' "It Is highly Improper," says the Mayor
Jn hit message, "that any such privilege
"or a ttngle place of business should bo
,'tfantert by a special ordinance such as
the present one, and I am confident your
'Honorable bodies will agree with me that
It should not be npproved."
The measure designed to open a
thoroughfare refers to Nth and iith
streets, from Moore street to snyaer ave
nue. According to tho Chief of the Uu
reau of Survevs, quoted by the Mayor" in
his message, this would be "entirely In
the Interest of tho development of prlvnte
property" It Is suggested that If the
property owners want the streets opened
they should dedicate them to the city.
The thoroughfare sought to be closed Is
Old Id Street road, from 5th street north
eastwardly It Is pointed out by tho
Mayor that this ordinance Is defective
in that It does not specify exactly tho
limitations of tho section It would aban-
dnn. Kuril nlinnrinnment. also. Would
! benefit private owners. The Mayor wants
compensation from tho owners ocrote
eloslng the street.
One of the two proposed flrehousc sites
Is at Orthodox street nnd Torresuaie ave

apparatus would have to ascend n hill In
either direction to get out Cheaper and
better BltcB nre available, tho Mayor savs.
The other fire house site Is at pxford
street near Frankford avenue. It Is lo
cated at such an nngle that, according
Lto the Director of Public Safety, ap
paratus couia naruiy get out to frame
ford avenue.
Another ordinance would have the city
purchase n plot of land assessed at about
$37,000, and that may not be worth more
than fS.OOO, for "5.000 for park purposM.
The plot la bounded by Bucklus, Ash,
Richmond and 11a th streets. Mayor
niHlikenburg ndmlts that It Is a good
elte for a park, huj contends that the
price; asked la excessive.
"I had hoped," the Mayor adds, "that
the member of Councils who Introduced
this ordinance would agree with me and
insecure the withdrawal of the ordl

TO PASS TRANSIT BILL
Ordinance Authorizing $1,250,-
000 Indebtedness to Provldo
Funds Is Urged
Passage of an ordinance providing or
an additional Increase In the city's In
debtedness In the sum of JI,J!0,000, to be
used "toward tho construction of the
I'Vankford elevated lino and other transit
rrojeets, was advocated by Mayor
fllankenburg In a message to Councils
today,
Tho - necessity of prompt action was
pointed out by the Mayor, so that tho
.proposed Increased Indebtedness could be
submitted to tho people at the coming
November election. . .
v"lth his message, the Mayor sent a
communication from Director Tailor, of
the. Oepidtraent of City Transit.
By quick action In tbe matter, the Di
rector said, unwarranted and wasteful de
lay In construction could be avoided, He
added;
"I do not think wo would be Justified
from a business standpoint, In awaiting n
special election to be held subsequent tJ
the adoption of tho proposed Amendment
to the Constitution nt tho forthcoming
election In order to gain the advantages
which would be derived thereby, for the
amount Involved Is small by comparison
with the advantages which will be gained
for the citizens by prompt action, nnd
by comparison with the amount which
will be icqulrod for the construction ot
the Broad street subwny, which should
necessarily be financed upon tho advan
tageous terns provided bv the proposed
Constitutional Amendment."
MAYOR IraiMOVES
FOR PARK USURPTIONS
Executive Vetoes Measures De
signed to Transfer Undue
Powers to Park Commis
sioners Maor Blankenburg today checked two
more moves of City Councils lh what he
strongly Intlmntes Is a general plan to
turn over to the Commissioners of Fair
mount Pnik all tho work of tho Bureau
of Cltv Property devoted to tho care of
park.i and squares.
The specific bills vetoed by the Mayor
were to turn over to the commissioners
the enre and management of Tac ny
Creek Park, nnd to transfer flS.onrj of loan
money from tho Bureau of City Property
to the commissioners. This money has
been appropriated for the Improvement of
Independence and Washington Squares.
The MajoF quotes Director Cooke of tho
Department of Public "Works at length
In his comment on tho Tacony ordinance
Dhector Cooke snys ho is opposed to tho
Absorption of paiks by tho commissioners,
"I entirely agree with the Director's
view on this subject," w-es tho Mayor.
"Far too many functions of city govern
ment have already been put In the lmnds
of administrative boards. This policy
should be reversed, the responsibility for
municipal administration should be cen
tralized in a few. officials, upon whom
the responsibility then could bo definitely
located.
"The whole tendency In drafting recent
city f chatters has been towards sucli
centmllrhtlon nnd nway from the; old
policy of diffusing authority among manM
co-ordinate oftlcfdl boards and commls-(
slons.
"The unwise and probably Illegal action
of lost spring, attempting to transfer five
of the central city squares to the control
of tho Park Commission, If followtd up
In the present ordinance, might soon lend
to the transfer to the commission of rill
the squares and open places belonging to
the city,"
.TUNKETEERS SMILE AGAIN
Request for $32,000 of City's Money
to Pay for Liberty Bell Trip
Makes Them Happy
The scenery In the South and West at
this time of year Is said to be beautiful.
Select Councilman Chnrles Rcger today
Introduced nn ordinance In the Upper
Chamber of Councils, providing for an
appropriation of $32,000 to bring the
Liberty Boll home.
His action brought a smile on the faces
of the veteran Junketeera and they gave
close attention to every detail of the
bill as It was reail with much dignity
and patriotic expression.
The Councllmen are optimistic con
cerning the results. As the Mayor np
proved the outbound trip of the bell,
with Its merry crowd of patriots, It Is
generally believed that he will favor
bringing the relic back with tho same
eclqt.

