como here was extended while tho
evingellst was in Philadelphia, only a
few Unptlst clergymen went along.
They were in ravor of getting an evangelist-
for a campaign among their own
churches. Many of theso havo changed
their views and will Join the cfTort to

Uno of the chief opponents of tho
evangelist's coming, tho "thr. Jay T.
Stocking, who was pastor 'of the Klrat
Congregational Church, haa left tho
clt to takea charge at Montclalr.
Clergymen said today they believed
the time was never moro opportune
than now for getting Mr. Sunday to
come because tho opposition to him has
largely dwindled except among those
denominations which do not believe In
his methods. Tho Presbyterian. Metho
dist and IJaptlst clergy here now are
practically unnnlmous In desiring a Sun
day campaign, nnd a number of llpls
copal and Lutheran clergymen want
him, thou,;h these denominations have
not gone on record as wishing him to

If there Is an opportunity to get Sun

years, n delegation of clergymen will be

COMMITTEE TO GET
LIVING COST HERE
Hearings on the Nolan bill for a
minimum wage ficalo of J3 per day for
all Government employes will bo con
tinued lata this afternoon by the Maher
aunrommittce or the House iaoor torn
mlttce. Nof morning session of the
subcommittee waa held.
Congressman Nolan expects the hear
ings to continue for a week or more,
A Government employe located In Han
Francisco, Mr. Nolan says. Is on his
way across the continent to represent
the Federal employes of that city.
Miss Florence Kthcrldirc.- treasurer of
tho newly organized Federal Kmployes
I'nlon. Is scheduled to como before the
subcommittee later today In advocacy
of the Nolan bill. Hho will present ng
u'es concerning the cost of living here.
Where sociologists, statistic, and
attorneys had failed, a clay bedaubed
grave-digger from Arlington Ceme
tery probably has turned the tide In
favor of the Nolan measure.
His plain story of trying to live on
HO a month, and keep a wife and a
little boy and girl, seemed likely to
result In a favorable report by the
House Committee. If so, Government
employes all over the country will
benefit.
The grave digger's wife will appear
tomorrow with her side of tho story.
She will tell the cost of things when
they married; how they have Jumped
since then; but how the Government
wages have remained stationary slnco
the Urns before the civil war
The grave digger's chief complaint
wan that war had raised the price of
navy beana from 8 to 20 cent, a pound.
With hominy, navy beans form the
family diet. Occasion!)' they have
oread never meat.
Give Oyster Roast.
The membership committee of the
Hoard of Trade will give an oyster
roast on March 31. at the Builders and
Manufacturers' Exchange, 711 Thir

Following tho discovery of a defeat In
the highway plana, condemnation oo
ccodlngs for widening tho stroet to a
width of 110 feet recently wero with
drawn.. S. R. Bowcn. secretary of the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Company,
told tho board that the adoption of tho
120-foot plan would leavo tho tracks of
this" company 'In tho center of the road
way. If the 110-foot "width Is decided unon,
h said, it would be necessary to re
move the tracks a distance of five feet
In order to locate .mem in tne center.
Quoting from ah act of Congress pass
ed In 1699 glvlnc 4he railway company
tho use for all time of iti thirty-foot

Howen contended that It would be
unfair to require thclr.rcmovo) after ,the
dedication of the strip tor highway pur

moval of the tracka. he aald. Is 100,000.
Thomas Tl. Llttlcpagc, attorney for
the Washington, Baltimore and An
napolis Electric Railway Company, op
posed tho proposed widening. To widen
tho thoroughfare either to a width of
110 or 12li feet, ho said, would necessi
tate the removal of thrco of the com

station nt Fifteenth and H streets.
At tho request of Attorney Clarence

of property affected, tho hearing waa
