CLIQUES AMONG PILGRIMS
STOCKHOLM. Dee. S7.-Tho new man-
agement of the Ford peace pnrtv wns to-
dav endeavorlna to close the ranks and
prevent further secessions, following the
withdrawn! of Governor Hanna, of North
Dakota, nnd Mrs. Inez Mllholland llolsae
vnln The whole delegation probihly will bo
called together and urged to bury the war
hatchet while on tho nenco trail. The
Ilev. Jcukln Lloyd Jones believes there Is
still n chance for the mission's partial
success If tho pilgrims work In lmrmory
from now on.
At n tueetlnif lield here Inst night sev
eral leaders explained the Ford plnn to
TOO Social Democrats. They registered
their approval and probably will give the
party support
The Swedish papers, tnklng n different
lew than that expressed by the press of
Norway, declare that Ford's expedition
might actually have hastened the wnr's
rnd had It not been bndlv managed.
Mrs. Bolsscvaln says the peacp pnrty Is
"undemocratic." and has Issued a state
ment In which slip sns.
"Alt the misunderstandings and dis
sensions In pollcs, the mistakes nnd In
efficiency and the Innblllt) to get the
idea of a mediating pencn cotlgiess com
prehensively before tho public nt home
and nbroad were caused by the failure
to organize early In tho oyngc."
Christmas has come and gone nnd the
boys nre still In the trenches. Indeed,
tho pence delegates ns rt have no Idea
how to get them out. Louis P. Lochner.
secretaty of the Illinois Peace Society,
has announced that a committee of ad
ministration had been named on Fri
day nnd was conslderiiif the matter.
Mr. I'ord's departure was a great blow
to tho delegates, some of whom wanted
to quit, but loyalty to Mr. Ford forbade
this. Tho Ilev. Dr. Charles P. Aked ad
mitted that tho delegation wns "In a
hole" and that It was depending on tho
newspaper men to pull It out.
FIltCTION CONTINUES.
Friction continues between tho different
cliques Ih tho pnrty, due to the superse
ding of the elected committee by the np
jiolntlve committee named by Mr. Ford.
This, It was held by ono faction, violated
the principles of democracy. Mrs. Holsse
valn was tho principal person to object
to the change.

Robert Hermann, llrst of the Ford peace
delegates to get buck to New York.
Mr. Bermaun was a passenger on the
Swedish-American liner Stockholm
"Mr Ford became disgusted with bin
band of pence, envoys after they began
quarreling," said Mr. Hermann. "The
trouble was there were too many strong
lndlvldualtles among them, with no re
training hand upon them. The trouble
became acute when the Itev. Chiules p.
Akcd, the Itev. I.loyd Jones and Mrs.

MAYBE YOUR GIFT IS DELAYED
Don't Be Impatient, Mails and Ex

Those who still expect or miss Christ
mas presents should not abandon hope,
as it may be a case of "not yet but soon."
More than 500,000 Christmas parcels corn

Scarcity of cars on account of munition
shipments and the movement of parcel
post handicapped the express companies

