UYNAM1TK NOT NEEDKD
In the group of workmen detailed In
the park this morning was a veteran
building wrecker and all-around laborer
This man, who has worked on manv
municipal construction jobs, frankly de
clared that. owing to the poor gravel
used, It was a sure bet that dynamite
v.ottldn't be needed
"The fellow who had tn contract for
rutting these things up I mean those
walls certainly must have seen his blun
der by this time. Any man who has
ves and knows a thing or two about
concrete will say that there Is some
thing wrong with this Job Only a blind
man couldn't tell the difference."
Senator Vare has the contract for pro
ceeding with the work in the park. H
was given the contract last Jun be
cause his bid of J5W.W0 was the lowest.
It vas learned toadv that one of the
first discoveries bj laborers and others
detailed to tear down th walls was that
the structure around the lagoons was
defective. This fact was also pointed out
by the experts in their revelation!
The three Investigators, who condemned
the structure as a piece of patchwork,
also brought forth proof to show that for
concrete the contractor used an unwashed
gravel, fairlv well graded but full of Im
purities, which tended to Impair the qual
ity of the concrete made from it. Another
Interesting feature of the Investigators'
disclosures was that the gravel contained
wood, lumps of clay, piece., of coal and
ome verv fine material, part of which
as organic matter.
The walks also show signs of poor
workmanship. Many of them as con
structed, by the Senator will have to fee
rebuilt because they are defective.

of the valleys
The bloodhounds were brought to too
scene early tills morning and slven the
scent from a piece of the clothing left
behind by t'opo when he plunged Into
the wood, hatless, coatlcss and without
shoos. The beasts, tugging at their
leashes, led the detectives to the hen
house, whore ''op hid until opportunity
presented to continue hU flight, from
there the animals led the pursuers Into
the heavil wooded eectton Into which
Cope dls&fpeared
The onlv new clue obtained so far to
day is proUded b a farm hand on the
place adjoining the Clinton Cope farm.
This man said he saw John Cope the
morning after the tragedy walking to

George Wharton Pepper Thinks Atro
cities Bound to Occur In Strife.
George Wharton Pepper, prominent
nnu.coldpi.in livman, nn authorlt) on
church law and an attorney, expressed
th opinion today that atrocities in war
fare wero things to be expected. Mr.
Pepper has followed the present war In
Europe with a great deal of Interest and
has consldeied the numerous tales and
report of the alleged atrocities perpe
trated. In speaking of these alleged out
rages, he said:
"Atrocities are considered bv many as
unnecessary Incident of wai In my
estimation the commission of frightful
atrocities Is inevitable whenever mosses
of men are for the time being turned Into
tigers by the war spirit No better de
scriptlon of war than Sherman's has been
given War i hell, and whenever h 11 is
turned loose there will always be found
plenty of devils to tend the fires. We

Orphan, Seeking Adventure,
Very Hungry, Slept Under
Stars Little Pal Yet
Missing.
Torlorn and shivering, liungiy and tltcd,
a little bo who ran away from Gliard
College on Monday to heek adventure "was
found early today huddled In the shadow
of the doorstep at 23th street and Mont
gomery avenue. Policeman Humphieys,
who saw the child, wrapped his coat
about him and took the boy to the 2ith
and Oxford streets station.
There tho little runaway said he was
John Hand and admitted with a touch
of pride the weight of 11 years resting
on his shoulders Ho had scaled the
wall surrounding the college grounds with
Francis Crost, 13 years old, another In
mate of the Institution, and the two
determltud to see "life." The other lad
Is now being sought by the police. Hand
said he left his companion aBlecp In
a vacant lot near the place he had been
found.
The two bojs had 40 cents between them
when they climbed over the wall. One
fourth of this was spent before they
wero out of the college grounds a half
hour, when a lurid motion picture ad
vertisement which told of herolo deeds on
Western plains attracted the young ad
venturers Realizing that 30 cents would not keep
them In food very long, they satisfied
their future cravings for excitement by
merely looking at bill boards Instead of
going in the "movies." At night they
slept In vacant lots.
When their small capital dwindled to
the point where strictest economy was
necessai), the children dropped pennies
In slot machines and munched peanuU
thus obtained Appuiently they did not
realize the seriousness of their plight
for when Policeman Humphrejs put
young Hand on the Sergeant s desk at
the Miction tioiiie the lad s enthusiasm for
more adventure was not diminished Hn
was anxious that his comrade should be
found so the two might continue their
wanderings
Uist night. Hand tald. he and frost
decided to sleep in u vacant lot near 23th
street and Montgomery avenue Thei had
walked miles during the daj, he t,ald and
were t'red Accordingly, with coats p'ullrd
over their shoulders, the two slept beneath

