totti you, tt fnako Inquiry Into that coil
rtltlort OFFERS AB8ISTANCE,
'The nerrlce of the District Attorney
will be nt your command, a well as the of
ficers of this court, for the Issuance of any
process that you feel, as grand Jurors, you;
desire, to Issue, to have before you for In
quiry, through the necessary officials. Into
the conditions hamed,
Thfl court was, for a number of years,
conhected with lh District Attorney's ofllco,
and Is somewhat familiar with difficulty of
the police In scouring the evldenco neces
sary tot- the conviction of this ela"js of of
fenders, and therefore Is In thorough sym
pathy with the effort of the polkw depart
ment to give to the cttUens of this com
munity a. proper and honest administration.
The Insinuation appears to have rone broad
cast that the police officials have not been
dolnr their duty, and that the conditions
alleged, as to vice ahd gambling;, are oper
ating under1 and with tho connivance and
consent of the police department. This the
court believes to be unfounded.
Ton as grand Jurors, It you desire ro
to do, may hare before you In an Inquiry.
If you deilre to conduct such an Inquiry,
every official or other person that you,
as members of the Grand Jury require.
These cases will ba sent before you. by
the District Attorney, and the court asks
that your earnest attention be given to
them."
ItEVIVAli OP rOLtCY.
At this point in the proceedings Judgo
Rogers turned to Judge Flnlettur, of Court
No, 4, who had taken a seat on the bench
alongside of him. The two Judges con
ferred for a moment or two nnd Just as
the Jurymen were about to retire Judge
Rogers added this postscript to his remarks:
"Another thing I wish to call your at
tention to, gentlemen of tho Grand Jury,
before you retire, Is Utat a charge Is made
there appears to have been revived tn
Philadelphia a gambling gamo known as
policy' one of the most vicious nnd low
est forms of gambling and In your In
quiry you may, If. you desire, call beforo
you rnibllo officials, or others, to properly
conduct your Investigation."
C. O. Mershon, a real estate broker, of
let Spruce street. Is foreman of the Jury.
Ordinarily the term of service of the
Grand Jury would expire tomorrow, but It
It likely that In view of the gravity of con
ditions relative to vice, the Jurors will be
held together until they have had sufficient
time to summon witnesses and conduct on
Inquiry Into tho alleged resumption of gam
bling and alleged Immorality In the city.
JURORS RESUME ROUTINE.
When Judge Rogers concluded his ad
dress, tho Grand Jury returned to Its room
and resumed the routlno of business during
which vice cases will como before the body
f investigation. The hearings before the
,rand Jury are private and behind locked
doors, but If any Instruction; nro needed
regarding Indictments or summoning of wit
nesses the District Attorney Is communi
cated with. It Is not known, as yet, what
police officials or municipal authorities will
bo summoned on witnesses by tho Grand
Jury In their Investigation of the charges
of rampant vice conditions. It Is expected
that Assistant District Attorney Tnulane
will bo assigned to wait upon tho Grand
Jury for any assistance, needed In the sum
moning of witnesses In the vice cases,
NO "FITtEWOIUtS" THIS TIME.
Following tho disclosures that Tenderloin
characters cared little about tho raid of
Saturday, a dozen arrests were made, tn that
section last night without any display of
"fireworks."
Plain-clothes men worked under tho di
rection of Captain of Detectives Tate, who
usually follows the plan of working with
out spectacular effects. It was his first day
In charge of the vice squad. He told tho
men what would be expected of them and
advised them to ba cautious and suro.
The prisoners arrested were taken to the
11th and Winter and 10th and Buttonwood
streets stations. The proprietors of several
speakeasies were nlso arrested on warrants
worn out by John Brounley, of the Law
and Order Society. The prisoners conducted
houses In the neighborhood of Franklin and
Callowhlll and lth and "Winter streets,
SEEK OTHER HAUNTS.
As a result of the Saturday raid many
of ,thoso who wiggled out of the dragnet
through tho Influence of petty leaders and
official hangers-on can now be seen In the
busy streets of West and Northwest Phila
delphia. Many of those whose gaudy atttro was
familiar In the streets of tho Tenderloin
can be found at night on E2d street, between
Spruce and Mirket. Residents have com
plained about them. Some of these womop,
have approached men connected with re
ligious organizations, also youths In this
section.
With the evident attempt to show sin
cerity in the anti-vice, crusade, the admin
istration has ordered that the lid must go
down on gambling, especially in the con
spicuous places in the central part of the
city.
Incidentally It has been noticed that the
handbook men who formerly worked at
Broad and at 15th and Chestnut streets
have confined their energies to the neigh
borhood of 16th street, which Is regarded as
safer territory for their work.
Regardless of the police orders, however,
policy games are running In many places
in the heart of the shopping district. The
word has gone out among those who follow
)thls game, chiefly poolroom players and
others of Indefinite pursuits, that It is back
to stay.
The policy patrons flrst tried the game
out in the neighborhood of 30th and Whar
ton streets and other points along Gray's
Ferry road many weekaTago. But the ne
groes who 'followed it In this section became
too public in their methods and eventually
the game crept toward the central part of
the city.
SOME OAMBLING HOUSES CLOSED.
Gambling houses In the 20th and 47th
Wards have closed. Those who know the
devious ways of politics say that they will
Boon be reopened.
Tho wholesale raid conducted under the
direction of Director Wilson last Saturday
evening han't resulted In the "lids" being
clamped down, according to Tenderloin
habitues. The section where EOO persons
were rounded up, habitues of that locality
said today is Just as wide open as it was a
week ago.
Many offenders who were caught In the
big raid -were visible on the streets In the
10th Ward today, Sorao won their tem
porary freedom by being released on ball
by Magistrates.
Tenderloin habitues say they must ply
their trade in order to pay their commis
sion to the bondsmen. These bondsmen
made from 20 to 40 per cent, on the
amounts of ball they furnished.
"The big noise will soon blow over,"
These seven words were on the lips of
dozens of persons known o the underworld.

