death, which
was apparently accidental, evidently oc
curred soma time between Monday night
and Wednesday noon. . According to
police officers, 'the house , was so filled
with fumes that It was with difficulty
they managed to throw open hs win
dows and doors to air the place. Shirley
was ' last seen Monday night, wnen he
rode home with H. C, Forester, treas
urer -at the Omaha Crockery .company.
Famea Fill Close Haasa.
The gas burner 'was not connected to
a chimney, and the fumes quiokly filled
thl closed house, Is the belief of the
coroner.
The Shlrleys were married a year ago
last June, .'and 'formerly lived at the
Stratford Terrace apartments, moving
to the Dodge street residence about a
month ago.
Michael Shirley, father of the dead
man, ' of the firm- of Shirley A Pbelan,
railroad contractors, lives at Mil Burt

merly Miss Kdlth Collins. .Her mother,
who lives In Sacramento, Cal., has been
notified. The dead man has a brother,
Phtjan Shirley, who lives at Albion.
Coroner Crosby will hold an inquest.
Two years ago a similar happening oc
curred at the home of Harry R. Bowen,
manager of the Central Furniture com
pany, but fortunately for Mr. Bowen and
his wife and child, several windows ia
the bouse were open, as It was a warm
fall evening, and the family was awak
ened nd raved.

HELLEti TESTIFIES
FOR GOVERNMENT
III NEW MEN CASE
Former President of Road Cordially
Greeted by Men Ag-ainit Whom
Ha Appean ai a Wit
ness. THERE IS MUCH HANDSHAKING
Qires Hit Occupation as a "Farmer"
and Tells of Railroad
Experience.
GOES FULLY INTO DETAILS
NEW YORK, Oct. JO. Charles 8.
Mellen, one-time president of the
New York, New Haven ft Hartford
railroad, testified as a government
witness today against the eleven men
with whom he was formerly associ
ated on the road's board of directors,
whose trial on the charge of violating
the Sherman anti-trust law began one
week ago.
Standing before a government
map of the New England railroad
system with a long pointer la his
hand, Mr. Mellen spent two hours ex
plaining the nature of the compett
ttve railroad conditions twenty-five
years ago, when the New Haven's al
leged conspiracy to control the entire
transportation traffic of the six
states began.
Cordially Greeted.
The former New Haven president was
greeted with every evidence of cor
diality by the defendant end there were
numerous handshakings. William Rocke
feller was among several of the defend
ants who stepped forward to converse
with him.
Mr. Mellen gave his occupation as "a
farmer an agriculturist" He told of his
railroad experience, which dated back
to INS, when he was a clerk In the
cashier's office of the Northern Railroad
of New Hampshlie. Then he traoed on
the map the routes of the dosen New
England railroads which In 1S90 had an
Independent existence. '
Ha described their steamboat line con
nections with New York and other points
and their rail connections with other
roads outside of New England. The New
Haven at that time was not much of a
freight line. The Old Colony, with Its
steamboat lines from Fall River and
New Bedford to New York, was getting
the major share of the traffic. The New
Haven's chief strategical advantage at
the time, the witness Indicated, was in
passenger .traf fio, as aen et ' the other
road could maintain through passenger
service to New ToreTeaajY"ofT the
New iiavsn tracks."
' J Lively" ComaetMloa.
All these roads maintained their freight
connections te points outside of New
England through' traffic arrangements
wlth-outslde lines, Mr. Mellen explained,
and contributed pro rata to the expenses
of about a score of freight soliciting or'
ganlxatlons which routed through traffic
over the various connecting lines. These
various through routes were in lively
competition, Mr. Mellen said.
i The 'witness was still in the midst of
his testimony when adjournment was
taken until tomorrow. When - completed
the government expects to us Jt as a
basis upon which to build up the story of
the gradual acquisition of tha line by
the New Haven, with which Mr. Mellen
became connected as vice president In

CHICAQO, Oct. 20. Pathetlo
stories of the lives of girls who dwell
In tenements and gain a precarious
livelihood In the garment trade were
unfolded today before the alderroantc
committee Investigating the garment
workers' strike and Its causes. Mad
ufacturers ignored Invitations to be

The normal earnings of the girls,
testimony showed, were 36 a week,
and only by supreme efforts, working

head of the garment workers' union,
explained to the committee that In
the better shops girls received 1 13 a

teetlmony wss concerned. Today's
witnesses came from the cheaper
shops. . .

Anna Blmsky said that for three years
she has worked from l;30 a, m. to T P.
m. without the usual noonday rest for
lunch, and made $S a week. Pearl
Krupnlk said that in dull times she had
earned as low as 7S cents a week. Fannie
Berg testified that the girls have to buy
their own needles. Three 'hundred girls
she said had to use the same roller
towel. Alderman Ilealey called the atten
tion ef the health department to this.
All of the witnesses complained In
greater or less degree to harsh treat
ment from foremen, mostly In the way
et abusive language.
Alderman Oelger of the committee was
curious to learn how the girl managed
to live on their Incomes, Mia Berg ex
plained: "I pay $8 a month tor n.y room
and ' my sister charge me IS cents
meal for what 1 eat. J am often hungry,
but I can't afford to spend more." ,

"Did you ever beat up on yourself T"
"Yes; I beat up oneT"
"Did anyone ever tell you to do that?
Did you receive Instructions from head
quarters to do thatT'
"No; no one ever told me. I knew
enough to do that without being told."
Desste Alt, who earns tt a week, re
cited that she keeps within her Income
by walking two miles to and from work
and spending only 26 cent a day for
food. Miss Alt, like the others, was
asked If any foremen made Improper ad
vances to her.
'Some of the girls told m that the
foreman had asked them to go out with
him," answered the witness. "If they
did they were better treated."
Better paid?" asked Alderman Oelger,
