"Rllly" Sunday lambasted the. saloon
with all the power that was In him at
a men's meeting at the tabernacle yester
day afternoon. While he worked him
self into a fremy of denunciation namea
like "dirty ganir," "Ham," "cutthroaU,"
"Jackassea." "fools," "blasphemers,"
nd "skunks'' and many others poured
from his mouth In volleys. Sometimes he
attacked with sarcasm. Irony and scorn
ful laughter.
"I hate the dirty business with a per
fect hatred." he told the audience In a
high falsetto. He gritted his teeth and
shrieked "and I love to hate It." He
laughed and his laugh made his scorn
end hatred more apparent to the audi
ence. His f itch tins spirit waa Infectious
and the audience applauded.
"Any man who votes for the saloon
deserves to have his hoy die a drunkard,
ire deserves to Have his daughter live
shouted.
"I said ill my opinion every man who
votes for a saloon deserves to have hi
daughter live In the embrace of a drunk
ard." he repeated, loudly and deliberately
and looked around as though to find
some one who would take Issue with. htm.
Talks Politics.
His remark to voter was one of sev
eral statements which had a political
bearing. In fact he talked more politics
than he had at any previous meeting In
Omaha.
"Billy" twice got a hand from prao
ttcally the entire audience. Once was
when he said early In hia talk:
- "If time and health permit I'm com
ing back during the campaign to fight
this5 dirty 'gariV V- n : --
The other time was when he said;. '
"Let us sea that no senator or con
gressman represents us in the United
States congress who will not vote for a
prohibition amendment, to the constitu
tion." Local sympathisers of the Sunday cam
paign . who are interested In politics ex
pressed themselves as pieased with this
statement on account of Its close appli
cation to the approaching campaign.
Stand t' for Prohibition.
Nearly the entire audience stood up
when Sunday asked for a pledge that
those present would do wnat they could
to advance the cause or prohibition in
Nebraska.
Sunday attacked local vptlon and reg
ulation of the liquor traffic. Option, he
said, was used by the brewers to delay
prohibition.
He spoke of regulation In this manner:
-"You can't regulate a skunk so he won't
stink."
When Sunday said: "Borne of you pol
iticians wouldn't be holding office if it
wasn't for the liquor traffic,'' there was
much applause.
Then he said: "Some of you couldn't
rent your buildings If It wasn't for the
liquor traffic."
There was half-hearted applause at
that and Sunday turned on the audience
in a flash.
Afraid 4 Applaad.
"Some of you fellows wouldn't clap
your hands together when I said that for
fear we'd think you were four-flushers,"
lie remarked. '
"Single handed I've fought the whisky
Interests of this country," Sundaytold
his audience, "and they've used hun
drids of thousands of dollars to vllllfy
me. I've had my life threatened all over
this country by the white llvered, blas
phemous gang, but I'm going to continue
to fight without compromise and with
out fear."
He held up vivid word pictures to his
audience of horrors of the liquor traf
fic. Once be got down on his hands and
knees while he was telling a story. He
took off his coat, then prayed, standing
on a chair and holding hia coat in his
hand. -
Seventy-five men hit the trail In re
sponse to an invitation by Sunday to
"como down and grasp my hand for re
ligion. "Here's my band for God and for
truth," he said.

