still remain loyal to tho llepubllcan
portu"
"Woman suffrage will be one of
the greatest agencies for destroying

"I am opposed absolutely to the
construction of a loop in the cen

"The Philadelphia and Heading

M'NICHOL ASSERTION
RIDICULED BY MAYOR
"Will Have His Little Joke,"
Says Executive, Answering
Attack of Administration.
Mayor niankenburg today hrld u. to
rldlculo the statement made by Stato
Senator McNIchol last night, tlmt In splto
of the Blankehburg Administration C5
per cent, of the employes of the various
departments still remain loyal to tho
Itcpubllcan Organization. Loyalty to the
Organization, tho Mayor declared, Implies
tho eo-cnlled "voluntary contributions '
ftom the pay envclopcH and serfdom to
tho Interests of the leaders.
Senator McNIchol nmdo his attack on
the niankenburg administration In the
course of an nddress nt a dinner to Peter
E. Smith by the llcpubllcans of the 4ith
Ward. Threats and Intimidations, he said,
had been used In vnln by the reformer
to win tho allegiance of the city em
ployes. THE ilAYOIVS KEPL.Y.
Tho reply from the Mayor today fol
lows: "Mr. McNIchol will hnvo Ills little Joke.
as ho hail last nigm wnon no i"'"-'J
stated that OS per cent, of the policemen
and firemen arc loyal to the Organization
in spite of tho Blnnkcnburg administra
tion. "Loyal to the Organization! That
means loyal to Mr. McNMchol nnd all that
Implies, and not to the city of Philadel
phia. Comment Is hardly necessary. I
do not believe that n very considerable
percentage of policemen nnd firemen and
other city employes arc hankering to
again place the Organization yoke around
their necks. Arc they anxious again to
have tho opportunity submitting their pay
envelopes to the Organization leaders for
them to abstract "voluntary contribu
tions" before the pay envelopes arc taken
homo for their wives nnd children' They
have been emancipated from serfdom, and
will hardly want to bo enstaved ngaln by
an organization that serves its own In
terests nnd not those of the city.
ASSAILS VOTES FOR WOMEN'.
In tho course of his address at the
Smith dinner, nnd later speaking at a
banquet of the 21st Ward Board of Trade,
Senator McNIchol bitterly assailed wom
an suffrage as one of the greatest
agencies for destroying homo life and as
fundamentally opposed to the old Idea of
motherhood. Ho also explained why ho
had opposed the woman suffrage amend
ment at Harrlsburg.
'It woman suffrage becomes a reality."
he nsserted, 'thero will be u. destruction
of home llfo In Pennsylvania. This coun
try would he better off if we got back
to tho old Ideas of home llfo and mother
hood. I am opposed to woman suffrage,
both from my home graining and from
my own experience In my home."
Deviating from tho suffrage question,
the Senator attacked the Taylor transit
program, declaring himself opposed to
a central business delivery loop, a Dar
by elevated, nnd asserting that tho out
lying sections of tho city were not given
proper consideration under the Taylor
plans.
ASSURES COMPENSATION BILL.
After giving assurance that the work
Ingmen'o compensation bill and an equit
able child labor bill will be passed by the
Legislature, he launched Into an arraign
ment of the policy of carrying the morals
of tho community Into the Legislative
halls. This was taken to Indicate his
opposition to local option.
Congressman Wllllnm S. Vare, who waa
a speaker at tho dinner In honor of Mr.
Smith, prophesied the speedy return of
the Republican party to power and a new
era of nroeperity throughout the nation.
The election of a Republican Mayor In
Philadelphia next fall, he said, will ba
an Important step in this back-to-the-party
movement.
The dinner to Mr. Smith was held at
163) North Broad street. Other Bpeakera
there were Councilman Hutt, Magistrate
MorriB, Robert M. Griffith and Richard
Wegleln.
The banquet of the 21st Ward Board of
Trade was held at Woodvalo, Wlssa
hlckon. Other speakers there were Reg
ister of Wills Sheehan, Clinton Rogers
Woodruff and William S. Dixon, president
of the board.
Miss Emily P. Bissell Resigns
WILMINGTON. Del., March 26.-Mlss
Emily P. Bissell today resigned as a
member of the State Antl-tuberculosls
Commission and the Commission to Dec
orate the State House. Miss Bissell said
some time ago that If the Child Labor
Commission, of which she was a. member,
was abolished, she would consider her
work repudiated and would resign from
all the commissions of which she was
a member. Miss Btssll was the orig
inator of the famous Red Cross seal.
When any of the women around Del
grade and Somerset streets can't do any
thing with their children they go after
Tommy Keever, He can make a kid atop
crying "quick as a wink," the women folk
say, because he understands them.
It doesn't matter whether the child la a.
week or B years old, he has all kinds of
original methods for stopping the tear

