MAYOR CONSIDERS
DIRECTOR HARTE'S
THREAT TO RESIGN
AVchitect Johnson's Connec
tion With Health Depart
ment at Root of Controversy.
SENATOR CHARGES
U.S. PLOT AGAINST
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
ildyor fitankenburs will tako under
consideration today the controversy In
tho Department of Health and Charities
ttat readied ft climax yesterday when
Dr.' Richard It. Hartc threatoncd to re
sigh hla post as director of tho depart
ment within five minutes, If tho Mayor
desired his resignation.
Assistant Director Wilson, whoso loy
alty to tho Blankonbtirg Administration
lm.a been tho cause of constant nttneks
upon him by leaders of the Organization
111 Councils and whoso views, divergent
from Dr. Itarto's upon tho methods of
tho department, havo led to constant
friction between him and tho director,
lias mado no statement In the present
controversy.
Dlrcolor llarto has tho right to dis
miss Assistant Director Wilson, accord
ing to Attorney John lr.' Vow. Ho called
on. tho dlrcotor this morning and In
formed hi in that Ilia department was not
created by tho Bullitt bill, but by tho
set of 1903, which gives tho director tho
power mentioned.
The attorney also said the director told
hint that ho Had never appointed Wilson,
tho latter having been selected by former
Director Nert. Fow ulso asserted that
Assistant Director Wilson was not, there
fore, tho assistant director, and declared
that the City Controller could bring suit
against 'Wilson for money which ho re
ceived as Balary slnco former Director
NCtt resigned.
Asked If he would take any action In
view of Tow's opinion. Director Harto
said, "r will consider Mr. Fow's (state
ment, but I cannot say unythlng further
Just now."
As tho Mnyor'd Cabinet meet Inmnrmv.
it Is probablo that tho controversy will
be thrashed out thoroughly at tho meet
ing. Director Harto's proposul to attempt
tho reconstruction of Blockloy at a cost
of Jff.000,000, with Fhlllp H. Johnson, Or
ganization protege, as architect, Is tho
primary cause of tho present strained re
lations In tho department.

Suffrage "Urged in Bhode Island
PROVIDENCE, n. I., Jan. 6. With
tho Republicans In control, tho General
Assembly convened hero today. On Joint
ballot tho Republicans outnumber tho
Democrats' by a majority of 100 votes.
Governor It. Livingston Beeckman, In
opening the session, urged that the
women of Bhode Island be granted suf
frage at once.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Senator John
D. Works, of California, denounced the
Public Health Service as ft tool used to
enrry out tho mandates of the American
Medical Association In the benato today.
Ho likened what ho declared to bo an
underhand nttempt by tho Government
to suppress the practice of Christian Sci
ence to the persecution of Christ and the
stoning of Stephen for healing.
Senator Works charged that tho Public
Health Scrvlco was given ovor without
question to the allopathic school of mod
Iclne to tho absolute exclusion of nil
other modes of healing; that the sur
geon general wns "clothed with despotic
and autocratic power not exceeded by
that of tho general of an army In time
of martial law," nna that tho Govern
ment had usurped the constitutional lib
erties of Individuals.
"Christian Scientists havo no monop
oly of divine healing," declared Senator
Works. "Jesus of Nazareth practiced
It centuries ago. In Hla great work of
healing He resorted to neither drugs nor
tho surgeon's knife, neither did Ho rec
ommend or rccognlzo any such remedies.
"Jesus, -who taught and practised this
method of lhcallng, was persecuted, Im
prisoned nnd finally crucified. His dis
ciples, following In HIb footsteps, met ft
like fate. The men nnd women of today
who aro conscientiously trying to carry
out His Injunctions to heal the sick aro
persecuted and Imprisoned as He and His
disciples were persecuted and Imprisoned.
"If they wore hero today doing tho
work of healing as they aid then, they
would bo subject to fine and Imprison
ment under the laws of some of the
States. They would .have been held crim
inals under the laws of still other States
If they had healed the sick without Urst"
procuring a license 'rroni an examining
board of doctors.
