LIZARDS MUST GO, SAYS
EWING IN WAR ON VICE
Continued from rase One
people who are responsible more than any
other element for crime It Isn't my fault."
NOT NEW AT THE GAME.
"1 am not new at this came. I have beon
In the Tenderloin before in the capacity of
a police commandor. I wns In that section
for almost six years, during which time I
made more than 1000 raids. A Inrgo per
centage of these raids resulted In convic
tions. But, sorry to say, there were many
sentences meted out In tho shape of fines.
"You can't eliminate gambling by tho Im
posing of fines. Just havo our courts hand
out a good Btlff sentence and you will see
that the number of gambling houses and
other vice resorts win begin to dwindle.
When a gambler Is fined It Is Just like an
acquittal to him. A gambler or tho pro
prietor of a vlco resort will continue to pay
fines In our courts until doomsday, as long
as he can continue to ply his trade.
"WHO'S WHO" WITH THE COPS.
Acting Captain Ewlng Is a resident of
West Philadelphia. Since he was given
command of , the .2d division, which comprises
the 3d, 4th. 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 8th. 19th and
30th Police Districts, he has been almost
continually on duty. Since his return to
the Tenderloin he has seen many faces
which were there during his time between
1006 and 1912.
"And take It from me, I'll have every one
of thoso persons who are known In the eo
called 'who's who' of the Police Depart
ment behind the bars as soon as I get my
evidence against them. Then I will bo
through. I mean, then, It will be up for the
courts to decide what should be done with
them.
"There, has been talk of nollce command.
rs being afraid to do their honest duty
for fear of political persecution. I don't
believe It. Well, as far as 1 am concerned,
I am not afraid of persecution either by tho
Ice crowd or their political friends. This
Is straight from the shoulder. There may
be powerful politicians, but how about the
powerful public. I am going out to clean
tip the Tenderloin and will sink or swim In
performing the task."
"Every one of my men knows how I feel
about this matter. I have told my uni
formed men and the speolal officers who are
In my division that they need have no fear
of politicians. If any policeman under my
command performs his duty and Is perse
cuted. I will etick by him tho same way as
any friend sticks to his pal. But the publlo
and the newspapers of this city must havo
patience. Give my men and myself a
chance. I won't do anything that Is spec
tacular. I will do the best I can. Tho 'llz
ards of tho Tenderloin' must go, and they
will. I haven't mapped out any particular
method by which I will make arrests, but
I think the best method will be to keep my
eyes open and get the evidence evidence
o strong that no court will turn them out."

Benator Galltnger, of New Hampshire,
asked the chair to enforce the rules of the
Senate.
Vice President Marshall said that both
Senators had transgressed.
The discussion was opened by the suc
cessful attempt of Senator Tenrose, of Penn
sylvania, to have the Bethlehem, Steel Com
pany's brief, Including all Its advertise
ments, printed at Federal expense, as a pub
lic document.
Sevoral days ago when Senator Penrose
made the same request Senator Reed
blocked the effort Today when Senator
Penrose renewed his request Senator Reed
was not In the chamber. When he came In

"This document wns Introduced for the

Senator Reed, looking nt Senator Pen

been obtained today by "a Scnntor who had
been denounced by every leading progres
sive from the Atlantic to the Pacific."
The Missouri Senator said that In view
of the fact that Bethlehem Steel Company

BILL READY FOR VOTE.
The general naval bill, directing Imme
diate construction of four dreadnoughts and
four battle cruisers of tho latest type, prob
ably will be voted on today.
With tho proportionate number of scout
cruisers, destroyers, submarines and air
craft, this program wilt cost for the first
year 315,000,000.
At the ond of three years, the time set
for completing the program, the United
States will have added 167 war vessels of
all types and will have. In the opinion oi
United States expertB, a navy distinctly
superior to any other except England's.
The cost of the three-year program win
be $688,180,576 for vessels alone. Tho
terms of the Senate bill, however, havo
yet to meet the approval of the House.
Senator Swanson, In chnrge of the meas
ure, expecting opposition there, has con
ducted a quiet campaign organizing the
"big navy" forces for several days. Ho
predicted today that, although there will
be a warm contest, the House finally
would adopt a measure similar to the
Senate's.
In addition to tho naval program, tho
bill provides a Government-owned armor
plant and the equipment of four navy
yards Nprfolk, Puget Sound, Boston and
Philadelphia for the construction of battle
ships. WORK IN UNITED STATES YARDS.
While some of theso warships are to be
built In Government yards. It Is expected
that the armor plate plant will not be
finished In time to furnish material for any
of the present program.
The bill also provides that line officers
of the navy hereafter shall be promoted by
competition and selection rather than by
seniority, for 80-day annual vacations for
navy yard employes and for many reor
ganizations within the Navy Department.
The principal fight against the bill was
made by Senator La Follette, who declared
the appropriation unnecessarily large and
who urged a proviso forbidding the use of
the fleet In collecting debts owed Individual
Americans. Only eight votes wero obtained
for this proposal.

