'15 - H . in k i I I!i ,: 1 I H i j! r! ; Hi h the Answers Charge That Heads , , of Departments Keep Money in Idleness by Put ting Blame on the Organi zation. i Mayor Blankenbtirg has answered In ft formal statement the assertions emanit Ing from machine source" that responsi bility for Idleness of approximated $11. COO.Crt) of city funds that -mould be under contract to give irk to the city's un employed restr, with the heads of de partments In the Administration The Mavor declare-) that the bulk nf thU Jnonrv that now lies unexpended In the City Treaury has been rendered virtual ly inaccessible to constructive work at the present time because of the hindrances to lis proper epondlturo enmeshed about It by the Organization Councils Tho desire of Councils to retain absolute control ocer the expenditure of loan moneys has tied up the bulk of the funds to isuch an extent that authorization of Councils Is necessary to almost every outlay, the Mayor shows. That "au thorization" has In most cases been con sistently withhold. The figures purporting to show the re Bponslbilley of the Mayor and his dlrec- tors came originally from the ofllce of the City Controller. They were Included as BUpplementais material In a reply from City Solicitor Hyan to the Mayor when the Mayor requested nn opinion on the feasibility on the early start of construc tion of projects included In the proposed 811,300.000 loan. IDLE MONET IN FOl'Il CLASSES Finally they were used In an oratorical eutburst In Councils by John P. Connelly, organization chairman of the Finance Committee of Councils. Analyzing the specific statements In cluded In the City Solicitor's opinion, 3Iaor Biankenburg shows that tho ldln money In the city treasury falls under one of the four following clashes: Money that has been improvident!)' borrowed under previ-m administrations for specific purposes for which it can Mot at the prtsent time be used, such as $7s.".000 for a library. Money which could not be used until after the execution of agreements Involv ing long negotiations, such as the JlW, COO for the removing of grade crossings In the southern part of th city, and tho ;00.0jO for the opening of streets under the Richmond branch of the rhlladclphla and Reading Railway. An Item cited b the City Solicitor of 8154,033.01 for Improx'ement of the Park way, the Mayor points out, could not be put under contract until the city ncqulred certain properties Those properties havo since been acquired and are being de molished by contractors and the amount of the funds for paving the Included Btreets may not be put under contract at this season of the year. ANALYSIS OF OTHER ITEMS. Other Htaiements of the Mayor contra dicting the assertions of the City Solicitor Included the following items: Instead of 37,0G2.11, available for repairs to streets not occupied by the Transit Company as aserted by tho City Solicitor, the Mayor sa.s that under five different Items onlv $S1.V was available September 3. and from that amount $32,000 was used In September. From 1113 131 23 for country roads and repairing trets. the Mayor contends that $2fl0,r0i) is tied up by Councils pending further legislation, nnd that the remain der is being advertised and will he under contract before the nd of the year. Instead of a balance of KX,000 for im proving country roads, the Mayor asserts that the balance existing at present Is 13730 The remainder has been put under contract. The J2J1.0S6.5S cited as for the improve ment of the West Philadelphia water sup ply, the Mayor declares to be an error. 3Ir says that from ISio.nrfl originally ap propriated a balance of only I27,02.1S re mains not under contract. In conclusion. Mayor Rlankenburg says: "If, as I presume Is the case, tho Con troller simply furnished a copy or tran script from his monthly statement, he is not to blame for the use which has been made of hii material The motives of the Councllmpn who vouched for the state ments Is too well known In the commu nity to require comment. Whether the Cit) Solicitor wrote in Ignoranco of facts which it would f-eem that he must have known, or deliberately chose to Ignore those facts. Is a question to whbti he alone can give the answer " CITT SOLICITOR'S STATEMENT. Discussing the Mayor's statement. City Solicitor Ryan said: "Yes, I will later make a detailed reply to the Ma)or's statement. He requested m to advise htm as to a method devised l) him of accelerating a loan for $11,300, 000 which is yet to be voted upon and Ilia special reason for requiring such ac. tlon by me ws.s. he said, to give work to tho unemployed. Tie also asked If I could not approve of the plan ho outlined, that I would suggest lawful means to ac complish the purpose; nainel), the relief of the unemployed. "Any one with a shade of familiarity with city finances and the negotiation and lisuance of loans must have Known (hat what he proposed to do was entlrel) un lawful, and I so wrote him, and suggested that he make use of the money now in hand, and pointed out quite a number of Items that could be used. My authority fur the figures is the fiscal officer of the city the City Controller and his figures iire correct.