queer-looking objects In his pockets, and
when he holds them before the eyes of a
squealing boy curiosity Is aroused and
thta Is usually followed by smiles and
When thbl method falls, Tommy takes
off his hat and stands on hi head. And
the fact that he'fl 0 years old doesn't In
terfere. He was trying to drive away the gloom
or a crying youngster In this fashion
when he was arrested by Policeman
Bums. Incidentally Tommy admitted that
he had been "having a few."
When Keever was brought before Mag
titrate Glenn at the Uh and York streets
station, Burns said he merely arrested the
prisoner for his own, safety. He alio de
clared tbat Tommy was known as the
"children's friend." It was shown thst

SPANISH COMMISSION
TO STUDY TRADE HERE
Delegates Appointed by Al
phonso to Open Commercial
Relations With U. S.
Six prominent Spaniards, members of a
special commission appointed by King Al-
phonso to formulate plnns for opening
new trade connections with the United
States, which were severed by the Spanish-American
war, reached Philadelphia
this morning and were met by representa
tives of tho Commercial Museum, 32d and
Spruce streets.
During their tour, the commissioners
visited many Industrial centres and will
make a full study of commercial affairs
and of many kinds of public works. These
commissioners are Don Joso do Goros
tlzaga, special commercial delegate; Don
Jose Gonzales, representing large Spanish
concerns; Don Enrlquo Goded, concerned
with hydro-electric and mining enter
prises; Don Ramon Burrillo, Irrigation;
Don Mariano Fernandez-Toral. railroads;
Don Antonio Artlles. engineer of publlo
works of Las Pnlmas, Canary Islands, In
terested In port'fconstnfctlon.
Don Jose do Gorostlzaga Is especially
commissioned to study and promote tho
export trade of Spain and tho United
States. He has brought samples of Span
ish products, which will soon be placed on
exhibition at tho Philadelphia Commer
cial Museums.
Joso de Gorostlzaga, chairman of the
committee, said this afternoon:
"Spain has not been heretofore a great
manufacturing country. It has Imported
goods from other countries, many of them
now at war. As a result. Spain cannot
now obtain these goods nor has It the
facilities for manufacturing them. It 1
natural, then, that the progressive ele
ment of our country should turn to tho
United States an the only great manu
facturing country not encased In war
fare which can adequately meet tho situa
tion. "Spain hopes to obtain nil kinds of
manufactured goods and great quantities
of machinery. It will develop roads,
mines and every phase of Industrial
activity possible, nnd It Is our purpose
to further these Ideas during our four
months' stay In tbla country."
It Is probablo that the commissioners
will call on the Spanish Consul this after
noon. They were entertained at luncheon
at the museum by Dr. W. I'. Wilson,
Wilfred II. Schoff and other officials.
Details concerning the exhibits were ex
plained by J. J, Bayrasso, an interpreter.
Want Toll Roads Abolished
The Highland Park Improvement Asso
ciation has Joined with suburban resi
dents who live near the West Chester
pike In fighting for the abolition of toll
stations along that road. They have en
listed the aid of Senator William C.
Sproul, and are preparing a petition to
be sent to Governor Brumbaugh, calling
his attention to the conditions that now
exist In that section. Those Interested
In the movement Bay toll roads are a
menace to the growth of any community,
and travel along the AVest Chester pike
in particular Is much Impeded, owing to
the short distances between the stations.

