Accused of breaking n woman's heart
Hint a job might he made for a man,
Jtrs Jessie V. Pickering, of 235 South
23d street, la seriously HI. Behind that
iiims lies a tale of sordid politics, Mrs.
1'lokering whs ousted from the position
of chief probation officer of the Juvenile
Court to make a place for a voter after
the Juvenile Court came Into control of
tlio Municipal Court, and the power of

President Judgo Charles t,. Brown, of
the loth Ward, ex-ward worker and leader
nnd personal friend of State Senator
James 1 MoNlchoI and one of that typo
of men advocating the ic-electlon of Sen
ator Penrose.
Transferred from her office following
n measure passed by Organization leg
islators and demoted to a lower position,
It became known today that Mrs. Pick
ering for months has been suffering from
lienous prostration. The attack came
as a result of constant Woriy.
Mrs. Pickering Is now at the home ot
her son, who resides In Narberth. Until
r short while ago she was In bed. Slit
is now able to walk about the house
although her condition, according to her
physicians, Is still berious. Mrs. Pick

1509 Arch street.
The duties of chief pronation officer.
which Mrs. Picketing performed for n
number of years, are now being dis
charged by Thomas (!. P.irrls. His sal
ary Is $3000 a yeni, or $00 maro than
Mrs Pickering received, I'arrls was ap
pointed as chief probation officer by
Judge Brown.
Friends ot Mrs. Pickering, who Is a
brilliant woman and who for ears has
been actively engaged In Juvenile work
unions foroigneis In South Philadelphia,
and who eara ago was one of the prime
movers for staiting a Juvenile Court,
HtateJ today that she became a changed
vuninn boon after being demoted.
CONCERNED FOK CHILDREN.
Mrs. Pickering's greatest concern
neeincd to be over the many little girls
and boy whom she met dally or weekly
when she was seated behind her desk In
Hoom 705 in the City Hall.
"J have no fault to find, but I will surely
y miss -me of the children," Mrs. Picker
ing Is quoted as siylng, when she packed
tip hei things prior to her departure to
lier nw olTice.
taking up the duties of a regular
, prob tlon officer. Mrs. Pickering often
-u'i i time, it Is said, to walk over to
ihe i ty Hall and s,can the faces of some
of r -lilldren for whom she had obtained
posit .ns.
In the latter part of last April Mrs.
rtr-kirlng failed to appear In her Arch
direct olllce. This vas after she had
come to wotk dally feeling 111. Later her
condition became serious and nervous
prostration set in.
Although Mrs. Pickering has beer
practically confined In bed since last '
vpril very few persons In this city knew
of hi-r Illness outside of her relatives,
few f-lends and some of hor "kiddles,"

D-iite the fact that Mrs. Pickering
lias Improved somewhat, it was learned
from a relntlve that It will bo many

her I'ifici.
ORGANIZATION MAN HAS PLACE
The appointment of Parris was made
last Januarj. Parris Is known as a Re
publican Organization man. Before his
aupolntnient to Mrs. Pickering's position

When Parris was appointed In Mrs.
Pickering's place the excuse was given
hat the position had to be filled by a
man because It was so stipulated In the

