YARES WOULD MPE
OUT MAGISTRATES
AND GRADE TAXES
Administration Expected to
Back Plan for State Con
vention to Decide Several
Big Issues.
tmo i sTrr cotsro.BtNT.l
HARRlSBURG, Jan. 20 -The Brum
baugh administration Is believed to bo
behind a resolution which Clint-tea J.
Iloriey, Jr , of Philadelphia, will Introduco
In the House within the next few weeks
providing for the calling of r Constitu
tional Convention. The hand of Francis
Bliunk Brown Is Seen In the draft of the
pr .gram for this convention, now being
ptep&red. This fact, together with the
fact that Roncy Is a Vare man, virtually
places the administration behind the plan.
The program for the proposed conven
tion piovldes for these vital changes In
the present constitution:
graded sstem of taxation to Increase
the State revenue.
Home rule for cities of tho first, second
and third classes.
A method to more easily revise the fun
damental election laws.
Reorganization of the State J'idlclary,
abolishing tho magistrates' courts and
providing for consolidated Common Plcus
Courts In IB districts Into which the State
Would be divided.
Increased! powers for the Attorney Gen
eral. nnowx's taxation plan.
The graduated system of taxation and
the scheme for reorganizing tho Judiciary
of Pennsylvania are Francis Shunk
Brawn's own Ideas, which he has fre
quently urged. The part of tho plan
which provides for making the power of
the Attorney General more direct and for
tncrcnBtiig Its scope also indicates that
the, nowly-appolnted Attorney General Is
behind the plan.
TJh plan for a svstem of graduated
taxes would do awny with the present
svstem ,of equalized taxation, and would
place a heavy levy on many of the Statu
taxables and materially reduce It on oth
ers, all with a view to Increasing the State
revenue without further Increasing the
taxes of the small householder.
Tho Vares are behind tho part of the
program which provides for home rule.
Governor Brumbaugh also Is expected to
favor It During the campaign and since
his election ho has frequently declared
in favor of cities determining for them
eelves what they want, and of cities
being able to obtain the Improvements
they want wnnt without asking the per
mission of presons who do not reside In
the city Interested.
ADVANTAGE FOR VARES.
No details have as yet been discussed
for revising the fundamental election
laws but the Idea Is a part of tho pro
posed program.
The Vares would gain another advan
tage over McNIcl""' If the Magistrates'
courts were abolished, since Senator Mc
Nlohol controls most of tho Philadelphia
Magistrates, and they form a strong part
of his political machine.
They would also gain strength through
out the State through a Judiciary reap
portionment. Under the proposed plan
for redisricting the State would be di
vided Into 16 judiciary districts, with tho
Common Pleas Courts consolidated In
each and with one President Judge In
each district
It the scheme to Increase the powers
of the Attorney General Is carried out
the Vares will become much stronger and
will have a far greater Influence on all
State legislation than they have at
present.
U.S. MUST BRING
JOB TO WORKER,
SAYS BIG BANKER
Head of Huhn,' Loeb & Co.
Declares Government
Must Solve Problem of
Unemployed.
By JOHN EDWIN NEVIN
NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-"The United
Stales Government must bring the worker
and the Job together."
This (s the solution for the great prob
lem of the unemployed In the opinion of
Jacob II. Schlff, master banker and head
of the firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.
Testifying before the Federal Commis
sion on Industrial Relations today, Schlff
declared the labor unions of the country
will fare far better with the large cor
poration than they will with the small
employer. He placed the seal of his
own approval on the question of unionism.
And he emphatically declared that no
self-respecting manager of a corporation
will consent to the creation of a blacklist-
He Instated, however, that the blr
problem facing the United States Is that
of the unemployed. He declared It wa
tho duty of the Federal Government to
solve it, as private Individuals hare failed
ntlrely
In Schlff's opinion, the day whan great
corporations can defy publla opinion has
passed. When abuses are not corrected,
he said, by the corporations themselves
under the whip of publla opinion, then
that publla opinion usually crystallizes
Into legislation which corrects these
b&se?.
Asked , point blank, if publla opinion
' wa such a corrective, the mlno owners
of Colorado have so defied It, he de
elsftsdi In my opinion the last word in Colo
rado has not yet been written."
Schlff took issue squarely with Samuel
Unterinyer's claim that two great groups
of New York bankers dominate the great
railroad systems of the country, declar
ing it "sher nonsense."
Professor Jacob II. Hollander, of Johtu
liopklna University. Baltimore, told the
Commission that industrial unrest is due,
entirely tQ poverty and not to pauperism.
'This la not the consequsnee of the
laJ( of wealth," he said, "or of lnaufrw
atiwt production, but is due entirely to
fmrap? distribution. Trades unionism
is fry decIrablo corrective, but it is
Sy no means a panacea,"

