"PROFESSIONAL MOUNTEBANK" One Local Cleriryman Who Does Not Thlak Mnch of Mans Oratory for Sinner Sarins JFlc Years Hence. Is the call to Billy" Sunday to come and save Omaha merely part of the pro hibition campaign under disguise? That It Is merely a preliminary prohibition rally Is the Intimation of Rey. T. J. Mackay, rector of AU Saints' church. Who Is talking It right out loud, and has printed It boldly In his little parish paper, Church and Homo. What Mr. Mackay thinks of the Sunday enterprise Is ex pressed In unmistakable language In this tt"3ent: "Ths revivalist autocrat flatly refused to consider the proposition of the Omaha committee, and his co-workers Intimated that It might be five years before he could come to Omaha In 'any event. Five years! What will become of the sinners who are to hang on in the "waiting list" In the meantime? Jnat Prohibition Politic, "if the real truth of the matter could be known, we surmise that tho coming of Billy Sunday was to bo part of the political prohibition campaign to bo waged In this state, more than for the conversion of sinners. We have long had the feeling that the churches which are to Interested In prohibition campaigns. go Into this business because they have no other live Issues before them, and must have some other exeltement to keep them olive rather than the preaching of the gospel, and the conversion of sinners. "It is a pitiful confession of the failure of the gospel to reach sinners, and make people better, when they have to pay a professional mountebank revivalist $28,000 for a six weeks' campaign of slang oratory. ''It tho work of God's Holy Spirit de Prnfi on such claptrap, and the trans parent devices of a "Billy Sunday," let us bo honest enough to say so, but we do not believe it, and agree with James Freeman Clarke that ths modern "Re vival buslnsss" ts as rldleuleus as would be the setting of a trap to oaten ths spring."

THIS CITY AT A DISADVANTAGE Claim la Made hnt Omaha U Die criminated Against In the Mat ter of Mlnlmnm Loads to the Sonthenst. Omaha merchants aro seeking to get on a fairer bail with their eastern compet itors for the business of the southeastern states by appealing to the Interstate Commerce commission for lower freight rates and lower classification to that ter ritory. Special Examiner Henderson of tho Interstate Commerce commission opened the hearing In the south court room of the federal building yesterday. The test case on which the controversy Is based Is brought by the George H. Lee company of Omaha. Tho company points to a specific case In which It Shipped a carload of Incubators to Au guita, Go., and paid an excessive freight rate that made It practically Impossible for It to compete with the eastern com petitors In that territory In this line of goods. The company maintains that the freight from Omaha to the southeastern states regularly eats up In the neighbor hood of 20 per cent of the value of the carload of goods sent The company further points out that the eastern competitors have an advantage In freight rates to tho southeast over Omaha manufacturers and wholesalers, both In the matter of lower rates and In a lower classification. They are allowed a lower minimum of car weight than the Omaha people. While the eastern manu facturers are able to get cars of a 12,000 pound minimum the Omaha merchant get the 24,006 minimum, which mnkes them pay for 21,000 pounds freight when they may or may not havo more than 12,000 or 15,000 in tho car. It Is this double advantage that th? Omaha merchants are anxious to break. E. J. MoVann of the traffic bureau of the Commercial club Is taking part In the cotnroversy. Vice President Coataworth of tfis George H. Lee company was on the witness stand most of the morning, outlining the situation, pointing out spe cific cases and answering the cross-exam ination. Expert Explains Keokuk Dam to the Omaha Electricians Elalro Duval, who has made a study of the engineering features of the Keokuk power dam, explained some of the techni cal points of the machinery and construc tion work to ths Omaha Electrical club at the Commercial club at noon. In a discussion which followed the talk It was Intimated that tho ultimate con sumers of the power generated at the dam would not benefit as much as It was thought when the proposition was brought out a few years ago. It was remarked In the round table that the promoting company will sell power In large quantities to public service corpor ations of nearby cities and that tho cus tomers of these corporations would get electricity at only a little less rate con sumers of electricity In Omaha pay. Duval told the electrical men of a de licate governor Installed at the power dam whose regulations would be so exact as to affect the turbines when a street car In St. Louts starts or stops. He said the turbines Installed there were made for the highest efficiency. Ho said the engineers assert tho turbines will pro duce 85 per cent efficiency, while all the text books he had read gave 75 per cent as the most that could be obtained. George A. Seabury of tho Society for Electrical Development announced nt the meeting that the new slogan of the so ciety as a result of a contest would be, "Do It Electrically." About four out of 4. GOO contestants suggested this slogan and divide the prise of $100.
