BILLY SUNDAY HOME
FOR SEASON'S REST
Hood River Friends Welcome
Great Evangelist on Re
turn to His Ranch.

Hoses of Health.
HOOD RIVER, Or., June 30. (Spe
cial.) Rev. "William A. Sunday re
turned home Thursday night from his
10 weeks' evangelistic campaign in New
York City, meetings characterized by
the forceful preacher as the most won
derful in which he ever has partici
pated. Today the Hood River friends
of the man, whose list of converted
Binners reach toward the million mark,
as they greet him, are told by Mr.
Sunday that he Is an automobile fan
and a farmer.
Billy Sunday declares that he Is here
to rest. ;"You tell the people of Ore
gon and Hood River for me," he said,
"that one of the warmest recesses of
my heart is reserved for them. I have
had scores of invitations, all the way
from the Adirondacks to Southern
California. t.n po and spend the Sum
mer as the guest of the different com
munities. I appreciated tiem, too, but
they could not woo me away from our
home here In the pure air of Oregon,
' where the sun shines so brightly on
the most wonderfully natural place I
have ever visited. I consider Pasadena,
Cal., as the most beautiful place that
I have ever seen, from an artificial
standpoint, but Mother Nature made
the Hood River Valley, and we human
beings can't improve on her work."
Mr. Sunday had no more than alighted
from the train C ursaay evening with
Mrs. Sunday and their youngest son,
Paul, when he began to question his
half-brother. I. C. Heizer, manager of
his Odell ranch place, about the fa
vor.' stock, Che crops, and, as eager
as a boy discussing an approaching
circus, he plied Mr. Heizer about the
big new Packard truck that was pur
chased last Fall. Garbed in raiment
of a ranch hand, Mr. unday was out
yesterday morning at the crack of day,
an& after a hearty country breakfast
he accompanied Mr. Heizer to the city
for the trunks, making his first trip
aboard the new truck.
Kaiser Not Billy's Friend.
To be sure, he was not averse to dis
cussing with his Hood River friends
phases of his great religious campaign
Just closed in the world's metropolis,
and when he turned his thoughts to
Bill Kaiser he lapsed into the direct
and forceful language that has made
the name of Billy Sunday famous, the
sight of that big two-ton Packard in
terrupted the flow of his words at fre
quent intervals.
A veteran, turf man never was prouder
of a record smasher than Mr. Sunday
of his new truck. "Isn't she a beauty?"
has his most frequent expression this
morning, and he pointed out to the
crowds that gathered to greet him the
fine points, according to his estima
tion, in his truck.
The big motor vehicle was pur
chased for Mr. Sunday for two pur
poses. It will be used In transporting
to market the fruit and other product
of his and his brother's ranches. But
It Is so arranged that seats can be
placed on the huge body, and, this ac
complished, according to Mr. Sunday's
plans, the car will be filled to over
flowing with the kiddies of the neigh
borhood, who will be given numerous
picnic treats this Summer, young Paul
Sunday playing host. The big vehicle
probably will be initiated Monday, when
Je Sunday family has planned to visit
a circus that will show here, the first
circus to make Hood River in the past
12 years, and the third in the history
of the Mid-Columbia,
Mr. Sunday did not linger long In the
city. "I am needed on the farm," he
said, "and I will be at the business end
of a hoe within an hour, getting an ap
petite for lunch. Between now and
September you will not see very much
of me. I am turning farmer, literally
speaking, a horny-handed son of the
soil. I like it. The Oregon air and
the work of turning the soil and the
pleasure of watching God's plants grow
Bives the vigor that makes possible my
many sermons. I want to be fit when
I leave here In September for Los
Angeles.
w York Meetings Wonderful.
"I want to congratulate you, Mr. Sun
day, on your New York campaign,"
someone said.
"Successful," replied Mr. 6unday.
"sir, that word doesn't fit the occasion
at all I can't find a word for it. It
was the most wonderful meeting I
have ever had. "Why we had the big
gest building ever erected for the ac
commodation of huge crowds. The tab
ernacle held 112,000 people and every
night for the entire 10 weeks it was
crowded. We had a total of 98.200 con
versions. On the last night 8000 men
and women confessed Christ. Do you
wonder that I beam gratitude and
thanksgiving. Never has my home
coming meant quite so much to me.
'Ma Sunday, who was operated on for
npappendicitis while we were In New
York and who was very sick for a
time, has regained her health, but she
needs 'this open-air life of the Hood
River Valley to bring her entirely back
to her old self."
Numerous congratulations ere tend
ered Mr. Sunday today on the mag
nanimity of his gift of 1156,000. the
total of his New York receipt., which
was divided, equally between the New
York City Y. M. C. A. and the Red
Cross. The minister declared that he
wished he could have given more.
"This great war that we Americans
are now engaged in for the deliverance
of humanity from the heel of Prussian
militarism," he declared, "while it is
' one of the awfulest things ever visited
on the human race, is doing a wonder
ful thing for us Americans, in that it
is drawing us together. In my stay
in New York City and my travel across
the continent and a week's stay in our
old home in Winona Lake, Ind., I failed
to find a Republican or a Democrat.
Kverybody was American. I'm poorer
because or the great war. and millions
of other fellow countrymen are Just
like me, but I am healthier and hap
pier. Tne sacrifices that we are being
called on to shoulder are wonderful
benefits. They are leveling -us.
Vight Is Against Autocracy.
"And what do I think of the war
I have no fight with the people of
Germany. Dut I have a mighty big one
with Kaiserism. Prussian autocracy
must die or we will. That's all there
Is to it. Both of us might talk until
we were black in the face, but that's
ail there is to it. But, thank God, the

