SAFELY AND SANELY
Two Historical Parades to Pass
Through Neighborhood and
Farm Hollow Square for
Review
Slxtcen-ycar-old Henrietta Amport, a
pretty little brunette employed as a sales
woman at tho Undo Stoie Furniture Com
pany's establishment, I5K0 Baltimore ave
nue, stood before Magistrate llnrrls today
and calmly told how, whrn a neuro had in
sulted her, she pointed a pistol In his face
and ordered him to march from the store.
The accused negro also faced tho magis
trate In the 5Bth nnd Pine streets stntlon,
and In splto of his plea of mistaken Identity,
he was sentenced to 30 days In the County
Prison. Hiss Amport lives at 062 North
Union street.
. The negro entered the store last Tuesday
while Miss Amport was alone and dragged
her behind a screen. When the girl scream
ed ho ran from the store, but returned
yesterday.
Her father hart In the meanwhile given
her7 a gun and advised her to use It If neces
sary. The girl was confident that the negro
would not annoy her again, but took the
revolver, as she expressed It, "for safety's
sake."
"I want to sea some furniture," paid the
negro as he confronted the girl. He spoke
In a gruff, threatening voice and walked
toward ,tho serpen. Miss Amport hastily
procured the gun.
'Tea, I havo something nice to show
you," said the young woman. In a manner
that concealed her trepidation. She placed
the gun directly before the negro's face.
"There are five shots in It, and unless you
get out of here you can have every one of
them."
The negro ran from tho store with such
haste that he overturned some furniture.
Miss Amport tried to follow, but he dls
nppenred within a minute. She telephoned
to the station house and District Detectives
Mahaffey and Fnlzey were assigned to an
investigation.
They found a negro answering the de
scription at the corner of 16th nnd Baln
hrldge streets. The prisoner gave the name
of James Evans and faitl his nddress was
727 South 16th street. He denied having
seen the girl, but the Magistrate was un
willing to believe any part of his story
Miss Amport Identified him positively.
NATIONAL GUARD READ.Y
A sham battle between the "defenders of
Philadelphia" nnd an army which has al
ready captured New York and Boston theo
retically will take place to'dny on Belmont
plateau. '
The submarine will play no part In the
event, of course ; neither will poisonous
gases nor hand grenades. But nearly
everything else of n military nature In n
modern world will be utilized to drive home
to 100,09.0 spectators the lesson of an erst
while complacent nation nt last fighting
figuratively with Its back to tho wall. There
will be trench fighting, big gun duels, cav
alry charges and nlrcraft attacks.
The entire lBt Bilgade. of tho National
Guard of Pennsylvania, as well as cavalry
organizations stationed here, wilt engage
In the operations. Company B. Engineers,
also will participate. Ciptain Bradford has
ordered the combat train, containing tho
entire engineer equipment, to nccompany
the column to Falrmount Park. The com
pany will entrain at the Reading Terminal
at 2:43 o'clock this nftcrnoon, detralntng
nt Olcnslde and then marching to the camp
grounds.
"IlED" INVADERS ON THE WAY.
The battlo will begin nt 3:30 o'clock. The
"Red" nation Is tho Invader. The defender
Is the "Blue" nation. The enemy has dis
patched from New York an expeditionary
force to capture Philadelphia. It already
has crossed tho Dclawnre at Trenton, reach
ing Frai.ford on the morning of the Im
pending battle.
Two regiments of Infantry constitute the
enemy, whose commander received word
that the defenders of Philadelphia have been
located. He nt once Issues orders for his
troops to take the trolley bridge over the
Schuylkill. On the western bnnk the ln
vaders encounter opposition.
While the land force Is fighting, n hydro
aeroplane will fly up tho Schuylkill River
from the Philadelphia Navy Yard and a
land machine will sweep over tho city from
the cast nnd then maneuver over the battle
ground. One of the machines will bo
manned by the" Baron von Flgyelmcssy. An
other nlrcrnft feature will be a demonstra
tion of the use of the dirigible, a balloon
of this character "Tiaving been lent by tho
Aircraft Corps, of Hartford. Conn.
A most Important and spectacular duty
will be performed by the cavalry, not only
In scouting operations, but In actual charges
upon the enemy, with the support of the
artillery. In this part of tho operations the
1st and 2d Troops of Pennsylvania Cavalry
will be engaged as well as Troop G.
FIGHT TO CONTINUE INTO NIGHT.
The fighting will continue far Into the
night. Searchlights will be used on both
sides to discover the forces lurking for night
attacks. This Is ono of tho most vltnl
phases of the maneuvers, as the greatest of
the European fighting has taken place at
night. It also probably will bo the most In
tensely dramatic event of all. On Sunday
morning the guardsmen will be reviewed by
Mayor Smith.
Belmont Plateau Is so situated that 100,
000 people can without Inconvenience watch
the maneuvers. That much of a crowd la
anticipated. The operations are given with
the view of stimulating interest In National
Guard enlistments. They compose ono of a
series of events In a campaign to enroll 1800
men. It really Is profitable to Join tho Na
tional Guard, for the new army bill pro
vides for J50 to be paid to each member of
the guard who attends the two weeks' camp
and 42 of the regular drills. Efforts to have
the enlisted men's salaries continued during
camp time have proved highly successful.
Indicative of the rations provided the Na
tional Guardsmen while on duty Is the
menu for the two days' maneuvers begln
ip. tminvt Rreakfast. cereal, ham and
eggs, potatoes, coffee and prunes; dinner,
vegetable soup, roast beef, potatoes, onions,
tomatoes, pickles and rice pudding. The
meals will be cooked on the field on regula
tion army stoves by cooks of the various
companies.

Conjecture over a successor to Frank J.

his term as Chief of tho Bureau of City
Property under Mayor Smlth'n dismissal or

Mnyor to a number of minor political lead

the Mayor Is taken to mean that he Intends

A statement mado by Select Councilman
John Conroy, of tho 2Sth Ward, to the
effect that Mayor Smith would have re
tained Cummiskey had the McNIchol lead
ers of his homo ward pledged support to
tho administration and the Vnres is flatly
denied by tho Mayor, who still refuses to
give any reason for his removing the bu
reau chief. In this respect the Mayor said:
" I told Mr. Conroy that I did not need his
25th V.'nrtl. Thero were no suggestions of
pledges whatever."
After declaring that he had his "own rea
sons" for his action, the Mnyor said: "I do
not feel that It is necessary for mo to Jus

I am Justified In my own mind, but I nm
not ready to give my reasons. I feel that
I acted properly In this matter and thnt Is
all I have to say."
