Mfh,
of tho nubllcntl
story nnd Mnyo'n picture In tho local
papers. She says sho at oiico recognized
Mnyo ns her husband, who had deserted
hfr nnd whom t)ho thought was dead.
.Mrs. Mayo kept her story secret until
th'B morning, when dispatches from New
Haven were read to her. In these Mayo
declared his first wlfo hud obtained a di
vorce from him anjl that ho had "abun
dantly provided" tor her support and that
of his dnughtcrs. Mrs. Mayo then told
her story.
"He never gnvc mo a cent," said Mrs.
Mayo, indignantly. "Ho cruelly deserted
mo nnd my threo girls, leaving mo to
make my living tho best I could. Ho was
poor then, only an electrical engineer, but
1 seo now that ho Is wealthy "
Mrs. Mayo has been employed here re
cently as a floorwalker 111 tho Globe store.
Previoutly, for 13 years, sho was cm
ployed at the International Correspond
ence Schoots, where her threo daughters,
Carlottn, 2.1 years old, and Dorothy nnd
Marlon, 21 and IS years respectively, also
are employed.
"I cannot tell much about It now," said
Mrs. Mayo, this morning, tears In her
eyes. "I am acting on the advice of
counsel. I can say, however, that I mar
ried Mr. Mayo In Illnghamton, N. Y., and
lived with him for nlno years, off and on.
He abandoned mo repeatedly for other
women. I did tho best I could to mnko
a homo for him, but even in tnoeo nays
ho was nccoustomed to disappear for
months at a time and I always found
that somo other woman was connected
with his disappearance. Finally It got
so that I had to protect myself nnd girls.
Wo were destitute. So I went to Hazle
ton 15 years ago nnd, lived there with my
parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. B. Weeks. When
they died a few months nfter I went to
live with them. I cumc back to Scranton,
my native town, where I had friends and
knew that I could get employment.
About nine years ago a former friend told
mo that my husband was dead. I had
not heard from him up to that tlmo
slnco the day ho deserted mo. I knew
nothing of his r'se to wealth."
Mrs, Mayo would not tell of her meet
ing with Mayo or go Into further do
tafls ns to hor experiences. She has
Jived hero at S18 Sunset avenue, In tho
exclusive Green Rldgo section, and, with
her daughters, has borne a flawless repu-
tuiiun, moving in mo ucst society. De
spite her ago nnd her snow-white hair,
Mrs. Mayo Is still attractive In appear
ance. Her daughters arc rcmarkablo for
their beauty.
Mrs. Mayo Intimated that sho would
take legal steps to compel Mayo to sup
port herself and children nnd to make
amends for alleged past neglect. She 13
listed In the directory as ".Mrs. Florence
Maio, widow of Vlrginlus."
.1 CHANGE IN POLICY.
Now n cltnugn has come. Notes' nro
couched in the plnln, peremptory lan
guage that Is not capable of misconstruc
tion or of misconception. For the first
tlmo slnco Huerta was tho subject of tho
correspondence, It has been pointed out
that tho United Stales Is prepared to raise
thu question of porsonal responsibility nnd
demand personal punishment ir Its wishes
nro dlsregnrded.
Tho ,,'realdc"1 ntul his advisers believe
tills will servo Its nurnosn. Kn Intiw n it

Them in grief In many homes In tho
10th Wnrd today. "Charlie" Qnlgtcy, as
sistant clerk to Common Council, died
this morning. Ho was known ns tho
"man with tho glad hand and a. smile,"
and tho hand, many will tell you, went
down In his pocket quickly when a "down
and outer" needed a real friend.
When news of his dcnlll from pneu
monla at St. Mary's Hospital was flashed
around tho ward. It camo as a heavy
blow, for Qulgley seemed to belong to tho
ward as far back as oldest residents can
remember.
Ho war nhvnyw on the firing lino for tho
faithful Organization man, nnd at the
hearings In the 6th District station house,
11th and Winter streets, he never hesi
tated to use his influence to get a fellow
another chance if his misdeeds wero not
serious. A friendly nod of tho head from
Charlie whb a quick nnd conclusive ar

