I called Mr. Cook up, at his mother’s solicitation, and asked him
to go and hear Billy Sunday on the first Sunday that he preached
a sermon for men only. Mr. Cook went to hear the sermon and
came back by St. Joseph’s hospital, and told me he was very much
impressed with Billy Sunday, and that he intended to go to hear
him again; and his mother afterwards remarked to me that it was
mighty hard to get Will to go to hear Billy Sunday st first, but
after that it waa hard to keep him away, that he went to every
meeting that he could go to. He was made lieutenant of reservs-
tion of one side of the reservation of the Billy Sunday Tabernacle,

at restaurants, One morning after breakfast, while I waa waiting
for a street car, Mr. Candler came up and shook bands with me,
told me he was mighty glad to see me out of the hospital and he

until 6 o'clock.” I went right on over to his office. He had the
door open into the room. I can’t tell all of what happened during
that visit, it’s too disgusting, The first part of the visit Mr. Cand-
ler waa very affectionate, pulled me down on his lap, hugged me
and kissed me, but I finally left the office without having consented
to do what he wanted, He said he would expect me to eall him up

with her in connection ‘with the Atlanta Humane Society, and I
said, “I wish you would got interested in it because it certainly needs
somebody's interest, and he said—‘oh,” I said, “Don’t do anything
for it just because I ask you, but see Mrs, Rambo.” “Well,” he
said, “Do you want me to do this for Mrs. Rambo or for yout”
And T said, “Well, for her, I won’t be jealous,” and he said, “Well,

T told Mr, Hirsch one evening at the supper table that Mr, Cand-
