by Calvary Preacher Cole
man P. Brown Working
Hard for Reorganization.
Do Lancey School and the Academy of
the Episcopal Church In Philadelphia ex
clusive and fashionable preparatory
chools for boyB, In which hundreds of
prominent Phlladelphlans received their
training, are to be merged. Tho Rev.
Fhlllp Justice Steinmetz, rector of Cal
vary Episcopal Church, Summit, N. J.,
has been urged to accept tho head
mastership and has manifested his will
ingness to take tho post If his parish con
sents. The new Institution will occupy tho
building of tho Episcopal Academy, Lo
cust and Juniper streets.
The Society for Organizing Charity and
a, number of other charitable orgnnlza-
1'. tlons which for years havo dreamed or
lh a. modern building that would houso them
all, plan and' hope to purchase tho Boven
atory building now occupied by Do Lancey
School.
The merger, previously ratlllcd by tho
trustees of the academy, was ratified by
tho board of directors of Dp Lnncey
School; at a meeting in the Rlttcnhouso
Club yesterday afternoon.
Coleman P. Brown, headmaster, treas
urer and member of tho board of di
rectors of Do Lancey School, left today
for Summit, whero ho will meet tho ves
try of Calvary Church and plead with
them to release tho Hcv. Mr. Steinmetz.
Mr. Brown said before ho left, that ho
and his mother, holding 75 per cent, of
the stock of Do Lancey School, possess
tho power to overrulo the action of the
Board of Directors, and thus compel
them to abandon tho plan to merge. Ho
Indicated the possibility of such action
in the event Calvary parishes refuse to
permit the Rev, Mr. Steinmetz to leave.
Still, he admitted, the Inability of Doctor
Steinmetz to accept the post would not
do ratal to merger plan. Other men
Interested In the fusing of the schools say
that the movement has gone so far that
there can be no changes In tho main
plan.
MERGER NEXT SEPTEMBER.
It is the desire of the trustees ot the
academy and the directors of Do Lanccy
School that Dr. Steinmetz come to Phila
delphia and assume the head mastership
within the next few weeks. That he will
consent to do this Is extremely unlikely
and, therefore, according to ofllcers of
both institutions, the merger probably will
not be consummated until tho beginning
of the next school year, next September.
Mr. Brown will resign as headmaster
of De Lancey School when tho merger Is
effected and will become an associate
headmaster. William Sergeant Blight,
head of the Blight School until It was
merged with De Lancey and now pro
fessor of Greek and Latin languages In
De Lancey, and Angel Boss Babbitt, pro
fessor "of Greek, Latin and German in
De, Liancey School, will become associate
. headmasters.
The new institution will be known as
The Academy of the Protestant Episcopal
Church in Philadelphia, De Lancey School
Merged."
FOUNDED IN 1877.
De Lancey School was founded In 1S77
by the late Henry Hobart Brown, father
of the present headmaster. At Mr.
Brown's death the school was reorganized
and incorporated, the founder's widow
and son having three-rourths of tho stock
and the remaining fourth being distribut
ed among many- hands.
The Blight School, founded in 1S87 by
William Sergeant Blight, Jr.. was merged
with De Lancey February 13, 1011.
ORIGIN OF ACADEMY.
The Episcopal Academy, one of the old
est church schools in the United States,
was founded In 1785, under the auspices
of the Rev. William White, afterwards
the first bishop of the Protestant Enls-
copal Diocese of Pennsylvania, and other
men dissatisfied with a legislative act
that, they believed, invaded the chartered
rights of the city's schools.
In January of that year the original
subscribers held their first meeting In
Christ Church. Edward Shlppen was one
of the first trustees.
Bishop Rhlnelander Is president of tho
Academy, Edward S. Buckley. Jr., Is sec
retary and treasurer. William Henry
Klapp, headmaster, resigned some
months ago, his resignation to become
effective at the end of the school year.

