SJ fgotulf EVENING; PRESIDENT SENDS THANKS Telegram to John Wnnamaker Ex presses Appreciation of Greetings. A telegram was received today by John Wanamakcr from Joseph P. Tumulty, secretary to President Wilson, conveying the President's appreciation of the action of those who attended the dinner given to Governor-elect Martin O. Brumbaugh December 17 In sending Christmas salu tations to the President. The telegram from Mr. Tumulty fol lows: "My Dear Slri "The President asks mo to convey to you and to all concerned an oxpresslon of his very many thanks for tho generous words of your telegram of December 17. He deeply appreciates your general as surances." The telegram of December 17 follows: "To the President of the United States! "we offer our Christmas greetings and Heart salutations. AVe rejoice that he has lived In good health through this , , . .,,v.,i ....... i- , I ,vtr,mjtlv Avitntftll venr. luxirlno hprtVV burdens and doing heroic work, and wo assure him of our loyal and sincere sup port In every effort he has made and will make at the proper tlmo to end those dark days of war and bloodshed," DESERVING MOTHER BEARS UP BRAVELY DNDER BIG STRAIN Family Sorely in Need De spite Woman's Heroic Efforts to Keep Wolf From Their Door. The wolf has been chased away from tho door of a certain family of five for a llttlo while, but he Is not very far away and he may como back. Tho father In this family Is too ill to work. The mother is the solo bread winner. Some day Mary, her oldest daughter, will bo nolo to help, but that will not bo for flvo years, ns Mary Is but 9 years old now. Francis R. Lowell, n young college graduate who wanted to make Bomebody hnpplcr this Christmas, found this fam ily. They aro not of tho typo that ac cepts chnrlty or the children might now be in institutions. Tho mother Is a scrub woman now. Once upon a tlmo she presided over n comfortablo home. Just like tho thousands of well-furnished, thriving, two-story palaces that have made Phila delphia famous. Then the father's health failed, Whenever he Is strong enough he Roes out now to look for work, but he Is never able to remain at It when he gets It. So the mother has taken over tho con tract of supporting her husbnnd, Mary. Alfonso, S years old, and William, 3 years old, and she has been doing It now for more than a year on 122 a month. The grocer near her home runs book ac counts, but not with this woman. She does not owe a cent. The butcher does not know her. Tho family never eats meat. Everything has not been plain sailing In the last year. Thin soup and Btalo bread have been the staples In this little homo. There have been doctor bills now and then, and when these come along they brenk up the painfully figured out allotment of the 122 a month. The wife and mother's wedding ring went to a dealer In old gold after one of these oc casions, When tho mar. who Investigated went to the house he learned that llttlo Mary had written a nolo to Santa Claus. Among othor things she bad asked for some meat for a Christmas dinner. Mary ex plained she llltes meat She remembers having, eaten a small piece early last summer and It was good, she says. Mr. Lowell has contributed a week's salary to provide a Christmas tree, a good dinner nnd some small gilts to the members of the family. He also has re ceived a few contributions, but not enough to keep the wolf away very long. Unless more fooVl and clothing are obtained the woman breadwinner Is going to have a difficult time. WHITMAN TIGHTENS NET ON SLAYERS OF BAFF Bartender's Confession Reveals De tails of Plot to Kill Victim. NEW YORK, Dec. 23. The police be lieve they have all of the missing threads In the Baft murder case within their grasp. Carl Rettlch, a Hoboken bar tender, who was arrested yesterday on his refusal to testify concerning an al leged conversation between the gang sters and tho men "higher up" which took place In the saloon where Rettlch worked, showed a chastened spirit this morning and Is expected to "give up" all the facts in his possession, The police believe he saw the actual payment of the blood money which re sulted In Barfs assassination. Rettlch has made a complete confes sion to the District Attorney on every point but one where he got the money to retain Abraham Harawlts, a lawyer, to defend James Moore when the latter was arrested. But he has furnished Mr, Whitman with exact Information as to the time and place where the plot was hatched that resulted In the murder, and has promised to give this same Informa tion before the Grand Jury tomorrow. It Is belhved that his testimony will clinch the case against the suspects un der arrest and others may be taken Into custody.

T- HEARD IN SHOP AND STREET 'MID GHRISTMASING CROWDS What Happened at a Bargain (En) counter Observa tions of the Eleventh-Hour Shoppers. The spirit of "Peace on earth, good will to men" was temporarily suspended at the lingerie counter of a popular de partment Btoro today. Bargains were advertised real two-days-beforc-Chrlst-mas bargains and women from the four ends of the city had assembled to take advantngo of them. A dainty crepe do chine camisole was the bono of contention between two of them. It was a fragile thing, a mere whiff of lace and ribbons. "I saw It flrst," said Shopper No. 1, "and it's the last one there. I cannot give it up." , "I beg your pardon," Bald Shopper No. 2, frigidly, "but I had my eye on It be fore you even approached the counter"." RiDl Zlnl Away! They both tugged nt the same time, and the camisole became a .thing of rags nnd tatters, whereupon tho saleawoman called on tho floor walker to decide who was to pay for damages. But Solomon, In all his glory and wisdom, would have been Justified In reneging on a case like that. Overheard In one block on Chestnut street: "I'll never forgve mm it no gives me the ring for a Christmas present " "You can't make $J go very far at this time of the year " "If I did the right thing by Johnny I'd get him a pair of shoes, but he's set his little heart on the fire engine V "It's always a good thing to have a ESTATE FOR MISSING MAN IF HE TURNS UP TO CLAIM IT W.

New complications In coal rates In this State may result from the investigation being conducted by the Interstate Com merce Commission, argument In which will be made In Washington after Janu ary 15. Should the Commission order any changes in through rates it probably will afford another basis for action by town and cities of Pennsylvania through the State Public Service Commission to ob tain reduced rates in tho State.
