L BALA HOME CAMPAIGN
?7000 Gained in Three Days of Hunt
for Old Folks' Refuge.
The fact that always in the past In
times of financial stress some one has
come foiwuid in tlmo to rescue "God's
Home." glvos hope to hundreds of per
sons who are praying for the success of
the campaign to raise ?200,ono for the
Presbjterlan Home for Aged Couples and
Aged Men at Bala.
For nearly 30 years tho home has been
known as "God's Home." It has sheltered
hundreds of nged people who, by some
turn of fortune's wheel, have been ren
' dered helpless and homeless. Charitable
persons have come forward generously
In response to appeals for money. At one
tlmn the home was In danger of being
closed A dwelling houso at 65th and
' Vine streets was purchased nt a cost of
t&00 Ono hundred dollars was paid down
and the balance uf the Hrat payment of
I150O was pledged. As the time for pay
ment approached there was only J8I3 In
the treasury, and extension of time was
denied the managers. It was n crucial
moment The managers, led by Mrs. C.
E. Roney, knelt in prayer.
"Father, If this work meet not Thy ap
proval, hedge the way about us so that
we cannot go forward; If It be of Thine
own planting, send us tha means to carry
on the work."
That was the prayer
As the last words left the. speaker's
mouth Mrs William If. Smith, of Eddlng
ton one of the managers, came In,
apologized for being late and presented a
cnech- tor jaw, the gift ot .Mrs. Matthew
Balrd
The grand total ot contributions In cash
and pledges Is now around 17000. Three
days of the 12-day campaign have passed
and tho enthusiasm of the young women
workers Is Increasing. Tho usual reports
of team captali a will he submitted at a
luncheon at tho headquarters at noon to

LOCALOPTION'SFOES
NOW SEEK TO HEDGE
Men Who Killed Bill Anxious to
Get Prohibition Resolution
Out of Committee.
HAnntaBOno. April 23 -A movement
Is on foot among those back of the local
option movement to prevent the Legisla
ture from taking a vote on the Olcnn res
olution, submitting the question of State
wide prohibition to the people In the form
of A constitutional amendment. This
resolution is In the House Law nnd Or
der Committee, which has distinct local
option leanings, and an effort will bo
mnde to keep II there
In 1913 n number of the S3 members who
voted ngalnst local option were Instru
mental in getting the prohibition reso
lution out of rnmmllteo and the total
vote of no, uhi.h n received, and de
velopments during the legislative cam
paign of last vear Indicate that some
of th anti-local ot'tlonlsts tmr.l rheir
stand on prohibition to square themselves
with their constituents for having voted
against locnl option.
Thl3 year tho temperance untlment
has grown so throughout the Slate, that
many more men who voted for one reason
or nnm' i against It would be glad to
Priil e ,. for nn opportunity to hedge
In i'V , mr the prohibition resolution
lh' i . uipe of which would hnve no Irn
mediiU. crfert. and which would In all
likelihood fall In the Senate oven though
It got through the House
It Is reported about the Capitol todnv
that Republican leaders nre prepared to
line up behind the Governor even before
the close of the seislon and are not
nverse to having It become known that
they favor the calling together of the
State Committee not later than next
January to declare for the enactment of
a local option law two vears hence
Such a move. It Is believed, would put
ft stop In the talk of putting Into the
field next .vear n Brumbaugh local option
ticket, headed liv the Governor ns a can
didate for President, and carrying the
light Into each legislative district This
plan has been considered by those who
nre determined to have n local option
law at any cost, and while the Governs
has not discussed the subject with nny
bod.v who will talk about It, there nre
those who believe he would not hesitate
to adopt such a radinil course If lie
deemed It necessaiy. It Is to head off
any such disastrous move as this ns w-ll
as ro nppense the public that tho Repub
lican organization Is said to he willing
to do anvthlng that will Insure It the sup
poit of the local oprlonlsts next vear.
