ble that tho sister, who, It Is iiild, was
temporarily deranncd, wandered away
from tho Institution nnd remained some
whero In seclusion. It Is supposed that
she may have been taken In by some one
who kept her In the hope that she would
recover nnd return quietly to tho Insti

TUMULT IN HOUSE
OVER PREPAREDNESS
Continued from Tone One
poky way we havo been going on with
our battleship building?"
Representative Butler explained that six
months or a year aro spent In drawing
nianti for evorv battleship authorized.
"What Is the best battleship wo havo
today?" the Speaker asked.
Itcprescntatlve Butler mentioned tho
new dreadnought California. An argu
ment followed and the Speaker inter
rupted with:
"If wo could find out what is the best,
this House could pass a resolution saying
that all others should be like that and we
could save that six months now spent on
plans."
Representative Butler suggested that it
might be necessary to make changes to
meet Improvements, and mentioned thnt
Ciermany and Kngland are now mounting
17-Inch guns on their battleships.
"Then We'll put 17-Inch guns on ours."
declared the Speaker emphatically. "We
ought to get the biggest guns that can
lie carried and put them on the beat
battleships that can be built."
A cheer swept tno i louse as me npeaKcr
announced his preparedness creed, and the
tumult of debate continued.
"UNCLK JOK'S" CRITICISM.
Ux-Spcaker Cannon took a fling at
President Wilson and said If tho Prcsl.
dent's declarations that an emergency
exists aro true, no expenso should be
spared to rush war preparations.
Mr. Fitzgerald, of New York, asked If
Cannon was criticising the President as
(.hamming an emergency.
"What the Immediate need Is. Is a riues
tlon In tho minds of many men." Cannon
replied. "I liopo I am not guilty ot leso
majcate In Inquiring."
"Uncle Joe" Bald thcro was no necessity
of waiting five years. "I stand ready, he
declared, "to vote for as many ships as
we need and as big an army as we need,
but we want It now. And I'll do my part
fn voting to raise the necessary revenue,
even If we havo to borrow the money. If
the President Is right, the need exists to
day for preparation and not five years
from now."
Hepresentatlve Stevens, of California,
said he was for a much bigger navy and
a much bigger army, and wanted to know
what the committee Intended to do
about. It.
"The Naval Affairs Committee will re.
port a bill to the House which will ad
dress itself to the Intelligent, patriotic
people of the country," Chairman Pad
gett said. "If the House wishes to en
large or lessen Its provisions It will have
Its chance then.-"'
The outburst was precipitated by tho
Naval Committee, which brought In pre
liminary preparedness bltU, one appro
priating IIOO.WM for pew ways at the New
York Navy Yard and J5CO.O00 for new
ways at Mare Island to facilitate battle
ship construction, and another proposing
to increase the quota of Annapolis cadets.

TRAIL HITTERS BLAMED

Thousands Tried to Serve Pen

Same Time, Preachers
Hear
BOOZE ADS ASSAILED
Thousands of trail hitters at the "Hilly"
Sunday meetings tried to serve Penrose
nnd Christianity at tho same time at
the last election, nnd the result was tho
most Ineffective temperance vote In the
city's history, according to tho Itev.
Charles K. Sclmeffer In nn address on
"Modern Kvungollsm" today before the
Ministerial Association of tho Ilcformed
Church.
Mr. Schaeffer is superintendent of the
Homo Missionary Board of the Reformed
Church. .
"It Is a shameful thing, but true," said
Mr. Schneftcr, "that many of the so
called Christian people who hit the trail
and apparently accepted Christianity at
the "Billy" Sunday meetings, tried to
servo "Billy" Sunday and Penrose at tho
same time at the last election.
"The result was a discouraging showing
in the temperance vote It wan the worst
bhowing In the city's history. These trnll
hlttcrs should have at least been honest.
"But the blame does not He altogether
with them. The persons here who ar
ranged the 'Billy' Sunday revival should
havo perfected an organization that could
have looked out after the trall-hlttcrs
after the revival and kept them whipped
Into line."
The association adopted resolutions
commending the Public LBDaen for Us
action In excluding liquor advertisements
from Its columns. It was resolved to ad
vise members ot the congregations of tho
Reformed Church to patronize newspa
pers which exclude rum advertisements.