"In tho ondcavor to preserve tho pub
lic health wo havo given tho Surgeon
General and his subordinates almost un
limited powers. If contagion Is feared
tho Surgeon General Is clothed with or
assumes despotic and autocratic power.
He represents for tho time being the
enormous and unrestrained police power
of tho Government. We havo given this
vast power over the lives and habits of
our people to ono public official, and the
people are compelled to submit to his
dictation.
"As it Is now governed tho Public
Health Service Is an auxiliary of the
American Medical Association, and, of
course, Is biased, narrow and unjust Tho
Government Bhould 'see to It that the
service Is removed from any such In
fluence and mado the unbiased and hon
est searcher for the best that can be
found as a means of preventing disease
and preserving tho public health."

Ernest li. Tustln. Others In this dele
cation included Magistrate Harris, John
Dugan. Edward Boyle, Edward Cole and
William Tyson.
A large delegation of Phllndelphlans ar
rived hero last night for tho opening of
the session. Ex-Magistrate James Carey
and Councllmcn John McKlnley, Jr., and
Dr. William D. Bacon, we're among lust
night's arrivals.
Immediately after tho organization of
House and Sennte the two bodies con
vened In Joint session In tho hall of tho
House of Representatives, whero tho
annual message of Governor Tener was
read. Following this tho bodies ad
journed to Tuesday, January 19, when
Doctor Brumbaugh will be Inaugurated
Governor nnd the business of tho session
begun with tho newly chosen Stato Execu
tive Irmly In the saddle.
BfiUMBAUGH'S POWER COMPLETE.
Governor-elect Brumbaugh's domina
tion of the situation makes tho session
one of tho most important held jn many
years. Legislation such as local option,
workmen's compensation, employers'
liability, child labor, Philadelphia port
development and civil Bervlcc, to all of
which Doctor Brumbaugh pledged him
self during his ct-mpalgn and which fre
quently Blnco his election he has an
nounced his purpose to light for, will bo
considered, and should bo passed. If tho
Republican bosses who have dominated
former Legislatures continue to feel tho
lash ot his whip as they felt it in the
Speakership flpnt.
His complete control of tho situation
was demonstrated last night, when, after
every Republican member of tho House
had declared himself for Charles A. Am
bler, of Montgomery County, for Speaker,
the Republican members of the Senate
agreed to hold up ratification of every
one of Governor Tener's recess appoint
ments. Including that of Walter (H.
Galther as a member of the Public Serv
ice Commission, until after he becomes
Governor Brumbaugh.
Senator James P. McNIchol. whose ex
act attitude In regard to the Governor
elect was In doubt until the Republican
Senators met In caucus at 9 o'clock last
night, showed tho extent of Doctor Brum
baugh's power over the Incoming Legis
lature when he fell Into line with the
Vares and Introduced and assisted In
passing In that caucus a resolution which
provided that nothing but matters per
taining to the organization of the new
Senate be considered today. Tener's re
cess appointments were expected to come
before the Senate today for ratification.
' TENER IN POLITICAL ECLIPSE.
Among many of the legislators who
served two years ago, there was a feeling
of sympathy today for the retiring Gov
ernor. He Is considered of so little conse
quence by the leaders who placed him In
the Governor's chair, that they have de
serted him in his last hour appointments,
and he Is retiring without any knowledge
that he will bo granted the last requests
he has made. He has been "thrown
pyer,'.' In other words, for his successor,
Even the talk of the reappointment of
Robert McAfee as Secretary of the Com
monwealth has dwindled to almost
nothing today. When the Allegheny
County delegation met In caucus yester
day It was noticed that McAfee did not
control a solitary vote In the entire del
egation, and tha word quickly went
around that, in view of the failure of the
TJllver-MoAfee faction In the last elec
tion, he could' be ot no use to any of
the Republican1 leaders, including the
present dominating leader, Doctor Brum
baugh. This was given as one reason
for tho failure of Governor Tener to
name him for the vacancy on the Pub
lic Service Commission,
GOVERNOR DISAPPOINTED.
