p-f 'f v " " - EVENING LEDgffR-frHILADELPHlA, TOESlDAt, SEPTEMBER 15. 1914. 11 MELANCHOLY DAYS ARE COME, SADDEST FOR CITY BEGGARS r 1 Hard Times for Mendicant Army, Due to the Police. fimmy Conners in Correc tion, "Slats" Despondent, "Shoestring Mary" Gone. Hard times lmvo befallen the beggar and tho profession Is not what It used , be. Men who once "made" 15 to 18 a day have been cither driven from tho itrcets or are serving sentences In the House of Correction. Even Jimmy Connors, who was tho llfo of a saloon near Eighth and CatlowhlU streets, Is In the Houso of Correction, md what grlovcs James most Is that he cannot get out, nlthough ho hired two Irwycrs to accomplish tho object. imes got out of tho "Correction" t i , Just for brief broathlng spells, will,, his attorneys argued writs In the courts, but oach tlmo James was re turned. Ho Is mourned by his vnlet and his companions. Yes Jnmes, tho beggar, has a valot. ........ In some manner Connors tost 00111 ms arms. It happened when ho was a child and he does not know exactly how tho accident occurred, but It was a lucky accident, he thinks, for slnco then James has not worked. He had a valet and tho funds to keep moro or les3 In stato of drunkenness. Connors Is only one of nearly 300 beg gars who In tho last fow months liavo bcci driven from tho streots or sent to the Houso of Correction. He It was who openly boasted that ho never had bcon locked up for more than on hour or so. He always had nn attorney whom ho paid to keep him out of Jail. The attor ney, generally one wno couia araw a pathetic picture of Connors' affliction, so pathetic Indoed that Connors himself believed him when he was arraigned In court, but Connors afterward boasted to William von Bovorn, an ngent for the Philadelphia Society for Organizing Char ities, that he would not change positions with a man who was whole. WHERE CONNORS RULED HIS KIND. Near Eighth and Callowhlll streets Is a barroom. It Is dirty and dingy, but It harbors tho men who never work. Hero they assemble to drink "scats," a five cent whisky, when times are bad; to drink a hotter grade of whisky when fortune Is more kind. Times are now bad-nover wero worse. It Is hero that Jnmes Connors met his cronies. It was hero he carried tho tin box which hung about his neck during "working" hours Into which money flowed from charitably Inclined persons. Jnmes would empty tho box on tho bar, and Iip and his companions would drink until long after daybreak. They would not stop until the money from kind hearts had gone In a debauch. Then Jame would mark an unsteady course toward his room on Callowhlll street, accompanied by his man. Tho mar. would undress Connors and see him safely In bed. If Connors happened to be In that frame of mind that ho did not itmembcr or earn how much money he had, the man would return to tho saloon. If Connors was peevish nnd could re member to a nickel how much he had In the box fastened about his neck, the man would not return. He would dance at tendance upon James, and James was no easy master. Jacob Schmidt Is known to tho police ns "Slats." Ho expressed his opinion of organized charity, Its agents and the po lice today. JIMMY'S FRIEND "SLATS." "Slats" Is a pcrtonal friend, even when he la sober, of Jimmy Connors. When he li drunk he Is even more than a friend of Connors. "You can say what you please, but cops ain't no good, society agents are worse, and Phllly Is going to the dogs," Is quot ing "Slats" In nn expurgated manner. "Slats" gnztd mounrfully Into the empty whisky glass before him. He then looked hopefully toward his Interviewer, and at a nod from the mun he was con urslng with "Slats" rapped tho glass on the bar to be lotllled. He brightened per ceptibly after two or three drinks nnd In an optimistic mood prophesied that Jimmy would soon be out of the "Cor rection" nnd the police would soon forget their animosity to the men who do not labor. INQUISITIVE PITTSDURGHER. A few weeks ago tho Society for Or ranlzing Charities received a telephono message from a young man. Ho said that he would like to make a call at the society's rooms If he was sure that he would not be arrested. He was guaran teed Immunity If ho visited the rooms A day later a well-dressed young man en tered the ofllce and introduced himself.

