Hearty Indorsement of the movement
to get the convention here was given by
Congrcesmnn-at-Lnrgo John R. K. Scott.
Mr, Scott said:
nrTh..,movnent t0 brl"B the National
Republican Convention to this city Is n

logical place for such n gathering.
Jnr.th6fn.ri?t 8lep. toward Inducing the

lonvuntlon that nomlnnlcd McKlnlcy
was b; ought to Philadelphia. Mayor
Ashbrldgo acted us the committee head
nnd procured tho co-opcrntlon of men In
all walks of lite."
Henry 8. Williams, president of the
Chestnut Street Uuslncss Men's Associa
tion, whllo strongly In favor of having
the convention here, expressed the fear
that Councils, through their delay nnd
Inaction on the convention hall plans,
have seriously Jeopardized Philadelphia's
chances for being selected by the Repub
lican National Committee.
"COUNCILS ASLCEP."
Mr. WllllamB said:
"Councils alono will bo to blame If tho
Republican National Convention Is not
held In Philadelphia In 1018. especially If
Senator Pcnroso will uso his Influence, to
liavo It held here.
"In fact. Councils seem to be asleep.
Philadelphia business men and associa
tions have called on them and petitioned
them, tho Chamber of Commerce has
made n vigorous protest against their
seeming Indifference, Mayor Blankcnburg,
Director Cooke, nnd many othero havo
approved tho convention hall alto at 24th
and Chestnut streets. What has been
the rcsult7 What havo Councils done?
Nothing, nB far as results aro concerned.
Yoit can't expect to havo a national con
vention here unless you havo a cen
trally located convention hall.
"Senator Pcnroso knows very well,"
Mr. Williams continued, "that It will
bo useless for Philadelphia to ask tho
Republican National Committee to hold
Its convention In this city unless wo
havo a suitable convention hall. Ho must
certainly bo aware of tho urgent neces
sity of having such a hall.
"Philadelphia has all the necessary at
tractions. It has tho hotels, the theatres
and other amusements, but tho necessary
convention hall Is certainly lacking.
"There Is still time, perhaps. Councils
should bo urged to call a special meeting
to act upon tho recommendation for tho
Bite nt 24th nnd Chestnut streets. It has
been Indorsed by most of tho leading
buslncs men of the city and by Mayor
Blankcnburg and Director Cooke and
others. And yet Councils, for some rea
son known only to themselves, have seen
nt to Ignore It.
ATLANTIC CITY CITED
"A convention hall, centrally located
nnd easily accessible, Is needed not
only for such a national gathering, but
also for business conventions. Look nt
tho conventions held ln Atlantic City.
Philadelphia must bo Indeed slow when
It will allow business men from the
West nnd Middle West to pass right
through Philadelphia to hold conventions
In Atlantlo City. Is Philadelphia a
suburb of Atlantic City or not7 It Is
Indeed a hard criticism of Philadelphia
enterprise.
"So far as the Republican National
Convention for 1316 Is concerned, there
would bo little diniculty In raising the
necessary funds. As for the hall, the
plans aro drawn and In 10 months a fine
building could be erected. The site Is
near all tho central hotels, near tho
railroad stations, within a few minutes'
walk of the University of Pennsylvania.
Tho point is that Councils must tnko
action and make an appropriation for the
purchase of the site."
Quick action on the part of Councils
for the final selection of a proper site
for the new convention hall and the
erection of the building Itself, were
urged by other prominent Philadelphia
business men, who expressed keen Inter
est In Senator Penrose's statement.
Whllo several refused to make any com
ment, many agreed in saying they were
ln hearty sympathy with having the
convention In this city In 1016 and that
it would be a great thins for Philadel
phia. Frank I. Relszner, president of tho
Market Street Merchants' Association,
said:
"Every Philadelphia business man will
readily admit that it would be a great
thing for Philadelphia to have the Re
publican National Convention here ln
1316
"The Market Street Merchants' Asso
ciation has already called upon Senator
Penrose. The matter of raising the
necessary funds for defraying the ex
penses of tho convention has already
been taken up. As you know, Phila
delphia business men offered to contri
bute J10.000 at once to tt- 1100,000 fund if
Councils passed the ordinance for the
selection of the site at 2tth and Market
streets before adjournment for the sum
mer. PROPOSED SITE IDEAL.
"The site there, I think, Is an Ideal one.
It would be within easy walking dis
tance of the hotels and theatres. Busi
ness men must realize that, If we want to
get the Convention here, we must be able
to offer the best of facilities for housing
such a convention."
E. J Herlet. president of the Walnut
Street Business Association, said:
"I am glad to hear that Senator Pen
rose has begun to advocate openly the
co-operation of the Philadelphia business
and civic organizations in the campaign
to bring the Republican National con
vention to this city ln 1916. With Senator
Penrose's national Influence and the en
thusiastic work of Philadelphia organi
zations I think there la no doubt that
the convention can be obtained for thta
city. First, however, it will be necessary
to build a hall to house tho convention.
I am sure that all the associations In tho
city will be eager to Join hands in fur
thering both projects."
N. B. Kelly, of the Chamber of Cqm
merce, said;
"I have been suro for some time that
Senator I'enrose was anxloua to bring
tho Republican National Convention to
this city next summer, Tho public can be
assured that the Chamber of Commerco
will do its part. We have already ap
pointed a committee to campaign for the
construction of a hall to accommodate
the convention. The same committee
has beon tailing on buslnesd men in order
to learn how much money can be raised
for entertaining the convention. I believe
we can say that the suro will not be less
than fM.ooo. That la the present estimate
and we have been at work only a short
time. What It will be later I cannot pre
dict." RoUnd S. Morris, chairman Democratic
State Committee, declared:
"One great need for Philadelphia is a
confntlon hall I have contended this
fur years. I think It is generally agreed
that such a building would bring bene
ficial results to the city."
Clarence L. Harper stated as hU
ojiinloii.
"1 think we ihould nave a convention
nail and that it should be at a point con
venient to too notem ana dimwu
centres Anything which brings national
attention to Philadelphia U sure to be a
toot! thing We should have a building

