The practice of removing each summer
tho children of the St. Michael and All An
gels' Home for Young Colored Cripples to
Sea Jsle City, N. J., prevented an awful
tragedy this morning when Are swept their
building at 43d and Wallace streets.
Firemen said If the children had been
thero Instead it at Sea.UIe City they prob
ably would all have been killed. The Rev.
3. Da Costa Harewood, pastor of the church
which bears the name of the Institution, and
also its buperlntendent, said he thought rob
bers ver responsible.
The blaze was discovered Just before
daybreak today. A stranger notified Mr.

became too tierce The second and third
floors were bu.ned clean of their belonging.

LORD'S DAY ALLIANCE
TO CONSIDER ACTION
AGAINST DR. STEELE
Rev. Mr. Mutchler Dodges Ques
tion of Arrest of Rector of
St. Luke and the
Epiphany
CHURCH CIRCLES AROUSED
The Rev. T. T. Mutchler. general secre
tary of tho Lord's Day Alllnnco of Penn
sylvania, announced todny that he would
confer with other officials of tho organiza
tion 'to djtermlno whnt action shall bo
tnken on tho refusal of the Rev. Dr. David
M. Steele, rector of the llplscopal Church
of St. Luk nnd tho Epiphany, to nbundon
Sunday baseball on tho church farm at
SprlngllclU, Delaware County.
When Doctor Mutclilci protested against
what ho Intel pretcd as violations of tho
law nnd Scriptuio, Doctor Steelo retali
ated In a lettci by callli g the minister mid
his fellow workxn "a puck of fools" "Cow
ardly" and "detestable" wcro sonio of tlie
vitriolic adjectives' ronlalncd In the com
munication, and Doctor Mutchler appeared
today to bo In a highly nervous state ns
tho result of tho attack mado upon him by
tho prominent Episcopal clergyman.
"I don't know yet what wo shall do," ho,
bald. "I .shall confer with tho State offi
cials, as well as the head of tho Lord's Day
Alllnnco of Delaware County, Mr. Walt.
Then wo Miall determlno our courso of
action.
"I read In tho newspapers last Tuesday
nn Interview with Doctor Steele, desci th
ing Rames played at ins cnurcn lurm on
Sunday.
Doctor Mutchler said todny ho sent tho
copy of tho law of 1791 nnd his letter to
Doctor Steele In the belief that tho clergy
man would "not bo willing to lend his in
fluence to anything that would encourago
u disregard for tho laws of our Common
wealth." "As tho law of tho Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania prohibits Sunday sports, and
ns tho Superior Court of Pennsylvania
handed down an opinion on July 21, 1015,
thnt tho playing of baseball on Sunday Is
unlawful, I felt that It was but a friendly
act to send Doctor Steele a copy of this
decision ulong with a marked copy of the
law," ho said. "The section of tho law
thnt was maiked was Section 4, which Is
tho 'Modu of Conviction,' and specifies how
tho law Is to bo imforced and tho penalties
that afo to bo Imposed upon thoso who vio
late It.
"My thought In sending this to Doctor
Steele was that he, belh a Christian min
ister, would bo very glad to have this In
formation, and as thero Ind been nn cftoit
put forth In Delaware County to havo Sun
day bnseball (stopped, I was confident that
he would not bo willing to lend his Influence
to anything that would encourago a disre
gard for the laws of- our Commonwealth.
1 felt that with 'a copy of tho law in his
hands and with the decision of the Supe
rior Court before him, he would he In a
position to decide wisely uiat should lie
done at his Fresh Air Farm, nnd that ho
would certainly see to it that the law of
our Commonwealth Is respected and
obeyed."
"Aro you going to havo Doctor Steelo
arrested?" Doctor Mutchler was asked.
"I can't say yet what wo shall do," was
the reply.
The verbal encounter between tho two
clergymen has aroused great Interest In
religious circles, as both ministers are
prominent. Doctor Steele opened the farm
last Sunday. Tho church, at 13th street
below Spruce, of which ho Is rector, la In
course of repair 'and t-ervlces are mean
while being held at the Delaware County
place. "Pray and "play" (3 the slogaji of
the young pcoplo of the church. v
"I am going to wait and tee what they
do before I take any action," said Doctor
Steele. "We are not breaking the law, we
are not violating the Sabbath. Some of
our young men are playing quiet games,
not charging admission and not disturbing
the" peafe. But In the meanwhile Doctor
Mutchler's organization must keep allvo
by having something to do."
"It's not my fight," said Oliver M.
Walt, president of the Lord's Day Alllanco
of Deliware County. "It's a matter be
tween Doctor Steelo and Doctor Mutchler."

Rfhlnns havo struck a. snag at Swnrth

This becr.nio known today when mothers
of girl f-tudnntH rcrUvcd letters from Dr.

From tho lettnr one gathers thnt tho

1 Iso to thu unprccriknted collclato action,
ono which, In effect, amounts to a clothes
censorship. As Doctor Uuncroft points out,
tho up-to-date Dutch or V-necks have
nothing objectionable about them, but the
skirt "tremes will not bo brooked at all.
Thin waists, however, J'.whlch bhow tho
figure underneath." aro buimed.
Tho tone of tho letter 13 suggestive rather
than mandatory.
Doctor Bancroft leaves It to the good
senso of tho mother:) to tako the hint; tho
lays down no rules, but thero It no mis
taking her meaning. Addressing each let
ter Individually to tho mother of tho co-ed,
sho Bays:
"Simplicity and modesty in the dress of
its women has been a tradition at Sw.irth

tho 'authorities o' tho college that this tra

"Wo hbpo tho motheiH of our girls will

and extremes In length of skirt, either short
or long, are umuiltahlo for college women.
"Wo strongly urgo that no such clothing

Denn W, A. Alexander, of Swnrthmoro.
today said he cuuld throw no light on tho
action; It was entirely in the hands of the
women office's of the college. But ho did
Illuminate that paragraph In tho letter
which makes It appear that the censorship

It Is meant for all coming years. Good sense