Governor Tenec comment this morning
on the decision of the Senate caucus to
hold up his recent nomination's Indicated
that th'e was disappointed, "I don't cere
what the Senators do," ho said, adding
thAt he had no apologies to give or ex
cuse to make for any of tits appoint,
ments. No Intimation had coma to him,
he declared, that hi selections for the
PuBltj Service -Conrmlselon or for any
other offlca were displeasing to the Re
publican leaders. He mentioned Mr.
Galther hy name, as one Whose fitness
for a place on the commission commended
itself to hi judgment, and aaJ4 It was
not posilbja for any roan named for a re
sponsible position to escavs criticism.

LIQUOR INTERESTS BEATEN.
After Governor-elect Brumbaugh so
overwhelmingly defeated tho Pcnrose
McNichol faction of tho Republican party
and tho liquor interests In tho speaker
ship fight, by forcing the Republican
caucus to nominate Ambler unanimously
last night, political discussion today cen
tres around the session, which opened at
noon.
The liquor interests wero beaten so
badly by Doctor Brumbaugh In their first
skirmish that members and Senators are
almost unanimously agreed that these In
terests will havo the question brought up
at tho earliest possible moment. The
party leaders also wnnt the question dis
posed of ns soon as possible, so that the
principal danger of friction with Gover
nor Brumbaugh can be passed at once.
HARD FIGHT ON LOCAL OPTION,
A hard right over local option Is now
expected to develop In both branches of
the Assembly. The liquor Interests spent
(11,000,000 during tha campaign to elect
their cantlldntes, and will want to get
the best possible return for this money.
The bill wilt most probably be Introduced
In the House, nnd plans arc already be
ing discussed to oppose it bitterly on the
floor of the lower body when It Is re
ported out of committee. The liquor men
aro taking no chances on tho Senate, now
that Senator McNIchol has shown a dis
position to "go along" with the Governor
elect, and want to dispose of the ques
tion nt once.
The real test of strength between Gov
ernor Brumbaugh nnd the Legislature
will come over the local option question.
But whether he wins or loses that 'flght
nnd he has a good chance to win only
harmony Is expected to exist for the rest
of tho session. The Republican leaders
have pledged themselves to put through
adequate workmen's compensation, child
labor nnd employers' liability laws.
CAUCUSES WITHOUT RIPPLE.
The caucuses last night ran as smooth
ly as they ever did before tho revolt
against machine leadership In 1913. The
Houso. Republicans unanimously nomi
nated Charles A. Ambler for Speaker
upon motion of "Dirt Road" Edward E.
Jones, of Susquehanna County. Repre
sentatives Baldwin, of Delaware; Wil
liams, of Tioga; Wilson, of Jefferson, and
Habgood, of McKean, who had withdrawn
In his favor late in tho afternoon after
tho Vares had shown their complete con
trol of tho situation for the Governor
elect, seconded the nomination.
Thomas II, Garvin was nominated for
chief clerk of the House, William 8. Lelb
for resident clerk and Frank Morrison,
of the ltth Ward in Philadelphia, for
assistant chief clerk, Morrison was slated
to succeed Willard S. Black, of Cumber
land County.
The Republican Senators In their caucus
did nothing besides sidetrack considera
tion of the Tener, recess appointments,
except formally make nominations that
were already slated. Charles H. Kline,
of Allegheny, was nominated for presi
dent pro tern., W. Harry Baker for sec
retary, Herman Kephart for chief clerk
and Herman Miller for librarian,
Representative Jones, and several of the
other men who spoke In the House
caucus, asked the members to BUpport
Governor Brumbaugh In his entire plat
form. This was the only discussion of
Issues and was conducted In a general
way.
Nearly tho entire Republican strength
In the House attended the- caucus, 180
being present. Representative H. Atlee
Brumbaugh, of Blair, County, a cousin
of the Governor-elect, was among the
four absentees. The entire Philadelphia,
delegation was present. Congressman-at-Large-elect
John R K. 8qott and Jo
eph R. Grundy were In the room whle
the cauous was being held.
