The Rev. Dr. William A. Sunday came into Philadelphia this afternoon ready for the battle with sin,
clear-eyed, ruddy-faced, in the pink of physical condition. His mouth, in repose, was a thin, prim line,
but most of the time, it was twisted up at the corners in a happy grin. His chin was thrust out
pugnaciously. He likes to fight; it is the breath of life to him.

COURT DENIES U.S.
PLEA TO DISSOLVE
WATCHCASEFIRM
But an Injunction Is Granted
to Prevent Alleged Boy
cott by the Keystone Com
pany. Judge JlcPherson filed .an opinion in
the United Stales District Court today,
denying the petition of the Government
for the dissolution of the Keystone
Watchcase Company as a trust for al
leged violations of the Sherman anti-trust
law. The court, however, granted an In
junction against the company to prevent
it from carrying out boycott methods.
Jn filing his opinion Judge McPherson
said; ,
"Tho defendant declared that the policy
of boycott had been given up before the
bill of complaint was filed by the Gov
ernment, and there Is some testimony
to that effect, but the circular has never
been withdrawn or rfegated and the com
pany's resolution of January. 1910. has
never been rescinded, so that we feel
no hesitancy In action on the assumption
that the polloy wa at least formally
In force whon the Government began the
suit now before us. and, we have no doubt
that an Injunction should be granted.
"But we see no sufficient evidence that
the public Interest requires us to break
up the existing corporate entity."
Tho suit Was orougni oy aa uovern
nient several years ago. The company
was charged with forming combinations
with several manufacturers throughout
the country and of using boycott methods
lu restraint of trade.
Four thousand persona were thrown out
ot work today at Riverside. W J., when

Watchc-ise Company At that town closed

Hard tlmea, due to the general business

"Blind" Alleys and 200
in Rear Houses.
Investigation by tho Philadelphia Hous
ing Commission of houses hi the' 11th
Ward today disclosed many dwellings
occupied by, poor families in a revolting
. condition.
The Uth Ward, one of the congested
wards of Philadelphia. Is represented In
Common Council by John P. Connelly,
tho Ilepublcan Organization's financial
expert mid chairman of Councils' Finance
Committee. Connelly Is among the Coun
cllnlen who refused to appropriate monoy
for the enforcement of the new Division
of Housing and Sanitation.
Inspection of houses In tho 11th Ward
was begun following a. conference of di
rectors of the Philadelphia Housing Com
mission whon Connolly asserted In Coun
cil's meeting several weeks ago that
he never heard of a death In' a river ward
due to housing conditions.
A tour through the Uth Ward, it was
learned today, disclosed tenements with
out flre-escupes, defective toilets, cellars
flooded with stagnant water, defective,
roofs and properties surrounded by filth,
MANY DEATHS IN WARD.
According to a statement by Bernard
J, Newman, secretary of the Phila
delphia Housing Commission In 1913,
37 deaths occurred out of every 2000
persons living In Connelly's ward. Jlr.
Newman also rnado tho statement that
a percentage In deaths in tne Jlth
Wnrd was 10 to 15 higher than In tho
city at largo and also higher thun
many of the other wards by 25 and
85 per cent.
The Investigation of Connelly's ward
has not been completed. A corps of
trained Investigators are In the ward to
day making a house-to-house canvass
and getting a record of the, violations.
The Investigation of tho 11th Ward will
be followed by similar Inspections of
other tenement wards which are 'repre
sented In Councils. by men who refused
to recognize the new housing laws.
Inspectors found In some sections 'there
was no open space for free circulation of
ulr, Inadequate toilets, defective plumbing,
damp walls and other conditions which
has been pointed out as a menace to
health.
WHAT INVESTIGATORS FOUND.
Of 150 houses Inspected In Connelly's
ward, tho report or the Investigators
shows that there are 13 vaults, 10 tene
ments without fire-escapes, instances of
defective plumbing, six cellars fl'led with
stagnant water. U leaking roofs and 21
pieces of property surrounded by filth.
"We shall continue to gather eon
pleted." said Mr. Newman today, after
holding a conference with Inspectors.
"We shall continue and gather con
clusive data showing that a new Divi
sion of Housing Is needed. Some of the
conditions we found In the Uth Ward
are beyond description."
The Philadelphia Housing Conunlsloo.

MAGISTRATE CRITICISES
COUNCILS FOR INACTIVITY
"Pity They Cau't Find Work for Un
employed," He Declares.
Magistrate Delcher, sitting at .the 10th
and Duttonwood streets station at the
trial of a man who stole o bottle of
milk after vainly seeking work, criticised
Councils for their failure to provide
work for the unemployed.
Frank Hemell, 65 years old, 1003 Mount
Vernon street, was arrested for the theft
early this morning by Policeman Dick
enson at 10th and Spring Garden streets.
Ho told the Court he had nothing to eat
for nearly three days und was too proud
to betf. Ho said he took the milk) to
save himself from starvation. The po
liceman told the Magistrate iremell was
too weak to attempt escape,
"It is a pity that Councils can't find
work for some of our unemployed and
assist men who are willing to work and
who are driven to steal in order to live,"
the Magistrate said. Hemell was re
leased after a collection had been taken
for him at tha station house-
