this morning. "The facts and the figures
bearing upon this will bo placed in the
hands of our workers In overy division

MORRIS ANSWERS PENROSE
Denies Statement That Civil Service
Code Has Been Violated.
Roland S. Morris, Democratic Stale
chairman, In a formal statement yester
day, classed aa "complete, wilful and
unmitigated misstatements" the charges
of Senator Penrose that there had been
violations of tho Civil Service code n
the Consular Department nt Washington,
Senator Penrose charged that experi
enced men In tho Consular Service have
been replacd by hordes of hungry of
flo seekers with no qualifications or ex
perience for their duties.
Penrose forgets," Mr. Morris said,
"that the people read tho papers and
know tho facte. Not a single Item In
the Civil Service code of tho Consular
Department has been abrogated. Not a
single appointment to tho Consular Ser
vice has been mado without civil ser
vice examination.

WIFE IN COLLUSION,
SAYS DITSON, TO GET
. DIVORCE EVIDENCE
Wealthy Clubman's Answer
Disregarded by Court,
Who Awards Alimony
and Counsel Fees.
NEW YORK, Sept. 25. Under a ruling
handed down by Justice Jaycox, of the
Supreme Court, In Brooklyn, Mrs. Esther
Dltson, of Ccdarhurst, L. I., wlfo of
James Dltson, a wealthy clubman of
Now York and Washington, has been
granted 250 a month alimony and $1000
counsel fees pending final settlement of
her divorce suit. The order waa granted
despite Dllaon's affidavit alleging that It
was arranged between him and his wlfo
that he would enter a hotel with a woman
and give evidence upon which to base a
divorce suit.
Dlston spends much of his time ln ex
clusive social circles In Washington and
Is a frequent visitor to Philadelphia. He
Is a member of the Chovy Chase nnd
Metropolitan Clubs, of Washington, and
is heir under the will of his millionaire
grandfather, Oliver Dlston, of Washing
ton. He Is a nephew of Charles H. Dls
ton, music publisher of No. 8 East 34th
street, this city. Tho Dlstons were mar
ried In 1903. Mrs. Dlston first heard the
stories that Induced her to watch her
husband when they were living In Wash
ington. Dlston's affidavit, admitting collusion
with the alleged knowledge and consent
of Mrs. Dlston, came unexpectedly in
answer to her divorce suit. In his affi
davit he said It was arranged between
himself and his wife that he would pro
vldo the necessary evidence.
Ho Bays that when Mrs. Dltson's de
tectives entered the room In a York hotel
here one evening last May and found him
with a woman, even the detectives were
ignorant of the plot known only to him
self and wife. Bo secret did he keep the
facts In the case, Dltson swears, that he
did not Inform his lawyer, Gilbert E. Itoe.
and permitted him to put In an unverified
answer denying Mrs. Dltson's charges.
Boa told Justice Jaycox that he was
unable to say whether or not collusion
would be used as a defense In the suit.
Boo added he had advised Dltson of his
Intention to withdraw from the case.
Counsel for Mrs. Dltson asked permis
sion to file an affidavit denying theio had
been collusion.

avenue. Tho educational campaign was
brought to a climax last night by a
large mass-ineeting In tho ballroom of
the Bollevuc-Stratford, under tho aus
pices of tho Home and School League.
Otilclaltj of the league expressed great
satisfaction today In tho Interest dis
played In "Safety Week," not only by
tho public at large, but by the railroads,
tho Rapid Transit Company and other
largo employers of labor who aro earn
estly trying to solve tho problem of In
dustrial accidents, most of which aro
preventable.
The problem of accidents and safety In
general was brought Into strong relief at
the meeting last night when Franklin H.
Wentworth, of Boston, shocked the audi
ence by bringing out tho general admis
sion that few of those present knew whero
the nearest fire box to their homos was or
how to give an alarm. Mr. Wentworth
said that the great majority of fires In
this country wore caused by tho careless
use of matches. Americans, he said, were
the most careless people ln the world
ln dealing with matches. The result of
this carelessness, Mr. Wentworth said,
Is the great number of fires accompanied
by loss of life.
Director Porter told of what la being
done by the Department of Public Safety
to protect the lives and property of tho
citizens of Philadelphia. Director Porter
spoke of the many improvements ln traffic
regulations, which, he said, have reduced
the number of street accidents to a large
extent, and to the fact that the theatres
of the city have been compelled to spend
$300,000 ln insuring greater safety. Mr.
Porter, although he gave great praise to
the efficiency of Philadelphia's firelighters
said the equipment of the Fire Depart
ment In this city needed Improvemtnt.
Ho spoke of the defective engines held
ln reserve, of antiquated flro boxes in
many parts of the city and of the de
fective fire hose which firemen are com
pelled to use.
Mrs. Joseph R. Wilson, head of the
committee In charge of the week's pro
gram, made an appeal for greater care
In the prevention of accidents and dis
ease due to carelessness. She said that
while the Government, city State and
national, had lt3 duty to perform ln thlB
regard, It was up to the people to do
their share In exercising greater care
and Judgment In their homes, In their
places of employment and In the street.
