There it halted and left to its! sleep the body of Mary Jane Sunfinal day-Stowell, who gave to the world the evangelist of modern times. greatest BILLY TALKED ONE MINUTE. In his 1-minute talk to the old friends and neighbors at the funeral services today Billy Sunday said: "Mother might have been buried in any clime, in the most picturesque place, amidst the most noted scenery--she might have slept on the banks of the Hudson--anywhere her heart desired. But her heart in the last days turned with longing to the old trees with which she was familiar.

Here she asked to be laid away." And there she was laid away under the branches of a great oak on one side and a tall evergreen on the other. evergreen she had planted years ago, with her own hands, and as she planted it, a monument to those she loved and had lost, a small boy stood by her side watching her at her work. That boy was her youngest son, favorite of her heart, and the world knows him now as Billy Sunday. HE WEPT 'NEATH HER TREE. Mr.

Sunday himself stood under the shade of the evergreen today, taking place there by choice, and looked on with tear dimmed eyes while her coffin was lowered in the grave. The grave itself is Just between those of her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Squire M. Corey, and on either side are simple headstones marking where were buried two sisters and three children.

When the Rev. T. E. Thuresson, pastor of the Methodist Church here, of which Mrs. Sunday had been a member, closed his short funeral sermon, Billy Sunday stepped to his mother's coffin and said: "I would like to to you old neighbors and friends thank you speak, for your kindness and your sympathy in welcoming us back to this town where we lived among you.

I do not know what I would do if I should come back here and not find the old familiar friends who were so good to us, when as a boy I sold vegetables from the farm along these streets." THE TOILING HANDS AT REST. He named over a list of old friends who were in the audience. "The hands that worked so hard for us boys then are now at rest. She mended our clothes, she soothed us to sleep, comforted our little sorrows. In those days you were our friends.

thank you for this last service of love to us. "I remember once when we were small lads (the other boy was Edward), she told us to go out and cut some wood. It was almost dark and we were afraid to go alone. We said, 'Mother, if you will go with us we not be So mother went with us and stood by, and every once in a while we would look up and see if mother as still there, until we had finished the work. "So I know that mother will watch over me yet until I have finished my work, and God will say, 'It is enough; come up here to and I shall see her again.

"I would like to speak to you," Mr. Sunday said, turning to the coffin, "but I cannot. A bird with a broken wing had as well attempt to fly as that I should try to speak to you now." ALWAYS WAS GOOD TO MOTHER. Women were sobbing and men were in tears when Sunday closed with the reference to the resting place of his mother on the old home farm. In her last days she had no need to fight against obstacles of any kind.

Billy Sunday has cared for his mother abundantly since he grew to manhood. But as Ames remembers her, she was the mother hard pressed by circumstances. Even in that day Ames recalls the fact that William was a great stay to her. The old time citizens here who knew them will not admit that Billy Sunday ever was an unworthy man. AMES FOLKS BILLY'S CHAMPIONS.

"He was good to his mother," the Women here say of him, "even when he was a little fellow." "That boy always was a worker," the old men say. "He helped his mother and worked hard." One need not stay in Ames an hour to understand why Billy Sunday is not afraid to challenge the of sin to look into his past life. hosts. people here are his champions. Today brought out the affection the people of the town have for him.

It was the simplest of services that were held over his mother. It was such a funeral for all the world as would be given a respected resident of any old home town. There was nothing of the notoriety seeking feature about it. There was no curious, staring crowd to mar the memory of the scene. Those who attended the funeral, and went to the grave, for the greater part, were acquaintances of intimacy, old neighbors, close friends and relatives.

THAT THE crowd CHURCH was not WASN'T large. FILLED. The Methodist Church, the biggest in the city, was only comfortably filled. At 9:30 o'clock, a half hour before the hour of the funeral, a reporter for The Star went to the church expecting it to be filled. He found less than a dozen there, old folks who are accustomed to going early for any service.

Up in front some women were placing the flowers on the casket and about the altar. The flowers themselves were those that had been gathered from the gardens of Ames this morning. If there was a cut flower design of any kind there it was not conspicuous. At the close of the services the coffin was opened and the crowd passed by, as they do at old home town funerals. The hearse that carried the coffin was pulled by horses, and the pallbearers rode in a town hack.

Not one thing was done that would not have been done at the funeral of Mary Jane Sunday, old resident of Ames, if her name had not been 80 famously linked with one the world clamors to hear. CREDIT TO BILLY'S MOTHER. Here in Ames it is unanimously believed that whatever mighty work Billy Sunday has rendered to the world 1 is very largely because of the influence of the mother who was buried today on the old home farm. Mrs. Sunday was 76 years old.

She was born in Indiana, near where she passed away last Sunday morning in Vincennes. She was married three times. First to William Sunday, who was killed in the war. Next to G. A.

Heizer, and later to S. E. Stowell. None of them is living. Three sons survive her: Edward Sunday, who lives in South Dakota; William A.

Sunday and Roy Heizer, Hood River, Ore. Mr. Sunday and "Ma" Sunday will remain here a few days, and then will return to Winona Lake. From there they will go to their summer home in Oregon by way of California. Mr.

