v
, Temperature Up Four Degrees in
an Hour Humidity Will Last
Several Days -
Despite the showers of Saturday and
Sunday Philadelphia today entered upon
another week of hot weather, tho Weather
Bureau declnrtng that there Is yet no relief
in sight from the humidity and hfgh tem
perature Although the day dawned with
threats of more showers and a thermom-
flS. temperature of onlr 73 degrees was re
corded at" 8 o'clock. It became Apparent at
' noon, tha't the mercury was getting ready
Tor another fitful climb, and that the warm
wave was far from over.
Until 12 o'clock It was comparatively
comfortable and the mercury eeemed to be
slumbering, but after that hour It gave Indi
cations that It had awakened.
While a rise of only three degrees was
recorded between 8 o'clock and noon, 'there
was a rise of four degrees between noon
and 1 o'clock, when a registration ot 80
occurred, and the Weather Bureau gave out
the uncomfortable Information that a much
more serious rise was menacing.
The weather prophet added that the ex-
cesslve humidity, which settled down like a
.' ,, Yl.l. nvj,- T3hlIEiHAl,f, la ,,a .....a1.ii
ago, will remain probably a few days
longer Today the humidity was 95, slightly
more than yesterday at the same time.
One death marked the oppressive heat of
yesterday. The victim was Charles Clause,
45 years old, of 10Z1 North Randolph street.
Ho fell dead while walking near his home.
The official reason for the excessive and
disagreeable humidity Is the continued
easterly -winds, bringing with them the ac
cumulated watery vapor gathered from the
ocean. Until the wind shifts there Is little
possibility ot relief.

RETURN OF GUARDSMEN
FROM BORDER URGED IN
SPEECHES IN SENATE
"Men Realize They Were Sent
From Northern Country to
Unbearably Hot Places,"
Says Townsend
LODGE JOINS IN DEMAND
"WASHINGTON; July 24. Congren'lonal
demands for tho return df National Ounrd
troops now nlong the Mexican border were
begun In the Senate today Senator Town
send, ot Michigan, and Senator Lodge, of
Massachusetts, were the first to advocate
the withdrawal of tho guardsmen.
Because It has been apparent for aovfral
weeks that the Administration had no In
tention of going Into Mexico to restore
peace. It had been expected that the demand
made today would come from Senntors and
Congressmen whose constituents are op
posed to remaining In a hot cllmato unless
there Is real need of their services.
"Men enlisted for service," said 'Senator
Townsend, whllo speaking on the army ap
propriation bill, "hecaue they believed they
would bo sent Into Mexico Now they
realize they are being sent from a northern
country to the unbearably hot places along
the border without any possibility of their
being used. They ought to bo returned to
their schools and avocations, which they
loft when they expected they would be
called upon to fight for their country,"
"I entirety agree with the Senator from
Michigan," said Senator Lodge. "They
ought to bo sent back to their homes with
out delay. It Is apparent that the War
Department does not propose to use them
except for patrol work along tho border."

ORANGE BOOK TELLS HOLLAND'S
TROUBLES WITH BELLIGERENTS
.fJ THE HAGUE, July. 24.
THE long-expected Orange Book, wherein the grievances of Holland against
Germany, France artd England are told, has been Issued. The book sets
forth the followinp points in diplomatic history covering the period from
October, 1016, to July, 1916:
The Tubantia case Negotiation with Berlin over the ai king of the
big Dutch liner are at the stage at which they were on June 9, when Ger
many declared that the vessel was sunk by a floating torpedo fired by a
British warship and not by a German submarine.
Holland still maintains that the steamship was the victim of a U-boat
attack and that it intends to continue its investigation of the matter and
press demands for reparation.
The Berkelstrom case In the sinking of this vessel by a German subma
rine Holland sharply demanded reparation and protested in vigorous terms
against the submarine commanders; declaration that all ships, neutral or
otherwise, earning provisions to England, would be sunk. Germany de
fended the sinking of the ship, but Invited the owners of the cargo to bring
the case before the Hamburg Prize Court. On July 15 Holland replied that
jt intended to stand by its position that the sinking was illegal.
Answers are still expected from Germany as to whether the explosions'
on the Holland-America freighter Eemdijk and the Dutch steamship Itijndijk
were caused by German torpedoes.
The. Orange Pook disputes wjth Great Britain and France concerning
orders ia council of October 20 and March 80 and the French equivalent of
the decrees on the question of the ir terpretation of the nationality of merchant
men, which Holland maintains, is established by her flag. Holland maintains
her protests against the seizure and subsequent requisition of the steamship
Hamborn. by the British Admiralty as contrary to the law of nations.
Regaining the detention of letters, Holland tdopts. the standpoint of the
Vaited States,

