MINSTERS IN OPPOSITION
Refusal of Arms In the northeastern
section of tho city to employ men who
drink hns greatly Injured tho business of
Hugh Rooney, a saloonkeeper nt tho
southwest corner of American nnd Dau
phin streets.
Rooney made this assertion today In
explaining before Judges Barrntt nnd
Davis, In the License Court, why ho want
ed a transfer to tho southwest corner of
It nnd Tioga streets. Ncnrly nil the large
firms near his present place, ho said, were
discharging men who arank. He nntned
tho Abram Cox Stove Company, whose
establishment Is near his saloon; tho
Philadelphia and Rending Hallway nnd
other companies.
Tho transfer was vigorously opposed
by tho RoV. J. S. Lonslngcr, pastor 'of tho
Ontario Presbyterian Church, which Is
near. tho site to which tho saloonkeeper
socks n trnnsfcr.
Tho clergyman said that tho corner de
sired by tho saloonkeeper was within two
blocks of his church nnd very near the
Sheridan Public School, nt G nnd Ontario
streets, which Is attended by 1500 chil
dren. It was also, pointed out by tho clorgy
man that tho neighborhood was not built
up and that tho boys of his church brother
hood would have to pass tho saloon on
tholr way to church. Rooney glared con
stantly nt tho minister during his testi
mony.
D. Clarence Gtbboncy, representing tho
Law and Order Society, suggested that
Rooney malto his application a year
hence, when tho neighborhood was built
up. Tho applicant said that 230 houses
would soon bo orccted In the neighbor
hood. The application was refused.
Joseph F.-Corrigan. of 832 Walnut
street, applied for a transfer from there
to tho southwest corner of Front nnd
Wlshnrt streets. Ho said that tho Shlppcn
estate, which owned tho Walnut street
place, would not glvo him a long lease.
Th8 applicant presented n petition with
3Q0 signers, who approved a saloon at tho
place named. Tho application was op
posed by tho Rev. Walter Smith, pastor of
tho Providence Methodist Episcopal
Church, Front street and Allegheny avonuo.
The clergyman said the proposed saloon
waB only 114 feet from his church. Tho
application was held under advisement.
Police Court Chronicles
It's wrong to sidestep sleep when It
chases you, according to Bill Burns. That's
why he lets It overtake him. Bill em
braces sleep when it meets him. He cares
little about tho stylo of his bed or bou
doir. BUI Is awaro of the fact that many
millionaires wl(h beautiful beds cannot
sleep, and considers himself lucky that ho
can sleep wherevor he happens to drop.
When things nre,, going well with tho
Treasury, Burns sleeps where there is a
roof over his head, but when his pocketa
aro filled with nothing but liabilities ho
takes things as they come, and drops
when and where ho pleases.
And when It comes to actual, long dis
tance go-as-you-please or cross-country
sleoplng. Bill Is there with the Morpheus
Marathon. Furthermore, the elements
have nothing to do with tho matter. As
to a little rain, why It Isn't worth men
tioning. . ..
Bill was in a sound slumber in tho
midst ' of a heavy rain. Several persons.
noticed him as he snored on tho steps, of
a house near Frankford and Lehigh ave
nues. Tho water ran down hla cheeks in
rivulets. While many were gazing at Bill
Idly, Thomas Connelly came along on his
coal wagon. Fearing that Bill might con
tract pneumonia, ho lifted him on the
wagon, threw a tarpaulin over him and
oarrled him on top of tho coalplle to the
Trenton aveniio and Dauphin streeta sta
tion. Sergeant Bob Henry and Policemen
Harris and Sautter helped Connelly to
carry Bill Into tho station. He was still
asleep. It required vigorous shaking to
arouse him to get a hearing. Bill thought
ho was dreaming when he awoke and
found himself staring Into the smiling
face of Magistrate Diets.
"What's the Idea?" he asked Anally.
"A. good Samaritan found you sleoplng
In the rain,", said the Judge, "and brought
you here to save your life."
Bill expressed his gratitude and was
given a good breakfast while his clothes
were dried.
The Magistrate asked him what In
thought ought to be done In tho matter,
and, after thinking the situation over
carefully, Bill suggested that ten days In
the county prison would be a fair com
promise. And his suggestion was ap
proved. -

