CLAY WITNESS ASKED
DIFFICULT QUESTIONS
BY JUDGE FERGUSON
Former City Architect, De
fending Alleged Conspir
ators to Cheat City, Con
fesses Amazing Igno
rance. Although he did not know thnt there
tens any difference between costs of metnl
mid wood Inth nnd between costs of qunr
. tered white onk and iiuartercd fed oak,
' nhd that there was any mntrrlal saving
x In expehde In the substitution of wood
, wainscoting In walls for mnrble tiles, ac
cording to his testimony, Carl 11, Ellen
xlger, former city architect, was non
plused for a moment at the conspiracy
trial of Clay, Wiggins and Walls this
morning, when Judge Ferguson took a
hand In his cross-examination.
"Jlr, Zllonzlgor," questioned the Judge,
"when you prepared tho bulletin to reduce
the cost of the bathhouse at Montrose
and Uarlen streets, to meet tho limit cost
fixed by Mr. Clay, did you not havo rea
son to believe that the changes you men
tioned In this paper would accomplish tho
end sought"
Tho witness was clcaily staggered by
tho query, and rather lamely explained
' that he had leceived exact Information
from the builder in preparing the bill-
, Ictln.
Itcopcnlng the cross-examination of the
former city architect. Attorney Taulane
began:
"Mr. Zllcnxlger, when you modified the
plans and specifications to substitute
quartered red oak for quartered white
oak In the Interior finish of tho truck
house at 3d and Itace Btrcets, did you
not know that this would effect a con
siderable saving?"
"I did not know."
"Just why did you make the changc7"
"It was solely for tho sake of the ap
pearance. Tho Irregular grain of tho
white oak was much less pleasing than
the straight grain of the red oak."
"Did you not substitute wooden studs
and lath on the second specifications for
metal lath and studs called for In tho
first specifications?"
"Yes sir."
"Did you not know the wooden material
was less costly than the metal?"
'No, sir, 1 did not. I made this change
only because difficulty had been experi
enced In running the electric wires
through the motal lath."
Dropping this line of Inquiry, Attorney
Taullne attempted to ahow that Mr. Zllcn
zlger had certified on the first contract
that work had been done by Wiggins &
- Co. to the nmount of about J17S.O0O. with
out deducting anything for work not done
. under the second contract. Tho witness
would not admit, however, that ho certi
fied separately to the work done undor
three contracts.
"Mr, Zllenzigcr, when you received no
tice that tho contract under tho first
specifications hnd been awarded to John
It. Wiggins & Co., you had already com
pleted the specifications of the second
contract, embodying tho changes you
hnve mentioned, had you not?"
"I had."
"Did you not know that these changes
reduced the cost of tho work In every
Instance?"
"No, I did not know It. The only way
I could learn If there was any difference
. In the cost of the work under the two
contracts was by tho bids on the work
by the contractors."
"Npw, Mr. Zllenzlger," Judge Ferguson
Aratev i- ,'ydjen you- prcpnrd the bul
letin i;ng wie cost oi me uainuouse
at Mone nnd Darlen streets, to meet
the limit cost fixed by Mr. Uljiy. did you
not have reason to believe that these
Items in your bulletin would accomplish
this cheapening?"
"Yes, but I had Information from the
builder upon all these Items."
"But as an architect, Mr. Zllenzlgcr,"
persisted the Judge, "are you not able
to tell the difference In the cost of two
buildings where such exists from their
plans nnd specifications?"
"Not unless thcro Is a very wide dif
ference," replied the witness.
"Now, Mr. Zllenzlger," the Assistant
District Attorney continued, "can you
name one single Item In tho second speci
fication which Increased the cost of tho
buildings at 3d and Itace streets to the
contractors?"
The witness was unable to do so.

his fight until local option has become a
reality In Pennsylvania.
The bill no sooner had been defeated
yesterday than the scores of liquor men
who came here to witness the struggle In
the House flocked to the barrooms and
cafes, and until long after midnight wine,
beer and whisky flowed In a continuous

