GUTHRIE LABELS GERARD
TAMMANY HALL "BAGMAN"
Declares Ambassador to Germany Is
Not Fit for Senate.
NEW YORK, Oct. M.-Jnmes W Ger
ard, American Ambassador at Bnrlin, was
the subject of a bitter attack by William
D. Guthrie at a reception to the Ro
publlcan States nominees at the Union
League Club.
Gerard was referred tn bv Guthrie as
a Tammanv "bagman " The speaker as
serted that the envoy's career had shown
him lacking In learning. Impartiality and
dignity of a Judge and at all times sub
servient to Tammnnj Hall. Guthrie is
a celebrated lawyer and achieved much
fame In the Income tax case
T'ip attack created a sensation herause
Gerard was a Justice of the Supreme
Court when he wbh nppolntcd to hlo pres
ent post by President Wilson.
"Mr. Gerard ought not be accepted as
a fit representative of our State In the
United Statea Senate," snld Mr Guthrie.
"Early In his career h Joined Tammany
Hall, and was Its 'bagman' for four
j ears. He was nominated for Justice of
the Supreme Court In 1507, not because
of any real fitness for distinction as a
lawyer, but because of his political ser
vices and contributions to Tammany
Hall."

BRUMBAUGH'S GOOD ROADS
TALK JOLTS THE MACHINE
Followers of Penrose Tremble nt Cer
tainty of Highway Beform.
The emphatic declaration made by Doc
tor Brumbaugh at Martinsburg, that as
Governor ho will clean out the Depart
ment of Highways at Harrisburg. If such
a course Is necessary to give the people
of Pennsylvania honest roads, came to
day as a bombshell to leaders of the
Penrose Organization. This position of
Doctor Brumbaugh, they admit, can mean
but one thing the passing of Edward M.
Blgelow. State Highway Commissioner.
Brumbnuqh declared yesterday that any
man or group of men In Pennsylvania
who stood In the way of having every
dollar of taxes mean 100 cents' worth of
good, honest roads, must go. This dec
laration In political circles, was regarded
as virtually tantamount to a defl of Pen
rose. On the other hand, those In the Re
publican party who are nrrnyed against
Penrose today hailed the declaration of
Doctor Brumbaugh as one of the most
nutable tntements he had made during
his campaign.
Albert K. Turner a member of the Com
mittee cf TO. and a well-known Inde
pendent Republican, said this morning:
"Those who know Doctor Brumbaugh
will not need to have a specific state
ment from him that good roads expen
ditures must be made honestlv. nml thnt
no one will be permitted to stnnd In tho I
way of honest and efllclent administra
tion. Doctor Brumbaugh possesses not
only common honesty, nut he Is Intel- i
lectunlly honest, and a man of his type
noes not nave to tie asked categorically
'Will you be honest about this or that?'
However. It Is fine to see him strike out
or the good roads o.uestlon. It means
so much to nil of us who have felt that
something Is ra'ally wrong in connec
tion with the fate roads system. The
situation is comparable to the stand taken
by Governor Stuart when he was a can
didate. Those who kne whim were thor
oughly convinced that when he said thnt
he would investigate the Capitol frauds,
that the Investigation would go on with
out fear or favor and would go to the
limit. The remit justified this serene
confidence in Governor Stuart. No one
could have gone further than he did.
"I would say precisely the same of
Doctor Brumbaugh In relntion to good
roads. If abuses, exist In connection
with the administration of road building
and repairing, every citizen may rest as
sured that they will he exposed, and that
If deliberate wrongdoing Is detected, it
will meet its just punishment.
COURT HEARS ARGUMENT ON
PROPOSED DIVISION OF WARD
Politicians Thronp Room Hoping: for
Decision on Dispute About the 46th.
.Many interested politicians thronged
the Superior Court today In the hope thnt
the controversy regarding the proposed
division of the )5th Ward would be finally
settled.
The question before the court Is this,
"Has the Quarter Sessions Court a dls
rrtionary power tn ignore the report of
a commission appointed to inquire into the
advisability of dividing the ward and re
fuse to submit the proposition to the
voters? '
The matter eame before the court nn
the appeal of John McCllntock. Thomas
J. Norrls and more than V) voters, upon
whose petition a commission was ap
pointed lafet Jun to leam the desire of
the electors on the subject
Judge Audenrted. who us then pre
siding In Quarter Sessions Court, handed
down a decision disapproving the recom
mendations of the commission and re
fusing the petition for division.
John J McDevltt, Jr. counsel for the
petitioners, argued against the finding of
Judge Auderled He contended that the
court had no right to Ignore the recom
mendations of the commission, and that
It was mandatr.n upon the Judge to ap
prove the report and submit the propo
sition tn the ot of the electors of the
ward
Assistant City Solicitors Dohan and
Iowengrund contended that Judge Auden
ried took tho proper course, apd declared
that a proper construction of the act gov
erning the case in its entirety gave to the
Quarter Sessions Court the very discre
tionary power exercised by Judge Auden
rled in refusing the commission's recom
mendations REGISTRARS RECEIVE PAY

