A "BILLY" SUNDAY LEGACY TO PHILADELPHIA I II 1 JaWat'"" i)Jajy i W C tAKaiBaBBBiuBnBHilNsafiB fc - The city now faces an expense of $500 to clear away the rubbish left lyinjr in the Parkway site occupied by "Billy" Sunday's tabernacle before excavation can begin on the new library operations. The Sunday Campaign Committee, refusing to accept tho blnmo for .the donations of sawdust, broken chairs, hatpins, and boards left on tho tabernacle lot, says that some of the McNichol workmen engaged on the Parkway improvement deposited the stuff on tho vacant lot. This view was taken by an Evening Ledger photo grapher this afternoon. BRITISH TRANSPORT SUNK; 1800 LOST Hits Mine Off Dardanelles. Bodies of 600 Recovered, Says Sofia BERLIN, Sept. 3.

VARES GET MINOR OFFICES GALORE Continued from 1'age One the ofllces of City Treasurer and Re ceiver of Taxes. Vare men nro "slated" for the offices of Sheriff, Recorder of Deeds and to be one of the County Com missioners. These three offices are all gains In the Vare patronage. The Penrosc-McNIchol faction will have a checkicln on the 'Varcs In a patronage way, hLWever, through Smith. Smith Is a McNichol ward leader, and even in tho Vare camp there aro few who bcllevo ho has renounced any of his old allegi ance. He was at one time In Penrose's law office, and was started In the bond ing business by Penrose. As Mayor, Smith would have control of much of the City Hall patronage, and because of this power. Organization lead em today are predicting that no Vare dynasty will bo Bet up during the next four years should Smith be elected. "The machine will be In control," say Organization men today. They are, of course, not reckoning with tho strength tho Independents are gaining as the result of the revolt agalnBt the Smith plot, but they mean that under Smith there would bo n "fair division of the Bpolls," with neither faction dominating the adminis tration, FILED WITHDRAWALS. The withdrawal papers of Public Serv ice Commissioner John Monaghan and Htnto Representative Frederick Beyer vere filed In the County Commissioners' ofltco today. District Attorney Rotan and Robert J. McKenty, who have also agreed to withdraw In favor of Thomas B. Smith and Organization "harmony" on the mayoralty, have not yet withdrawn, hut are expected to do so tomorrow. Senator Boles Penrose, who 20 years ago started Thomas B. Smith In tho bonding business and through whose Influence Smith was appointed Poatmaster by President Taft, today lauded Smith as being fully qualltled for Mayor, It was tho first statement Penroso has made on the mayoralty. The Senator annbunced that "harmony" was "very gratifying" to him, and, of course, predicted an overwhelming Re publican victory In November. He did not mention Congressman Vare, who yes terday withdrew from the Organization mayoralty race In favor of the Penrose McNkhol candidate, Smith. WILL WIN. SAYS PENROSE. "I havo no doubt In my mind that the Republican ticket will be elected by a larger majority than the ticket received last November," said Senator Penrose. "I am. of course, gratified that har. mony exists In the working organization of the Republican party, and I believe that the candidate for Mayor who has been agreed upon will command the con fidence of ovcry one and will have all the qualifications of character and expe rience to a peculiar degree that will tit him to give a successful administration ot the rlty government. PRAISE FOR SMITH. "I have known Mr. Smith very well for over to years and am, of course, more than usually familiar with his ad ministration In the PostotTtce Department at Philadelphia. He was one of the best postmasters who ever administered the Philadelphia Postofflce, and the qualities which he displayed there give assurance of an equally successful administration "Ths registration of yesterdav u v. gratifying, particularly n view of the faet that It was brought out without any organized effort It shows the strong trend of the people back to the Republi can party in order to get rid as soon a posslblo of the Intolerable conditions brought upon the country by the Demo cratic Administration and legislation" Senator Penrose said that he wjlj 'ad dress the county meeting of the P O a of A, at Somerset on Labor Day T.

Kcegan, of 1914 Spring Garden street. One of the colonel's many complaints was that tho baseball eangcllst and his campaign committee neglected to carry off four or tlvc carloads of rubbish from his house, while In tho new case now threatening tho committee Is being bom barded for Just the same reason regard Ins the lot on which the tabernacle was built. Some time, when legal obstacles are re moved, tho city of Philadelphia expects to build a magnificent library on the site oc cupied by the Sunday temple. But before this may be done about (500 must be spent to remove the material obstacles in the way of sawdust, dirt, hat pins, pennies, broken chairs and various other kinds of rubbish that Is of no use to any one, and so has been permitted to remain on the site. Joseph M. Steele, chairman oft the cam paign committee, believes the rubbish was put on the lot by workmen employed by one of the McNichol contracting com panies engaged on Parkway Jmprove mentft. He will hold a conference with Henry It. Edmunds, president of the library board, within a few days. This determination was arrived at by Mr. Steele after he had received a com munication from another official of the library board, deputized by Mr. Edmunds. The letter set forth In harrowing detail, It is understood, the unsightly condition of the lot, and asked that the Sunday Campaign Committee immediately take steps to remove the debris. As In tho Kcegan case, however, Mr. Steele declined responsibility for the com mittee. He will attempt to prove this to the satisfaction of Mr. Edmunds and other members of the library board. Mr. Edmunds Is authority for the statement that unless the rubbish is removed by the committee legal action will be started.

