The independents today took steps to
complete tho ticket with which they will
light the election of tho Republican Or
ganization candidates for Mayor and the
"Row" offices.
No deflnito ticket has been decided upon
as yet, but leading members of tho Public
Service Committee of 100, following tho
meeting last night at which plans wero
made for forming a new political party
with which to carry on their light, tho
names of high-class men aro being con
sidered for every office.
THE TICKET DISCUSSED.
The ticket as discussed follows:

GKOIIGE D. COX or POWELL EVANS
Recorder of Deeds
WILLIAM F. DEAKYNE or
POWELL EVANS
Coroner
DIl. PHILIP II MOORE
City Controller
JOHN M. WALTON
Clerk of the Courts
IJENJAMIN rtENSIIAW
A majority of the members of the Com
mittee of One Hundred favor the candi
dacy of Porter, but he has not been in
dorsed by tho committee as yet. This
action probably will bo takei, howevpr,
nt the meeting of the Executive Commit
tee of tho Committee of One Hundred
next Wednesday.
Nono of the names connected with any
of tho "Row" offices has been definitely
determined upon. Members of the com
mltee today made It clear that the ticket
named abovo has only been put forth as a
suggeshtlon, and that changes may be
made before the independents' ticket
Is finally Indorsed.
SCOTT'S RECORD.
Samuel B. Scott, mentioned as the Inde
pendents' candidate for City Solicitor,
was a Washington party candidate for
the Legislature of 1913 from the Ger
mantown district. He was defeated for
re-election by a narrow margin In the
Republican landslldo last fall.
George D. Cox has been indorsed for
Sheriff by tho Washington Party City
Committee. Ho Is Select Councilman
from the 41d Word. Powell Evans was
chairman of the body of business men.
who brought about a reorganization of
tho Committee of 100 and who took the
first step In tho campaign of the Inde
pendents this year.
William F. Deakyne Is a former Wash
ington party leaCer. He was treasurer
of tho Washington Party City Commltteo
in 1912 and 1913.
There is apparently no Indication of
any plan of tlie independents to oppose
the re-election of Captain Walton, and
it is probable that he will be Indorsed
by tho Committee of 100.
Dr. Philip H. Moore, who Is being
urged by the independents to enter the
contest for Coroner, Is a powerful "in
dependent leader In West Philadelphia.
He lost a seat in the present Common
Council to which his friends thought he
had been elected two years ago, when
the coutts decided in an election contest
In favor of Dr. William D. Bacon, an Or
ganization lieutenant. Magistrate Ben
jamin Rcnshaw, who will most probably
make the fight against Thomas W. Cun
ningham for Clerk of the Courts, is a
Washington Party man and was formerly
committing Magistrate at City Hall.

party In the field for the campaign thla

which was attended by the Campaign
Committee pf the Committee of 1000 and
by workers and prominent citizens from
nearly every ward In the city, The nam
of the new party will be kept a secret

Tho committee has until October 12 In
which to pre-empt the title for the new
party. Some time before that date five
men In each ward and 15 at large In the
city will visit the Independent headquai
ters at 213 South Broad street and will
sign the pre-emption papers together.
Then the papers will be taken to the
County Commissioners' office and the

filing.
The purpose of the new party. It was
explained at the meeting last night, is
to provide a means to gain the support
of electors who do not want to be
identified with any of the three national
parties. The new party wl'l be purely
municipal In Its scope
A special Porter campaign club was
organized In the 22d Ward last night.

mob would seize and lynch Robert Smith,
a negro, accused of assaulting a 13-year-old

