REDFIELD'S AID SAYS
PILINGS SANK EASTLAND
Sensational Statement Made by As
sistant Secretary of Commerce
ST. PAUL. Minn.. Sept. 22. That the
steamboat Eastland disaster In Chicago
last July was caused by submerged
piling that had been left In tho Chicago
River by the building of a tunnel several
years ago, and that the vessel did not
turn over because It was unstable or un
safe, was tho declaration hero of Edward
Sweet, Assistant Secretary of Commerce.
He asserted that this new evidence bear
ing on the tragedy that cost nearly 1000
lives was discovered by the steamship lino
operating the Eastland, and that it had
been communicated to Secretary Redfleld
and President Wilson. He sold, too, that
the evidence would figure In the report of
the Federal Grand Jury In Chicago and
that It would nullify any prosecution of
individuals for alleged responsibility for
the tragedy.
T00RDEVII NEW NAME
GIVEN 'JUDGE STONE'
Attorney Uses It in Referring
to Marrin, of "Storey Cot
ton Swindle" Fame
Frank C. Marrin, of "Storey cotton
swindle" fame, was referred to aa a
K- "poor devil" by his counsel, V. Gilpin
Robinson, whon tne latter appeared Be
fore Judge Dickinson, In the United
States District Court, today and sought
to obtain Marrin's release on a writ of
habeas corpus.
Marrin, who was arrested after he
stepped from a prison in New York after
having been paroled, was brought to this
city to serve sentences aggregating four
years, attorney Robinson told the court
that Marrin is legally in the custody of
the State of New York and that, accord
ing to the parole law of New York, he
should not have left the State, and. In
being forced to do so, ho was violating
that parole.
Mr. Robinson declared that the United
States Marshal would have Just as much
right to walk Into a prison and take out
a prisoner who was serving a sentence
and take him to another State as he had
to take Marrin from New York.
United States District Attorney Kano
and Assistant United States District At
torney Hall took the position that, since
the prisoner Is now within the'Jurlsdlctlon
of this Slate, he was being legally de
tained. Judge Dickinson Bald" he would
continue the hearing In order that the
attorneys might submit some additional
facts concerning the paroling of the pris
oner in New York.
The 15-year sentence Marrin was serving
in New York was for an offense which
he committed long before he was sen
tenced. Marrin believes ho ha Buffered enough
He thinks, in fact, that he has served
more than his share of time In. Jail for
what he did. He is determined now, no
says, to "go straight." He says he never
will touch any deal that is not absolutely
legal and abovoboard. Two of his sons
are now grown up and In business In
New York. Marrin says he has made ar
rangements to start In a manufacturing
business In the same State should he
be released.
Although he is CO years old, Marrin Is
confident that he can "coma back," He
says he wants only the chance to make
good. Federal officials, however, are
determined that he shall so to Jail and
Serve out, his term in this city. Marrin
oes not look like a man who has spent
the last eight years in Jail. His face Is
still full, and ia deeply tanned. He was
out In the open much of the time at
Auburn prison. Cell life took away none
of the man a suavity. When ho entered
th courtroom this morning no one
would have known ho was a prisoner.
He seemed rather like a prosperous
lawyer as he took a scat in the witness
row.

