FEDERATION OF LABOR
ENDORSES SUFFHAGE
Delegates to State Convention,
By Vote of 154 to 48, Pledge
Support to Women.
HARRISBURO, May 13. After a bit-
tor fight, led by representatives of unions
amilated with tho brewing and distilling
interests, tho delegates to tho convention
of tho Pennsylvania Federation of Labor
today adopted a resolution Indorsing
woman suffrage. Tho voto was 151 to 4S.
Tho battlo on tho floor of tho conven
tion was marked by tho presenco of Mrs,
O. D. Ollphant, an nntt-suffragtst from
Trenton, N. J who, dissatisfied with the
hearing given hor on tho opening day of
tho convention again attemptod to place
tho nntls' caso boforo tho delogatos. Half
a dozen representatives of tho unions
mainly connected with tho liquor Inter
ests, fought hard In hor behalf, but tho
chair ruled that only recognized delegates
should bo granted tho privilege of tho
floor to discuss tho suffrago resolution.
In giving this decision. President Maurer
explained that both 1 o nntls and tho
suffragists had an opportunity Tuesday
to present their rcspectlvo cases beforo
tho convention and that furthor presenta
tions from either Mrs. Ollphant or Mrs.
Gertrudo Brcslau Fuller, who had rep
resented the suffrages, wero unneces
sary. Ho was suppvtcd ln this stand
by a majority of the delegates, but It was
only after a Seated .discussion led by
dedogates from Philadelphia that tho
matter whb dismissed and the vote taken
on tho resolution calling for tho Federa
tion to support the suffrage amendment
at the polls this year.
Prior to tho appearance of Mrs.
Ollphant, vigorous arguments in favor of
tho convention supporting the woman suf
frage resolution were presented by
"Stevo" McDonald, President of tho
Scranton Central Labor Union, and
"Dave" Williams, of Allontown. Both
speak fs urged" tho delegates to remem
ber that it was tho working woman who
needed tho ballot and that to ronounceV
f.er right would mean to bo disloyal io
tho baslo principles of organized labor.
JANE ADDAMS DEPLORES
TALK OF WAR IN U. S.
American Woman in London Has
Faith in Wilson.
LONDON, May 13.
"Whatever might be tho wisest thing
to do, going to war would bo tho most
fatal," wan Miss Jano Addams' com
ment on the position of the United
States with regard to the Lusltanla case,
"The action to be taken 19 a question
for tno wlso men of tho nation. I havo
unlimited faith In President Wilson. Ho
Is absolutely safe," Miss Addams pro
ceeded. "Of course, It Is abominable,
horrible, if one realizes the feelings of
nil concerned, however remotely. As
psychologists state, grief and strain are
akin to Irritation, and tho present out
burst of feeling Is only to bo expected.
"At the same time, while I appreciate
their feelings and absolute horror of the
Incident, yet I afllrra tha war should
be the last tiling America should think
of. To go to war would be to neutralize
our powers for good."
"HONEST TIM" TO GET BIG SEND-OFF
ON SECOND LAP OF POLICE CAREER
Veteran "Cop," Guardian of Tenderloin, First Resents Idea of
Loud Dispatch to Twenty Years of More Work, But Is
Reconciled With Explanation.
It may be a good thing after all that
there aro to be practically no refresh
ments at Metropolitan Hall tonight, when
most of the great men in the world will
unite ln giving Timothy Cavanaugh the
finest send-off a sood "cop" ever had.
"Send-off?" yelled "Tim," when he
heard that word used loosely around the
10th and Buttonwod streets station.
"What d' y' mean send-off? Ye'll sure
have the time of your life trying to send
me oft anywhere, with me holding on to
my lob for M years and In the .same dis
trict! Oh, y' mean a send-off on 20 more
years of being a cop. Wel. I BOt 20
more in me at that, and don't y' forget
it "
The reason why satisfaction is ex
pressed at the lack of refreshments Is
that if thero were some, why, somebody
might get fresh and call Tim ''honest."
That's the one thing he can't stand. For
a fifth of a century he's been called (be
hind his back, of course). "Honest Tim"
Cavanaugh, and whenever some one made
a slip and let him hear it, he let put a
roar to the effect that it was an Insult
to every man on the force, by implica
tion to single out one of them and call
i. !.. mot h though all policemen
weren't honest as sunlight streaming
through a newly washed window.
So the laconic message which came
from the 10th ahd Buttonwood streets
..! thi mnmlnr. ln regard to the
affair -tonight, was to be expected, to witl
No, there wilt be no refreshments:
ti there will be lots of other thlnga
to make Up for this dearth. There will be
a band and bunches of music, and the
Director of Publlo Safety and talent
(that ia. real talent, like playing a violin
with your feet or danolng on your head
and Juggling eggs "with your toea-real
talent from vaudeville shows, and a good
deal more difficult work than Juat alttlng
at a desk and being Director), and
speeches that make people laugh,
and the, Superintendent of Police, and
peechea that make people cry, because
even policemen cry when one of them,
has been on the force to year. But there