CITY GUARDSMEN
FACE DISMISSAL
IN RED TAP'E ROW
Captain and Private, Who
Refused to Re-enlist,
May Be Tried
FEDERAL OATH CAUSE
By CARL L. ZEISBERG
Rvenina Ltdoer Staff Correspondent
Eti PASO, Tex., July 20. A Philadelphia
National Guard captain In the shadow of
court-mnrtlal nnd a private In his company
facing trial for nn alleged fraud on the
Government It one of the results of tho
now-muddled transfer of tho National Guard
Into Federal servlco on tho border.
The officer's case Is one of the worst
fruits of n system of transporting guards
men to the border regardless of when their
enlistments expired after they were mus
tered Into Federal nervtec, nn undertaking
which today wns criticised by botli Major
General Clement nnd Brigadier General
Price.
Tho enlistments of scores of guardsmen
now encamped here have expired or shortly
will expire, and their cases constitute n
problem which will not be solved until n
requested ruling from the Southern Depart
ment Is received.
No discharges can be granted until this
ruling Is mndo, for tho commanding offlcer3
here aro United States officers now with
apparently no authority to sign discharges
for guards.
The case of the captain and private In
volved Is In a class separate and distinct.
The private took tho Federal onth after his
enlistment had oxplred, a fact said to bo
known to his captain. This lays the cap
tain open to dismissal from the service, ac
cording to Articles 6 and 14 of tho Articles
of War; and If, as his superiors allege, the
private allowed himself Illegally to be mus
tered In, merely for tho freo trip nnd with
the expectation of being sent homo on his
arrival hero, ho Is llablo to prosecution, as
pointed out by a very high officer.
The private's enlistment as a militiaman
expired July 1 nt ML Gretna. He naked
for and was refused a discharge, according
to his story,
REFUSED TO RE-ENLIST.
At any rate, when his regiment took tho
Federal oath, hs held up his hand tn assent
and with the tacit consent of his com
mander. Ho accompanied the regiment to
Kl Paso nnd hero refused to ro-enllst on
the ground that his wife and children In
Philadelphia wcro dependent upon him.
The captain's answor, with tho approval
of his superiors, was to strip tho enlisted
man of his equipment nnd to Btop his pay
and rations. The prlvato's caso presents nn
enigma. Strictly not a soldlor, ho wears a
uniform. Ho Is not a guardsman, for his
enlistment has explrod; nor Is ho free, for
tho evidence of tho expiration of his torm
of servlco, tho discharge papers, has not
been signed and cannot bo until a ruling Is
mado by tho Southern Department com
mander. In the mcantlmo the private Is a sorry
spectacle as hs wanders disconsolately
across tho mesa nenr camp, thinking of his
wife and children S500 miles away. He re
turns to camp at mess time for tho hand
outs his sympathetic comrades save for
him. At nightfall ho slinks Into his
"bunklo's" tent. He is the victim of "bar
racks lawyers," officers say, meaning those
of his fellow soldiers who Influenced him.
The enlistments of Bcores of Pennsylva
nia sollders expired en route. In camp here,
or to expire Boon. Blame for this condition
was placed both on the men and their com
pany commanders by Major General Clem
ent and Brlgndler General Price.
"All this trouble could have been avoided
If the captains had been careful to weed
out of their commands men whoso enlist
ments they knew would expire, soon nfter
arrival here," said General Clement, dis
cussing the mustering In of guardsmen
whoso terms lacked only a month or bo of
completion. "Far simpler It would have
beon to bring down a command of men with
only long enlistments beforo them.
"No man with an expiration coming with
in a short tlmo should have taken the Fed
eral oath without previously re-enllBtlng,
and no such man should have been allowed
to take this trip without showing evldenco
by ro-enllbtlnpr of his good faith and will.
Ingness to serve his country."
Ovoranxlcty on the part of tho captains
to mako n brave showing with largo com
panies of men with both long and short
enlistments before them, said General Prlco(
was responsible for the number of soldiers
now here whoso enlistments have expired
or will expire soon.
"If tho captains had followed the Instruc
tions of Adjutant General Stewart, no en
listments would have expired here," he said.