The caucus of the Philadelphia deleft
gatlon, which was to have been held, was
called off. The Vares and David H,
Lane, who had planned to Increase their
own and Doctor Brumbaugh's power by
having the delegation pledge itself to all
of the measures advocated by Dootor
Brumbaugh, decided late last night to
let matters rest as they are. This de
cision' was reached after Senator Mc
NIchol arrived here and showed that he
would ''go along."

Continued from Tniro One
Brlgg a week ago S one of the hiaRie
trales whd wero obstructing the PoUCo
Department by discharging most of the
prisoners whoso cases they heard. Brlggs
has close Organization arflllnllons. In ii
statement this morning ho hlntw at
vengeance for the 17th District police
when the present ndmlnlalrUion was
over. Tho police had been shortsigntca,
he declared. They would soon havo
another director.
"GANG" BOMBARD SHOP.
, According to BUrkhardt, the youths
tried to demolish the doors.'and windows
,of his store Inst night after, he had put
one of them otit. Tho boy ho turned out
wrb back Itwldc of 10 minutes with a
full-sited gang. When they reached the
store they yelled threats and then stnttcd
a bombardment with milk .bottles picked
from doorsteps 'In tho neighborhood.
When Burkliarut saw tho danger he
and his store were In he telephoned to
the 17th District police- sfatlon. Lieuten
ant Bennett wmvlias heard many com
plaints of rowdyism in the neighborhood,
set out hurriedly for the Btore with Spe
cial Policemen McGlnly and Copo and
Policemen Jerden, Harrison, Burton and
Wilkinson.
The gang scattered when tho police tip
Deared nround the corner on Wharton
street, but six youths wero captured,
All aro under 20. They aro Frank pur
man, 1519 Gilnther street; Daniel Dough
erty, 1551 South Corllcs street! Samuel
Johnson, 2830 Peltz street; Francis Mc
Donnld, 2003 Wharton street; Harry Cor
unon, 1.111 South Corllcs street; Joseph
Loijue, 1321 South 21th street. Lieuten
ant Benilctt took tho boys to the 17lh dls-
frlft afdtfnn n'J mit them 111 oellfl.
Then some tlmo during tho night Burk
hiirtlt and Llcutcnnnt Bennett "agreed to
have tho prisoners' sent to City Hal! this
morning to hnv.q; . their cases heard by
Mnglstrate Renshnw, Instead of allowing
them to nppea'r before Magistrate Brlggs,
Uho. Burkhardt feared, would deal
lightly with them.
PRISONERS ARE FINED.
Magistrate Renshaw, In tho Central
Police Court, nned Frank Cournon 112.60
and tho others fj each. Ho reprimanded
them severely.
When Magistrate Brlggs' reached tho
15th street and Snyder nvenuo station
this morning and held court, ho was
told there weren't any cases at, tho 17th
District Station, nnd he needn't go over
there. As a matter of fact there wero
Bevon caees at the 17th District, but It
had been arranged Brlggs should hear
none of them.
No one Interested In tho matter will
tell how the plan wns worked out or who
thought of it. Lieutenant Bennett de
clined to discuss the case. Burkhardt, tho
police say, told them ho wanted the
prisoners taken beforo Magistrate Ren
shaw because he wan suro Justlco could bo
done In Renshaw's court.
BRIGGS HINTS OF REVENGE.
Magistrate Brlggs put on a nonchalant
air when he was asked what he thought
of having missed tho six prisoners. But
mero was inreat against tho 17th DIs
trlst policemen In tho statement he made.
There was only a year more of tho
present administration, he said, and tho
police were shortsighted If they forgot
that some day they would be under an
other director. He said:
"So they're at it again are they? Well,
I'll not lose any sleep about It. So far
as I am concerned, they can go as far
ns they like with It. Thcro aro only 12
moro months of this thing to go through
with, anyhow. If tho 17th District men
feel they can get better treatment nt
Central Station and want to sjnd their
prisoners there, let them. I am through.