The defendant1! were nncstcd last
Thiirsdnv afternoon In their ofllces. They
went with the constable before the Mag
istrate and each produced a $1000 bill,
which was accepted ns ball for their ap
pearance on Wednesday. Augustus W.
Jordnu Is a widower. In his forties, and
his nephew Isaac Is 35 jcors old and sin
gle The former lives at Ka West Hoit
ter stieet. niul the latter at 6116 McCatlum
street, llermatilown.
The rouiplnlnt on which the men weie
arrested was made by Wilfred Jordan
and his biothei, Hevan Y. I'. Jordan.
Wilfred Jordan, who Is curator of the
museum nt Independence Hall, lives with
his fnther. Dr. John W. Jordan, librarian
of the Pennsylvania Hlstorlcnl Society,
at 493.1 Chestnut street. Their attorney Is
Mr. Lawson, and the attorneys for the
defendants are Frank B. Trichord and
Murdoch Kendrlck.
It became known today lhat in the
Orphans' Court suit is pending to hac
Isaac Cantleld Jordan temoved as ono
of the executors and trustees of the es
tate of Wllllnm It Jordan, who left an
estate of more than KOO.000 This suit will
come to trial shorllv It was brought
by these flvi- heirs of Wllllnm II. Jonlan:
Wilfred Jordan, Mrs. Helen Jordan Snel
lenburg, Bex an V. P. Jordan, Edgar
Francis Jordan and Terrlne U. Jordan.
Associated with Mr Law son ,ln repie
sentlng these five heirs Is V. Gilpin Hob
lnson. Mr. Lawson and John Weaver,
former Mayor, represent the prosecution
In the charges of fnlslfjlng and forging.
AIUIEST FOLLOWS PltOUE.
"The charges against Augustus and
Isaac Jordan aro the result of months of
Investigation by private detectives," said
Mr. Iawson. "They chunged figures in
threo or morp instances to gain for them
selves at least $13,000 and they depleted
the capital of the business at least lt',000
more. This was done by a clever system
of unauthorized overdrafts. The total of
all these overdrafts may run Into the
hundreds of thousands. Private detec
tives aro tracing the missing funds.
".Most of It was squandered by the de
fendants In entertaining beautiful girls
In gay cabaret parties In .New loik, An
bury Park nnd Atlantic Clt, and In the
showering of costly presents on these
girls. Overwhelming evidence has been
obtained to show that each of the men
has upon repeated occasions taken suit
cases filled with costly lingerie to the
business offices of the old llrm on Dela
ware avenue and compelled the young
women clerks to embroider Initials on
the goods.
"Two jears ago there was a vacancy
among the trustees of the JoiUnn estate
and Dr John W. Jordan, brother of the
late William II Jordan, was suggested
to the Orphans' Court to till the vacancy.
At that time the two accused men pre
sented legal objections to Dr. Jordan's
appointment The feuied he would rule
matters with an Iron hand.
"ileerle & Ha, public accountants,
were employed at the direction of the
court, and It happens that they were the
tlrst to discover the vailous frauds. Then
the banks refused to give the llrm ciedlt,
banks which had dealt with the Jordan
concern for a century."
BUSINESS LEFT AS BEQUEST.
William II. Jordan died on December
?J, mio. Ills will was probated on Jan
uary !, 1911. One clause reads.
"In regai d to my Interest in the firm
of W. II. & F. Jordan, Jr.. which I
desire to consider entirely separate from
the property hereinbefore disposed of,
it is my earnest desire to continue the
firm for the benefit of two or three mem
bers of the family. The pride which I
have always taken In the financial stand
ing and antiquity of the house, origin
ally established In 1778, prompts me
to direct my executors to transfer
within 20 days of my decease to the llrm
the sum of J10.50O. which sum I
direct to be contiibuted as an addition
to the capital which I already had in
vested there, nnd which I direct to be
further increased hereafter by the addi
tion of the proceeds of the life Insurance
policies in the New York Life Insurance
Company In my favor, amounting to 15,
000 or whatever these proceeds may be."
Isaac Cantleld Jordan ,wus told that
MAY SEEK TO AVOID COUUTS.
Wilfred Jordan, one of the plaintiffs,
intimated lhat an attempt was being
made to settle the affair out of court.
"If the facts get out," he said, "It will
stir the entire city, involving a number
of well-known persons."
It was said by Mr Iawson that the
name of a beautiful Philadelphia woman
might be Involved in the testimony at the
hearing Wednesday She is a widow, and
is Bald to be of a prominent family.
The family feud oer the company's
management Is said to have begun soon
after the death of Francis Jordan. At a
family conference, Augustus W, Jordan
was chosen manager and his nephew as
sistant. There was dissatisfaction over
the management and two factions in the
family formed.

There Is n new and somewhat stjIMi
disease nmohg us. It Is called petro

due largely to Inhaling gasoline funics
from automobiles. As u icsult, It Is be

The most peculiar thing about petro

REV. II . C. STONE'S
TRINITY POST FILLED
Continurd from I'ugr One
this Is now said to be unlikely. Xo in
formation Is available as to whether Mr.
Warlleld or Mr. Mali' will bo rector In
charge of the chapel, assuming that tho
prediction that Air. Stone will teslgn Is
correct.
There Is the possibility, It has been sug
gested, that the appointment of Mr. War
Held means that Mr. Stone will not re
sign, but will continue, nominally, at
least, us rector of the chapel, but that
the great bulk of the work will be taken
from his shoulders by the new assistant.
This arrangement would give him more
time to devote to the Htonemen.
The belief that Mr. Stone is to give all
his time to the Stone Club Is based on
the report that the club Is to be ex
panded on e. large scale, and that It will
be such a great Institution that it will
take all the time Its head can give to it
for the direction of its affairs.
The Itev. Br. Floyd Tomklns. rector of
Holy Trinity, who, next to Mr. Stone
himself, Is thought to know more about
the Stone Club than any one else, has re
fused to discuss the report of Mr, Stone's
resignation. Ho has advised all ques
tioners to wait until (he meeting of the
vestry next month, when, he says, the
real facts will become known.

