Evening ledgebpbciladeljphia, thtjbsday, October si. iois "-. ff ' TTil 1T i T .RJDffiSfONr AGAIN BATTLES IN FEDERAL COURT FOR FREEDOM Frank S. Mnrrjn, of Storey Cot ton Swindle Fame, Contends That Government Has No Right to Jail Him TIME' ALL DONE, HE SAYS Prank C Mftrrln. the "Judge Franklin Bton" of expenMvo memory to the vie tlm of the great $8,000,000 Story cotton wlndlc. went before Judge Dickinson, In thh United States Dlntrlct Court today, armed with a battery of teehnlcat legal pointy In an effort to avoid serving four . years In the Eastern Tenltentlary. Summed up. Marrln's contentions nre that to lodge him In Jail here would force him to a violation of hli New Tork parolo, that the parole ccrtlllcate was not made out In conformity with the laws of New York, and that the Government waived Its right to punish him by not asserting Its prior claim In 190S, when he was convicted In Brooklyn of swind ling ,an old woman out of 180,000. In Kddltlon to this, ho contends that In the eye of the law he has served his 1 sentence for the Storey Cotton Swindle, because "no ministerial officers could suspend the running of the sentence of the Federal Court." Marrln's contention about parole viola tion. Is contested by tho Government authorities. They point out that tho paper provides that Marrin Is to be re leased "upon parole at the discretion of the agent and warden of Auburn Prison after September 9, 1915, to be turned over to the United States authorities to answer charges against him, and then to George D. Morntt, Bush Terminal, Brooklyn, n. y." It Is In this connection that Marrin makes his second point; that the parole certificate did not comply with the New York Ia,w. As assistant to the clerk In Auburn prison, Marrin was well versed in the form of parole certificates. Mar rin says he signed tho parole cert I Ilea to with the understanding that he was to be turned over at once to Moffltt, Instead of being sent to this city. He contends that he' did not read the paper. When Marrin was awaiting sentence for the swindling charge In Brooklyn, and again Just after he started to serve time for that, he made efforts to have himself returned to the Jurisdiction of the Federal authorities here. Both at tempts failed. In each Instance the Gov ernment failed to Join In his action, and thereby, he contends, U waived all right to punish him for his part In the Storey cotton swindle. Lawyers are intensely interested in the case today. Marrin was expected to make a fight, but it was not expected to be so apparently well-grounded. Judge Dickinson took up-, the .case September 21, but declined to Qiake fr decision until he had before him tile records of the .Mar rin cases both in tlMPe'aersl -courts of this city and the StfttflT-CaUrtaC New York He now has these records,' There also Is a supplemental writ of habeas 'corpus upon which Judge Dickinson will decide today. A dramatic recital of his Jail experiences was given by Marrin when he took the witness stand before Judge Dickinson. The objection of Assistant United States District Attorney Hall was overruled by tho court to permit Marrin to testify Legal points in the case will be argued at t, o clock this afternoon. The court ad urned after the attomoys had submit ted briefs In which all the court proceed ings against Marrin here and elsewhere nre reviewed.

MARRIAGE TAXATION MET WITH RIDICULE BY PENN PROFESSOR New York Educator's Propositi to Restrict Marriage and Child Birth Called a Joke PRAISE FOR BACHELORS Few economists. In the opinion of Dr. Simon Nelson Patten, professor of politi cal economy at the University of Penn sylvania, will take seriously the effort of Dr. .Toieph French Johnson, dean of the finance school of the New York Univer sity, to link the Malthusian theory with the question of Income taxation. In a starltlng discussion of the merits and demerits of the State Income tax yesterday, Doctor Johnson declared In emphatic terms that the much nagged at bachelor. Instead of being subjected to a larger tax than the man of family, should actually be assessed for less than the benedict. Doctor Johnson followed this statement with one that marriage and child-bearing should bo regulated by some authority that should first have to be convinced of a man's ability to provide for a wife and family before allowing him to acquire them. He declared, further, that one of the basic causes of the present European war is the fact that the theories laid down by Malthus more than 100 years ago were not put Into practice. "I think before a man Is allowed to have a child," Doctor Johnson said, "he should convince some officer appointed for tho purpose of his ability to rear a child In the proper way." The New York professor added that a family mnn living In the metropolis with nn income of only $2500 Is a poor man. Characterizing the whole discussion ns trivial from the point of reason and trivial from the point of the money that would come in as a result of Increased taxation for married men. Doctor Patten, while loath to discuss the Malthusian the ory from a practical standpoint, declared that at least 90 per cent, of the population would be denied the privilege of marry ing and raising families, if Doctor John son's pronouncement regarding the $2500 were taken seriously. "Although I nm sure that nt least two thirds of the economists of the country would answer 'yes' If you asked them If they believed In the Malthusian theory of birth control " Doctor Patttn said, "yet If rnu asked them how to put their be liefs Into practice you would get at least 40 different replies. "Now that property has been taxed to tho limit, the question of raising revenue Is a serious one, but I nm apt to regard this latest development In the New York situation as a Joke. "Suppose," he continued, "that married men were punished with an increased tax. It would only be a matter of about $10 annually. Now, if you take the married men in the United States whose Income Is over the amount exempted let us say $1000 you have only a handful, and I doubt If the tax Increase would be more than $1,000,000 for the whole country. CARRANZA GETS BIG LOAN FROM NEW ORLEANS BANKERS Executive of Mexico Obtains $10,000, 000 in Gold NEW ORLEANS. La., Oct. 21.