$50,000 TO SPEND ON USEFUL
MEMORIAL; DOESN'T KNOW HOW
Evening Ledger Eeaders Asked for Suggestions Mayor
and Socialist Writer Give Their Views as
to Feasible Projects.
"How would you spend 30.000 for a
memorial?"
Tills question has been nsked of the
EvrJNiNti I.EDGEn by n subscriber who de
sires the opinion of fellow readers ns to
what form a memorial should tako In
order to provide, with tho sum named,
tho greatest posslblo benefits to mankind
while yet perpetuating tho names of de
parted ones. It is easy to put $50,000 In n
monument of stone and bronze, but It Is
nnothcr matter to devise plans for a last
ing memorial whereby one's fellow crea
tures will be btmfltod for all time.
The request for information on tills In
teresting subject was contained In an
anonymous letter, which rends ns follows:
"nvRNiNO LEnonn, Philadelphia.
Gentlemen Would some of your
rcadciB suggest through the vnlticd
columns of your paper a good way to
dispose of about fifty thousand (50,
000), in n lump sum as a tasting
memorial to departed ones (Jewish
preferred). By giving this a prominent
spaco in your paper nt an early dnto
you will confer a very great favor on
a subscriber of tho Evenino Ledoek
since Its publication."
The Uvf.ning I.EDOEn. has asked the
question of a number of piomlnent men
and women who are leaders In tho com
mercial. Industrial, financial, political nnd
social life of tho city. In each enso the
question was put direct and tho reply was
Invariably the plan suggested to tho per
son's mind ns tho result of many yean.'
experience in some particular walk of
life.
Mayor Itudolph Blankenburg was asked
to answer the letter.
"How would I spend JJO.000 In a memo
rial?" said tho Mayor. "I would anolv
It so as to aid tho coming generations to
get a good start in life. I am not much
of a believer In brick and mortar. A
building erected for any purposo may In
time be replnccd or It may burn down
or some other unforeseen contingencies
may arise In years to came which would
mean the enrl of tho memorial.
"There are several worthy charities In
this city which have been organized for
the express purposo of assisting tho chil
dren of tho poor, and $50,000 placed In
trust for them would bn tho means of
helping many a child along the road to
success and happiness, I would consider
tho endowment of one of these Institutions
the best posslblo way that I could estab
lish a lasting memorial. I would creato
a trust nnd place the money in the care
of the Board of City Trusts with absolute
power to distribute tho Interest annually
to tho beneficiaries,
"This is exactly the way In which I
expect to apply some of my own money
bofore I am through with this world.
Personally I prefer the Children's Aid
Society.
"It Is a splendid Institution and the
funda expended by It brighten the lives
of thousands of poor children annually.
The Children's Country Week Association
Is another worthy organization which
would return such a gift a hundredfold
In molding the character and shaping the
lives of many future citizens.
"And there Is the Teachers' Annuity
Fund, the good of which cannot be over
estimated. The teachers of our public
schools exert a tremendous Influence upon
the lives of our children and they should
havjs every encouragement and assistance
from us. They nro underpaid and often
overburdened with responsibility,
"fUl of these institutions are a credit to
our city and they are deserving of our
unstinted support. All can use more
money and a memorial created by the
endowment of one or more of them would
redound to the credit of the donor for
ever," Charles W. Ervln, national committee
man of the Socialist party, writer nnd
lecturer op social and economic subjects:
"If I had $50,001) to spend for a me
morial I would endow a public forum
with a chair of economic facts for the
purpose of showing the people the Im
portance of getting facts upon whlcft to
form their thoughts. I would provide for
the dissemination of knowledge concern
ing the great vital questions which affect
the dallly life of the people the struggle
for food, shelter and clothing.
"Mankind has only one tyrant It is
not a king nor ruling class. It is igno
rance. By this I do not mean lack of edu
cation. Education is not necessarily
knowledge, but it may be and often is
the most dangerous kind of ignorance
educated Ignorance.
"Tnls Is particularly true regarding
that which we are pleased to term eco
nomics, which merely deals with the way
In which we obtain the necessities of life.
I would have the people taught facta and
trust them to make their own deductions,
from whlCn they would act I would have
po special pleaders Xor any particular
'ism' as a remedy for the ills from which
the people suffer, but a recital of the
facts in such matters as child labor,
long workdays and occupational diseases.
"There Is practically po liberty of teach
Ing, Jp, the true senie of the word, in any
endowed institution, except in archaeology
and $hs dead languages. Professor can
be as mJ(s1 a they want on ium(e

