The speeches were shot through with evidences of tlie siuccrc regard held by congressional leaders for Mr. Moore's talents. Wit and banter nlso had their piny, The host was Congressman ' Isaac Bncharach, of Atlantic City, The guests were Mr. Moore's immediate colleagues in tho House. Not Thinking of Future Honors The Mayor-elect, in replying to the muny warm words of admiration nnd (ocourngement, in a voire shaken with emotion, snid hn had no thought of future honors: that his whole effort vtotild be bent "toward tho duty abend giving Philadelphia a first-class ad ministration."

"She will have," said Mr. Madden, "n real, live Mayor mid will no loriger he the sleeping beauty of the Enst." Mr. Madden said Mr. Moore's ability to look at all sides of questions fitted him pe culiarly to b" Mayor of Philadelphia. "If ever there wns a city," said Mr. Madden, "in which clilcapery, cupidity and double dealing were httempled to be used against a Mayor, Philadelphia was that city. But they will find that they cannot uso Mr. Moore as n grind stone for their nxes. They will find him n tnrtar. They will have to deal with him in the open. He will not look for graft but for decency." ' Congressman Fcss. of Ohio, said rhnt Mr. Moore was displaying the sumo ability in the selection of bis cabinet as was used by McKiuley nud Lincolu.

Let us reioico that the people of Philadelphia have a man for Mayor who has the nervo lo ne nonesi wuu himself nnd with his fellows. Uncle Joe Cannon's introduction was tho signal for the gathering to rise in hnnnr nf tlie Kesfor nf tllO HoUSC. Mr. Cannon, in u voice rich with feeling, said thnt his race was nearly run. bu that he hud faith that men ot the stump of Mr. Moore would carry on the tradi tions of Americn.ii patriotism, and, with prophetic light in his eyes, declared that America would in the final analysis solve all tlie great problems now stirrfn the world. Turning to tbe Mayor-elect, ho plnced his blind on the shoulder of tho retiring congressman nnd paid him such u tribute of affection and regard as one mnn seldom gets from another. "You nrn a young man," said Mr. Cannon. "I shall soon cross the line. Your life Is Hhend of you. I pray that n, nmnn tVinl- insnlred our soldier in the Revolution, in 181'.2, in the CWIr War, nnd in this last great world war will guido mid inspire you in the days to come. Mayor Bacharach, of Atlantic City, insisted that Philadelphia was a suburb of tlie shore resort, to which Mr. Mooro retorted by predicting that Atlantic Citv would soon bo annexed to Phil adelphia. Congressman Wnlsh, of Massachu setts, contributed this alliteration: "Mr. Mooro'u career will bo glittering, glorious, grand nnd gorgeous." Czecho-Slovak Cabinet Near Crisis Prague Dec. .1. (By A.

Lnmbcrton will not announce any appointments until after Mayor-elect Moore has completed his cabinet. Then the sheriff-elect will submit to the Mayor-elect for his approval the men he wishes to name for the four most Important offices under tho sheriff. These are the chief real estate deputy, personal deputy, special deputy and the sheriff's counsel. "I regard Mr. Moore as the head nf the next administration," said Sheriff elect Lamberton today. "Whlln my office does not come under his admin istration, nevertheless T want to go to him and submit the names nt those I intend tn appoint nnd ask him if he has any strenuous objection to any of them. "If be objects to any of those X hnvc in mind I will hold over thnt ap pointment until we can thresh the mat ter out." Mr. Lamberton said he did not wish to take up the matter of appointments with the Mayor-elect now "because he is too busy with his own appoint ments." Tho determination of theshcritT-elect to consult Mr. Moore on his appoint ments will be regarded in political cir cles as a further indication thnt the new Mayor is to be tlie party leader in the city. It is considered certnin in political circles that Frank J. Wiilnrd, special deputy, will not be retained by .Mr. Lamberton. The special deputy always is considered the closest emploje to the sheriff. Willard is the first lieutenant of Sheriff Ransley in the Second ward. Mr. Lamberton will probablv solcct a personal friend to succeed Willard. "Are there many applicants for places in your office!" the sheriff-elect was asked. "Yes. everybody wants to be real estate deputy," he replied. "That is the best salaried positron in the of fice, enrrying a salary of StJOOO a year." (Ieorge McCurdy now is real cbtate deputy. Jt is almost certain tnat ueorge w. Russell will be retained ns active so licitor. The )lace now held by for mer Senator Owen II. Jenkins ns so licitor, it is said, will be abolished. In political circlets John A. Voorhecs. secretary of the Republican Alliance, is mentioned frequently for a place under Sheriff Lamberton.
