BVENING LEDCHSB-PHILADBLPHIA'. TUESDAY. JUNE 22,
PHILADELPHIA TO GET
1916 "AD" CONFERENCE,
DELEGATES BELIEVE
Campaign of Poor Richard
Club Has Swung Chicago
Convention to Favor
Quaker City for Next
Meeting, It Is Thought.
CHICAGO, 111., Juno 22,-Fhllndelphla'a
prospects for winning thft next annual
convention of the Associated Advertising
Llubs of tho World approached tho point
of a foregone conclusion today. Irving
Paschall, of Philadelphia, In charge of
exhibits, says, "There Isn't nny nrgument
about It. We'll get tho convention."
Mr. Paschall's optimism was buttressed
by admissions from advertising men from
other cities that "Philadelphia has sent
ft steam roller after tho convention, and
Is bound to get It." C. II, Durbln, of
Philadelphia, is credited with having In
stigated efficient work for his homo city
In an tinobtruslvo way.
There aro so many "Poor nichard"
medals on red ribbons hung around the
necks of delegates nnd bearing tho word
"Philadelphia" thnt to the uninitiated It
would appear that two-thirds of nil tho
advertising men present 'hall from tho
Quaker City,
.?'' Pn'chall has earned tho title of
"Old Man Machlavelll" In his part of
tho campaign for bringing the conven
tion to his homo town. Delegates from
Cincinnati and Richmond, especially, aro
Inclined to think ho went a trlllo far
In featuring tho Philadelphia exhibit in
tho gold room of the Congress Hotel and
seeing to It that all attaches of the ex
hibit direct Msltors to Philadelphia's part
of the show, a silent argument for tho
location of tho next big meeting.
DEPARTMENTAL MEETINGS.
Tho convention today resolved Itself
Into a scoro of departmental meetings on
specialized subjects In advertising. Jo
soph II. Appcll, director of publicity for
tho John Wanamakor stores of Philadel
phia and Now York, delivered an epl
gramatlo address on honesty and common
senso In adortlslng.
"Advertising Is tho speech ot business,"
declared Mr. Appoll. "Advertising Is lo
business what language Is to man Us
modo of self expression. A business that
will not advertise Is both deaf and dumb.
"Advertising that Is saturated with
human Interest Is bound to be most widely
lead. Tho word "news," as printed In our
American nowspnpers, has como to mean
"human Interest." Stores must tell their
own news In a human Interest way.
"The only economic reason for adver
tising Is to mako moro clllcient tho dis
tribution of merchandise. Advertising,
when efficient, lowers tho cost of com
modities, because It becomes the million
tongued salesman, making possible tho
multlplo mcrchnnt, who reaches a million
people with less cost and less effort than
tho peddler or tho crossroads store could
reach ono or a dozen people,
"Retail advertising Is tho people's guldo
In their everyday living. Tho newspaper
Is tho natural medium for retnll advertis
ing and for all advertising. Newspapers
clrculato In tho densest centres of popu
lation, where nro also congregated tho
largest stores with tho greatest volume
of merchandise, so they arc, therefore,
the mot clllcient mediums for nil adver
tising." Tho Boston Pilgrims brought with them
to Chicago a forceful auxiliary of women
exponents of "purity In advertising," .i
commltteo ot tho Women's Publicity Club
of Boston, nn organization whose purposo
Is to sco to It that tho housewlfo Is edu
cated to tho wiles and ruse3 of unprinci
pled advertisers.
HONESTY; URGED.
Louis Wiley, business manager of the
New York Times, led a discussion on
"The Effect of Advertising Censorship on
the Cash Drawer." Ho said:
"There nre many newspapers on n prof
itable basis which carry objcctlonablo
and fraudulent advertising. I know, how
ever, of a number of newspapers now on
tho rocks which were onco prosperous. I
attribute their undoing to lack of self
respect, lack of regard for their own rep
utations and heedlessness In printing un
reliable news and advertisements. An
honest, self-respecting newspaper has tho
most enduring success
"Thcro are few editors who will allow
a false dispatch or report In their Jour
nals. Why should a distinction ho drawn
with business news which affects the
purses of their readers? For the public
is prone to receive advertising ns It doci
news, nnd there Is a close relationship be
tween those happenings on tho social
sldo of llfo and tho garment a depart
ment store offers for sale. There Is a
dependence of one upon the other."
A national board of censorship of ad
vertising was proposed ns the first pro
gressive plan to bo launched by tho As
sociated Clubs. .Merle Sidcner, chairman
of the Vigilance Committee, outlined nt
a dozen Informal meetings tho proposat
that the organization employ n salaried
forco of lawyers, detectives, physicists,
chemists and other specialists to ex
amine all suspicious advertising and put
It to the test as a means of eliminating
fakes and exaggerations which were de
clared to bo unbelievably numerous.
"The Gospel of Optlmlam" was dis
cussed by Joseph H Finn, president of
thn Nichols. Finn Advertising Co. He em
phasized tho necessity for complete co
operation between the editorial and busi
ness departments of a newspaper. He
pointed out that advertising is nowa about
merchandising.

