For ten thousand poor old grnndmoms

It was learned that 437fi nmm hm i,n,i

At least 1578 business men wero hur
riedly called out of town (after th-sy had
gono to the ofrico) to spend Inst mbments
with 1578 relatives and friends.
And there wero nil kinds of accidents
at homo which prevented men from going
to work (and calling them back after they
started). Fortunntcly for employers who
are trying to continue business, many of
the accidents happened around noon. As
a snmplo of this kind of trouble. It might
bo worth while to say that mad dogs
bit children, babies fell down stairs and
wero "very badly" Injured;' Kitchen
ranges blew up nnd there were no end of
(Ires which mndo hubby go home light
awny.
To mako matters worse about 785 old
aunts and uncles from Idaho, Cnnnda
and other places started to arrive around
lunch hour and thousnnds of clerks, me
chanics and others had to rush homo to

It ulso was learned that the Athletics

VARE BILL FOR TRANSIT
LOAN IS REPORTED OUT
Proposed Amendment to Con
stitution Would Increase
City's Borrowing Capacity.
SENATOR VARE SAYS
RESOLUTION WILL PASS
State Senator Vare said today:
"Every one is in favor of this res
olution, and It will be passed by the
Legislature without any trouble."
(rnoM a STjirr cobhespondent.
HARRISBUIIG, Aprli'll. The first etep
was taken by the Legislature today to
enable Philadelphia to construct subways
and elevated lines under the Taylor plan.
Senator Vare reported from tho Senate
Committee on Municipal Affairs the reso
lution proposing an amendment to the
State Constitution permitting the city of
Philadelphia to Increase Its borrowing
capacity from 7 to 10 per cent, of tho
personal property tax assessment for
port and transit development,
Tho amendment already has passed at
one Besslon of tho Legislature, and now
la scheduled to be rushed through both
branches. Opposition to the amend
ment will not be offered in the Legisla
ture, according to tho program agreed to
by the Republican Organization leaders,
but will be made at tho polls.
Tho proposed amendment, If It is passed
by the present Legislature, will be sub
mitted to the voters of the State for
their ratification next November. The
measure will be on first reading tomor
row and should reach tho House next
week. . .
The Bernthelzel resolutlou. which would
limit the loans under the Increase to
i25iO0O,0O0 a year and make them available
for port Improvements only, will never
get out of committee. Since the question
as to whether this measure had the back,
lng of Senator McNichol was raised, the
Republican Organization leaders have
issued orders to kill tho measure In
committee.
The Vare resolution would amend sec
tion 8 of article 9 of the Constitution.
This resolution, together with a resolu
tion amending the Constitution so that
Philadelphia could borrow JS.OOO.OOO out
right for port Improvement, passed the
last session. Senator Vare early In the
session agreed to kill the amendment for
the J25,00O.OCO loan, as legal authorities
declared It would conflict with the
transit amendment.

CORONER KNIGHT
ENTERS THE FIELD
FOR THE MAYORALTY
Announcement of His Can
didacy Regarded by Poli
ticians as Signal for Bit
ter Factional Fight in
Organization.
Vare Element Friendly, While
Penrose and McNichol Are
Known to Bo Grooming Con
troller Walton for the Re
publican Nomination.
Coroner William It. nKlght, Jr.. of the
tutli ward, today announced his candi
dacy for the Republican Mayoralty
nomination
Coioncr Knight Is a Vnro mnn. It Is.
known that his candidacy Is not looked
upon with favor by Senator Penrose and
Senator McNichol, who hao been gloom
ing City Contioller John M. Wnltun for
the nomination.
Practical Organization politicians said
today tho Knight candidacy announce
ment meant only one thing, nnd thnt wns
a bitter factional contest between tho
Varca and tho Pcnrose-McNtchol divisions
of tho Organization for supremacy, with
but slight hope for a harmonious pri
mary. The opinion was expressed thnt
theie was slight hope for the rival fac
tions deciding upon n compromise -candidate.
Tho prospect of n, bitter struggle for
tho Mayoralty nomination caused rejoic
ing among tho smaller fry organization
politicians, one remarking that "the csjn
was nlways more plentiful and tho monAy
barrel wide open when the big chiefs
scrapped."
I nnnuounclng his candidacy for the
Mayoralty Coroner Knight issued the
follow lng statement.
"I am a candidate for Mayor. I havo
been urged by nhc friends in the 4Gth
Ward and In other sections of tho city
to become a candldato for Mayor. I
rnnsidnr It n. trroat comnlimont for my
constituents to tender me tho honor of
becoming a candldnte for the highest of
fice In the city of Philadelphia. I havo
always been a stanch Republican. Of
course, If my candidacy would cause n
disruption or lack of harmony. I would
be willing to withdraw. I bcllevo that It
Is my duty to accept the offer."
It Is understood that Coroner Knight Is
not unfavorably regarded as n, candidate.
The Vare men, according to political
rumor, are eager that the next Republi
can Mayor of Philadelphia should be a
man of the plain people They favor a
candidate of the old-fashioned type, who
doeBn't possess any "hlgh-browlsm," as
one politician expressed It today, along
the Rialto.
Neither Senator Penrose nor McNichol
as yet has come out publicly In favor
of City Controller Walton, for Mayor.
Concluded on I'age Two, Column SeTcn
Hopper, who has ruled the congregation
"with iron hand," as the discontented
put It, for 15 years.
To all of which Mr. Hopper replied)
"The so-called trouble in the church
doesn't amount to anything.' I don't be
lieve the members working against me
could muster S3 votes out of the 900 In
the congregation."
This question of "votes" refers to the
annual meeting and election of the con.
gregatlon which is to be held tonight at
the church, 51th street and Lansdowne
avenue. It is declared by his opponents
that Mr, Hooper has a "slate" which he
is expecting to "rush through" with
steam-roller methodB.
TO READ "BILfc OF RIGHTS."
It Is even suggested by the opposition
that some one Is preparing fo get up at
the meeting tonight and read a regular
"bill of rights," bristling with "where
ases" and "now, therefores" and "re
solveds," Betting forth the actipns of the
pastor, of allegedly dictatorial nature,
and requesting his resignation.
While the present opposition to the
pastor is said to have been due to Mr.
Hopper's refusal to permit W. S. Latta
to be returned as teacher of a Bible class
for men and women after he had re
moved from the neighborhood and had
transferred his church membership to the
Qverbrook Presbyterian Church, and to
the pastor's organisation of a Bible class
for men ot which he Is himself the
teacher, bis opponent assert that the
foundation of the opposition is deeper
than that

t matkally conducted the affairs, ot the

the Brues were not to have anything
