OiUSADE OF PORTER
ON GAMBLING HOUSES
Safety Director Will Drive Out
Sporting Fraternity, Though
Ho Is Denied Ample
Funds
HAS BIG LIST OF DIVES
Crippled through his inability to have
Councils provide sufficient funds to en
able him to wage an extensive campaign
ngalnsl gambling, Director Porter, of
the Department of Public Safety, Is mak
ing the figlj,t against the strongly en
trenched gamblers with the forces nt hl
dlsposnl. Gamblers during the Heyburn
Clay administration flourished virtually
unchecked, and despite the efforts of the
present Administration, aro reported
again to have started business In many
localities.
Director Porter means to wipe out the
"poker Joints" and "craps games" and to
drlvo tho handbook men from their favor
ite street corners. Most of the gnmbllng
houses and poolrooms reported are of tho
cheap variety, but n few ot the old-time
houses havo reopened recently.
Despite the vigilance of the authorities,
some "Joints" have been making money,
In all of these places there Is a feeling
of unrest nnd a lack of security that
kfceps many old-time patrons away. With
a list of some 40 gambling houses and
tho locations of many handbook men
known to the Director, the pollco wiy the
evil will slowly but (surely be stamped
out.
Director Porter has placed a number of
his most trusted men on tho work of rid
ding the city of tho old-time gamblers,
and a general clean-up Is likely to result.
The authorities recognize that they will
bo unable to stamp out gambling entirely,
but they will not permit any of tho known
places to show signs ot activity.
MANY DOWNTOWN "JOINTS."
In tho Tth Ward there are said to be an
exceptional number ot gambling houses,
nearly all "crap" Joints. Poker is al
lowed at some 6f them. According to a
list these places nro on Lombard street
near 16th, on Naudaln street near 17th,.
on Rodman street near 16th, on the same
street near 21st, on 19th street below
Lombard, on Naudaln street near 19th, on
Lombard street near l"th, on Rodman
street near ICth, on Lombard street near
15th, on Lombard street near 20th, on
South street near 15th and on Naudaln
street near 25th.
Some of the centrally located "Joints"
ore on 17th street. Just below Chestnut;
Walnut Direct, near 12th; 9th street, below
Chestnut: 3th street, below Chestnut; 16th
street, below .Market; Arch street, near
11th; Arrh street, near Id: 7th street, lust
bclcw Market: Sth street, near Callow
hill; Sth street, rnr Vine; and In Call
owhlll street, near Sth.
Fomo of the other places open are as
follows; Glrard avenue, near 9th; 10th
street, nenr Norrls; 11th street. Just 'bo
low Catharine: Race street, near 13th:
5th street, near Ruttonwood; Market
street, near 61st: Ridge avenue, near Ox
ford: 11th street, between Catharine and
Christian streets; Catharine street, near
8th: ISth street, near Christian.
Tho "Joint" on 7th street near Market,
probably, Is one of the boldest In the city
It was run brazenly in the Reyburn-Clay
regime and, except for a few months,
never was closed. It Is one of the most
profitable in the city.
WOMAN SUICIDE FOUND
Park Guards Recover the Body of
.. w Mrs. Edsall
Tark guards today found the body of
Mrs. George W. Edsall, of 6136 LUdlow
street, who hired a rowboat at a public
boathouse at 25th and Green streets
Thursday and disappeared. The boat,
empty except for a pair of slippers, two
barrettes and a handkerchief, was found
at the Columbia avenue bridge yesterday.
The body was recovered below the bridgo
nt noon today by Guards King and
Gowney.
Mrs. Edsall's husband, a newspaper
man. is convinced that his wife ended
her life and the police share his belief.
"Mrs. Edsall was melancholy nnd a
physician told me she was In a serious
condition," said Mr. Edsall. "I would
have taken her to a hospital but the
physician ndvlsed ngalnst 't."
The state of Mrs. Edsall's mind wn
revealed by several Hlbllcal quotations
and clippings which were contained in
her pocketbook. One of them wns, "I
wilt lay me down In peace and sleep, for
Thou, Lord, only makest mo dwell In
safety," from the Psalms.
Mrs. Edsall was about 30 years old and
pretty.

FIRST ELECTRIC TRAIN

Speed of 55 Miles an Hour At

New Service on Mine Line
The first electric train over the Main
Line of tho Pennsylvania Railroad was
operated today, leaving Paoll at B.BS
o'clock and running to Broad Street Sta
tion. When new winter schedules are
prepared. In nbout a month, the time
to Paoll will be cut four or five minutes
for electric trains nnd Main Line resi
dents will be able to take a little more
time at breakfast
Two test trains that reached a speed
of 80 miles an hour with ease wero run
over the line during the night as tho
final test of the 4,000,000 electric system.
The first passenger train traveled at
times ns fast as 65 miles an hour between
stations.
Crowds waited at every station to cheer
the crew of the train. Tho engineer was
W. J. McCllntock. ot Harrlsburg. Ho
wns accompanied on the first trip by his
fireman, Charles Hogentogler, of Paoll,
but tho latter had nothing to do. Wil
liam Hunter, of this city, was the con
ductor. So quickly does tho electric engine pick
up speed that at moBt stations the train
had to wait IS to 00 seconds to avoid be
ing ahead of time. Only ono train will
bo run over tho new system for the pres
ent. It will make four round trips dally
between Broad street station and Paoll.
Later all the Philadelphia trains on the
Main Lino will be run by electricity.
Commuters will have to depend alto
gether on their watches and clocks In
thf future, becauso the new engine makes
very Httlo noise, compared to that made
by a steam locomotive. It Is mniniu
with a new typo of powerful air-brakes,
uiiu c men 10 a stop more rapidly than a
steata train, and with an absolute lack

A COMMISSION of the Norway Parliament, debating
" whether a Prohibition law was expedient, or could be
enforced if passed, has voted an unmistakable "no." For
three years this Commission investigated the liquor question,
part of which study was made into legislative and other con
ditions affecting the alcoholic beverage business in the United
States. At the end of the three years' patient and analytic
study the Commission of Norway's Parliament gave a vote of
8 to 1 against Prohibition!
HTHIS Commission consisted of nine members. The ma
jority report, signed by six members, advised airainst
HTHEN, with the FACTS before them relative to the manu--