tracts on tho old "mllltla" blanks, while the

BETSY ROSS ASSOCIATIONS CLASH
OVER DISPOSITION OF MILLIONS
If Heirs Recover Property Here and Elsewhere the Me
morial Body, It Is Said, Will Not Handle
One Penny of the Money
No matter how many millions the "Betsy
Ross Heirs' Association" recovers when the
courts finally decide, if It ever does, that
tha slta of John Wanamaker's store, the
site of the Wtdener Building, and many
other valuable properties here and In other
cities belong to Its members the Betsy Ross
Memorial Association wilt not handle a
penny of It.
This may seem strange, because the Betsy
Rosa Memorial Association is seeking funds
to preserve the flagmaker's home In Arch
street and to provide for Its physical safety
In the years to come.
But they don't want money In that way,
Charles H. Welfgerber, secretary and man
ager of tha memorial association, also its
founder, said so today. His Interview
resolved Itself Into a speech to visitors to
the house In Arch street; it furnished a
theme that lent Itself well to oratory, and
Mr. Welsgerber reasoned lengthily and
with' passion against accepting any such
money.
, Ho that It may not be deserved. He
did not go Into that,
"But "
Of course, the speech can't be repro
duced, nor the sustained flights and splen
did periods, but the gist of the reasoning
by Mr. Weisgerbor comes down to this:
"No sltifle set of people will be per
mitted to- Mrogate to themselves the privi
lege of building a permanent foundation for
the BeUy Ron House. H Is a duty that
belongs to all America, and tha duty
be psHher subl; nor divided."

0'LEARY DIVORCE SUIT
SETTLED, SAYS RUMOR
Former Police Superintendent,
Who Accused Wife, Refuses
to Confirm Report
Humors of a. settlement of the dlvorco
suit former Assistant Superintendent of
Pollco Timothy O'Lcnry began against Mar
tina Dale O'Lcnry yesterday were circulated
today. Frlandn of the couplo do not believe
the enso will ever como to trial.
A financial ngrcemont has been reached.
It Is eald, although thero Is some misun
derstanding as to the terms. It Is believed,
however, that tho tremble will be disposed
of without any public nlrlng of the case.
O'Leary would add nothing to tho charges
In his suit, nnmsly, "cruel nnd barbarous
treatment." At his office In the Pennsyl
vania Dulldtng he declined to comment on
tho settlement rumor.
The O'Leary home, at 121 North Lambert
Btroot, It Is said, wns held In tho name of
Mrs. O'Leary, but nt tho outset of their
differences she transferred It to O'Leary. It
Is understood that he turned It over to his
17-ycnr-old daughter. In tho event or tho
divorce suit's going to trial, Mrs. O'Lcnry
snld she bollcved her daughter would favor
Mr. O'Lcnry.
While thero has been a scries of misun
derstandings between the O'Lcnrys, It Is
said the climax was not reached until a few
days ago, upon her return from a trip to
Atlantlo City.
At tho O'Leary home today It was said
Mrs. O'Leary was out of tho city.