BISHOP TELLS DIVINES
Methodist Ministers Severely
Reprimanded for Their Busi
ness Men's Attire
Cleigjnien who wear buslue.s suits
weie seveiely icpilm.itided today, by
Uishop Tlioma.s H. Neely, of the Methodist
Episcopal Liiuicli. In an nddiess before
the Ministerial L'niou In the Central
Branch of the V. M. C. A. Not more than
one-third of the 300 preachers present
weio neatly attired In legulutlon cleilcal
gnib.
The Bishop was talking on "The Min
ister, tho Service and the Church," and
it was during his dlsconi.se uu tho neces
sary qualification of the men who would
servo as tho Master's shepherds that ha
called upon all of them to 'wear their
uniforms."
"The clerical coat and vest should al
ways be worn," said the speaker, "and
when a minister puts on a business suit
of clothes he Is practicing fnlso pretenses
he Is representing himself to be some
thing which he Is not."
"The cleilcal suit is a defense against
violence for the wearer." continued
Bishop Xeely. "It protects him from
listening to vulgar and profane lan
guage und also helps him to be on his
guard. He knows the public! looks to
him as a man of Clod and an .example.
He must not disgrace his uulfoim."
The aged speaker also urged that min
isters maintain dignity and terrain from
singing their sermons at services, and
he said that some of the persons are de
signing1 churches at present that are ruin
ing church architecture. The exterior is
best when of Gothic style, he said, and
the interior should be long and narrow,
with a pulpit only slightly raised above
the floor. Preachers should not have to
talk down so that their throats would be
sore and they would need trips to Europe
for rests after the war, he asserted.
Bishop Neely also spoke against a
union of all denominations, and expressed
his belief that no peison In the room
would ever see It come to pass. He said
that Christ never asked for a union of
denominations. Once, during- his dis
cussion of such a union, he spoke of the
Stone Age. and then brought forth much
applause when he said; "his Is not the
Stone Age."
His hearers Inferred that he was gently
assailing the Stonemen Fellowship, which
has recently caused so much dlssentton
In the majority of the denominations.
The organization, previous to Bishop
Neely's address, voted to send a letter to
the Park Commissioners, requesting that
permission be granted to the following
cuhrch and religious organizations to con
duct services In the city parks next sum
mer: Tha Christian Endeavor Society of the
Kmmanuel Methodist Episcopal Church
Gorgas Park; the Twenty-ninth Street
Methodist Episcopal Church, the Lemon
Hill Association, ' Lemon Hill, and the
Brotherhood of Andrew an Philip and
other affiliated organizations in the vicin
ity of Hunting Park, to hold services In
that park.
The commissioners announced, follow
in&the, long-drawn-out controversy over
the denial of permission to the Lemon Hill
Association last year, that henceforth no
religious services would be permitted Jn
the city parks.

decided on, will equal or surpass many
of the art galleries ot Europe.
Several hundred thousand dollars have
been spent In grading the site for the
buildings, and there Is available, at this
time JS0O.O0O of loan money for the start
of the work. Provision for the art gul
lery was contained in the recently aban
doned 19S.000.000 loan, and It Is likely that
provision for the building will be In
cluded in the new loan, which it is
planned to put to a vote of the people
in the early months of the new admin

MAYOR RIDDLE LAUGHS
AT PRAYERS FOR HIM
Continued from 1'iigo One
"there may bo more that live alid there
may bo fewer."
At this point tho Inlenlcw was Inter
rupted by a man who desired the Major
to subscribe to n magazine and rccclVc
a ft co copy of a book describing tho war
In Europe.
"I don't want to read about the war,"
the Mayor objected. "I only linva time
enough to attend to business. 1 was a.
peddlar mjuelf, once, though, young fcl
low ami I know what OU are up against.
"I wns thrown out of an oflico nnd down
n (light of sulrs once, when I was pedd
ling shirts. But I got up and clenched
my lists and resolved that I'd make
money and do things.
"Here, how much Is ho sttbscrlplon to
the thing? All right I tako It. Now sit,
how about it, young fellow. I said a
minute ngo: 'The hand that glvcth Is
mare blessed than tho lips that pray.' I
guess that Is straight enough."
GIFT TO GIBLS IN J.klL.
As evidence of the truth of thr quota
tion Mayor Itlddle laid down n letter ho
had Just opened. It was from two gltts
In the Mays Lauding Jail, thanking tho
Maor for bocs of candy received by
them Christmas morning.
"I guess they know tho truth of It,
too." lie remarked.
Most ot tlio piomlnent men and women
of Atlantic City who have Identllled
themselves with the Stough evnngcllsllq
campaign feel that Mnyor William Bld
dle l.s tho chief obstacle to a sweeping
success for the movement.
MAY DENOUNCE IIIDDLH.
For this reason 1th as been decided
that the Mayor must bo converted at
uny cost. Tho dally praer meetings
held In the vuilous Protestant churches
are Intended to accomplish this purpose
befoie the opening ot the revival cam
paign. If possible. If the Mayor Is openly
hostile to the religious services held by
Stougn, it Is expected that the enn
gellst will openly denounce Major
Itlddle.
It Is pointed out that in Iluzlctou, Pa.,
Evangelist Stough named four prominent
citizens as being responsible for "wide
open" conditions there. Each of the men
brought suit for 10,000 damages alleging
slander, three of the enses are still pend
ing and a small award was mado In the
fourth. The case was immediately ap
pealed, TABERNACLE SEATS COuO.

CAR "BORROWER" CAUGI1T
Betrays Himself by Snore While
Asleep in Limousine
A pair of feet and a snore in a. llmou
sine standing In the dim light In front
of 2107 Bolton street early today attracted
Policeman Weldon, of the 28th mid' Ox
ford streets station. When he prodded
the feet 'with his nightstick the sleeping
occupant leaped out, ran into the door
of tha house, out a rear window and over
the fence. It 'was very mysterious.
But everything was cleared up, the po
lice say, when George Nlckerson, 21 years
old, was arrested later and held In $100

Watson. Christmas Day he "borrowed"
the car, owned by the Baker-Price Com
