ONGRBSSHAN SAYS
CITY IS AT MERCY OF
philadelphia Defenses Ut
; terly Inadequate, Assert
J. Hampton Moore and
Peter B. Costello Na
tion Must Wake Up.
Philadelphia wilt do Its shar In the
flght for adequate national defense, ac
cording to Philadelphia Congressmen, who
are already anticipating tho contest to
take place In Congress next winter be
tween advocates of tho small army nnd
navy plnn and the men who want great
Increases lit the regular army arid steps
taken to Insure the strengthening of the
National Guard throughout tho United
States.
So far as can be Been now-, national de
fense and the question of adequate prep
aratlon will be the principal topic before
tho not Congress. The European war
I responsible for this as well as the gen
eral nwakenlng to tho fact that tho
United Btatos might become Involved In
a struggle wltlr European powers.
Lined up on the side of adequate pre
paredness will 'be the President of the
United States, the Secretary of War and
the Secretary of the Navy. Behind them,
and with the power to. Increase the sUo
of tho army nnd navy, will be most of
tho Congressmen and Senators from tho
Northern Coast States and a scattering
few from Southern States along tho sea
board. This number will be augmented by- a.
phalanx from the Paclfla coast, whoso
realisation of the dangerous conditions of
the national defenses has been height
ened by the ever-present thought of a
Japanese Invasion.
Southern Democrats from tho Interior,
whoso constituents have .not reason to
fear tho immediate effect of Invasion
from the seaboard, and the great body
ot the Congressmen ind Senators from
the middle West aro expected to show
an apathy in their attitude toward ef
forts to tncreaso the military prepared
ness of the United States.
But that the pressure of the advocates
ot preparedness will be effective there
seems no doubt. Philadelphia Congress
men, besides those from Now: York. New
Jersey, Delaware and tho other seaboard
States, will probably form a solid' unit
to push the plan for ndequato defenses
for" tho United States.
MR. MOORE'S VIEWS.
Congressman J. Hampton Moore Is ono
of the Pennsylvanlans who -can be
counted upon to aid vigorously In ob
taining n greater army and navy. He
nnd a delegation of Congressmen from
New Jersey and Delaware returned only
last Friday from a trip down the, Dela
ware River and bay with a view of learn
ing the true condition of defenses for
Philadelphia and Camden.
"Wo find that If we do not put up bar
riers against foreign competition wo will
bo swamped In our trade conditions," said
Congressman Moore. "By the same token
If we- do not put up and maintain proper
defenses we may some day be overcome
In war. We do not lack patriotism or
spirit, but we grow indifferent to some of
our necessities because of our activities.
Take the fortifications around Philadel
phia. Why were they constructed? Old
;Fort Mercer, on the Jersey side nt what
WM,st now known as. Red Bank, and Fort
Mifflin, on the Pennsylvania side, below
League Island, were erected'ln tho days
lot Washington to protect Philadelphia,
which was then the Hrst city of the
United States, against a British Invasion.
"Tho easy assurance that we arc safe
In Philadelphia because we are so fur In
land calls to mind the fact that the British
hips occupied this harbor In the days of
Lord Howe and that he spent a somewhat
festive season In our midst that was
humiliating at least to the 'Father of His
Country' in the trying days of vnlley
Forge. In 18H a British admiral sailed up
tho Potomac River to Alexandria, which
Is further Inland than Philadelphia, and
marched over to the Capitol and burned It.
"As a matter of fact we are 'but slightly
better oft relatively to protect ourselves
'around Washington today than we were
In 1811.
"On tho Delaware River we havo three
.forts, one ot them supposed to be ut
terly unfit for effective service against
the modern guns of an enemy'u ship, be
low New (JDBtie. These rorts constitute our
i shield against foreign vessels that might
sail up tne uejaware way and River, and
at the present time they are manned by
103 officers and men who are not suffi
cient to keep the buildings, grounds,
guns and machinery free from rust and
deterioration.
LAND DEFENSES WEAK.
