CONVICTS WHO PRAY
IN DINGY LOFT WANT
TO BUILD A CHAPEL
All They Need at Peniten
tiary Is the Material.
Prisoners Kneeled in Dark
on Christmas.
Who wilt Blva a bag of cement worth
to cent to the prisoners of the Eastern
State Penitentiary and hetp mates It
possible for them to construct a build
In where they may meet for church
services and other purposes?
The convicts celebrated this Christmas!
In a small, dim and depressing- loft over
one of the prison storage building. They
want a better holiday next year, and
they hare told Warden Itobert J. Mc
Kenty they will construct a modern con
crelo meeting hall, capable of seating
mora than the 1101 Inmate of the peniten
tiary, If the material, costing about fSOOO,
I available.
"It's an outrage that we haven't some
place where the men can get together for
ft good time onca In a while," said War
den MoKenty today. "It spoiled my
Christmas to see them waiting In line to
get Into that dark, disreputable loft to
do their worshiping. X wish tome of the
men who are going to the Legislature
could have been there and seen the con
vict kneeling on the dusty rough board
In the dark. They would get me an ap
propriation for a building then.
'The loft In question Is so. full when
WO convicts are In It that movement Is
almost impossible," he said. "It Is
reached by a narrow stairway, up which
the prisoner have to (lie one at a time.
It would not be tolerated by law a a
meeting place for any but convicts."
Warden McKenty was told about ths
presentation yesterday by William A.
Brady of Owen Davis' new play "Sin
ners" before the prisoners of the Sing
Hint. N. T.. Jail.
"Yes, I know about that, and the In
mates here learned about It, too, and
they're very envious," he eald. "We have
had offer from the best theatrical com
panies that ever visited Philadelphia.
They have agreed time and again to come
out hero and give performances, but we
have had to decline overy time because
we have no place for such production."
Bequests for an appropriation for a new
building have been made ori numerous oc
casions by Warden McKenty ttnd the
Board of Inspectors. They havo always
been denied. The prison Is, officially, con'
ducted on the principle of separate con
finement, and under this rule the prison
ers are not allowed to congregate for any
v purpose.
I have managed to avoid tms antique
o. system," said the warden, "and the men
mingle togethor In so rar as is possmie.
n But this old loglo la brought up wnenever
"j church or a hall Is suggested. Imagine,
11 It 1 considered Inadvisable to allow the
"0". vmen to pray together.. Each man must
ot' pray In his cell alone. What kind oc
religious progress can be made under that
system? Where would 'Billy' Sunday bo
If the law obtained outside the prison I"
Warden MoKenty pointed out what ap
peared to be theJAnest and most modem
building of all the prison structures.
"The rntn built that alone," he said,
"and prison architects from every sec
tion of the country have come here and
copied It. If we can build that we can
build a hall. All we need Is the ma
terial."

SOCIAL WORKERS
IN FAVOR OF NEW
DETENTION HOUSE
Indorse Grand Jury's Rec
ommendation That Build
ing for Juveniles Be Lo
cated on Outskirts.
Social workers today Indorsed the De
cember Grand' Jury's recommendation
that the proposed new house of detention
be erected on the outskirts of the city,
where "child prisoners" can have out
door recreation'.
In presenting their report members of
the Grand Jury touched upon the condi
tion of children of the noor who live In
Philadelphia's dirty tenements. The Jury
said clean and natural surroundings would
help a great deal In reforming Juvenile
offenders, who, according to statistics,
make their first step Into criminal 11 fo
through bad surroundings.
"Many of the youngsters, raised In the
tenement districts by vicious or Incom
petent parents, nro Incorrigible usually
temporarily so, because they have not
been able to satisfy the element of play
In clean surroundings," says the Jury's
report.
Members of the Philadelphia Housing
Commission expressed themselves in fa
vor of having the proposed house of de
tention located In the outskirts of the eitv.
Social workers attached to settlements In
South Philadelphia, who have been ap
pealing In vain to members vof Councils'
Finance Committee to appropriate funds
for the enforcement of the new housing
laws, also believe a house of detention
in the country would help to reform the
juvenile offender.
Slnco the Grand Jury has become In
terested In the welfare of children who
are prisoners, it was suggested by many
persons that the body also should en
lighten Itself on the present tenement
house problem.
This question was Ignored completely
by Councils In the city appropriations for
the year of IMS. ' Appropriation of
1213,710 was asked to maintain the new
Division of Housing and Sanitation
created by act of the Legislature. This
not was signed by Governor Tener.
Among those who are opposed to the
granting of appropriations are the Inter
national Tenement Owners' Association
and Select Councilman Charles Scger, of
the 7th Ward, chairman of the Subcom
mittee on Finance of Councils.-'
Some conditions at the House of De
tention, located at Arch and 22d streets,
are praised highly "by ths Grand Jury,
but the ventilation In that institution Is
described as being very bod and un
healthful to children who are quartered
there The bad ventilation, according to
the Grand Jury, Is due to the fact that
It has beett necesaary to cut up many
of the rooms Into smaller ones.
Present existing conditions In the tene

