JtdHER SYSTEMS ARE TIED UP
NEW YORK, Nov. 27. The.Dela
ware, Lackawanna & yestern rail
road, whose lines are choked as far
back as Scranton with loaded freight
cars It cannot move, today Instructed
Its agents to accept no more freight
for export until further notice.
More than 6.000 loaded cars from
the west, all containing grain, feed,
flour, copper and hundreds of other
commodities, have virtually turned
the terminals "and sidings of the road
into a storage warehouse for weeks.
Some of the cars have been here for
fighty days.
Cars Ar Grrrmhrrr,
Inquiry at other railroad offices de
veloped that nearly every road with a
terminus here Is glutted . with freight
cars standing- loaded and Idle on sidings
for hundreds of miles back along the
Una and that other roads would follow
the Lackawanna's lead shortly.
For months New York, mouth of the
bottle through which pours the great
bulk of America's export trade, has been
clogged with freight In excess of tils'
iicllltlcs of the steamship companies at
tempting to handle It. The movement of
the big cereal crops and the unpreced
ented demand In Europe for copper, steel
nd other metals used in warfare has
swollen exports within the past sixty
days to figures undreamed of before. In
g' October alone exports to the value of
(J approximately 1176,000,000 left New York
on 393 ships.
Purpose of Check.
The temporary check to the Incoming
tide is for the purpose, it was said to
day of enabling the steamship compa
nies to catch up In part with the traffic
and to permit the railroads to clear their
terminals, and sidings. The Lacka

LONDON, Nov. 27. It Is stated the
Roumanian government has refused a
request of the Austrian and German
governments for their warships to pro

famous evangelist, today was forced
to request permission of the Trenton
C??. J.) Evangelistic association to
postpone the start of bis campaign
In that city for one week.
The intervals between the close of
the local battle for souls and the

1916. Dr. Clarence Menton, chair
man of the Trenton association, con

der way today. A New York delegation.
l eaded by Rer. C. L. Qoodell of St. Paul's

Tuesday to arrange for 6undy's visit to
that city. The campaign will probably
open there early in the fall of 1117, fol
lowing Chicago and Minneapolis meet

Square garden.

Methodist ministers In Baltimore are
exposing the closing of co-operat ng
churches dur'ng the Sunday campa.gn
there. Today the evangelist announced
that should the attendance be too large

ment. ,
The Christian Scientists today ' took
fucday at his word. Speaking yesterday
lefore 400 society women, "Billy" de
clared that he "liked to be sneered at and
ci iticised."
Scientist Talks Hack.
,oday Robert 8. Ross of New York,
prominent Scientist, stated: "If It were
rt't-slble for Jesus to appear among men
today, one of his first acts would m:st
certainly be to disclaim all of that which
is' commonly referred to as the modern
evangelist. There is a reason for Sun
day's opposition to Christian Scientists.
The moment one begins to make a study
of the Bible iti the light of our text book,
cne loses all taste for the gymnastic
brand of religion of which Sunday Is such
sn able exponent."
Men fond of athletics attending the Sun
day, meetings are asking what has be
come of Jack Cardlif, the ex-puglllst, who
was the physical trainer for Billy for sev
eral years. Though no mention is made
ol Jack at the Sunday home, the secret

t o extended.
Mr. Sunday rubbed his eyes."
"Oh. the Lord gent you. eh?" Well, old
chap. He did not say anything to me