State Department Sanctions
Sailing of Cotton Ship De
spite Threatened Seizure
by British.
WASHINGTON, Jan. M. "I believe
that ncutinls have the right to purchase
vessels from belligerents, provided there
Is an nbsolutp and unclouded exchange of
title 1 am not Infotmo das to the facts
In th case of the Dacln, but this Is hto
law covering the purchnf,e of ships from
belligerents a I yndcrstand It "
Senator fctone, of Missouri, chairman of
tho Senate Committee on Foreign Rela
tions, today made this statement In Indi
cating his approval of the determination
of the Administration to fight Great Brit
ain's stand against the right to transfer
ships from German to American regis
try While tho question Is not officially be
fore the White House, it is understood
that President AVllson entirely approves
the course of the State Department In
urging the Balling of the Dacla, and Is
determined to fight for the principle In
volved. '
Solicitor Cone Johnson, of the State
Department, today stated that this Gov
ernment Is satisfied that tho transfer of
the Hamburg-American steamer Dacla
to the American flag was a genuine
transaction and that he believes the evi
dence upon this point to bo sufficiently
conclusive to warrant a pilze crew In
liberating the vessel.
I". X. Breitung, of New York, owner
of tho Dacla, was today advised that the
department would sanction tho departure
of the vessel with her cargo. Tho Dacia,
It was stated. Is now being prepared to
sail from Port Arthur, Tex., for Rotter
dam with 11,000 bales of cotton
BRITAIN TO DELAY REPLY
ON U. S. SHIP PROTEST
Globe Bitter on America's Attitude
in Dacia Case.
LONDON, Jan. 20 It was learned from
high authority today that the complete
British reply to tho United States' note
of protest against Interference with
American commerce will be delayed for
some time. This Information waa later
confirmed at the American Embassy.
Preparation for the final reply will re
quire several weeks, because It Is neces
sary to make Inquiries in various courses.
The Globe, which Is steadily Increasing
In bitterness In Its editorials ngalnst
America, Is further Inflamed today by the
announcement that the nteamshlp Dacla
will sail from Galveston despite the fact
that Great Britain has refused to abandon
its right of seizure on Its voyage to
Europe,
"President Wilson's honorable action,"
says the Globe, "shows that he has
courage to obey his conscience when ho
chooses, but his continued Inaction in
the present case shows we are forced to
conclude that the politics of 'buslneos'
may ba stronger still.
"In his dignified reply to the Hmperor
of Germany President Wilson said his
tory would pass Judgment upon the au
thors of the war. It may not be wholly
silent aa to the attitude of bystanders "

COUNCILS TO MAKE
FIGHT ON HOUSING
Continued from Page One
HaMon's court, but Is obviously relying
on tho delay tiiat an appeal to tho Su
preme Court would provide.
City Solicitor Ryan has already ex
pressed the opinion that the housing act
Is legal as it stands, hut that It Is dis
ci etlonnry with Councils when money
shall be appropriated for establishing the
division.
Select Councilman Edward Buchholz,
of the 19th Ward, a dual officeholder, be
ing also u real estate assessor at ?3000 a
year, said today that he made up his
mind months ago not to vote In favor of
appropriations for the new division.
"Judge Ralston Is a Bplendld gentle
man," he said, "but 1 do not believe I
can be compelled to be guided by his
decision when the matter, cornea up In
Councils."
"I will not vote In favor of any ap
propriations I do not wish It to appear
that I am disrespectful to Judge Ralston.
Too much has been said about this hous
ing code In the newspapers, qs well as
by housing experts. It Is Impossible to
Install bathtubs and toilets in some of
the present houses unless the owners
tear down their dwellings, Take some
of our poor people In the congested sec
tion I mean some of those poor devils
who Lome from Russia and other Euro
pean countries. They never had a bath
tub in their old country and they cer
tainly wouldn't know what to do with
ono if they had it In their tenements,"
Common Councilman John P. Connelly,
chairman of Councils' Finance Commit
tee, today refused to comment on Judge
Ralston's ordet
"Will you aa chairman of Councils'
Finance Committee obey Judge Ralston's
decision'"
"I have nothing to say," waa the reply.
The Rev. Dr. Edward Yates Hill, pastor
of the First Presbyterian Church, at
'Washington Square, who recently made
an Investigation of the housing conditions
In South Philadelphia, today discussed the
housing problem before the members of
tho Interchurch Federation at the Cen
tra! Branch of the Young Men's Christian
Association.
"This Is merely a further illustration
as to the high-handed methods of coun
cils In this city," aald Dr, Hill, when In
formed that several Councllmen, among
them Select Councilman Buchhols, were
not In favor of obeying Judge Ralston's
order.
Judge Ralston's decision was the result
of a. suit Instituted by the Philadelphia
Housing Commission In the name of the
Commonwealth. The Philadelphia Hous
ing Commission contended that the act
passed by the Legislature, which created
the nevv housing code, was legal and
should ba enforced. Judge Ralston agreed
on that point,

