Working by Candle Light in
North Brond Street Edifice,
They Respect Altar
Vandats brofca into the Church of Our
Lady of tho Blessed Sacrament iora
time between midnight and 6 o'clock this
mornlnc and started to wreck various
symbols of worship. They experienced a
than,, of heart as they carried their
work of destruction toward the altar,
paused before It In ithe weird light of
their candles, respected the shrine and
turned their energies Into the safer chan
nels of petty theft. The loss Is about
J300.
The Interior of the little church, on the
west sldo of Broad street, the second
door abovo Itldee avenue, was dark and
quiet and mysterious as a catacomb after
tho Rlare and bustle of the noisy thor
oughfare outside, alone toward noon.
Presently the outlines and colors at the
altar grew out of the darkness, over
which presided n tiny flame of red In a
hanging cluster of candle, the only light
there except the subdued reflection of
sunlight that crept through the stained
glass of windows.
From the door, after the silent closing
of It had hushed away tho street clatter,
nothing could be seen of tho work of the
Aandals except In the awkward angle
of a wrenched font. An old man who
entered, to alt In sllenco gazing at the
shrine, did not know anything had hap
pened in the night. There Is a feeling
of Intimacy In the church, there being
only 12 rows of pews, rr.d these are semi
circularly disposed, so that all eyes are
concentred on the altar.
RIP CANDLES WITH PRIEST'S
KNIVES.
The vandals went about their work In
a. curiously malicious manner. They
first broke into the rectory adjoining.
They went to the kitchen, where they
stole the silver knives of the rector, the
' Tlev. Thomas J. Park. They broke a win
dow to get In, and they broke a window
in the side door going into the church to
get at the lock.
It was probably a little after mldnlgnt
when they found themselves In the
church. The organist had been there
until shortly before 12 o'clock, practicing.
It is thought the men waited until they
heard the last of the resonant tones and
watched the organist leave the building.
The small red flame which burns all night
long did not give enough light to help
them at their strange work. So they car
ried candles.
Seven golden candelabra in the sanctu
ary, valued at atjout $50 each, were dis
mantled and disfigured. A candle stand,
in front of the Image of the Virgin, was
overthrown, and when the vandals got
that far they stopped. The altar was not
assailed. None of the statues was In
lured. TURN TO POOn BOXES.
"It was clearly a case of vandalism,"
aid the rector today. "Vandals entered
the church about two years ago and did
same slight damage. The men who en
tered last night evidently were familiar
with the church and those who worship
here."
When the Invaders started to have
compunctions they turned their attentions
to the iron boxes In which contributions
for the poor aro placed. Four of these
-were broken. In the church vestibule and
in the corridor of the adjoining building,
two being wrenched from the wall and
two partly destroyed by heavy blows.
Ten dollars was taken from one of them.
But the gold of which some of the
candelabra In the church are fashioned
was not carried away. The men seemed
to be satisfied with mutilating it and
leaving it on the ground.

PORTER HITS HARD
IN REPLY TO LANE
Continued from Tags One
that part of the campaign would be at
tacks upon the Independent candidates.
Mr. Porter answered the "charges"
msde by Lane Immediately after the
Lane statement was made public.
LANE'S ATTACK ON PORTER.
Lane's statement follows:
'Then voters are interested In men as
well as In things, notwithstanding Mr.
Lane's .assertions to the contrary. And
they are vitally Interested In electing a
Mayor Who will not only protect the mer
chant from robbery, but also the tax
payers from the looting of the political
contractors.
"Mr. Lone charges the Are and police
bureaus with being demoralized and in
efficient, lis it Mr. Lane's Idea that real
efficiency would best be secured by the
appointment of another Henry Clay as
Director of Public Safety and another
Ti O'Leary as Assistant Superintendent
of Police.