REED BELIEVES i
STATEJ1LL m
Attorney General Says He Thinks
Good Case Has Been Made on
Passenger Rates.
BETTER THAN FREIGHT CASE
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Oct. 10.-(8peclal. "It will
cost the people of Nebraska more than
12,0110.000 annually If the railroads make
their case before the Interstate Commerce
commission In Washington to advance
Interstate rates from t cents to t cents
a mile," Attorney General Willis B. Heed
said last night, upon his return from the
national capital, where he presented ar
guments In the case.
Nebraskans would suffer, he points out,
since the railroads, lfthey win the case.
Would Unite fnrvfa In Ihn nr..Tif naa nf
the Missouri Pacific In the federal court j
stitistlonal, as has been recently done bo
fore the supreme court In the West Vir
ginia esse. ,
Mr. Reed Is confident the railroads will
lose. The showing which they made was
not nearly so Impressive as In the ftrlght
rate case, he though and their victory
was only about one-third on cession.
The attorney general confined his argu
ment to a Just apportionment of the
operating expenses of the passenger and
freight departments, and pointed out
where the railroads erred In using the
engine ton formula. He at the snme time
pointed out that railroads making a Just
profit in Nebraska, to raise their rates on
the passenger service must reduce them
on freight.
Sweet Holds Important Place.
The attorney general's office yesterday
received from the State department In
Washington printed copies of the diplo
matic correspondence with European
countries of the last two months, which
was directed to and transcribed by E. C.
Sweet, a Nebraska boy. who has been
confidential secretary to both W. J.
Bryan and Secretary of State Lansing.
The documents have to do with the
blockade measures, the sinking of, the
Nebraska. Frye, and the Falaba up to
And Including the dismissal of Ambassa
dor Duma of Austria-Hungary.'
The papers were not only dictated to
Mr. Sweet, but replies came to him In
code form and he Is the only one at the
national capitol possessed of the secret
of the translation of them.
Sweet was a former resident of Atkin
son, Neb., and was graduated from a
business college in Omaha and served
In the law office of Attorney General
Reed for sis years. He then came to
Lincoln and served withy the strong law
firm of Halner & Craft here and when
Mr. Bryan was made secretary of state
was taken to Waahingtbn. He - was
strongly recommended to Secretary Lan
sing when Mr. Bryan retired.
Beckmana Returns.
,-LsjnJ - .Commissioner. Rookmann . re
turned yesterday from a' l.JOO-mHa" trip
over the southern and western sections
of Nebraska, where he waa Inspecting
school lands in seven counties. Corn In
southeastern Nebraska was practically
out of the way when the frost came,
Mr. Beckmana said, but- north and west
of Custer county it has been damaged
slightly. Mr. Beckmann found several
tracts of land belonging to the state,
which were greatly undervalued, and he
will ask the state board to raise the
appraisements.
Order to Show Canse.
The Nebraska Railway commission has
notified all Nebraska railroads to show
cause why Class B rates on order "No. It
should not apply to emigrants' movables,

MANY IN TEARS AS
SUNDAYJREACHES
Says that to Do Real Good Tou Must
Pray Long, Earnestly and
Agonizingly.
THIRTY-FIVE HIT THE TRAIL
Perhaps 30 per cent of the audi
ence of 8,500 persons at the taber
acleSunay oenooa rere la tears
when "''S'lny"' Sunday preached the
sermon on the agony of Christ In
his great ' prayer In the Garden of
Gethsemane. . Mr. Sunday insisted
that to djo real good one must pray
long, earnestly and agonizingly.
"Tou people look to me as if you
ate too much and slept too well over
Omaha' going down to hell," said
the speaker. . "I say meet Omaha
with tears and agony; that is the
argument that cannot be answered."
He told the story of an Infidel who
boasted that he could defeat any argu
ment advanced In favor of the Christian
life. A deacon drove twelve, miles in the
snow to that man's home and asked him
to be a Christian. The fellow cursed at
him and told him to mind his own busi
ness. He did not even ask the deacon
to come in and warm his feet. The good
man stood In the snow and wept over
the Infidel, but finally turned and drove
away In tbe snow. ,
Confesses Christ.
Tears' afterward the Infidel went all
the way to Saratoga,, N, T., to confess
Christ to this same mail, for he heard
he could be found there. He said then
that he had not slept through a peaceful
night since that time h cursed the man
that came to help him. "The tears of
that man standing knee deep In the
now," said Mr. Sunday, "were an argu
ment he could not answer."
Again the evangelist' pointed out that
the people of Christ must be active If
they wish to do good work. "If Ood
had no more concern about Omaha than
some of Its people have," he said,
"Omaha would have been In hell ages
ago."
He told the story of the lost boy In
Chicago and of the great agony of the
mother until she enfolded her baby boy
In her arms at the police station, where
he had had been taken toy Mr. Sunday,
' Agesy Over Lost Souls.
"Right there," said the evangelist, "I
thought If this mother suffers so at the
thought of her lost baby ooy, I will Just
multiply that agony by Infinity to kno
how God must feel over hia world of
people lost. I never saw a Univorsallst
or a Unitarian that sweat a collar down
through his concern for ths saving of
soula"
It was announced that Tuesday after
noon and evening the seimon on amuse
ments will be repeated. Also It was an
nounced that the forenoon offering will
be for ths Salvation army rescua home,
and ths evening for the Volunteers of
America.
Thirty-five came forward on the saw
dust trail to grasp the hand of the evan
gelist at the morning meeting, and gave
their names for the churoh records.

