l S touch with tho vice question In the
Var Tenderloin ward, Congressman John
R K. Scott, whose 14th "Ward leadership
his resulted In bonanza time's for the
disorderly, resorts, being In Washington.
The- situation Is a peculiar one. Both
the Hth and 14th Wards, controlled re-
' spectlvely by Flaherty and Scott, nre Bltu-
ated liuthe 10th and Buttonwood streets
1 itatlon, of which George Stinger Is lleu-
' tenant. .SUnger Is affiliated with the
Vares, who are thus able to make the
' Tenderloin a icholce battleground In their
' fliht to nominate Ambler for tho auditor
jeneralshlp at the May primaries two
weeks hence.
STAMPEDE FAILS.
Thus far the efforts of the Vares to
lUmpede McNIchol followers with the nld
of the police of the 10th and Buttonwood
jtxeets station and oust Flaherty from
the leadership of the 13th Ward have
' been unavailing. Which fact, however,
did not prevent Flaherty from voicing his
thoughts on the matter when asked If
he believed the evidence ottered yester
day aealnat the 14th Ward struggle had
Droved the Bureau of Police to bo in
league with the lawbreakers at the sollci
tatlon of the Vares.
"Mr Use' talking about It," said Fla
herty briefly, "A blind man could see
that." '
Flaherty added that there was In effect
a rigid quarantine, ruling with an Iron
, hand the ward which he controls.
Senator Vare, to whom Is attributed the
adoption of the policy of attrition pre-
vailing In the McNIchol Tenderloin wards,
;. waxed wrothy when asked the same ques
tion which Flaherty had'settled..
"You ought to know better than to ask
I me ,a question like that," ,wns his com
' roent That was all.
"', WHAT THE POLICE SAY.
' Superintendent of Police Robinson, In
discussing the question, said: "The police
department, so far lis I know. Is showing
absolutely no favoritism In deallpg with
vice. We are closing them all up with
out regard lo politics."
Since Lieutenant Stinger was apprised.
In advance of 'the printing of the charges
yesterday, of the fact that information
was desired as to why Scott's ward was
allowed privileges that were refused the
McNIchol 10th and 13th Wards, one house
has been raided nnd the usual quota of
women arrested,
Stinger's attention was directed to the
fact that one house In particular was still
running,
"It has been closed," he said.
Investigation later developed the result
that such was not the case. The house
was still operating, but with more discre
tion than was noticeable before Stinger's
co-operation with the Vares was exposed
yesterday.

MACKEY POLITICAL
"JEKYLL AND HYDE,
SAYS JOHN M'GARVEY
Vare Leader Hits Back and As
serts 46th Ward Penrose
Chief Is a "Political
Fanatic"
UPROAR AT MEETING
Coercion Charge nnd Alleged Line-up
With Liquor Interests Fol
lowed by Denial
Vcrbnl brickbats nre flying thick nnd
fast In the 4fith Wnrd. West Philadel
phia. In a fight between the Vare
McNIchol fnctlons, with Harry A. Mnckoy,
chairman of tlm Workmen's Compensa
tion Board, ns the centre of the flght.
Mr. Mnckey, Vare leader of the wnrd,
characterized John McGnrvey, a Penrose
lieutenant., ns a "political fanatic" today,
while McGnrvey called Mackey a "po
litical Jekyll nnd Hyde."
"Mr. Mackey." said McGnrvey. "Is work
ing with the Bible clnsses on Sunday nnl
the saloonkeepers on other days. He Is
trying to win the support of the local op
tlonlsts nnd the liquor dealers at the same
time,
"AND THE FIGHT WAS ON"
" The uproar followed a meeting held
last night at 215 South 62d street at
which Mnckey wna attacked for his al
liance with the Bntr.ibnugh-Vnre Influ
ences. According to reports of the ses
sion, Mr. McGarvey said:
"Mackey has tried coercion. Intimida
tion, browbentlng and In the last few
days hns called up corporations, employers
and Individuals to bring pressure; he
called up one of the largest nnd most
powerful corporations In the State of
.Pennsylvania and said there wns a man
In Its employ who was Interfering In
politics. Mackey said he was surprised
that this ' corporation would permit Its
employes to mingle In political fights and
especially In this single case, as the man
was against him."
Mr. McGarvey denied today that he
used this language, but declared that Mr.
Mackey had called upon the Pennsylvania
Manufacturers' Association to have Fred
erick Rees, nn Insurance underwriter In
Its employ, withdrawn from the political
contest in the ward.
MACKEV EXPLAINS.
Ori this point Mr. Mnckey said:
"I have no objection to any individual
participating In politics ordinarily, but In
this case the gentleman was In the Insur
ance business. X explained to Mr. Shoe
maker, secretary of the Manufacturers'
Association, that I sat ns a sort of court
of review on compensation cases Involving
that organization. As a mntter of fair
ness and logic, I thought that no man
placed In this position should enter Into
such a fight ns this." He continued:
"Any newspaperman who visits my of
fice knows that I can be found there from
9 o'clock in the morning until 7 or 8
o'clock at night. My friends know that I
am .there transacting purely official busi
ness and that In a hundred addresses
which I have made recently, I discussed
the subject of workmen's compensation,
eliminating politics.
"I don't know why I should have been
selected for this attack any more than
the leaders of any other ward In West
Philadelphia. The fact Is that the pas
sage of the workmen's compensation" law
and Its successful administration has been
one of Governor Brumbaugh's best asset.
Those who are opposed to Senator Vai
and the Brumbaugh administration ar
therefore, choosing me as the logical tar
get." "Safety First" Exhibit Open to Public

then questioned about them.
At the end of the quiz, the police llcu
tant appeared In the corridor.
Iteporters nsked him:
"What will you tell nbotlt the ques
tions tho Mayor Asked you In reference
to the political activity that has been al
leged ngalnst you?"
"I won't tell you nnythlng." he replied,
nnd a momont later said, "1 didn't see the
Mayor."
The Mayor nppenred In lit' outer omce
for a moment nfter Huster left, nnd wns
nsked: '
"Did you see Huster?"
"t certnlnly did," ho replied.
"What have you to sny about It?"
"I can't say now; t haven't completed

Intelligent buying of provisions for the home implies not only tlit sense
for Quality;, but also a due regard for Economy in time, labor, and mental
effort.
The best food at the least expense of wear-and-tear is the modern, scien
tific idea. For those who exercise this higher intelligence in buying for the
home Franco-American Soups are an inevitable purchase.
In Quality these soups are the final word; to purity pf ingredients is added
their exclusive and inimitable "French touch." They require absolutely no
home preparation except the heating, and their delightful variety simplifies the
task of planning the daily menu.
In the "offmonths" especially, these Franco-American advantages are
more than welcome. Have you ordered a supply for your summer home?

at a time when ho has started tho ftask
of calling In nil ward leaders to learn
whether they will favor or oppose the
measures that carry with them nil hope
for a progressive administration. Al
though the Mayor hns not said what re
prisal methods will be employed ngalnst
those who oppose the bills for factional
i reasons, his failure to "get together" with
Senator McNIchol Indicates, beyond all
doubt, that the Penrose-McNIchol leaders
who oppose' the bills can expect but little
consideration at the hands of the Adminis
tration during his term.
Dally conferences between Mayor Smith

explaining his nctlon In asking tho ward

"I am asking every ward leader to come
