FORMER PROPRIETOR
OF "POLITICAL BAR"
CHARGES CONSPIRACY
Martin L. Wolf Accuses
David Baird, Camden
Politician, and Others Of
Cheating Him Out of His
Saloon.
"The Political Bar," as they Used to
call tha saloon at the northeast corner of
Wtlgo rtna Qlmrd avenue, when It wag
the stamping ground of ward heelers. In
belnc run for the financial benefit of
David Ualrd, bos of the ncpubllcnn "Old
Otiard" In Cnmdrm according to Martin
I Wolf, the "bar's" former proprietor.
Mr. Wolf also says lie wan "cheated
out1 of lib) saloon and his license.
Whether or not his story la true will
be determined In Common Mens Court
No. i on Thursday. In his bill of com
print Wolf, who lives at 137 North 1Mb
street, declares that ho was tho victim
of ft conspiracy nnd he names the fol
lowing as co-defendants with Sir. Ualrdi
Tho First National Hank of Camden,
of which Mr. tlslrd Is president"! Marcus
If. Carroll, whom Wolf calls "Ilalrd's
Man Friday"; Frederick 8, Drake, law
partner of ex-Mayor John Weaver, nnd
Herman Mueller, an Assistant City So
licitor attached to tho staff of Clt So
licitor Michael J. ttynn. The defondnnts
mnko complete denials.
The ?ao Is a veritable labyrinth of
mortgages, promissory notes, transfers of
property nnd lenses, and agreements In
writing and by word of mouth. Wolf,
whoso llauor plnco was heavily mort
gaged, was discharged In bankruptcy In
'lBO". Immediately prior to his discharge
ha Was Indebted to Dalrd's bonk In tho
sum of nbout 113.000. lie thinks he was
entitled to a discharge on this debt, but
Ualrd denies this, nnd. 'In the patching P
of Wolf's tangled affairs the following
plan was followed:
An agreement was made In 1013 be
tween Wolf nnd Carroll by which Wolf
agreed to cell Carroll hl8 property and
license for 14,000. tho nmount of tho
mortgages to be credited by the vender
on account cl tho ngrced purchase price
Carroll accordingly took chnrgo of tho
place, and, myB Wolf, made big profits,
which he turned over to Balrd. This alli
ance Bolrd denies. Ho hna nothing to do
lrUh tho running of tho saloon, he de
clares. Wolf also says he was persuaded by
Bnird, against his better Judgment, to
sign promissory notes to the order of
either Balrd or Ills bank amounting In
alt to about 17,C00.
Balrd threatened to foreclose all the
mortgages, according to Wolf, unless
Wolf transferred the Iluuor license to
Carroll, who "had already been placed
In charge of tho Baloon as jnnnagcr."
Mueller was to "hold the real estate" and
Carroll was to hold tho license until n
buyer for It could bo found, nt which
time Carroll would pay Mrs. Wolf .000
In cash. Until that tlmo ho was to pay
Wolf -20 a woek.
These payments, which stopped May 27,
1911, are declared by the defendants to
have been made for the unexpired license.
Wolf will ask the court to Issue an In
junction restraining Mueller and Drake
from conveying or encumbering tho
property, and Carroll from using or dis
posing of the license. He will nek for n
decree ordering that an accounting of
the' receipts at the saloon be made; nnd
for a decree directing the Immediate re
conveyance of tho property by Mueller
to the Wolfs, and directing the retrans
Xer of tha liquor license back to Wolf.
The saloon was famous years ago for
the political meetings that wero held
there. It was there that former Police
Lieutenant Hugh Blaney was discovered
In company of a special policeman one
Sunday afternoon. Blnney was dis
missed from the pollen force In 1913. He
wa. accused, of political activity during
the Blankonburg campaign. Blaney la
now a tipstaff In tho Municipal Court.

JUMPS FROM BROOKLYN
BRIDGE TO WIN JEWELS
Henry Clark Leaps to Death
Seeking Fame and Money to
Buy Diamonds for Wife.
llnrry Clark, a Phlladelphlan who
leaped off llrooklyn Drldgo on Sunday to
win n contract as a movlni? picture actor,
was ptomptcd In his nctlon by an over
uhclmlnir desire to buy his wife laces and
diamonds.
Such wns tho story of tho widow, re-'
lnted today In New York nt an Inquest
before Coroner Hellcnstcln. Clark was
employed by the Pennsylvania Railroad
as a mechanic. lie was convinced that
he had dramatic and acrobatic ability and
determined to begin n career in tho mov
ing picture world.
His wife friends, many of whom wero
wealthy, dressed more handsomely thnn
she andPossessed Jewels of great value
Clark thought that he, too, could afford
to buy his wife such fineries If he could
nbnndon his Job fora more lucrative one
with a moving picture establishment.
He had made no arrangements to take
the Jump; camera men were not present
at the time, but It was his belief that if
he could startle New York by his bravery
he would win Immediate offers from tho
producers. These fncts were related to
the Coroner In a sobbing, convulsive
voice by Mrs, Clark. She gave lior ad
dress as 3833 Lancaster avenue, Philadel

JOHN MULLEN GOES TO SLEEP A WAITER
AND WAKES UP AS A U. 5. MARINE
Ho Does Not Believe in Transfiguration of Souls, But Admits
That a Strange Change in His Clothes
Has Taken Place.
When John Mullen went to sleep last
night he wns a peaceful private citizen.
When he awuke this morning he was a
fighting marine. And he doesn't know
wli.it caused the transformation. In fact,
It was all like n dream with a somewhat
realistic ending. As John himself was
somewhat mystified he couldn't throw
much light on the situation. So tct us
follow him and perhaps we can get n
better line on the situation. After leav
ing the club In the central section of the
city, where he Is engaged as a waiter,
John went to 13th and Filbert streets. He
had a few drinks In that neighborhood
and then went up to 17th nnd Market
streets As his thirst was stilt clinging,
John took on a few more there, and re
members vaguely that he discussed the
war with a stranger.
The lone waiter then countermarched
on Mnrket street to IJroad street, and
finally rested on a bench In the little park
at Ilrood and Arch streets. John Is
positive that when he sat on the bench

The new 43 is extraordinarily distinctive.
The body shows great originality. The
lines are strikingly low, very much in vogue.
Ample concessions have been made to the
demand for comfort. Body sides are high,
seats deep, cushions soft. As for leg room
there is more than enough.
Everywhere is comfort; everywhere style,
smartness. Everything about the car com

springs clear, live hickory wheels in natural,
finish, interior woodwork charmingly at