She absolutely denied all knowledge ot the alleged conspiracy that resulted In the killing; of her husband, Dr. C, Frank lin Mohr, and the wounding of his house keeper. Miss Emily Burger. The funeral of Doctor Mohr, held today from his residence, win arranged by Mrs. Mohr and carried out under her direction. It was private. Mrs. Mohr Robbed softly throughout tho funeral services. With her as mourn ers were only the doctor's son by his first wife, her daughter. Virginia, and Doctor Mohr'a brother. Dr. Charles Mohr, of McEwensvIlIe, Pa. Mrs. Mohr gavo per mission for newspapermen to attend the services. A large crowd gathered outside the Mohr residence, and a battery ot cam eras was trained on the accused widow as she entered a carriage for tho ceme tery. She made no attempt to shield herself from the photographers. "I knew nothing about the dreadful conspiracy until the detectives told me," Mrs. Mohr declared. "They shot and killed Doctor Mohr and then tried to frame mo up. Yes, It was a frame-up," For cool nerve, Mrs. Mohr Is remark able. She was tho first to reach her husband's bedside at the Rhode Island Hospital. Within a few hours after his death she applied for the custody of his property, ntnountlng to $230,000. She has smiled nnd laughed ever since her arrest. That tho threo negroes, George W. Ilcalls, Henry Spellman nnd Cecil Brown, have made detailed confessions that tho physician's wife promised them $5000 to kill Doctor Mohr and disllguro Miss Bur ger apparently has not shaken the nerve of Mrs. Mohr. After her release on bail, she went, practically a free woman, to her little homo and amused herself with her children, ns though she had not a care In the world. Efforts already aro being mnde by the authorities to get In touch with Doctor Mohr's first wife, said to be In New York. Little has been known here of the former Mrs. Mohr since she figured In a sensational alienation suit brought In 1897 by Doctor Mohr against Dr. Wil liam Stevens, of New York. v Mrs. Mohr and tho three negroes are to bo arraigned before Judge Hammll at Warren, in Brlstot County, on September ib. uy tnat time, it Is believed, Mis Burger, her beauty forever marred by a bullet wound In her Jaw and shoulder, will bo able to leave, the hospital nnd glvo testimony. Today It was said tho young woman was out of danger. Tho name of another woman, Miss Flor ence Ormsby, Doctor Mohr's office at tendant, has been brought Into the murdor mystery. Miss Emily Burger, who was riding with Doctor Mohr when ho was shot, docs not know that her companion was killed. She continually asks for him and about his condition, nnd la betas' assured that "Doctor Mbhr Is resting well." Physicians at the Rhode Island Hospi tal are afraid to tell her of the death of Doctor Mohr, fearing It might shock her too much In her present critical condi tion. Miss Burger, lying in bed todny, told tho story of the shooting and of hor friendship with Doctor Mohr. "I tried for a long time to reconcile Doctor Mohr nnd his wife," said Miss Burger, "but it was Impossible. Doctor Mohr felt very bitterly toward his wife, and when my efforts to bring them to gether failed I did not feel that It was wrong for mo to go out with Doctor Mohr. "On the night of tho shooting Doctor Mohr and I started out from Stewart street with the negro chauffeur Healls driving tho car. Healls drove recklessly. Doctor Mohr spoke to me about a half dozen times concerning the rate at which; Healls was going, but he did not order Healls to check up. "We were somewhat surprised and P was a little suspicious when Healls sud denly stopped tho car with a Jerk under a big tree on the road. That was whtre mo oiiuuiiiik occurrea. iieaiis stooped over and put out the headlights. Then he climbed out of the car and began to, tinker with the engine. "He remarked: 'I am having trouble with tho gasoline,' but neither1 Doctor Mohr or I spoke to him. "Suddenly I heard a loud report. I thought It was the engine backfiring. la another moment thcro was another re port and I Jumped to my feet. Both sounded llko back fire from the exhaust. I saw blood flowing from Doctor Mohr's face. Aa I looked I felt a sharp pain In roy shoulder, the right one, and then another burning pain In my neck. "I still thought there had been an ac cldcnt to tho machine." "The first thing I did then was to Jumi out of the car Into the roadway. I don't remember whether I climbed over the door or opened It. I didn't see anybody but Healls. As I stood In the road h-J grabbed me by the arm, dragging me under the tree and threw me down oru the ground. The left side of my face struck something and I don't remember anything else. I didn't see any other people except Healls and Doctor Mohr." Rest is relative. To some it's sleep; others think it's serene, loafing ; but a noted Philadelphian's idea of a quiet time is to chase around wild things in the bitter cold.
