COOL SCENES
"DRYS" ELATED OVER
SOUTH CAROLINA VOTE
Homer W. Tope Declares Prohi
bition Victory Will Affect
Outcome in Ohio
Supporters of prohibition In this city
were elated today over tho action of the
voters of South Carolina yesterday, in
voting to make that State dry after Jan
uary 1.
Their sentiments as to the victory were
expressed by Homer "W. Tppe, head of
tho Anti-Saloon League In Philadelphia.
He said:
"I. am Jubilant pver the results of the
election. It Is only another indication of
how the prohibition wave is sweeping over
the country. Before the election 65 per
cent of the population of South Carolina
lived In dry counties, and. when State-wldef
prohibition came up for a general vote
there was little doubt as to the outcome.
Governor Glenn, of South Carolina, told
me when he was here recently, that he
thought prohibition would win by about a
30,000 majority. .
The result refutes the- statements of
the liquor dealers that the prohibition
wave In, the South would soon recede. I
know It is stronger there now than it
ever was.
'I sm particularly pleased with the vic
tory' at this time. It will have a very
decided effect, I think, on the vote on
State-wide prohibition In Ohio in Novem
ber. Ohio is going wet or dry hy a very
close margin, and everything bearing on
prohibition affects the Bentlment there.
While 80 per cent, of the counties In
Ohio now have local option, Cincinnati
and Cleveland still are in the wet col
umn, The majority of the Voters live In
those two cities. There is every reason,
however, to believe that with South Caro
Una tho nineteenth prohibition State in
lino, Ohio will be the twentieth after No
vember." E. T. Fleming, secretary of the Na
tional Herald, a weekly publication de
voted to, the interests of the "wets,"
tefused to comment on the outcome in
South Carolina.

LEASE OF KEYSTONE WHKKt x W ." - -r 1
CABLE DUCTS OPPOSED i ' i I i iHH
City Solicitor Ryan Fights Deal HV ' Tmm
Between Telephone Co. and HHHB ? k " t "'liiHH
Philadelphia Electric HHH I k VkIXVbJiliiiHHK
The city of Philadelphia will oppose
the proposed lease of tho cable ducts ot
the Keystone Telephone Company to tho
Philadelphia Electric Company, according
to City Solicitor Ryan, who today noti
fied Director Cooke, of the Department of
Public Works, that he would be present
at next Tuesday's hearing before the
Public Service Commission nt Harris
bur g. Mr. Ilyan said ho would oppose
the application for a ratllicatton of tho
pending lease.
The leaso will be opposed on the
ground that the city authorities should be
consulted, and that such a lease would be
against public policy as well as a sure
method of stifling competition.
Mayor Blankenburg last November,
when news of the plan became public,
notified tho officers of both companies
"Philadelphia might consider Itself an
interested party." Ho followed this up
by attempting to obtain an option from
the Keystone Telephone Company for
the use pf its conduits In the event of the
city erecting its own electric light plant.
The actual teasing of the surplus Bpace
in tho underground conduits of the Key
stono Company to the Philadelphia Elec
tric took place the first of the year and
payments on account of the lease are
said to have been due April 1.
The fact "that the Public Service 'Com
mission haB not acted upon the applica
tion has prevented the consummation of
the deal, which carries an annual rental
of 4 cents per duct foot used, with a
provision for a graduated minimum
rental, which will reach $100,000 per annum
within seven years and will average 187,
600 for the 21 years the lease Is to run.
The contention of city officials is that
such an agreement will block the en
trance of a rival electric company In the
field.
The lease gives the electric company the
right to purchase at the end of the pres
ent contract all conduit space it uses, or
to extend the term of the lease for IB
years at an annual payment of $123,000.
The Keystone Company has 12,264,807 duct
feet In Its conduits that cover about 335
miles of streets.
AMATEUR GASMAN SINGED
Courted Disaster With Lighted Can
dle, but Escaped With Slight Burns
Lawrence Moor, of 2839 Cumberland
street, declared today ho would never go
Into a cellar again with a lighted candle
In his hand to hunt for a leak In a gas
pipe.
Mooz, who lives above the meat store
of Fred Hanaman. heeded the plea of
neighbors that gas Issuing from the cellar
of Hanaman's shop was annoying and
should be stopped. He went down cellar
with the lighted candle In his hand, and
the gas In the cellar promptly Ignited.
Only his eyebrows and hair wereslnged,
but how he escaped with his life he
neighbors aro not able to understand.
Persons attracted by the flames issuing
from the cellar called Engine Company