"Last night I asked Mr. Smith a series
of questions, expecting answers from him,
not from Mr. Lane. I deny the charges
made by Mr. Lane against the brave and
patriotic firemen and policemen of Phila
delphia that the bureaus of which they
are members are demoralized. On the
contrary, I assert, and I speak from nn
intimate knowledge of the men, that
never In the history of Philadelphia have
these two departments been so splendidly
and efficiently manned as at this mo
ment." 'The candidate of the so-called Frank
lin party ticket announced the platform
on which he waa to stand. It will not
do for him at this time to Inject person
alities Into the campaign. People aro In
terested in things and not men. They
want to know how the city Is to be
treated In a progressive way during the
next four years. It ill becomes this so
called candidate to attack any of the can
didates on the Republican ticket. It
would be more becoming If he would ren
der an account of his stewardship to the
people of Philadelphia, and explain why
the police force Is demoralized and where
during any administration gunmen in
bread daylight broke Into Jewelry stores
and robbed taxpayers of Philadelphia of
their goods and chattels. It would be
well for him to explain why the police
force is so demoralized that reputable
nvn were killed by gunmen from other
sections of the country,
"The people are Interested In knowing
in what condition tho Fire Department
Is; what picayune policy has been adopted
nnd how good men have been driven from
the service to give way to Jokes and no
vices, and In consequence thereof the
Klre Department is utterly demoralized.
"It might have been well for this candi
date of many parties to have explained
to the people whether or not he still
stands for all the nefarious schemes of
taxation exploited by the present Mayor.
He cannot evade his responsibility In this
matter, for he was a member of the Cab
inet and subscribed to the most un
American schemes of taxation ever at
tempted to be fostered In any city In this
country.
"It might be well for him to explain, in
view of his present attitude, why
gambling Is allowed to exist within the
snaaow ot vny nan. ana where any.
man can lay uuwn a Dei on any nurse
race In this country. Come and tell the
people the truth, and open up the1 con
duct of your own office to the scrutiny
of your fellow citizens." '
MR. PORTER'S REPLY.
Mr. Porter took up the charges made
by tho Organization In their turn and
answered them all. He said;
"Mr. Lane's statement is no answer to
a single charge made by me last night,
but Is a characteristic Organization
evasion of plain Issues.
"Last night I charged John P. Con
nelly, the Organization nominee for City
Solicitor, with having been the paid at
torney of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit
Company, while occupying- the oMce of

PHILADELPHIAN MUST
PAY HEART BALM
C. H. Bell Wins $5000 Suit
Against Doctor for Aliena
tion of Wife's Affection
Word wns received hero this afternoon
that $5000 damages had been awarded to
Charles H. Bell, of New York, In the Su
preme Court, In the suit which he brought
against Dr. Leopold De Medina, of this
city, alleging that he had alienated the
affections of Mrs. Bell. At Doctor De
Medina's house, 69th and Carpenter
streets, it was said that there was no one
at home.
Drostor De Medina was also named as
co-respondent In a divorce suit which
was won by Bell without a contest. Bell
is a bookkeeper, and charged that the
physician won the affections of his wife
while teaching her Spanish.
Mrs. Angela De Medina, wlfo of the
doctor, voluntarily appeared In court to
defend him. She said that he was now
BOmewhere In South America, represent
ing a drug Arm, and declared It was pos
sible that Mrs. Bell might be there also.
The woman showed by her attitude that
aho still had a friendly feeling toward her
husband.
She asserted that she and the doctor
were on best of terms, and that the legal
proceedings had not caused any trouble
between them.
Bell said that his wife Bpent several
weeks with Doctor and Mrs. De Medina
in this city and that when she returned
to New York she was "a changed
woman."
ACCUSED MURDERESS
TO TELL OWN STORY
Continued from race One
Stringfcllow had pleaded not guilty to
the Indictment charging her with first-degree
murder.
The stage was set for a dramatic re
hearsal of events which culminated In the
shooting, when Mr. Hannum arose and
mado the first offer which resulted In the
display of deference for womanhood which
,t6e Justlco made in the courjitroojn.
"Because Mrs. sinngieiiow is a woman
I am Inclined to accept a new plea of
second-degreo murder, which I understand
she i willing to make," said Mr. Hannum.
"I can also see that, perhaps, Mrs. String
fellow was logical! drhen to commit
the murder. Although there are unmis
takable evidences of first-degree murder,
for the reasons stated I should be glad
If the Court would accept the new plea."