Mary was seen to give the alms she had collected to a man, who was six feet t.Ul nnd who at ono tlmo wns a horscshoer. He is her husband and has not worked for years. Mary gave up her baby nnd she and her husband disappeared. BLIND MENDICANTS. Blind beggars aro still giving the police trouble. They rcfuso to go Into Institu tions, for they say that they like family life and their homes will bo broken up lf they are driven from tho streets. Moro than 30 blind mendicants have been forced to stop begging. David Kline, who formerly playod a smnll organ at the corner of Firth and South streets, Is trying to got out of the House of Cor rection upon a writ of habeas corpus. Judgo Carr has tho writ under consider ation, but hns handed down no decision. In the Houso of Correction Is the blind and armlets man who for years stood on Market streot In front of tho postoftlce. He had a littlo houie on Spring street near Eleventh. This was presided over by a colored woman who posed aa his wife. The rows between the cripple and his black helpmate kopt Spring streot In good humor for years. Tho coloied woman once In a whllo would catch her helpmate so stupefied that he could not help himself. She would search his pockets for money and quickly transfer It to a Tenderloin saloon. She would drink ns much aa possible and then lenvo aB many dollars as she had left with tho bartender as a drawing ne count. When her husband would awake and find that ho had been robbed he would hunt up his black partner. If hor brain was not too befuddled she would leave homo for several days until many things wero forgotten, If bIio did not leave her husband would fight with her savatte style. He had no arms, but In prize ring p.irlnnce ho had a punch In cither foot. Tho days of the "parties" In Spring street are gone. Tho armless and blind man Is In the Houso of Correction for three months, His wife has disappeared. In tho plcturestiuo language of the Ten derloin, the woman "peddled" out the house when she learned that her hus band would be safely away for many long days, Siie bpent tho money bhe lecelved for thu fuinlturo on whisky, and when the money was gone, she also dis appeared. There are but few of the beggars on the itreet today. The action of tho po lice and charitable organization has made the life a miserable one. A "panhand ler" Is seen occasionally at night on Arch street. Ho does not linger long. Whon he has obtained the price for n big beef stew and n what he styles a "Hop" on Eighth or Ninth street, he ltaes the district. It Is still too early In the fall fur the House of Correction to hold out any Inducements to the panhandler.

Prospects for savins Uto J100.000 steamship Atlantic City from tho treacherous grip of the Inlet shoals which wrecked two sister vessels of tho Atlantic City Navigation Company and sent the lino into bank ruptcy were brightened today, when It was found that during tho night the liner, under its own power, had materially Im proved Its position. Only a short space of sandy ledge now separates the Atlan tic City from deep water and line offi cials aro confident tho cratt will float on the next high water, probably about 3 o'clock, this afternoon. Edward I Foster, treasurer of the Union Trust Company, Washington, Pa., one of tho passengers taken from the Atlantic City yesterday, made positive de nial of sensational reports that passen gers wore lashed to the rails and to the must when the Atlantic City first struck In a violent northeaster on Sunday, or that Captain Townsend, the veteran skipper, refused at any time to set the passengers ashore after the stranding. "He simply convinced us thnt It would be n foolish thing to attempt to go ashore In tho midst of the gale on Sunday whon the ship was perfectly safe," the Penn nylvanlan said. Captain Townsend remained on his bridge continuously until noon yester day when weakened by hunger and exhaustion.

They asked that a modern sewerage sys tem be constructed In the district. Doc tor Dixon replied that his department has, on previous occasion's, called tho atten tion of the city authorities to the lack of sewage facilities not only In Frank ford, but In other sections ns well. "The residents c-f Frankford and thtlr representatives evidently are surprised to discover." Fald Doctor Dixon, "that this department hns tried at various times to secure the co-operatlnn of the city of Philadelphia In remodeling and tho re building of sewer.s in various parts of the city. Chief Webster, a very honest and enterprising city official, is doing his bef t Along this line but the city has failed to make the necessary appropriation for the purpose. Of course, it Is podstble to ex plain why municipal galleries should not be mado to wait until sewers are reached, tout still v,e hope that when we call the attention of the city authorities to tho sewerage needs of Philadelphia they will co-operate with us In the matter."