"If an enemy should not see fit to come
UP the Delaware RIve'r, but should land
troops, wiry, well-trained men, such as
fought in the Russo-Japanese war or
such as are now fighting In thei European
war. It would be a serious question
t whether they could be prevented from
I- rushing In hehlnd any one of the Dela
ware fortincauona ana taking posses
sion of them. Such an Invasion would
mean that Philadelphia with .its splendid
navy yard and Its various arsenals rtoh
I with Government stores and ammunition,
wouia neea immediate ueienso snouia
they not actually fall as prizes.
'The defenses of the lower Delaware.
while not enough so far as they go, and
insufficiently manned as they are, would
have very little advantage la the. way of
reinforcements or supplies through the
s Chesapeake and Delaware or the Dela
ware and Rarltan canals. The depth of
water In each ot these streams is In
sufficient to pass gunboats or subma
rines or suDDly boats, and yet the Chesa-
ireake and Dataware Canal, which is no
teller now man it was.wnen pompieiea
in ism was the means of saving the
capital of the nation atthe call ot Presi
dent Lincoln in VSU for the. railroad
ihrldges were burned and it was only by
barging troops tnrougn me canal to me
(Chesapeake Bay that they were "able
to Bet to Annapolis and on to Washing
ton In time to stop ino wonteaerate in-
rattnn. , . ...
'what Phiiaaeipnia neeas is a uttio
pore asserttveness with respect to Its
own welfare. If the Philippines, which
have caused us much blood and treasure,
are worth large forces of American troops
to aid In setting up ine peopio in dusi
new, Philadelphia, New 'York and Balti
more should not -be overlooked. If 9W0
troops are taken away from us and es
tablished In the Hawaiian Islands, where
the. population does not exceed thafof a
single congressional district In Philadel
phia, we ouglit not to be left In the care.

U. S. TO APPEAL CASE
AGAINST WATCH CO.
Government Will Insist on Dis
solution of Firm Before Su
preme Court.
An appeal to- the United States Supremo
Court was, taken today, by the Government
from the decision 'of Judge McPherson.
refusing to order the dissolution of tho
Keystone Watch Case Company as an Il
legal monopoly. The papers to perfect the
appeal were prepared by William T.
Chantland nnd Blackburn Esterllne,. spe
cial assistants to Attorney General Greg
ory and United States District Attorney
Francis Fisher Kane. They wero present
ed to Judge Bufflngton, who with Judges
McPherson and Hunt, heard the Govern
ment's complaint In this city. Notice ot
the nppe'al having been ncltnowledged by
John G. Johnson, chief counsel for tho
company, Judge BufTlngton made an
order certifying the case to the highest
Federal court.
Judge McPherson, writing for tho court,
filed his decision on January 2 last. He
decided that the testimony offered by
the Government was not sufficient to
warrant the dissolution of the company
ns a trust, but he did find that the com
pany had been using boycotting methods
against .dealers and had attempted to re
strict the sales of the Howard watch,
which It manufactured exclusively, and
these practices he ordered stopped by in
junction. The Intlmldatory methods of the com
pany were carried on through clrculara
sent to JobberB and retailers. The com
pany threatened to cut off "the supply of
Its products td Jobbers unless the latter
dealt exclusively In the wares of the
comp&ny. The company also attempted,
through the circular, to regulate the retail
price for the Howard watch. Judge Mc
Pherson decided' that the company had
the right to fix the price at which the
watches were to be sold to Jobbers, but
there Its right to vend ended, and In
fixing the recall price it had committed
an unlawful act.

NOON SEES HOPES
OF JITNEYS WANING
Committees Fail to Meet for
Purpose of Providing Injunc
tion Bond.
The time allowed b'y tho court for the
filing of the bond by the Jltneymen Is
drawing to a close, and so fur nothing
has been done. A meeting -of the two
committees from the rival associations
wan scheduled for this morning, bu Up
to noon nobody had put In an appearance.