IMMIGRATION FALLS
FAR BELOW USUAL
RECORD IN THIS CITY
Only
39,988 Aliens Have
Landed Since January 1.
Steamship War and Strug
gle in Europe Responsible.
Wnr of two kinds, n commercial wai
nnd the bloody struggle now Involvlne
the st cat powcia of Euiope, is respon
slblo for the decline In Immigration m
this port, from Jiitiunry 1 until todn
3J.0J8 nllins landed at the various steam
ship docks In this city. Ill the samp pc
ilod Inst year, the number was GS.OS',
and the total for the whole yenr, 5,0U0,
was tho banner record for the port. The
current year promises to be the worst In
the port's history.
Only liwO aliens were brought here the
past menth. This Is tho smallest number
In years to arrive In this length ot time.
The best month of the present year was
April, when the arrivals munbcicd 5015.
Immigration through this port was cut
early In tho year by a steamship wnr
between tho North German Lloyd Steam
ship Company and the Hamburg-American
Steamship Company, which diverted
thousands of aliens to Cnnnda. These
two lines bring more than two-thirds of
tho Immigrants to this port. The out
break ot the war In Ausust tended to
add further to the decline. The two lines
In question, together with the Red Star
Lino, were compelled to cancel sailings
to nnd from this port, nnd the call to
the colors lessened the number If Im
migrants usually brought In on vessels
of other lines.
Commissioner of Immigration Greenn
walt admitted yesterday that tho num
ber of arrivals was decreasing, but he
declared his force was kept busy attend
ing to other routine affairs nnd the In
vestigation of special cases that had been
sandwiched between Incoming steamships
in tho past.
"Do j ou believe. Commissioner, that
tho end of the present struggle In Eu
rope means a tremendous Influx ot Im
migrants," he was asked,
"I am not in a position to answer that
question," Commissioner Grecnwalt re
plied. "This is the gicatest war history
lias ever known, and who can foretell Its
aftermath? From logical conclusions, I
would deduct that tt will mean a rush of
men, women and chlldien to our friendly
shoies. The devastation wrought by war
will mean that many will be homeless and
penniless. The countries will bo heavily
taxed, and these people, already over
burdened, will no dbubt look about for
n refuge to begin life anew. Tly: fact
that many will be poverty stricken will
bo u barrier to them coming here, as
thoubands who may desire to come to
the United States will be unable to pay
their passage. However, I believe that
I can safely predict a gain In Immigration
hero at the close of hostilities, but Just
how heavy that gain will be remains to
bo seen."
GLOUCESTER STATION DESERTED.
The Detention House, at the Gloucester
Immlgintlon Station, admittedly the best
of Its, kind In the country, has the ap
pearance of a deserted house. The com
fortablo rooms, beds and lounging chairs,
which have held representatives of nearly
every nation under the sun, ure now idle.
A sl'ence pervades where once there echo
ed the sounds of polyglot tongues.
One person to whom the war Is ns pop
ular as a safety razor salesman to a
barber, is Mrs. Anna L. Palmer, who has
given thousands of aliens their first tusto
of ham and cabbage. She hha a contract
with the United States Government to
supply detained immigrants with meals.
When there are none to feed, she makes
no money. The more immigrants detain
ed, the more money she makes. The con
tiftct calls for three meals to each alien,
for which she receives 47 cents. It has
been one of the wonders of the Immi
grant station how Mrs. Palmer could sup
ply buch wholesome and delicious meals
for such a small sum. She declares she
can do so and make it living. Mrs.
Palmer has been the supervisor of the
immigrants' meals for 15 yearn.

