LEDGER-PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST
"POLICE NEWSPAPER
WARNS AGAINST GRAFT
Official Organ of Local De
partment Cites Becker Case
as Example.
A significant warning to petty gratters
on tho Philadelphia police force, baaed on
a discussion of tho Becker case, Is Issued
I In the latest edition of "The Sentinel,"
i published weekly by the Bureau of Po
lice. The warning Is In tne form of nn
editorial, which was written by Louis L.
Austin, tho editor, who Is assistant sec
retary to Director Porter.
The editorial expresses the opinion that
the "whole history of tho Becker case
should certainly aid materially In elimi
nating many of the vicious evils which
hnve been fostered In the police busi
ness." After pointing out lha the mur
der of Herman Tloscnthnl was the climax
that aroused a smouldering public con
science In New lork, tho editorial says!
"Such a condition existing In Philadel
phia Is almost unbelievable, If not Im
possible. The moral tone ond the rela
tions existing between the citizen and
tho pntrolman at the present tlmo nio
such as to Immediately arrest In Its In
clplency any suspicion of rottenness In
the police department.
"It Is, perhaps, well that the public Is
quick to condemn a grafting policeman,
but the more should bo their appreciation
when an honest police force Is provided
them. The Sentinel docs not attempt to
say that there Is no grafting among the
Philadelphia police. In fact, If ono wcro
to attempt to prove such a statement,
ho would doubtless find himself In er
ror. "But a policeman who, under tho pres
ent conditions, thinks so llttln of him-
self and tho good name of the forco as
to graft. Is so small that he Is not fit
to associate with. Ho should be shunned
by his fellow patrolmen, Just ns ho Is
hated nnd despised by the people from
whom ho exacts tho money or Its equiv
alent. A grafting policeman Is tho worst
possible stigma to a body of men, nnd
especially so to the Philadelphia police
force, than whom thero probably was
not a better class of men. A grafting
policeman Is an unending disgrace to
himself, and It Is Just his 'typo that
causes many pcoplo to carry a sneer and
a knowing look on their faces when they
hear any one apeak of nn honcat pollco
force.
"Sergeant Timothy Cavannugh, known
all over the city as 'Honest Tim,' upon
tho completion of his 20th year of serv
ice In the Sth District was asked as to the
manner In which he secured tho cog
nomen. Ho replied. In effect, 'I renlly
don't know. I did nothing out of tho or
dinary. I am no more honest than my
fellow patrolmen. Most of the men In the
service. If not all, are Just as honest
as I.'
"This tribute to his mates should
shamo the officer who Is preying on some
unfortunato men and women or thoso en
gaged In nn Illegitimate business. It
should causo him forever to hang his
head for the Irreparable harm done to
the good name of the Philadelphia po
lice. If he had a conscience, he would
at onco stop the contemptible practice of
abusing his authority and exercising the
trust the citizens havo put In htm to
take advantage of the weak. Or he should
In fairness to his fellow officers, who by
their thoughts and actions aro building
up a reputation for honesty. Immedi
ately tender his resignation.
"The Sentinel does not address this
to any particular man. But It feels sure
of tho support of the overwhelming ma
jority of tho police In Its determined ef
fort to rid the force of that scum of
tho earth the grafting policeman."
SGHUYLKILL. RECEDES
Waters 'Swollen'tyFains Eall Thrco
and One-Half Feet. '
The Schuylkill River was Just 12 Inches
over the breast of the Flat Bock Dan:
at Shawmont, Mannyunk. at 7:3) o'clock
today, making a fall of about 3V4 feet
since noon yesterday. .Early yesterday
the river continued to rise until the maxi
mum of 5 feet above the 9am was reached
at noon.
Conditions In the section aro rapidly
Improving, according to. Wlndeld Guiles,
superintendent of tho Schuylkill Canal.
He reported today that little or no dam
age had been done and that no debris
had accumulated with the fall of tho
river. Ho said that no fear was felt by
tho residents of a return of the disas
trous rains of the last few days.
Although no mills were forced to close
down because of the overflow of the
Schuylkill, preparations were made to va
cate the mills, Goods were removed from
the basements to the upper floors. To
day the water had subsided so far that
there was little water In the basements
of a few mills and about a dozen homes.
The river reached a maximum of 10 feet
abovo normal after the second severe
rainstorm.
COUNCILS CRITICISED AGAIN
Failure to Provide Funds for Play
ground Teachers Brings Reprimand.
In a statement Issued by the Bureau
of Municipal Research Councils are se
verely criticised for falling to appropriate
BUfllclent funds to pay Instructors for