EVENING LEDGEB-PHILADELIHTA, THURSDAY. JULY
BIDS FOR FRANKF0RD
ELEVATED LINE ASKED
First Step in Meeting Transit
Needs of Northeast to Bene
fit 125,000 Daily.
Transit Director A. Merrllt Taylor to
day began advertising for bids for the
construction of the nrst work upon the
Frankford elevated line. The
advertisement ask that
FOflTHrV tened pr0p0Sai,, tor lne con.
TRAN8IT)tructlon of concrete col
umns, foundations and piers
for about 2B.0M feet of tho
elevated structuro be sub
mitted before noon, Monday, August 16
At this date the bids will be opened nnd
tho contract will be let.
This step will mark the nrst nctual
construction work In the building of a
lino which residents of the entire north
eastern section of the city have been
demanding for a score of years. A new
ora of prosperity nnd expansion for
Frnnkford and other sections of tho
northenst Is expected to follow the com
pletion of the proposed high-speed line.
On August 16, Director Taylor will ulso
open bids for tho construction of tho
flrtt section of the Broad street subway,
under the western side of City Hall. Ad
vertising for proposals for this work be
gnn several days ago.
While advertisements for work on both
tho new high-speed lines, to be begun
this year, nre now nppearlng In nows
papers, the City Solicitor has not yet
completed tho formal application which
must be presented to the Public Servlco
Commission to secure Its npproval of
tho work.
Work on, tho Frankford elevated will
proceed much more rapidly than the work
on tho Broad street subway, slnco prac
tically no excavation will be necessary.
The need for Improved facilities In tho
northenst is also greater than along tho
Broad street line. According to estimates
made by Investigators, thcro are 123,000
persons who dally travel out of, Into and
within this section, who wilt be Imme
diately benonted by tho new elevated lino.
IIOBSON WANTS WILSON
TO TAKE PUBLIC PLEDGE
Continued from I'sge One
which attracted crowds all along the line
of march to tho pier.
By the tlmo the Phlladelphlans reached
tho pier, tho crowd following numbered
several thousand. Many curious persons
crowded into the Auditorium nnd Hippo
drome to hear tho addresses, Bwelllng the
throng past tho 10,000 mark.
Seats had been reserved nt the morn
ing session for the visitors. They were
welcomed by tho odlclals of tho Pcnn
slvanla Anti-saloon League and their
friends from Philadelphia, who have been
participating In tho convention.
On the way to tho pier tho Phlladel
phlans sang "Brighten tho Corner Where
You Are." Many of the visitors wcro
In tho great "Billy" Sunday choir whllo
tho baseball evangelist was ln Philadel
phia and so tho singing was unusually
Impressive. By tho time tho delegation
ihnd been assigned to seats, the morning
musical program hud not yet been com
pleted. Professor E. O. Exccll. directing
the singers, seized tho opportunity to call
for several familiar "Billy" Sunda
hymns, nnd tho old pier and the Board
walk rocked with the stirring strains of
"As a Volunteer," "Brighten tho Corner"
and several others,
SALOON FOE OF EFFICIENCY,
"The saloon la beating a swift retreat
before the new watchword of the world'3
business men 'efnclPiicy'," declared Dr.
Albert Banks, In hls-nddress today.
"It wab not many years ago," said Doc.
tor Banks, "when the forces of big busi
ness were solidly arrayed against the
prohibition movement. That time now
Is pnst. Three-fourths of the mill acci
dents of five j ears ago were traceable to
tho saloon. When we began legislating
against mill accidents making the owner
pay for them ho Investigated nnd he
found that liquor, Instead of putting dol
lars In his pocket, was taking them out,
nnd he lined up with us. He wanted cfll
clency nnd he la gottlng It by flghtlng
the saloon.
"The only good thing that has come
out of this senseless European war Is
the great Impetus given the temperance
movement," said Doctor Banks. "Gen
erals want efficient men and officers, and
the first thing they did was to legislate
the alcohol school out of existence.
Russia, England, France and Germany
saw what the saloon was doing to their
morale nnd efficiency nnd they took steps
to remedy It. This fact Is not going to
be overlooked by American business men
when the tlmo comes to vote for aboli
tion."
The Rev. A. C. Bane, financial secre
tary of the league, told the delegates that
tho United States takes better care of
Its livestock than It does its citizens.
"Tho Government," he said, "has been
willing to provide experts to cure tho
hog of its cholera, the cow of her tuber
culosis, while permitting hundreds of
human beings to die daily of neglect
that Is traceable to the saloon door."
LIQUOR ARGUMENTS ANSWERED.
Judge Patterson, In his address today,
reviewed In a general way the fight for
national prohibition, taking up the argu
ments of the liquor Interests one by one
and answering them. He pointed out in
reply to the statement that many persona
would bo thrown out of work by prohibi
tion that the Federal census of 1910
showed but 62,000 persons engaged In tho
liquor business In the United States.
"Three millions of slaves were liberated
In the South of the average value of (1000
each." he said, "and other property of
all description was wholly destroyed, and
millions of debt were piled up on the
States for which they received no benefit
by the saturnalia of misrule that existed
after the surrender, yet the Government
never counted the loss of life and treas
ure, and the South eoon rallied her physi
cal and moral forces and now Is march
ing on to the music of the Union to a
higher and richer destiny."
The Rov. Dr. George G. Dowey, of
Philadelphia, will be the principal speaker
at tonight's session In the auditorium.
Ho will talk on "Marshaling the Forces
of a Great City," The Phlladelphlans
will leave here on the 10:30 o'clock train
tonight-
This afternoon will be devoted to recrea
tion, and Just before the evening meeting
there will be a twilight religious service
on the beach. There also will be special
services in virtually all the Atlantlo City
churches, pastors of which, have offered
the use of the churches to the Phlladel
phlans. Today's Marriage Licenses

