GREAT ME0JCAL
CENTRELAN OF
PHYSICIANS HERE
Merger of Medico-Chi and
University's Schools
fj Contemplated
FIRST STEP OF PROGRAM
A merger of nil the medical colleges In
thts city Into ono great Institution of In
struction and the consequent making of
Philadelphia tho greatest medical centre
In tho country Is the hope held by prom
inent physicians nnd educators here.
The first step tonard this coal will bo
taken within a short time, It Is expected,
with the merger of the Medlco-Chlrurglcnl
Coliege and the medical school of tho Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. A resolution
"looking with favor" upon the proposed
merger has already been passed by the
trustees of the University and the con
summation of the mentor is regarded as
certain before long.
BUILDINGS MUST GO.
Tho buildings of Medlco-Chl are In the
path of tho Parkway and must foon bo
raxed. It Is believed that the student and
members of tho faculty will bo trans
ferred to tho University of Pennsylvania
and tho money that tho Institution will
receive from tho condemn! Ion of tho
property will be turned over to tho Unl
veislty. It is understood that the I3oard.
'of VlewerB has allowed a nuni of between
JGOO.000 nnd $700,000 as compensation to the
Medlco-Chlrurglcnl College.
Humors of a merger between tho two
medical schools have been heard for sev
eral years, but now It Is stated posi
tively that tho consolidation will bo
brought about. One of tho plans for tho
new Institution that will grow out of
this merger and of others expected to
follow calls for the establishment of a
great post-grnduato medical school with
a faculty of tho most learned physicians
to be found In any Institution of the
kind In the country. It Is expected that
an appropriation many times larger than
that obtained nt picscnt would bo had
from tho State nnd that students not only
from all parts of this country, but from
Europo as well, would bo attracted to
the Institution.
A special committee, agreed upon yes
terday nt tho meeting of tho Board of
Trustees of tho University of Pennsyl
anla. will Investigate the University's
part in' the new plan and will report
shortly to tho trustees.
If all of the medical schools could be
brought Into tho plan It would mean that
the money now appropriated by the Stato
and divided among tho Jefferson Medical
College, Medlco-Chl., the Women's Medi
cal College and the University Medical
School would bo combined Into ono large
sum and devoted to carrying out the aim
of establishing ono great centre of medi
cal instruction In this city.
JEFFERSON IN DOUBT.
Dean Patterson, of Jefferson Medical
College, said today he had heard nothing
to Indicate Jefferson will participate in
the proposed merger.
"We are satisfied with Jefferson as It
Is," he said. "Wo havo a university
charter, the samo as the University of
Pennsylvania, and conditions here aro not
in nny way similar to thoso at Medlco
Chl, which is being dispossessed by tho
Parkway and to which the merger is un
advantage.
"Of course, this talk of merging all tho
medical schools Into ono great Institution
- has been In the air for some time, and it
may be possible that a union of all the
i medical schools will bo brought about.
"Any action taken by Jefferson would
be up to the trustees, who probably
would consult the faculty.' There has
been nothing official done so far that 1
have heard of."
Many physicians connected with Penn
and with Medlco-Chl, who are on the
Inside of the scheme, are confident that
their plans will be realized, and are
pleased to reflect on tho advantages,
from many points of view, of such
combined institution.
It Is believed that the student body,
both undergraduate and graduate, would
exceed 1000. Buildings, splendid both
architecturally and in equipment, would
be erected. There Is no question In the
minds of medical men that the carrylnjr
out of the plan would make this city
the home of the best-equipped medical
school In the Western Hemisphere.
Already tentative plans have been made
for the erection of a building for post
graduate work, and it Is said that J1.000,
000 will be spent on the structure. It la
said that the Medlco-Chlrurgtcal College
now holds an option on a site along the
Parkway, and it Is thought that this
would bo an Ideal spot for the erection
of the school.
The Dackers of the plan have sounded
the administration of Jefferson Colleie on
the matter and hope is entertained that
this institution will bo Included In me
merger.
It is believed, say those who favor the
Plan, that the State authorities look with
favor upon having a large medical school
here instead of three or four smaller ones,
and It is thought that legislation during
the last flveiyears has indicated a tend
ency toward the establishment of two
great medical institutions In tho State,
ono In tho eastern part and the other in
the western part. Pittsburgh and Phllu-'
delnhla are the two lotlral centres for
such Institutions and, it Is argued, in this
city such a college should and undoubted
ly would come under the supervision of
the University of Pennsylvania,
Philadelphia already holds an Import
ant place as a centre of medical learning.
dui me establishment of the proposed
new college would give It a prestige so
great as to be almost unimaginable at
hub time.