CARRANZA TO GOVERN MEXICO AS 'EXECUTIVE' Head of De Facto Government Wants to Be Eligible for Election as President WASHINGTON, Oct. 21. Although the Carranza government Is the recognized legal de facto government In Mexico, the country will not have n "president" for a j ear, according to Information here today. Carranza does not expect to as sume the presidential title. Mexico will remain without a president, with Carranza continuing as Its "chief executive" merely. In order to be quali fied as a candidate for the presidency when general elections are called. Mexican delegates here declared that If Carranza should assume the title of "provisional president" he would disqual ify himself to run In the elections for President. By remaining merely "chief executive." or "first chief," he wlllv still be eligible as a candidate. All reports today pointed to the near extinction of the Villa movement. Villa's Junta here will go out of business Sat urday, when Enrique Llorente, hla chief agent, will close the Junta's office and move permanently to New York. Llorente, Generals Felipe Angeles, Chao, Itaoul Madero and jijier Vllllsta leaders In this country do not plan to return to Mexico, feeling Carranza will not extend them immunity.

Campbell, re tiring president of the National Pafetj Council, during the last day of the con gress at the Betlevue-Stratford. With the co-operation of the wives and women kinsfolk of the workman who has held aloof from the safety-first Idea the ulllmato success of the movement Is as suicd, said Mr. Campbell. "Women are the big force today," he said, "and they should have the vote. They are the greatest aids In the aafety flrst movement." Mr. Campbell said he was In favor of socialistic theory, but not socialistic practice. He added that It had been found that the majority of Industries did not need any coercion In the way of compensa tion acts to make them be strong sup porters of the principles of safety. He then repeated his assertion that the safety movement would In the end prove to be the greatest single factor toward placing the employer and employe on the samo level, and eliminating any friction or differences that might arise between them. Mnrcus A. Dow. of the New York Cen tral llnus, acted as chairman of the rail road section meeting this morning. Trans portation experts from the big s stems brought forth figures to prove that two thirds of the accidents were due to the human element, while but one-third could be rtopped by safeguarding machinery. "t Is this human factor that we have the grcntest trouble In contending with, as we can do our very best and unless the men do their part by obseivins at least the first principles of precaution, our efforts, time and money will be of no Many workmen from Industrial plants and some railroad workmen came to the first presentation In this city of Stevo Hill's Awakening." a motion picture the scenario of which was written by Mr. now. that gtaphlcally shows the dangers ' .- -, l.nli nt fnrpthnuffht on the part of railroad men and tho benefits ac- crulng to tnem it mey mum uc.c ...- act.

Franklin saw that the bucket and ladder brigade was far inadequate, so the fisrt fire department followed the bow legged watchman. In its place were formed several well equipped volunteer companies, with buckets, ladders and even large hampers for removing household contents, some of which were so well removed, that they were never located. However a big step toward civic betterment had been completed. ' C Franklin next founded an Academy, of which our present University of Pennsylvania is the offspring. Then fol lowed his preparations for the competent defence ofpSe port of Philadelphia, providing several forts supplemented trained garrisons and regiments. So continued the works of this great public servant, Benjamin Franklin, whose whole thought and life were devoted to the progress and prosperity of Philadel phia. NOW COMES THE y maflel FRANKLIN PARTY Inspired by the same iknsdfish, public-spirited sentiment that helped to feund Philadelphia; a party that every loyal and lib erty-lovlnp; citizen whether Republican, Democrat or Progressive may join; a permanent safeguard against greed, graft and political bargain,,.
