A cigar war Is threatened In Philadel

competition of the chain stores and the
American Tobacco Company, moro than
150 Philadelphia retail cigar dealers have
orgnnlied a local branch of the Liberty
Cigar Stores and the Independent Cigar
Dealers' Association of Philadelphia. Tho
full membership Is 300. A board of direc

ST0UGH AIMS TO DRAW
YOUTH FROM CABARETS
Evangelist Also After Girls and
Teachers to "Hit Saw
dust Trail"
ATLANTIC CITY, Jan. B.-To draw tho
pampered youth, here from many cities,
who mnko father's shekels My, from the
cabarets to tho tabernacle nnd make
them plow through tho sawdust, Is the
dllllcult task Evangelist Henry W.
Stough has set for himself In the cold
est, most sophisticated community ho
ever has atruck In his travels.
"I want to reacn these boys, rakes nnd
renegades, who have worried their
fathers nnd put gray hairs In their
mother's heads, nnd the girls, too, he
said. "I want to tnko them off the
Boardwalk nnd bring them down this
troll to get right with God."
Next to reaching tho "sport boys" who
flock to tho shore for n "Ming," Stough
would llko to reach In some fashion tho
teachers In schools nnd colleges, who,
he says, nro poisoning tho minds of chil
dren nnd turning them out skeptics, If
not infidels.
"God pity the teacher who tells my
girl God Is tho henrtlcss thing most of
theso educators picture Him," ho- said.
Stough Is striking hard at masculine
posers, whom ho found "strutting" tho
Boardwalk. Ho has a sharp stick also
for pastors of largo and prosperous
churches, who, ho believes, havo failed to
avail themselves of their opportunity to
enrry a militant gospel to visitors from all
over tho country.
Tho Illinois man figures that if he can
but reach the peoplo now In tho hotels
here, ho can spread the germ of evan
gelism In nearly every State from hero to
tho Paclllc Coast.
Stough read "tho riot" again to advo
cates of n "solf pedal" policy here, when
he said to businessmen:
"Don't fear for the city what you do
not fear for yourselves. You needn't fear
anyone who tries to mako Atlantic City
better, for then you will bring thousands
of persons hero who never were hero be
fore." FARLEY BOOSTED FOR POST

GRIP? HERE'S REAL AMMUNITION
TO FIGHT THE DETESTED ENEMY
Forget the Whisky and Quinine, Turn a Deaf Ear to the
Ever-Present Advice-Giver and Hearken Ye
to the Genuine Article
THE grip can be released, no matter treatment of tha grip, there are physl
how tight it has you. If you go about l clan3 of standing In the community who
It the right way,
But the trouble about the average
grip victim Is thnt he takes too much
advice. You can't lick tho grip with
adjectives or epigrams.
Then there are some who think they're
practical. They nod their head know
ingly and take quinine and whisky,
Finally they get ao that they can take
the dose without using the quinine
at all.
Most physicians agree that It's bad to
take quinine carelessly and wander out In
the cold. And then some doctors advocate
tha old-fashioned remedies, such as bath
ing your feet In mustard water after a
good hot drink.
AVe are Inclined to believe that most
tieople have grip sticking to them because
they do not do anything but argue about
It. Some say they don't want to go to
doctors just for the grip. They do not
realize that they may eventually have to
go t n undertaker. There, are still
others who think that physicians should
wander about dispensing advice for noth
ing. Lawyers don't do this, neither do
architects. Therefore, you should pay as
well as any one else unless you can get
the, advice for nothing.
While there seems to be some difference
of opinion among doctors concerning

