Weber smashed the front door of 12:5
South street, occupied as a drv goods

and aroused tho merchant and his wife
The two wero so dazed by the smoke that
It wbb all they could do to follow Weber s
order. The bluecoat, carrying their two
children, Idn, 2 months old, and Ethel, 2

the second floor nnd assisted them Into
the yard.
Weber then returned to the house and
found Annie and Philip Slnchuk In the
third floor overcome by smoke. Ho car
ried them to a second-story front window

SENATOR BLAIR LEE SAYS
U. S. SHOULD "SIT TIGHT"
No Timo to Get Excited nnd Urgo
Rash Action, Ho Asserts.
The tlmp Is not ripe for the United
States to take action on tho sinking of
tho Lusitania, said Senator Blair Lee, of
Maryland, at the Aldlne today. Full and
accurate reports of the disaster must bo
obtained, he said, before the problem
would bo put squarely beforo this Gov
ernment. Senator Lee was asked if he thought
an extra session of Congress would be
called.
"You are tha first person who has sug
gested to me the Idea of calling an oxtra
sesil"ti," he said to a caller.
"This point hus not yet been lalsed,"
continued Senator Lee "Official circles as
nell as otlicis arc taking tho situation
calmly and have not yet been called on
to take action As to whether Germany
Is guilty of a breach of International law
it cannot be ascertained until we have
received the full facts of the case. Until
these are submitted tho Administration
cannot consfder the case officially.
"The thing for the United States to do
now Is to sit tight. Americans should not
get excited and urgo rash action, no mat
ter how much their, feelings may be
wrought up over the disaster "
Senator Lee Is here to attend the fu
nortl of C. Clymor Brooke, who wns his
brother-in-law.

U.S. HISTORY REPEATS
IN THIS CITY TODAY
17 Years Ago McKinley Here
Pleaded for Calmness After
Maine's Destruction.
The situation In Philadelphia todav
widespread speculation as to what llws
President Wilson's address at Conven
tlon Hall tonight will follow, In the light
of tha delicate dlplomatlo situation be'
tween this country and Germanv be
cause of the sinking of the Lusitania was
accurately precedented In 1K8 when Presi
dent McKinley visited Philadelphia and
spoke nt the University Day exercises
one week after tho Maine had been blown
up.
On February 16 the battleship, wrecked
by an explosion In Havana Harbor, had
sunk to the bottom, carrying to their
death 251 olllccrs nnd men. By IVnshlng
ton'B Blrthdny public opinion had begun
to nccept the theory of an exterior ex
plosion. Jingoism was running wild
Louder and louder from one end of the
country to the other the cry for war wns
rising.
The occasion for tho speech nt the
Academy of Music was the first public
appeal nnce of tho chief executive nfter
tho disaster. As is the case tonight, all
eyes wero turned on him, nnd It as
generally expected that his utterances
nt that time would clear, ono wnv or
another, tho slttlntlon. While "Washing
ton" was to be the subject of his address,
as was nnd still Is the custom on Uni
versity Day. It was felt that there would
be an opportunity for significant state
ments. Tho address ns delivered was a master
piece of calm, forceful reassurance.
While Mr McKinley did not refer direct
ly to the situation with Spain, the tone
was unmistakable and did much to check
the hysteria at the time. Tho President
sold;
"From the day our flag was unfurled
to tho present hour, no stain of a Just
obligation violated has yet tarnished the
American name. This must and will be
as true In tho future an It hns been In
tho past. fOrent applause and cries of
'Amen'). There will bo prophets of evil
and false teachers Some part of the
column may waver and wander away
from the stnndard, but thero will cv-r
rally around It a mighty majority to pre
serve It stainless nnd In honor." (Ap
plause). Wnr, however, came. On Friday, April
22, hostilities commenced.

Anent recent
occtf ?eices in
the ttading
stamp line
Surely, every wise
person nowadays knows
that if trading stamps
or any other so-called
premium is "given" with
goods, the buyer is pay
ing for what is in reality
supposed to be given.
No, we do not give
stamps but we do give
value and we always did.
Quality for quality our
groceries are as reason
ably marked as in any
store in Philadelphia.
All our goods are intrin
sically worth what we
ask for them and many,
compared with like
quality elsewhere, are
worth more than we
ask. We have held to
the policy of "how
good" rather than "how
cheap" and have based
our prices on the prin
ciple of "Small profits
many times repeated."
A great throng of our
customers have found
this out to their advan
tage. Better join the
throng.
Looking ahead to