BttPROVEMENT FOR
PHILADELPHIA MAIL
SERVICE ASSURED
Assistant Postmaster General
Blakslee Admits Some Aro
Needed, but Says Reports
Exaggerated Conditions
INVESTIGATIONS TO GO ON
While there Is room for Improvement,
Philadelphia mall service Is not so bad,
as recent report would have one to be
lieve according to n statement made
this morning by James I. Blakslee,
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General,
who camo from Washington yesterday
for the purpose of making Investigations
with reference to the local postal sys
tem. This room for Improvement, to use Mr.
Dlakslee's own words. "Is soon to be oc
cupied." Ite explained that several slight
changes IU bo made in the system for
tho purpose of expedience, but just what
the change would be he rotused to dis
cuss for publication at the present time.
IMPROVEMENTS PROMISED.
"These changes in tho manner of hand
ling the mall," he said, "wilt result in
the Improvement of which I have
spoken. They will be made Just as soon
as appropriations are adjusted In Wash
ington." With reference to the pneumatic tube
method of transporting moll Mr. Dlaks
leo would say very little. It Is rumored,
however, that he is not In favor of this
method for tho handling ot mall In large
quantities. He referred to the motor
service and spoke of Its great possibili
ties. It I- believed that one of tho mnln
improvement In tho Philadelphia postal
service contemplated by Mr. Blakslee will
be tho Introduction of such a service.
NOT REMOVING EMPLOYES.
Mr. Blakslee emphatically denied that
-an effort Is being made In Washington to
economize In the postal service by cutting
down appropriation or removing cmploes
In the various districts.
It has recently been discovered that tho
trouble In the delivery of the Duke-Bid-die
wedding Invitations was not due to
the postal authorities. According to Mr.
Blakslee, tho supposed delay In the In-
Rations was due to the fact that they
had been overlooked by the person In
charge of their mailing.
The Assistant Postmaster General v. Ill
leave for Washington today, but will re
turn to contlnuo hi Investigations In
about 19 days.
Pneumatic mall tubes and automobile
trucks are expected to compete today be
tween Broad Street Station and tho cen
tral postofllce to Bee which is tho moro
rapid In transferring a certain quantity
of mall.
Experts who testified before the special
PostofTlce Commission yesterday said
that It takes but one and a half min
utes to move mall by tubo from Broad
Street Station to the central postofllce,
and 13 minutes by motortrucks. An
equal quantity of mall will bo allotted
to each service In the test today. It Is
claimed by those opposing tho tubes that
it takes longer to divide the mall Into
small packages for the tubes than It
does to load a motortruck and send it
to the central ofTlce.
Aged Woman Seriously Burned
Mrs. Eliza Strunk was seriously burned
at her home, 611 East Cabot street, today.
She Is 75 years old. Her dress caught fire
from a kerosene stove at which she was
cooking. A neighbor threw a rug about
her and extinguished the flames. Sho waa
taken to St. Mary's Hospital, where It
was said her condition wns critical.
" VER the tljnature of a "Board of Temperance," with offices, at
Pittsburgh there are being printed in Pennsylvania newspapers
large advertisements that contain glaring FALLACIES upon the
subject of "Prohibition vs. Pauperism."
TN its advertising this "temperance" board FALLACIOUSLY as---
serts that In licensed States the paupers in almshouses average
110 per 100,000 of population, while in Prohibition States the average
is but S9.t per 100,000. Also, that there are only 423 paupers In Pro
hibition Kansas, or 20.9 to each 100,000 of population.
A FEW FACTS will suffice to refute these "temperance" allega
- tions. i On page 66 of the Statistical Abstract of the United
States for 1913, the number of paupers in almshouses of eight sample
States on January 1, 1910, is recorded as follows:
PAUPEP.S IN 100,000 POPULATION
In "Dry" Maine 127.3
In "Dry" Tennessee 71.8
In "Dry" North Carolina... 63.0
In "Dry" Kansas 43.5

THE New York Association for the Improvement of The Condi-
tion of the Poor, in its reoort for 1811. stated: "The two most
striking points were the large
by sickness, and the insignificant part played by Intemperance as a
contributing cause (of poverty). Of the 1573 cases in the Associa
tion's care, sickness was the cause of poverty in 681, pr 43 pe. ce.it."
Poverty caused by intemperance was a trifle more than 2 per cent

it is a FACT, proven by carefully kept records, that, out" of every
100 cases of poverty, only 2 are caused by intemperance
BABY DEAD IN ROOM;
MOTHER IS MISSING
Body Found by Woman Who
Sought to Collect Rent
From Lodger
Mr. Samuel Magtl keep a small dry
goods shop at 3710 Market street, and In
the upper stories rents out rooms. After
sho had clorcd the shop last night she
thought It nould be a good idea to go to
tho room of Miss Stella Bailey and try to
get her to pay some rent. The young
woman, she said, had been there since
August 1 nnd had never paid any rent.
There was no answer to Mrs. Magll's
knock at tho door, so she went In. Sho
searched the room and presently found a
dead baby. It had been born in the rented
room nnd tho mother was not to be found.
Mrs. Magll notified the police and tho
body ubn taken to the Medlco-Chlrurglcal
Hospital nnd pronounced dead and then
taken to tho Morgue.
Mrs. Magll went to bed. About 11.30
o'clock sho heard a noise that suggested
some one running down the hall. She
rushed from her room and was Just too
late to overtake a woman who looked
like Miss Bailey escaping out the back
door. Today the police wero told About
It nnd watched for the woman to return.
She had not been seen at the house since
early yesterday morning.
The police sent word to all hospitals
In the city to look out for the woman
and made every effort to And her. She
had been a waitress at tho Pennsylvania
Working Home for the Blind, at 36th
ntreet and Lancaster avenue until July
31, when, Mrs. Magll understood, she had
lost her place. Sho took her room at her
houso tho next day. It was not known at
the home for the blind or at Mrs. Magll's
where she had lived, She Is 31 or 32
years old.
GIRL SUICIDE'S ACT
MYSTERY TO POLICE
Pretty and Young, She Seemed
Happy as Protegee of Ger-
mantown Family
The police are mystified concerning the
motive which actuated Estelle Linn, a
pretty girl, M years old. ot 6014 Pulaski
avenue, to end her life. She died today
at the Jenlsh Hospital, nnd admitted
having taken a poison tablet a few days
ago.
The girl, who was apparently happy, hag
lived with Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Fur
long at the Germantown address for the
last live years. They took her from the
custody of tho Society to Protect Chil
dren From Cruelty, and she was re
garded as a member of the family.
When she told Mrs. Furlong Bhe had
taken the tablet the latter summoned Dr.
George F Sowers, of 160 Manhelm street,
and he sent the girl to the hospital Im
mediately. There she refused to take
an antidote for the poison, and declared
that Bhe wanted to die.
Mrs. Furlong declined to advance any
reason for the girl's act.
Attorney Berates Magistrate
An assault believed to have bcenecom
mltted on James Burk, 216 West Oxford
street, by Paul Engelhart, 1622 North
Philip street, and George Merkow Itch,
1514 North 2d street, caused Magistrate
Scott to hold the latter In U000 ball for
court at a further hearing today. The
hearing waa enlivened by a dispute be
tween lawyer and Magistrate. The for
mer remonstrated that the ball was too
high.