AS ANOTHER DU PONT
TRIES TO ENTER SUIT
Ernest du Pont, Son of Francis
G., Asks to Be Included as
Complainant Against
Alexis Felix du Pont
CHANCE FOR SETTLEMENT
17 y n Staff Correspondent
WILMINGTON, Del., Jnn. B -Ernest
du Pont, of this city, today petitioned tho
United Stntes Dlstilct Court for permis
sion to become n party ptalntlrf with
Philip F. du Pont, of Morion, Pa., who
Is suing the du Pont Securities Com
pany In nn effort to have n. I. du Pont-
de Nemours & Co. stock vnlued nt more
than $50,000,000 turned over to tho latter
company.
Tho petition is tho fourth of Us kind
filed with tho court this week. The others
who havo signified their desire to Inter
vene with Philip P. du Pont nro Mrs.
Robeson Perot, of 6151 WUsnhlckon ave
nue, Philadelphia; K, Paul du Pont, of
Montchanln, Del., and Archibald SI. L.
du Pont, of this city.
All of the petitioners nro children of
tho lao Francis G. du Pont, ns Is also
Alexis Felix du Pont, one of tho Indi
vidual defendants In the suit.
Tho Intervention proceedings of Krnost
du Pont excited much comment here to
day ns he Is n trustee for the estate of
Francis G. du Pont, which Includes many
thousand shares of i ommon and pre
ferred stock In K. I. du Pont do Nemours
& Co. nnd although Ernest du Pont has
signified his wish to bo mndc a piirlv to
tho suit as nn Individual stockholder, It
Is pointed Out that ho must consider the
Interests' of tho trust Identical with his
oun.
Tho other trustees for the estate of
Francis G. du Pont nro Francis I. nnd
Alexis Felix du Pont, brothers of Ernest
du Pont. As Alexis Felix du Pont is a.
defendant in the suit, It is certain that
he will do his utmost to prevent tho
estate from becoming n party plaintiff
In the proceedings.
On tho other hand, four of tho seven
living beneficiaries of the trust have now
Individually begun Intervention proceed
ings, and great pressure can be brougltt
to bear upon tho three (rustecs should
they be nimble to ngreo that It is to tho
Interests of tho estuto to becomo a party
to tho milt.
TRUST INVOLVED.
Should this be tho enso tho beneficiaries
of the cstato arc empowered by law to
Intervene, not only ns Individual stock
holders In tho E. I. du Pont do Nemours
& Co., but nlso ns beneficiaries who bc
llovo tho trustees ot the Francis G.
du Pont cstato havo fnlled to act In the
Interests of their trust In refraining to
becomo parties to tho litigation.
rrnncls I. du Tout remains the only
unknown factor among tho living mem
bers of the Francis G. du Pont branch of
tho family. Four havo mude n dcflnlto
stand with their cousin, Philip F. du Pont,
tho original complainant. They nro: Mrs.
Robeson Porot, E. Paul. Ernest nnd Archi
bald M. L. du Pont. Tho opposition Is
represented by the tWendnnt, Alexis Felix
du Pont and Mrs. Irenes du Pont, whosu
husband is nlso an Individual defendant.
She was Miss Ireno Sophie du Pont un
til 1900, when sho married her second cou
sin, Ircneo du Pont.
Although no steps have been taken
openly to oppose tho intervention of tho
four petitioners, It Is expected that pres
sure may be brought to bear on tho In
tervening parties by tho defendants In
an effort to have the proceedings quietly
dropped.
This belief Is founded on tho general
opinion that the defendants nro moro
nnxlous over tho trend of events than
they havo cared to admit. It has also
called attention to tho fnct that should
the petitioners once become parties to tho
suit, any one of them has the legal tight
to carry tho suit to a conclusion oven
though the original complainant and nil
others Interested'deslre to drop tho litiga
tion or effect u compromise.

ALLENTOWN'S NEW
MAYOR HAS BIG TASK
Seeking to Straighten Out Tax
Tangle Left by Former
City Council
ALLENTOWN, Pa , Jan. 5 -An effort to
straighten out some tniigles left by the
city administration which went out of
olllco last Mondoy. is occupying the at
tention of A. t,. Itclclicnbnch, tile new
Mayor, who took the chief executive's
chnir after 85 irs as City Treasurer.
At tho November election tho entire old
Council was defeated. The Socialists In
that body, with the nltl of some of their
colleagues, had raised the city ufHiiomclit
from $.".0,000,000 to OO.OOO.COO. A mibl!i in
dlgnntlon meeting was held, nnd, nfter
some days, the assessment was dellntcd to
p.WO.OOO, but Is still held to he too high.
At a caucus on Thnnksglvltig ay the
Mayor nnd Councilman sent a letter to
former City Solicitor Francis G. Lewis,
tendering him tho olllce of City Assessor,
under the Clark law. creating n commis
sion form of government In thlrd-clnss
cities, at a salary of 52000, requesting him
to mako a more equltablo assessment.
They nlso offered the olllco of ;ily Treas
urer to Samuel A. Knauss. at n salary of
$1500, who accepted.
The new Council had not been In ofllce
10 minutes when legislation was introduced
to undo the assessment work of Its prede
cessors. Amending ordinances will ho
passed finally tomorrow morning. Mayor
Rclchcnbach will sign tnem at once, and
at tho same meeting Mr. Lewis will bo
elected City Assessor and Mr. Knauss
City Treasurer.
Mayor Rclchcnbach has announced that
ho will frown on the swearing out of
warrants against trivial offenders brought
beforo him In police court.
PORTRAIT OF "IMMORTAL"
PROVES TO RE FALSE
Supposed Likeness of William Whip
ple Removed From Stato House
A portrait which has hung In the main
gallery of Independence Hall for the last
20 years and was supposed to bo that of
William Whipple, of New Hampshire, one
of tho signers of tho Declaration of In
dependence, was removed yesterday nnd
probably will not be replaced. Curator
Wilfred Jordon and members of thn ad
visory board feel Kure that a mlstnko has
been made and that the portrait Is not
that ot William Whipple, but of his
brother Joseph, who was not a man of
such eminence.
Tho mlstako was discovered when Mrs.
Fanny Pickering Heff cutter, of Ports
mouth, N. 11., recently visited Inde
pendence Hnll, nnd declared that tho por
trait wns not that of her great-great-uncle,
William Whipple. She had a cop-per-plato
etching Identical with the por
trait then hanging In Independence Hall
and stated on good authority that It wns
that of her other uncle, Joseph AVhipple.
As far as tan bo learned, there Is no
portrait of William Whipple In existence.
In Trumbull's famous group of the
"Signers" Whipple's faco Is thought to
be merely nn impression.