Warrants for the pay of the Registrars

THAT
WEEK
RISE OF INDUSTRY
SHOWN BY FLOATS
IN GREAT PAGEANT
Shining Examples of Wil
mington Industries and His
toric Relics Applauded by
Throngs.
from Our Staff Correspondent.
WILMINGTON, DoI Oct H.-Indians,
cowboys, old-time locomotives and a
primitive Western stage coach, relics of
former days, together with many floats,
the shining examples of Wilmington In
dustries, wero the features of the big in
dustrial and business parade held hero
this afternoon In connection with the Old
Home Week celebration. A vast crowd
viewed tho pageant
Wilmington business men had prided
themselves on their entries, and their
efforts met with entire success. More
than 120 concerns were represented, and
the parade, with more than 250 vehicles
and floats in line, was an impressive
sight.
While the 20th century was represonted
nlth models of modorn factories and
many devices of human skill and Indus
try, several 'floats treating of days gone
by were greeted with mingled reverence
and applause. The crowd wondered at
tho old-time Wells-Fnrgo express coach,
which had seen service on the Western
plains when Indians and "bad" men
were common, and railroads In that sec
lion unknown. Wearing rough and ready
Western clothes, a sombrero and "pack
ing" a. gun, the driver had an escort
of Indians, who "war-whooped" in
realistic fashion.
More than 1200 Pennsylvania Railroad
employes were In line. Wearing dark
clothes, with caps, badges and pennants,
they made an impressive appeurance.
Several floats entered by the railroad
company proved Interesting, The loco
motive "Atlantic," the oldest Amerlcan
bullt engine, was entered by the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad Company.
The "Atlantic" hauled the ilrst train over
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to
Washington In 1S35. James Brady, who
had charge of the locomotive In former
days, returned to his post and was seen
at tho throttle In this afternoon's parade.
He was greeted with great npnlnuso.
Another Interesting float was that benr
Ing a reproduction of the "Lnncastcr,"
the third locomotive built by M. W. Bald
win, of Philadelphia, and which hauled
the first train west of Philadelphia. Other
floats represented watering and coaling
stations and canal boats.
Several floats represented miniature fac
tories. That of the Stieft Tlano Com
pany was moro than 30 feet long. One of
the spectacular features of the parade
was the section devoted to the W. C. T. U.
Their principal float represented a model
home with people seated about the rooms.
The police were assisted In handling tho
crowd by ISO Boy Scouts under tho di
rection of City Clerk C. M. Dillon and
Garrlck 8. Mallery. The scouts will be
on duty each day to give first nld to the
Injured and to direct strangers. They
have been commended by Mayor Howell.
Among the former residents who nr
rlved In time to witness the parade were

Mrs. Richard Gltman, Dr. R. G. Under

CITY WORK FOR UNEMPLOYED
Byan Advises Mayor Not to Seek
Authorlzine- Legislation Now.
City Solicitor Ryan has advised Mayor
Blankcnburg thnt legislation affecting tho
proposed fll,3W,000 loan should not be
passed by Councils until tho measuro
receives the npproval of the voters at
the coming election.
Mayor Blankcnburg, In a desire to pro
vide work In Wator Bureau Improve
ments for unemployed men In Philadel
phia In the coming wlntor, suggested that
Councils pnss the ordinance authorizing
the SO days' advertising of the loan and
also pass tho appropriation ordinances
In anticipation of passage of the loan
at the coming election.
Tho Mayor pointed out thnt such pro
cedure would make possible the be
ginning of actual construction work on
the various loan projects early in De
cember. In his opinion, the City Solicitor ex
presses the belief that the effort to
gain time by legislative action In Coun
cils before tho vote of tho people on
the loan measure Is "morally ascer
tained" would ultimately be expensive
In the matter of time nnd might even
endanger tho validity of tho loan Itself.
Mr. Ryan said ho was In hearty sym
pathy with the Mayor's purpose.
"But should tho loan ordinance be at
tacked In tho courts, ns it might be,"
he said, "there hut too much reason
to think that upon this ground legal
objection to Its alidlty would be found,
and the piocedure would loult In an
Illustration of the maxim that the more