Chicago Saloons
Closed on Sunday.
' Pirst Time in Age
CHICAGO,' Oct. 10.-Be.loon, hotel and
restaurant bars were closed here today
for the first time In forty-four years.
Mayor Thompson's order sf a week; ago
was In conformity with a state law
which had almost been forgotten because
of its nonobservance, the 7,152 saloons of
the city and the restaurants and hotels
operating their liquor privileges under a
city ordinance requiring closure only be
tween the hours of 1:00 a. m. and 6:00
a. m.
According' to police reports, the order
of the mayor was generally observed.
Instances of places In widely scattered
parts of the city opening side doors for
admittance of a favored few were re
ported, but these luslanoea were com
paratively rare in the loop district, the
order being rigidly observed, according
to the police.
Leaders of the liquor Interests said they
were pleased at the response to the word
to "clamp the lid tight," sent broadcast
late yesterdsy following tho refusal of
Circuit Judge Matchett to enjoin the
mayor and Acting Mayor Moorhouso
from enforcing the order to close at mid.
night. "
In the villages and towns surrounding
the city ths proprietors of public houses
were said to have done an exceptional
business tut a result of a strict enforce
ment of the law In Chicago.

Although apparently democratic
and thoroughly cordial, affable and
accommodating to newspaper men

However, he was quite willing to
pay compliments to Omaha and
"Billy" Sunday, and praised both
generauHly. after slopping off for al
most two hours between trains, dur
ing which time he made an auto tour
of the city.
Praise for Baaday.
"I don't know Mr. Sunday, and never
heard him preach," the eon of the
Standard and Colorado Fuel and Iron
king said. "But Judging from second
hand Information he Is a remarkable man
and la doing lots of good."
At the suggestion of reporters, the mil
lionaire visitor motored past the tebex
nacle and viewed the big structure. He
was also. Invited to remain longer In
Omaha and hear the evangelist preach
last nlKht.
"I'm sarry It Is impossible to do that,"
Mr. Rockefeller said, "I would like to
hear Mr. Sunday, but It can't be ar
ranged on this trip.
PleaseA with. Omaha-
"Omaha seems to be a very attractive
city. It looks like a good place to live.
This Is the ttrsi time I ever saw the
city to any extent, for although I've
been through Omaha before, I never had
a chance to stop off till now. I'm glad
t did this time."
lt".ters fBrmed the entlr delegation
that greeted the famous young business
man and philanthropist at the depot, and
he showed them every courtesy. No local

Travels t'aoatentaeloMaly.
Traveling quietly and unostentaclously,
Mr. Rockefeller came and went without
attracting much more attention from ths
public than an ordinary tourist. Although
ha might have had a special train all to

