BIG JANUARY RUSH
TO SHORE A FLIGHT
' FROM 'GENERAL GRIP
Cause of Philadelphia's Exodus
Found in Failure of That
Grim Enemy to Attack
Atlantic City
BOARDWALK IMMUNE
ATLANTIC CITY, Jntl. 31. - Philadel
phia society's exodus to the seashore, fill
ing tho Hoardwnlk hotels ns they were
never before crowded In January and
causing New Yorkers, who always havo
had the pick of accommodations at this
time, to take what they can got, has been
explained.
It Isn't a sequence of "war order" pros
perity nt all, although that, undoubtedly,
Is an Important contributing factor. Soci
ety Is simply (lying from old General Grip,
who plays no favorites. Ho would Just
ns soon redden tho nose and keep tears In
the eyes of a debutante or her fashion
able mother as to make llfo miserable
for any plebeian. Hence the hcglra to tho
Doardwalk, where tho prevailing com
plaint Is almost a completo stranger. It
was all delightfully simple, after a ma
tron noted for her elaborato entertain'
ments lovealed tho truth today,
Ilonlfaces received the news philosophic
ally. They knew there was some good
reason, but were riulte willing to forego
an explanation. What concern:! thorn
primarily Is that Phllndelphlann have mill
ed January to the big months, of tho year
by coming shoreward Instead of going
'South, petting forward the early spring
styles and giving the season an Impetus
that Is going to mako the pro-Raster era
a record-breaker.
Unfavorable weather, which kept the
greater part of Hie 1iotel colony Indoors
yesterday, forced a postpouement of a
millinery spectacle on the Doardwalk, but
vouchsafed a scries of more or less Im
posing displays nf the mode with fashion
able matrons nntl their daughters down
to the (tappers showing morning dresses,
afternoon frocks and evening toilettes In
their order. It Is at this season of the
year that tho blgl caravansaries are par
ticularly notnble for oxmiislto costuming
after the dinner hour.
It was a rurloti coincidence that sent
Secretary of War l.lndloy M. Garrison and
Charles F. Murphy, of Tammany Hall,
representatives of two widely divergent
branches nf Democracy, to tho Marlbor-ough-nicnhclm
on tho samo day. Mr.
Garrison Is hero for rest, nnd the Tam
many chieftain likewise. I5oth golf, and
they may meet and talk over Wilson pros

Governor Ilrumbaiigh and the new lady
of tho Executive Mansion nt Harrlsburg
went undelivered last night for the rea

SILENT SHOT, LIKE HISS
OF EVIL ONE, PUZZLES
CHEMIST AND OFFICIAL
Albany Murder and Attacks by
Gunmen Alarm Police With
Thought of What Limits
Crime May Reach
FORMULA NOT SOLVED
Lvery time the pood scientists Invent
something useful and uplifting the bad
scientists try to Invent something eickrd
to offset It.
Good men Invented battleships irllh
plates that a projectile cannot pierce, to
defend thler countries, ami then bad men
invented projectiles that can iilerre thr
unplr.rccablc.
Good men Invent revolvers to restrain
thlovcs and murderers and make an honest
noise while doing so, and thievrs and
murderers conic back etlh noiseless rr
volvcrs so they can commit their crimes
unobserved.
This Is the composite opinion of many
learned men upon the news from Albany,
N. Y., that a "silent gunman" had shot
down four persons, the shots making no
moro sound than a slight hiss. That hiss
sent a thrill of apprehension through the
Detective Uurenu today. It also Interest
ed chemists nnd students of the drama.
Tho latter were Interested because tho
Albany crlmo baa brought to p.iss In
actual life tho prophetic dream of Haynrd
Vollicr In his popular piny, "Within the
Law," which came out three yearn ago,
and has been running ever since.
"WITHIN TI1K LAW."
, Irt this play a murder Is committed on
the stage with a noiseless revolver. The
gang of burglars bnter a house nnd mid
denly realize that one of their number
is n traitor and has notified the police.
Drawing Ills noiseless revolver the chief
of' tho gang shoots him dead. The mur
der had a peculiarly sinister effect; tho
silent .bullet seemed to speed, propelled
only by the bitter wind nf hatred; it was
like a brenth from the mouth of the
Kvll One; while there la a childish candor
nbotit the b.ing of an old-fashioned cart
ridge which lends to alleviate the ugli
ness of the effect.
The detectives wero even more inter
ested. "This beats tho dlctophono and
the dictograph," quoth one. In tltat, bo
meant that t'rlmo tended to Invent a new
aggressive device In reply to every de
fensive device that Law Invents. Law had
made an enormous Inroad Into Crime's
territory by inventing (he instruments
that betray to the ears of detectives the
whispered plottlngs of crooks. Now, after
two or three years' thought, Crime has
replied with the noiseless revolver.
KOHMl'I.A A VV7.7.UIS.
That the assertion of Albany investi
gators that only one concern In the world
has tho secret of the silent explosive Is
true seems to be homo out In tho opinion
of chemists here.
Dr. Harry K. Keller, principal of the
Germantnwn High School, and a noted
chemist, said that tho explosive as de
scribed "a heavily oomprcsHed fulminate
nnd quicksilver" would not bo noiseless.
Fulminate being used in Fourth of July
torpedoes, It would not seem that that was
noiseless, ho said. Quicksilver has been
used In the explosives, he said, but be had
not heard of any method of combining it
that would mako tho fulminate soundless.
Yet this Is the" story told by KiUvnrd
('.. Kenny, one of tho four persons shot
down by tho mysterious gunman:
"Tho gunman was only a few feet away
from me when lie shot. I heard a hiss and
then received n blow that mado mo think
some one bad slapped mo on the back with
a newspaper. I kept ronsciousiuss an 1
fell In the darkness and after I foil, so
that if there had been a leport I would
have heard It."
John Mct.'ormlck. another victim, tells
tho samo story or tho hissing sound.
These two men and Mrs. John McKeown.
who Is 70 years old, will recover, but the
fourth victim Jamen Irvln, died today.
Tho bullets used weru so small that they
would not plcrco a heavy overcoat at a
distance of in fed were the ordinary
powder used as the propelling force. Hut
tho strange chemical compound is said to
havo three tlme3 tho driving forco of
powder.
A Xow England munitions plant has
been experimenting for six months with
noiseless explosives and the namo of tho
firm Is said to bo known to tho Albany
police A quiet Investigation is under way,
not to stop tho manufacture of the ex
plosive, hut to learn why it should havo
lirst had public demonstration in tho hands
nf a criminal. It would bn a valuable
Oovcrnment military secret, It was gen
erally agreed, if tho (lover nment could

