At Matawan no effort was made to con

SMITH'S CRITICS SAY
Continued from Pane One

NO LET-UP, HAYS WILSON.
Director Wilson, who personally directed
the police action, declared lata night that
there would be no let-up In the movement
to wlpo out all flaunted vice In Philadelphia.
He said the raid was made with the knowl
edge and help of Mayor Thomas D. Smith,
and that the police plans for the future con
duct of this phase of metropolitan life had
the direct approval of Mr. Smith.
"Flaunted vice must go from Philadel
phia," Bald Director Wilson. "It has been
steadily getting owrse. For more than two
months we have been collecting evidence
against disorderly houses, and last night's
raid was our first shot. We're not through.
In addition, every case where a magistrate
holds a prisoner for court will be pressed
to the limit. We will rush theso cases."
Tho hearings of the various prisoners con
sumed more than 16 hours. Alt day long
and until late last night the magistrates
examined deeds offered for ball, accepted
fines and made out discharges. It was
estimated (hat rnore than 150.000 In deeds
passed over the bench during the day At
least $1000 In small fines was collected.
More than 10,000 In' cash ball was ac
cepted. Men who proved they were only fre
quenters of the houses were fined 10 and
costs and were allowed to go. Most of the
girls were held under 5300 ball for court,
while -proprietors of the resorts were held
under from $1000 to 11500. ball.
The raid was directed entirely against
disorderly houses. Not a gambling den
was raided, and there was no particular
attempt to rqund up drug traders. AH
forms of forbidden business, however,
alarmed at the raid, closed temporarily and
last night the city was cleaner than it has
been in a long time.
Last night the raid was continued on
a minor sea la downtown. Sixty men were
arrested in alleged disorderly houses li the
section east of Broad street on Waverly,
Lombard and South streets. The men will
be arraigned today
The spectacular clean-up al?o brought a
harvest to professional ballgoers and the

today In the electric chair at tho Western
Penitentiary. Tho murderer left a written
confession and a farewell message. In which
he said his downfall was' due to dr.ink. Ho
expressed the hope that tho young men of
Philadelphia would profit by his expert
enco and advice.
Miller died with a prayer on his lips.
The youthful murderer hold his nerve to
the end. Ho did not know until midnight
that he was to dto this morning. When the
nows was told him solemnly by tho keeper,
Miller said, "Let It bo as soon as possible,"
Ho asked that Fnther Victor Strumla, of
the Annunciation parish, who was his spir
itual adviser while he was at Moyamenslng,
accompany hint to the chair. Tho priest
was1 In Illrdsboro, Pa., 200 miles distant,
when ho received word that Miller wanted
him, He managed to reach the murderer
In time to prepare him for the ordeal.

lonely looking prison at the time of the ex
ecution. Miller could ba heard praying with
his spiritual advisers, Father Strumla and
Father McArdle,
The march from the death house began at
7;04 o'clock. It was led by Father McArdle,
who read tho prayers for the dying.' Fa
ther StrUmla followed. Ho walked back
ward, holding a crucifix up before the stead
fast gaze of Uie murderer, who prayed softly
for forgiveness.
In his right hand he held a crucifix.
Ills grip on It tightened as he prayed. Thb
mask was quickly adjusted whlls Miller
was still praying. The guards stepped
back, and at a signal 2000 4 volts passed
through the body of the mUrdner. Miller
dropped the crucifix at the first shock. It
fell to the floor between his feet in a small
pool of water. This flowed, from the
sponges In the helmet.
The current was shut oft while thb physi
cians examined the murderer. They stepped
back and on of them signaled the man
at tho switchboard. He turned on power
twice at short Intervals, and at 7:93 Miller
was pronounced dead by Dr. Robert Camp
bell. Relatives claimed his body, which was
shipped, to this pity for buriai.

lawed a career of lawlessness. The crime
for which he paid thi death penalty today