FINDING NEW COMET
fc IS NOT UNUSUAL NOW
Local Astronomers See Little in New
Mexico Discovery.
Philadelphia astronomers are Inclined to
attach little Impoitance to tho new comet
said to have been discovered by Professor
Clareiict- T. Haggcrty. of the New Mex
ico College of Agriculture and Mechan
ical Art. They say there Is nothing un
usual In a comet being seen at this or
nnv other time of tho year, aa three or
four of them are always seen annually.
Prjfessor llaggerty, nccoiding to a dis
patch from Cambridge, Mass., telegraphed
to tho Harvard College Observatory hla
discovery of the new body, which, he
said, was visible to the nnked eye. Ho
gae Its position ns right ascension, noth
ing hours, 5 minutes, declination minus
45 degrees at 11:30 p. m.. September 23.
Dr. Charles Leander Doolittle, Flower
umoiltus professor ot astronomy at the
University of Pennsylvania, said today
there was apparently nothing unusual In
Doctor Haggerty'a comet. He had not
observed It. he said, and had not been
on the lookout for any unusual astro
nomic spectacle. It was Interesting to
note, he stated, that the comet was dis
cernible to the naked eye, nnd the new
discovery might possibly turn out to be
quite an Interesting phenomenon, but at
the karoo time comets such as described
weie not utter strangers In the heavens
at this tlmo of year. Doctor Doolittle
Intimated ho might take observations of
the llaggerty comet.
Professor N. R. Snyder, teacher of as
tronomy at tho Central High School said
he attached little Importance to the Hag
gerty discovery. "New comets are found
each year," he said, "and unless there
is nomethlng unusual about this partic
ular stranger It Is not at all remarkable."
"It is Interesting," he continued, "to
hear that the comet Is visible to tho
naked eye, but oven this Is not unusual."
Doctor Snvder eold he had not been on
tho lookout for comets recently, hut
would probably watch for tho new dis
covery tonight
He further stated the llaggerty comet
might be seen with the naked eye In this
section of the country, even though It
was first seen from New Mexico. "Be
cause the comet was discovered there,"
he stated, "Is no reason why it could
not be seen In Philadelphia, although Its
observation here -was by no means cer
tain," L, PICKERING
POOF!
U. S. WILL HAVE BIGGEST GUN
Enormous "Weapon Will Guard Pa
cific Entrance to Panama Canal,
Thero can be little consolation for the
thousands of volunteer peace makers In
this country who are trying to settle the
war In Europe In the announcement that
the biggest gun In the woild Is being
built In the United States arsenal In
Watervllet, N. Y and Is tu bo placed at
the Pacific end of the Panama canal.
Tho gun Is a 16-inch weapon, 49 feet 3
inches In length, and weighs about 1-0
tons. It has a range of from 16 to 21
miles, varying with different elevations,
and It will hurl a projectllo of 2300 pounds.
Each discharge will cost tho Government
$600.
The enormous weapon will lie In am
bush at the canal, being lifted to position
by a big running carriage which will bo
dropped from view Immediately tho
weapon has been discharged.
Military experts of all countries have
followed the gun's construction, to such
extent as this Government would permit,
with the keenest interest. The gun's in
stallation will be an event In the history
of defensive measures. But let us hopo
there Is only a remote likelihood It ever
will be used other than as a threat
against peace disturbers. On tho conti
nent all is war. every gun belches forth
death. Here all Is peace and our biggest
gun, the largest in the world, la being
fashioned for the preservation of peace,
but If It Is needed for another purpose
It will be mighty effective.
PENROSE HITS ADMINISTRATION
Says It Has Replaced TJnion Vet
erans With Confederates.
In making an attack on the Wilson
Administration, Senator Penrose yester
day declared that there had been a
great deal of discrimination against vet
erans of the Union Army, not only in
Pennsylvania, but throughout the coun
try. Senator Penrose made his charges eoon
after his return from the western sec
tion of the State, where he held several
Important conferences with Organization
leaders. Senator Penrose declared that
Confederate veterans had obtained All
the important positions, especially In
the District of Columbia.
Discussing his charges concerning the
Blue and the Gray, Senator Penrose said'
"For instance. In my recent trip
through Western Pennsylvania I -was re
peatedly reminded that not a single
Union veteran had been appointed to a
Federal office In this State under the
Wilson Administration. On the other
hand, scores of Union soldiers have been
discharged."
"SAFEST CITY IN THE WORLD"
Future Predicted for Philadelphia by
Commissioner of Labor.
After making a study of municipal con
ditions In large cities In Europe, from
whence he returned last Tuesday, Dr.
John Price Jackson Stats Commissioner
of Labor, made a prediction today that
a quarter of a century hence Philadel
phia -would be the handsomest and eafest
city In the world.
Doctor Jackson, discussing hla visit to
Berlin, said: ''There are many persons
who call Philadelphia slow. From what
I saw In Berlin, which Is one of the most
progressive cities of Europe, Philadelphia
Is going ahead with the speed of an ex
presn train."

GIRL FALLS TWO STORIES,

Nine-Year-Old Margaret Dlamoana
Plunges Erom Window.
A fall of two stories to the sidewalk to
day occabloncd nothing more than a
smllo from 0-year-old Margaret Dla
moana, 1317 McCullen street, who plunged
head first from an upper window of hor
home while playing hide-and-seek with a
brother.
Persons on tho street covered their eyes
when thoy saw the little girl dlvo from
tho open window nnd Innd on her head.
She Immediately sat up, looked about and
grlnntd. Then she rose to her feet as
though nothing had happened, and ran
Into the house.
Neighbors who witnessed tho fall fol
lowed her and spoke to the girl's mother.
Terrified, Mrs. Dlamoana Immediately
took her daughter to the Methodist Hos
pital. Physicians, after an hour's examina
tion, could find no Injuries. The girl did
not appear even to be shocked. Her only
desire was to get back to her play.
A. E. TURNER FOR BRUMBAUGH