GIRLS MAY STRIKE AGAIN
Failure of Both Sides to' Agree on
Wngo Question Makes Garment
Situation Serious
Another garment strike like that of two
weeks ago is probable today, according to
IlenJauiln Schlcslnecr. representative of
tho garment workers.
It Is reported that Leo llecker. presi
dent of tho mar.ufacturcrs' association,
has resigned on account of disgust at
what was to bo a harmony meeting jes
terday at tho Continental Hotel.
This was tho day the arbitration board,
consisting of Judge Patterson, Mayor
Smith and Director Wilson, set to heur
tho report of the Wago Commltteo' ap
pointed by the arbitration board. Tho
manufacturers thought that the olllces of
this board could bo avoided by a mutual
understanding. So they met yesterday,
but got nowhere, nnd the report has it
that Decker was so incensed that he
quit. Ho was asked today whether ho
had resigned nnd answered:
"I will neither alllrm nor deny tho re-
Th'o Wage Commltteo only had two
members, for It was not possible to agree
on a third "neutral member."
Tho two members, Morris Flelschmarr
for the manufacturers and Mlsa Julia
Poyntz for tho workers, havo arrived at
widely different conclusions. Flelsch
man's report asserts that the workers ara
making a sulllcicnt wage; Miss Poyntz
has figures to show that the average
weekly wage was i.ou.
Schleslnger said today:
"I will not bo responsible for tho action
h workers may take If the board's de
cision on tho wago question Is not satis
factory." Tho girls who were on strike
are said to bo In favor oratrlklng again
if they don't get the 15 per cent. Increase.

BRIGGS, CREATOR OF LAUGHTER,
LIVES IN HOUSE OF ROMANCE
Evening Ledger Cartoonist's Home a Land-Schooner,
Built of Remains of Water-logged Vessel There
He Goes "When a Feller Needs a Friend"
Brlggs, tho cartoonist, lives In a land
schooner. Tho creator of "Pklnnay" nnd
his friends, of "Kelly Pool" and "Some
Ono Is Always Taking tho Joy Out of
Life" nnd tho other series of clever
sketches that appear In tho Kvf.nikci
I.KDiiKtt has the strangest and most In
teresting house In New Itochello. Tho
pathos behind his pictures of boy life In
the Inst year while tho house was being
built has been that Mr. Hrlggs has him
self been the "feller" that "needs a
friend," because his wife and his archi
tect, Ilnrry Morse, have always had their
way about tho building details.
It seems Hint a schooner, nt lenst a
century old (though some say two or
thrco centuries), was wrecked on u bar
on tho Jersey shore. Mr. Urlggs got a
nalvnge ilrm In Perth Amboy to transport
the ship timber and most of the other
lemalns of the water-logged vessel to N'cw
Itochclle, nnd this material was used in
making thu house, the only one of Its
kind. For the half-Inch cracks In the
ossllled timber, the holes and other Ir
regularities are a constant source of Joy
in those who lore old things for tho sako
of their age.
The bouse Is surrounded by a stone
wall, Imbedded In which nro pnrts of tho

