t physician, It Is estimated that a large
perecentage of them would follow the
footsteps of their 10 comrades. The
workers say they have neither the time
nor the money for such a purpose.
Tuberculosis among the workers Is 10
times higher than the rate In the United
States army; thr.ee out of every four have
defective vision, due to poor lighting In
the shops (the Investigators urged ade
quate Illumination to remedy this): 1 out
of every 10 has nervous affections; half
of then, or 3000 in this city, have faulty
posture from bending over their work.
These are some of the evils that ar,e rife
In the trade. And tho workers are un
able to combat them.
"It will do no good to strike for better
hygienic conditions," said one of the men
"The manufacturers would not gtant the
i demands and the workers are truly thanlt
ful when they can make enough to give
their families food and clothes. Some
, times the shops are so fearful that our
' people can't work In them. A week or so

AVUrtAGK WAGES S TO $10;
The trade lias two busy seasons one
In the fall and one In the spring. Both
last about 10 weeks. During the busy
eatons, If the worker keeps on the Job
It hours or more a day and seven days a
seek, he can make as high as (-0 a week.
It he Is so successful as to do this. It
brings his m erase for the year round to
IS or $10 a weuk.
The fall season is now In full blast, and
It increases the evils characteristic of the
trade. As regards this both the workers
and the Government report agree. Tile
manufacturers and the workers here once
alined an agreement to limit the working
hourj per week to 52, with a maximum of
alx hours' oveitlme for every seven days.

Nomination -Papers for County Com
missioner Attacked in Court
The nomination papers of Joseph Fa
bian, on the Washington party ticket for
County Commissioner, were withdrawn
today when It was brought out at a
further hearing on the objections to the
petition beforo Judge Patterson that sev
eral of the signatures were forgeries and
that one signer was not a naturalized

Harry Freeman, of U9 South 4th street,
and Andrew Willis Graham, also signers
of the petition, were severely, repri
manded by Judge Patterson for Interfer
ing with witnesses subpoenaed to appear
In court last week and explain If they
were members of the Wnshlngton party
nnd entitled to sign the petition.
There were 101 signers to the petition,

It did not contain the requisite number
of Washington party electors to mako
It a valid nominating petition under tho
law. Witnesses who failed to answer
subpoenas last week were brought In this
morning on attachments. They declared
that they had failed to obey the sum
mons because Freeman and Graham told

poenas. Judge Patterson then told Freeman and
Graham that If they again Interfered

would be sent to Jail.

the young woman who has Instituted a
breach of promise suit against John Wan
amaker, Jr.. asking $100,000 damages be
cause, she nllcges, he asked her to marry
him, nre something of a mystery. She has
left the Hotel Laurclton, on West 65th
street, New York, where she has been liv
ing, and left no address other than that
of her lawyer. It was said nt the hotel
that sho gavo up her apartment Satur
day night.
Miss Storer, who Is known by the sobri
quet of "Cap," was formerly one of the
Zlcgileld Show chorus girls. She has thus
far refused to discuss the case with re
porters. When she left the hotel Satur
day she was accompanied by Miss Jean
net to Cook, with whom she shared her
apartment and who stopped with her at
the Blltmore when sho registered there
one night last week. They said nothing
regarding their destination, took their
baggage with them In a taxlcab nnd

way, care of Mr. Connelly.
Henry M. V. Connelly, of that address.
Is Miss Storer's attorney, through whom
Bhtt brought suit. He has denied that his
client was ever on tho stage or that she
contemplated becoming an actress.
Mr. Connelly said that Mr. Wauamaker,
who Is the son of Rodman Wanamaker
and grandson of John Wanamaker, called
at Miss Storer's home frequently. He de
clared that ho often took her out, going
to theatres, cafes and the homes of

"The fact that Mr. "Wanamaker and
Miss Stoler were engaged to marry was
no secret," said the lawyer. "Neither dis
played any desire to conceal the fact.
Miss Storer prepared her tiousscau, and
Mr. Wanamaker introduced her to his
friends as Ills fiancee. When Miss Storer
returns I probably shall have a state
ment to make concerning the suit."
Miss Storer is a native of Cincinnati,
Mr. Connelly said, and came to New
York three years ago to visit friends.
She and Mr. Wanamaker met In an
Orthodox fashion, he asserts. '
A motion is pending in the Supreme
Court to have " the case transferred to
the United States Circuit Court becauso
Mr. .Wanamaker lives In Philadelphia
and Miss Storer in New York State.