TWO BUILDINGS IN NEW
OPERATION COLLAPSE
Three-story Structurea Crash to
Ground and Another May
Fall Drainage Blamed.
Two structures In an operation of S3
new dwellings ncarlng completion, be
tween 11th and 12th streets nnd Dickin
son and Tasker streets, coltnpsed early
loday. Several hundred occupants of
surrounding houses wero aroused by tho
crash, and ran Into tho street In their
night clothing. Another house, at the
southeast corner of 12th nnd Lint streets,
Is expected to collapse.
The operation Is In chargo of Margolin

golin, of tho firm, says tho collapse of
tho two dwellings, each of which was
three stories, was due to poor drainage.
Workmen say tho cement was of a poor
qunllty and so was washed out by tho
rain.
One of the dwellings was at the south
east 'corner of 12th and Cross streets and
the other nt tho northeast corner of 12th
nnd Lint streets. They fell In such a
tnannor ns to block traffic In tho two
streets nnd partially In 12th street.

SHEATZ SAILS FOR MEXICO
Former State Senator Receiver for
Lumber Company.
John O. Sheatz, former Stato Trcaeuror
of Pennsylvania, and a resident of this
city, sailed for Mexico today. Ho will
take over tho receivership of tho Inter
national Lumber and Development Com
pany, a task to which ho was recently
appointed by tho United States District
Court.
Mr. Sheatz will proceed immediately to
the Snn Padlo hacienda of tho company,
at Champoton, Campeche. He ia accom
panied by C. B. Hobart, a graduato of
the engineering college of Cornell Uni
versity, appointed general superintendent
of tho property; Admiral Nelson Little,

will be no women there to aeo them give
way to such weakness.
No women! It's to be a stag affair, an
Idea that sprang as by Inspiration from
the brain of some genius on the force.
"Tim" being too modest to read this, It
will be possible to revert to that title of
his, "honest." In the days when he first
began to swing a club In the narrow lanes
of Percy and Noble and Quarry Btreets
It was a feat to be honest for five min
utes ot one time, because the town was
"wide open" and the Tenderloin was
frankly bad, as bad as It could be. Po
liceman were hardly respected if they did
not accept bribes to permit the various
horrors of that district to continue.
But Tim Cavanaugh refused to bo In
timidated and insisted upon his unique
experiment of being honest. And so he
prospered, till now he is a street ser
geant and Is married and has a fine boy
of nve, who is going to be a policeman,
and he advises all young policemen to
fall In love and get married, and be
honest.
And that is why the Director and the
Select and Common Councilmen from the
13th and Hth Wards. J, p. Flaherty,
Harry F. Kennedy, William II. Jones and
Timothy J. McCarthy will be there to
night in the hull at Franklin Btreet and
Falrmount avenue, and why the Knights
of Columbus badge of honor, a gold
charm for his watch chain, will be pre
sented to Tim, and why the entire police
force of the district will turn out, so that
they'll have to get "cops" from other
uisincis to nn up ine gaps on S3 empty
beats.

Continued from Tore One
Keegon'fl case If the man were put on
tho witness stand,
Mr. Welch said he did not take tho
Colonel's claim seriously,
"I, don't see much In any of It," he
said, "nnd furthermore, who ever said
Mr. Kcegan was a real Colonel?" Ho
was told that Colonel Kcegan organized
"Keegan's Brlgado" during the Spanish
war nnd was nt tho head of It.
"I'll find out," ho said, nnd cnllcd some
one on the telephone. Tho person replied
that he had never heard Mr. Keegan had
been commissioned colonel,
"There, you see," Mr. Welch an
nounced, "I told you so. We'll Just tear
this thing down piece by piece. There's
nothing to It,"
Hut Colonel Keegan Insists there Is.
He Is moro nnd moro Insistent ns tho

I found when I took possession of my

No; tho marble dog Is not there, Tho

It dovelopcd today that tho liniment

Colonel Keegan believes so.
ALL-NIGHT COURT WILL
SIT AT 8TH DISTRICT
Mayor and Director Porter Se
lect Station at Tenth and
Buttonwood Streets.
Tho Sth pollco dlstrlot station, 10th
nnd Buttonwood streets, was designated
today ns tho location for tho All-Night
Court authorized by a recent Act of As
sembly. Mayor Blnnkenburg nnd Director
Porter, of tho Department of Public
Safety, mado this choice, at a conference
this morning. Tho chlof reason for
rhooslng the Sth district-headquarters In
piefcrcncototho courtroom In tho ccn
trat station, City Hall, Is that tho 10th
street houso has sleeping accommoda
tions sultablo for tho presiding Magis
trate. City Hall has no such provisions
nt present.
It is understood that tho creation of
tho AH-Nlght Court will not do nwny
with tho regular night hearings held In
City Hall, llowover, this point hns not
been definitely settled. President David
Scott, of tho Hoard of Muglstiatos, said
that n meeting of tho pollco Judges will
bo held wlhln a short tlmo to chooso
tho InglstriUo to presldo at tho new
court. Ho added Hint tho Sth District
was chosen to obvlato any doubt that
may nriso as to tho authority of the
Board of Magistrates to choose a Judgo
for City Hall hearings.
The act of Assembly, creating tho all
night court calls for hearings between 10
p. m. nnd sunrlso as tho cases are
brought In. A reason given is thnt most
of those held over for morning hearings
aro discharged, and nn Immediate ar
raignment would prevent keeping a man
in Jail over night when thero Is no legal
reason to hold him.

