DR. M. G. BRUMBAUGH
AIDED VITAL SCHOOL
CODE'S ENACTMENT
Worked for Act Which
Revolutionized Govern
ment of Philadelphia
Schools.
Ei.AOlment of the present school code,
tnihr which the Board of Education of
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh levy their
cwn taxes, was accomplished through the
efforts of a commission of lawyers nnd
educators, of which Dr. Martin d. Brum
aurh was one of the foremost workers,
jtow this revolutionary piece of legisla
tion was made a reality was described
today by William II. Shoemaker, who
was a member of the local school board
: wnen Superintendent Brumbaugh made
his memorable fight for the emancipa
tion of tho public school system from
the grip of politics.
Mr Shoemaker recounted the history
of tho struggle In replying1 to the con
tentions of Vnnco C. McCormlck that
tioclor Urumbaugh had never been a
port of any movement In Pennsylvania
for important civic Improvements. Mr.
Ehoemakor explained thnt ho had no dc
rlro to Indulge In a polltlcnt controversy,
but was anxious thnt Doctor Brumbaugh
receive fair play. No described Doctor
Hrumtmugira nctlvltles as ho witnessed
them while a member of the Board of
a Education.
"Tho net of Assembly approved April
It. 19j3. was the result of the work of n
commission composed of Henry It. Kd
tnundi, Dr. Edward Brooks, W. V. .Jus
tice, Martin G. Brumbaugh nnd other
educators," said Mr Shoemaker.
HECBIVED NO COMPENSATION.
"The members of this commission re
ceive 1 no compensation for their work,"
continued Mr. Shoemaker, "and wero se
e;toel because of their wldo knowledge
an.l experience In successful educational
and other public work.
"The act revolutionized the system of
government of the public schools of Phila
delphia, and since the time of Its going
Into effect, on January 1, 1308, the sys
tem has advanced, nnd there Is no one
in this city who would be so unrea
sonable ns to assert that the old system
was not vastly Improved by tho new act.
The school code of 1911 has since super
ceded the act of 1905, nnd Jn the fram
ing of this act Doctor Brumbaugh was
an active member of the commission, and
his experience gnlnrd under the act of
1W5 greatly nlded tho commlslson In
framing the code which comprehends the
echool system of the entire State.
"When Doctor Brumbaugh was ap
pointed to aid In drafting the act of
1903 he was professor of pedagogy In
the University of Ponnslvnnla, had been
Commissioner of Education to Porto Itlco
and had large experience in Louisiana
and In the schools of this State. He was
therefore suggested for a nlaco In the
Acommlsslon by Dr. Edwnrd Brookes, tho
.then Superintendent of Public Schools of
Ihls county nnd a former principal of
lio Stats Normal School. Politics had
no place In the naming of Doctor Brum
baugh. It was as an educator nnd or
Eanlzer that he was selected by the rep
resentatives of the best educational cir
cles of this Commonwealth.
DOCTOrt BRUMBAUGH NEEDED.
"Now, if it Is recalled what tho school
jstem was In Philadelphia it will bo
readily jcen why men of Doctor Brum
baugh's character were sought for to
au In passing an act to remedy the evils.
Among the gieatest of these was the
Influence of politicians In the selection
of teachers of elementary schools, the
election of school sites and the control
it apiirupuauons ror school purposes.
"The Iiouid of Education was composed
of one representative from each ward of
the cltv. and as theie were some 40 odd
waids In the city, It was a largo body.
"Twelve school directors were elected
by the people of each ward to compose
a sectional school board. This board
elected all the teachers to the elemen
tary schools In tho ward or section, the
Board of Education having no voice In
the selection of any teachers save those
In the high schools about live schools
all told.
SCHOOL SITUATION NOTORIOUS.
"The manner in which tenchers of ele
mentary schools were selected was no
torious, and reached its climax when
eihool dliectors In a ward were Indicted
and convicted for taking money to vote
for a candidate.
"Councils made such appropriations to
the Board of Education as they deemed
tit.
"Doctor Brumbaugh was prominent In
the commlslon which drafted the net of
ljfti. This act cut this system up by tho
roots, in providing that nil elementarv
teachers should be annotated bv the
Board of Education from an eligible list
upon which only qualified candidate
could be placed, and the selection should
be confined tn th ihr hichaat ,
list. """ " "
"It was made the duty of Councils to
appropriate a Bum equal to at least five
llilla of the assessed vrIii nf real .
tate. and the Board of Education was
J' control of the money freed from
the Councils.
DOCTOR BRUMBAUGH'B SERVICE.
