LAST BUM OF SUMMER,
LEFT SLEEPING ALONE,
QPSJItSPARKBENCH
Cold Wind at Last Drives
Hardiest Derelict From In
dependence Squaro to
Southern Haunts
BOME HOUSED BY HOTEL
"De Gink" Institution Affords Lodg
ing to "Roller Cats," but
No "Homo Guards"
A. cold wind blew across the erppty
square. The mn on the bench stirred
In an effort to shake tome warmth into
We body, and, railing-, ehoved his hands
4eper Into his Uttered pocket and re
sumed hla sleep. The moon shone down,
all radiant, as the wind swept through
the deserted pathways, driving heaps of
scattering; leaves before It,
As the big clock which shed, a green
light from the tower of Independence
Hall chimed tl It seemed as If the fury
of the wind Increased. Miniature clouds
of dust swirled under the empty benches.
But for awlsh of the wind-tossed leaves
the square was still, ptt to Jthe right
could be heard the deep bass of the auto
horns acc6mpanled by the clang of the
trolley cars. Occasionally a passerby
hurried through the square, as though
glad to set bejond such dismal sur
roundings. Still tho m.an slept or at
least made no movement to betray wake
fulness. The passing of the summer bum Is,
one of the sureit signs of autumn. He
Is the barometer that has never failed;
for when he, the knight of all weather,
Is forced from his summer villa the
park bench it is certainty that the sea
son of chestnuts, apples and frost has
come. The bum growls not, neither does
he complain. He takes the frigid weather
as a matter of course, and when It
forces him to seek habitation etsewhere
he doesn't tell the world his troubles.
He Is cheerful, something of the optim
ist, and takes things as they come.
Although the ordinary person does not
know U. there are two distinct classes of
bums. One Is the traveling bum. called
by the scribes the "knight of the road."
and the other Is the domestic bum the
bum who "hangs around" the city. Ho
rarely. If ever, goes more than Ave miles
from the base of his operations, 'inis
distinction can be easily found at tho
"Hotel De Qlnk" the bums' paradise at
Ith and Callowhlll streets. Although the
"hotel" can accomodate upward to a
hundred, the domesticated bum Is barred.
When an Investigator called at the
hostelry last night to ask If the patronage
had Increased since the advent of the
snappy weather, he was informed that
the hotel's patronage had not Increased,
aa It only accommodates the traveling
bums who come In from far-off cities.
The Investigator was also shown the
difference between tho two classes of
men. t.
"There are two distinct classes," said
the night clerk, "the bum who hangs
around the city and the traveling bum,
who stops here. We don't handle the
other kind."
Where the summer bum goes nonoay
knows. His migration Is silent. He has
no a trunks to worry him and ho doesn't
know where he's going until he's there.
As did the bum In Independence Square,
he gets up, shakes himself very much In
the manner of a dog and leaves for ports
unknown. In former years the summer
bum followed the example of tho birds
from the warmer climes, and migrated
with them south. This year, however,
the Mecca of the summer bum seems to
be Pennsgrove. Here the knights of the
road, who formerly were seen plodding
southward at this time of the year, have
gathered. Some are actually working in
the great powder mills,. Most of them,
however, are living strictly to their moral
code and doing nothing.
MAY QUIT MIDVALE STEEL
James F. Sullivan May Give Plnco on
Directorate to Vanderlip
Jamea F. Sullivan, president of the

The rumor that the Phlladelphlan bank

that either Edmund C. Converse, presi

Frank 1L Vanderlip, president of the
National City Bank of New York, Is
slated to succeed him. It Is understood
also that the number of directors will
be Increased to admit both of the latter
men.
Mr. Sullivan was a director of the steel
company when It was owned chiefly by
Philadelphia capitalists, headed by him

MAYOR WILL ASK $5000
FOR MOSQUITO FIGHT
Naval Officers and Surgeons Re
quest City's Aid in Getting
Rid of Pests
Mayor Blankenburg will ask Councils
to appropriate 15000 for uso In fighting the
mosquitoes In tho 4000-acre breeding
ground at the Philadelphia Navy Yard.
He arrived at this conclusion following
a conference with omccrs and surgeons of
the navy, who colled upon him to ask his
co-operation In the fight the naval author
ities are making against the pests.
Dr. W. II. Bell, chief surgeon at the
navy yard, headed the delegation, and
explained In detail tho manner In which
tho campaign against mosquitoes Is being
waged this fall.
Ho told Mayor Blankenburg, Doctor
Zlegter. of the Health Department, and
Director Cooke, or the Department of
Public Works, that the Government Is
spending (1000 a month In maintenance of
grounds. The most of this amount Is
being spent in the mosquito fight. In ad
dition to this sum. ho said. $3000 will be
devoted to exterminating the pests be
tween now and tho first of the year.
Doctor Bell explained that tho efllclency
of the men Is affected by the mosquitoes,
and that officers dread being assigned to
the yard becauso they know what un
pleasant summers It means for them.
Dr. F. It. Harris, of the naval forces.
told tho Mayor and the members of his
Cabinet present at the conference that
the evil, If allowed to exist and grow,
may affect adversely the hopes for a
bigger and more Important naval base
In this city. Ho added that tho Gov
ernment Is spending money inside the
grounds and will continue to spend large
sums to fight mosquitoes, but that nil
these expenditures will be without avail
If the city does not take up the fight out
side the grounds.
The worst breeding places, according to
the nnval authorities, are situated on the
lands that ultimately will be used for
recreation purposes by the city. This
statement was agreed to by engineers of
tho Bureau of Highways, who havo made
a study of tho situation south of Oregon
avenue.

"HELLO, CENTOAL, GIVE

Telephone Experts Believe This
Call May Become an
Everyday Event
NEW YORK, Oct. 1. "Hello, central,
give me the Philippines."
If the engineers of the American Tele
phone and Telegraph Company who am
now experimenting with wireless tele
phony are successful tho foregoing call
may become nn everyday occurrence.
Following the successful wireless con
versation by phone between Washington
and California, the words of which were
distinctly heard by tho wireless operator
on the shores' of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii
Island, Theodoro N. Vail, president of the
American Telephone nnd Telegraph Com'
pnny, announced today that the next ex
periment would deal with an effort to
convcrso across the Pacific between the
United States and the Philippine Islands.
If such an experiment Is successful It
will mean that persons may converse half
way around the world, but that Is not
tho end ot tno cuoris. ni mo -
In Europo is over worldwide tests win
bo made.
These experiments are expected to
revolutionize the telephone, and in the
course of time may do away entirely with
trunk lines between cities. Tho company
now regards wireless conversation be
tween the Atlantic and the Pacific as a
practlcnl and accomplished fact.