2 A. M. Recltnl Brings the Police and
Pence Follows Discord.
Discoid has given way to harmony In
the Kenney family.
Although there will be no more early
morning concerts at the Kenney home,
523 Rockland street, Germantown, the
neighbois aro happy. The discord was
due to the musical ambitions of Walter
Kenney. Other members of his family did
not agiee with AVnlter regaullng his
musical capacities. They contended that
he struck what musicians call "blue"
notes Tho neighbors ngreed with them
and the whole legion seemed to foci the
same color.
Difference of opinion between Walter
Kenney, his relatives and the neighbors
was responsible for sending him to the
House of Correction.
Kcnney'H musical Inspirations become
especially emphatic about 3 o'clock In
the morning, for that's when he plavs
longest and loudest. He attributes this
to the eccentricities of genius. Kenney
nttempted everj thing from ragtime to
Chopin's Funeral March this morning,
but when this latter selection filled the
air the musician's father and brother
tried to drag the performer from the
parlor organ. Kenney struck a few
notes and then a few- relatives.
Two policemen took Kenney to the
Germantown police station, and when
Magistrate Pennock heard of Kcnncy's
habits there was much avmputhy in his
gaze us he looked at the other battered
members of the Kenney family. But
there was no svmpathv for Kenney, the
prisoner. "I'll give vou live davs In the
House of Correction," he said.

$100 a Week Being Fur
nished Free by Candidate.
Senator Penrose is entertaining tho
"movie funs" of Pennsylvania. He Is
paying tho cost of keeping on the screens
of motion picture houses In all paitB of
the State SO prints of a 700-foot film,
which nre now In their second wcik of
showing tho senior Senator In vnilous
activities.
The films show him actually In Wash
ington, seated at Ills desk in His olllce
there, riding to the Capitol In a carriage,
and entering the Senate wing of the
Capitol, and they show him campaigning
at the National Gunid encampment at
Mt. Gretna, and on the stump In the
western part of tho State.
The "Piosperlty Film Exchange," which
Is really onl Martin flauber, tin employe
of the Mutual Film Corporation, of 90'
Filbert street, has charge of the dis
tribution. Invitations tn avail themselves of the
Penroso frce-illm service have been sent
to all motion plctuie liuuse managers
who favor Pentoses cnndldacj, said
Gauber today.
They have passed their Oth perform
ance, he said, and have been shown nil
the way from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh
before audiences aggregating nearly
1.000,000 portons. They are on the pro
grams of tvvo or three theatres In li,ii.
delphla and us many in Pittsburgh every
day, Gauber said.
"What does It cost the managers to
show this film?" Gauber was asked
"Nothing," he ni'jwered "Senator
Penrose pns all of the cost. When w.
send them upstate, though, the man
agers have to pay expiesj charges for
one way "
It Ib costing Senator Penrose more than
JIOO a week for distribution, he said The
films cost about 10 cents a foot tn mm,,. 1
facture. Penrose paid this bill, s,,l
Gauber, nnd aUo paid the expenses of
the camera man, who spent live days
with him In the western pirt of Penn
sylvania, and whom he took to Wash
liigtnn with him In his automobile
Guubcr was asked. "Is that all It 8
costing Penrose?"
Tour men wanted $10 apiece In order
to get nimi for a show- to support the
Penrose film," answered Gauber, "but
they finally took the Penrose film free."