KANE AND LEDERER SAY
'DOPE' EVIL SHOWS NO
GROWTH IN THIS CITY
Federal Oflicials Deny Director
Krusen's Allegation of
Alarming Increase
Here
PRAISE HARRISON ACT
UmphCSj- donlals of tho statem. &a
mado by Director Krusen. of tho Depart
ment of Public Health and Charities, that
the Harrison nnti-narcotlc act, which alms
to reduce the Illegal tiso of drug3 has not
accomplished Its purpose In Philadelphia,
were made today by United Stntea Attor
ney Francis Fisher Kane, Collector of
Internal Revenue Ledcrer nnd other Gov
ernment ofTlclnls who have been Instru
mental In the enforcement of tho law.
Kxccption nlso wns taken to Director
Krusen's statement: "There aro moro vic
tims of the 'dope' habit In Philadelphia at
present than before the passage of tho
act," and that "even drug users are said
to admit that narcotics are moro easily
obtainablo now than before."
"If Director Krusen has not been mis
quoted." Mr. Kane said. "I feel sure that
bo Is mistaken. In regard to his state-
ment of the prevalence of narcotics. I
firmly believe that milto tho contrary Is
true. I do not say that tlie Harrison anu
narcotlc act has stamped out tho evil, hut
unquestionably It has done a great ileal
of good."
Mr. Kane explained that tho prlco of
drugs sold "under cover" bad gone up
slnco tho net went Into effect. "Wo are
certainly making It more difficult to get
drugs," Mr. Kane said, "and we aro
cutting off at least a certain crop of
habitues. Wo have heard of men recent
ly boasting that they could get drugs now
If they had sufficient money, which only
shows that a narcotic blockade Is being
Inforced. i
"Director Krusen Is quoted ns saying
that DO per cent, of tho 'dope' users known
to the police are young women between
tho ages of IS and 23 years. Women
who get narcotics Illegally do so, how
ever, not only at their own risk, but nt
i the risk of tho peddler, and even at the
I risk of a messenger who should happen
to carry the drug.
"I am heartily In favor or the fataio
supplying some proper facilities for the
need of the 'dope' victims. Conditions at
tho City Hospital certainly arc inade
quate. I also think that there must bo
some way of keeping drug habitues under
supervision and restraint before we can
eradicate tno evil, i wisn to aqa tnai in
no way do I mean or wish to criticize
Director Krusen."
Collector of Internal ItovcnueLedorer.
who Is a member of tho Narcotic Com
mitteo formed recently for tho uplift
and botterment of drug users and
headed hy Edward Bok. editor of tho
Ladles' Home Journal, raid that tho In
ternal Revenue Department had every
proof that drugs were more difficult' to
get now than prior to the enactment
of tho Harrison act.
"Drug users como Into this office on
many occasions and ask to bo sent to
the hospital." Mr. Lederer said. "In
other words, drug habitues find It more
difficult every day to get narcotics."
Both Mr. Kane and Mr. Lederer denied
that the drug situation here was a blot
on the good name of Philadelphia, as
Director Krusen was reported to have
stated. "Philadelphia Is no worse than
any other largo city In that respect," Mr.
Kane said. "It probably Is better than
quite a few cities. For one thing, Phila
delphia does not talk au much as Chi
cago, for Instance, and I think that a
mistake. There seems to be a, spirit of
cowardice here when It comes to the
exposing of vice."

F. Spellman's confident word to tho
players of his Winter Circus, nnd they
wore Rntbercil there In coodly numbers
before that hour this mornlni;. They nro
still there this nftcrnoon, while Mr. Spell

Most of the day ho has been In the law

the Sheriffs odlre had agreed to rclcnso
all the Roods and chattels which had
been nttnehed, but had not yet released
the cashier's receipts, which nlso hnd
been attached. Spellman needs thla
money to pay salaries.
Spellman Is nervous, but confident. He
said ho tho'JKht ho'rt pull through all
right, but was leaving: the method to his
attorney.
It was a pretty good-humored crowd
thnt Idled away the tlmo at Convention
Hall. Thev weio sort of hoping against
hope; when they hoped they dreamed
that tho II o'clock payment would be
delivered, but when they thought about
It they guessed It wouldn't como through.
Tho gentlemen from tho Near and Far
Fast, from (Jermany. from Australia and
from nil the other far corners of tho earth,
who make up tho acting personnel, were
all there. They didn't havo any money,
but sometlmo or other In their careers tho
experience of not being paid had hap
pened to them nil, nnd they accepted tho
condition philosophically. Spellman was
all right, they said, and would pay as
soon as be could ge.t on his feet.
Willie Santey. the aerial artist who fell
last Tuesday night, got a message In tho
Samaritan Hospital from Spellman that
his money would como through. So San

was smiling this morning.
Spellman intends to show in Baltimore

"Here's My Money"
You don't give up your money
first before you buy a suit of clothes
you try on the clothes first. So
it is with the food you buy furni
ture; shoes; a house almost every
thing. But a year in advance,
nearly a" million men and women
say to the publishers of The Ladies'
Home Journal: "Here's my money
for a year of your magazine. I
don't know what you will give me
for it, but I trust you."
This is confidence, but confi
dence based on something. It rests
on what has gone before. It is
a greater achievement than most
folks stop to figure out when not
one, or a hundred, or a thousand,
or a hundred thousand, but actu
ally a million and seven hundred
thousand men and women put
down 15 cents every month or
$1.50 a year, in advance, for an
article they haven't examined or
seen.
This makes stewardship out of
editorship. That's the basis on
Which THELADJES'HOMEjOURNALiS
edited to make good an obligation.
Why not give us your confi
dence? Just try a copy of
The Ladies'
HOME JOURNAL
It's only 15 cents