Judeie Johnson agreed with the attor
ney, who also stated that he could pro
duce 30 witnesses to refute Intimations
by the defense concerning the dead man's
character.
Mrs. Strlngfellow. cpenlv relieved at the
outcome, maintained the composuie
which has marked her behavior In court,
although her eyes were a little moist as
her weeping daughters, Mrs. Daniel
Flynn and Mrs. Philip Temple, accom
panied her back to Jail,
She shot and killed Bowen, for whom
she had been housekeeper, on the porch
of Mrs. Florcnai Bostron's home at Ches

ADEQUATE MEANS
OF U. S. DEFENSE
Wilson Pleads for Co-operation
Before Advisory
Board
EXPERTS HOLD SESSION
WASHINGTON Oct. 6. President Wil
son this afternoon struck out straight for
greater preparedness In an address of
welcome to members of the Naval Ad
lsory Board at the White Housecalling
upon them to unite with the Government
In establishing a defense that would
"command the respect of the entlro
world."
"I think the whole nation Is convinced
that we ought to be prepared not for
war. but for defense, and very adequate
ly prepared," the President said. "The
preparation for defense Is not merely a
technical matter; It Is not a matter that
the army and navy alone can tako care
of, but a matter In which we must have
the co-operation of tho best brains and
knowledge of the country, outside the
official service of the Government as well
as inside.
"For my part I feel that It Is only In
the spirit of a true democracy that we
get together to lend each othcr'voluntary
aid, the sort of aid that comes from In
terest, from a knowledge of the varied
circumstances that are Involved in
handling a nation.
"I want you to feel that we have a
very serious purpose, that we have not
asked you to associate yourself with us
except for a very definite and practical
puipoie, to get you to give us your best
Independent thought as to how we ought
to make ready for any duty that may
fall upon the nation,
"I do not have to expound it to you:
you know as well as I do the spirit of
America. The spirit of America Is ono
of peace, but one of independence, It
Is a spirit that Is profoundly concerned
with peace, because it can express it
self best only In peace. It Is the spirit
of peace and good will nnd ot human
freedom; but It Is also the spirit of a
nation that Is self-conscious, that knows
and loves Its mission In the world and
that knows It must command the respect
ot the world.
URGES CO-OPERATION.
"So it seems to me that we are not
working as those who would change any
thing of America, but only as those who
would safeguard everything In America.
I know that jou enter Into conference
with the officers of the navy In that spirit
and with that feeling, and it makes me
proud that the busy men of America, tho
men wno sianu at tne iront or tnelr pro
fession, should be willing In this way to
associate themselves voluntarily with the
Government In the task In which It needs
all sorts of expert and serious advice,
Nothing ought to be done In this country
by any single group of persons every
thing ought to be done by all of us united
together and welcome this association in
tho most serious and grateful spirit."

FANS' PLEAS ARE
HEEDED AT LAST
Continued from Tare One
minutes In the tralnshed and then scat
tered. Their arrival was noted by the
police. Captain Kcnney said today, that
ho had Information that 40 men from New
Tork are at work In this city seeking
tickets, in nddltlon to tho local men.
"Wo're going to make one grand
clean up," said Van Thysen, when he
was. questioned. "Don't ask me where
we're going to get the tickets. We'll
have them right after they're Issued."
The scalpers who scattered found sta
tions in front of various fashionable
clubs and hotels.
"Are vou well supplied with tickets for
the world's series?" they asked men go
ing In and out.
Those who nnswered In the negative
were asked to glo their orders. The
scalpers made arrangements to deliver
tha tickets tomorrow. A curious feature
of the coming street sale was the notion
of the largest local ticket agency today,
which refused to accept any more orders.
Agents of this firm said enough orders
had been received to fill the Phllly park
and another one like It from grandstand
to bleachers. Tet the scalpers are still
ncthtly taking orders.
POLICE DETERMINED.
