hands on their way to work. Several
hundred persons were In the tabernacle,
singing away for all they wero worth at

.They were singing "Brighten the Cor

which goes to the tune of "I Didn't Italso
My Boy to be a Soldier," which two
young women In a cabaret of this city
jvere singing last night, with theso

Broad Street Station resounded with tho
tramp or many feet. Commuters arriving
from points along the Main Lino halted
an the strains of "It's a Long Way to
llppcrary" floated through the big sta
tion. Nearly 200i voices Joined In the
chorus, while a huge banner bearing tho
legend "Philadelphia For Ixjcal Option"
was unfurled by J. W. Yodcr, who led
the singing.

We will vote for local option,
Kor we know It's bound to come.

Farewell, you're not square,
'Twas u long. Ion? uay to local option
But now we'ro right there.
Similar scenes marked the departure
of tho Philadelphia delegation at tho

riving In the midst of the Jam wero car
ried along by the enthusiasm, and Joined
In singing "The Brewers' Big Horses

tlmo in a different direction. He came
from the Jersey side, leaving Camden
with half a dozen followers. And, like
his namesake, this George Washington
had to navigate through floating cakes
of Ice. Ha landed at the foot of Spruce
street and surprised, not the Hessians
this time, but Meyer Golrltch, who was
roasting frankfurters.
George and his supporters surrounded
Golrltch at his stand near Water and
Spruce streets and began to eat. They
were too hyngry to ask questions, and,
after cleaning up moat of the sausage,
turned their attention to fish cakes and
fritters. Golrltch opened wide the throt
tle of his oil stove and turned out fish
cakes at the rate of 40 miles an hour.
Everything was speeding along happily
until the cook asked who was going to
settle the bill. Then Washington and his
army looked amazed.
Two fir three of the customers said It
"was on George." But he declared that
It "was on Tom," while Tom said he
thought it "was on BUI."
Then Golrltch lost his temper and de

"Every ono has como to reallzo that
tho saloon Is our greatest enemy, and
we nro now prepared to show America
that Pennsylvania Is not content and
corrupt."
Tho legislative and legal aspects of thu
Ilmior tratllo wero analyzed by former
Congressman John It. Farr, of Scranton,
nnd Henry W. Temple, of Washington.
Both declared that ono of tho groatesl
benefits which locnl option would bring
to Pennsylvania was that It would re
move tho saloons from tho personal con
trol of tho Judiciary.
"Any legislative body which turns down
your wishes falls to recognize tho pur
poses of a legislative body," said Mr.
Farr.
Tho moral and social wrongs result

As a text ho suggested: "The saloon
would destroy tho church if It could;
the church could destroy tho saloon If
It would."
Congressman Miller pointed a warning
finger to the leaders of tho Republican
party If they failed to heed the volco
of the people. 'The rank ani file of
the Republican party Is back of local
option," ho declared, "and It will be a
day of 111 omen for tho party K this

A bag of dark brown hair was laid be
fore Magistrate Campbell today. by Mrs.
William Krouse, In very dramatic tones
she explained how It was taken from' her
head by her husband, William. The latter
looked on, sort of dazed, and didn't quite
lemember removing the tresses from their
normal resting place.
In fact, William did not remember how
he happened to be In the Belgrade and
Clearfield street station, nor had he any
collection of a struggle at his home.
JS3Q Livingstone street, which was de,
clured a draw when Policeman Fenn ar

him on the street for protection and dis
played the bag of hair, which she asserted
was pulled out by Krouse. Mrs. Krouie
returned to her Jiome and the cop fol
lowed shortly after to see that her hus
band did not renew his attack. He was
a little late, he said, but managed to
part the combatants before anything
serious, happened.
When Magistrate Campbell examined
the bag of evidence' presented by the
woman he was not convinced. "This

of the campaign party who has hereto

nmong women and girls.
It was explained that the Rev. William
P. Nicholson had not yet returned from

his "rest day," with his family, but that
ho would return to this city In tlmo to
conduct tho night service nt tho taber
nacle. Although this was tho first scrvlco of
tho kind conducted hero by Miss Smith, It
was one of tho best afternoon meetings
held since tho revlvnl opened. Tho young
woman choso "Faith" as her subject, nnd
delivered a sermon on that Bubject that
would havo done credit to an ordained
minister of tho Gospel
"I want to cmphnHlzo tho fact," sho
said, "that faith alono Is not enough.
You must also work, for by that means
nlono will you'nccompllsh results. This
doesn't menn that you shouldn't pray,
for that, too. Is necessary, but don't bo
afrnld of Interfering with tho Lord's
plans by going out nnd hustling yourself.
You do your pnrt and Ho will do HIb.