Sunday will not enter the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore at present. SYSTEM IN SEWING FOR ARMY. Girls Will Organize Clubs Throughout the United States.

MAY AVERT A BREAK No Word From Carranza, so Whether War Has Been Prevented or Postponed Is a Question. OTHER DEMANDS TO HEED Until Carranza's Reply Comes There'll Be No Decision About Wilson Going to Congress. Attitude of the "First Chief" Toward the United States Still Grave Matter. WON'T HALT TROOP MOVES Preparations for War to Go OnFurther Negotiations Easier Now, However. Washington, June -The twenty-three United States troopers captured in the fight at Carrizal have been released, according to unofficial dispatches, and an immediate break between the United States and the de facto government of Mexico has been averted by such compliance with one American demand.

Whether a state of war has been prevented or merely postponed, no one here would attempt to say tonight. Official information as to the attitude of General Carranza was lacking. Until his response to Secretary Lansing's note, dispatched Sunday, making two peremptory and distinet demands, is received, there will be no decision on whether President Wilson shall lay the crisis before Congress. Relieves the Tension. News of the release of the prisoners, received early tonight in press dispatches, brought undisguised relief to high officials.

It was accepted as correct, although no announcement had come through official sources. Moreover, it was assumed that Carranza, impressed with the urgency of the situation, had ordered the captured cavalry. men started for the border without waiting for his announcement of the action to reach Washington. While it is generally conceded that this move lessens tension and makes the crisis less imminent, no one conversant with the grave problem is losing sight jot the fact that the all important question of Carranza's attitude toward the American expedition across the border to protect the territory and citizens of the United States from bandit outrages remains unsettled. It the de facto government.

stands upon the orders to General Trevino to attack Pershing's men when they move otherwise than toward the border, the situation actually is just what it was before except that there now is a possibility of diplomatic negotiation that did not exist while the Americans were held prisoners at Chihuahua. War Moves to Go On. The preparations of the United States for war will go steadily forward. There will be no interruption of the rush of national guardsmen to the border and General Funston will continue disposing of the forces under his command as though he expected an immediate attack from the Mexicans. The fact that Carranza has complied with one of the demands is accepted by the more optimistic officials here as an indication that he is striving to prevent a break.

Even though be again should attempt to throw all blame for the Carrizal fight upon the American officers and insist upon his right to forcibly oppose any except northward movements of American troops, it is thought possible that he may state his position in such a way as to make further discussion necessary, During any negotiations, however, the United States will insist upon freedom of movement of troops in Mexico, and any attempt to interfere with them will be met by such force as is necessary. Persuaded Carranza to Yield. It is known that powerful influences have been brought to bear on Carranza in the past few days to make him at least turn over the American prisoners. Prominent Mexicans in the United States, as well as American bankers and business Interests with Influence in Mexican affairs, have flooded the first chief with messages. They all sent him the same warning -that the United States government meant business and that to hold the prisoners would mean war.

Secretary Baker waited at the War Department until late tonight for a report from General Funston on General Trevino'8 announcement that he had sent the cavalrymen to Juarez to be set free. He finally went home without the report. President Wilson and Secretary Lansing also retired without hearing of the news except through newspaper cor- respondents. PRISONERS ON WAY OUT. Troopers of Tenth Are Expected at Juarez This Morning.

Late this afternoon it was announced from the commandancia in Juarez that a message had been transmitted over the Mexican telegraph which stated that the twenty-three negroes of the Tenth Cavalry captured at Carrizal, with Lem H. Spillsbury, Mormon scout, had been removed from prison. The message added that the men, with their arms and accouterments, under heavy guard, had been placed on a Mex.

ican Central train bound for Juarez, where they expected to arrive tomorrow morning. The telegram conveying this news was addressed to Brig. Gen. George Bell, jr commander of the El Paso base. It was signed by Gen.

Jacinto Trevino, commander of the Mexican Military District of the Northeast, whose headquarters are at Chihuahua City. General Bell, in keeping with his custom of maintaining close secrecy regarding all military developments, refused say whether or not he had received the message. He said that all ments must come from General Funston at San Antonio. On receipt of word that General Funston had given out the contents of the message, he said that no escort would be sent to meet the prigoners in the morning, but that an ficer would be delegated to take command of them and lead them to Fort Bliss. Mexican officials tonight were happy over the turn in events.

Andreas Garcla, Mexican consul at El Paso, said: "This shows that we don't want war unless it is forced upon us." TO MOTORIZE ARMY IN WAR. Command of Railroads Will Be of L.ittie Aid to Mexicans. EL PASO, June Coincident with reports that -Carranzista forces have been concentrated with a view to holding the railroads of Chihuahua In the event of hostilities with the United States, American military authorities here were taking steps today that would render them practically independent of railroads for the transportation of troops and supplies. A train of twenty- armed motor trucks with fuel tank cars and repair trucks arrived today and was assigned to the local brigade, while at the office of the depot quartermaster it was announced that two additional truck trains are expected to arrive from eastern factories tomorrow. Steps been taken also looking toward the commandeering of such trucks as are available in El Paso should occasion warrant.

Many of the trucks in use here and in the field are equipped with a removable wheel device, by means of which they can be used as locomotives on railroads, and in the event of a break in the line, can be detoured over the highways.
