Sunday Evening At The Chautauqua Tent Will Never Be Forgotten By Those Who Attended The Big Tent Was Crowded To Its Utmost Capacity An evening never to be forgotten by" hundreds of men and women in New Bern was Sunday evening, the sunn aay of inautauqua wecic tn tnis i city. The occasion was the Chautauqua Vesper service under the mamoth tent. All the churches had united in arran ging for the service. The ministers were present to take part in the pro gram, the members of the choirs were on hand to aid . in the singing. The weather was ideal for such an occasion and the great tent was crowded and all around- it men and women either sat or stood many went away being unable to find seats. 'A ... vner a lew appropriate musical selections by Mr. Graus and his party the Tyrolian Alpine Yodlers, the audi ence joined hearily in singing some of the sweet old hymns, such as "Day is Dying in the West." "Breakf Thou 'the Bread of Life," etc., and in response ive scripture reading and prayer. Then came the great feast, a sermon by Dr. Russell H. Conwell of Philadelphia, doubtless the greatest sermon ever heard in New Bern as many were heard to remark. Dr. Conwell is pastor of the. Temple Baptist church of Phila delphia, is founder and still the head of Temple University with over a thousand students and has in connection with his. work two hospitals and has for years traveled over the world delivering just I such great lectures and sermons as the" ones delivered here under the Chautauqua tent and at the First Baptist church Sunday morning. The tall broad shouldered statue, the wonderfully active mind, the keen personality, the deep desire to meet the needs of mankind, especially of youhg men and boys were some of the forces combined to drive' -home to the minds and hearts of his hearers the -perofound " truth ,whicli".,he was proclaiming. 1 - - , , " ' He prefaced his sermon by reciting incidents ; of boyhood end experiences Will Walt For Delegates To Get Together. THE END COMES TODAY No Need To Waste Valuable Time ' -. Without Getting -Results. NIAGARA, FA.LS, June ,30 Af ter a conference today between Am bassador DaGama of Brazil and Min isters Naon and Suarex it was an nounced that - mediation would form ally recess Wednesday until such time as the Constitutionalist dele gates and Huerta representatives could confer . . informally on Mexico's internal problem, . ,' y The mediators "come to this decision after reading General Carranza's note asking for time to consult his general as to the informal parleys. -.Vr :; ; Minister Cuares referred , to r the Carrania note as' "satisfactory',' fand sensible in its . explanation of the need for time. All ; the mediators arid their ' secretariat began immedia tely W make plans for departure to-i morrow or Thursday and it is expected that by1 the end of the. week Jhe entire mediation col nony will .have left here. Ntt 'time has been .set for reconvening of the mediation, but it is not believed that they will gather again for" another two or three weeks. '.:' ," ; f :- Carranza's note sets forth In po lite 'phrases the thanks of the' Constitutionalist- chief for .the invitation of the mediatnraio mnA tttL t confer - witnierta representatives over ij -rftn of a provisional pres ident of rfexico. '; v - - . r . . v.arrania gives no Inkling as to whether of not, the invitation will be accepted ultimately but explains that any change in the "plan of Gua dalupe, which is the platform of the Constitutionalist movement, ' requires the approval of the singatures to it. The plan provides for military conquest of Mexico City and the es tablishment of revolutionary gov ernmcnt there. " Neither did the note irive anv In formation as to how long it would take Carranra to consult his generals and cmeis. lie already has, had one weeks time in which to do it, but it Was freely' predicted that he niht wanf month or more. MEDIATORS CLOSE THE CONFERENCE AT f AGARA during the war' when as an officer in the Union army ' he commanded a regiment encamped: St New Bern. As a law student at Yale University he had been led to "renounce the spiri tual teaching of his parents, had join ed an infidel ' society, had perused infidel literature t get material for debates against the truth of God and of religions. When he became an officer in" the army and one of his subordi nates wanted to read the Testiment in his tent he rebuked hfm and commanded htm never to do so again. At the earnest insistence of tha young man how ever he was permitted to read the Book witn bis pack turned to his superior officer Captain Conwell had been presented with si very, beautiful sword which he prfced mest highly and he instructed this young servant in his tent to save the sword should anything happen to him It was fifty one eyears ago when the enemy charged down