FORMS FIRE MENACE
Flow of 45,000,000 Feet a Day
Is Uncontrqllable, Hurling
Earth and Rocks Into Air.
PlTTSdOltGH, July 8.-Hoarlng like a.
volcano and throwing earth and rockn
high Into the ulr, n gas well on the
George Spiegel farm, along tho Foster
road, four miles from McKccsport, Is
pouring gas Into tho nlr nt tho rate of
45,000,000 feet a day. The (low Is uncon
trollable nnd fast forming a fire mennco
through the entire section.
The well wns struck at 4 o'clock yes
terday afternoon, nnd last hlpht It was
ImposMbte to go within 100 feet of tho
hole. The roar of the escaping gas can
be heard for more than four miles. The
pressure Is Increasing hourly this
morning.
Tho well was struck at a depth of 1950
feet At first the gns came only gradu
ally, but half an hour later the forco
wns so tcrrlllc that efforts to control It
were futile In an hour It was Imposslblo
to approach the well, which was tossing
great rookn Into tho nlr. This offered a
source of danger of Mre, as the ctblo
with which the drilling was done and a
eU-lnch plpo were still In the well, nnd
tho rocks shooting up nt a mllo-t-mliiiito
velocity struck sparks when thry Were
hurled ngalnst tho cable nnd pipe. It wns
feared tho iparks might Ignlto tho gas.
A market for tho gas at 10 cents per 1000
feet can bo found easily, nnd If the well
should keep up Us pressure of 45,000,000
feet a day, tho Incomo would average
more than $1,600,000 a year.

Police Court Chronicles
Tho American flag has avd ninny A -
vaudeville act from rallure it hns lix
wise won applause for orators lw could
not orate, but never beforo id our recol
lection hns It been used as a means tor
"coaxing ft touch " It was nichSrd Finn,
of Uth and Winter streets who devid
tho Idea of using tho flag In this Con
nection.
lie npproached prospective victims Wllhj
much assurance and selected the neigh
borhood of 20th and Oxford streets fof ;
tho experiment Eaoh time he Wag re
fused ft dlma or a. nickel, Finn pulled th
American Mag out of his coat nnd waved
in tho face of tho ono accosted 1 in
nn American," he said, "why do you
refuso me7"
"Most real Americans work for a liv
ing," said ono man who was approached.
This aroused tho wrath of Finn and lis
waved tho flag In tho face of tho stranger
and denounced him.
Tho argument wns getting warm when
Pollcemnn Schultz nrrlved. Finn tried to
escape by climbing Up n telegraph pole
on seeing tho cop, but Schultz pulled him
back to earth. "How daro you arrest me'"
challenged Finn nnd ho waved tho flag
in tho face of the bluecoat.
Schultz took Finn to the 19th nnd Ox
ford streets station. Ho failed to eon
vlnce Magistrate Grells that Americans
should havo the right to beg on th
street. Furthermore tho prisoner could
give no evldcnco of having had recent
employment.
Tho Judgo concluded that good exerclso
would be the means of making him
chango his Ideas and sent him to tils '
House pt Correction for three months.
