Canvass of Voters
Director George D Porter announced
today he will not bo a party to any fac
tional fight for the Washington party
nomination for Mayor, thnt he la tiot
planning to go on tho stump during the
primary campaign nnd that the pollco
wilt be entirely free to vote as they wish
in the Mayoralty election.
The Director, In an Interview, declined
to enter Into' a controversy with Colonel
Sheldon Potter, who Is opposing him for
the Independent nomination. He would
not comment on Colonel Potter's state
ments regarding the administration sup
port having been given to Porter at a
conference held In the Mayor's odlce.
"The responsibility for any factional
fight that might split a party will not
rest with me," he said. "1 will not enter
Into any controversy with Mr. Potter."
The Director said that he Intends to let
the campaign drift along as it Is at
present, so far as he Is concerned. In
answer to a question regarding his cam
paign plans, he said:
"I do not cbntemplato attending any
ward meetings or making any public ad
dresses, t really have no plans. I am In
the hands of my friends."
The Director said that he Is now pre
paring his platform. Ho expects to an
nounce It In about a week.
"It will be short and to the point," he
said.
He vigorously denied assertions made
by Republican Organization men that he
will use the police and firemen to his own
advantage, as former Directors have used
them in other compalgns.
"I want It distinctly understood," he
said, "that no orders have been Issued,
and none will be Issued to the police, ex
cept the usual elections day Instructions.
They are free to vote as they wish. The
police and Hrcmen vote as Individuals.
While working at their duties for the
city they owe me allegiance only In my
official capacity as their head."
Adherents of Director Porter In every
ward, ot th city are ringing doorbells to
day for the purpose of getting voters to

MARYLAND MOB FOILED
IN ATTEMPT TO LYNCH
MAN WHO SLEW THREE
Murderer Hurried From Jail
and Taken Aboard Boat
Bound for Baltimore as
Farmers Assemble
OFFICIALS THREATENED
BALTIMORE. Sept. 7. A dash from the
Jail In Salisbury In custody of the Sheriff
and deputies saved Frank Grano, triple
murderer, from lynching this morning.
Grano Is now safe in Jail here. Yesterday
he murdered a Worcester County farmer,
his wife with whom he was Infatuated,
and a farm hand.
The county authorities frustrated sev
eral attempts to lynch the man and took
ilm to Salisbury In the adjoining county.
A mob, many of them men In auto
mobiles, which gained strength as it
made Its way toward the Wicomico
County seat, set out to lynch the mur
derer. Early this morning Grano was hurried
ly removed from tho Jail, taken to Cam
bridge )n an automobile and brought to
Baltimore on the State steamboat Uov
ernor Thomas.
When the removal of the Italian from
Salisbury became known, the Infuriated
farmers made threats against the au
thorities. The mob finally dispersed and
the Eastern Shoro town has resumed Us
normal quiet.
Grano shot and killed Levin P. Robin
son, Mrs. Robinson and Alonzo Reddin, a
farmhand employed by Robinson. The
woman was shot down In the hallway of
the house as she tried to pacify the man,
who acted like a maniac. Grano then
shot Roblpson and Redding, who were
coming to the yroman'a aid. The mur
derer, the officers say,, declared he meant
to kill himself, but lost his nerve.
Grano, according to the officers, admit
ted the triple murder In almost Incoherent
statements and declared he was actuated
by Jealousy when he learned that Reddin
had stolen the affections of Mrs. Robin
son, whom Grano loved.
Prank Grano, the Italian who shot and
killed three persons at Snow Hill, Md., Is
said to have confessed to the police at
Salisbury, Md., that his real name is Car
mine Bturopo, who shotand killed his
wife and seriously wounded two men in
this city In 1913. Grano Is suld to have
declared that he lived In Lelper street,
near Unity, Frankford. Detectives will
go tq Maryland today In an effort to
Identify the .man.
According to the police of the Frank
ford district, Htumpo was quarreling with
his wife on Lelper street In 1913, when
he drew a revolver and began firing. The
first two shots missed her and struck
pedestrians, but the third shot killed the
woman.
Stumpo escaped through an alley and
has not been seen In Philadelphia since.
A description ot him was sent broadcast,
but no word of his whereabouts waa re
flved by thet police until the news ot the
alleged confession of urs.no came toaay,

