Young Rockefeller intimated he had

It was reported today that City Solicitor

of this city for the purpose of having a
suit Instituted against the theatre In the
name of the clt to prevent further pro
ductions of the performance.
A tall negro clergyman led a throng
of 1CO0 of his race tip Broad street last

Soldiers" as they msrehed. Then, as they
reached the front of the Forrest Theatre.
where "The Rlrth of a Nation" Is being

singing stopped. A brick was thrown. I
'Get thnt man," shouted Lieutenant
Duffy, of tho Reserves, "Oct them Get
them," repented Lieutenant Myers, of tho
ISth and Locust streets station, again
and again The police, lth drawn clubs,
charged tho throng. It broke and ran.
8ome took shelter In the lobbies of near
by hotels: some ran Into the clubs that
lino Broad street, carrying with them
white women, caught In the swirl: others
ran down little streets.
The police whacked every head within
whacking distance. Some where trampled
on. The dark cross streets seemed to
offer the best haven of comparative

FRENCH FORCE MARNE
CANAL; THREATEN FOE
Continued from l'age One
night the branch line railway at Amagne
Lucnuy, to the east of Rethel."
A second odlclal statement this afternoon
explained the reasons for the cannonade
that for duration and number of shells
poured In upon the enemy's trenches sur
passed any previous artillery storm of
the war.
"These heavy artillery actions along
the entire front resulted In the destruction
of divers enemy works," said the official
statement. "These cannonades, often un
accompanied by infantry attacks, were
Intended to destroy worrisome enemy po
sitions and mltralleuses, demolish enemy
shelter places. Impede tho concentration
of enemy troops and render It Impossible
for the enemy to hold certain works.
"Day and night storms of French
shells descended upon the enemy's com
munication trenches, encampments,
bridges and supply columns. The effi
cacy of the French fire throughout the
bombardment was proved by the reports
of our aerial observers, who constantly
flew along the front noting the results
of the cannonades. German prisoners
also admitted that the damage done their
positions waa moat serious.
"The amount of ammunition expended
proves the resources of France In shells.
The Incessant acthlty gave assurance
that a war of attrition could continue
with small losses for our forces."
LIVELY CONTEST ON IN BOSTON

enrolment" law will have Its first test.
It gives the voter the right to cast his
ballot for any of the candidates provid
ing that he sticks all the way to one of
the three parties.
Boston, aa well aa other cities through
out the State, was awhlrl with eleventh
hour automobile tours by aspirants for
the November contest. Between lecturing
on "how to use the primary ballot" and
"what they Intend to do for the people"
the candidates have had a busy time.
From every section of the State lively
contests are predicted, and In Boston a
close fight Is looked for all the way down
the ticket, Complete results are not
expected, according to the leaders, until
tomorrow. Besides the late closing of
the polls in the majority of the smaller
cities the new-style ballot Is expected
to cause considerable delay.

feBted by Tramps
Fire started by negro thieves In the
home of the late Miss Rebecca Coxe, a
social leader In this city about 10 years
ago, at 1512 Spruce street, today brought
to night the fact that the old mansion
has been used as a headquarters for
tramps. The house has been closed since
the death of Miss Coxe, six years ago.
The fire threatened the home of Dr A
Cheston Morris, at UK Bpruce street, and
blocked the Spruce street cars for more