Governor Refuses to Make Ex
planation of Organization's
"Harmony" Agreement
Governor Brumbaugh arrived In this
city on his way home from the exposi
tion at Han Francisco at 3:45 o'clock this
afternoon. Tho, Governor came to Phila
delphia for the speclflo purpose of regis
tering In order to vole nt the primary
election next Tuesday, and he was con
siderably surprised and disappointed
when told that he would bo barred from
participation In the election by reason of
his being nbeent from the city on tho
three regular registration days.
He refused absolutely to discuss the
"deal" by which Thomas B. Smith was
made the Republican Organization
"harmony" candidate for Mayor. The
following question was put to the Gov
ernor directly
"Governor Brumbaugh, many Inde
pendent Republicans aro looking to you
for nn explanation of tho political moves
made prior to the selection of Thomas
B. Smith ns the Republican Organization
enndidate for Mayor of Philadelphia. Will
you orfer them nny explanation?"
"I hnve nothing to say upon that
matter now," the Governor replied. "If
1 discuss the matter it will be In tho
form of a public statement."
When asked If this statement meant
that he wnlld make an explanation, the
Governor tc'pllcd!

POLICE ON HOT TRAIL
IN CORD MURDER CASE
Continued from Page One
he betrayed no animus toward County
Detective Levins. Who put him through
the examination.
The city detectives have been at work
on tho case since four days after Cord's
body was found In a gully oft tho River
road, near the Flshhouso. N. J., station.
Today they made a report to Prosecutor
Kiaft.
William Hoover, conductor, and Wols
ton Tl.orn, motorman of a Cramer Hill
trolley cur, nrrompanicd the sleuths to
the courthouse. They looked nt n pro
tograph of Cord and identified It nn Mint
of a intiti who boaidcd their car nt t.Z3
o'clock Mcuday afternoon, August 30, and
rode tu Iho end of the line.
DESCRIPTION OBTAIN!'.!).
Hoover says ho talkod with Cord most
ot tho trip about Jitneys At the end
of the lino n big automobile was seen
drawn up across tho road. Cord got on"
the trolley nnd Into the motorcar. It
tumed nnd epod up the Hh or road. Tho
man who drove this" car, according to
Hoover and Thorn, woro a light suit, u
Panama h.U, kid gloves. He was about
S feet U Inches tall, apparently 2$ ears
old and light complexloned.
At 8:S0 o'clock the same night William
Lewis, of S517 River road, helped a man
following this description to mend n tiro
on a car similar to that described by the
motoiman and conductor, John Anchor,
of 31th street and River load, another
witness, sas the driver of tho mysterious
machine halted him In River road nnd
aslted for help on the tire, but ho re
ferred the man to Lewis. A half dozen
boys, who were playing around Lewis'
yard while the tire was being repaired,
also talked to the detectives. Their de
scription tallies with that given ljy the
motorman and conductor. Anchor and
Lewis.
WOMAN IN MACHINE.
All' agree that nt thla time there wos
i woman In the machine. At the time the
trolley crew saw It. however, there was
no ono In the machine but the driver.
Ncna of the witnesses got the license
number of the machine, but with their
description of the driver nnd of his car
tho detectives feel certain that they are
at last on the right track.
The "third degree" to which Peteisnn
was subjected was the worst ordeal he
has had to face, according to his own
story, verified by the detectives. He was
aroused at midnight In his cell and led
Into the hospital room of the courthouse'.
Two lights were burning dimly. As
Peterson entered the room he came face
to face with Levins,
"It runs into my mind." said the de
tective, "that you and another man con
spired to murder Bam Cord. I have the
name of a woman living in Philadelphia
who has said ou and Cord lslted her
home often nnd discussed Cord's business
matters. Do you know this woman and
wero you In her home7"
"Tho only time I ever accompanied