RESURRECTION OF
SQUARE-RIGGERS
RECALLS OLD DAYS
Prospective Departure of
Two Vessels Reinaugu-
rates Glory of Stars and
Stripes on Seven Seas.
Glorious days, when the American flag
was supreme upon the seven seas, will be
recalled In a few days when two big
American square-rigged sailing vessels
will unfurl their clouds of canvas at this
pert and sail for Japan, with cargoes of
petroleum In wooden Inclosed tin cases.
Tears ago this trade was the most
thriving of the port. Hundreds of wind
jammers, filled with all of the romance of
the sea, Inspirations to writers of sea
tales, came to and left this port each
week. Today only a few of these vessels
remain, and the number under the ritara
and Stripes can be counted on one's (bi
tiers. Two of tho latter are the Dlffiko
and John jEna, now loading here for their
voyages to the Far East.
The Blrlgo Is one of the famous ves
sels of tho Bewail fleet of steel, Bath
built square-riggers. With her sister
ships, the Arthur Sewatl, Edward Sewall,
William P. Fryo and Ersklne M. PHelps.
she has written sea history.
The Arthur Sewall, which left here sev
eral years ago, has never been heard from
since'. It Is rumored In shipping circles
that the other vesoels, now bound for
England from the Pacific coast with
grain, are to load oil here for the land
of the Mikado.
The revival of the trade Is due to
the scarcity of steamships to meet the
urgent demand of business. The war has
removed about 5.000.0M tons of ships from
the seas. They have either been in
terned, sunk or commandeered. The
sailing vessels are getting high freights
for the transportation of the oil. It is
Bald that the price paid each vessel leav
ing here will be about J35.0CO. It is es
timated vthat the run will require from
60 to 100 days. The ships will return in
ballast.
This latter fact recalls to veteran sea
followers of the port, that there la a
wharf on the Camden side of the Dela
ware Diver, above Kalghn'a Point, made
up entirely of earth from all parts of
the globe. This dirt was carried there
In the old days as ballast and discharged
upon arrival Today the vessels carry
water ballast which can readily be
pumped into the river,
Romance surrounds the John Ena.
She was named after a Hawaiian Chin
ese and was built in dlasgow She was
admlted to American registry when the
United States annexed the "pearl islands
of the Pacific." Three years ago Captain
Olsen, master of the vessel, married a
pretty Qermantown girl In this olty. She
sailed with him on the following day
for a honeymoon voyage, whlob. lasted
one year and extended to Hlto. Hawaii
and back, via the treacherous reaches of
Cape Horn.
fins accompanies her husband on all
of his trips and will make the run to
Japan. Mrs. Olsen knows as much about
navigation today as her husband. A year
ago she saved the ship and all hands on
board by her prompt action in seising
the wheel which a frightened seaman had
deserted In a storm.
Jack; London and bis wife made a voy
age 'round the Horn on the Dirigto sev
eral years ago During the run to San
SVancisco he completed his story, "The
Valley of the Moon."
For' many years this decadent type of
clipper ship PilJ between this port and
Hawaii In the ska.r trade. The opening
of the Panama Canal doomed this busi
ness, as It was not possible for them to
compete against steamships using the
great waterway. Because of the area of
ealms on the western approaches to the
canal the towage fees beoatne prohibitory