The map indicates what will probably be the direction of the German
drive through Servla to Turkey, which Is reported to have been
begun by the bombardment of Servian positions on the Save and
Danube Rivers. The Germans very likely will follow the main line
of the railroad which runs from Budapest through Belgrade, thence
across Bulgaria to Constantinople. The map also shows how com
pletely Bulgaria is surrounded by potential enemies, who will assail
her from almost every side if there is a repetition of the second
Balkan war. The shaded portion In southern Servla is the section of
Macedonia which Bulgaria asserts was unjustly taken from her by
Servia and the residents of which Czar Ferdinand has called to
the colors.
CHESTER PROSECUTOR
ASSAILED BY VOTERS
"Jury Wheel Crime of 1912"
Recalled in Attack on John
B. Hannum, Jr.
A violent nttack ngainst District Attor
ney John B. Hannum, Jr., of Chester. In
the form of a pamphlet report on the
"Jurv Wheel Crime of 1912." was distrib
uted to the voters of Delaware County
today by the People's Rights Association
of that county. The District Attorney Is
a candidate for re-election. The report,
which is nccompanled by a letter from
William T Ellis, of Bwarthmorc, presi
dent of the association, states that the
Investigation Into the ulleged Jury whoel
stuffing hss been an Issue in the county
for some time.
The report speaks of the discovery of
the alleged Irregularities, the alleged mo
tive, the nlleged Illegal Jurymen selected
for the December session of 1912 and the
action of the court and the bar associa
tion In calling attention to the alleged
"packing" of the wheel.
L'nder the caption "The Problem Be
fore the District Attorney" the report
states:
"The conviction of these criminals that
Is, those responsible for the alleged 'pack
ing' of the wheel was part of the regu
lar line of duties of the District Attor
ney, John B. Hannum, Jr., under his
oath of office. Judging from the facts
given above, the problem before the Dis
trict Attorney was a relatively simple
one, compared with tho difficulties of fer
reting out criminals In general.
"Not only did the District Attorney
have before him an easy problem In de
termining who the criminals were, but
he had ready to stand back of him tho
Bar Association with an able committee
eager to assist, and the People's Rights
Association, with Its Special Committee
ready and anxious to render all possible
assistance."
Further evidence of the alleged obstruc
tion of justice by the District Attorney
la given. The report closes with an at
tack against the "domlnent political party
of the county" and states that It Is pre
sented "for the Information of the cltl
tens of the county, to aid them In per
forming their civic duties." .

SWINDLER WELL FACE
SENTENCE TOMORROW
Frank C. Marrin, of Famous
Cotton Deal, May Get
Four-Year Term
Judge Thompson, of the United States
District Court, will hear a plea tomorrow
to have "Judge Franklin Stone," promoter
of the famous 20,000 Story cotton
swindle, recommitted to the Eastern Peni
tentiary for the four years Bentence Im
posed upon him In 1903.
When this sentenco was Imposed, the
"Judge," whose real name Is Frank C.
Marrin, was released under ball pending
an appeal. Subsequently, he was arrested
In New York for swindling a woman, and
for the latter crime he was sent to the
Auburn prison for a term of from 12 to
2i) years.
A week ago he was released from the
Auburn Jail on parole and was Immedi
ately arrested by Charles J. Kammer
mohr. United States Marshal. Extradi
tion psperH were granted and. In spite of
a legal tight on the part of the "Judge,"
he was brought to this city last night.
He was taken before Judge Thompson
today, but, since the latter had been the
District Attorney who prosecuted Marrin
nine years ago. Judge Dickinson was
asked to preside at the trial.
James Cortelyou, of this city. Chief
United States Postal Inspector, was
largely responsible for the conviction of
Marrin. When many other detectives
had failed, Mr. Cortelyou proved that he
had defrauded Mrs. Elizabeth Barry, of
Brooklyn, 80 years old, of 171,000.