quenched the fire with slight damage.
MURDER MYSTERY FIZZLES
No Medal for Policeman Who Found
"Dead" Man Sleeping
No medal will be given Motorcycle
Policeman Frith, of the Germantown
police station, for solving Oermantown's
latest "murder mystery" scare.
Frith was sent to Meehan avenue and
Chew street by Sergeant Wahler. who
said that several excited "women had tele
phoned declaring that the body of a
murdered man, his head protruding from
some bushes, was there.
The body was there, all right, but when
Frith approached It he was surprised to
hear It talking In a dream. It proved
to be Thomas Pulllnger, of Phll-Ellena
and Musgrave streets, a watercress ped
dler, who had selected the bushes to
take a nap In. Frith reprimanded him
for scaring the women of the neighbor
hood and let him go.

BOY'S TYPHOID CAUSE
OF WYMOTE EPIDEMIC
Child Visiting Dairy Spreads
Infection 17 Persons
Aro 111
The cause of the outbreak of typhoid
fever In tho Old York road suburban sec
tion between Melrose and Willow Drove
was discovered today In the person ot
a 14-year-old boy, according to tho State
and municipal health authorities. The
boy, Salvadore Lnnoce, 1219 South 13th
street. Is now In the Methodist Hospital.
He stayed on the Francis Farm of the
Overlook Dairy, near Willow Grove, from
August 17 to 30, as a guest of tho Harri
son Day Nursery, which furnishes coun
try vacations for poor children. At that
time, physicians declared, he had a
"walking case" of typhoid and was ad
mitted to the hospital September 8.
The boy, said Dr. A. A. Cairns, chief
medical Inspector of the Bureau of
Health, Is responsible for the outbreak,
os all of the cases were traced to the
Overlook Dairy, thence to the woter used
to wash the milk bottles, and thence to
the boy. Six additional cases wero re
ported today, making 17 In all.. Seven
of the cases are In Wyncote. Nine pa
tients aro being treated at the Ablngton
Hospital.
The dairy's output Is between 700 nnd
1000 quarts of milk a day, said Dr.
Charles K. Stout, head of the Cheltenham
Township Board of Health. All of its
operations, however, are suspended as n.
result of tho finding of the contaminated
water on tho Francis Farm, which Is
one of the smallest of the 10 farms mak
ing up the dairy. The owner Is W. W.
Frazler, a Philadelphia banker, it Is said.
FIGHTS DRUG LAW
Physician First to Raise Opposition
to Harrison Statute
A demurrer filed In the United States
District Court today by Dr. Michael
Sussman, ot Pine street near 5th street,
attacked the constitutionality of the
HnrrUon anti-drug act.
This is the first action taken In thf
eastern section of the country to test the
legality of the statute. Doctor Sussman
was required by tho Collector of Internal
Bevcnue, Ephralm Ledorer, to make a
sworn statement regarding the quantity
of nnrcotlcs received by him between
March 1 and May 17,
Ho complied with the order of Mr.
I.cdercr, but, according to charges made
by the Government, stated a smaller
amount in his report than he had ac
tually received from various sources.
Francis B. Bracken, attorney for the
physician, maintained that In enforcing
tho Harrison law tho Government was
exercising police powers which were con
ferred only upon the Individual States by
the Federal Constitution.

fitting English lines, or
on the easier American
plan, and enlivened with
inspirational touches

They are a banquet of
style and a veritable
feast of variety, cut with
the easy confidence of a
master hand, tailored
with the affection which
is art, finished with
pride, advertised o
their merits, and soki ay
the same route. Ilf'iip,