for at Least Two Weeks.
Berri-berri on Board.
WASHINGTON, April U
Treasury officials were In touch today
with Collector Hamilton, nt Norfolk, con
cerning the German raider Kronprlnz
Wllhelm. The vessel's commander prom
ised to sign nn application today for per
mission to dock. This application was
oxpected to ask for at least three weeks
to mako repairs and coal and provisions
for the liner.
Before that period's expiration It was
believed tho vessel would voluntarily In
tern. It will be at least a fortnight be
fore tho crow will bo physically nble to
return to duty, and some of them will ba
In the hospital much longer.
Admiral Fletcher will keep a supervisory
eye on the Kronprlnz and furnish such
guard as Is necessary, but tho Treasury
and not tho Navy officials will have
charge of the cruiser until she either
leaves or Interns.
NEWPORT NEWS. April 13.
That the escape of tho raider from the
allied warships off the coast was almost
too close for comfort. Is attested by the
story of Captain Thlcrfolder.
"We started north from the equator
short of coal and provisions," ho said.
"Unfortunately, no German supply ships
turned up, nor did we meet nny mer
chant ships from which wo could get coal
and supplies. In this situation It was
necessary for us to get to port and also
to a drydock. As wa came up wo con
tinually heard British warships talking
to each other by wireless. Ono night wo
heard tho exchango of news nbout the
Prlnz Eitcl Frledrlch being nt Newport
News. Thereafter we heard Information
about the Eltel every night, and a few
nights ago we got tho news from the
British wireless that the Prlnz Eltel had
interned. '
. "Immediately thereafter all talking be
tween the British warships ceased. Wo
presumed that tho fleet was breaking up,
and on Saturday night we decided to bolt
In for the Virginia Capes. Ab we got
nenrer tne coast it seemed to us from
the signals that there were as many as
three British warships and one French
ship within distances varying from thrco
to 50 miles ot us. One ship seemed dan
gerously near as wo approached tho
Capes.
"One night on our way up hero wo
were to havo met a German collier and
made for her. There were low, over
hanging clouds nbout us, but In the dis
tance a brilliant moonlight showed us our
Bhlp. There were two British warships
after her. The clouds protected us and
we escaped. Wo never heard of tho col
let"agaln." Captains and crews of two British ships
captured by the Kronprlnz Wllhelm com
plain of the treatment received aboard
their captor.

BRANDEIS PREPARES
TREASURY'S DEFENSE
AGAINST RIGGS BANK
Suit Against McAdoo, Will
iams and Burke May De
velop Most Important Fi
nancial Litigation Since
Jackson's Time.
WASHINGTON, April 13. The suit of
tho Biggs National Bank of Washington
against Secretary of the Treasury Mc
Adoo, Comptroller of the Currency Wil
liams and John Burke, Treasurer of tho
United States, to restrain tliem from In
terfering with the bank, was expected to
day to develop Into a great 1 -al battle.
Lawyers saw In It tho most Important
financial litigation flnce Andrew Jack
son's fight against tho central bank In
tho '30's of tho last century.
Louis D. Brondeis arrived from Boston
today. He nt once conferred with Comp
troller Williams, Attorney General Greg
ory and Assistant Attorney General War
ren, to map out the defense of the Treas
ury and discuss tho Comptroller's counter
chargo of Irrogularltlcs on the part of
tho bank olllclals, which he Investigated
recently.
With Mr. Brandcls retained especially
by the Government, and with former
Senator Joseph W. Bailey, of Texas, rep
resenting the Rlggs Bank, a striking
chapter In American banking history Is
expected to be written. The Govern
ment ofllclals must show cause on Frldar
why the relief sought by the bank should
not be granted.
Both ofllclals and business men here be
lieve that the litigation represents a
clear-cut case of the struggle of Govern
ment against business.
Comptroller Williams accuses tho bank
officials of "posing as martyrs," whllo
the bank, in Its suit, charges the Govern
ment ofllclals with attacking It becauso
of personal resentment.
A bill In equity was filed yesterday In
tho Supreme Court of tho District, charg
ing the officials with having furthered,
In defiance of law and In violation of
their ofllclal oaths, a system to ruin the
financial standing of the bank.
Justice McCoy Issued a temporary re
straining order and rule for a prelim
inary Injunction against tho ofllclals on
tho application of former Senator Bailey
and Frank J. Hogan, attorneys for tho
bank. Under this order tho ofllclals are
restralnedfcfrom paying Into the Treasury
of the United Stntes JMOO, withheld from
the Rlggs National Bank, representing
Interest on Government bonds.

peared before the sergeant and announced;
"Evera bo-da dinks 1 am a da mutt.
Deesa afternoon I keela dree men. I
don care about nodding, for I'm a bad

The sergeant chased him out, A few
minutes later Alexandero got into a fight
with two fellow-countrymen at Church
lane and Lena street. He was extricated
from a mass of fists and feet and taken
to the police station,
The sergeant was amaxed when he
heard that the charge was simply dis
orderly conduct.
"I was a-try to keel two men," said
Vincent, "when dees-a cop, he make-a

'you couldn't kill a mosquito," said the
sergeant. "Take him back."