Cries of murder from tho Warner home
brought Policeman Maclntee to the scene,
nnd ho stopped n domestic battle with
his club and took Warner to the Rldgo

Mrs. Warner unfolded a long talo of
woe, which showed that her husband
divided his time between tho pawn
broker's shop and tho saloon. A visit to
tho former was essential to a vteit to tho
latter. As a result, tho Jewelry and
household effects greatly diminished and
Mrs. Warner began to havo fears for tho

life was spent chiefly In dodging blows

MOUNTED POLICEMAN TO YIELD .
TO MOTORCYCLIST AND AVIATOR
Captain Mills, Formerly of Traffic Squad, Predicts Early Ghaiiffe
Which Wilt Send Ihti Hor&c Into the Background.
"The picturesque figure of the mounted
policeman, now a familiar sight on tho
centrnt thoroughfares and along the roads
on the outskirts of tho city, will be Ilttlo
moro than n memory within a fow years.
He will bo replaced by tho motorcycle
policeman, who, in outlying sections, will
be aided by aeroplane patrolmen."
This prediction was mndo today by Po
llco Captain William B. Mills, for several
years lieutenant of tho trnfTlc squad. Cap
tain Mills is regarded as one of the high
est authorities In this country on trafllo
conditions.
The trafllo regulations Introduced by
Director Porter nnd Superintendent of
Pollco Robinson, at the suggestion of
Captain Mills, wero nlmost wholly adopt
ed by the Detroit pollco after nn ofllclat
made a tour of largo cities to determine
which city hnd tho best police regula
tions for nutomobllos. Tho semnpnoro
signals nnd tho system of parking auto
mobiles In tho centre ot Broad street wero
Introduced by Cnptnln Mills whllo ho
headed tho trnfllc squad, nnd have slnco
been Introduced In other cities, Including
Paris.
"Tho tremendous Incrcaso of automo
biles on tho clty'n principal highways, es
pecially slnco tho advent of the jitneys,
Indicates that tho usefulness of tho
mounted policeman Is rapidly waning,"
tho captain continued. "Although tho
motorcycle squad Is larger than It was
originally It Is not largo enough to copo
with tho automobile tjnfrio problem ns
ably as It should. A much larger motor
oyclo force Is needed. In New York the
mounted pollco squad wns reduced to
such a small number that a uniformed
horsemen Is rarely seen off nrlBtocratlo
Eth avenue. At tho samo time the motor
cyclo forco was greatly Increased.
"The mounted nollccman Is of great
sorvlco In ense of a riot. His horso Is
trained to forco his way Into tho crowd
whllo his rider makes good use of his
riot stick. Tho mounted policeman Is
also useful an a parado escort or to
guard tho President, ns wns shown on
Monday night. The mounted squad ln the
rear of tho procession on Its way to
Convention Hall prevented Jitneys from
rushing ahead of tho escort, for' tho pas
sengers ncro urging the drivers to rush
past tho President's car so they could get
a look at him. Had this been permitted
tho result would havo been embarrassing.
"Whllo tho horseman can regulnto the
horse-drawn vehicles In the business sec
tions, tho motor drivers can best bo con
trolled by tho motorcycle policemen. Joy
riders going up Broad street nt express
train speed can easily outdistance tho
fleotCBt horse, but cannot escape from
tho pursuing motor cop so easily. Tho
motorcyclo cop has also demonstrated his
ability to get to a seat of trouble in con
siderable loss tlmo than a mounted po
licrmnn. Especially Is this truo in tho
outlying sections. Director Porter and
Superintendent Robinson havo been ex
perimenting with a motorcyclo policeman
In Germantown. Ho patrols the roads In
tho sparsely populated sections or Is kept
nt tile pollco station to wait for emer
gency calls. Superintendent Robinson hns
statistics to show how swiftly the motor
cop nrrlved on tho scene of trouble.
"Slnco devices are being perfected to
mako aeroplanes safe, I venturo to say
that the time Is not far oft when tho
aviator patrolman will mako his debut.
From his lofty porch, Beveral hundred
feet nbovo ground, ho has n constant
panorama benenth him and can easily
detect a tiro several miles away and can