upon Captain Conwells' regiment escaped at Newport fifteen miles from New Bern, drove the men across the river and set fire to the bridge, but- VJohnnie" faithful to his captains' orders attempting to save the sword was burned so bad that he died, but the sword was saved. The said death led. to the Captain's' conversion and to then resolve to at tempt to do two' mens' work while he lives. Dr. Conwell stated that the two days in New Bern i -were wonderful and sad. It seemed that fifty one years had been blotted out and that he was living in yesterday . and today. He occupied the same room at the "Gaston' that he occupied fifty, one years ago, he went out to the old camping grounds. While telling this Wonderful ' story of his. life he arguedmost- eloquently against Infidelity, pleadeoTTor men-"" to obey natural religion instincts of man and urged deeper consecration to the service of life. r UPON T CLUE DHKL DEATH Sensational Developments. In Mur der Case.- -! . ; BLOODY GARMENT FOUND Police - Stilt Working.. On "Second Man" Theory State's Attoroney Faces Disagreeable Duty STAMFORD, CONN., June 30. Two late developments caused State and police officials here to discard today all theories of accident and t become convinced that Wallace A. Ballou was kilted by violence. J. These two developments, which will be brought out in the Coroner's in quest tomorrow afternoon,, are:'; ,' First State's Attorney-Elect Hom er S. Cummings has found gray hairs matted in the blood . stained r skirt removed by the police from the apart ment of Mrs. Helen M. Angle, in the Rippowam Building, in front of which Ballou was picked up dying, late last Tuesday night. ' :--T-'--f.:i'.. v:7-' I . Second Every suspicious stain ) p n the .' stairs , leading to Mrs. - Angle's apartment and on the rugs and flooring of her rooms has been found to "be a bleod " stain.' .:' ; J. i '-!. '.".."'-S . I Dr. Bruce S. , Weaver,' expert "from New York, Vill not reach a conclu sion as to the nature of the stains on the electric iron until tomorrow morn ing." . Tests on this, are being mads in a New York laboratory, it was learn ed tonight. v'V';' - Lack of Trail Puttied. ' .. , Mr. : Cummings" 1 Chief of Police Brennan said this morning that they believed it would have been impossible fdr Ballou to fall from the third to the second landing of the Rippowam build ing. But they were at a loss to explain how his body could have been brought from Mrs. Aigle's apartment on the third . floor to the second floor with out leaving a trail of blood. , They decided that the only way this could have been done was for the guilty persons or persons or some one else, to wrap a cloth about the vic tims head. ' Mr.- Cummings immedi ately made a careful examination of the black skirt. When the gray hairs which the po lice say are identical in color and texture with Ballou's were found ground deeply Into the stained cloth, the police believed- they h,id discov ered the clue they li.el Rour.ht. The theory h t', a 1' I id ;1S s BALLO wrapped in this garment. .Iutereatiags in 'this -icoonectio ' art statements, made by Mrs. Angle and her father, Leonard Blondel, to the police in the early investigation. ; Mrs Angle said she was in her undergar ments and did not have the black skirt on when she carried Ballou's body to the street from the -second landing, where she says she found it. When the character of these stains be came apparent Mrs. Angle saidvthat the police had misquoted her , and that she did have the skirt on' that night. "Not Blood," She Insisted. , She and Mr. .Blondel have insisted from the first that tihe stains' on the floor of the sitting room, just to the left of the piano, and a small stain on the .landing at .the entrance of -. the Angle apartment were not ' blood stains at all, Of the stain on the bal ustrade, which the police say has been partly washed off, Mr. Blonde) said: "That is not blood; it'' tobacco Juice." , ; I he stains above the second landing and in the apartment itself are " the only ones regarded as significant by J i: I . - ' ; J -.V . me yuuee iuu mr. cumnupS. - i -Nobody has disputed the gruesome character of the broad and unbroken trail which, led from the' second land ing to the body on the sidewalk. ,r . Fourteen samples of stained ma terial were given to Dr. Weaver i for enalysis. They included chips from the floor of the apartment, bits of grass rugs in the living and bed rooms, and pieces of concrete from the land ings. Also there will be presented at iZS7-A k bloodstained spectacles, which were found by the police in a box in the apartment, and the empty whiskey bottle that was in Mr. Ballou's jacket pocket when he was discovered. The police say it is remarkable that Mr. Ballou could have fallen down a flight of rtair. without breaking either the glasses or bottle.
