The association is in need of money and those who cannot attend • Tuesday's meeting should -not fail to send their contribution.Tlio decision is the result of the quo warranto proceedings brought by members of council and heard by Judge Corbet at the last term of argument court. II. S. WILL HOI ™ ns HEXICAN POLICY Just at a time when thoughtful men were endeavoring to secure a reunited Republican party in Pennsylvania and when unselfish loyalty was needed to make possible a Republican victory there was instituted a campaign of slander and abuse, directed at me personally, which I resent so absolutely that I shall tell the people of Pennsylvania of it and leave to their sense of decency and fair play the facts here set forth. The removal of Dr. T. R. Williams, president of the association, and his wife, treasurer, from the city, will be a rather serious blow to the association but the members are determined that the association is going up and on if human endeavor can do It. NEW NINE SCALE IS OFFERED BY OPERATORS The court's decision filed this morning, holds that, by reason of Messrs.

In the hotel in Philadelphia when I started to the 11:15 p. m. train for Pittsburgh. Walking to the train. Mr. Rilling Informed me that when he reached Washington and met Senator Oliver the Senator locked his door and produced photographic reproductions (1) of a check dated the latter part of September, 1914, drawn by David B. Oliver to me for $1,000, (2) of my indorsement on back of same, (3) of a telegram I sent Mr. Oliver, and (4) of a letter following the telegram thanking Mr.. Oliver tor the check. It was intimated that unless I withdrew from the contest this whole thing would be given publicity, the charge being that this was a campaign contribution which I did not report in my expense account Hied in November, 1914, with the secretary of the commonwealth. I said to Mr. Rilling I did not care how soon it was printed, as I had a definite remembrance of the case and that It was known fully at the time by at least two persons in whom I had perfect confidence. I met Mr. Rilling agnln on the following Tuesday, upon my return from Pittsburgh, and we wont more at length into the details of the matter. At this time we were assured by him that we could drop the matter, as it would not be heard of again. In all this Mr. Rilling was only the Invited participant and the gentleman he always is. Rilling' Goes to Washington EVANGELIST ADVISES HEARERSTOSQUAREUP WASHINGTON, D. C., Apr. 8.—A most serious muddle in the Mexican situation follows the development that the original order sent to General Funston made it specifically plain that the Pershing expedition coulil 'be withdrawn from what had been regarded as its chief cfbject— '"the capture of Villa." In the absence of Secretary of War Baker, who was testifying before the house committee on military affairs, General Scott, chief of staff, admitted that the original orders to General Funston were such that the American forces could be withdrawn at any time. Almost immediately the White House denied that there was to be any change of policy, and made the statement that the reason for making public the orders sent to Funston was to relieve General Carranea of the embarrassment caused by tho claim of members of his cabinet "that he was playing into the hands of the United States." The President >'as out of town on the Mayflower and Secretary Tumulty refused to make any explanation that would clear up the apparent friction with the army chiefs. Because of the increased seriousness of the Mexican situation and tho possibility that the German submarine crisis may be forced at any time, President Wilson, after talking by wireless with the State Department has cut short bis week-end trip on the Mayflower and is rushing back to Washington. He will arrive late this afternoon. laternatlonal Htm Service. The members of the league have not yet fully decided upon the advisability of endorsing a congressional candidate and some members of the league do not believe that it will be done. Messrs. Donahue and Blose have stated they will seek an appeal to the State Supreme court.

GENES, Of NEW YORK TO SPEAK IN SYNAGOGUE SUNDAY Says Church Members Cannot Talk Religion to the Men Whom They Owe Money. SPRING COT STOCK IN A SNOWDRIFT THIS HORNING Will Address Meeting nt 8:30 O'clock in Interest of Jewish Welfare Work. After All That Line of Stuff About Peter ftprankle and the Dandelions Too, Wasn't it pleasant to look out the window this morning and sec the beautiful white snow falling where yon had spaded the day before? And then to go out into the gladsome sunshine and dig the plow out of the aweetscented snowdrift and feel that in the afternoon when you had all of' the work done you could go and take a swim or a stick of cyanide—which ever you preferred. Spring is certain# a joyous thing along about August 3rd. And in June, my, remember what the poet said? Something like this, "There is nought so rare as a day in June." The experience of people in this section of the country teaches them that there Is nothing so raw as a day 'n June. Rare is alright for poets, but for facts raw is much more expressive.Here it is the eighth day of April and we are having one of the nicest January days o fthe year. And after all that talk about Peter Sprankle and the dandelion pickers and that •tuff. Wouldn't it make a person sick? The weather, to use an old saw, is Just one blame 'thing after another. Christianity has a commercial value, according to the sermon preached last night by Evangelist Robert L. Jones at the First Methodist Church and he told the audience that the man who doesn't pay his debts and ibelongs to the church will do more harm to the cause of .Christ than a dozen saloon keepers. declared that some people wIIUtbo to hell for two cents" and cliaUgtiged the church members to talk jjfliglon to„f their creditors. Jf' / "The Holy Ci$" was anwpmced as a special solo taj'lie sung tJflfs efeniug by Carl E. Burch, and Jne service promises to bff' of spcjrol Interest. Evangelist Jotyes will breach twice on the Sabbath jjjay, fiUri o'clock in the morning and the evening at 7:45 and everynlght next week with the exception of Monday. The audience last night was one of the largest of the week and Mr. Jones gave one of his searching discourses and spoke in brief as follows: A meeting in the interest of Jewish welfare work will be addressed tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock by Rev. S. L. Genes, of New York city, in the synagogue on Indiana street. Rev. Mr. Genes ia one of the best known workers on behalf of the Jewish race in this country." He is noted as a forceful Yiddish speaker, and has made welfare work a life study. While in Johnstown recently Rev. Mr. Genes addressed several nieetiugs, and was most favorably received. Tomorrow afternoon's address will probably draw a large attendance, and several important Jewish projects will be taken up by the speaker. Sprankle Mill Schools Closed For Term Friday The Sprankle Mills schools closed yesterday after one of the most successful terms in the school's history Forty-flve students were enrolled during the year, and at the closing exercises Friday those who took part acquitted themselves most creditably. About. 75 of the patrons of the school were present. G, C. IBloae is the school principal. " 'If our gospel ibe hid,' said the apostle Paul, 'it is hid to those that are lost,' and the first and most natural question that conies to our mind after reading this declaration Is, 'Who Is hiding tho gospel?' Just before our Master left this world He said to His followers, 'Ye are the light of the world,' and this wonderful gospel was left in the safekeeping of His disciples. Therefore if the gospel be hid, wo, as tho followers of Christ, are responsible.

I Gatty SellarB, the world famous or-' ganlst, gave his concert in the Cent-1 ral Presbyterian Church last evening to a crowded house.

It haB always been known to music lovers that the pipe organ was the most wonderful of instruments, but that it had so many possobllitle* In the hands, of an artist like Mr. Sellars was a revelation. During the rendition of the storm piece as played at the Lucerned cathedral, of the great organ seemed to. run through whole gamuts of human emotion, to speak, to whisper, to moan, and rage, to laugh and to weep.