these stately square-riggers was at an I

REPORT OF DYNAMITE PLOT
AT BETHLEHEM GROUNDLESS
Steel Company Officials Deny Spies
Have Attempted Bomb Outrages.
SOUTH BETHLEHEM, Pa., Dec. 28
There is absolutely no truth to the re
port that attempts havo been made to
blow up certain departments of the Beth
lehem Steel Company's armor and pro
jectile plants by spies, according to the
local police. Steel company officials also
deny the rumors.
Humors have prevailed hero since the
beginning of tho European war about
splca Infesting the plant and bombs being
mscoverod, but each was found to do
groundless.
On the suggestion of tho United States
Government tho Bteel company about six
weeks ago added additional police to Its
force, which has guarded the plant for
years. The Government of this country
has ttar contracts' In process of manu
facture here, as have several foreign na
tions, and United Stntcs officials do not
want Inspectors of other countries to ob
tain Information regarding patents on
war material, hence tho reinforced police

PR0BLEM IN MAINTAINING
CITY'S DOLLAR TAX RATE
Joint Committee of Councils Must
Faco Increased Expenses.
How Philadelphia may continue the $1
tax rate and at the same time meet the
increased expenses that will be caused
by Interest and sinking fund charges of
the millions that are to be borrowed Is
n problem which will be considered by
a Joint committee of Councils.
Tho joint committee is headed by
John P. Connolly, the chairman of the
Finance Committee of Councils end
chief exponent of a continued Jl tax
rate. It was named to consider legis
lation affecting Philadelphia that will be
Introduced at the coming session of the
Legislature.
The feasibility ot amending the "pay-as-
ou-go" act of 1370 and adding about
$1,000,000 to the annual revenue of the
city by permitting the City Controller
to cstlmato closer the city's revenues Is
being considered. At present the 11,000,000
by. which the annual revenue Is under
estimated goes Into the revenues of the
succeeding year as a surplus.
Connelly has announced further that
by elimination of examptlons of per
sonal property valued at J250.O0O.00O from
taxation and by greater vigilance In as
sessments, the revenue from personal
property taxes can be Increased to
$5,000,000. In 1914 there was $530,000,000
of personal property taxed, yielding
$2,120,000.
range the desk. I will be in in a moment."
"Yes. sahib."
When Hassam Alt finished his note he
destroyed the blotter and the sheets of
paper which had underlain that upon
which lie had written. This note he gave
to the servant. He felt no worry about
this not. The man who received It
would Immediately destroy It. To keep It
and use It In the aim of blackmail would
only tighten the rope about his neck.
As has doubtless been surmised by this
time Hassam All was a master criminal.
They say that every man who commits
a crime leaves something behind. Has
sam All had winnowed down his risks
until they were almost negligible. Every
man who worked for htm did so under
the unwritten contract of life or death.
Nearly every tool Hassam All had stood
under the shadow of death. That was
principally why nothing ever Jed the trail
to his house. There was among the va
rious cliques over which he held sway
no ordinary crook; the porch climber, the
yeggman. the forger, the pickpocket had
no standing among these men. They were
all more or less men of scientific attain
ments In whom the criminal instincts
had been born, not created by environ
ment. At 8 o'clock Amed came Into the myi
tis room and announced that two gen
tlemen wished to see him. Amed was
bidden to bring them forthwith. They
were old men, hawk featured, with high
foreheads and brilliant eyes despite their
apparent antiquity. They greeted Has
sam Ali respeottully, but there was noth
ing servile In their attitudes. They needed
Hassam Ali, who In turn needed them.
Thus they were equals.
"You have It still?" Inquire Hassam
All-
Yes, we have never dared to patent It
We are holding It until some great war
breaks forth."
"Listen."
For halt an hour conversation was
carried on In a monotone. At the end
Hassam All sighed drew out bis wallet
and gave each man a roll of bank note,
eareful to observe that there were no
gold eerilteates. As the vllltors stood up,
about ta make their departure. Hassam
All bade them wait a moment He sum