Continued from 1'age One
of the Penn Bridge Company. Principal
Assistant Engineer In United States
Engineer Ofllcc, Baltlmoro and Phila
delphia. Speculation on the circumstances that
may follow the unexpected resignation of
Mr. Norrls agitated political circles nt
City Hall today.
Mr. Norrls has been the chief financial
adviser of tho administration and was
ono of tho principal tacticians In the con
ference between tho city and railroad of
ficials that resulted In tho ngreement for
tho JM.000,000 project of grade-crossing
elimination In tho southern section of the
city. He has been responsible for the
planning thnt has resulted In great de
velopment for the docking facilities of
the city.
Thero Is further speculation whether re
cent Incldonts In the fight for better
transit' facilities may not have been re
sponsible In a measure for Mr. Norrls'
determination to resign from the Blankcn
burg cabinet to devote his entire time to
the campaign for better housing condi
tions In Philadelphia. Ho Is president of
the Philadelphia Housing Commission.
Mr. Norrls hus been nn ardent advocate
for tho Taylor transit plans, nnd In a pub
lic meeting for transit at tho Academy of
Music aroused the Ire of Edward T.
Stotesbury by Interpreting the financial
phases of the transit question In the light
that the Philadelphia Bapld Transit Com
pany's directors were unwilling to co-operate
In fulfilment of tho Taylor plan.
E. T. Stoesbury, who was then In Palm
Beach. Bent Mayor Blankcnburg a rather
acrimonious telegram declaring that ho
considered his personal Integrity assolled.
Mr. Stotesbury Is chairman of the P. B.
T. board of directors, us well as a close
friend nnd adviser or the Mayor. Tho
final telegram from Mr. Stotesbury to tho
Mayor conveyed the blunt statement that
he would discuss the uffalr with tho
'Mayor privately upon his return, but
would not enter n conference that Included
cither Director Norrls or Director Taylor.
The Mayor did not declare that he would
not agree to such a conference, nnd, al
though It Is said such conference has
doubtless been held since Mr, Stotes
bury's return, there has been no publlo
statement made regarding the decisions
reached at the conference.
ZEALOUS IN HOUSING CAMPAIGN.
Despite the fact that Mr. Norrls has
been In rather poor health for some time,
he huB plunged vigorously Into the cam
palgn for better housing In support of
the act of 1913, which has been under fire
in councils nnd In the Legislature ever
since Its enactment.
It was largely due to Mr. Norrls's ef
forts that tho Gransback bill nullifying
the existing housing code and establish
ing a toothless" measure had a very
stormy voyage through the Common
wealth's legislative halls and was finally
vetoed by Governor Brumbaugh.
air. morris asserted today that he would
devote his entire energies to the cam
paign to obtain from Councils compro
mises on tho 1913 housing measure while
the Legislature Is still In session. He
will be active In endeavoring to learn
whether concessions In the existing bill
can bo made without Jeopardizing the'
health of tho populase In congested tens.
ments and still meet the approval of the
Organization lenders.
Mr. Norrls Is a Democrat, although al
ways Identified with Independent forces
for reform measures. Some politicians
have voiced the belief that he would be
a mayoralty possibility In the coming
campaign, although he has not been In the
central activities of the local Democratic
party. He was chosen, however, by Pres
ident Wilson for a place on the Federal
Reserve Board In this city aa a repre
sentatlve Democrat and capable financier.
Mr. Norrla has been a banker and was
formerly a member of the Arm of E. B.
Smith & Co, He consented reluctantly in
become a member of the cabinet of Mayor
Blankenburg, as he had planned to de
vote some time to foreign travel with his
wife at the time that Mayor Blankenburg
Was elected.
HOUSING IN CRITICAL STAGE.
Mayor Blankenburg announced that he
has with extreme reluctance accepted Di
rector Norrls resignation, realizing the
humanitarian work in connection with
housing that Director Norrls wishes to
pursue.
Director Norrls said he believed mat
ters concerning housing in this city were
now at a crucial stage. He pointed out
that he became president of the Housing
Commission before he became Director of
the Dock Department.
Mr, Norrls is the third director to re
sign from the cabinet of Mayor Blanken
burg. The other two resignations were
In the Department of Health and Char
ities, where Doctors Joseph S. NeR and
Blchard H. Harte resigned successively.
Doctor NefT resigned because of 111