Governor Brumbaugh said today that
he had been Informed by pi eminent lead
ers of the Republican party that there
would not be much tinubls In getting a
local option plank In the next Stnto plat
form. WIGGSsUTALr
RESPONSIBILITY FOR
CONTRACTS ON WALLS
Contractor Disclaims
Knowlede of Contracts
and Specifications Fate
of Clay and Codefendants
May Go to Jury Tomor
row. The fate of Henry Clay, former Direc
tor ot Public Safetj John It. Wiggins
nnd Wlllard H. Walls, contractors, ac
cused of conspiracy to defraud the city,
will be In the hands of the Jury by to
morrow noon, unless unforseen delays
develop. The defense closed Its case nt
noon today.
Congressman George S Graham, hief
counsel for the defense, was willing to
let his case go to tho Jury without a
Kummlng-up nddress, but Joseph A.
Tnulane, tho Assistant District Attorney
was not. Accordingly. It was estimated
that two hours will be consumed by each
Bide In the final arguments. The trial,
which Is tho second for the three dc
Uefunts, started April 5.
Mr. Wiggins was called ns a witness
for the defense today.
Itesponslbillty for the entire work of
estimating, preparing rchcdules, ranking
bids and accepting contrncts for work
for the firm was placed firmly on the
shoulders of Mr Walls, treasurer of tho
corporation of John It. Wiggins & Co.,
contractors, by Mr. Wiggins, the presi
dent He repudiated any hint of suspicion on
his own part against Mr. Walls' Integrity,
but declared that Walls was the one man
In tho firm who would best know of any
fraudulent or Irregular practice by the
company. And Wlllard M. Walls, as testi
fied by his physician this morning, is too
111 to come to court ns a witness.
r. Wiggins testified that he was out of
town on his vncatlonM from the first
week In March till the 29th of that month
In 1310, when his firm obtained contracts
f miini.inni wnrlt nt 2d and Race nnd
16th and Catharine streets. ie disclaim
ed all knowledge of details of the work
and said lie had nothing to do with the
contracts oxcept to sign them as execu
tive head of his firm.
Taking up the work at 16th and
Catharine streets, under cross-examination,
Assistant District Attorney Toulano
shot a fusllade of questions nt the wit
ness tending to bring out any knowledge
of alleged cheapening In the work under
substitution of contracts giving excesslvo
profits to WlgglriB & Co The queetlons
were flatly denied or successfully parried.
Turning to the wprk at 3d nnd Ttace
Btreets, Mr Toulane asked:
"Mr". Walls, did you not know that
a second contract had been awarded for
the work at 3d and Race streets?
"No, I did not."
"But you signed It" ,,,.
"Yes But I signed hundreds of con
tracts without knowlns in details what
they were for."
"Did you know what the original specifi
cations attached to the first bidding con
tract comprised?"
"No."
"Did you not know that specifications
belonging to the second contract had
been substituted for the specifications In
tended to go with the first contract?"

ATTORNEY ACCUSED
OF CONCEALING WILL
Woman Says Man Calling Him
self John G. Johnson's
Nephew Has Held Up $1000
Bequest.
A ilnathbcd (-tup. in which a woman
willed to a faithful nurse $10) as a re
ward for her services uas rehenrsed to
day In thn court room of Magistrate
Roonoy.
At the conclusion of the hearing, John
G. Johnson, Jr.. an attorney, was held
under $1(0 ball for court, upon charges
mnde bv Mnry J. Carinll, of r.121 German
town avenuo, a nuihe for a generation In
the homo of Emma Blckings, member of
an old Gcrmnntown family.
The frail, little woman accused the
lawjer of failure to answer n citation Is
sued by the H'glster of Wills In Novem
ber, 1011, inquiring him to produce a will
In which JlOiX) uas lft to her by Miss
Blcklngs. She tearfully explained tli.it
her pay had alwn.vR been scanty and onco
when her mistress was in financial dllfl
culty she withdrew her own savings from
tho bank that the patient's Inst days
might be comfortable. For three .vears.
prior to the woman's death, she received
no wages
MI.'.m Carioll declares that tho defend
ant Is a nephew of John G. Johnson, the
famous corporation attorney. Tho latter
denies that he has ever seen the accused
man.
Johnson. Jr, was brought to the Magis
trate's ofilce on S'ansom street, above
15th. In the custody of Detectives Ayrea
nnd Walters. On the wny to the court,
according to the detectives, ho admitted
that he had onoe held tlm will, but that
ho lost tin- document. In his pockets,
when ho was arrested, his captors found
many feet of rope. This, he told th.j
pollre, he Intended to use to "tie up
books."