The Jit drlvors had a Held day. I.ons

Tho vanguard of the host hit Droad
and l.ehlgh at U o'clock. When the
gates opened, two hours Inter, more than
1C00 fans were waiting. Predictions of 11
big crowd were fulfilled nnd then eouic.
13y I o'clock there W113 no moio room In
tho bleachers. Tho covcied stands were
filling rapidly.
enthusiasm ran almost as high as nt
tho woild series gniucs. Kaun cheered
everything in Bight. Alexander especially
got a io.nl reception. Kvery time he
stuck his head out of the dug-out tho
bleachers shook.
The start of play put a terrible dent In
discipline among employe of tho big
Henry Ford Jitney plant, towering over
the field to the north. Heads of the fa
mous $30-a-weok workmen appeared nt
every window.
Hummel's Band started playing early
in tho afternoon and did yeoman seivlco.
Considering Hip fnct Hin '

Pat Moran Is firmly Intrenched In the
opinion thnt the showing made by his
team Is not a flash in the pan. Naturally,
ho doesn't expect to keep up tho paco

season opened, but lie does believe that
If "Dut" Chalmers continues to show tho

terday that a world's scries will be ad

In order to give tlie supporters of the

COURl
It's bad enough to be lame, with one
arm broken and one eye under a green
patch, but when In addition to that a
fellow has lumbago and Is out of work,
the combination Is enough to make one
slightly gloomy.
This Is a brief outline of the troubles
erf Richard Flynn, and he looked like a
walking hospital as ho unfolded a long
tale of mlserj' to passers-by In the neigh
borhood of 4th and Oxford streets. The
plea, managed to drat, considerable loose
change from those approached and then
Policeman Kayeer questioned Flynn. He
noticed on close Inspection that the eye
unfler the. green patch was ' perfectly
good, also that the fingers at the end
of the broken arm moved too nimbly for
such a. condition) When ho asked the
unfortunate beggar how he broke his
arm, the man seemed dazed and couldn't
tell clearly how the accident happened.
Nor did he know the name of the hos
pital where It was treated.
"I think you need a home," said the
cop, and he took Flynn to the Front and
Master streets station.
The beggar told Magistrate Scott that
he lived near 13th and Winter streets.
"I Jive In Summer street In the winter
time," ha said, "while In the spring I
live out In the Falls."
At this point the prisoner dropped a
dime on the floor and In hi haste to
plok It up he forgot he was lame.
The policeman then reminded the Judge
that Flynn' arrest had suddenly cured
him of all hi Ills.
ThafB true," said the magistrate, "and
In view of the high coat, of living I will
end him to a cheap summer resort
known as Holmeaburg-on-tbe-Dolaware."
And that's where Flynn will spend hi
week-ends and mid-weeks, too, for three
month.
When a man likes booze better than his
children he cannot expect mercy from