GRAB INCLUDES
PLAN TO SEIZE '
CITYHALLSUITE
Rooms Occupied by Police
Coveted by Municipal
Court Pending $2,000,000
Land Purchase.
Project Germinated Last April
When Ouster of State Fend
bles From Armory Appeared
Imminent.
Not content with their land-grabblnr
Plans lor $2,000 0W court buildings nt
21st nnd Ilnco streets, officials of the
JIunlclp.il Court, through tho Penrose-.McNIchol-controIled
Councils, will at
tempt the seizure of the east corridor
on the sixth floor of City Hall to ac
commodate them while the grabbing
plans nio being Jammed through.
If tho State Fenclbles nre ousted from
their armory on Broad street below IUca
and the Central police stntlon takes that
plncc, the Municipal Court will get th
east corridor, nccoullng to those with
their eyes on tho court's pinna.
President Judge Charles I,. Brown ad
mitted tho truth of this to Kmanuel
Furth, attorney for the Fenclbles, when
Furth, who had heard the rumor, taxed
him with It two weeks ngo Tho?e
familiar with tho situation say Cite.
Hall's east corridor Is coveted "by fv'
Municipal Cojrt ns a shelter until ths;
fate of tho land grab is decided.
PI..AN AND ITS ORIGIN
The court's plnns to seize the sixth
floor corridor have a double significance
however. It developed today that the
Municipal Coutt nnd the Pcnrose-Mc-Nlchol
Cotincllmnnlc lenders had their
eyes on a site for the Municipal Court
as long ago n-i lnt April, moie than
n month befoie Mis. Illchnrdson and
Mtp. Jurist thought of the Magdalen
Home property and passed on tho Idea
to Judge Brown.
That the bacilli of a plan the size of
the land scheme appeared first In the
minds of Mis. Illchardson and Mrs.
Jurist hns surprised those who know
the long-headed politician and his habit
of searching the horizon for the main
chance. Mrs. Hlchardson and Mis. Jurist
resent an.v suggestion that the thought
of tho land scheme was not original with
them.
But there was n plan to care for the
Municipal Court before Mis. Jurist and
Mrs. Hlchardson set It In motion. Cnun
cllmcn told nmnnuel Furth last April
that he would do well not to press his
light against dislodging the Fenclbles.
They said he ought to wait until the
fall.
Only last Saturday, when he read that
the Municipal Court planned a grab at
21st nnd Ilnco streets, did he see why
ho was advised to wait until fall. Even
now. he believes, the Municipal Court
may want the sixth floor corridor at
City Hall until there Is a better out
look for tho land-grabbing scheme.
FHNCIBLKS' PLHA IGNOBED.
The State Fenclbles' lease on the
nrmory expired March 1. Furth ap
pealed to the Joint Councllmnnlc Com
mittee on City Property at a meetlny
April 2 nnd secured a recommendation
for a renewal" of the lease for two yer.
Then he looked to Councils to( act upon
tho recommendation. Hut the recom
mendation remained buried In commit
tee. Through April Furth went about ask
ing Councllinen to bring the renewal
matter Into the meeting.
He wns told that It would bo better
to let the business lie quietly until fall.
"You'll do hotter then." they told him.
But meanwhile the City Solicitor had
begun an amicable ejectment action and
the Fenclbles' tenure In their armory was
growing more nnd moro shnk
Then Councils ndjoutned without act
ing on the leaso for the Fenclbles If
tho City Solicitor's action wos effective
the Fenclbles could ho saved from eject
ment onlv by the action of Councils re
newing the lease.
Last Thursday Furth met John P Con
nelly, chairman of the Councils' Finance
Committee. Ho asked when Councils
would do something about renewing the
lease
"We don't want your old armor, "
Connolly.
"But the City Solicitor's action is
going to have us out If you don't do
something." Futth protested On tM
following Monday Judgo V. Ame
Bregy was to linvo heard a second ap

"Well." Connelly told him, "you V

Solicitor in chargo of tho ejectment pro
ceedlngH, "If I tell him that he'll think I'm rep
resenting myself," Furth objected
"Well. then, send him to me nnd IU

Hi court on .Monday lie learned mac

"We don't want to be mixed up In that

It was two weeks ago that Furth went
to Judge Brown and learned from his
that tho Municipal Court had been plan