Miss Carroll, s,n nervous thai she
could scarcely testify, said that she was
In the sick room of her old mistress
when tlio will was drafted. She heard
the testament rend nnd knew that $1000
nan neen uevtsed to her for her faithful
services. She said that the defendant
disappeared with the will, and when she
pleaded that he surrender It on various
occasions lie only "guve me promises."
Subsequently Dr. John McClosuey,
whom she named as one of the witnesses
of the will, consulted C. Stuart Patter
son, Jr. an attorney. The latter urged
her to have Johnson arrested, but she was
unwilling to take such uctlons because
she believed that some day Johnson
would keep his word and enable her to
collect the JI000.
The other witness to the will, accord
ing to the plaintiff, was the Rev. Father
Charles McAvoy. The dying womnn. she
Bald, would not sign the will until she
saw her nurse In the room. When the
Instrument had been witnessed, Johnson
signed It as the attorney. "Ho went to
the dining room," she said, "put It In his
pocket and then disappeared."
The decedent owned a house In Chest
nut Hill worth $6500. She had other prop,
erty, but the exact value of the estate
has not been determined. M. B. Elwert.
counsel for the plaintiff, showed that pro
ceedlngs Involving tho probate of the will
had been Instituted ten years ago. He
also showed that about a year ago tho
accused member of the bar had been
orderedvto produce the testament.
Robert H Irwin, messenger In the of
fice of the Register of Wills was one of
several witnesses. He testified to the de.
livery of the citation papers. There was
considerable dispute In the court concern
ing the time of Miss Blcklng's death.
The court room was crowded several
houra before the hearing was begun.
Counsel for the defense asked that It be
postponed, but later withdrew his peti
tion. I'hiladcIphianH Wed at Elkton

POLICE MOUNTS STARS
AT HORSE SHOW
Polo Ponies Vie With Depart
ment's Horses for Place of
Honor on Program.
The best thing nbout nn Indooi hoise
show, all othT things being equal. Is tho
fnct that It makes little difference
whether It rains or not. As a mere mat
ter of convenience, the horse has to yield
to the automobile when It ronres to get
ting to the Third Ileglrnt-nt Armory on an
unsettled day llko this. It Is a very sim
ple matter to hop into a limousine, go
somewhere and hop out.
But perhaps this matter-of-fat'tness
that is the most practical virtue the
nutomobllc has Is why It will never sup
plant Its living, breathing forerunner In
interest for numerous sport devotees
An automobile Is .1 matter of chauffeur
and garage, while a bluo ribbon winner
nt Ilrond and Wharton streets means
months of care nnd tender attention. It
means a little personal sacrifice, more
than dollars and cents, on the part of Its
ow tier
The first appearance of William It.
Wonamaker, .Ir.'s, hackney harness pair,
Eve and Suavo. was a feature of this
afternoon's program. Eve nnd Suave were
picked up. comparatively unknown. Inst
summer, by Mr. Wnnamnker at Roches
ter, where they wero shown by a fnrmer.
Their winning of the blue ribbon in tho
reserved championship class at the Now
York show last winter was one of tho
big surprises of that meeting.
Reginald C. Vnnderbllfs Judgment In
(Warding the team the prize at that time
has since been vindicated by a recent
announcement of the Amerlcnn Hackney
Horse Association, to the effect that Eve
nnd Suave, although heretofore unlisted,
upon Investigations had been found to
bo a half-bred and a full-breed hnckney,
respectively.
Spectacular riding was provided on the
program of tho second day of the show.
The headlong dashing polo pony showed
his speed and, whot Is Just as Important
In today's rivalry, his form.
Another feature was the contest for
Hnrry D. Hollow-ay's cup bv children not
over 15 jenrs of age Everything was
dene by the youngsters themselves. They
led their ponies Into the ring. The car
riage and harness were In readiness, nnd
they did the work ot harnessing without
assistance, and then drove around the
ring.
Then there were 13 police mounts,
fchown at walk, trot and canter. The
winner receives the cup presented by
Mrs. E. S. Whltaker. All the horses In
this class are owned by the Philadelphia
Police Department.
