West Plillnilelphlnns tlirongcd the Li
cense Court today to protest niriilnst four
applications for tho transfer of saloon
licenses from other sections of the city
to their section. One of tho applications
was for a transfer of n license from n,
business section of West Philadelphia to
a more or less residential section, but nil
were fought with cqiml vehemence.
The cases before Jutlnes I'nttorsou and
IStanke wcro tho double transfer of
Thomas J. Lynch, 3S17 Mnrkct street,
to Jntnoa J. Hughes, tho latter wishing
to transfer tho license from Mmkct street
to southwest corner COth street nud I.nns
downo avenue, and AiiReto I.clmnn, north

southwest corner 57th nnd ltaco streets;

t which, however, ho withdrew.

i Tho first of tho West Philadelphia np
i plications called was that for the corner
! of 60th and Lansdowno nvenue. Hughes
Nsald that unless the court allowed him to
i'take the license from 3S17 Market street
I I to tho West Philadelphia address, lie did
i Jtiot wish to have tho llccnso transferred
j 1 to himself from Its present holder, Lynch,
i ' Hughes admitted that ho applied for a
. llccnso at 60th street and Lansdowno
avenuo and was refused no less than five
' times, and on four additional occasions
' other persons applied for the corner nnd
also were "turned down" by the court,
Tho present court, since March, 1D15,
'. has rejected threo applications for this
site. '
Judgo Staakc ruled that Hughes must
show that there has been a chtuigo of
condition In the West Philadelphia neigh
borhood since the last refusal, and must
show that there was now a "necessity"
for tho proposed saloon. D. Clarence Gib.
boney, of the Law nnd Order Society, rep.
resented church congregations and real
dents who objected to all tho West Phlla
delphla applications and ho called n score
of witnesses to testify that a saloon at
60th street and Lansdowno avenue was
not a "necessity."
FREQUKNTER RECOGNIZED.
Harry C. Dennis, C002 Lansdowno ave
nue, which Is next door to the proposed
aaloon, was recognized as ii frequent wit
ness In tho Llccnso Court. Ho said ho
had appeared In court no less than nlno
tlmo In objecting to. a saloon next to his
home. He said Hughes was mistaken In
Saying that the locality was a business
neighborhood and also asserted that thoro
were enough saloons In tho vicinity to
supply any "necessity."
Clergymen and householders, who ap
peared as remonstrants against former
applicants for tho site, said there was no
cnange in condition from the tlmo tho
court refused tho other petitions for
transfers.
Mr. Glbboney argued against Hughes'
application on tho ground that tho appli
cant was trying to get tho transfer In an
Indirect manner after It had been refused
directly on former occasions.
Judges Staako and Tattorson Mnnlly
took Hughes' application under considera

BLESSING OF THROATS
DRAWS THOUSANDS OF
CATHOLICS TO ALTARS
Record-Breaking Observance of
Feast of St. Blaise in
Churches in All Parts
of City
MANY SUFFERERS THERE
Never before has tho feast nf St. Malso
been observed by so many Catholics In
tills city ns It was today. Tho blessing
of throats, which Is the most dlstlnctlvo
feature of tho day. brought a throng of
believers to tho altar rail of the Church
of St. John tho Evangelist, lath street,
above Chestnut. As sonn as those who
knelt In the long llnp upon tho tnarblo
step crossed themselves and loft It, others
took their places.
At the lunch hour this lino of -10 or r.O
kneeling figures was continually kept In
tact. The priest, passing from one end to
tho other with the candles, blessing each
supplicant In turn, was thus engaged for
the greater part of tho day, there being
nt times two priests so engaged.
MARTYRDOM OK ST. IJLAISE.
fit. Ulalsc suffered martyrdom In tho
year .tl(i. As ho was led to trlnl ho was
approached by a woman carrying her
child, who wns choking from a bono In the
throat. Tho Snlnt touched the child's
thront and prayed for her relief and sho
was cured. Then ho proceeded to his
trial, after which ho suffered.
That was Just 1(100 years ago. Thoso
who prayed today to partake of so great
a faith were men, women nnd children
a great many of them children, for In tho
parochial schools the pupils received the
blessing. St. John's was tho most crowded
of all tho churches, because of Its central
location, hundreds of young girls coming
from their work at the lunch hour. Press
ing themselves with holy water, they pro
ceeded to the railing and knelt In prajvr.
The two lighted candles, clasped together
with a metal band and bent at their un
lighted ends to form a projecting fork,
soon approached them, brought from one
to another in tho hnnds of the priest.
He held tho candles closo to tho eyes,
touching each bent unllghted end to each
side of tho throat of the person kneeling.
As they closed their eyes In the strong
light of tho cnndles, ho murmured the
saint's Invocation, made a sign with hl3
finger, and passed on. After n pause the
supplicant arose.
Hut many of them did not lenvo the
church at once. They returned to their
plnces In tho church and prayed, for
there havo been many sick with colds,
following tho recent epidemic of grip.
The church resounded with tho coughlngs
of tho many to ylioin relief would come
as no small blessing. It was said to be
perhaps duo to this wido-snrend Illness
from throat troubles that the day of St.
Blnlso as so much moro observed than
In former years. Tonight many working
people, who could not r o to church dur
ing tho day, nro expected to throng tho
various churches.