of friction developing after he had

BOYD ALLEGES FRAUD
IN CLAY CONTRACTS
Architect Says Cement Was
Used for Granite in Fire
house Operation.
Omissions of granite columns and other
costly work that had been called for In
tho first contract for the police station
and flrehouso nt 3d and Race streets wero
described today by D. Knickcrbackcr
Bnyd, an architect, at the trial of Henry
Clay, former Director of Tubllc Safety;
John R. Wiggins and AV'lllard H. Walls,
contractors, accused of conspiracy to de
fraud tho city by contract Jugglery.
Boyd was on tho witness stnnd most
of yesterday and probably will not finish
his testimony before adjournment today.
He concluded his testimony on the truck
house at 16th and Catharine streets this
morning, nnd Assistant District Attorney
Joseph A. Taulane then referred him to
tho various contracts for the 3d and
Race streets project.
Among tho substitutions of cheaper ma
terial testified to by Boyd were cement
wheel guards at the fire houso entrance,
Instead of granite; a slag roof for tin,
galvanized Iron In place of copper nnd
wood for marble In the wainscoting. He
testified the plans for the second con
tract were generally followed In the con
struction of this building. Tho defense
contends Wiggins & Co. got paid for both
contracts.
It Is the contention of the Common
wealth that the city was defrauded to
tho extent of $30,000 by reason ot the al
leged conspiracy between the three de
fendants to alter tho plans under which
the work was done. Wiggins' bid on the
first advertised plans for tho 3d nnd
Race streets Job was $107,676. Under this
contract tho three buildings were to be
erected nlong el.ibor.-Uo lines. After Wig
gins & Co. secured the first contract, a
second contract was awarded to the com
pany for the same work.
The specifications attached to the sec
ond contract eliminated much of the
work provided for in the original con
tract, but Wiggins was paid $13,690 addi
tional unuer tno second contract, not
withstanding tho fact that under the re
vised plans and specifications attached
thereto, it cost tho contractor less money
to erect tho buildings. A third contract
was subsequenly awarded to Wiggins at
nn additional cost to the city of $1635, and
called for the completion of certain work
In the interior of the police station nnd
other Incidentals toward the completion
ot the three buildings as per the second
contract.
States Meet in Annual
Conference Noted Men
Attend and Will Speak.
The tearing down of discipline and au
thority In the home Is one of the chief
reasons for Insisting on a higher standard
of teochers In normnl schools.
This was tho statement of A. C. Rolher
mel, principal of the KuUtown Normal
School, In the course of ntl ndilicss to
day nt the opening session of Schontnicn'fl
Week nt tho University ot Pennsylvania.
Tho dally sessions wljl be nttended by
educators of national reputation.
Mr. ftotherniel declnifil thnt with the
Increasing Inxlty of tho home, the re
sponsibility of teachers to ndhcre to a
higher standard of character and con
duct becomes moro Imperative. Ho as
serted that the Independence ot the
younger generation was moro marKea
now than 10 or IS years ago, and ex
pressed tho belief thnt tho habit of go
ing to movies nnd tramping the streets
nt nluht wns the chlof cause. Ono of
tho criticisms of the public school sys
tem and higher Institutions of learning
advanced by the speaker was that too lit
tle stress was placed on nioml training.
mOKS LONGER NORMAL COURSE
Prank E. Baker, principal of the Stnto
Normnl School of Edlnboro, Pa., con
tended thnt n two-yenrs' normnl school
courso wnB not sufllclent nftcr a student
hntl been graduated from high school.
The rtandnrds In Pennsylvania public
rchools cannot ho raised, lie said, unless
there Is n longer normnl school course.
He declared thnt tho attempt to crowd
n full professional training for teachers
Into two years study additional to tho
high school courso results In a devltnl
Izcd courso of study. To Insure properly
trained tenchers, he said, three and ul
timately four years In normnl Fchools
must bo Insisted on.
Tho need of vigorous school teachers,
who possess tho quality of leadership,
wns dwelt on by Charles Lose, principal of
the Slate Normnl School, at Lock Haven.
Tho day of the scrawny, flat-chested
teacher Is past, he said. Tho modern
woman school teacher must bo nble to
lead her pupils In playground games and
lead them on the street In parade. If
necessary. The modern teacher Is vigor
ous, nnd therefore n better teacher. Tho
modern girl wants to bo like a boy in
her exercise.
SCORES MONOTbNOUS LESSONS.
Mr. Lose said changes In tho primary
grades of city schools wero brought about
by changes In tho viewpoint of normal
schools. Ho pointed out that monotonous
rending nnd automatic spelling wero
things of the past, and recommended that
lessons in neatness, kindness and deport
ment be given in tho primary classes.
The speaker said In conclusion that
dress and house furnishing In the next
generation, as well as pleasures, will bo
shaped largely by tho Instruction In tho
primary schools of today In such mat
ters ns drawing, music and branches
nlong that line.