ufaclurers, unless Governor Brumbaugh
"shows signs of being an Organization
mini from now on," as ono Senator said
today.
The Mtunlton Is ten'c, nnd Is full of
pos-ilbltltles of n, now Republican leader
fthlp that would rejmenato tho parly In
Pennsylvania nnd remove from It the
stigma that Its alliance with tho llmior
ting In the past has given It. This sit
uation Is being kept tenso by tho wave
of Insurgency against the Governor that
hns swept over the Legislature following
the defeat of local option.
WANT TO COEHCB GOVfiUNon.
Tho legislative leaders today, with tho
exception of Senators Vnre and McNIchot,
who have pledged themselves to support
the Governor's child labor nnd workmen's
rmnponsnllon measures, said that they
arc "willing lo be friendly lo the Gov
ernor If he shows himself to bo nn Organ
ization man from now on."
Being "an Organization man" with them
means thnt ho should namo men selected
by the Republican Organization tenders
for the appointments which he Is expect
ed to make shortly, as well as discontinue
his fight for local option. In other words,
Governor Brumbaugh hns virtually been
served with notlco that he must "lay
down" or there will be a fight.
Tho patronage club nnd the campaign
next year against tho members who voted
against local option yesterday, which
Governor Brumbaugh threatened during
hi fight for tho passage of the Williams
bill, aro feared by tho members of tho
Penrose-f'row faction.
The Public 3ervico fommlslon ap
pointments nre causing moro worry than
nnj other patronage. The Senate Com
mittee on Kxecutlve Nominations, which
had piomlscd to send back the Tener
nominations this week, has not done so,
nnd the Senate hns ndjourned until next
week. As a mntter of fact, however, the
opinion is gcuetal hero that tho recall of
the noinlnntlouH by tho Governor took
them out of tho hands of tho Senate en
tirely. GOVERNOR HOLDS CONFERENCE.
Governor Brumbaugh told the members,
who led tho fight for local option In tho
House, and who conferrod with him to
day, that ho Intondcd to carry tho fight
next year Into tho districts of the mem
bers who voted ngnlnst the Williams
bill.
lie will make an especially haid light
against tho 30 members who pledged their
olcs for the bill, nnd then voted against
It. Hefoto tho bill camo up for a vote,
the Governor told the local optlonlstB ho
felt certain of 10S votes for tho meas
ure. Ho also Intimated at the conference
that ho would remember, In the way of
appointments, any members who vnfiil
for the bill who might bo defeated for
re-election next yenr.
Tho Governor, after the conference,
mndo tho announcement Hint tho light
would bo carried on to a finish. Ho said
he would stand behind the statement ho
lstied last night. In which ho said ho
was In the light to a finish.
CONFERENCE TODAY.
The Governor, however, Is not giving
the recalcitrant members of the Legis
lature much opportunity to conjecture
about tils Intentions. Tho Wllllnmi hill
had scarcely been defeated esterduy
when ho started to rail In tho local op
tion lenders In tho House and discuss with
them plans for cairylng on the fight. Last
night he called a conference of the lend
ers In the local option mute-incut for to
day Governor Brumbaugh is certain of hav-
Ing tho entho independent strength of
tho volors of Pennsylvania behind him
In the event of a fight for the rejuvena
tion of the purt. Theso forces inclmlo
tho Washington party members, accord
ing to a Wnsblngton party State leader
today. It also includes tho men who
supported J. Benjamin Dlmnilck for tho
Republican nomination for United States
Senator a ear ago. Altogether, the
voters upon whose support tho Governor
Is assured of at tho start number more
than :50,000.
PENROSE MAY TAKE PART.
Meanwhile, while the situation Is shap
ing itself, the Republican Organization
leaders aro endeavoring to obtnin every
odvantage they can. One of the moves
to take advantage of Governor Brum
baugh's defeat in tho first stage of his
tight for local option, that has been
talked of, Is the expected arrival of Sena
tor Penrose, to "discuss legislation" with
the Organization lendcis In tho Legisla
ture. Tho Senator has not openly taken
nny bond In the affairs of tho Leglslttiura
thus far.
The child labor bill Is also being held
In committee In the Senate as another
move It was said laHt night that the
bill, by a vote of 9 to fi. hud been amended
In the Judiciary Special Committee of the
Senate, so as to provide for a Dl-hour
week, and so as to 1 educe tho ago limit
for newsboys from 12 to 10 years. This
Is not true. It was said on good authority