Business Men's Committee which was
Instrumental In bringing the Army-Navy
football game to this city last fall.
"This organization," ho said, "will do
ever thing In Its power to have .a stadium
built."
The park site Is north of tho Pennsyl
vnnia Itallroad tracks and 100 yards from
tho river hank. It lies between these
tracks and tho Reading Railway tracks.
Ofllcials of both railways have said that
they will build stations at the stadium
if It is elected.
"A stadium there," ealr Mr. Berlct,
"would mnko this city the ccntro of tho
athletic activities of tho entire nation."
APPRAISAL OF KinKBItlDHS.
Purchnse of tho other favorablo slto,
Klrkbrlde's, has been under consideration
by the city for somu tlmo. A committee
of appraisers appointed by Select Council,
headed by Edward H. Bonsall, fixed
J1.M0.000 as an estimate of tho vnlue of
tho land and equipment of tho hospital.
The trustees of tho institution, though
fixing no price, hold that this estimate is
too low, and a conferenco between them
nnd a special commltteo of Select Coun
cil will bo held on Friday.
A natural depression at 46th street
would be tho logical placo for erecting 11
stadium IT tho city should buy Klrk
brlde's nnd should select it ns tho Bito
for tho "bowl."
In tho event of purchase. It Is proposed
to cut streets through tho 100 acres In
tho plot, thus opening up a section of
West Philadelphia which has been ham
pered In Its dovelopmcnt by the "Chinese
Willi" of the hospital. A new epoch in
the development of that section of the
city would bo Inaugurated by this pro
posal, It is behoved.
TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES.
Transportation facilities aro favorable
to the stadium plan, with tho elevated
railroad on Market street, surface-subway
cars on Havcrford avenue nnd tho prox
imity of Pennsylvania Railroad linCB.
Tho Importance of the games to a city
Is evidenced by tho concern of Berlin
over losing tlie fraiichlso to hold th
19 IG events which was taken away from
the German capital yesterday. Since 1913
the city has completed a superb stadium
with nppronches and parks, hotels and
restaurants, while the city of Berlin lias
extended Its suburban railway system to
add to tho transportation facilities.
Tho program for the games next year
in this country will include all events
voted In tho Olympic Congress, held In
Paris In 1013.
or 33 years Qulgley lived nt Sfi North
Mnrvino street, which is In tho 7th di
vision. But ho was equally well known
In every nook and corner of tho ward, for
ho had been In politics ever since ho was
21. In tho old dnys ho was n sturdy cham
pion of William n. Leeds, and with tho
death of tho former leader allied himself
with the forces of "Jim" McNIchol. He
wus a vractlcal politician, and to remind
his friends thnt he remembered them fre
quently issued calendars bearing his pic
ture As a rcwurd for fnlthful scrvlco ho was
always tokon caro of In tho way of sub
stantl&l Jobs, Betoro ho became con
nected with Corv.non Council, 13 years
ago, Qulgley held olllco In tho Bureau or
Health, Hecordor of Deeds' Offlco and
tho Burcnu of Highways. Jt was known
that lie could always get results In his
division and in many outsldo of It. And
any ono In the 10th Ward will tell you
that Charlie's hold on tho people was not
all duo to political pull, for ho hail a sin
cere manner about him which clinched
followers better than any other Influence.
Qulgley suffered from a complication
of diseases, which cniiBed his removal
to the hospital two weeks ago. Pneu
monia developed two days ago, which
hnstciicd tho end. It Is believed by I1I.1
friends at City Hall that Qulglcy'a ex-
posuio to tho weather on New Year's Day
aggravated his condition. Ho was dork
of Councils' New Ycnr Committee, and
In thnt capacity van obliged to be In
tho streets during tho mummern' parade.
"Charllo" would havo been 03 years old
on St Patrick's Day. Ho is survived by
his widow, Mrs. Mnry Qulgley. Tho
funeral, whlrh will bo Inrgcly attended,
may tnko plnco on Monday.
They wonder why tho Organizations
so strong," 'said a lesidcnt of tho Ten
derloin today. "I'll tell you: It's because
they have such good fellono as Charllo
Qulgley, who was alwaya ready to get;
n feller out 0' troublo or buy him a meal
without askln' questions. That's why wo
vote his ticket, that's why wo vofo for
men wo know nro no good, because

to."
Qiilgley's death Is tho second to take
place in Councils during tho Inst two
months. On January 17, William J. Mllll