"U Is scarcely conceivable that any
ene could render a public service more
beneficial to the people than these men
aid, and Doctor Brumbaugh was its
moving spirit.
"Mr Mccormick's idens of public
ervice may not recognUe as worthy the
efforts of a man to keep out of politic
those things affecting the public to which
Politics are a menace.
"Doctor Brumbaugh was a leader In
taking the public schools of Philadelphia
eut of politics, and as Governor of Penn
sylvania he will take some other depart
ments out of the politics which Mr. Mc
cormick, it seems, would keep or place
jnem in, under, however, a different party
leadership."

FLOWER, swindler;
TELLS OF 11 YEARS OF
DODGING PURSUERS
'I'm Going to Die Soon, Be
fore They Can Succeed
in Convicting Me," He
Says, in Tombs.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2C Ills appearance
belying his statement that he liaB only n
very few months to live, Dr. Rlchnrd C.
Flower, .former promoter of fraudulent
mining schemes, who was arrested In
Toronto Inst week after he had eluded
the police of this city formore than 11
years, and was brought back here to face
trial, sat on his cot In the Tombs prison
yesterday afternoon nnd told the story of
his adventures.
"I nm going to die very soon," ho be
gnn In a feeble voice. "These detectives,
no doubt, nro patting themselves on tho
back and thinking they have done some
thing very clever to get the old man.
But what have they got7 Before they
can succeed In convicting me I will bo
dead. '
"If I hnd wanted I could liavo got
away from them ngnln, I could have
refused to como without extradition
pnpets and Insisted upon ball, and all
that sort of thing; but I knew I was
going to pass out nnd I wanted to bo
near home. You will ndmlt that I know
how to get away when I want to, but
this time I did not want to. I nm done.
I have played tho gamo through, and
thcro Is no chnnce for me to get nway
from my next bondsman, death.
'For over ten years I have been n fugi
tive from Justice, being hounded from
place to plnco. Of coitrso I always got
away, but the strain of tho constant pur
suit was there nil the time. I learned In
tho beginning that the host way to get
away from tho police was to let them do
tho wandering, while I Just kept stilt. So
while the detectives were searching
through faraway places I was right here
In Now York, a llttlo disguised, but not
renlly trying to evade them.
"I have sat In the foyern of large
hotels here nnd rend of my being arrested
In other cities nnd henrd people talking
about me. Yet no one thought to nottco
me.
"Those detectives ought not to feel un
kindly toward me. I gave them many
a good trip and lots of good oxpenso
money. I was ntver more thnn 1000 miles
from this city nt any time. My first trip
from New York was to Paterson, N. J.
From there I trnvoledi-to Philadelphia.
You can see how terribly far that was.
"When things got hot In Philadelphia
I beat It to Pittsburgh, and from there to
Detroit, Mich. I struck out for northern
Indiana and spent a few months at South
Bend, then went back to Detroit for an
other year. Next I was In southern Indi
ana, and after that In Kentucky, where I
stnyed until about three years ngo.
Finally I went to Canada.
"I nm broke now and done for. T sup
pose T could beat them ngnln Tf I really
wanted to, but what's tho use? No one
cares for me nny more, and I myself
do not care much. I am In terrible pain
nlways. It is foolish to say that I
operntcd so ninny promoting schemes.
The newspapers evidently think I am n
genius. I guess other men who have
been detected floating schemes must havo
used my name, or else Imaginative au
thorities thought they were me.
"It was also hunk to say that I got
half of Mrs. Delabarre's Jl.000,000 fortune.
The most I ever hnd from her nt any
lime was $50,000, and that was Invested
In my company. Mis. Delnbarre was a
friend, and was perfectly satisfied with
the new Investments I made for her. My
friends never lost nny money through
m. you may rent assured.
"Mrs. Storr, who went on my bond
for $20,000 when I Jumped It 11! years ngo,
wns reimbursed by my friends, and so
was every one who stood by me. I have
always Intended to pay back the money
those other people lost, and could have
dono so If I had been given half n
chnnce. But once I was launched In
nny business, down would swoop the de
tectives nnd off I would bo ngnln!
"I worked for n time aH n chemist,
which was my profession. When I went
to Toronto my wlfo returned to me nnd
wo opened n house for roomers. That
Is what I wns doing when the detectives
cornered me. I thought I had been out
of tho arena ot New York so long thnt I
was forgotten.