Cord on a trip In Philadelphia," said
Peterson, "was when we went to the
Commercial Trust Building to the offices
of the Woodland Lumber Company."
Peterson then raised his right hand, ac
cording to the detectives, and said:
SWEARS HB'S INNOCENT.
"Between God. you and me, I want to
drop dead If I know anything about
Cord's death. I can't break down, as
yoii might suppose, becniisc mv con
Bdence Is clear. It makes no difference,
Mr, Levins, you can question me as
much as you please. I have been frank
with you and everybody in the office of
the prosecutor,
"If I had a hand In Cord's death, then
you shot him."
"You're not telling the truth," said
Levins.
"I am," said Peterson,
The "material witness" then was per
mitted to go back to his cell. He lay
down on his cot, but he says he did
not sleep all night. His appearance this
morning Indicated as much
The new evidence obtained by the city
detectives, where the county men had
failed, served to draw attention from
Peterson, however, and ho was not put
through any more questioning this morn
ing. Every available man waa sent out
to question other persons along River
road.
Friends of the murdered man are now
asking what the forces directly under
the supervision of Prosecutor William J.
Kraft have been doing while they have
been at work pn the cae. They had not
obtained a single clue to the fact that
Cord evidently went to a spot near
where his body laler was found the day
of hts murder. All their theories were to
the effect that Cord was shot somewhere
else and that his boJy was taken to the
River road In the automobile.
Another now witness obtained by the
detectives, a woman, says she heard a
shot Shortly after 6 o'clock the Monday
afternoon Cord was last teen alive. The
detectives deoline to give out her name.
They have not yet fully Investigated her
story, but say that the also saw the
mysterious automobile.
Tho woman lives somewhere near the
point where the body was discovered, it

Its Eastern trip Is likely to prove easier
than Boston's series with the Western
teams, Detroit tackles the Athletics and
Senators nfter the present set-to with the
Red Sox, while Boston meets Cleveland
and St. Louis.
Cleveland has been plnying fine ball nnd
Is likely to get at least one game In Bos
ton, while the Browns are playing better
ball than any team In the league at the
present time.
The Red Sox's series with the High
landers in 10 das is another hardship for
Carrtgan's team. The Yankees have
beaten the Red Sox in the season's series
so far, and with Caldwell, Fisher, Shaw
key, Brown and Mogridge pitching fine
ball, Donovan's team may upset tho
pennant dope.
After leaving the East the Tigers should
havo smooth sailing, and It Is apparently
necessary for the Red Sox to Increase
their lead before the Tigers leave the
East, If they hope to win the pennant
before tho last week of the season, as
Carrigan had planned in order to rest

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Sept. U.
Woolfolk Henderson, of Lexington, Ky.;
13. D. ltollycr, Jr., of Alexandria, Pa.,
and Henry Powers, of this city, are tie
with 3S "breaks" ench today In tho Westy
Itogan amateur championship race at 100
slnslo taigets. They will shoot oft miss
and out, either lato this afternoon nr
tomorrow. No less thnn 10 marksmen
are next In lino with 87 "kills" out ot
tho possible century blue rocks.
Atlantic City was nnnounccd today as
the permanent tournament and meeting
place of tho Westy Hogans. Several per
sistent Invitations from Asbury Tark
found little encouragement, and, In fact,
brought the vote settling definitely ort
this resort. The next program, however,
will likely be held on one of the ocean
piers or along the beach front, ns tho
shooters do not seem to particularly
favor Venice Park.
Four new members were admitted In
the popular organization today. They
were W. G. Hill. Portland, Me.; W. P.
White, Pittsburgh; W. S. Jones, Pitts