MAN WATCHING FIGHT
DROPS DEAD ON DOORSTEP
Dealer Sees Quarrel Between Employe
and Negro, Then Dies.
Excitement engendered by watching a
fight between two men in front of his
produce store, at 1702 Wharton street,
proved fatal this morning to Stephen
Moore, nnd he fell dead on his doorstep.
The quarrel was between Richard
Henry, 1703 Wharton street, who was
employed by Moore, and an unidentified
Negro. The latter tried to grab soma
fruit from tho stand In front of the
store and Henry grappled with him.
Moore had been In the back of the
store. ThA shout of spectators brought
him to the street. Ho stood In tho ring
about the two fighting men for a few
minutes, encouraging his employe, and
then suddenly placed his hand to his
heart nnd fell. A. physician pronoutfeed
him dead.
LET WATER IN, KEEP FOE OUT,
SUM OF DUTCH WAR TACTICS
Sluices More Formidable Defense
Than Entrenchments.
The problems of military strategy In
Holland are different from thoso of any
other country In the world. The great
est security of Holland lies In Its great
est menace tho water, 1
Riding along through tho country In a
rnllway train, says II. W. Suydam, tho
Brooklyn Eagle's war correspondent, ono
sees Holland as a flat green surface with
gastronomlcal decorations of beef, lamb
and pork, all allvo nnd chewing. It Is
tho most pencofully Innocuous landscapo
on earth. Look nt the same thing on an
army map, If you can get hold of one,
und the whole southwestern part of Hol
land becomes a checkerboard of snares
und pitfalls."
"Open the sluices, . Let the water In
and keop the enemy out."
That Is tho long and short of Dutch
army tactics. So that when you read
that tho Dutch havo flooded their fron
tier, which thoy havo done to a small
extent In the north, you may know that
they ore using ono enemy to foil an
other, fighting fire with fire, or rather
In this case, fighting fire with water,
which Is the usual and proper method,
even in smaller cases.
Beginning at Wlllemstad, the cntlro
countryside Is divided by great green
dikes into squares and rhombuses and
other indcscrlbablo geometrical figures.
Theso divisions are so far apart nnd
embrace such great distances, and are
so Inconspicuous that without a map
they are not discernible at all. But
they are there all tho time, and between
them aro arena of lowland which may
bo pastures one day and immense ponds
the next.
The water In the canals which travcrso
the country Is kept very high In these
days of stress and storm. All that Is
necessary to cut off a section of country
Is to open a sluice. The water pours In,
and tho Inhabitants, who have been
warned beforehand If there Is time, fleo
to another section. Due to tho elaborate
system of Intersecting dikes, it is pos
sible to flood just that section which lies
in tlio path of tho enemy's advnnce. And
the enemy, coming up. Is confronted by
a great sheet of water as far as tho
eye can reach. It has a minimum depth
of about 20 Inches and a maximum depth
of many feet. This leaves only tho nar
row dikes to traverse and these, of
course, aro heavily guarded by the
Dutch, who can sweep them clear with
blg-callbred guns. To transport an army,
with all Its heavy equipment, across
that surface of water, raked by heavy
Dutch fire. Is a problem that many com
mnndera would not care to face.
These spaces of land Intervening be
tween the cross-country dikes aro called
"polders." The name cannot be trans
lated. It means just what I havo tried
to explain.
Thero you have the chief strength of
tho Dutch defense. It Is very simple and
very effective, and very cheap. And
backed up by that waiting army of
250,000. It ought to make those who re
gard the Dutch position as insignificant,
think twlco before chattering nonsense.
TO WASH LEATHEB (JIOVES
Use warm lain water and yellow soap.
Wash the gloves on your hand and soap
very well; rinse in clean rain water and
Boap again very freely and squeeze out
the water. Lay the gloves on a clean
cloth, not near the flro or In the air. Rub
them frequently; they will take two or
three days to dry, but the gloves will be
as good as new.
Delay means

"Acid-Mouth"
Every time you put off

You may forget, put off ; but