TENDERLOIN FOR SMITH
By M'LISS.
According to the officer of the law, who
swings his club negligently os he helps
support a barber pole at tho corner of
Ilai-e nnd Clarion streets, where the
pasty-faced denliena or the Tenderloin
are lurnlmr out sleepily to demonstrate
their allegiance to "Lord Jim MoNlehol."
there's nothing to the maorauy election
but Tom B. Smlth-Hmlth as solid as an
Iceberg In the far Arctic regions.
According to the officer of the law who
pi on a tirrHd-box outside of the gro
cery store at 43d and Locust streets,
v.here West Philadelphia comes to the
poll staid and deliberate, with real reasons
bncked by real convictions for marking
up their ballots the way they do, tha
next Major of Philadelphia Is going to
be an Individual who spells his name
Porter.
Down In South Philadelphia, where the
electorate discusses Its political affilia
tions In strange, foreign tongues In which
"Vare" Is the only Intelligible word, the
guardian of the public peace and morals
thinks It's a sort of T6 to 25 proposition
with Smith on the happy end.
COPS AS BAROMETERS
All of which Is but one way of saying
that In this election the police are the
rolltlcal barometers who merely register
the conditions of the localities In which
they are.
"Smith's got a clean beat." said one of
the bluecoats detailed to duty In the Ten
derloin, "and the funny part of It Is that
he's got the police department too, nlmost
to a man. Judging from the talk I've heard,
and a man usually votes the way he tnlks,
you'll find.
"What makes It funnier Is that every
man In the department Is willing to grant
that Portcr'a done a lot for tho department-gave
us the three platoon, with the
eight-hour shift, one of the whitest things
a director ever did. If Porter's Mayor, it's
practically a dead cinch that our pay'U
bo raised from 93 a month to 100. But
somehow or other the boys believe that
Smith's the best bet. They got a hunch
and they're playing It."
"POLITICS AS CROOKED AS "
At this momnt a qulvery, trembly sort
of gentleman, with an election noe nnd
an uncertain gait, came out of aft alley
and made his way toward the poll.
"How drunk does a man have to be?"
I asked, In my Ignorance, the loquacious
"cop," "before he Is refused entrance to
the polling booth;"
The cop laughed a cynical laugh and
spat Into the butter, disgustedly, before
he answered.
"There ain't no limit. Just so he knows
what he's doing and remembers his In
structions. All I've got to do Is keep the
peace. It ain't my business to arrest any
of them unless they get rambunctious.
Politics Is as crooked as " The keeper
of the peace became qulto profane and
It was plain to see he had no Illusions
regarding what political scientists are
npt to call tho highest civic duty of tho
people.
Traveling southward, you don't find
Ideals on a much higher plane, and al
though the Mh Ward, whose other name
Is "De Bloody Fifth," presents a peace
ful picture compared to that of a decade
or so ago on election day, yet despite the
desolate and pessimistic air worn by most
of the places where tne reslaents are ac
customed to taking their liquid refresh,
ments, the habitues of the polling places
walk with none too steady a tread.
Out In West Philadelphia I had to ask

vidual gentleman, who had the air of
having fend his morning paper, expressed
considerable surprise when toHxmA
from my question that an election was In
progress. No, he didn't know where the
voting was taking place. The second
drove a grocery wagon, and said he ".VTili

said when he got time to vote he went W
to West Chester, because he had to pay
tax up there, and the fourth astonished
me by his clear and accurate Information.
"Walk down two squares and up two,
he said, "and you'll come to It."
nnoMLsr on the job
I did, and came to It. Also to B. Gor
don Bromley. Standing In the middle
of tho entrance to the poll, the Demo
cratic mnyoralty candidate wore a non
lommlltnl expression as he leaned his
head down and confidentially chatted
with an orstwhlle voter, and tho officer
who set within a distance of several feet,
took no pains to conceal his cordon!.!
grin ns lu Viewed the pair.
"Not a ghost of a chance for Bromley,
he sold emphatically, Porter's tho man
out here. He's got a good rep' and that's
what these peope like. Me? Oh c, I
guess I'll vfrte for the Director, he's been
a good sort, but Vt got my friends who
can't see It that way. It's Smith for
them or nobody. They think It's going
to be a gnng administration and they
want to be In at the start. That's politics
for ou. And say. Potter and Bromley
may be on the ticket, but what chanco do
they stand t's a Joke."
JUPITER PLUVIUS HERE
Retired Old Gentleman Reappears
and City Has Rain
Old Mr. Jupiter Pluvlus early today
made a brief and only slightly success
ful attempt to tome out of the shell In
which he has been In retirement almost
a month, nnd Phlladelphlans saw the
sight, now become unusual, of wet
pavements when they arose from their
beds today. Not since the Inst of Au
gust has there been a good rainfall, the
entlro precipitation tor the month being
less than a quarter of an Inch. The rain
fall today was .1? of an Inch, ,15 falling
since S o'clock. No more rnin Is expected
today. There were many heavy rain
falls In sections surrounding Philadel
phia, but anything even faintly re
sembling what might be called a heavy
slower carefully avoided this city.
Although there Is nothing on which to
base a contradiction of the Weather
Bureau's statement, that the hot spell
of last week and the week before has
passed, the weather Is rather uncom
fortable and sticky today. The ther
mometer was nt 72 this morning and the
humidity 91 nt 8 o'clock. A breeze mov
ing at the rate of 15 miles an hour came
from the south. The temperature fluctu
ated between 72 and 74 until noon, when
it began to climb very slowly and steadily.