COUNCILS URGED
TO HURRY CITY'S
Action Asked for by Chafo.
ber of Commerce and Busi
ness Men's Committee
McNICHOli IN SYMPATHY f
Itesolutlons urRlng Counolla to takt
action toward the Immediate construction
of a convention hall In a central location,
to provide nn additional attraction In la.
fluenclng the llepubllcan National Con.
ventlon to hold ita sessions here next
year, were received and referred to tha
Finance Committee by Councils today.
One ot the petitions wat from the
Chamber of Commerce, the member 0f
which represent moro than 4000 com.
inercln! and Industrial establishment In
the city. Another came from members, of
the Allied lluslneta Men's Committee.
Beveral sltei have been mentioned In
connection with the plan, those most
frequently named belnit Hth nnd Chest
nut streets nnd several on the lint of
tho Parkway.
Early construction of the Convention
Hall would also furnish an Impressive
advertisement of the clty't progressive
nets to the 5000 advertising men from all
over the country who wilt assemble hefe
next summer.
Of the loan money voted for the hIL
$82,000 has already been appropriated,
leaving a balance of 11,118,000 on hand
for tho work.
If James P. McNlcliol, who ttts at the
rlKht hand of Penrose, Is a good prophet,
Philadelphia will have Its site for ttt
great convention hall before the explra.
Hon ot tho present administration, u
Mr. McNlchot made thla prediction when
asked to comment on the labors 'confront
ing Councils. Ilia friendship for John V.
Connelly, chairman of tho Finance Com
mittee, which must, report the question
out for consideration before anything ef
fective Is accomplished. Invested Mr. Mc
Nlchol's opinion with unusual Interest.
Moreover, his Identification With the
forces In the Republican Organization
blamed for the more than 60 months of
delay since the city borrowed the money
to construct tho building. Rives lilm au
thority for making a forecast deserving
of careful attention.
"t see absolutely no reason," said Mr.
McNIchol, "why all the preliminaries to
the actual erection of the structure
should not be disposed or before January
1, 191$. Certainly no right thinking resi
dent of Philadelphia would delay the
ucrk any longer than absolutely neces
sary." Mr. McNIchol lias a preference on site,
but not definite enough to make hit
choice public, formally, It was his Im
pression thnt tho ultimate cost of the
edifice would reach J2.B00.C0O or $3,000,000,
but lie thinks work can be started ulth.
the money already on hand.
This money, Jl,500,000 In round figure,
was part of an omnibus loan ot t3.75D.M0
negotiated on July 1. 1911, and ltt salt
service since has been to accumulate In
terest charges af 4 per cent., or l0,000 a
year. Philadelphia obtained nothing pf
value for this expenditure, and continues
to rank below Buffalo as a city capable
of caring for large assemblages.
Practically the only person who coujd
not bo persuaded to cbmment qn the work
before the Councils was Mr, Connelly.
In plto of his reluctance, tho present
-program In Councils, according to a high
authority in tne urgantzation, is to re
port thJ convention halt project out of
committee on the first Thursday Jn Oc
tober, A discussion will. fpl)ow, first as
tj site and then as to additional appro
priations.. ,
When this llepubllcan leader was ask$d,
If the fact that other sites than that on
tho rn'rkway would be suggested, notably
on by William J. Crawford, Chairman
of the Council Committee on Publlo
DUIldlngs, would complicate matters, he
said no.
"The site will be selected from among
those already under consideration," he
said. "No delay will therefore result
from new proposals'
George D. Porter, Independent candN
dntc for nomination for Mayor oh virtu
ally evory ticket, earnestly expressed
the conviction that few things better for
Philadelphia could happen, And, If It
did not happen now, If certainly would
happen, he said, If he were elected Mayor,
and had a friendly Councils to co-operate
wjth him.
Mr. Porter has very definite Ideas on
what sort ot a structure the proposed
Convention Hall shpuld be.
"It should bo available for convention
purposes," ho said, "and for other publlo
needs. It should be conveniently located
Co par lines, railroads, hotels, depart
ment stores and theatres. It must be
remembered that delegates to conven
tions frequently bring their wives and
daughters nlong with them, and they
should bo In easy access to placet pt
amusement and to the shopping districts.
"When not used for convention pur
poses, tho hail should be available for
iso aa a great forum for the people. At
other time U should be usable for con
corts, for dnncea for people of medium
means, and for the other manifold needs
of a great city, The people should get
the greatest possible use out ot It, and In
tlma It might be possible to lnstal a great
organ, as hat been done in Portland.

The foregoing dispatch from Stock