request for the $10,00u was taken under

HAUSER TELLS OF
PLANJO ESCAPE
Alleged Murderer Might Have Made
Getaway from Wichita but for
Omaha Officers' Arrival.
WILL BE ARRAIGNED SHORTLY
That Art Hauser might have made
good hia escape from the Wichita
jail if Omaha officers had been a day
later In their trip to get him was dis
closed by the prisoner yesterday
morning-.
It seems that In the roof of the
bathroom of the Jail is a round trap,
painted on the inside like the rest of
the Interior and practically un
noticeable. A trusty "who had
planned to make his escape by this
means, but was to be paroled before
he had occasion to try It, confided
his secret to Hauser.
Hauser had been confined In '.hq
Wichita Jail two weeks, and acordlng to
the regulations, was entitled to a bat.
He had asked for It and received the con
sent of the officials. It was his plan to
wrap himself in i his blankets, -enter the
bathroom, force the cover from the trap,
and with a rope maderom the blankets,
slide from the roof to the ground The
arrival of Omaha officers the day before
the bath was scheduled prevented the at
tempt. Barns Recosrnlsrs Man.
W, T. Hause, whose home was robbed
by Hauser, and several guests forced to
deliver their valuables, came ,to police
headquarters Saturday, with Douglas
Bowie and C. E. Bums, who wero at. the
House house party. Burns saw' Hauser
for the first time and recognized him
Immediately. "Your watch Is down In
Wichita," said Hauser. "It was a mighty
good timepiece, but I had to part with
It," he continued.
Hauser further intimated that If he hud
got away from Wichita, It was his Inten
tion to get to the southern border as
fast as possible and over Into Mexico.
"You never would have got me then," he
asserted, , '
In regard to the shooting of W. H.
Smith, Hauser refuses to talk, merely
saying, "I'll tell my story to the Judse
and Jury." ,
-Although it has not been definitely de
cided as yet. It Is believed that Hauser
will be arraigned the early part of the
week. He has already intimated that he
Intends to waive preliminary hearing, and
after being bound over will be taken at
once to the county Jail. "We've got
him," asserted Maloney, when asked if
he thought Hauser nyuld be convicted
of the Smith murder.
Allies Continue to
.-Land Men in Large
Numbers at Saloniki
LONDON. Nov. 27. Allied troops con
tinue to land at Saloniki In large num
bers. A Reuter dispatch, filed yester
day at Saloniki, says that Important Brit
ish reinforcements reached that iort on
Thursday and were landed Immediately.
After the occupation of Prlstlna by
the Auatrluns and (Jermans, the message
says, the main body of Serbians re
treated in a southerly direction. Tlie Ser
bians were unable to maintain their po
sitions In the Katchanlk region, owing
to tho greatly superior forces of the
Invaders.
Official announcement has been made
to commanders of the allied troops at
Saloniki of the guarantees given by the
Greek government relative to freedom of
action of their armies. Winter has set
In earlier than usual In the Balkans.
It Is expected military operations on both
sides will be greatly hampered thereby.
Steamer Zealandia
Arrives at New York
NEW YORK, Nov 27.-The American
steamer Zealand la, which was recently
boarded and searched by an officer and
men from the British cruiser at Pro
greso, Mex., arrived here today and re
ported having been pursued last n'gtit
by an unknown cruiser off the New
Jersey coast between Brlgantlne Hlioals j
and Tuckers Beach. The night wai un-
usually hazy and the Zealand! ran inside
the three-mile limit and escaped.
The Zealandia has on board Its original
cargo cf rosin.

NEW FRENCH LOAN
IS A HUGE SUCCESS
Subscriptions to New Issue of War
Bonds Estimated at Four Bil
lion Dollars.
GOLD FROM PRIVATE HOARDS
PARIS, Nov. 27. Paul Leroy
leaulieu, the economist, estimated
today that subscriptions to the new
Fiench war loan may amount to
C0,000,000,000 francs ($4,000,000,
000). Of this amount perhaps one-half
will be cash subscriptions, tbe re
mainder representing conversion Into
the new loan of earlier issues of
treasury notes and national defense
bonds. No official figures are' yet
available, and other estimates of the
total are at wide variance with that
ojf.M. Leroy-Beaulleu.
Offioials of the Treasury department
express great satisfaction with the results
thus far. Linta.of subscribers at the bank
of France and many other 'places today
were as long as these which waited
yestorday.
Promptness with which all classes have
responded to the call of Finance Minister
Rlbot has given rise to many odd in
cidents. A man with the cap and blue
blouse of a peasant was asked at the
Bank of France what denominations of
bonds he desired. The clerk Judge from
his appearance that he would, subscribe
for a 100 to 1,000 francs.
"I don't care," the peasant responded.
"Tho less paper the better. But give me
KiO.OiW francs worth."
He paid one-tenth of this sum In gold.
A significant detail of the loan sub
scriptions is the increase of gold held
by the Bank of France, coming from
Private hoards.
Building Trades
Make Concession
to the Carpenters
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 27. The Build
ihg Trades depsrtment of the American
Federation of Labor annulled today the
decision of the department made at
Tampa, Fla., several years ago, giving
to metal workers the right to make and
erect metal trim and Instructed Its of
ficers to draft sn agreement to settle a
dispute between metaf-workers and car
penters, which has caused many strikes
and great money losses for years.
The action, which wiped out the prs
ylous settlement whtMi has caused much
friction, left the entire matter ungov
erned by any rule or regulation, delegates
said, pending a written agreement be
tween the two parties'to the controversy,
which "officers were Instructed to draft.
The resolution was adopted by a vote
of 5 to 6. It was a substitute for one re
ported out by the resolutions committee
without recommendation.. The orlginat
provided that the metal workers should
be awarded the manufacture of metal
trim and carpenters the Installation of it.
