WHO TRIED TO KNIFE
TRANSIT IN SENATE?
McNichol Denies He Is Author
of Resolution Designed to
Throttle City.
IIARRISIIUIIG, April S.-Who Is behind
the move that was made in the Legisla
ture yesterday to further muddle tho
transit situation In Philadelphia?
This is tho deepest mystery on Capitol
Hill today. Tho only forces that havo
openly opposed the Taylor rapid transit
plans, lieutenants of Stato Senator James
iP. McNichol, denied today that they wero
behind the Introduction In tho House yes
terday of tho Bernthelzel resolution for
an nmendment to the State Constitution
that would prohibit tho city of Philadel
phia from expending funds received
through loans borrowed under the pro
posed increased borrowing capacity, based
on personal property tax assessment.
Senator McNichol today flatly denied
thnt he gave Reprcccntatlve Bernthelzel
thn measure. Further, ho Bald that ho
will opposo It. Senator Vare, who has
placed himself on record In favor of the
Taylor plans, asserted that he knows
nothing of tho resolution, which would
conflict with an amendment that would
provide tho funds for the proposed sub
way and elevated lines, and which he now
ha3 In the Senato Committee on Municipal
Affairs, of which ho Is chairman.
Kcprcsentatlvo Bernthelzel said that tho
"bill was handed to him." He also said
that ho "believes It is a McNichol bill."
Tho forces behind he measure, which
would apply to Philadelphia only, Is ap
parently a mystery. With both Senator
McNichol and Senator Vare denying that
they had anything to do with It, and oom
Ing out flat-footedly in opposition to It,
there Is little likelihood of the measure
retting' very far.
It la plain, however, that somo foroe
antagonistic to the Taylor plans caused
the resolution to be Introduced. Who It
Is will probably not be known until Rep
resentative Bernthelzel makes a deflnlto
statement as to who really did hand him
tho resolution.

HOPKINSON SMITH DIES
AFTER BRIEF ILLNESS
Author and Artist, Prominent
in Club Life of This City for
Many Years.
Francis Hopklnson Smith, author, art
ist and engineer, widely known both In
America and abroad, died lato yesterday
afternoon, nt his home, 150 East 31th
street, New York city. Jlr. Smith was
"6 years old, and his death was the result
of n complication of diseases after nn ill
ness of 10 das.
Although he had lived In New York for
many years, Mr. Smith was a well-known
llguro In Philadelphia club life. As a
membor of the Art Club ho was awarded
a cold medal some years ago for his at
tainments in the field of nrt. He was
also a member of tho Poor Richard and
Franklin Inn Clubs. Ills last nppearance
In this city was at a dinner given last
yenr to John Bach McMaster by the Phil
adelphia Historical Society. This dinner
also was the occasion of the last public
appearance of S. Weir Mitchell.
Mr. Smith was a man of versatile ac
complishments. Not only did he draw
and write, but ho demonstrated his abil
ity In the field of constructive engineer
ing. The Pan-American Exposition
awarded him several medals for his work,
as did also tho Charleston Exposition.
He was born in Baltimore In 183S. Ono
of his ancestors was Francla Hopklnson,
a signer of tho , Declaration of Inde
pendence, and another was Judge Joseph
Hopklnson, the first president of tho
Philadelphia Academy of tho Fine Arts.
Mr. Smith's father wae a wealthy Iron

custom for years to spend soveral months
abroad each year sketching and painting.
When the war broke out he was In
France, and after spending September In
London returned to New York.
He. Is survived by his widow, who was
Miss Josephlno Van Deventer.
FINDS TWO TYPES OF WOMEN
Doctor Cole Says They Are Either
Wives or Mothers.
BOULDER. Col,. March 8. Women are
divided Into two classes by Dr. Lawrence
W. Cole, head of the psychology depart
ment of the University of Colorado.
"Woman fresh from nature's molding
la either a predestined wife or a mother,"
he said. "She Is not both. Every wom
an knows to which type sho herself be
longs, although she will not admit It.
The mother-typo knows nothing of the
worship between husband and wife.
Love of that kind Is foreign. She may
Imagine she Is In love, but most often
sho mistakes gratitude for love. Well for
the husband of this wife If he allows
himself gradually to occupy the position
of eldest and most Important of her chll
dren. In return for this submission
boundless will be the care and devotion
bestowed upon his upbringing day by
day. He will be foolish If he says.
'Motherhood Is good, but wifehood Is what
I wanted.' Even If her marriage Is child
less. ouO a woman Is useful.
"For Vle wife-woman the nursery Is
nt beat '.nit an Interlude and a real In
terruption of the wife's strongest Inter
ests. These women are not skilled In
early teething troubles. They know little
of the rival merits of different kinds of
flannels. Wisdom and foresight are never
the attributes of the wife-woman. Since
the ultimate destiny of this female can
not be motherhood, It may be bridge,
whist or politics."