LANCASTER. Pa., July 21. Thomas Lee
was arested last evening for vagrancy, and
when arraigned before Alderman Charles

A few of the elder boys took a shot at
catching flies at fungo practice, though;
notably among them Speaker Ambler and
Jiromle Hailett. The latter was about the
only persdn present who don't take con
tracts for a living-.
The Senator escorted his guests about his
beautiful estate, showed them his blooded
stock and other farm adornments with en
tirely unconcealed pride, which they seemed
to share Just because the things belonged
to Ed Vare. There Is a very Arm admira
tion and liking for him among these con
tractors. Along toward evening-, when the game
was over with an altogether shamefully
large score, when many cigars bad been
moked and much bottled beer drunk you'd
b eurprised, though, to know how many
men took soft drinks, especially the younger

M'CORMICK SAYS MOOSE
WELL ELECT WILSON
Can Win With 25 Per Cent, of
Progressive Vote, Chair
man Asserts
NEW YORK, July 21 While Republi
can leaders threshed out their campaign
plans today In conferences, Democratic Na
tional Chairman McCormlck Issued his first
set of figures.
It was a carefully complied record of
Progresslvo votes cast four years ago and
an estimate which It was said wns based
on conservative Information showing that
Wilson would be able to win rc-eloctlon If
ho only succeeded In drawing 25 per cent, of
the Progresslvo strength Tho Democrats
claim he will be able to command a much
larger percentage than this but 26 per
cent, will be enough to elect, according to
McCormlck.
"Wilson's vote will probably be larger
than this." McCormlck said. "A great many
Democrats voted for Roosovolt four years
ago because they felt Wilson was ttntrlcd.
Now they will vote for Wilson."
Republican Chairman Wlllcox met with
the National Campaign Commltteo through,
the greater part of the day. Alvah H.'
Martin, national committeeman from Vir
ginia, reported on general Senatorial
prospects, and tho Senatorial Cnmpalgn
Committee of Ave members was In a spe
cial meeting. Senator McCumber, of North
Dakota, was especially active In this con
ference In urging a strenuous campaign In
his home State. He pleaded that Hughes
make one or two addresses there on his
transcontinental trip.
One of the troubles which has developed
In the Campaign Committee's meeting. It
was understood, comes out of tho fact that
every member wants especial attention paid
In the campaign to his own particular neck
of the woods and Is unwilling to concede
special concentration elsewhere unless
Hughes or some other "big campaigner"
tills the ground In his home State.