wonder that It does not seem to bo

right for tho heathen, but that you per

Christ and all that goes with belief In Illm
Just as truly ns do any heathen In tho

something for them that will amount to

"SAM" HARRIS BLAMES
GUNMAN FOR ATTACK
Fight Manager, Slashed With
Razor, Believes Blackmail
Was Underlying Motive.
A New York gunman and gang leader,
well known to tho police, was rcsponslblo
for tho attack on "Sam" Harris, promi
nent as a fight promoter, who wa3 slashed
with a razor whllo paying a taxi bill .In
front of the Hotel Bingham last night,
after coming from tho Olympla Athletic
Club. Harris said so this afternoon from
his bed In tho Jefferson Hospital. Ho
ndded that blackmail was at tho bottom
of It.
Propped up In bed, Harris received a
small delegation of newspnpor men after
being In conferenco with Detective Bcl
shaw, and proceeded to glvo his own ver
sion of tho attack.
"Wo arrived on the 11th street sldo of
tho Bingham," ho said, "and while I was
paying tho taxi bill 'Bill' McCarthy,
Julius Joseph, both of Baltimore, and
Dctectlvo Kradcr, of tho Bingham, went
Into tho hotel. Just as tho chauffeur
handed me the change a man, evidently
an Italian, approached mo and asked mo
If I was Snm Hnrrls, Ho was about 5
feet 3 Inches In height, nbout 21 years old,
clean shaven and dark complcxloncd.
"As soon ns I replied In the nfllrmatlve.
ho drow a razor and you can seo what
he did. Ho mado a dash eastward on
Market street, I saw thnt as I fell. My
friends heard my cry for help, but flr-jl
thought It como from tho Hotel dlni'i
room. When they rushed to the street
they found mo bathed In blood.
"A New York gunman Is responsible
for It all. It Is also a enso of black
mall. I havo received many threaten
ing letters and was askod to glvo up $500
after promoting tho KUbnno-Wllllams
light. Tho snmo man approached me
and asked for tho money on tho night
of March 17. That occurred In tho Bing
ham Hotel here. I did not bother with
tho man, however, as I thought him
simply a lunatic. I havo since received
letters threatening mo with death. I have
found out slnco that tho gunman called
nt tho poolroom of Georgo Keellv. nt
EOth street and Broadway, In New York,
whero I get my mall, and threatened to
kill both Keelly nnd me.
"I would llko to lay my hands on that
gangster. I would knock tho life out M
him. Tho attack last night w.ih so un
expected nnd cowardly. I think I had ono
hund In my pocket at tho time."
JOKE THREATENS RUIN
TO LIFE OF WOMAN
Innocent Advertisement for
New House Distorted Into
Desire for a Husband.
April Fool Jokes con be carried too far.
That fact Mrs. May Ccfsna, 5742 Com
merce street, has learned to her borrow,
Mrs, Cessna is tho woman who a few
days ago was reported ns having adver
tised In a Chicago paper for a new hui
band, tho alleged reason being that ho
was divorced, but could not get rid i.f
No. 1. It was all an April Fool Joke, no
cording to Mrs. Cessna, Innocent enough
at Inception, but which In Its results has
grown to such proportions that It threat
ens to spoil her life.
The story grew out of a simple adver
tisement that Mrs. Cessna Inserted In one
of the Philadelphia papers stating sho de
sired to move nnd share a new house with
some other desirable parlies. Somo ou
started tho rumor, she says, that she
wanted another husband. The rumor
spread, gathering details, until the utterly
false fabrication about the Chicago paper
and even tho actual wording of the ad
vertisement had been evolved,
Mrs. Cessna says sho Is living happily
with her husband, son and two daughters
at the Commerce etrect address and that
there is no reason for her delrlng to make
any change.

ABANDONED BY BRITISH
Official Edict Plan Supplanted
by Individual Effort and Sefc-1
ting of Example.
LONDON, April .
By sounding political leaders through'
out tho country, Premier' Asqulth nnd nil
cabinet havo learned that British national?
sentiment Is strongly opposed to any
edict Imposing universal prohibition. As
a result, It was said today that no meas
ure to that end will bo Introduced when
Parliament reconvenes on April It.
Tho Government's efforts will be direct
ed toward prompting the movement for
voluntary nbstlnenco as Initiated by Kbit
George and the royal household, and ijiS'1
ulatlng tho hour,s when alcoholic bever
ages shall bo sold. A measure fixing. fur
ther restrictions on tho hours of sale il
likely to bo the only definite measure In
troduced. Tho royal household will go "dry" to
morrow for tho first Umo In history, when,;
KInr Georco will banish all alcoholic bV'
ernges from tho palaces until the end of j
tho war. Leaders of the prohibition move
ment will try to have the term of ban
ishment made permanent. Virtually all
the members or tho court have followed
the example of the King In giving orders j
thnt all Intoxicants shall be barred from a;
their households. Thoro are many who
bellevo that the traffic In alcoholic drinks
will never again be a factor In tho busi
ness and social life of the United Klnr-
dom.