LARGEST CROWD
FOR THIRD GAME
About Forty-Five Thousand to See
Phillies and Red Sox Battle in
Boston Today,
ALEXANDER AND LEONARD
BOSTON. tct. lO.-The Philadelphia
Nationals and the Boston American ar
rived here today to resume tomorrow
their series for the championship of the
world. Kaoh team has scored a victory
In the two opening contests at Phila
delphia.
The crowd tomorrow Is expected to he
the greatest that has ever seen a world's
Series contest, and possibly the greatest
that has ever seen a bae bnll game. It
probably will exceed tT.0() Oersnns. More
tha tihalf that number of tickets already
has been sold snd the rwo rush seats
are expected to be fl'led before the game
la started. The first of the throng thai
will occupy bleacher arats tonk up poel
tlotvi at the gates o fthe Braves field
tonliiht.
Weather conditions approaching those
of summer are In prospect. The weather
forecaster predicted thst the day would
be fair and somewhat warmer than to
day, when light costs were aids to fom
rort. "lore Madled play.
The third game of the series, It was
expected, would develop a more studied
scheme of play by both teams. Having
grappled for eighteen Innlncs, the teams
have gained an understsndlng of the
method and caliber of their opponents
and each Is expected to show Improve
ment In strategy and action.
Philadelphia's campaign will again re
volve around Alexander. The failure of
Mayer, who pitched for the Phillies in
the game Boston won Ranrday. hss em-
pnaaixea tne fact admitted by the Phila
delphia team's supporters that It Is
largely In Alexander's pitching skill that
their hopes for a world championship
renter. The Red Sox were successful In
an linexpected degree In hitting his de
livery In Frldsy's game and followers of
the local club were sanguine of the
team's prospects of the team's chances
tomorrow.
I.eoaarit Versa -Alexaader.
To oppose Alexander. Manager Carrl
gan la expected to select "Dufh" Leon
ard, a stripping young man who pitches
with his left hand. His nunning, which
brought him to the head of all American
league pitchers last year and to a hixh
place on the list this season, Is axpe-led
to overcome the advantage which the
Phillies hold over left handers In pre
senting a lineup almost entirely com
posed of right handed batsmen.,
The opposing managers had no word
to give out tonight as their probable
pitching choices tomorrow, but among
the players and rloa followers of the
teams, the opinion appeared general that
Alexander and Leonard would contend.
Burna again will catch Alexander, and It
la thought that Manager Carvlgan Will
make h's first active appenante In the
tsrles r the Boston backstop. , .
It was remarked with satisfaction, by
Red.SVit supporters tonight that the
team has outhlt the Phillies in the two
games already played. Expert opinion
prior to the series was generally to ths
effect that Philadelphia was potentially
ths better ball team. But the. Red So
have hit for a team average of .MS so
far. as compared with .140, ths average
Of hits by their opponents. . .
Foster Remains Hero.
George Foster, hero of Saturday's game,
has contributed largely to ths Red Boa
advantage In this connection, with an
average of .160 for his three hits Satur
day. Gardner, with three hits out of
seven times at bat, leads the regular
players of both teams at .4, and "Duffy"
Lewis 1 second with -STB. A pitcher Is
batsman of ths Phillies also, Alexander
having an average of .333, the only mark
above .300 held by any member of his
team. Cady and Thomas of Boston;
Stock. Niehoff and Burns of Philadelphia
have gona hltless so far.
From outward appearances, ths strain
of tha games last week did hot greatly
affect ths contending players. They ar
rived on ths same train from Philadelphia
and took their off-day hero mush as they
would any Sunday In 'ths regular seoson.
Members of both teams went to church
In the forenoon. Several were out on the
golf links, whlls others mot are J during
ths dsy. A few of ths Phillies lounged
sbout their hotel, and soma went out to
ths Braves' field, ths scene of ths games
tofeiorrow, and where a bard played and
United States' Benator ' Borah spoke on
"Preparedness,"
Official Welcome.
The reception of ths ited Box was sig
nalised by an official welcotus by Mayor
Curley, who greeted them In behalf of
the . city as winners of ths American
league championship. The team had not
been her since their league petinsnlshtp
was made certain ten days ago, and
Mayor Curley mads their home-coming
today th occasion for celebrating a suc
cess which, ha said, "was only a step to
a greater victory."
Tha mayor had a hand at tho Back
Bay station, and as ths player i t ame out
of the trains, they heard again the
strains of "Tessle," their song of battle.
Wilson Has Happy
Trip with Fiancee
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10,-Presldent Wil
son and Mrs. Norman Gait, his fiancee,
returned to Washington last nlsht much
pleased with tha reception accorded them
In New Tork and Philadelphia on their
public appearance since their engage
ment was announced. The couple com
pleted to busy days by watching Bos
