MORRIS OFF TO CAPITAL
Democratic Chairman Goes to Confer
With Senate Committee.
Roland S. Morris, chairman of the Dem
ocratic Kinte Committee, went to Wash
ington today to confer with Demociatlc
members of the Senate Committee on
Privileges and Elections, which met to
day to decide whether the Senate shall
Investigate Senator Penrose's ''slush
fund "
The Democratic members of the commit
tee, while strongly In favor of an Inves
tigation of Senator Penrose's "slush
fund," do not favor throwing the lime
light on the methods by which Roger
Sullivan, of Illinois, tho Democratic can
dldatn for Senator In thBt State, obtained
his nomination. Mr Morris went to
Washington to appear beforo the com
mittee In response to a request made by
Senator Kern that the men interested
In the proposed Investigations appear be
fore the committee and present their
views today.
Their Votes in Select Coun
cil Sufficient to Override
Veto of Land Ordinance
Reeking With Scent of
Graft.
Votes of dual ofllccholders, bipartisan
sympathizers with the Republican Or
ganization, standpatters and boss-controlled
members In Select Councils made
possible yesterday the passage of the
ordinance to condemn land for use of
tho Municipal Court over the veto of
Mayor Blankenburg.
There was evident apprehension In Or
ganization ranks before the balloting on
the measure, that will condemn only a
small plot of ground at the northeast
corner of Slat and Race streets and
!cae the remainder of the block as a
fertile field for land speculation among
the usual beneficiaries of the city's land
purchases.
Judge Brown, of the Municipal Court,
has already made public a lavish de
velopment scheme for his court build
ings that will Include, virtually the en
tire city block.
It was obviously feared yesterday by
the Republican poo-urs fur tliH iiiiid
condemnation that tho 23 vot.i neces
sary to pass the ordinance over the
Mayor's veto could not be mustered.
Urgent calls were sent out to every mem
ber of the chamber who takes orders
from the bosses. William fi. Hexamer.
of the Fifteenth Ward, telegraphed from
Washington that ho would make every
effoit to return. He failed, however, to
appear In time to have his vote recorded
One member was rushed DO mites by au
tomobile to cast his ballot.
DUAL OFFICEHOLDERS ACTIVE.
Conspicuous among the line-up of
Select Councllmen who voted to flout
the Mayor's wishes and to open avenues
for lavish expenditures by the Municipal
Court were county ofllccholders, whom
Mayor Blankenburg declared In his an
nual message to Councils last Thursday
to bo serving In tho legislative bodies of
thu city agalmt all good goernmentaI
policy.
Chief of these noteworthy dual office
holders was Thomas S. T. Mackleer. of
the. Twenty-fifth Ward, who receives a
salary of $2W a month ns clerk In the
Municipal Court. His vote alone saved
from dafeat the measure that will benefit
the source of his salary.
Among others who hold county offices
and whose votes helped to override the
Mayor's veto nh Marry Ransley, presl
dent of Select Council, who Is a mer
cantile appraiser; William J. Harring
ton, of tha Fourth Ward, employed In
tho ofrice of the Register of Wills!
George D'Autrechy, of Iho Seventeenth
Ward, a clerk In the ofTlco of the Re
corder of Deeds t William E. Flnlcy, of
iho Thirty-ninth Ward, a real estate
atscssorl Harry J. Trainer, of the Third
Ward, who has been a mercantile ap
praiser,' John F. Flaherty, of tho Thir
teenth Ward, a clerk In the Quarter
Sessions Court, ntul Eduard Buckholz,
ot the Nineteenth Ward, listed In tho
Manual of Councils as a real cstato as
sessor. . ...
Referring to the dual officeholders In
his message last Thursday Mayor
niankcnbunt said! "Hero nre men
charged with tho Important duly of
making lawn which govern tho com
munity, who. because of allegiance they
owe to political dictators, can block and
have blocked Important public measures,
end on the other hand have passed over
tho head of tho Chief Executive meas
ures which he disapproved and which
havo been recognized by the whole pub
lic ns against public policy."
FALSE TO CONSTITUENTS.
Thomas J. McGlnnls, elected by a
Democratic constituency In tho Sixth
Wnrd, cast his vote ns usunl In bipar
tisan sympathy with tho Republican or
ganization. Herbert L. Marls, tho Gib-boney-Koystono
representative, ot tho
34th Ward In the Select Chamber, simi
larly cast his vote with tho organization.
Elwood S. Davis, elected ns an Inde
pendent In tho 23d Wnrd, lined up with
tho gang.
Republican standpatters In Select
branch, who consistently boosted the ex
travagant plans of the Municipal Court
nnd voted yesterday for their tcallzatlon,
wero Charles Soger, of tho Seventh
Ward; Edwnrd Patton, of tho 27th Ward;
James E. Leniion, Varo's man In the 26th
Wnrd.
Although Common Council passed the
ordinance over the Mayor's veto laBt
Thursday, It was accomplished by n. bare
three-fifths vote, and Independent mem
bers later voiced their doubt that tho
veto could have been overridden In less
hasty proceduro than was adopted.
Even President McCurdy, of tho Com
mon branch, disapproved of tho land
acquiring ordlnnnce for the Municipal
Court. Yesterday ho favored cutting
from tho $11,300,000 loan tho $100,000 Item
for Municipal Court buildings. The at
titude of President McCurdy In opposing
the expansion plan of the city's
newest court nnd his championing of
the economical scheme to house the court
near tho present House of Detention Is
awakening considerable speculation
among Organization forces.
CAMP FOLLOWERS OBEDIENT.
Other camp followers of the organiza
tion held In Icush by Varo and Mc
Nlchol Influences, who voted yesterday
to over-rldo tho Mayor's veto wero
James Wlllard, of the Eighth Ward;
Alfred M. Waldron, of the Thh ty-flrst;
Louis Htitt, of the Twenty-ninth; Wil
liam H. Qulgley. of the Twenty-eighth;