BAT CAUSES UPROAR

AT RUSSIAN FETE
Flying Mammal Draws At
tention of Fashionable
Audience From Remark
able Playing of Miss
Paparol.
One of the largest and most repiescnt
atlve audiences ever gathered together
for a charitable affair witnessed the Rus
sian fete last night In the Bellevue-Stratford
ballroom. It was an audience In
close harmony with the solemn and Im
pressive tone of tho entertainment given.
Just why, during the really rcmorkable
playing of the young Russian girl, Miss
Papai ol, on the violin, a diversion in the
form of a frightened, flving, fluttering bat
should have happened Into the sacred
precincts will never be divulged; but In It
came. Suddenly, aa MIa Paparol was
drawing the last exquisite strains from
her Instrument, theio appeared on the
celling of the room a winged thing which
every one fondly thought was a bird
Brought back by tho applause, the email
violinist and her professor were about
to give an encore when the dignified au
dience suddenly buret Into a dull toar.
Again remembering Ita manners, which
seemed badly lacking, self-control was
(brought Into play and a hush fell over
the assemblage. The strains of the en
core swept over the listening throng, as
did the bat. The bird flew over the boxes
with long, graceful swoops, until at last
Philadelphia society forgot Its breeding,
and, though MIbs Paparol played on with
great self-control, a strange thing hap
pened. Instead of the magnificently
gow ned and Jeweled women, with gem
set combs and various graceful head
dresses, first noticed during the evening,
rows and rows of veiled ladles were to be
seen.
At one moment George Dallas Dixon
rose from his seat and waved his cane
wildly In the air. In Mrs. William Kills
Scull's box were the Russian Ambassador
and his wife, Mrs. Bakhmetieff, who was
gowned In gold-shot white satin and wore
a tiara of diamonds and tops:, was
obliged to hold a program over her head,
and at the back of the boxes such social
leaders as Mrs. George "W, Chllds Drexel,
Mrs. Edward T. Stotesbury, Mrs, Corne
lius Stevenson, Mrs. Henry Brlnton Coxe,
Miss Constance Beale and Mrs. George
Willing, Jr, were to be aeen dodging and
ducking about, waving scarfs and emit
ting tiny shrieks. In the main part of
the ballroom all seemed to have "taken
the yell," metaphorically speaking. Beau
tiful Mrs. Forney, wife of Brigadier Gen
eral Forney, of this city, crouched down
upon the floor.
Faster and faster flew the bat, louder
and louder grew the shrieks of terror
and laughter, and, as If to add to the
excitement, the manipulator of the spot
light undertook to "spot" the Invader
Finally the small flying mammal lodged
In the ornamentation of the celling and
the audience, with a gentle sigh settled
back to see a beautiful Russian ballet
dance. But the bat was not yet satisfied,
and once more defied fate, this time
flying lower and loner As it seemed he
waa about to light on soma one's head,
he soared suddenly in the air and out In
the hallway. A gallant youth, Howard
Graham, in the box with Eckley B. Coxe.
Jr., rose to the occasion and quickly drew
the curtains, while attendants closed the
door.
The entertainment continued with un
ruffled dignity, though watching eyea