'OPINION NOT WEIGHTY
SUFFRAGISTS REPLY TO
RUM INTERESTS' HEAD
Neil Bonner's Declared Opposi
tion to Votes for Women
Fails to Perturb Work
ers for the Cause
AVOID STXND ON LIQUOR
If Nell Bonner, president of the Na
tional nctnll Liquor Dealers' Association,
hoped to ruftlo tho placid, pre-election
calm of tho suffragists by his announce
ment that tho woman's enfranchisement
amendment would go down to defeat not
only In Pennsylvania, but In New Jersey
as well, his aspirations have been
blighted.
They are laughing at him. Coming after
President Wilson's affirmative stand,
they don't believe his declaration will
havo any appreciable weight and fur
thermore, in tho Intervals between past
ing up placards, sending out literature,
planning parades and making speeches,
they nre wondering what the liquor inter
ests have got to do with woman suffrage,
and why. If tho liquor men arc so dead
suro that the amendments nre going to
bo beaten, they go to so much trouble
to make frequent announcements against
tho suffragists.
"Mr. Bonner's statement." said Miss
Mary II. Ingham, vlco president of the
Equal Franchise Society, "that he disap
proves of our voting because tho great
mass of women do not wish to be en
franchised, is ridiculous. Organized
women havo declared unanimously for
suffrage State federations of clubs,
labor unions, the Ladles of the Macca
bees, the W. C. T. U., working women
and rich women have come out for the
cause.
NO DECLARATION ON LIQUOR.
"While suffragists as a body have not
declared themselves on tho subject of
the liquor question, because we feel It
Is n matter for the Individual to solve,
public opinion always credits women, and
rightly so, with the desire to want such
reforms as will benefit tho home, the
children and the general condition of
working women. This might mean tho
abolition of liquor, but wo cannot tell
until we havo the vote how we are going
to use It.' In view of the ever-increasing
number of persons who aro coming over
i to suffrage, I do not think Mr. Bonner's
oplnlns will have much weight."
According to Dr. Eleanor M. Hlestand
Mooro, chairman of the publicity bureau
of the Woman Suffrage party, tho presi
dent of tho Retail Liquor Dealers' Asso
ciation Is nssumlng an opposition whero
there Is no certainty that it exists.
"These nrguments against suffrage
amuso me," she said this morning. "Pre
sumably the liquor men are against us
because they think our having the vote
will hurt their pocketbooks. Then along
comes Senator Marline, who has launched
perhaps the most powerful argument the
antls havo ever had If an antl argu
ment can bo said to be powerful. The
chief reason that he gives for not want
ing women to vote is that they have not
proven themselves to bo opposed to the
liquor interests. So there you are. They
talk against each other.
KEEPING CLEAR OF ISSUES.
"Moreover, In view of the fact that
prohibition Is most rampant in the South,
where woman suffrage has not gained
the foothold that It has in the West and
North, Mr. Bonner's attitude is particu
larly Illogical. The liquor question, like
tho gold standard, democracy, socialism,
republicanism or free trade, has nothing
whatever to do with woman suffrage. We
aro not linked up with anything and
we nro keeping clear of all Issues. We
are simply going to vote according to our
indlvidunl convictions, and in the long
run it will take more than Mr, Bonner
and tho Interest he represents to stop
us."