BACKED TO KILL BOOM
Atlantic City Mayor Picks Young
Officeholder to Check Godfrey's
' Hopes
ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. 7.-Should a
young man whose father had sent him
through college and provided him with all
the comforts of a good home stand up
against such a parent and cause political
embarrassment?
Or should he defy his superior In public
otllce, In order to free hlnifcelt from such
a dllemmn?
And how is this effected! If the son has
no desire to occupy n particular public
office ; but If, on the other hand, his ovn
success might spell political disaster for
his father?
These are questions Albtrt Beyer, Jr.,
son of City Commissioner Albert Beyer,
Atlantic Clty' director of finance, Is ask
ing himself. Ills answer will determine
whether the large number of voters who
would like to nee Atlantic City made a
"liberal" town, with wide-open saloons,
are gclnt; to have a representative In the
race for Assembly this fall.
Beyer, Jr.. Is secretary to ayor Wil
liam Riddle, sclf-constltutcd leader of
the llberallsts at the shore, it was Rld
dlo who persuaded Beyer, who, like Ills
father. Is a Republican, to file papers as
a candidate for Assembly.
Riddle Is a political antagonist of Carl
ton Godfrey, a banker, a candidate for
re-election to the Assembly, of which
ho was Speaker last winter, who will be
a candidate for the governorship a year
hence. Rtddlo sought a way to striko
at .Godfrey's candidacy, hoping either to
defeat him In the Assembly raco or to
so reduce the normal majority as to
weaken him as a gubernatorial possi
bility. But Mayor Riddle, In persuading his
young secretary to Jump Into the Assem
bly fight, overlooked ono thing. He for
got that Commissioner Beyer Is a close
friend of Assemblyman Godfrey. He
forgot also that It was probable Director
Beyer would Intimate decidedly to his
eldest son that he owed him some con
sideration. This Is the situation the whole town Is
talking about today.
"My son mado this move without con
sulting me." tho elder Beyer sald, with
characteristic directness. "I am an ear
nest supporter of Assemblyman Godfrey,
whoso candidacy may be damaged by
my son If he stays In the contest."
Wagers were made today that young
Beyer would be out of the contest before
the end of the week, even If such a
course should cost htm his $1200 place aa
Mayor Riddle's secretary. He Is known
as a clean-cut chap, who played tackle
on the Lafayette football team and has
gone straight ns a die since he began to
be known In official circles.
"It Is true I never consulted my father,"
the Liberal Sunday candidate for Assem
bly said today. "If I had I never would
have dono this thing, because I would
not intentionally endanger his political
future for a whim of my own. I've got
one of the best dads In this world."
It Is tho oddest political contretemps
Atlantic City ever has known. Commis
sioner Beyer haH been Inordinately proud
ot his big family of boys and girls. The
chances aro his pride will not lose out
to the Sunday llberallsts.
"A Little Child Shall Lead Them"
A 2-year-old girl, with bright golden
curls and deep blue eyeK, stood before
Magistrate Morris In the 19th and Oxford
streets police station today and saved
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Rellly,

HUNT SEALS IN SCHUYLKILL
School of Six Believed to Be in Fair
mount Park
A seal thrust his wet and Bhinlng nose
above the surface of tho Schuylkill River,
in upper Fairmount Park today, and liked
the air so much that he decided to spend
a little whllo on the surface. Five min
utes later his day dream was Interrupted
by tho boom of a shotgun, and he dived
Just as a sportsman on the river bank
let fly the other barrel.
The seal Is supposed to be one of the
six that escaped from the Fairmount
Park amiarlum two years ago. Since that
time not one of the animals had been
reen until today, and It was supposed
they wero dead. Tho appearance of one,
however, has given rise to the belief that
the entire school may still bo In the
river, and Park guards are keeping a
sharp lookout.

every morning, don't you?"
"Flowers to tho fairest blossom of all!"
gurgled Dick spoonlly "I send you a
token of love every day, no matter what
tho cost!"
They paused for an exchange of kisses.
"Sweetie man," cooed the girl, present
ly, when she had got her breath, "would
It be possible, now and then, to send
along a couple of pounds of sugar, or a
loaf or two. Instead of tho flowers? It
wouldn't cost any more, nnd It would np