SOCIALIST CHIEFS, ,
PEACE ADVOCATES,
NOW MILITANTS
Failure of Party to Halt
Hostilities in Europe Laid
to Lack of Iron-handed
Leaders.
NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-Thochalrman of
tho English Socialist Party, Mr. Hynd
man, tho peacemaker who agitated c
holly against the South African war, has
fallen In with the herd and Is now with
alt his cloquenco and foroe. urging Italy
"to Join the league against Berlin mill
tarlsm." Most Socialists In Kngland, sayi
the New York Evening Sun. editorially,
probably will fall to see anything incon
gruous In this, and Indeod in Italy Itself
a majority of the same persuasion ars
apparently quits ready to take up arms
on this occasion. In France and-Stigtum
Socialists have even accepted portfolios
In the war Cabinets, and In OormanjKf u
seem to think It contrary to their" floo
trtno to defend tho Ftathexland.
A minority tn nil countries ra, how
ever, surprised and allocked at the, ujtter
failure of the peaceful professions! m
tered with eo much apparent sincerity
before tho trouble began. They took
all these professions seriously nnd be
lieved that their party waa really
party of peace, that war between the
professed comrades and brothers of th
several countries was unthinkable. To
them the action of the European Social
ists eeems Incomprehensible, and one at
least holds them "guilty of a i monstrous
crime."
John R. McMahon, who um this
expression In the current Independent, Is
ono of tho fow who m&kea no attempt
to extenuate what he calls "Socialism's
moral collapse." Socialism for half a
century had opposed war "on the ground
that war Is due to the clash of economic
Interests of the master class and that the
working class has no reason to spill its
blood for the sake of trade and mar
kets." It Is Idle, he maintains, to offer
excuses for the "crime" that Socialism
has committed, for "It has swallowed its
principles, spat upon brotherhood. o.
trayed the class It professes to-represent,
cverlnstlngly disgraced the red banner of
internationalism." Severe as these ac
cusations are, "I know," he says, "that
hundreds of my comrades In this country
are making them In their hearts, though
they may not have yet publicly ex
pressed thorn."
What Is the true explanation of this
profoundly disappointing failure? Ac
cording to Mr. McMahon we must seek
for It In the character of the Socialist
movement Itself. The Socialist move
ment "is a movemont of tho proletariat
nnd partakes of the weakness, lgnor
nnco sentimental enthusiasm and Inef
ficiency of tho proletariat. It especially
attracts cranks, failures and weaklings.
It Is a hospital for cripples and a haven
for the feebly discontented and the vis
ionary It Is Inflated nnd tainted with
numbers of the petty bourgeoisie," etc.
The leaders are mere talkers, "eloquent
incompetents," not men of action, and
they "have proved worse than worthless
In n great crisis."
Mr. McMahon, in short, has made the
Important discovery that the rank and
fllo of his party, like the rank and file
of other parties, ore mere members of
the human race with the same fallings
and weaknesses. His conclusion Is, not
that Socialism Is a failure, but that It
stands In need of radical readjustment.
The mistake Socialists have made Is In
putting their trust In democracy. Great
captains nnd commanders are what So
cialism needs:
Imperial Germany has great leaders;
so with the other nations. If Socialism
Is markedly Inferior in leadership it Is
partly due to a fetish worship of democ
racy, again Inherent In the movement
. , . A new kind of Socialist leader
ship will be Inevitable in the near future,
a leadership less democratic and eloquent,
but more practical and effective.
It Is to be gathered, In a word, that
Socialism. If It Is to succeed, must be
conducted by strong-armed bosses, and
ns to democracy and equality and fra
ternity, why they are to b rejected as
ancient superstitions of an unenlight
ened age.