FOR CORONER
Mrs. Lillian F. Feickert De
livers Address in Street at
Postoffice Today.
Continued from Page One
was accused of being at the wheel of the
high-powered touring car from which
Doris was hurled, sustaining Injuries
which resulted In his death. The machine
grazed the side of m south-bound car on
10th street abovo Arch. Doris sustained
internal Injuries and wns badly bruised.
At the hearing today Roche's address was
given as 212 Gowan avenue, Mt. Airy,
where the young man makes his home
with his parents. Young Snyder, who wna
held as a material witness following the
accident, lives at 1525 Euclid avenue.
The police testified at the previous
hearing that Roche, with Snyder and two
other companions, drove to the stage
door of the Trocadero Theatre after the
performance in the night Doris received
his injuries. Doris said tho men appear
ed to be under the influence of liquor and
barred their way. He said they tried to
go past him Into the kings of the theatre.
They said they expected to meet some
young women members of the company
playing at the show house.' which offers
burlesque productions.
When the visitors refused to leave with
their machine, Doris In his ante-mortem
statement said, he mounted the running
board of the machine and ordered Its
occupants to drive to City Hall. Instead,
he said, they speeded north on 10th street
at a high rate of speed, The police claimed
young Roche guided the automobile close
to a street car in an attempt to shake
off their captor. This Roche ap.d his at
torney denied.
The day after the affair, when it h.
came known that Doris was probably
fatally hurt, Roche surrendered to the
police. He was' placed under bail to
await the outcome of the victim's In
juries. All of the young men who were
mentioned In connection with the 'party"
are well known In this city, and their
families are prominent socially.
Mrs. Lillian F. Feickert, president of
the New Jersey Woman Suffrage Associa
tion, delivered a noonday street address
at the Postoffice today and told of the
progress being made by tho suffragists In
her State.
"One of the reasons why we nre so
anxious to win in September," she said,
"Is that It may old the 'cause in Penn
sylvania. You know the women of Phila
delphia, and you know thnt they are
competent to vote.
"Woman suffrage has been successful
In the Western States and no longer Is an
experiment," she said, "If you men ot
Philadelphia think the men of the West
Intelligent, you necessarily must think
that suffrage Is a good thing.'
Other addresses were delivered by Miss
Bertha Sapovlts, organizer of the busi
ness women's delegations for the suf
frage parado May 1, at.d Mrs. William
Albert Wood, grand marshal of the
parade, who spoke on woman suffrage In
relation to the home.
An Interesting feature of Mrs. Wood's
address was an Interruption by one of
her hearers who asked whether sho
knew that the average worklngman'a
wage in mis ciiy is ji3.is weekly. Mrs.
Wood replied that she knows this and
added she also knew that the average
wage for women In the city Is little more
than 15 weekly. She then declared the
women need the vote to better this con
dltlon. A branch of the Equal Franchise So
ciety will be opened tomorrow afternoon
at 3 o'clock at 6727 Germantown avenue,
This office will be shared with the
Woman Suffrage party of the 15th legis
lative district, Germantown and Chest
nut Hill. Regular meetings will be' held
In the new headquarters on the second
Wednesday of each month.