"I was Just forming a company up In
Toronto to manufacture radiators, but
1 suppose that will be busted now. AVe
had sold only $10.1 worth of stock when
tha detectives found me. We called It
tho Sta'ndard Radiator Company, nnd we
were going tn manufacture Individual
radiators. They wero to heat each room
separately. There was a, fortune In It,
nnd 1 might hnve made some money to
pay hack tny debts. I hnvo been living
very quietly for years, because I know
that sooner or later they would get me."
NEW YORK PRAISES REFORM
MACHINE BLOCKED HERE
When Cooke Advertised for City
Employe, Councils Beat Flan.
Mayor Mltchel of New York, Is being
praised for filling a $5000 municipal posi
tion in that city by Inserting In a news
paper an anonymous advertisement that
carried no hint of politics.
When Director Cooke, of the Depart
in nt of Public Works, attempted to get
n chief clerk for the Highway Bureau
back In 1912 nt J2S0O a year, he Inserted
an unsigned classified advertisement tn a
Philadelphia newspaper. Then the Fi
nance Committee of the Organization
controlled Councils unanimously directed
City Controller Walton not to counter
sign a warrant for payment of the ad
vertisement. Final action of the Finance Commit
tee In putting Itfl stamp of disapproval on
the modern method of Director Cooke In
finding a man for a responsible city pe
tition was taken at a meeting hejd last
June.
When Director Cooke Inserted the un
smned ndveitisement money for its pay
ment was available from a deficiency bill
pass, d hy Councils.
Controller Walton wrote to Director
Cenke regarding the ad, as follows:
"This advertisement purports to be that
of a firm of contractors. There is noth
ing to show that the city received any
service or material that would justify the
approval of the voucher and signing of
a warrant by city onlclals for payment
out of funds In the city treasury "
Director Cooke wrote the Controller:
"In Inserting this advertisement we
adopted the almost universal practice
umong the better class of concerns of
not publishing the emplojer's name. We
adequately described the city of Phila
delphia as a Ions-established concern,
handling extensive und miscellaneous con
tract work in connection with city. State
and Government public work.
"The position that we had to fill Is one
ot great responsibility. We were anxious
to use every means In our power to pre
vent our having an applicant Imposed
upon us by Interested parties."

"MUST WEAR TIGHTS
AND CATCH COLD?"
"NEVER!" SAY GIRLS i
'Not Only Will Rheumatism
Stiffen Us, But Think of
What Mamma and 'Dad
dy' Will Say."
Seventy pretty chorus girls of "The
Passing Show ot 19H" company who were
censured by a police lieutenant for ap
pearing on the stage without proper
drapery and tights yesterday left for Bos
ton. The door of a parlor car attached to
the New York express opened Just as
the train pulled out of Broad Street Sta
tion nnd before a reporter stood Jllss
Louise Hunt, i-Mlss Stella Mitchell, Miss
Mary Grey and Miss Mnbcl Barry, all
members of the chorus.
It seemed that only the Misses Barry,
Hunt, Mitchell and Grey were In n talka
tive mood. The remaining members of
the company, including Miss 'Muriel Win
dow, one of the stars, were scattered In
the other Pullmans.
The dancers who, according to Police
Lieutenant Smiley, of the 11th and Win
ter streets station, not only shocked him,
but nlso his subordinates said they were
afraid to open letters from home.
"Theso stories in the newspapers about
the police getting after us will surely
cause mother 'to tell me to come home,"
said Miss Hunt, who has a wealth of
light yellow hair and blazing blue eyes.
"I wonder what daddy will say when
he reads all those stories," Interrupted
Miss Barry, who stood near tho platform.
Tho consensus of opinion among the
members; of the company, from tho star
down to tho stage carpenter, was thnt
Lieutenant Smiley doesn't understand
anything about musical comedies.
COMSTOCK DIDN'T OBJKCT.
Members of the "Passing Show" cast
say a Philadelphia police official Is the
first person to find fault with their danc
ing or tho manner In which they appear
on the stage before the audience.
"Anthony Comstock sat in a box and
saw us play In the same costumes at the
Winter Garden, and never objected," de
clared Miss Grey.
Tha gates were being closed by the
ticket takers, so the dancers proceeded
to tell quickly why the "Passing Show
of 19U" CRn be played better without
tights.
"Wo do considerable dancing," said
Miss Grey. "Should we get Into a draught
we easily catch cold. Since we were com
pelled to put on tights by the police many
of the girls have contracted rheumatism.
"The lieutenant wasn't fair. We were
properly attired. This sort of publicity
Teaches our homes and It Is likely to
cause all sorts of gossip."
The whistle blew and the conductor
shouted "All aboard." The chorus slrls
went to the car.

Prices Won't Be Affected by
War or Weather, Say
Dealers Better Blooms
Than Last Year.