VARE CANDIDACY TAKES
AWAY M'NICHOL SMILE
Congressman Mooro Visits Col
league, to Find Out If
Ho "Will Run.
Terso comment on the candidacy of
Congressman William S. Vare Is being
made In tho Pcnrose-McNlchol faction of
the Republican Organization, following
tho filing of nomination papers for the
Mayoralty by Vare,
Senator McNIchol lost his usual smile.
Tho suggestion was made that the filing
of Vare'a papers "knocked McNlchol'8
harmony talk to smithereens."
His anwer was, "So that's your only In
terpretation." Congressman J. Hampton Moore, fo
whom a clty-wlde boom was launched
several weeks ago by manufacturers, vis
ited Congressman Varo In tho latter'a
ofllco lato yesterday. After his confer
ence with Vare Mooro gave out tho fol
lowing statement:
"1 called on my colleague, Mr. Vare,
nnd his brother, the Senator, to discuss
the Mayoralty situation, not as a candi
date, but ns one Interested In tho success
of the Republican ticket In 1916. I also
sought to nnd out whether the Congress
man Intended to run for Mayor, since
both he nnd I have been mentioned In
that connection.
KNOWS VARE POSITION.
"Inasmuch as wo have been In Con
gress together for several years and
have worked In common for tho develop
ment of tho city. It seemed appropriate
and timely that I should havo this talk
wun mm. wnat the Congressman said
as to his attitude, I am not free to dis
cuss, but I think I know where he
stands."
R. Lincoln McNeil, chairman of tho
Board of Directors of the Kensington
Board of Trade, also issued a state
ment. In which ho asserted that the
Board, as a body, had not Indorsed
Thomas B. Smith or ay one clso for
'Mayor. Ho denied that tho meeting of
tho "northwest business men," presided
over by A. C. Keelcy, president of the
Board, was a meeting of Board members.
The meeting was bald several days ago,
and Smith was Indorsed by the men who
attended.
No new candidates for Mayor havo
appeared today. Director of City Transit
A. Merrltt Taylor today amplified his
statement announcing that he Is not a
candidate. Ills statement follows;
"During tho campaign for adequate
rapid transit facilities in Philadelphia,
many earnest and enthusiastic citizens
have rallied to the support of tho depart
ment of city transit regardless of their
political affiliations. I am informed that
certain of these Individuals who have ac
corded me their friendship and support,
which I value most highly, aro now cir
culating nomination papers in various
sections of tho city, with a view of hav
ing mo become a candidate for tho
mayoralty. It would be unfair on mv
part to permit them to thus expend their
tlmo and efforts when It is my firm de
cision that under no conditions will I
become a candidate for the mayoralty.
PAPERS AIDED TRANSIT.
"TWa aiinaaa nf mV ffnHjl tft Rtabllsh
the much-needed high-speed lines In
Philadelphia has been due to the gener
ous support which has been accorded
the department by the newspapers re
gardless of their political tendencies, and
by the citizens of every political party.
"Last winter when a relentless public
campaign was being waged for the Im
mediate establishment of the high-speed
lines. It will be remembered that certain
Individuals attributed my activities to a
desire for political preferment. In order
to correct this misapprehension, I took
the opportunity to define my position at
the public mass-meeting, held In the
Academy of Mnslc. on February 21, and
there made the following public state
ment: 'I have no desire to be Mayor of
Philadelphia or to hold any other puo
office.'
"As a result, the newspapers and citi
zens, regardless of political affiliations,
rallied to the support of tho Department
of Cltv Transit, which support was per
sistently carried to a successful conclu
sion. "It would bo Impossible for me to disre
gard these facts and to permit politics to
become a factor In Important work which
still remains to be performed by the De
partment of City Transit, with the aid of
a united press and a united citizenship, to
the end that Philadelphia may have not
only adequate transit facilities, but the
best transit facilities obtainable, operated
In n manner calculated to best serve the
public.
"1 am very grateful for the support and
confidence which has been accorded the
Department and me personally."
Tho Building Trades Council of Phila
delphia met at 1312 Filbert street last
night, nnd demanded a "harmony" candi
date for Mayor. Resolutions were adopt
ed and sent to City Chairman David II.
Lane, asking for absolute haimony in
the Republican ranks, '-'In order to se
cure a return of general prosperity."
The resolution asserted that It repre
sented the sentiment of 65,000 voters.

The battalion consisted of four com
panies, totaling 180 men and officers,
who were picked for their attendance and
rlfle-practlce records. They wore new
olive drab uniforms and moved In full

guard for tho bug that bit the baby, who
is now nt the home of a relative. Dooley
Is conscientiously writing dow;i all sug
gestions given him for catching the ani
mal or bug or whatever it is. He now
tins C74 Buch Ideas on hand, and ho In
tends to try them out on that bug If It
takes tho rest of the year to do It.
Ono man called up Dooley and said:
"D'ye wanna know how to kill that
bug?"
"I. do," said Dooley, hoarsely.
"Step on It," said tho voice, earnestly.
"Step on It good and hard." Then tho
speaker hung up.
A bunch of bananas will be hung In the
room whoro tho bug was last seen today.
If It Is a scorpion, which Is not a bug,
but an animal. It will come out to eat the
banar.as. Dooley will then creep stealth
ily up on It, his eyes glittering with
frenzy, rage and determination, nnd
break Its spinal column with a blow from
a baseball bat.
No bug with a broken spinal column can
put up much of a fight. The bug, or
animal, will wallow around on the floor
biting the carpet and the floor board nails,
while Dooley hastens to get a sharpened
poker. With this he will dash up nnd
pierce tho bug or animal through tho
heart, thus killing it.
AN INTERESTING and illuminine article entitled "Alcohol
ism and Crime" (now in its second edition) has been
written by Thomas Speed Mosby, member of American Insti
tute Criminal Law and Criminology and former Pardon Attor
ney of Missouri. Some extracts from this analytic and thought
ful treatise follow. Says Mr. Mosby:
"HT HE STATEMENT has been freely made that 75 per cent
A of the crime of the United States is due to the use of
alcoholic drinks. That statement is not true of any State in the
American union, nor is it true of the United States, nor of any
foreign nation. Penal statistics do indicate that from 20 per cent,
to 60 per cent of the population of the various American state
prisons have been addicted in some degree to the use of intoxi
cating liquors, but in all my professional reading and omciai
experience I haoe never learned of any penitentiary contain
ing a total inebriate population of at much at 20 per cent. .