APPOSES CENSORSHIP
Representatives of Producers
Begin Campaign Against
National Censorship Bill
ny the Photoplay Editor
The censorship of motion pictures by
a commission of five, to be appointed by
tho President of the United States, and
clothed with arbitrary power to license
or prohibit any film which, In the Judg
ment of tha commission, Is "obscene. In
decent, Immoral, or of such a character
that Its exhibition would tend to. Impair
tho health or corrupt the morals of chil
dren or adults, or Incite to crime," will
become a reality In the United States,
If House resolution No. 4M, Introduced
by Hon. Dudley M. Hughes, of Georgia,
nnd Senate bill No. Mul, Introduced by
Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia, become
laws.
This Is the third time these bills, al
most exactly alike In chnracter and
verbiage, have been beforo Congress. At
each tlmo previously they have failed of
passage.
They are backed Industriously nnd
actively by the Rev. Wilbur I Crafts,
who Is the directing head of the Inter
national Reform Uurcau, located at
Washington. This gentleman has, dur
ing tho Inst year, secured a great ninss
of alleged Indorsements for the measure
from sources scattered nil over the coun
try. The Motion PIcturo Hoard of Trado of
America Is opposed to nil kinds of cen
sorship. It believes thnt tho motion plc
turo Is one of tho thrco great mediums
through which tho human mind may ex
press Itself. Tho other two nre Bpcech
and tho press. It holds that It It Is right
and legal to subject tho motion picture
om of the most potent forms of thought
expression to prc-publlclty censorship,
then It Is equally right and Just to sub
ject the other two mediums to the same
kind of censorship. In this view It Is
being supported by a great many of the
leading publications throughout the coun
try who renllzo tho truth of tho board's
contention.
The struggle, however, hns passed out
of tho realms of academic discussion, nnd
must be met practically. Therefore tho
board of trnde, Immediately upon the im
troductlon of the bills, by telegraph nnd
letter demnnded a hearing beforo tho re
spective committees on the merits of Jhe
bill. This hearing will likely be held at
an early date.
Thomas II. Inco's prophecy thnt the
Kny-Bco studio would keep six plays
ahead of tho requirements mado by tho
Trlanglo film service has been amply ful
filled. Mr. Incc enters the new year with
an unusual list of attractions. Among
the plays now ready for presentation In
New York, or on tho way from Los
Angeles to Now York nro "Tho Green
Swamp," "Peggy." "D'Aitagnnn," "Hon
or's Altar," Hell's Hinges," "Waifs."
"The Raiders" nnd "Hulicts and Brown
Eyes."
Vivian Blackburn, who Is featured In
tho Patho-Hcnry W. Savago film produc
tion of "Excuse Me," Is tho daughter of
on army ofllcer who was stutlonej nt

knows, army circles havo a society of
their own with a strong caste feeling.
The youthful Miss Blackburn had a mind
ot her own) nnd possessing nn ardent nm
bitlon to go upon the stage, she defied con
ventions nnd cut the Gordlnn knot by
going tot New York. There sho wns for
tunate enough to secure an engagement
with May Irwin nnd stayed with her for
one season. Then followed engagements
with John Drew nnd threo seasons with
Anna Held. Sho was In the original com