TWO AUTO FIRMS
NOW IN FIGHT ON
HYPHEN IN CITY
Vim Motortruck and Biddle

nies Lead in War
DECLARE BAN ON ALIENS
Two prominent nutomobllo manufactur
ing concerns of this city have taken tho
lead In a patriotic movement to declare
wnr on hyphenated Americanism In Phila
delphia nlonff the lines siiRfrested by tho
Packard Motor Car Company of Detroit.
I'lidcr tho plan unnaturalized Americans
will havo practically no chance for ad
vancement whllo In the employ of these
concerns.
Tho Philadelphia manufacturers who
have undertaken to promoto tho move
ment are:
Till: VIM iktOTOtt THPOK COMPANY, with
Hunts nt llro.nl nnd IlmiUnn.lon Btrrrto, 20th
ft root and Montgomery alcnuo, and In North
Wnlos.
nit: litnnt.n motoh run company, cr-
mnntown nnd AllcBhcny avenues.
Tho Vim Motortruck Compnny was tho
first to mnko a stand nKnlnst hyphenated
Americans In Philadelphia. Harold II,
Lnrzelcre, vice president nnd uoliernl
manager of tho company, today Issued a
statement nssertlnt? that yesterday the
concern took drastic action nRolnst un
naturalized Amcrlcnns In Its employ.
Shortly before noon today Arthur M.
Mnris, president of the Illddlo Motorcar
Company, Gcrmanlown nnd AHofihony
avenues, nnnounced that he had com
mitted that organization to the Idea and
had posted notices that unnaturalized
citizens could not bo promoted and that
American olleRlanco wns necessary to
win any considerable success with his
company.
In his appeal for other Philadelphia
manufacturers to Rot Into line nKnlnst the
hyphen, Mr. Larzelere asserted that tho
iltuntlnn is serious and that tho business
men of this nation must take action If
Ihey hope to escnpe disaster. Ho de
clared that tho hyphens are backing a
propaganda, of treason In t(ils country
nnd that manufacturers and business men
must do their share toward stamping out
the evil. ChnracterlzliiK the hyphens as
vultures and parasites, Mr. Larzelcro as
serted that they should be driven from
the country If they could not be made
to respect American Institutions and
Ideals.
WHAT MR. LAR55ELERK SAYS.
Mr. Larzclero's statement follows:
"It Is apparent that the Institutions of
this country nro bchiK threatened by a
spirit of dlsloynlty which has been termed
hyphenated Amcrlcanshlp.
"it is high tlmo that tlic business men
of this country and other true Americans
Bet toRcthcr nnd do their shuro toward
eliminating this spirit of disloyalty
which has been cropping up In every part
of the United States.
"Every day wo read how aliens have
sneered and made lifciit of our public In
stitutions and how they have tried to
besmirch the lofty Ideals established by
tho founders of tills republic.
"The situation Is serious, and if true
Americans of this country hope to safo
RUard tho nation they must do somethliiK.
Thoso aliens come to our shores seckhiR
self-Improvement nnd liberty. Mnny of
them aro In tho confidence of the heads
of our factories and othor Institutions;
tlicso men are paid IiIkIi salaries; they
havo received every attention, have been
welcomed with tho hospitality for which
America is noted, nnd they have been
benefited ty the ndvnntages offered by
the Unllcc 3tntcs.
"ABUSED OUR HOSPITALITY."
"Wo feel that they havo abused our
hospltnllty, that they have cast Into tho
dust somo of our most sacred Ideals It
must stop. There Is no reason why tho
Rood thliiRsof this republic should not
ho turned over to the true American tho
man who thinks enough of this country
to becomo naturalized and tako his stand
for the Stars and Stripes without resard
to tradition nnd affiliation which ho may
havo loft behind across tho ocean.
"To slvo naturalized Americans tho full
hcnollt of this country to tho oxcluslon
of tho hyphenated we bellcvo will result
Iu stamping out tho treason which is
broadcast In tho Innd.
"Great masses of tlicso aliens nro de
pendent upon tho manufacturing plants
for their bread; these plants are under
tho protection of tho Stars and Stripes.
An Insult to our ling, a cowardly attack
on this Government, la i njrect assault
on tho Bnfety of the manufacturing and
business enterprises of this country.