T N his book on "American Charities" Dr. Amos D. Warner says:
-- "Of 51,460 paupers admitted to the almshouses in the United
States in 1904, 67 per cent, were 'incapacitated.' In such institutions
'drink' as a direct cause of poverty Is of slight importance." (P. 57).
Dr. Warner criticises those wht hold intemperance to be the prin
cipal cause of crime, poverty and pauperism. On page 66 he says:
"Their estimates were not based on statistics. During the last de
cade of the Nineteenth Century a number of careful statistical in
quiries were made which reduced the factor of drink to surprisingly
low percentages."
HP HEN this author adds: 'The number of habitual drunkards is
comparatively small, and destitution occasioned by them,
though serious, is not the real menace to society."

BRYAN WILSON'S GUEST
FOR FIRST TIME SINCE
HE LEFT THE CABINET
President and Former Premier
Believed to Have Agreed
Against Excessive
Preparedness
MEETING SIGNIFICANT
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-For the first
time since he relinquished his post as
Secretary ot State, William Jennings
Bryan visited the White House today.
He was closeted with President Wilson
for nearly an hour and officials generally
regard the meeting as one of the most
important since tho President assumed
office, because of the effect that It may
have on his political fortunes. Bryan
insisted, however, that there was no sig
nificance In his call, but that he had
"simply paid his respects prior to leaving
for Florida tonight," Secretnry Tumulty
took the same view, although ho was
at pains to emphasize the friendly rela
tions he declared to exist between the
tno.
SEEKING INFORMATION
Despite the official attitude It was gen
erally accepted that the real object of
Bryan's call was to find out Just what the
President had In mind to recommend to
Congress on the subject of war prepared
ness legislation. On his return to this city
from the West. Bryan declared In a
lengthy statement that the people of the
country, especially the farmers, would not
stand for lavish expenditures for the
army and navy. Ho then made It plain
that he would accept the leadership of a
movement to combat any such program,
but mado It very plain that he did not
believe President Wilson would ntnnd for
any plan that provided for nn addition of
many millions to the country's expenses
Bryan was believed to have told the
President thtt, while he wns very anxious
to support the Administration In Its
legislative program, ho would bo com
pelled by conscience to fight any blp
army and navy plan, cvrn though the
President should espouse It. It is nls"
understood that the President made it
plain on his part that, while he believes
the country should prepare for defense,
he had no Intention of ndvocatlng tho
expenditure of nearly half a billion dol
lars for that purpose.
BRYAN WON'T TALK.
Bryan positively tefused to discuss his
visit on leaving the White House.
"I cannot discuss the conference. Any
how, I was there to pay my respects and
I had a pleasant visit," he said.
Bryan said he would leave tonight for
Florida and expected to make a number
of speeches en route. He reiterated his
views of preparedness, declaring that If
the big army and navy people had their
way they would very soon Involve this
country in the European war.
Bryan refused to say whether he had
talked with the President about the Euro
pean trip proposed to him by the foreign
language publishers of the United States.
He said that the situation, so far as that
trip wns concerned, ha not changed since
he told the editors on Monday that ho
would take their suggestion under advise
ment He said he would not reach any
decision before October 10, when he ex
pects to return to this city.
Publicity as Engineering Aid
Newspaper publicity as an aid in engi
neering projects was emphasized by C. E.
Drayer, of Cleveland, In an address before
the Engineers' Club ot Philadelphia, 1317
Spruce street, last night He told what
the Cleveland society had accomplished

when they have something
special to clean, buy naptha and
add it to lukewarm, soapy water.
It's a splendid cleanser.
But why buy naptha when
you can get it combined with
other even more wonderful
cleansers
It's ready to use for all kinds
of washing. Does the work in
half the time, too.
Not only for washing clothes just as wonderful for