Tire conveying of the ship Umbers from

penters were engaged for many weeks on
the task. Filtering the courtyard ono

vice to open the (Oil-pound door without
disturbing the driver of tho machine. A
slight tug at tha end of the chain con
tinuing the door, as the chain dangles
beside the driver's seat, opens tho door
wide.
As the door swings bark the garage
lights autninatlrnlly aro turned on. Twenty-two
seconds nfter the door opens,
it locks ngaln, that time being allowed
for Mr. HrlSHH to get out or the nuto
anil leave tho garage, and as the lock
sets the house door opens; the first foot

Tsfcr
is an Error of
AH Player-Pianos "Pianolas"
THE word "Pianola" is a trade-mark the name of one special
instrument, made only by the Aeolian Company. "The Pianola
is in many fundamental respects radically different from any
other player-piano ever made.
When you call all player-pianos "Pianolas," you work an in
justice to the reputation and prestige of this greatest of instruments,
but you do an even greater injury to the possible purchaser of a Pianola.
For all player-pianos are not Pianolas. Only this one instrument
has the high standing, the flexibility and the musical power of the
player-piano you would wish to buy. And when you buy a weak
imitation of the Pianola and expect to receive the same value, the same
pleasure and the same music, you sentence yourself to certain regret
and disappointment.
The Facts of Pianola Supremacy
The superiorities which put the Pianola above every other player-'
piano in ability to render music are definite, tangible and easily
appreciated. They are inventions effected by years of study and are
fully protected by many patents.
The Mctrostyle a wonderfully intelligent and simple guide for the correct interpre
tation of music placed the Pianola ahead of all others years ago. No other player
piano can imitate this device.
The Themodist accentuates the leading notes of the melody as desired.
The Sustaining Pedal Device adds a mature and delightful fullness to the music
which pianists must study years to acquire.
These three features alone make the Pianola a better instrument than any other
player-piano.
We Are Philadelphia Representatives
The Pianola line includes the finest pianos in the world at their respective prices.
They cover the entire range of prices, and meet the most moderate or the most
discriminating demands.
The genuine Pianola is on exhibition and sale at our stores as follows:
The Steinway Pianola
The Wheelock Pianola The Stroud Pianola
The Famous Weber Pianola
The Prices are from $550, Moderate

BLINDNESS HALTS
BRUSH OF ARTIST
Mrs. E. M. Gardner Completes
One Thousandth Picture of
Cat as Eyesight foils
Dllntlness, the same affliction which pro
hibited the hero of Kipling's "The Light
Thnt Failed" from completing hi mt
terplcce, is preventing Mrs. 13. M. Gard
ner, noted animal artist, of Pitman, U. JH
from painting her 1001st cat.
Hut, unlike Kipling's hero, who sought
solace from his despair In drink ahd tn
excitement of the batttefront, Mrs. Oard
ncr has accepted her misfortunes re-"
slgncdly nnd Is grateful she finished her
loooth picture of a feline before her eye
sight failed.
She feels that her work has been well
t"one, and finds happiness and content
ment In reflecting that her pictures ol
eats will bring Joy and happiness to thou
sands long after she Is dead. The skilful
product of her brush has gone to alt
purls of the world. In art gallerlea rind
exclusive salons In this country and Eu
rope her tabbies and tomcats have de
lighted thousands. They are bo lifelike
thnt they can almost bo expected 6 lea.r
from tho frame and purr and stretch
nfter the manner of all lazy and cqn
tenled cats.
Mrs. Gardner's painting of her one
thousandth cat a race with hep railing
eyesight. All of tho Intensity of her love
and appreciation of felines was placed
In her effort on this last picture, nnd art
lovers say It is her masterpiece. A the
light grow dimmer faster and faster1 flew
Mrs. Gardner's brush over tho thick
black velvet which served as her can
vas. So afraid was she that the mid
night of total blindness would suddenly
shut out her falling vision that she
painted until Into at night under on In
tense artificial light.
Mrs. Gardner's vision had Indeed en
tered the twilight zone when the picture
was finished. She dropped her brush
with a grateful sigh. Hho knew It whb
her best work, although her sight was
now so dim that the outlines of the pic
ture were barely visible to her.
"Oh, you beautiful cat," she murmured,
"l thank the Almighty that he allowed
mo to llnlsh you,"
Tlx, n bcnutlful Angora, which sev
eral years ago resided nt Green's Hotel,
was the most famous cat Mrs. aardner
over painted. Tlx was valued -yu '50.000.