spirit of loyalty to tho nation. It Is not
only good patriotism but good business
to do this. Why should wo or any other
plant give sustenance to men who arc en
gnged In plotting against the foundations
of this Republic? We should not encour
ago these men unless wo nro looking for
nnarahy and governmental ehnos.
"Many of theso hyphens nro human vul
lures; they care nothing lor Ameilcn;
they aro looking for the dollars and cents.
"It Is flttlnrr that Philadelphia, tho
birthplace of tho nation the plaeo where
nil tho best of our Idcnls wore brought
Into substance should lake the lead of
tho American cities In tho East in this
protest wrftliiKt hyphenated Americanism.
Every Philadelphia manufacturer who
has nil ounro of loynlty nnd lovo of coun
try should follow the Vim company In
this action. They tannot afford to pro
crnstlnnto In this matter."
Thc'plnnts of tho Vim compnny ere
situated nt Uroad and Huntingdon streets.
Mth street nnd Montgomery nvenue and
In Ntirtn Walts.
The action of tho Vim Company in
Initiating wnr ngnlnst the hypen In
Philadelphia Is particularly Important,
for tho concern Is constructing a big plant
nt 23d and Market streets, and In a few
weeks will employ IW0 additional men.
It Is likely that no foreign-born pctsons
will bo able to obtain employment hi
the new plant unless they can show
naturalization pnpers or nit earnest dis
position to file such documents.
REJECTED 1110 WAR ORDER.
Tho Vim Compnny makes trucks ex
clusively for domestic trade, nnd only re
cently turned down big war orders for
moro than 7000 motortrucks. Mr. Lnrzclero
said today that tho domestic trado of
tho compnny Is so grent that It has no
tlmo to devote to "war brides."
Tho action of the Vim Company In
being the first Philadelphia concern to
adopt tho Packard antl-liypeii plan, today
created Intense Interest among business
men nnd manufacturers of this city. It
wns freely predicted that within 21 hours
other big concerns would Join In the war
Against hypenntcd Americanism, A wave
of uneasiness is today sweeping over un
naturalized employes In factories In this
city, and it Is expected that the result
will ho a rush for naturalization papers.
Many unnaturalized pcrsjms hold Jobs
nt good waRcs In Philadelphia and there
was a feeling among them today that
their chances of advancement were being
Jeopardized by their failure to takes lin
medlato steps toward becoming citizens
of tho Vliited States.
Mr. Marls, of tho Riddle Motor Car
Company, sugested holding a conven
tion of Philadelphia manufacturers to
work nut some plan of making the
thousands of aliens in this city become
citizens. Ho explained his position nfter
signing nnd causing to bo posted nil over
the plant notices which told the un
naturalized citizens Hint they, would hnvo
to become American citizens if they
wanted to umount' to anything In his
employ.
TO REVIVE PATRIOTISM.
Discussing his order, ho said:
"Patriotism In tho United States Is nt
a very low ebb at this time. A great deal
of disrespect Is being shown our flag,
our institutions and our Ideals. We have
to do something nbotit this right nway.
"It Is up to true Americans to get to
gether In this mutter of eliminating the
hyphen. The Integral parts of this coun
try have to be welded together or we will
face national disaster.
"1 am willing to co-operate In a move
ment with all the Philadelphia manufac
turers fi) eliminate absolutely the hyphen
from tho birthplace of the nation. It
might be a good plan for tho Philadelphia
manufacturers to meet iu convention and
tako some concerted action toward forcing
the thousands of aliens In this city Into
cltzeushlp."
Olllcials of tho Link-Rcit Company aro
considering the adoption of tho Packard
nutl-hyphen plan. S, 11. Peck, vice presi
dent of tho company, said today:
"I Indiirso tho action of thu Packard
Motor Car Company. Those who live iu
this country and make their living here
should think enough nf the land ofltfeclr
adoption to become loyal AmericavieSI
zens. I do not bnllovo In n dlvldeuNfly
ally. Our' hospitality has been abused
by many of these aliens. Many who havo
not been actually disloyal to our Institu
tions havo placed themselves under sus
picion by falling to como out ngalnst tho
aggressions of their countrymen. Tho
Link-Belt Company Is 111 sympathy with
tho movement etnrted by the Packard
Company, and wo believe that the question
of adopting It ourselves Is worthy of con
sideration." INTRODUCTION