Monday night and take action on the

the youngsters were lost In the shuffle,

McNICHOL "FIXED" LOCAL OPTION,
SAYS DISGUSTED VARE COHORT
Over Whisky Glass Henchman of "Downtown" Leader Bewails
Waning Power Never a Doubt of Legislative Victory for
Rum Hosts After They Got "Mac's" Support
The question was: What do the people
whom tho saloon hurts most think of the
victory the saloon won In the Legislature
yesterday, these people being tho men nnd
women who are called, roughly speaking,
"the poor" (nnd entirely too roughly, by
the way, very often), when and whore
could they be expected to express them
selves most nptly on the setback of this
local option movement? Evidently last
night, In tho saloons they frequent, when
tho news was hot from tho griddle of tho
evening newspapers of this city.
"Hut what I can't sec," said tho man
who conceived this Inquiry to tho man
who wns called upon to mako It, "Is how
you, a teetotaler, can get theso neonle
to express themselves naturally over their
beer."
The greatest living Journalist Instantly
replied:
"I shall feign a semi-Intoxicated condi
tion nnd go from saloon to saloon asking
for lemon and seltzer, an absolutely non
alcoholic beverage, often imbibed by men
attempting to recover from tho effect
of liquor. Thus they will not suspect no
and wilt talk fluently, holtevlng mo to bo
sympathetic with them In their vile tnstcs.
1 shall report to you at an early hour,
sir."
"You will find local option the solo topic
of conversation," said his superior offi
cer, "In all tho saloons. Don't exagger
ate; simply repeat accurately what you
hear."
Tho following scenes wern observed
and conversations overheard In the bar
rooms ami at the times Indicated:
8:16 p. m. Front street nnd Fnlrmount
avenue. Stevedores and seafaring men.
Tho bartender: "Come on now, Jo, wull
' behave? Hey. quit lurching up ngln
the gen'I'man the like 0' that! Naw, ye
don't get no moro whisky; ye'll bo get
ting out Into the street In a minute,"
Tall drunken man (beaming upon tho In
vestigator): "'Snlco boy, Isn't ho? Was
snh 1 11 sody water drink nice boy's got

What's that fcr tho consumption? Well,
maylin It's bctter'n lettln' them doctors
cut you up, boy. Fer them doctors Is
cra7y with their knives"
Tho bartondcr (pouring a steady stream
Into tho Investigator's other ear): "Ho
goes down to Havre do Grace with $S0 In
Ids pocket nnd drunk nt that. An' ho gets
n CO-to-1 shot and wins. Then ho comes
back to Philly nnd makes a book down
Chestnut etlcct on races and baseball, loo.
(And while he's still drunk ho makes M,-
OX). Then he goc3 to Palm Beach."
Tho Investigator (after a pause):
"Well, they put ono over at Ilarrlsburg
today." (Note This Is bnrroom way of
saying, "Local option was defeated In
House today.")
The bartender (Instantly grave, as
though a great breach of etlquct had oc
curred, hut nevertheless determined to be
polite):
"Oh, yes; es, Mr." Walks coldly awav.
"BILLY" IS IMPATIENT
AT LACK OF CONVERTS
Sunday Openly Shows Vexation
at Failure of "Trail-hitting"
Program.
PATKRSON, N. J.. April Dl-Oiic hour
and 2i minutes of preaching nnd praying
netted "Billy" only nine converts yester
day. That wuh tho coolest response he
has received sn far In hl.i Patersou cam
paign, and, though ho won 218 more
souls at night, ho was discouraged, for
never In his moro than 20 yenrs or evan
gelism had "Billy" known such a "frost"
as only nlno converts on tho "sawdust
trail."
The smallest number of trail hitters at
any ono service in Philadelphia was 91.
When "Billy" got out of bed this morning
nnd wrestled with a recalcitrant grape
fiult, ho didn't llko to think of tho nine.
On tho contrary, ho was prone to think
rather of the petition sent to him by
scores of ministers of the city that he
should allow them to hold evangelical
meetings In their churches every Sunday
from now on. while ho preached to the
men who were fortunato enough to get
into tho tabernacle.
"Billy" has not yet decided whether he
will allow tho churches of the city to
swing open their doors whllo the taber
nacle services are 011 Sunday afternoons
and nights. It is likely that he will, for
tho point has been driven homo to him
that nbout 10.000 men last Sunday were
unable to hear "Chickens Come Homo to
Roost," and It is more than likely that 1111
equnl number will be turned away from
tho pine doors when ho preaches "The
Devil's Boomerang, or Hot Cakes Off the
Griddle," on Sunday.
Tho ministers ot this lostless city uro
saing. "Nothing ever wakened Paterfcon
us 'Hilly ' has wakened It. We've got to
have more churches Just to accommodate
the overflow from the tabernacle."
He that as It may, "Billy" felt pretty
bad last night when not ono of the Pas
saic County courthouse employes at the
tabernacle "hit the trail." There were WO
such In a delegation there, nnd they were
led by Sheriff Amos Radcllff, of Passaic
County. "Billy" exhorted them to "hit
the trail" and Implored Radcllff to lead
them down to take his hand, but nary a
man stirred from tho seat In which he
comfortably sat singing "Where Is My
Wandering Boy Tonight?"
Everybody here Is talking of that In
effectual call, Just as everybody Is talking
of the coming to Paterson pon Saturday
of 100 girls from Philadelphia. The girls
were workers In the campaign In the city
of Brotherly Love, nnd this Jersey town
Is prepared to do almost everything for
them. The houses of the wealthy will be
thrown open to the young women, and at
the tabernacle they will bo called upon to
pump real enthusiasm into the meetings
with tho famous hymn, "Christ for Phila
delphia "
Their coming and preparations for It
concern Pntereonlans today more than
the threats of another ararchlst invasion,
led by Emma Goldman and Benjamin
Redman.