PRESIDEiYr AGAINST
CHANGES IN TARIFF
BY NEXT CONGRESS
Unalterably Opposed to Any
Revision With Possible Ex
ception of the Sugar
Schedule
LAW NOT YET TESTED
WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.-'Wlth the pos
sible exception of tho sugar schedule,
President Wilson Is expected unalterably
to opposo any revision of the tariff at
the coming session of Congress. He has
told Senator Simmons, Representative
Kltchln and other Congressional leaders
that tho present tariff law has not had
a fair chance to Bhow what it can do.
And ho believes thnt It should bo retained
with only minor changes.
Kvcn on tho question of sugar the Pres
ident has not yet taken a positive stand.
Ho Is waiting investigations of cost of
production now being made by the Agri
cultural Department.
Tho President has ndmlttcd to thoso
who havo discussed the matter with him
that much money will have to be provided
by the next Congress for extraordinary
expenses, and especially for the national
defense. But this money, he believes,
should bo raised by the Issuance of short
term notes or short-term bonds.
Such an Issue the President believes
would bo very popular throughout the
country.
It also Is the Intention of the Admin
istration to ask that tho war taxes now
In force, which automatically expire in
December, bo renewed for nnothcr year.
It Is possible that revisions will be made
In tho existing taxable nrtlclcs, but thla
has not yet been determined,
PEACHES GLUT CITY MARKET
Dealers Attempt to Check Influx of
Rccord-Brcaking Crop
Commission merchants on Dock street
aro trying today to chock shipments of
peaches from Delaware and New Jersey.
Kn creat has been tho Influx of the fruit
during tho Inst few days that a glut on
tho market resulted nnd prices camo
down lower thnn nt any tlmo In the
memory of tho local merchants.
Teaches todny are selling for as llttlo
as five cents a basket In some cases.
It Is said that more peaches are coming
Into this city than nt any other time dur
ing the Inst 10 years. Not In years hat
the New Jersey and Delaware crop been
so good. The oversupply of peaches
will seriously affect tho farmers and pllo
thousands of dollars loss on the losses
already sustained by inability to dispose
of vegetables this year. Tons of peaches
aro lying In the fields unpicked and un
less the demand Increases It Is likely the
farmer will not troublo to pick them.
COSTS HER $25,000 TO WED
Father's Will Reveals Punishment for
Secret Marriage
NEW YORK, Aug. 23. Because she
married without her father's consent, as
his will states, Mrs. Annie Schrlvcr Mc
Elroy, of New City, loses $23,000. accord
ing to tho document. Just probated by
Surrogate McCaulcy, of Rockland County.
In his will John Schrlver made It clear
that had his daughter married with his
approval he would have left one-half of
his estate, which Is valued at J50.000, to
her. Instead she gets only 30. The rest
goes to his son.
JT CtS Versus
Fallacies
FACT is a real state of things. FALLACY is an appar
ently genuine but really illogical statement or argument.
OpcRTY per cent of the inmates of this penitentiary are
a victims of intemperance,' says a prison warden. He
would have said substantially the same thtng had he declared
that CO per cent of his convicts were men of temperate habits
and sober lives. But the fact that 60 per cent of 'il rison popula
tion are men of temperate habits is no argument' against tem
perance, nor is the fact that 40 per cent of-them have used alco
holic drinks an argument against intemperance. It would be
just as rational to attack the Prohibitionists because a sober man
commits a crime as it is to assail the practice of drinking alco
holic beverages when a drunken man commits a crime of similar
nature. .....

GARRISON'S ANSWER
TO ROOSEVELT THRUST
"When You Stub Your To,
Now, You Aro Too Old to
Cry," War Secretary
Telia Him
SAYS CASE IS CLOSED
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-"Tut, tut.
Colonel." Is Secretary of War Garrison's
reply to former President Roosevelt's at
tack of last night. The Secretary pre
pared a statement In answer to Roose
velt which. he gave out today. It followo'
"The enso Is closed and the verdict
must stand.
"Thero la nothing In Mr. Roosevelt'a
pica to reopen the case that would make
It proper to do so. The personal and of
ficial relations between General Wood
and myself concern us nnd do not prop
erly concern Mr. Roosevelt I do not
require Mr. Roosevelt's assistance to de
termine what I should do and I seriously
doubt If tho General does.
"The Administration (outside of my
relf) hna had nothing whatever to do
with this matter, and Mr. Roosevelt,
therefore, could not have obtained nny
authentic knowledge of the views of the
Administration concerning his speech or
his conduct from anything that I have
said or do now,
"As to his assumption that I object to
the making of strong speeches for proper
military preparedness, it would be Im
possible for him to entertain a more un
warranted one. I have gone to the limit
of my vocabulary In an endeavor to
make such pleas Just as strong as words
cculd mako them. If he has found some
stronger than I wns able to rind, he run
tho risk that I will borrow them.
"Ho will, I feel sure, permit me to do
so much, without requiring also to bor
row hln Idea that our present state of
unprcparedncss makes it desirable to en
gage In war with four or Ave other na
tions. "As to 'buffoonery' tutl tut! Colonel!
Remember that when you stub your toe,
now, you are too old to cry, even If It
hurts too much to laugh."