SECOND FAILURE
FOLLOWS THOMPSON
Continued from Pnge One
since he took hold Monday moining, and
with the additional powers of the le
ceivershlp expects to right the affairs of
the bank In short older.
T. I.. Khale, of Pittsburgh, one of
Thompson's counsel, made the assertion
today that the bank would be doing bus
iness ngaln within SO dns with Hie same
stuff of officers, Mr. IChale said:
"There Is nothing to prevent the i oil
summation of any contemplated coal land
deals or any otheis for that matter,
provided they get the sanction of the
court. The assignees will have the power
to order any public or private sales of
property, but will prevent any sacrifices
being made."
Mr. Kahle added that the coal land
deals negotiated by Mr. Thompson with
the Frlck concern tintl other big financial
Interests dining 1011 amounted to 7,000,000,
which had been pioperly applied.
BIG COAL. DEAL PENDING.
Deals are said to bo pending lu Greene
and Fayette Counties In which Thompson
will sell out some of his richest holdings,
sell them for a morn plttoncn, in order to
get funds to apply to the liquidation of
tho ptesout outstanding Indebtedness. It
Is said n deal is on whereby Thompson
will dispose of n huge 40,000-acre coal land
tract to an Eastern syndicate. R. B.
Mellon, a Pittsburgh associate of Thomp
son, said in this connection:
"Tho receivers for Thompson could pro
ceed with the negotiations for this and
other sales where they were left off by
Mr Thompson himself. It would be a
benefit to the Thompson creditors and
to Mr. Thompson himself. The receivers
appointed are excellent and practical men
and understand especially the coking the
coal properties, one of them being Mr.
Thompson's son, who has long been in
close touch with the affairs of the coal
land deal."

Sunday shouted so thnt his voice was re
echoed from the farthest corners of tho
great hall. "When the church member
quit pationlilrig theatres they'll either
clean up or go out of business. When
church members quit voting for the sa
loon the saloon will go to hell."
These were some of the hot shots he
poured Into the camp of "contented nnd
complaining chuicli members." And he
spaicd thp ministers not nt all, for ho
claimed mnny of them encourage such
practices by their silence. Hp made It
plain that he was not ngalnst the theatre

thnt he v.as ngalnst caul plavlnp and

The audience was enthusiastic when
"Billy" pounded the pulpit and tlnewhls
blows at It toila.
The evangelist seemed tlicd and his
volco was husky w lien he st.ti ted tn
speak, but In a fdioit time he hud vanned
up and wnt the sjino old "Blllv" and
preuohed one of tho strongest sninions of
his Philadelphia campaign.
Hundreds of women crocheted, knit,
sowed and even darned socks for thipo
and four hours today while seated on the
rough wooden scats of the "Billy" Sqn
dav tnbernncle waiting for the afternoon
services to begin,
"You can go to hell just as quick fiom
Hi? church pew ns from the dive oi Just

audience that filled the tabernacle, and
led S3" men nnd women down tho sawdust
trails to "glory row." With the 75 con

"tnll-hltters" at yesterday's meetings,
swelling the total number to S0,2.
"Gnd Commnndeth All Men to Repent"
was tho subject upon which "Billy" vva

person could go to Ilea en or escape tho
punishment!, of hell If they lefused to
repent of their sins.
"Joining tho church won't help ou, jou
miserable old sinners," cried Sunday. "If
vou don't repent ou are lost nnd vou will
go to hell. That's nil there 1b to It."
A large proportion of tho converts last

giasped tho evangelist's hand.
"What Is lepcntnnco-'" nsked the evan
gelist "Repentance Isn't Just being sony
for what you've done. Repentance isn't
Just promising to do better ! Hepentnnco
Is to stand bofoto God convicted In your
heai t of sin. Repentance is to fall on jour
knees and say to God, 'Oh, God, I'm going
to try to do right. Help me ! help mo 1' "
AGAIN ATTACKS MINISTERS.
Again he attacked the "tlckle-me-and-I'll-tlckle-you"
preachers, as ho called
them. "Oh, ou make a man feel HKu
God was stuck on him," ho snceied at
them, Bhaklng his fist the while. "You
call vice and the devil's sins by their light
names nnd jou'll lick 'cm every time.
People die of poison because tho bottles
uren't labeled right. Theio Isn't sucli
commandment in the Bible as 'Thous shalt
not commit affinity,' " ho Jibed. i
Death-bed repentances he scorned, de
clining. "There was only one ease of deathr
bed repentances lecouled lu the Good
Book. And that was the thief on tho
cross beside Jesus at Calvaty
"High-brows" and free-thinkers nil
came In for a share of his blows. "I
don't want to go in opposition to God
to die and gu to hell Just to find out
whether the flame's literal or not," ha
said.
NO MORE "SIDE TlllPS."
