A score or two of University of I'enn
sylvanla students who aro dcnUens of
boarding houses on the eastern edge of
the campus are In serious danger of los
ing a hnnglng-out place at 33d nnd Chest
nut sheets, which has become dear to
them-and this, just at tho beginning of
the open season for street corner philoso
phers. The place a cast-iron fence (not Bplkcd)
extends 30 feet around the tobacco nhop
nnd poolroom of James A. Stafford, 3:60-62

The cause of the trouble-an Injunction
asked for by Henry C. Walker, owner of
tho adjoining property, In Common Pleas
Court No. 2 yesterday.
AcrosB from tho Stafford cigar sl&re,
diagonally, is Drexel institute. At noon,
when the "co-eds" troop forth to stroll

yes, you have guessed It tho students
perch themselves on the Iron pipe and
observo feminine fashions with which
they have not become acquainted Mr.
Walker has a. tenant, Charles P. Klrby,
proprietor of a drug store, and Mr. Klrby
says it hurls his business to have the
adjacent property headquarters for the
study of polymurlel frocks nnd shoes
laced up the side, back, or anywhere but
the front.
The druggist says that the fence ex
lends beyond tho building lino and that It
Is a "nulsnncc." Mr. Stafford, the fence
owner, retorts that tho fenco h,is been
there 20 years without a protest, nnd that
he will fight for the rights of tho Penn

WYOMING ABOLISHES SALOONS;
TENTH "DRY" COUNTY IN STATE
Crowd in Courtroom Cheers Judgo
Terry's Decision.
TUNKHANNOCK, Pa., April 10,-Wyo-mlng
County has fallen in line, tho tenth
In Pennsylvania In abolishing tho saloon.
With a crowded court manifesting Its
approval with handclapplng and cheers,
Judgo Terry disposed of the last of tho
23 applications with a refusal to grant,
thus making a clean sweep of tho county,
whoso 10 remaining bars will go dry at
12 o'clock tonight.
"I havo disposed of each case on Its
merits, after a full hearing from both
sides," said Judgo Terry nt tho session
yesterday. "I have followed tho ruling of
the Venango County court. Where public
necessity is overbalanced by tho mora'
welfare of tho community, tho license
should be refused."
When Judgo Terry emerged from the
courthouse half a dozen men congratu
lated him. Only one note of opposition
was heard.
"1 suppose I'll have to congratulate you,
too, Charley," said a citizen. In a husky
voice. "But I might as well tell you they
have your hide nailed to the fenco al
ready." Judgo Terry laughed and shook hand3
with tho citizen.
EDGE'S SENATORIAL DOOM
RECEIVES NEW IMPETUS
Signing of Economy Bills Regarded
as an Aid to His Candidacy.
TRENTON, N. J.. April 10. The sign
ing of four of the economy bills by Gov
ernor Fielder has caused the boom for
United States Senator of Walter It. Edge,
of Atlantic City, president of the State
Senate, to assume larger proportions.
Senator Edge has been In the limelight
for some time for this position.
Mr. Edge will be the Acting Governor
of New Jersey during May, when Gov
ernor Fielder will be at the San Francisco
Exposition. This prospective transposi
tion has caused talk to the effect tha),
while Mr. Edge would make n good
United States Senator, he would also
make an ahlo Governor.
Ex-Governor E. C. Stokes, of this city,
and ex-Senator Joseph S. Frellnghuysen,
of Somerset County, have formally
launched their candidacies for tho United
States Senate, while it is also a foregone
conclusion that ex-Governor Franklin
Murphy, of Newark, will also bo In the
field for the same berth.

to attend the funeral of his brother nnd
took a train for that city. J. H. Carroll,
of St. l.ouls, and Congressman Fitzgerald,
of Brooklyn, evaded the quarantine, but
wore sent back to the boat by the police.
Later the quarantine was lifted.