Prices of cut flow.rs will not be af
fected by tho war, the weather or any
other unfortunato circumstance. They
will bo chenper this year than last and
of a far better quality.
As nearly everything else that la In
demand ha1? risen In price, It was rumored
that the cost of flowers would also In
crease. However, Europe Is making no
demand for flowers. Sho Is spending her
money on flour and meats.
Charles Henry Fox, a Broad street
florist, was Inclined to be a bit pessi
mistic regarding the floral situation.
There was no telling vhen a frost would
come. Chrysanthemums will cost the
man who can't watch a football gamo
without a fair lady nt his side to heed
his criticisms of tho plays from $2.50 to
14 a dozen.
Dahlias, another popular fall flower, suf
fered a little fiom tho lack of rain. They
will retail at 23 cents to $1 a dozen.
Bulbs, most of them from Holland, have
not Increased In price. Florists are plenti
fully supplied with them.
H. H. Battles, a 12th street florist, says
that flowers will be plentiful and cheap
this year. The Hadley vases will range
from 2 to $3 a dozen. American Beauties
hold their own as being the most popular.
They retail from 2 a dozen to J7.50.
There Is a 'new arrival In town In the
rose family. It It the "Afterglow," Just
Imported from Ireland. It has a deli
cate tint, Is fragile and has only five
petals. Its popularity has not yet been
given an opportunity to be tested.
Louis Gold, who sells flowers from
baskets on Market street, of u Saturday
night. Is sure the war won't affect hi
business. The weather does. Louis buys
his stock from a, refrigerator. They come
out beautifully chilled und frozen, but
they don't last long. I.ouK when he
make a sale, advises his customers to
hurry home with the flowers. Louis
knows that once the heat gets to them
they will hung their heads nnd shed
their uetnls.
A nice day with the temperature below
freezing helps his business. As tn the
prices his charges vary. If a gentleman
is enthusiastic and boisterous about the
purchase Louis charges 3 a dozen.
At other times the price is around 25
cento.

of the Mails.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 2S.-The United
States Supreme Court today refused to
annul nn Indictment In New York against
Jared Flagg end Daniel N. Morgan. ex
Treasurer of the United States nnd others,
charged with using the mails to defraud
in the sale of stocks. Flagg nnd his col
leagues alleged tho Indictment was void
because the evidence upon which It wns
based was obtained by poslofTIce In

In violation of constitutional guarantees
against unlawful search nnd seizure.
A decision by the Federal Courts of
New York exempting from the operation
of the corporation section of the Income
tax law realty corporations whose In
terest disbursements aro In excess of
their gross Income will be rovlewed by
tho Supremo Court, the court today ac
ceding to the Government's petition for
such a rovlew. Tho Government hold
that theso corporations should bo allowed
to deduct only a part of tho interest pay
ments when calculating net Income. The
cnoo that hnd been appealed was that of
the Forty-Two Company, owner of a
building In New York city at 42 Broad
way. Thp appeal of creditors of Lathrop,
Hasklns & Co., of Now York, from a de
cision of the United States Circuit Court
of Appeals of New York, which allowed
a claim of $103,4S5 in favor of J. M. Flsko
Co., wns dlamlsbed by the supreme
Court. The suit wrose out of a legal con
troversy nn to whether Fisko & Co. should
have Indemnified Lathrop. Hasklns & Co.
for Hocking stock purchased Jut before
both firms failed. It was a sequence of
the famous 'nocking pool" of 1D0D.
Tho court entered an order refusing to
set aside the conviction of Wlltlam L.
Norton, ex-presldent of the American Nn
ttonnl Bank of Bartlosvllle, Oklnhoma, ot
misapplication of the bank's funds.
The court alllrmed tho decision of Foder
al Courts of Ohio in refusing to restrain
tho Industrial Commission of that Statf
from enforcing the anti-screen law passed
for the purpose of protecting coal pur
chasers from Impurities and compelling
the coal operators to pay their miners on
the bnsls of the coal's weight after being
screened. A tost case had been taken
tn the court by the Knll and Itlver Coal
Company. The operators asserted the
law was unconstitutional.
A tnxatlon dispute between officials
of Logan County, Oklahoma, and the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Hall
road, with regard to a tux levy nssessed
by the Oklahoma State Hoard of Taxa
tion, was settled by tho court In favor
of tho railroad.
A verdict of $2S,jOO. rendeied In In
diana courts In favor of the creditors
of the People's State Bank of Huntlng
burg, Intl., and against the United States
Fidelity and Guaranty Company, of