It doesn't bother me In the loast whether
I herir their cases or not; In fact, it only
makes my Job easier.
"It gives me a chance to sleep until 0
o'clock, Instead of getting up at 7. I nm
not surprised at anything which may
come from thnt district; they have been
at It for two months now. I don't know
any reason for It. and I don't care any
how. It wouldn't surprise mo If thlB
action were due to nnother fool order
from the nireotor's office. This trouble
had Its origin from the telltales who are
constantly running to Porter, giving him
stories In the dark that would not stand
the light of day.
"When this Administration Is out, as
It will be In a short time, these same fel
lows will bo Just as anxious to kowtow
to the new Director, nnd will be breaking
their nooks to get In right ngaln. They
hro very sliorUIghted. They seem to
forget that there are other yenrs com
ing, when they will have a now Dlrcotor."

from various churches In the city In an

The Instructors were Harry 13. Paisley,
chairman of the Porsonal Workers' Com
rnltteet the4 RoVr John Wallaco Welsh,
assistant to "Billy" Sunday, nnd tho Rev.
E, H. Emettt ndvanco man for tho ovan
gcllsl.
Mr. Welsh told tho personal workers
thnt they- must bo careful of .th'elr late
gungo In ndilresslng the unchurched.
"Don't try to ho it William A. Sun
dny," ho Bald, "when talking to ono per
son. Don't call a man a lobster when
you are" making an- effort to win his bouI
to Christ. Leave that to tllo mnn on
tho platform. Go after him with u lov
Ing heart, and always remember that you
can catch moro files with molasses than
with vinegar. Any mnn who can sell
shoes, atbvcs, ot is any kind of n sales,
mnn at hll, can present tho gospel In n
mnnnor that will be effective."
Mr. Paisley said that the trouble with
most church workers was thnt they had
not "saddled up" to their duty In tho
matter of work among tho unchurched.
"Each personal worker," ho snld, "Is
to Invito tho unchurched and tho un
saved to their respective churches and
to tho tabcrnnchv You are not. to have
prolonged arguments with persons, nor
tiro you to distribute, literature
"You aro to recommend tho reading of
tho Blblo and you aro to suggest prayer
and faithful attendance to church and
tabornaclo services. Tho work should
continue In the churcheB after tho taber
nacle services are ovor. Neighborhoods
should bo canvassed and continued effort
mado to draw tho unsaved Into tho
churches.
WORK FOR CHURCH MEMBERS.
"Wo don't want any mombcr of any
church," said Mr. Emmet, "to think ho
Is exempt frbm personal work. I want
to Impress upon all church members that
every unchurched man, woman and child
Is a possible disciple of Jesus Christ.
If wo aro to win a big victory In Phila
delphia, every church member must be
come a personal worker.
"Two hundred thousand church people
In Philadelphia aro lined up for tills
campaign, and If every ono of them gets
out nnd does faithful personal work,
the crowds will be so Jargo that this
tabernacle will not be half largo enough
to accommodate them, 1 want porsonal
workers to pay particular nttentlon to
tho renr part ot the tabernacle. For
thero sit tho unchurched people and un
saved. In the front sit the church and
warmed-over Christians."

Scenes and Sayings Outside the Tabernacle Show" "Billy"
Sunday is the Home-run Baker of the Gospel.
The first to arrive this morning was
Henry Chubb, 1518 N,orth 24th street, a
former ship carpenter, but now one' of
the unemployed.
"'Billy' Sunday'B' all' right, take It
from me," he said. '-'Some may consider
him amusing, but you've got to use forco
to flslit .evil these days. I am nearly 70
years old. 1 was born In Boston. With
Doctor Eliot I believe wo need o, new
kind of religion. People worship the
almighty dollar too much these days.
'Billy' Sunday, with' hi forceful, and
von at times sensational, methods can
drive the truth home. He. hits the nail
on the head,"
"I was never much ot.a dreamer," said
n business man, "but I passed the taber
nacle on the car early this morning. I
must say that the building standing mas
sive, simple and white In the morning