WARSHIP ORDERED TO HAITI
700 Sailors and 200 Marines to Pro
tect Americans.
WASHINGTON,' Juno 22. The cruiser
Washington, with 700 bluejackets nnd 200
marines, was ordered today from Vera
Cruz to Capo Holtien, Haiti, to protect
foreign lives and property threatened by
the latest revolutionary outbreak. It was
Bald there would be a landing if neces
sary. Admiral Capcrton will bo In personal
command of the expedition, which was
taken as Indicative of tho Government's
view of -tho seriousness of tho situation.
The gunboats Machlas and Marietta, re
turning to Vera Cruz, will take the place
ot tho Washington In guarding American
lnteicsts there.
It was said nt the State Department
that tho revolutionists first captured the
city and were then driven out by tho Gov
ernment forces. The situation was orig
inally taken In hand by the commander
of tho French cruiser Descartes, which
was at the Haltten port and which landed
marines to protect the French-American
bank.
The services were greatly appreciated
and Admiral Caperton was Instructed
to thank tho French commander. At the
same tlmo It was pointed out that the
landing was technically In violation of the
Monroe Doctrine.
Under the circumstances this was re
garded as perfectly right, but the Wash
ington Administration was unwilling to
have such a situation continue long.

JITNEYS TO PARADE IN
ANTI-ORDINANCE FIGHT
Passengers Will Be Carried
"Dead Head" in Broad Street
Demonstration Tonight.
Twelve hundred jitneys, carrying pas
sengers freo of charge, will parado Broad
street tonight In a demonstration of pro
test against contemplated action by Coun
cils which, It Is said, would legislate
jitneys off tho streets by compelling them
to carry passengers six miles for 6 cents.
The parado wilt finally end in a mass
meeting on tho north plaza of tho City
Hall, where speakers will denounce tho
ordinance pending In Councils and will
Incidentally outllno all the troubles of the
jitney owners nnd operator,
Threo hundred jitney owners, among
them many Independent drivers, today
attended a meeting of the Jitney Auto
Service Company In tho Parkway Build
ing, and adopted a campaign ngalnst
those who nro In favor of eliminating
jitney cars. Individual appeals will bo
mado to every Councilman today by a
commltteo of four. The men present
agreed that tho ordinance pending In
Councils which calls for a rldo from Erie
avenuo to Shunk street for 5 cents Is
not fair.
William It. Wilson, of the 6th Ward,
called upon tho men to reorganlzo them
selves. He also appealed to jitney own
ers to have compotent drivers In their
machines.
"It Is up to you men to organize," said
Wilson, "and placo competent, trained
men In your machines. It Is tho In
competent drivers who aro chiefly re
sponsible for accidents In this city. It is
theso men who nro responsible for plac
ing a stigma on honest Jitney owners.
Wo have as much right to opcrato
vehicles on tho roads of Philadelphia as
has tho Philadelphia napld Transit Com
pany. Wo will never stand for tho license
fee, which would mean the completo
elimination of tho Jitney machines."
Tho committee of four which will can
vass Councllmen Is headed by William
McDonald. Other speakers wero Qeorgo
F. Wilson, who presided nt tho meeting,
and Thomas I Wilson, secretary of tho
Metal Trades Council.
ATLANTIC CITY STORM MAY
AID SEARCH FOR THE DEAD
Many Believe Bodies Will Bo Brought
to Surface.
ATLANTIC CITY, June 22.-A Bummer
storm of exceptional severity that late
last night Interrupted tho search for four
of tho soven Philadelphia victims of Sun
day's carnival of death In tho Sovereign
avenuo "slue," Is expected to cxpedlto
tho recovery of tho bodies.
Old fishermen up nnd down tho coast
cling to a tradition thnt a thunderstorm
causes bodies lvlng at tho bottom of
water to rise to tho surface. It Is by
nn menns uncommon In small coast towns
for relatives of luckless fishermen to pray
for a storm after a sen tragedy.
In tho ordinary course of events tho
bodies of Miss Creamer, of Jcnklntown;
young Philip Arnold, Jr : Frank Brig
nam, tho boy victim, and Charles Mat
lack, who perished trying to save tho
beautiful college girl, should be found
not later than tomorrow, anywhero be
tween Albany avenue, a fow blocks below
tho death-trap which gripped them, and
Upper "Longport.
To the ml ml of a great many the de
cision of Dr. Louis It. Souder, County
Phvslclnn, not to order an inquest, dis
poses of Implied charges of Inefficiency
thnt have been whispered against the
llfesavlng service Doctor Souder said bo
had Investigated every phaso of tho
tragedy.
, "I see nothing to Investigate further,"
ho declared, "I believe tho victims wero
accidentally drowned whllo everything
posslblo was being done to save them."
Whatever probability there may have
been of an official Investigation of re
ported laxness on tho part ot tho Chel
sea guards ceased to exist today when
Roger Creamer, brother of Miss Mnrlon
Bhodes Creamer, of Jcnklntown, one of
tho victims, visited tho City Hall. Mr.
Creamer, who narrowly escaped the fate
of his sister, said tho allegations attribut
ed to his mother were tho outcome of
misleading reports.