DR. PHILIP B. HAWK
SUES FOR DIVORCE
Names S i x Corespondents.
Wife's Attorney Says He "In
humanly Turned Her Out."
Doctor Philip B. -Hawk, professor of
chemistry and toxicology nt tho Jefferson
Medical College, who brought suit for
dlvorco against his wife, Ellen Henrietta
Hawk, unmlng six corespondents, Is as
sailed for "Inhumanly turning Ills wife
out of doors" by ex-Attorney General
John C. Hell, attorney for Mrs. Hawk,
to whom Mrs. Hawk referred questioners
today. Tho names of tho sis corcspond
cnte, which noclor Hnwk says ho will
make public If the case Is tried In court,
nre still kept secret. They nro under
stood lo bo prominent nnd well-known
socially.
Mrs. Hawk has bcon living with her
mother, Mrs. I. J. Benton, of 420 South
Broad street, for the last week. She
refused today to discuss the case.
According to Mr. Bell. Doctor Hawk left
their homo at 4227 Baltimore avenuo In
January whllo Mrs. Hawk wns nt a
"Billy" Sunday meeting In tho tabernaclo.
Proceedings woro begun for Mrs. Hawk
yesterday to recover her two children, 7
and S years old, who aro with their
father at their home.
WIFE'S ATTORNEY DENIES CHAIIGH
"It has never been my practice to try
my cases In tho newspapers," Mr. Bell
said this morning. "I shall not do so In
this instance. All thnt I will say Is that
Mrs. Hawk Is absolutely Innocent of tho
charges made against hor. Doctor Hawk
threatened to glvo publicity to his false
and defnmatory chargo If sho dared to
mako defense.
"Sho has at all times protested her
Innocence, nnd he and his counsel wero
notified that she would undoubtedly de
fend tho case. Thereupon, In accordanco
with his threat, ho has resorted to pub
licity. Ho seems to lack common
decency and to be without respect for
his children.
"He left their home In West Philadel
phia tho latter part of January without
a word of explanation, whllo Mrs. Hawk
nnd her mother wero at the tabernacle.
"Sho returned nnd resided with hor
children for somo 10 weeks, when ho In
humanly turned her out of doois, though
sho wns III In bed and under tho care of
physicians and was taken then to the
Jefferson Hospital whero sho was under
the same physicians' care for a week. Ho
took possession of the children.
"Though still weak, sho left tho hos
pital and went to her mother on Sat
urday last, whero sho 18 now residing.
Her mother, with her daughter, saw me
nt the beginning of tho week, and yes
terday wo began proceedings for the re
covery of tho children. In duo courso
nnd nt tho proper time 1 shall defend
the dlvorco enwo against her. But ns
I said nt tho outset, I do not wish to
try the case In tho newspapers and will
simply repeat that I nm confident that
In tho hearing of the divorce case I
shall establish her complete Innoconce."
In tho libel filed by Doctor Hawk, his
wife is accused of unfaithfulness. Stories
of nffalrs during summer vacations form
the basis of the complaints against her.