foWi. mi ,.-.. - - xtif t -r - -- "-" -Jr--3 fc- irffal if fsfwiiinrlJ
John R. Marklcy, who wenrs the mustache, and Isaiah B. Miller were
two of the five convicted men who today were taken to the Eastern
Penitentiary.
JAIL DOORS CLOSE ON
LUMBER SWINDLERS
Continued from Porc One
too, tried to encourago her. Tho three
othor prisoners started various conversa
tions that faltered and ended aimlessly.
They could not keep their eyes from the
woman on the bench. Stewart especially
wore n strained look. He was waiting
for his wife, who arrived a short time
Inter and sat beside Mrs. Miller on the
bench.
"Tho lumber proposition always was a
good one," said Stewart, before he was
put Into the detention cell to wait for the
commitment papers. "Our prosecution
was unwarranted. TImo will show that
this Is true nnd that wo are Innocent
of any wrongdoing."
Papers In civil suits against the four
for the collection of WCJO were served in
court by John M, Sutton, of Ovid, N. Y.
Sutton's father was one of tho original
Investors in the lumber swindle. He left
his holdings to his son. The latter claims
to have paid various assessments, totaling
about 5000. Several other suits for re
covery have been filed ngalnst tho four
men.
Stewart failed to arrive at the Federal
building until 11:05 o'clock this mornliK.
two hours and fifteen minutes late. Ho
hurried Into the ofTlco of the United States
District Attorney and explained the cause
of his delay. The reason given out wds
that he had mlfeed the train Inst night
from Washington, where he remained to
tho lost minute trying to get executive
clemency. The real reason, it was
learned, was that Stewart had dlfllculty
getting the railroad fare to this city.
Tho other three had been committed by
Judgo Dickinson before Stewart arrived.
Ho wa3 arraigned and his case was dis
posed of In a few minutes. Then he
Joined his friends In the little cell room.
Shortly after noon the start was made
for the Eastern Penitentiary. The men
had hoped to go in a closed automobile.
Instead, they were taken In a trolley car.
A curious little knot of men and women
watched them march out of the Postofflco
Building and board the car. They took
seats In the rear. Thcro was little con
versation on the trip. Each of the four
tried to talk, but in vain. Each stopped
time and again In the middle of a sen
tence to gaze at the crowds in the streets.
Every little incident visible from the tar
windows was Interesting to the prisoners.
Lltllo things, formerly of no lmpoit, be
came Intensely Interesting. Each realized
It would be a long time before he would
see the city again ns a free man.
Markley and Miller each will serve one
ear nnd three months, and will pay a
fine of $10,000; JIcMahon will serve two
years and pay a J200O fine, and Stewart
will serve a year and a day, and pay a
tine of J10O0. Armstrong's term rfnd line
are the same as that of McMuhon.
United States District Attorney Francis
Fisher Kane denied emphatically before
the men were arraigned that ho had rec
ommended clemency for Armstrong, who
Is III. He said It was not the Intention of
the department to drng Armstrong out of
bed. He said investigation had been i lade
of the man's condition nnd the statements
of his attorney were found to be true.
Therefore, no effort will be made to
bilng up Armstrong for commitment un
til he has recovered to the point where
It will not endanger his life.
LAST HOUR, OP FREEDOM.
An hour before the four men convicted
of what Is considered the most brazen
promotion frauds ever perpetrated In this
country were committed to the Eastern
Penitentiary they met In the corridor
of the Hotel Walton, where Miller and
Markley spent the night. McMahon, wlw
has been living at the home of relatives
in Wayne, and Colonel Stewart Joined
them later. Colonel Stewart arrived In
the city early today from Washington.
His home Is in Chicago. His railroad fare
from Chicago to Washington and this
city was contributed by friends. Arm
strong, who Is a physical wreck, wa3
absent. He is confined In bed at his
apartments, 103 South 11th street.
The men sat In chairs near the front
entrance and talked about different
things. Colonel Stewart, who was legal
adviser for the International Lumber
will celebrate our 78th year as
Goods Merchants with our
1 1264128' Cfjestmtt Street
Company, discussed some of the srenes
which he had ultuereed during U.-1 Spanish-American
War. He commanded a reg
iment of Iowa militia during the war.
Later he was Attorney General of Potto
Tllco for nine days.
In tho centre of the four men -.at Mrs.
Isaiah Miller, the wife of Isaiah Miller,
one of the managers of the comprny. Her
eyes weie moist with tears. Her light
arm rested on the shoulder of her hus
band, who looked steadily on tho lloor.
Occasionally she would wlpo speck r,f
dust from his coat collar. Miller often
changed his steady gaze upon the marble
floor and kindly looked Into his wife's
eyes. Colonel Stewart had Just completed
a thrilling war story dealing with tho
famous Spanish blockhouse on San Juan
Hill which was catured by Colonel
Roosevelt and his Rough Riders, when
Miller got up from his seat. Tears wero
In his eyes but they weren't caused by
tho war story related by Colorci Stewart.
Tho tears appeared when Murk'cy looked
at his watch and saw that tho hour was
approaching when he and nis colleagues
were due to appear before Judgo iJlckln
son. "What time Is It?" asked McMahon.
"Just 8:20," replied Colonel Stewart.
"Another 20 minutes and then the bell
rings," laughingly exclaimed Markley.