Ail acrobatic thief, who hangs upside
down from housetops unci steals upper
sections of waterspouts, has caused the
police, of Germantown much anxiety.
Many yards of valuable copper spouting
hus disappeared from n number of fash
ionable homes, and as the roofs have a
perilous slant, it seems almost impossible
for any one to opeiate on them In the
darkness and quickly detach the metal.
Two or three Germantown sleuths, whu
havo been investigating the matter, said
they know that tho thief curried a col
lapsible rope ladder wrapped about him.
This ladder, according to one detective,
has two hooks on one end. The thief, in
some unknown manner, fastens It to tho
roof and stands on It while he unfastens
the spout. He carries the spout to tho
ground, pulls the ladder lifter him and
then makes off with tirt metal.
Policeman I'ohr, who Is taking a groat
Interest in the spout robberies, saw a
needy-looking man watching several roofs
suspiciously. Ha took him to the Ger
ms nt own station. There was a gasp of
astonishment when a large piece of cop
per was taken from the man's coat pocket.
The prisoner lga,ve his name as John
IlolllncB, of Hatlmc-r. On being charged
with the spaHt rebbtrles. he Inststad that
the police gummon a roofer to w if the
coppr was part of a eiuiut. A roofer
whu saw the i-oppr wlil that It could
not be used for spouting.

was 4lKcharBel by Magistrate Pennock.

Dny bcfoie yesterday Philadelphia was
a normal Anicilcnn city of tho first class,
pursuing uninterruptedly tho even tenor
of lis way. Today It Is locked nnd
shaken by a discussion that, creeping
upon It llko a thief? In the night, bids fnlr
to grow Into proportions tho end of
which no man Is bold enough to foretell.
All this over tho why, t'no how, tho
when nnd the where of the Jitney bus.
It Is tho causo of an opinion handed
down by City Solicitor Ryan: It Is tho
subject of legislation Introduced boforo
tho powors thnt be at Harrlsburg; It has
hoon mnntlnned as tho solution of all tho
city's transit troubles! II Is being dls
ciirflfd In the home, on tho street nnd In
tho office, nnd, finally, it hns tho toxlcab
Interests trembling In their shoes and tho
P It T. lvlng low In npprehetiBlvo silence.
PLANS TO OPERATE 10 CAI1S.
And In tho meantime P. W. Hambright,
2025 Norrls street, tho pioneer Jltnoy Jockey
In Philadelphia, Is piloting his dlmlnutvo
bus uninterruptedly UP Brood street to
Dlnmond and buck to City Hall nnd
pocketing nt the close of tho day a neat
little oroflt ot W or more. If his plans
go light, 10 moro ot tho "Blockley lim
ousines" ho hns bought will bo put In
operation as sooiflns they arrive In Phila
delphia. The main argument now seems to bo
over tho legality of tho buses. By sonic
It Is pointed out that tho franchises ot
the P. R. T. permit tho company tho ex
clusive right to operate over specified
routes. To offset this contention nro tho
sightseeing buses, wlilcli opernto over
definite routes, havo no franchise nnd
pny no additional license other thnn tho
ono required by the Stato for nny motor
driven vehicle.
Further thnn this, tho nutomohllo law
passed In 1911 distinctly stnles that no ad
ditional tax can be Imposed on a motor-
driven -vehicle other than tho fee re
quired for tho State license.
i'ho Stato Legislature is preparing a
rocky rond for tho Jitney bus to travel hi
Pennsylvania. Under the provisions of n
bill Introduced In tho Scnnto today by
Senator Edwnrd W. Patton, of Phila
delphia, every Jltnoy bus that might
operato in nny city In tho Stato would
bo licensed and under tho supcivlsion of
tho city authorities.
The tilll gives tho Philadelphia City
Councils and tho City Councils nnd
commissions In cities of the second and
third class authority lo llccnso all buses
that operate on the city streets. It also
gives the city authorities tho light to
revoke tho licenses whenever they dc
Birc. TJio measure was drafted before thi
first Jitney bus in Pennsylvania, ap
peared on tho streets ot this city last
Monday. It hits tho automobile lines
that havo been proposed to relievo tho
transit situation here.
Senator Patton todny said that ho has
had tho bill In mind for n long time, but
that tho appearanco of tho first Jitney
bus caused him to Introduce the measure
at once
"There will soon bp several hundred of
these busc3 operating In tho cities of tho
Stute," ho continued. "Buses of any
sort should not be permitted to run
around the streets without somo sort of
regulation by tho city authorities."
The difficulty Is that nobody Is qulto
clear along Just what lines the Jitney
business will dovelop In Philadelphia.
Whllo It Is most profitable and convenient
to operate the cars over a given route,
many of tho little carriers In Western
cities follow io definite lino of travel,
but scoof about hither and thither, pick
ing up passengers whero they enn nnd un
loading at any destination desired.
It would be possible, perhaps, to regu
late under tho present laws those Jitney3
that operato over a stipulated route; but
to restrict or license, especially the go-whcre-they-plcaBO
variety, tho State au
tomobile law would have to bo amended
or a row ono passed, according to numer
ous legal authorities.
In some form or other It seoms likely,
however, that the Jitney bus will become
an Institution In Philadelphia.. It appeals
Rtronclv to the man in the street nnd
thoso who with limited pocketbooks still
can enjoy and utilize advantageously
quick transportation.