American people are aroused to the
necessity of the hour, and let me tell
you that Just as sure as you and I are
standing here beside this truck, the
first of the Hohenzollerns is doomed."
During the course of his interview
Mr. Sunday related an experience he
had in New York City on his meeting
with Captain von Reutelen, charged as
a German spy. "The man refused to
shake hands with me because of my
charges and bitter attacks on the Kai
ser." he said. "I did not lose any time
in lerting him know my sentiments,
and I told him that I would see him
and all like him in hell before I re
tracted one utterance or thought about
his Kaiser." ,
The news that Mr. Sunday will par
ticipate in the local Fourth of July
celebration as a loyal Hood River citi
zen and as one of the day's orators
has given a stimulus to the plans, al
ready the most elaborate ever made
for a local Fourth of July celebration.
William A. feunday, Jr., second son
of the evangelist, will Join his parents
here within the next 10 days. The
young man, accompanied by Bill Butler,
well-known driver for the CalHlac
Motor Car Co., is headed overland for
Oregon in a big touring car recently
purchased by Mr. Sunday.
KILLING HELD ACCIDENT
CORONER'S JURY EXONERATES
liAIVE WYLAXD.
Cattleman Mistake Companion of 20
Years for Deer, and Shoot
Him Through Neck
MED FORD, Or., June 30. (Special.)
"With tears streaming: down his face
and often unable to continue his story
because of his emotion, Lane Wyland,
raw-boned, hard-handed cattleman of
the Meadows district, told a Coroner's
jury here today how ne happened to
kill Dave Cottrell, fellow cattleman,
neighbor and clcse friena for many
years, while hunting: stock on the range
last Wednesdry morning. So impressed
and moved were the jurymen witu the
man s story that as soon as he con
cluded they rendered a verdict exoner
ating: him of all blame and denning the
death as accidenta.1.
For 20 years Wyland and Cottrell
have worked together in the cattle busi
ness, and last Wednesday as usual they
started out together to salt their herds.
Both men were armed, , as predatory
animals are numerous in that vicinity.
They separated, but later when Wyland
saw a bush move, thinking it was a
deer feeding, he took careful aim and
fired. The agonized cry which followed
the shot gave Wyland some premo
nition of his tragic mistake. Dropping
his gun and rushing to the spot he ar
rived just in time to raise his friend's
head, who, shot through the neck, died
in his arms.
The shooting caused a great sensa
tion in the Evans Creek section, as both
men are prominent in the community,
belong to well-to-do pioneer families,
and their devotion to each other was a
matter of frequent comment.

manner, and a programme was worked
out which was announced today. Some

routine business of the association. At
noon a buffet luncheon will be served
to the members at the Umatilla County