nnd cunifonn Inscriptions, but they hava
to bo very careful about making nny so
called radical statement In regard to those
things which vitally affect tho people. Tho
few professors who fall to understand tho
limits set for them are generally trans
lated to another nnd not nlways hotter
world, or their promotions interfered
with.
"Tho greatest former of public opinion
In tho world Is tho newspaper. Every
body reads one, whllo only 20 per cent, ot
tho people read books. Whether tho pub
lic opinion formed by tho newspapers ih
for good or evil depends entirely upon
whether the newspapers print facts.
"In what better way. then, could money
bo spent? What better form could a
memorial tako than a lasting sourco of
true knowledge whereby tho people could
mako a scientific study of tho dlfllcultlcs
under which they live, and devlso means
for their correction?"

much relieved this morning when In
formed that the corpse bearing tho mystic
sign of their society found yesterday In
the dissecting room of tho Itobert Haro
Laboratory, at the University of Penn
sylvania, had been Identified ns that of
Charles E. Matheu, a laborer, -who died
on March S, 1911, of pneumonia nt tho
Philadelphia General Hospital.
Dr. A. Ilewson, executive head of tho
State Anatomical Board, and himself a
member of thp Phi Kappa Sigma Frater
nity, said today that tho affair wus a
"colossal fiame-up to discredit dissection
a fake, pure and simple," nnd nsserted
that It had been planned either by an
undertaker or nn employe of a coroner's
office. Ho further explained. that thero
aro bills now pending before tho Stato
Legislature which will, If passed, prevent
medical schools from getting n single body
for dissection.
Undertakers, according to Doctor Ilew
Bon, aro doing everything In their power
to create a popular sentiment ngalnst
dissection In order to facilitate the pas.
sago of tho bills, for they receive $7 or $8
for each body burled, tho fees being paid
by tho State. Practically every unclaimed
body will fall Into their hands If tho
bills go through the Legislature.
THIRD SNOW; BLISS GLUM;
MOKEMACHER EATS ONIONS
Flakes Fell This Morning and a Resident of Nor
wood Corroborates Andalusia Prophet,
Who Has Forecaster's Number.
Old Simeon II. Mokemacher was so glad
early this morning when he saw snow
flakes falling that he picked up the
largest nnlon In his hidden garden patch
near Andalusia, Pa., gazed at It lovingly
and then bit It In two,
"There, yllttle devil," he said. "You
will wave your bristles In my face when
I come along and tell you it's snowed
three times and there won't be any more
snow this winter. You will, will you?
Well, you won't,"
Citizens of Philadelphia suburbs cor
roborated Mokemacher's statement that
his third snowstorm came early today.
One of his backers la Frank Sparks, of
Norwood, which isn't anywhere near An
dalusia. "I don't believe that fclIowMokemach
er has grown onions with hair on them,"
said Mr. Sparks today, "but he cer
tainly has some method ot finding out
bow many times It's going to snow. I
saw the flakes today myself."
When this message was repeated to
Mokemacber, be merely chuckled, "Whad
do I caret" he asked. "The little onions
bristle and tha snow (lakes drop, now
that all the snow Is down roe onion balr
will stop. And since the last time I was
talking to you 1'vo made certain of the
relation between human beings wnd
onions,"