Dilating tho closing of these centres and

EVENING LEDGER MOVIE
WEEKLY NEWS MONDAY
Local and National Events to
Be Recorded for Photoplay
Fans by 25 Newspapers.
By the Photoplay Editor
Thero havo been news movies, Invading
the field of the dally paper to show photo
play audiences bits of this nnd that event
In some nntlvo city or foreign land. Now
tho newspapers are going to Invado the
movie and so organize the field of news
gathering by motion plcturo that tho
photoplay fan will get local news, ns well
as national, and tho best of both n Just
tho proportion that will please him.
The Evening Ledger has added a motion-picture
photogrnpher to Its staff of
pictorial news-gathcrcrs. From now on
he will be busy about town snapping
everything novel, overy news event, every
convention, parade, fire, wnsh-out, arrival
of dUtlugulshed men and, nil In all, re
flecting the llfo of tho wholo city.
Twctuy-four other lending papers In 1
of the biggest cities are co-operating with
tho lsvnNtNO LEDOiin. Together their out
put will form the National News Weekly.
Beginning Monday local theatres will
show n thousand feet of the brightest
and newest news film under that cap
tion. Flvo hundred feet of It will como
right from Philadelphia's news. The other
600 will be made up of the best nnd most
Interesting pictures taken by the other
21 papers. Through a central organiza
tion each BOO feet of film tnken In each
city will be edited and tho best and tlme
llept pictures selected to make up a com
posite half-reel that will be shown with
the strictly locat film. The distribution
of the National News Weekly will bo
handled through the offices of the World
Film Corporation, ono of the largest cx
changeo In tho country.
The news reel has undoubtedly n tre
mendous future before It. Already It has
"covered" many a big event with sur
prising promptness. Now, however, It
will hive rcportorlal acumen behind It and
a new Ideal In front. The educational side
of'the Wins has hitherto been embarrassed
by a lack o'f action. Beautiful mountnlns
ahd 'fdrergn cities have their Interest, but
how much It will be Increased by the
staging, so to speak, of news ngalnst
them:--Both the educational film and the
news film should reach their climax In
the National News Weekly.
Patho has Just made a contract with
Arnold Daly arranging for a series of
pictures to bo known ns the "Arnold Daly
Series." The "Ashton Kirk" novels, by
John C. Mclntyre, will bo plcturlzcd, and
Mr. Daly will create a detective new to
ih screen nnd ono which It Is expected
will be as famous as tho actor's Craig
Kennedy. The new character Is to be
known as Ashton Kirk. Investigator, nnd
will be carried thrdugh a scries of ad
ventures, each one complete In Itself, nnd
each to make a four-part feature.
Mr. Daly has assembled for his cast a
number of well known players. Sheldon
Lewis, tho Clutching Hand In "Tho Ex
ploits of Elaine," whoso work In tho Hth
episode Is still remembered. Is one. of
them. Louise nutter, recently leading
lady with William Gillette, will have tho
feminine lead. William Harrigan, son of
Edward J. Harrigan, and Just returned
from a two years' visit to Australia;
Charles Lalto. who has been In a number
of Mr. Daly's dramatic productions, ana
Martin Sabine, leading man with John
Drew and Maude Adams, aro the others
of the well-balanced cast.
At Coronado, Col.. Just ncross the bay
from San Diego, carpenters and other
workmen are rushing to mpMionlho
new studio and general plant which Is to
be operated by the Lubln Company.