YOUNG GUARD OUSTED;
CONCEALED TRUE AGE
Continued from Tate 'One
he said, with a hit at husklness In
his
voice. ,
But orders are orders, and there was no
alternative for Captain Fantom, though
his heart was with tho tad. He Instructed
that Luskin be stripped of his equipment,
everything but the khaki uniform, and that
his name be dropped from the company
roll. Luskin, the victim of his misguided
patriotism, Is penniless In a strango land.
He receives no pay nor allowance) accord
ing to the army regulations, but he will
not suffer, save for the humiliation. Ho
wilt not suffer hardship while he awaits
money to carry him home, for his com
rades, awed by the suddenness of the stroke,
will see that food Is not wnntlng for the
boy, who wns a good soldier. The uniform
that he wears he retains through the Inter
est of Colonel Kemp, commander of the
regiment, and Captain Fantom. The com
pany commander Is responsible for the uni
form which is tne property or me Govern
ment BOUND TO BC SOLDIERS.
His discharge signed, Luskin declared his
Intention of waiting for his 21st birthday,
August 29, and re-enllsting In the regiment
with the permission of Washington, or
applying nt once nt Fort Bliss for enlistment
In the regular nrmy.
"I didn't know my mother was trying to
get me out," he said. "She thought she
wan doing the best for me, but It wasn't,
I won't go home now, I want to be n
soldier and my two hands will keep mo till
I am of age."
"Wo are sorfy to lose you," Lieutenant
James K. Fowler told him. "There Isn't a
bad mark ngalnst you."
Tho order directing Luskin's dismissal
was brief, giving no particulars savo that
the boy was under ngo. It was In tho form
of a telegram to General Clement, who
transmitted It to Colonel Kemp. Its terms
were executed swiftly. Orders nro orders.
"Orders are orders," Is a phrase that Is
sweeping through this Federalized guard In
Texas. It applies not to one man but to
every guardsman who took the Federal
oath It sprang from discontent among
troops over their removal from Camp
Pershing to Camp Stewart, the new home
of the Pennsylvania soldiers.
"If orders aro Issued directing a brigade
to camp on that mountain, they will bo
obeyod," declared Colonel Moselcy, U, 3. A.,
pointing to Jagged Mount Franklin. By a co
incidence, half an hour later, a brigadier
general of federalized guardsmen, three
miles from division headquarters, used al
most the same words.
"If orders are Issued directing my bri
gade to camp on that mountain, they will
be obeyed," he said. "Orders are orders."
The transfer of tho 2d Brigade continued
today, tho 16th Regiment pulling up Its
tent pegs and moving to Camp Stewart. 12
worm-driven autotrucks, carrying their
equipment General Logan, who has been
confined to his tent by Illness, Is much Im
proved today and probably will accompany
the last of his brigade, the 10th Regiment,
to Its new site tomorrow. General Price's
Philadelphia Brigade will move next week,
beginning with tho 3d Regiment Monday.
There will bo no troop movement Sunday,
It wob announced.
WATER PROMISED.
Water, a subject which has Almost be
come a "bogey" for the troops moving to
the level plain of Camp Stewart, was dis
cussed today by Colonel Mottley, by water
works engineers, by nrmy men, by every
body. "There will be plenty of water at
Camp Stewart," said Colonel Moscley. "The
regiments arriving now find water In their
spigots. If, when the entire division has
moved, there Is an Insufficient supply, an
emergency well near the artillery camp will
be tapped."
Theoretically, engineers said. It was Im
possible with normal prcssuro to pump
water from the 4-Inch main through 3 and
2-Inch mains to the far end of tho rec-i
tangular waterworks system, where the
cavalry and artillery camp sites are.
"But It will be done anyway, ' they said
optimistically, "If not, the pressure will
bo increased and the friction overcome."
Four or six local trains n day will run
botweon the city and tho camp within 10
days, according to the plans of the EI
Paso and Southwestern Railway, for the
benefit of the troops almost Isolated by tho
10-mlle distance to town. The last train
will leave El Paso for camp nt 3:30 p. m.,
the hour when curfew rings for the boys
In khlkl.
Another Joy, an Inter-reglmental baseball
league. Is being planned for the soldiers on
their arrival at Camp Stewart. There are
many stars In the brigades, among them
being Howard Berry, the Fenn hero, of the
1st Regiment.
"Positive assurances" that the 2d Regi
ment would be paid this afternoon were
given today. The announcement was ac
cepted with a grain of salt by the wary
warriors, twice disappointed. Despairing
of discovering any contagious diseases In
the 3d Regiment Major Luburg, surgeon,
next will examine his men's teeth. All whose
teeth have been neglected will be furnished
with brushes from the 500 brushes and boxes
of tooth powder and paste which are being
expressed to Colonel Kemp by the regi
ment's veteran gui.rd, commanded by Major
Charles lienmer, ot rniladelpma. To rate
corns constitute the regiment's worst afflic
tion. The health records of all the Phlla?
delphla troops continue, to be excellent.
One light object, however. Is the par
ticular prey of the whirlwinds the love
letter. A private In the First Regiment It
would be vlolat.ng a confidence to mention
his name had Just written "My darling
Marie" on a sheet of yellow foolscap when
there came a young cyclone and a moment
of confession. When the hubbub was. over,
on his knee rested a piece of white paper
nnd written thereon was "Dearest Elolse."
At the same time another private was
vainly searching for the- beginning of his
letter and over In tho Third Regiment ob
servers noticed a piece of yellow fooUcap
doing a merry foxtrot with a tlncup and
an ollve-drab shirt at an altitude of 75
feet.
Simultaneous whirlwinds are not uncom
mon. A pair visited the 2d Regiment today.
While one was rattling some light boards
outside the tent of Captain Stanley Root, of
Company I, Its mate was doing a more
thorough Job In the tent ot Lieutenant
Robert King, battalion adjutant. The
latter tornadoette removed everything from
Lieutenant King's tent except the Inner
lining of the tent, a pipe and the lieutenant
himself.

agents of the Prudential Life Insurance
Company, representing the New York and
New Jersey locals of their newly organized
union, have voted to strlko next Monday If
the company's threat made to dismiss 30