STATE ABANDONS CASE
AGAINST JAKE GUMAN
Commonwealth Forced to Ad
mit Weakness of Testimony
in Suit
The Commonwealth this afternoon
abandoned the ense against Jake (lllmnn,
former constable attached to Magistrate
Call's office, who wns accused of con
spiracy nnd subornation of perjury In
fraudulent ball rases. This action wns
taken before Judge McMlchael In Quarter
Sessions Court because of tho Inability
of the .Commonwealth to produce more
evidence thnn wns presented at Oilman's
llrst trial.
The bills of Indictment were submitted
to a Jury for a verdict of not guilty.
At his first trial Oilman was convicted
on the charges named, hut was subse
quently granted a new trial on tho
ground that the evidence wns not sulll
clent to sustnln the verdict.
An Indictment charging Wnltcr Curry,
the Commonwealth's principal witness In
Its prosecution of Kdward Ilernsteiu, toy
Mpkln and Adolph Koch, now serving sen
tences for fraudulent bnil offenses, wns
nlso submitted for a verdict of not guilty.
Assistant District Attorney Mnurcr said
the Commonwealth was witling to drop the
charges ngalnst Curry for tho service ho
rendered In tho Uernsteln nrrest.
(Hitman was convicted before Judge
Flnlcttcr mi December II. He wns accused
of conspiring with the three mentioned In
ibtnlning fraudulent ball.
Uernsteln, the principal witness ngalnst
Oilman when the then assistant district
attorney, lingers, wns preparing hl;i case,
so changed bis testlmuny In court that
there wns grave doubt in Judge l'lnlet
ter's mind whether the Commonwealth
bad made out a case against Oilman. He,
however, refused the application of Sen
ntor Samuel Sattis, the defendant's coun
sel, to hnvo the hills submitted, nnd
nfter n long deliberation tho Jury re
turned a verdict of guilty. The testimony
of Koch nnd Llpkln wns ruled out, ns
they hud been sentenced on charges of
perjury.

Later on
There won't be
any
better time
to get one
of these
Perry
Overcoats!
$13.00
and
$18.00
for our own Perry
Tailored coats that ivera
$15, $18, $20, $25,
brand new and up to the
minute this season!
QThese reduced
prices will last only
until next Saturday,
closing time!
C The reason is we
don't flirt with figures.
Our regular prices are
rock bottom, net, close to
the bone, and a cut can't
go very deep without
scratching the cost! But
the consolation is that
you know what you're
buying, and you're sure
that the saving is real!
C These prices are going
to go up instead of
down, the coats are
going out instead of com
ing in, and the time-limit
is Saturday! So, do it
nowl