Bill Introduced to Amend the Present
School Code.
(FROM 1 STAFF COnnF.SPOMlENT 1
HARRISBURG, April 8.-Slmon Grntz
may bo forced to retire cither from
the Board of Uducatlon In Philadelphia
or resign ns president of tho Board of
Revision of Taxes If n bill which has been
Introduced In the House by Representa
tive Walsh, a Varo followor, becomes a
law, Tho mcasuro provides for nn amend
ment to the present school code and
stipulates that no person who holds an
elective or appointive olHce In a munici
pality comprising a school district of tho
first ur second class shall be eligible ns a
school director.
As Mr. Grntz had numerous differences
of opinion with Governor Brumbnugh
while the latter was superintendent of
schools, the introduction of the Walsh
measure has caused much speculation ns
to what attitude tho Governor would
tako It was pointed out, however, thnt
Mr. Gralz was an ardent supporter of the
Governor's candidacy.
The election bills Introduced by Senator
McNichol formulated for tho prevention
of fusion after primary elections have
passed the Senate and nro now in the
House.
After a large Pittsburgh delegation was
heard, tho proposal to repeal the non
partisan ballot act was killed In commit
tee. A bill had been Introduced by Sen
ator Tomklns, of Cambria, calling for tho
repeal of the act In Its application to all
Judges in the State and aleo to officials in
cities of tho second class. Pittsburgh and
Scranton are Included in the latter. The
bill will be ncgntlvely reported to the
Senate tomorrow by the Committee on
Elections.
Senator McNichol said he thought the
non-parusan Dauot naa not been pro
ductive of success. A likely winner, he
declared, was the man who could Bpend
most money In a campaign. A letter from
Judge Sulzberger, of Philadelphia, char
acterized the proposed repeal as a meas
ure that would create evils worse than
any evils It sought to remedy and called
It "a device that would work In favor of
vulgar plutocracy."

ASK POLICEMEN OF CITY
"Cops" Resent Failure of Bureau to
Order Donning of Spring Coats.
If Philadelphia policemen were given
to Insurglng they would certainly organ
ize n revolt against a bureau of police
that has failed to relieve them of their
heavy winter overcoats, despite tho fact
that tho gay bark of the sassafras In
tho drug storo window and the famed
tired feeling, to say nothing of rnyn of
n warming sun, proclaim the ndvent of
spring.
I3very police organization Is said to
have Ita dark secrets, the exposition of
which warm tho hearts of the scandal
mongers This is the mystery of the
riilhilelphla Rurcnu of Police: Why
haven't the policemen been ordered to
doff their great toata nnd don their spring
and summer dress coats?
Echo ntiswers: "Well, you can search
S-u Thlits wat I'd like to know."
The policemen nre sore displeased. To
day ono needs nn extremely light over
coat if any. A goodly number of men
are promenading wholly without over
coats, nnd, apparently, without bad re
sults. Nobody but policemen nro wear
ing a great thick overcont, reaching nl
most to tho ground.
The policemen say thev nro being slow
ly parboiled. This wouldn't bo so un
fortunate If It lasted only a short time,

H0TELMAN ENDS HIS
LIFE IN AN ORCHARD
Keeper of Inn on White Horse
Pike, Camden County, Shoots
Himself Twice.
frank Sknlla, for many ears pro
prietor nf Mm old White Horso Inn on
Whlto llorso pike and widely known
throughout Camden County, committed
suicide early today In his orchnrd. Sknlla,
who nan more thnn 60 years old, sent ono
bullet through his brain and another
through his heart. An old lantern wan
found burning by his body. Ho had used
It to see to write a statement, which he
tacked on a tree. In this ho blamed his
wife nnd children for his suicide, although
financial turoblcs, according to tho Coro
ner's officials, led him to kill himself.
In firing the second bullet the hotel
keeper set his clothing on Are. Tho blaze
attracted his wife, son nnd daughter,
who discovered tho body. Hkalla's last
note read:
"This Is my last statement. My wife
nnd children lovo me no longer, so I
havo decided upon this terrible way of
ending my life."
Tho Coroner's ofllclals tnnrvelod nt the
fact that Sknlla, after firing ono bullet,
which pierced his brain, was able to
shoot himself a second tlmo through the
heart. They said ho lost considerable
money about thrco years ago, nnd this
fact preyed on his mind to such an ex
tent that It Influenced him to commit
suicide.

We stick to
One Bush
At Perry's
We have stuck to it for
51 years, and we hope to
stick to it right to the end
of the chapter.
That bush is the mak
ing and selling of just
clothes for Men and
Young Fellows.
It's been a good old
bush to us, because we
believe we've been good
to it. We've dug about it,
pruned it, cultivated it
with care until we've
made it bear the best
Men's and Young Men's
clothes it is humanly pos
sible to produce. s
Spring Suits at $15,
$18, $20, whose prices are
no criterion of their
superior value in cloth
and workmanship a s
compared with what less
fortunate stores can put
into their best at the same
money.