Church Leaders, Anti-Saloon
Chief and Governor Act With
Decision.
Plnns wero perfected todny for a per
manent organization to fight against the
snlo of liquor In Philadelphia, at n con
ference between temperance leaders and
Dr. Homer W. Tope, superintendent of
th Anti-Saloon League.
Through tho co-operating churches, "It
Is tho plnn to have ono man appointed
to have chargo of tho cnmpnlgn ngalnst
tha stiloon In ench election precinct.
Should Governor Brumbaugh's local op
tion bill pass tho House and becomo a
law, theso precinct leaders will direct
their efforts to havo men vote against
tho liquor traffic nt a special election.
If tho bill does not becomo a law,
theso workers will organize precinct
committooH to uso their Influence to
elect to the noxt Legislature mon whom
they can depend upon to vote for a
locnl option hill two years hence. "
Doctor Tope i3 hopeful that tho Gov
ernor's bill will carry and thnt the
people of Philadelphia can he aroused
to concerted nctlon that will pluco
Philadelphia In tho "dry" column In tho
early future. However, ho says, the
tho temperance forces do not intend
to remain idlo nnd unprepared while
thoy wait to seo what tho legislators
do with tho hill. Thoy aro going1 to
proparo to Htrllto a telling blow Im
mediately after tho vote Is taken.
Many churches throughout tho city
havo appointed committees to co-operate
In tho work that Is planned cither to
volo out tho Haloon or to vote out tho
men who fall to glvo tho people a chance
to say whether or not liquor shall be
bold In Philadelphia. A mass meeting of
nil tlicso forces will be held In the early
future, when deflnlto plans will bo out
lined. KOUOERY IN GERMANTOWN
Thieves Steal Jewelry Worth $500
From Homo of William J. Wall.
Thieves forced tholr wny Into the home
of William J. Wall, C619 McMahon ave
nue, Germnntown, Inst night, and after
quieting "Blx," an alredalo terrier, whlcVi
had been left to guard tho house, car
ried off Jewelry valued nt $500. Police
of tho Germantown station, to whom the
robbery was reported, made a search of
tho entire neighborhood following the dis
covery of tho robbery, but no trace of
the thieves could be found.
Mr. 'Wall, who Is one of tha proprietors
of tho Nlcetnwn Dye and Bleach Works,
B and Westmoreland streets, and his
family wero out on a visit until shortly
after midnight. Upon their return an In
vestigation showed that the thieves had
"Jimmied" the front window on the Drat
floor.
I? But you can rest assured, young man,
that there Is o, relation. Otherwlso ,the
onions would have hair on their heads.
The other proof Is that when you
frighten a man his balr stands on end.
So does an onlon's-a trained, highly de
veloped onion like mine."
Mokemacher declared that he was first
aroused this morning by the rustling of
the onion hair in tho garden patch while
tho snow waa falling. "They'll. o to sleep
now, and I won't be bothered by you
hunting for Information about snow,
storms, I'll be able to devote all my
tlmo to finding the connection between
animal and vegetable life. Just as sure as
my middle name's"
"Yes. what Is tl" he was asked.
"I won't tell," said Mokemacher. "Whv
should Jt" r
He added that he now knows the mid
dle name of George B. Bliss, the Phila
delphia weather forecaster, but ho also
refused to tell that. BU0
Mr. alias sadly said today that perhaps
it had snowed. If It did, Mokemachsr'a
prediction of three snows before winter
ends has been fulfilled. But Mr. Bliss
said he took no stock In onon or goose
bono weather prophets.
All of which, told to Mokemacher.