MOTHER KILLS FAMILY
SHE CANNOT SUPPORT
Continued from I'aitr One
worked far Into the night, when others
were going to the "movies" or sitting
down to read the evening papers.
In an effort to augment her Income, sho
boarded two children. Thej were found
this morning unharmed, sleeping on the
first floor and were taken away after
the tragedy became known.
One of them was an 8-month-old little
girl, Anna Stone, a protegee of tho Chil
dren's Aid Society, who employed Mrs.
Hagar to act as nurse, nnd tho other was
William Coleman, 2 ears old, placed In
the woman's care by Miss Budd, of tho
Mcdlco-Chlrurglcal Hospital.
With five children now to look after,
Mrs. Hagar began a nght that would
havo been nothing short of miraculous
had It ended In nnythlng but defeat.
"She worked like n galley slave." said
Mrs. Anna Craig, a next-door neighbor,
who lives at 2028 Cleveland avenue, "and
here of late she has been so tuckered out
she could hardly hold on any longer. Sho
neier did get over the death of her hus
band. Ho was a good man.
"But at first sho tried hard to do all
the work without giving up. Lately,
though, I'vo heard her say she couldn't
stand It much longer and If something
didn't happen soon to make things better
she'd have to end It all. She'd Just about
gone the limit."
At 8:30 this morning Mrs. Craig de
tected the odor of gas emanating from
the Hagar house. Fearing to enter alone
she called Mrs. James Bright, 2020 Cleve
land avenue, and Mrs. Gillespie, of 2022.
Together they tried the front door, but
found it locked. The crevices were
stuffed with rags.
They then tried the front window and
forced It open. In this room the two
children wlvpm the woman was boarding
were asleep. Not enough of the gas to
harm them had penetrated here, and
there they wero sleeping naturally. Quick
ly taking thm out, the neighbors" went
up stairs, where they found the little girl,
Katherine, first of all, and In the next
room Mrs. Hagar, with the two younger
children. In this room a tube was hang
ing from the only gas Jet and the gas
was on. Rags and papers In the windows
nnd doors showed the act to be premedi
tated. Falling to arouse cither the mother or
the children, Mrs. Craig and her com
panions called a neighborhood physician,
who pronounced them all dead. Tho po
lice were then notified. Relatives of the
woman or her husband cannot bo located.

dicate cither tho success or failure of
the serum treatment.

WILSON'S SWEETHEART
WONT GIVE UP SECRET
OF COMING NUPTIALS
Mrs. Edith Gait Sweetly but
Firmly Refuses to Tell
yhen She'll Be
Bride
NCtt TO RUSH MARRIAGE
WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-That a woman
effectively can keep a secret when sho
no desires is being exceedingly well dem
onstrated by Mrs. Edith Gait, Presi
dent Wilson's beautiful fiancee. Her
closest friends In Washington are Miss
Helen Woodrow Uoncs, the nleco of the
President, and Miss Gertrude Gordon, her
ward. Both are exceedingly anxious to
know the date settled upon for the wed
ding, but they have Informed their Inti
mates that they "know no more about
It than any one else." And Mrs. Gait pre
serves a smiling air of Indifference when
pressed to name tho day. However, It
Is now accepted that the wedding will
not be rushed, becnuse some of tho Presi
dent's political advisers believe It would
"be a good thing to havo it over with
and get the gush cut out." The Presi
dent and Mrs. Gait Intend to cnjpy their
days of courtship to the utmost.
Today's only Intimation on tho subject
was a direct ono from tho White House
that tho customary announcement would
be mado In due time. Whether this will
be soon cannot be said. Hut to put an
end to wild rumors ono that Mrs. Gait
and the President already had actually
been married tho announcement was
made.
Seldom lefore havo lovers so much In
the public eyt as tho President and his
llunccc taken sc little piccautlon to dis
guise their happiness. The President has
freed himself from the Irritated air with
which he has greeted newspaper men nnd
women nnd photographers to such an ex
tent that It is a lively topic of conversa
tion, and he Is willing at at) times to pose
with the beautiful woman who soon is to
becomo the tirst lady of tho land. And
the chivalrous lover-like attitude with
which he greets her at all times has
greatly endeared him to the women who
have witnessed it.

FIRE DESTROYS POSTOFFICE
Blaze of Unknown Origin Destroys
Building nt Lawnslde, N. J.
Scores of automobile parlies bound here
from Atlantic City, along the White
Horse pike, stopped to witness a spec
tacular blaze last night which destroyed
the postofflce at Lawnslde, N. J., and
threatened the entire town.
Volunteer fire companies from Magno
lia, Barrington, Haddon Heights and Au
dubon battled with the flames for nearly
two hours, which spread to tho yards of
adjoining properties.-
The cause of the fire Is unknown. Sam
uel Dltton, the postmaster, had come to
this city early last night and no one was
In the building when tho nro started. A
safe containing the postofflce funds and
stamps was saved. The loss was J300O.

You know this sausage
made after a famous old

so seasoned as to make it
just a little more delicate
and a little finer to the
taste.
And scrapple of the kind that
helped make Philadelphia fam
ous. Just the right balance of
ingredients and that snappy ap
peal to the taste that comes
from fine, skillful seasoning nnd
perfect materials. After you've