Berry, of this city, has Issued a stirring call for voters of Pennsylvania to elect only those candi dates to tho Legislature who will como out squarely for local option. In the cur rent number of the Methodist Times, Bishop Berry says In part: "I hope the chief issue In the pending elections In the State of Pennsylvania may be kept clearly in view. The thing that should chiefly concern every Christ ian voter Is: 'What kind of n man will represent me In the State Senate and Assembly?' The question of local option and possibly of State-wldo prohibition will be brought forwnrd In the Legislature, and the Importance nf electing reliable tempemnco men to that body must be apparent. "The candidates for Governor on both the Republican and Democratic-Washington ticketH have committed themselves in tho most emphatic terms to advanced temperance legislation, so that which ever Is elected we will have n Governor who has publicly pledged himself to sign any bill which the temperance forces put through. The big task brforo us Is to elect a Legislature which will surely pass the necessary bills." ONE INJURED WHEN AUTO STRIKES TREE Slippery Pavements Cause Skidding. Two Machine Drivers Hurt.

He was unable to prove, however, that his guide, who, he said, had Invited him to Inspect tho Are house, was a city employe. Assistant City Solicitors Breen and Daly developed In the testimony that Burton had strayed from the Inspection party and through his own negligence had met with the accident Judge Henry ordered a non-suit of Burton's suit.

Manufacturers and business men repre senting various Industries heard former Secretary of Slate Philander C. Knorc and Senator Boles Pcnroso deliver addresses at noon today at tho Manu facturers' Club. In the nudlence was a large number of membcra of the Union League. Mr. Knox, In opening his address, said thero wob no tyranny equal to the ty ranny of a minority. Ho regretted that Colonel Roosevelt did not conscrvo his strength for future contests with the common enemy, Mr. Knox then said in part: "History shows nr.J is demonstrating every day that the present political condi tion In this country Is a living demonstra tion of the principle, that no matter how mnny people hold the same political be liefs, they cannot put their beliefs Into practice unless they work together. Co operation, If you will. In cssenco of suc cess, otherwise tho organized minority rules. If, therefore, we who believe In Republican principles In Pennsylvania and we who believe In Republican principles In the nation are to put our principles Into practice wo must form n solid, united party. Our bickerings nro our only weak ness, They are our enemy's atrength and his only strength. "Last May thero wore held in Pennsyl vania pilmary elections at which the voters expressed a party preference as to a candidate for each of the various ofilces which were to be filled by election this fall. To those primaries, wo nil, candidates and supporters, submitted, presumably In good fnlth. Now I taka It that Inasmuch as we, the members of the Republican party, have, through our statements, our actions and the statutes of the State, declared that those who receive u majority of the votes cast at primaries shall be our candidates for the respective odlces, wo are In honor bound to support those -whom the majority de sire, even though they do not represent our personal choice. "I, therefore, cannot state too Btrongly the Importance of tho people of Pennsyl vania and to tho people of the nation of having tho regular lly nominated Repub lican Senatorial candidate teturned from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and a Republican Governor and other State oulcers elected to administer our homo nffnlr3. Tlin "PRESTIGE" OF PENROSE. "May I now speak personally regarding our Republican candidate for election to the Senate? I havo known him intimately fur a great mnny years. He has enjoyed during his term of service In tho Pcnato the confidence and respect of every Re publican President. Each and all have sought his advice and assistance in woik ing out the public measures and policies for which they stood. "He enjoys a position of prestige, honor and Influence In the Senate of the United States which could not be even nppioxl mated by the candidate's who oppose him. The great charge that his enemies hurl against him Is that lie Is a political boss. But what Is a political boss, and when does a political boss become a political leader? "Even Colonel Roosevelt and President Wilson nre not likely to go down in his tory as grent models of political modesty and self-effacement. Of course, they pro fess their grniluatlon to the class of leaders, but it must not be forgotten that both have been the recipients of favors of bosses. It surely cannot be that either tho colonel or tho President is prepared to announce the principle that bo-sing for him Is a virtue and against him a vice, CRITICISES DEMOCRATS. The speaker then criticised steps taken nt Washington by the present Adminis tration and said "our positive action has at times approached dangerously near to open partisanship. At the outbreak of the war we took, as to certatn German wireless stations, an attitude uncalled for under the rules and principle of In ternational law. Wo practically sealed up the German wireless station, and, co Incldentally, the cables connecting Ger many and the United Stntes were clipped. Thus was Germany Isolated, while the Allies had complete and perfect lines of communication between America and Eu rope.