Every mlnuto that went by saw the Jlt
neymen's hopes go lower. The court has
said that the bond must bo filed tonight,
according to the Jltneymen. Twice they
were granted an extension and It Is not
probable they will get another one. Tho
committees wero to set out immediately
this morning to ralso the money neces
sary to cover tho bond, or to find a
friend who would go the security for
them.
Both associations rind some one In
view, they said, Tho Philadelphia Jitney
Association had two men who wouJd
come forward to their rescue If all ofhor
channels were closed, they said, whtlo
tho Auto Service Association also said
that a friend stood ready to help them.
Meanwhile nothing Is being done. -Tlie
men havo not even met ns yet today.
Many of tho Jltneymen were optimistic
nbout the situation, declaring tho bond
will be Hied early this afternoon. Many
others wero strong In tho belief that the
bond would never be tiled. If It Isn't filed
by night the Injunction automatically
lapses, unless the courts grant another
extension of tlmo, which Is Improbable,
and the ordinance which the Jltneymen
say will drive them from the streets will
be enforced.
Jltneymen In all parts of the city are
awaiting tho outcomo of the commit
tees' work today with, no little anxiety.
If the committees are successful nnd
obtain the security for tho bond, tho
Jitneys will run uninterrupted until the
20th of September, when tho final hear
ing will be given, If the collateral for
tho bond Is not procured, the Jitneys go
out of business, according to tticlr own
statement.
That tho bond will not be filed Is the
opinion of A. C. Haupt, socretnry of tho
Auto Service Association. "Tho men aro
Just beginning to realize that they can't
obtain tho security," he said. "Who will
go security to the extent of 1500 for a
lot of men who don't show Interest
enough to Join a Jitney association?
Furthermore, If tho security can bo ob
tained, the 'officers of tho Auto Service
Association ure yet fearful as to tho re
sults. They don't know but that the
other association will refuse to amalga
mate as soon as the bdrd Is filed. Wo
havo received no assuranco of this ex
cept the word of a .committee of four
men, who are powerless In an organiza
tion of 400 If trouble onco starts. If ths
other association backs down, then there
would be the old fight again. No, It
looks to mo as if the bond will not be
filed.. It would be risking too much."
JUDGE FINLETTER A CANDIDATE
Takes Out Pnper3 in Harrisburg for
Nomination oh Republican Ticket.
Judge Thomoa D. Flnletter today took
out papers for nomination as Judgo in
Philadelphia, according to an announce
ment from Harrisburg. Judge Flnletter
was appointed April 3 by Governor Brum
baugh to fill the vacancy In Court ot
Common Pleas No, Icaused by the res
ignation of Judge Robert N. WHIson.-
Mr. Flnletter was born In Philadelphia
tn 1S.62. His father, Thomas H. Flnletter
was judge of Common Pleas Court No.
3 from 1870 until 1006. Mr. Flnletter was
educated at the Episcopal Academy and
tho University' of Pennsylvania. Ho was
admitted to tho Bar In 1S81 and served
both as Assistant City Solicitor and As
sistant District Attorney.
In 1013 ho was appointed a Judge by
Governor Tencr under the act Increasing
the Judges from three to four, but rs
sumed his private law practice when the
Supreme 'Court declared the act uncon
stitutional. Girl Collapses on Hospital Steps
A 15-year-old girl with her name and
address written on a slip of paper pinned
to her shirtwaist, collapsed early today
on the steps of the German Hospital,
where she was going for treatment.
Physicians found she was suffering from
heart trouble. The girl Is Elizabeth
Mann, of 2133 Taylor street. She pinned
the paper to her dress when she left her
home fcr the hospital today because she
feured she might suffer a heart attack
on the way and collapse.
the burden of raising the family on his
.widow, who was Mrs. Elizabeth M. Barr,
fine supported them until they could help.
Not much money they made; It waa
enough to buy food, but when their
mother became ill they helplessly watch
ed her fade. Although she was only 43
years o)d, she aged fast in the last sultry
month.
Anna and James Bit with tear-stalped
faces In their little home, stamped with
poverty but scrupulously clean, and wait
for what? They do not know. Little
Hughle's face Is grave, but he does not
cry.