NEW YORK, July 20. Vance McCor
mlck,' campaign manager for President Wil
son, announced today at Democratic head
quarters that Progressives all over the
country are sending In word that they will
support President Wilson for re-electlun.
Mr. McCormlck said the President will not
make any campaign speeches.
Mr. Welsgerber said he admired the spirit
of the Hetsy Itoss heirs, which had always
kept thevm from indulging In any vainglory
on account of their name.
"It was a fine spirit of Christian retire
ment that kept them In the background and
made them refrain from trying to gain pres
tige through their ancestry by attempting
to do by themselves everything that Is and
ought to be done for the Betsy Itoss House.
They recognized that It was an ail-American,
not an all-family privilege, and they
very decently have kept In the background
and Ut the memorial association Carry on
the work for all the people."
Just what success Is probable in the
effort of the heirs to recover the lost mil
lions, Mr, Welsgerber eald 'he didn't know,
He had never Investigated It, he said, be
cause he wasn't the least bit Interested.
This subject has come to be more in the
nature of a suggeslve threat than a prob
ability. From time to time thero have
been announcements that the heirs were
going to sue to gain what tbey alleged
to be their rights, and today there comes
a definite announcement from Pittsburgh
that A. Sellgsohn, an attorney of that city
will bring suit in Philadelphia ccurU within
the next 10 days to recover the properties
the Betsy Ross Heirs Association claims.

PLAINTIFFS' ARGUMENT
IN DU PONT LITIGATION
Claims Company Had Right to
Buy Stock and to Borrow
Money for Trans
action DEFENDANTS UNETHICAL
WILMINGTON, Del., July 20. Tho du
Pont Powder Company suit entered upon
the nrgument stage this morning In the
United States District Court, beforo Judge
Thompson, when John a. Johnson, senior
counsel for Alfred I. du Pont and others,
began his nppcal to tho court to glvo u de
cision that would Bet nsldo the salo of T.
Coleman du Pont's stock In the powder
company to tho du Pont Securities Com
pany, organized by Plerro S. du Pont and
others for the purpose of effecting tho pur
chase. Tho courtroom was crowded.
Mr. Johnson, at tho outsut, claimed tho
undoubted right of tho du Pont Company
under Its chnrtor, to deal In Its own shares.
But tho action of tho securities company
In buying the Coleman du Pont stock ho
likened to tho president of a corporation
buying property adjacent to tho corpora
tion's property for himself when there wns
a probability tho corporation would want
It. Tho du Pont Company, ho said, not
only had tho right to buy lt3 own stock, but
the authority to borrow money for that
purposo, should occasion arise, when It
would bj the company's Interest to do bo.
Mr. Johnson argued that It as tho spe
cial duty of Pierre S. du Pont In seeming
control of the Coleman du Pont stock, to
negotiate for tho company and not for him
self. By his nets In respect of this mnttcr,
ho Bald, Pierre obtained control of the com
pany and dominance In tho board of direc
tors. Tho latter had to go along with him be
cause nny other course of action, tho
speaker said, would have meant ruin to
them.
Mr. Johnson next reviewed the actions
of Alfred I. du Pont In respect of tho pur
chase of the Coleman du Pont stock, and
argued that he had been unfairly treated
when ho sought information from Pierre
about tho matter.
OLIVER AGAINST GUFFEY
FOR POSTMASTERSHIP

Causes of Removal of McNeil
at Pittsburgh
WASHINGTON. July 20. Confirmation
of Alexander S. Guffoy as postmaster nt
Pittsburgh will bo held up by the Sennte,
according to an announcement made todny
by Senator Oliver, of Pennsylvania. Sena
tor Oliver Bald ho would resist condonation
of tho nomlneo and demand an Investiga
tion of tho causes for tho removnl of Dr.
Ceorgo W. McNeil, who was appointed by
1'resldeht Wilson last December.
, Doctor McNeil has charged that ho was
removed because he declined to discharge
the assistant postmaster, who Is a Repub
lican. The department contends Doctor Mc
Neil was guilty of Insubordination, because
he refused to Instal the two-dlvlslon plan,
which does away with the otllce of assistant
postmaster.
Under the two-dlvlslon plan, cither the
superintendent of flnanco or the superin
tendent of mails acts as postmaster In the
absence of the postmaster.
Senator Oliver said he would oppose tho
confirmation of Ouffey until such time as
It could bo determined by Investigation
whether Doctor McNeil had been removed

Heyhurn Square, at 22d slroet nnd !,
high avenuo, wns transferred from the
Ilurenu of City Property to tho Doard of

tho Committee on City Property. As the
plot of ground next to the square Is al

dud nn Item of $10,000 to pay salaries of
m'hstltuUs employed to take the places of
88 city cmployos who have gono to the
front with tho guardsmen. It Is understood
that fower than 30 men have been appointed