ment on the Broad street subway work,
under City Hall. The foreman In charge
for tho' Kcstono State Construction
Company, took on more than a hundred
laborers and the others were told more
men would be needed within a few days.
The work began In earnest today. The
southern and western sections of the
courtyard and the northwest corner of
the plaza had been entirely ripped open
on Saturday and yesterday, and the ex
cavation began today.
Within tho courtyard the excavation
for the big pit, which Is to houso the
hydraulic pumps used In connection with
the City Hall elevator system, wns be
gun. On the plaza outside digging on the
subway jiroper wns started. The heavy,
wooden framework which is to support
the electrical dredging machinery has
been almost completed In both places.
S. M. 8waab, chief engineer In charge
of the construction of the subway, decided
today to move tho heavy bronzo statues
of Dr. Joseph Leldy and John Christian
Bullitt from their present locations on
the plaza in order that all possibility
of their being injured may be removed.
The statue of Doctor Lcldy Is situated
on the west side of the plaza and nortn
of the Market street cntranco to tho
courtyard, whllo the, other Is located on
tho southern side and west of the Broad
street entrance Derricks to effect tho
moving of the statues from tho line ot
the subway wero put In place today.
As the work proceeds, It will be neces
sary to close off the southern end of the
Broad street passageway during the
n'ght hours, diverting the north nnd
uouth pedestrian traffic through the cor
ridors of the building.
On the western end of the Market
street passageway safety barriers will
bo erected, leaving a space of about 10
feet for wagon traffic and leaving about
one-third tho width of the present pas
sageway for passenger traffic.
In addition to the big hole In the court
yard nnd fhe wide excavation at the
northwestern corner of the building a tO
foot shaft will be sunk at the southern
end of the .City Hall later. The pave
ment will probably be removed today
for beginning the work.

JITNEYMEN AGAIN
REPULSED IN COURT
Judges Decline to Grant Injunc
tion Against Enforcement
of Ordinance
The Jltneymen were blocked again to
day In two moves designed to permit them
to resume business ot once. Judge Pat
terson refused the request of Michael
Francis Doyle for the Philadelphia Jitney
Association and the South Philadelphia
Jitney Owners' Association for a pre
liminary Injunction.
Judge Flnletter, In Court of Common
Pleas No. 4, refused to grant a prelim
inary Injunction or hearing In the bill In
equity, llled by Harry Shapiro nnd Harry
M. Berkowltz for the Union Motor Bua
Company, to restrain the city from en
forcing the ordinance. Ho said ho be
llevcde a lhearlng would be a review of
tho hearing beforo Judge Ferguson some
time ago, nnd that It would bo undigni
fied of him to grant It. September 10
was set as a date to begin argument for
a permanent Injunction In this case.
Mr. Dojlo told Judge Patterson that tho
Jitney drivers are losing $3000 a day
through the enforced cessation of busi
ness. Ho pointed out that the associa
tions he represents are not connected
with the Jitney Auto Service Compnny.

WOMAN FOUND DEAD
Itf ROOMING MOW
-
Tattooed Arms May Lend to
Unraveling of Mystery,
Police Believe
A pretty, well-dressed young woman,
whose tattoed arms showed a life of as
sociation with men who follow the sea
ns their calling, died In the Roosevelt
Hospital today from poisoning a short
time after she had been taken from a
room at 430 North Franklin street, where
sho had lived for two days.
A man who registered at the rooming
houstf as her husband Is missing, and
the police nro searching for him. They
believe thnt he will be able to shed light
on the cause of her death and disclose
her Identity.
Both arms ot the woman were covered
with tattoo marks. These Interested de
tectives greatlv, and furnished them their
first clue to the mystery. On the left
arm was the Inscription, "V. B. 8. Maine."
Below It was a heart with an arrow
piercing It, tho Initials A. H. B, and the
ono word, "Love." It Is these tattoo
marks, It Is belteved, that will furnish
a cluo to a tragic life.
On the right arm was the name W. A.
Holmes, and tho police aro on the look
out for a man bearing this name. They
think It Is barely possible that this may
have been the man who came to the
house with her.

1$ The assortments .of

the largest, richest, most

( But beyond the mere
question of bigness of
selections is the beauty
of these selections the
choice, exclusive char
acter of the materials,
models and making, and
the eternal Perry indi
viduality of taste and
treatment.
In a. word, they are a
continual unfoldment of
variety exhausting the
riches of design and

pealing to Philadel

Perryesque is their
price-range. When 'we