"Mamma Is asleep," he repeata over
and over again.

PROPOSED FOH SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT
teWZse'Kr jvcMrwy
PLAN TO MAKE WOMAN
CITY SCHOOL HEAD
Continued from l'Ee One
tho" Woman Suftrago party of Philadel
phia, today announced that tho organi
zation would wage a campaign to place
a woman as head of tho school system
of tho city, and officials of the Equal
Franchise Society of Philadelphia heart
ily Indorsed tho project. The organiza
tions will work' as units, and every mem
ber will do personal .work liv nn endeavor
to unite all th? women .ot tho city In a
tremendous demand for a woman super
intendent. "A woman for a woman's Job," Is the
slogan.
"It would be most desirable for the city
to select a 'woman na tho head of tho
school system, Inasmuch as about SO per
cent, of tho teachers and other workers
nre women," said Miss Lewis.
"Tho selection would not bo an experi
ment. Chicago, In Mrs. Ella Flagg
Young, has a woman superintendent of
schools who has made a magnificent
record. Women havo acquitted themselves
creditably In every executive position
which they have held. Many of them
hold high positions In manufacturing con
corns nnd In department stores. Women
have demonstrated their administrative
ability, ind their mastery ot detail and
pulnstnklng care is an established fact."
Miss Puncheon, as possibly tho next
superintendent of schools, was highly
praised by Miss Lewis and Miss Mary
H. Ingham, vice president of tho Equal
Franchise Society, of Philadelphia!. Both
she and Dr. Lucy L. W. Wilson, who
havo strong backing, are In California
tor tho summer.
"I ttm a great admirer of Miss
Puncheon," said Miss Ingham.- "Sho
would make a splendid superintendent of
schools. Her record as head of the Girls'
High School Is excellent."
"Regardless of lior being a woman, Miss
Puncheon has wonderful administrative
ability," said Miss Lewis. "Her varied
experience In school work, In which sho
worked as secretary before her present
high position, has made here thoroughly
familiar with all tho details of tho sys
tem. She'poasesses unusual tact, which
accounts, til - part, for tho esteem In
which bath the students and teachers
hold her. Tho teachers will. 1 iam aura,
support her enthusiastically.. They wero
unanimous In. their support of her in 1913,
In spite af the common Impression cir
culated that a woman would not show
the necessary genius to fill the position
to which she was elected.
"I am naturally very fond of Mrs. Wil
son, who taught me tn high school, and
whom I admire very much. Sho is an
enthusiastic worker, a woman of broad
culture and has a keen Interest in many
subjects,
"Mrs. Wilson Is one of the most sys
tematic women I know, an asset which
would be of great value In the superln
tendency of schools. She has traveled
much, and Is now excavating for relics
In California."

Morltz had put on full steam or rather,
full gasoline for the engine house when
the seat suddenly became warm. Then it
became too hot. He stood up to drive the

He abandoned the blazing car and ran for
help. By the time the firemen responded
the car was a ruin. Nobody knows what

THE MAKING
OF A MAN
(A BOOK FOR PARENTS)
Many parents aro awaking, to tho
fact that "education," as popularly
Interpreted, does not In Itself fit the
boy for the problems and trials of
life.
Many fathers know that what
they term "practical experience"
was gained after they left' school
and college, and many have re
gretted the lack ot facilities that
exist for fitting tho boy, while a
boy, for the rough-and-ready work
of a practical world.
Men's minds are unsettled as to
what constitutes the best system of
education for the growing lad.
They would be glad to learn the
conclusions arrived at on this sub
ject by one who has had unusual
opportunities for Btudylng the prob
lem from the standpoint of prac
tical experience.
Theorists have their place, as
pioneers, but those who have sons
to educate must look to men of ex
perience to give them tho . advice
and Information needed.
"The Making of a Man" repre
sents the viewpoint and system of'
a man who has handled boys, indi
vidually and collectively, for pearly
half a century.
ThlB work will, we believe, be con
sidered valuable by every parent
and worthy of n place on every
library shelf.