"We'll watch these ticket speculators
from New "York and also the Philadel
phia men to see If they get nny tickets,"
said Captain Kenney today, In the course
of an Interview In which he rellovod him
self of some caustic remarks about the
Thllly club management. According to
the captain, he has a brother-in-law who
came all the way from tho Philippines,
spending 1176 to get here, nnd now finds
he cannot obtain a ticket.
The brother-in-law Is Captain M. Hayes
O'Keefe. Captain Kcnney says he might
have crossed the Pacific on a Government
transport free, but he was afraid he
might be too late, so he spent the $176 In
paying his passage and railroad fare. The
captain Is now In this city, and If he
wants to see the world's series he will
have to go elsewhere for his pasteboards.
"I think this series Is n gouge," Bald
Captain Kenney, gloomily. "We have in
formation that 40 speculators arc hero
from New York and we're going to watch
them."
The captain admitted that President
Baker, of the Phillies, offered hjm 25 2
"Much obliged," said Captain Kenney,
and walked out of Baker's office.
Superintendent of Police Robinson w-ns
offered fifty $3 seats. He also declined
them.
It became known today that the Teter
E. Costello & Co, was Included In tho list
of "reputable business men" for whom
Superintendent Robinson asked Baker for
tickets. The Phllly president refused to
comply with the demand. Several other
politicians are said to have been Included
In the list.
Captain Kcnney admitted today that
President Baker said to htm In the course
of their interview yesterday: "If you
were In any other city you would be
brought up before the police board of
Inquiry Just for asking for world's series
tickets."
The captain says he told Baker of his
23 years' service on the police force and
challenged him to start anything he felt
ho could back up before the police board.
"I'm ready to face trial for anything
I've done," said the captain, nncrlly.
The gloom at City Hall today was so
thick It could be cut with a knife. Poli
ticians whose cigars ordinarily point to
the north star were dropping today. The
assurance of old had disappeared. A
look of desperation had taken Its place.
All chance of getting world's series
tickets at face value was dead, and the
City Hall hangers-on knew it.
Tho scalpers were dlfTcient. They wero
whistling chf-erfully In the short intervals
between Interviews with prospective pur
chasers, Jugkllng small change or sorting
out powerful looking rolls of bills with
the nonchalance of those who "get It
easy."
"Sure we'll have the tickets," said the
scalpels; "don't we always have them?.
Didn't we have 'em Ust jear? We'll have
'em next year, too, and the year after,
so long as they hold World's Series. Give
Up your name and address and como
around with tho long green, pal, and
you'll get your cards,"
Robert B. McRoy, special representa
tive of the National Commission, reached

Finance Committee, Ignoring
Blankc.nburg'8 Plea, Will
Cripple Servicq, but Will
Provide Junket Money
CASH FOR BELL'S TRIP
Another big Junket Appropriation In con
nection with the Liberty Bell Is to be
rushed through by City Councils tomor
row, whllo demands of the Mayor for
funds to pay laborers and mechanics to
purchase fuel nnd food for city institu
tions, to ropalr streets and water mains
nnd to support Juvenile delinquents, are
being Ignored.
More than a million dollars Is needed
to tide over the various departments of
the city until the first of next year, but
It Is generally understood arouhd City
Hall today, that tho Finance Committee
of Councils will take no action to pro
vide this sum. About HOO.000 of the
amount Is for fuel In'the Water Bureau.
Mnor Blnnkcnburg nuked Chairman
John P. Connelly, of Councils' Finance
Committee, several dajs ago to let him
know what action Is to bo taken on the
urgent Items. Tho Mnor had not yet
had a reply. Today tho Mayor summed
up the financial situation for the closing
months of his administration, and con
cluded with the following:
"Cbunclls would like to have this Ad
ministration go out showing a big deficit,
nnd for that reason they do not want to
give the departments the mpney that la
badly needed for tho proper conduct of
city affairs. I nno called attention to
some of the financial needs, nnd action is
now up to Councils."
But whllo Councils Is starving tho nd
mlnlstratlpn for political effect by failure
to appropriate for necessities of tho mu
nicipal government, swift action Is sched
uled for the ordlnanco to appropriate
J.12,000 to bring home tho Liberty Bell
from the Panama-Pacific Exposition at
San Francisco.