As tho $177,000 rebate paid by the Phllv

many of tho bills providing for mors

SULZER, NOMINATION
HIS GOAL, REACHES
CONVENTION OF DRYS
Long Lock nnd Silver Tonguo
Won't Stampede Gathering,
However, Hanly Men
LANDRITH SECOND 'CHOICE
Sumner W. Haynes Will Nominato
Hanly, Is Plan Sulzer
by Chafin
AUDITORimt. St. Paul, Minn.. July 20?
William E. Sulzer, of New York, ar
rived nt tho Prohibition National Conven
tion today In nn eloventh-hour attempt to
provent the nomination of J. Frank Hanly,
of Indiana, for President.
Prior to Sutler's arrival Hanly's nomina
tion seemed assured. Sulzer, seeking' tho
nomination largely upon an anti-Catholic
platform, was expected to attempt to
ritnmpede thn convention Inter In tho day.
Mennwhlle, Sulzer forces In the Resolutions
Committee sought tn Inject an nntl-Cnthollo
plank Into tho platform.
Tho day gnvo early promise of being ono
of fireworks. Mr, Sulzer had been scheduled
to arrive during tho morning nnd make a
Koosevoltlnn descent upon the convention In
nn attempt to stampede It Into nominating
him. Tho Sulzer adherents seemed confident
that under the oratory of the former New
York Governor tholr clnn would snatch tha
plum from Hanly nt the eleventh hour
Against this plan of procedure, however,
the entire administration of tho party wan
set, although admittedly It could not prevent
Mr. Sulzer from addressing tho delegates.
Tho Hnnly forces claimed that they already
had pledged more than enough votes to put
their candldato over nnd no matter how
much dramatic maneuvering Mr. Sulzer did,
J. Frank Hanly, of Indiana, would head
tha ticket.
Dr. Ira J. Landrlth, of Tennessee, prob
nbly will get the vlco presidential nomina
tion. Tho plan of campaign for today's
action called for the nomination of Kanly
by Sumner W. Hnynes, n fellow Hooster,
who camo to the convention with presiden
tial aspirations himself. Ho has released
tho Indiana delegation from Its pledge,
howovcr, and will swing tho entire weight
of his support to Hnnly. Hugone W. Chnlln,
who has been the nominee for the last two
campaigns, will nominate Sulzer. Tho
Platform Subcqmmlttco spent nil night work
ing on the declaration of principles nnd
presented Its report to the full committco
Bhortly before tho convention opened. The
usual planks, prohibition, suffrnge, peace,
arbitration of International disputes, eta,
were again Included Tho only uncertain
plank In thn structure was the ono relating
to national preparedness. The younger cle
ment of tho pnrty wants a moderate dsfenso
assertion, but the older nnd pnc.flst faction
was strongly against this.
Chalrmnn Patton .called tho convention to
order while the platform committee still
wrestled with tho religious controversy.
The convention opened with tho singing of
"The Stnr-Sponglcd Banner." Jinny delo
gates wcro missing. The Rev. Mrs. Vnrney,
of Pcnniylvnnln, asked for divine guldanco
to tho White Houso this ytar and expressed
tho hopo that all .Progressives nnd Suf
raglsts would unlto under tho Prohibition
banner.
Tho proceedings dragged during tho first
hour nnd singing was resorted to to kill
time. Much merriment and somo notso was
occasioned by tho reading of a telegram
from C. C. Warren, of Hlnsdnlc, III., advis
ing tho convention to "nominato Hughes
nnd win."
The Indiana contingent, 100 strong, stnrt
cd whooping thlngB up for Hanly early.
They marched to tho auditorium waving
tings nnd paraded the alBlcs for a halt
hour singing a special Hanly song. It was
tho first real demonstration of the conven
tion, but It failed to evoke much enthusiasm.
FL0RIDIAN GIVES $50,000
TO PROHIBITION FUND
ST. PAUL. Minn., July 20. The Prohlbl
tlon National Convention Is going to nomi
nate somo one probably J. Frank Hnnly,
of Indiana for President today, but a little
old man from Johnston, Fla., Is Its hero.
The Pro'nibltlonlBts need money to run a
campaign. Tho chairman has' called for
contributions, as they wero coming In
slowly.
A voice back In the hall said something
about $CO,000.
"What's that?" the crowd shouted.
Coffin's gray head popped up from the
Florldi delegation.
"Yes, that's what I said," ho said. "Put
mo down for $50,000."
The convention cltoered nnd delegates top
pled over their chairs ,to get to Coflln. They
picked him up nnd carried him to the plat
form. Tho collection was just like one of those
donation parties they have for country min
isters. Those who didn't havo money gave
other things. One man tossed Into the pot a
mortgage for $158,08 on some Illinois law
books and told tho collectors to get after ths
money.