I
pALLACIES have been exploited for years to injure,
x personally and otherwise, men engaged in the legal
ized manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages. Mud
throwing attacks, intemperate in tone and false in state
ment, have been made from rostrums and in print against
dealers in liquors; and these assailed interests have as a rule
remained silent. When, on rare occasions, response was
made to slanders, it was done in dignified and temperate
language. These replies were in keeping with the character
and regard for truthfulness that has been adhered to in the
"Facts versus Fallacies" series of articles appearing in the
Philadelphia newspapers.
-tERTAIN vicious utterances of a personal nature against dealers in alcoholic drinks
- will not be quoted, but the articles will continue to deal temperately only with
FALLACIES that lave been imposed upon the public mind, and that have blinded
the public's eyes to the FACTS. For instance, a platform
and hard-workine laborers
for drink, retaining only one-third for the support of their
families, was simply a preposterous and serious accusation
against American mechanics. Nor was it other than rank
FALLACY to charge the cost of the judiciary to litigations
resultant from drink.

Facts Versus
Fallacies
FACT is a real state of things. FALLACY is an appar
ently genuine but really illogical statement or argument.
exhorter in Philadelphia said: "Last year the workingmen
spent $2,200,000,000 for drink, and it cost $1,200,000,000
to care for the judiciary machinery. In other words, the
liquor business cost us last year $3,400,000,000."
THE manifest purpose of this FALLACY, or irre
sponsible use of figures, was to injure the liquor busi
ness. In refutation of these figures, the last Federal Census,
that of 1010, records ttiat in 009hhere were 6,615,046 wage
earners in the United States, arid that they received a total
of $3,427,038,000 in wages. To charge that nearly all honest
spent two-thirds of their wages

Reply to German Protest Will
Be Based on Fact That Eng
land Controls Seas.
WASHINGTON. April W.-Tho latest
German claim that the United States Is
violating the spirit of neutrality In per
mitting arms exportation by the Allies
will not be accepted by the United States.
II was pointed out today that this point
was raised last September, when It be
came apparent that the German navy
did not intend to contest with England
for control of the seas. At that time the
State Department's legal bureau pre
pared tor President Wilson a comprehen
sive opinion dealing with the entire prob
lem. It was held that this Government would
have been within its rights had It pro
claimed an embargo to prevent elttic
sldo from securing munitions when the
war broke out, but after the Allied fleet
had assumed tho mastery of tho seas
any embargo would have been In Ger
many's Interest and could properly have
been considered by the Allies nn Un
neutral net. It was stated today that this
was still the President's position, which
could hardly be changed al this late day.
The suggestion also made In the latest
German declaration that the United
States has acquiesced In the British or
der In council placing a ban on German
trade Is met with the statement that this
point already lias been fully dealt with
In the note to Oteat Britain now In the
hands of tho British Foreign Office.
All this Is to be set forth In a formal
reply to nil of the German communica
tions which Is now being prepared by
Counsellor Lansing, of the State Depart
ment. Rock Island Scenic