Though they knew they were doomed to death, the hundreds of French

"Vive la France 1"
The farewell cheer for their country was echoed by those who had
plunged into tho sea and were swimming nbout and by those huddled in

Tho visit was part of the centennial cel

night with n great military charity ball.
This Is the first time In the 100 yonrs
of the arsenal's existence Hint an Invita
tion has been sent to Philadelphia school
child! en to visit tho Institution.
Guides wero In attendance nt tho ex
hibit lo show tho chlldien tha Intricacies
of nmmunltlon making and to explain
how.a range Is found. The young people,
who crowded around tho shrapnel shells
and tho howitzers nnd watched tho cartridge-filling
machine, were greatly Inter
ested In what they saw
Many of them never knew the differ
ence between n cartridge nnd a shrapnel
shell until today. Now they know how
these nre made, for they have seen them
In various singes f mniiiifnclure.

The shrapnel shells nnd tho tlmo train
attracted as much attention, perhaps, ns
any one display. A section of the casing
of a shell has been removed, so that a
View of the contents, tho balls, the
trinitrotoluol In which the bnlls nre Im
bedded, nnd tho chargo which sets off
shrapnel, may bo hnd.
An explanation of tho Use of tho time
train ring, used to rulnto tho time of
tho explosion of tho shrapnel, was given
by Albert 13, Grove, forcmnn of tho in
strument department nt tho arsenal.
Tho time train ring Is graduated In nn
Intricate manner, so that by turning cer
tain llftlo screws tho gunner Is nblo to set
tho tlmo on tho shrapnel, so It will explode
when It has gone u certain distance. For
Instance, If It Ix found that n shrnpnet Is
to be sent a distance of 460 yards It would
bo useless If It exploded when sent 100
yards.
The gunner must know flint tho shrap
nel will explode when It reaches Its des
tination. Hence tho tlmo train ring Is
placed on top of the shrapnel nnd the
proper rings nro manipulated until the
range Is fixed for 450 yards Tho gunner
also has lo allow for the altltudo nhove
sea level, ns the atmospheric pressure
has a marked effect on tho rapidity with
which the powder burns. Setting of the
fuse simply means the lengthening or
shortening of tho llttlo lines of powder
arranged In the top of the shrapnel.
Tho powder Is arranged In different
chambers, ono nboe the other. Small
holes nllmv the flames to go from chnm
ber to chamber. The manufacturers of
tho shrapnel know Just how long It will
lako for ho flame to reach tho booster,
the propelling charge, or the bursting
charge, ns the final exploslvo chargo Is
termed.

Two hundred ordnance corpi men
of the United States Army, n squad of

Frankford Arsenal last night whllo tho
Military Charity Uall wns going on.
Rumors had been current that tho great
munitions plant wns In danger. Every
building wns lighted up. No ono could
have moved about tho grounds or entered
a building without being t.ecu.
The ball, which wns hold for tho heneflt
of the Frankford Hospital, wns attended
by mora than 4000 persons nnd wns, every
ono ngrced, a great success.
Today Is Shrove Tuesday, Kaslnacht

Many curious customs are being ob

tomorrow. Ash Wednesday. It Is the last
free day before tho 40-day penitential sea
son nnd Is generally given over to accu
mulated merriment.
Pennsylvania Germans today nre entlng
"fnstnnchts," nothing more than n dough
nut lacking the familiar hole. Thousands
of these, baked In fat, will havo been con
sumed by nightfall. Fasten's E'en Is eel'

The most striking event which mnrkn

(Fnt Tuesday) celebration nt NoW Or

which blnze forth In Latin countries but
hardly this year The name "shrove" Is
derived from tho Catholic custom of shriv

tomi which has survived In England nnd
Scotland Is that of tossing tho flapjack.
Tho day wns formerly preceded by another
day of celebration, Collop Monday, on
which collops of salted meat and eggs
wero eaten.
Here Is a recipe for Shrove Tuesday
