PORTER DENIES
PENROSE DEAL;
VARE REPEATS
Former Director Declares
Story of Secret Alliance
a Falsehood
"OUT OF OBSCURITY"
The lie was passed nnd then handed
back ugaln today by (Jcorgo I). Porter
and Senator Edwin II. Varo over the
chargo made by tho lntter this morning
that the former Director of Public Safety
and mayoralty caudldato of the independ
ents last fall, had entered Into u secret
political coalition with Senator James P.
McNichol.
Mr. I'ortcr Ilutly denied Senator Varc's
charges. "When the Senator says that
he knew I had made n becret alliance
with Senator McNichol ho states a de
liberate and unqualified falsehood, and
knows It," said Mr. Porter.
Ho also declared to be false Senator
Vnro's statement that Senator Penrose
and McNichol had offered him a "sot
berth."
Senutor Varo, In nnswer to Porter's
reply, lepeated the chargo thnt tho al
leged alliance hns been formed.
The MoNlchol-Portcr alliance Js well
known, and needs no further comment on
my part," ho said,
PORTER'S DENIAL.
Mr. Porter said:
Senator Vare has unwittingly per
formed for mo a signal service, After
the last election I thought I was a
"dead one," but he has succeeded In
bringing me out of obscurity, as he dla
Mayor Smith.
When the Senator says that he knew
that I had mado a secret alliance with
Senator McNichol he states a deliber
ate and unqualified falsehood, and he
knows It.
I have met Senator McNichol on
many occasions. Just as I have met
Senator Vare. I presume It is a crime
for me to even speak to the former
without a permit from the latter,
I have not now, never have had,
nor do I expect to have any alliance
of any kind with Senator McNichol
ho Is a political contractor like Vare.
and I will use in the future, as I have
in the past, my best efforts to put
them both out of business.
The" statement thatI have been of
fered a soft berth by either Mr. Pen
rose or Mr. McNichol is as true as
Senator Vare'a former statements. I
am not seeking political preferment
of any kind.
Senator Vare, In answer to a state
ment made by Senator Penrose which
brought up the Issue of "contractor
boasea." today reminded the senior Sena
tor that South Philadelphia has been
largely responsible for most of the Or
ganization victories in the last 10 years.
The alleged Porter-Peurose alliance was

However, Villa Is believed to have had

WOMAN WINS $2500
VERDICT IN LAWSUIT
AGAINST SALOON MAN
Virginia Alexander's Allegation
That Husband's Death Was
Due to Liquor Upheld
by Jury
APPEAL DEEMED LIKELY
A verdict for $2500 for Mrs, Virginia
Alexnndcr, In her suit ngnlnst Jacob
Bosch, a saloonkeeper, of 1S21 North 27th
street, to recover damages for tho death
of her husband which wns due, she al
leged, to his condition resulting from
liquor sold him by tho defendant, was
brought by a Jury this morning.
The Jury agreed on a verdict last night,
and placed it in a sealed envelope to bo
opened today. The case was tried before
Judge PaMerson In Common Pleas Court
No. 1.
The verdict for damages was brought
despite tho denial of Bosch that ho had
been warned by the woman not to sell
liquor to her husband.
The erdlct caused a great surprise In
legal circles, and. If sustained, is ex
pected to have a great effect on the con
duct of saloons, not only In this city hut
throughout the State.
It will mean that a saloonkeeper Is
responsible if he sells a man so much
liquor that his health becomes ruined
and death results. Alexander's death fol
lowed two years of debauchery and Im
mediately following an overdose of al
cohol, after recovery from which he was
again brought home drunk, dying ap
proximately a month later.
The act of IS31, making It unlawful for
a saloonkeeper to sell liquor to persons
known to be of Intemperate habits, was
made the basis of the suit. The act pro
vides that wr.ere death cr Injury results
to victims ot the drink habit, the saloon
keeper can be held liable for damages.
The Brooks high license was also cited,
and Judge Patterson charged, sustain
ing the contention of Mrs. Alexander's
lawyer, that If the Jury was convinced
that the death of Alexander was directly
due to excessive drinking In Bosch's
saloon they could Hnd a verdict for the
Plaintiff.
In the suit Mrs. Alexander alleged that
her husband, Adam S. Alexander, had
died from excessive use of alcoholic stim
ulants and that he had been a regular
patron of Bosch's saloon.
Bosch not only denied that he had been
warned not to sell intoxicants to Alex
ander, but said that Mrs. Alexander often
came to the saloon with her husband and
drank with him.
Bosch admitted that Mrs. Alexander
had once told a bartender not to servo
her husband, but that shortly after that
she came to the saloon herself to get a
pitcher of beer and that when the bar
tender commented on this the said It was
all right to sell her husband if he wanted
to drink.
Mrs. Alexander testified that her hus
band had mortgaged his house for i?10O
and spent the money in Bosch's saloon.
Physicians testified that Alexander's 11 f 9
bad been shortened trum 10 to 20 years
by alcoholic excesses.