"The Cupid of the Ghetto: or. Why

watching with breathless Interest.
The climax of the romance camo when
Itabbl Jacob Barman, 264 South 3d
street, known to all the orth'odoic Jews
In the vicinity as one of the moat suc
cessful "schatchens," or matchmakers,
Philadelphia has ever had, brought suit
against Albert Llchtensteln, a prosperous
dry goods merchant, 07 South 2d street,
for (300 due him for bringing about the
engagement of Sarah Goldman and Llch
tensteln. N
Sarah Is young, plump, well-educated
and good to look upon. Moreover, wlien
Bhe becomes Mrs. A. Llchtensteln she
will bring with her a dowry of 8000. Her
newly acquired fiance Is neither so young
nor so good to look upon, but like Sarah,
he too is rich, and, therefore, as things
go on South 2d street, the match is a
good one.
"Llchtensteln would marry me If I
didn't have a cent," the girl explained
proudly, seated In her father's shoe store,
this morning, "but I happen to have a
dowry, and so much the better. Jewish
parents, you know, live only for their
children, and I am an only daughter. As
for this Barman, I do not know him. I
only know that my mother has had to
chase him out ot here many times. Lota
of these matchmakers have been after
me, but I ,do not need them. I have known
Llohtensteln slnco I was four years old.
Barman was not neceesary to Introduce
us."
In his dry goods shop Llchtensteln,
who was inclined to. be uncommunica
tive, characterised 'the match-making
rabbi's activities as "pure black-mall-latu
tut beyond that he would say
Mutuas junner.

wujwj an oja ueorew cuaioms ere $.
Ing Into a sad Btate, indeed, when a
young' man will conic to her father to
get him a nice girl, nnd then not pay up
when tho deal Is effected,
"They didn't oven Invito him to the
engagement part," she said Indignantly,
"because they were ashamed that It 'nad
to be a mado match, That's the notion
that theso young girls get when they
are raised In America, though I feel
really sorry for Miss aoldman," she
added, "getting such n mean man s
won't pay up .when things havo been
fixed for him."
According to Mrs. Berpian. Llchten
steln promised Rabbi Berman p for ar
ranging things Furthermore, Samuel
Goldman, tho girl's father, offered to add
J2W, such waB the anxiety that the pros
perous house, of Llchtensteln ba united
with the flourishing house of Goldman,
but thus for all that Bermnn ha3 been
able lo collect has been 50 from Papa
uoiuman.
"JUST LIKB HIGH SOCIBTV."
"Llchtensteln is getting a good girl, but
he wouldn't have married her without
a dowry," Mrs. Berman went on o say.
What's more, he wouldn't have taken her
with J6000. ile wanted 110,000. Maybe
he's only gottlng $8000, but I've heard it
was more. You seo It's Just like high
society down here, after nil. How dq
jour rich, swell girls, oven If they are
good looking, set their lords? By par
imlnlfig and dlckerln. It's Just like that
here.
"Father has to work hard to get the
right girls hitched up with the right
men. Sometimes a, girl Is ugly and yet
she will want a doctor, nilnd, an educated
dootor. Then father will have to hustle
round and get her one. Blaype if lt
wasn't for him she'd never get a. husband
Of course he's got to be paid for It'
That's how ho earns Ms living."