Janla In "Nearly a Lady," a new film
subject starring this clever little artiste.
In presenting Miss Jnnls In "Nearly a
Lady" the producers offer n vehicle for
her that differs from previous fllm sub
jects In which she haB appeared. It af
fords her dramatic ability plenty of op
portunities to assert herself, and tho plc
turo dlsplnjo her In many situations. The
producers have taken particular pains to
jive Miss Jnnls the proper atmosphero In
which to work. Some of the most elabor
ate scenes were taken In tho famous
JKO.OOO swimming pool and palm garden
of Edward L. Dohcny's town house In
Los Angeles. Many of the palms seen
In the pictures are importations from the
Eohcny plantation properties In old Mex
ico. Other scenes ohowlng llfo on a big
Western ranch display a striking con
trast nnd lend a natural beauty to tho
play which greatly enhances Its merit
In addition to giving tho star particular
opportunity to show her real worth as
nn actress, "Nearly a Lady" shovs her
In several new feats. Including expert
swimming, lariat manipulation nnd horse
back riding. A lnrlat danco by Miss
JanlB, which Is embodied In the story, sur
prised oven tho cowboys who nppear In
tho picture, as did several exhibitions
with the rifle. Supporting Miss Jnnls nro
Myrtle Stcdman, Owen Moore, Frank El
liott, Harry Ham and Itoberta Hickman.
Miss Fannlo Ward will make her de
but as a photo-dramatic star In tho Jesso
L. Lusky Feature Play Company's "Tho
Marrlago of Kitty." by Frances de Croes
set and Fred do Gresac. In this produc
tion tho Lasky company Introduces .a
photoplay with another star from the

Theatre In New York city will play lt
mixed progrnm at prices up to (2.
This is the first time, says Georgo V.
Proctor, In Motion PIcturcrNcws, that a
mixed picture progrnm 1ms played nt
this price. Both "Cnblrla". nnd "Birth
of a Nation" have played nt 11 top roles,
but theso pictures constituted nn eve
ning's entertainment In themselves, Now,
$2 will bo charged for a program with
both drama and comedy In two or moro
subjects.
This sounds like a striking Innovation,
but so was every other important change.
Including the tlmo when "Quo Vadls?"
played at CO cents for tho orchestra, nnd
everybody held his breath with anxiety.
"Quo Vndls?" wns a success, nnd good
pictures havo had n striking habit of
being successful both beforo and since
then. So the answer lies In tho merit
of tho pictures even It i2 Is n lot of
money when ono has Just J1.P3 to spend.
Tho first release Is slated for some tlmo
between September 1 nnd October 1. The
policy Is a 1500-foot drama by Griffith, and
tho samo by Inco each week, nnd two
two-reel Scnnctt comedies each week.
It Is understood that tho Now York
Motion Plcturo Corporation and the He
llnnco nnd Majestic companies wilt not
make any moro Mutual masterpieces, anil
that all Mnjcstto releases will be mado
through Triangle nftcr October 1. Tho
Ilellnnco brand, so tho story continues,
will continue on the regular Mutual pro
gram with one, two nnd three-reel sub
jects. This haB no bearing on tho ques
tion of whether Nymp will continue to
mako pictures for Mutual or not. That
will come In later.
It Is officially announced that tho World
Fllm will release two features a week
after September 1.
Colonel William N. Sellg, president of
the Sellg Polyscope Company, Is busily
engaged In completing final preparations
for tho filming of "The Garden of Allah,"
by Robert Kitchens, Mr. Scllg's agents
have worked for sovcrnl months gather
ing tho essentials and planning the prop
erties and scenic environments for tho
forthcoming spectacle.
When tho Continental Photoplay Cor
poration leased a farm 17 miles from
Philadelphia for its first production, "A
Continental Girl," It acquired a most re
markable lake. For It Isn't a lake at
all. Though the shoet of water serves
all the many aquatic purposes ot tho new
feature film. In reality It's an old quarry.
One morning 23 yenrs ago, when the
quarry men reported for work, they found
their machinery covered with water and
a good-sized lako whero they had been
digging rock the day before. Sqme blast
had evidently opened a crevice Into a
subterranean stream.
As a reward for being Identified as an
actor with many of the most successful
Edison productions and evidence of tech

a number of comedies and dramas which
have gone well, Harry Beaumont has