DEUTSCHLAND WIRELESS
SEALED: READY FOR SEA
Neutrality Rule Enforced on
German Trader Another
Craft to Sail for U. S.
BALTIMORE, July 24. Tho wireless In
struments of the Deutschland were sealed
by Federal officials this afternoon under
tho neutrality laws.
Tho representatives of the customs serv
ice affixed the Federal seal to the subma
rine's wireless apparatus after making a
thorough lnnfU$):9l!TftSTlnnt. Meantime
pipes had-6ejn"'run.,fj:om',the nearby liner
Neckar to the submarine dnd a supply of
fresh water was pumped aboard the
Deutschland;
IJ. is believed that the submarine at least
Is getting ready to leave port. An officer
ot the United States navy went aboard her
today with R. Y. Cadmus, local radio In
spector, when tho latter went to the
Deutschland to seal her wireless No naval
officer has visited the suHmnrlno since Cap
tain C. F. Hughes made his Inspection at
the request of the State Department Im
mediately after her arrival.
It Is believed that this visit was to make
sure that tho Deutschland had not been
converted Into a fighting craft during her
stay in Baltimore Washington would
want to be In a position to say to the Allies
positively that no such changes had been
made.
The masts of the ship were lowered and
there wore oth'er signs that she was get
ting ready to go.
" Men connected with the Ozean Rhederef
confessed that they were In the dark as to
the present whereabouts of the Bremen,
sister ship of the subsea freighter Deutsch
land. But In the 6ame breath they declared they
had no reason to believe that she had met
an untimely end, and they explained that
while the was on the way here they would
have no means of tracing her movements.
It was recalled that Captain Koenlg an
nounced the Bremen was due here "shortly."
Officials, however, refused to reveal any
thing as to her scheduled time of sailing
from Germany or time of arrival here She
Is equipped with sufficient oil for a month
or more of steady traveling, and perhaps,
it was said, she may have found It expe
dient to lie submerged for longer periods
than the Deutschland did. It was entirely
apparent that the local offices know the
vessel left Germany, but that they were
now without information about her.
LONDON. July 24. Official denial that
British war vessels have captured the Ger
man submarine freighter Bremen, sister ship
to the Deutschland, was given today,
BERLIN, July 24, Another German
submarine will sail for the United States
In a few days.

BRITAIN WILL CURTAIL
PART OF BLACKLIST,
SAYS SENATOR SMITH
President Tells Callers Difficulty
Has "Got on His Nerves."
His Course Not
Determined
MAIL REPLY NOT PLEASING
WASHINGTON. July 21. "The blacklist
difficulty will be adjusted," Senator Hoke
Smith declared today after a talk with the
President. "I believe Great Britain will
withdraw either the whole or tho major
part of this blacklist order,-" ho said.
Smith has been a lcader.of the opposition
In this country to England's blockade poli

unsuccessful The fact- thatehcrtacc 'de

"That policy Is so. foolish that I think
even Great Britain will appreciate It," said
the Senator.
To other callers today the president ad
mitted the blacklist difficulty had "got an
his nerves." He Indicated, how over, that
the method of handling It had not been
determined.
The State Department will Immediately
acknowledge to Ambassador Page at Lon

Britain art) Inform him that It Is not con
sidered n response to the American note.
The request for an early reply on the

the British reply received yesterday would

ALL GAMBLERS MUST
GO, SAYS MAYOR SMITH
Continued from Puice ftne
night of tho raid and askeh If he thought
the blame should be placed upon the pollco
oeparimeni. ,
"That would be a great question to ask
Director Wilson," he said, and added, "there
has been a great deal said about politics,
hut It should remembered that the raid was
made after a thorough Investigation of
three months "
Asked his opinion of the charges against
Captain Kenny, published In the Transcript,
the Slayor declined t,o comment, Concern
ing the denial, he said "It's only natural
that they would deny It."
When Captain Kenny was questioned this
afternoon concerning the charges In the
Transcript, he said- "I never had any man
collecting for me. I never collected In the
Tenderloin myself. John Bigger, the po
liceman accused, U one of the most honor
able men on the force, The whole thing Is
a He out of the whole cloth, I used Bigger
for a special Investigation. One wealthy
man who Is his friend has offered to give
J5000 to any hospital If It can be proved
he did anything dishonorable whllo a mem
ber of the police force."
Attorney Gray Bald this afterlfbon that
he would represent the other suspended
police officials In addition" to Kenny and
Bigger at the trial before the Police Board
bf Inquiry on Thursday, "We will go
right to the bottom of things," he said,
"and hope to have a general showdown In
the whole situation."
One ot the most Important Phases of the
Vice inquiry will be the subpoenaing of the
owners of houses which have been rented
for immoral purposes or for gambling. The
property owners wil) be examined concern
ing their knowledge of conditions which
have existed In their properties. A recent
act of the Legislature, known as the Swift
act, makes the. property owners respon
sible for the people to whom they rent
their places.
'This city la to be cleaned up, regardless
of any influence, political or otherwise.
Henceforth, members of the vice squad are
to do 'straight police duty.' Woe tq any

new standard. A shake-up am?ng members
of the vice squad, at least, is hanging fire.'
In Introducing WUter. Captain Tate spoke
In sanguine terms of the clean-up work that
Is to come. He impressed upon the vice
squad the announcement that Philadelphia
must become a "spotless town."
"The work of each member of this squad
alone will determine whether or not he is

REPUBLICANS TO FIGHT
FOR DOUBTFUL STATES
Few Campaiga "Spellbinders,"
but Much Literature Will Be

WASHINGTON, July 24. There aro
three months of strenuous political cam
paigning ahead, because of tho thorough
fight the Republicans nre preparing to wago

first week In August, following the notifica
tion of Mr Hughes In Now Tori next Mon
day, tho Republicans will open their bat

where tho situation Is most doubtful. It IV
the plan of the Hughes leaders to place the
Democracy In a continuous, defensive posi

paign. It will bo 61 days from the date of
his nomination when Mr. Hughes formally
accepts. In the meantime however, he has
not been Idle Ho has prepared a series
of speeches which hd will deliver In the
Middle West, and will enter Maine tho first
week In September prepared for the fight
(Hero.
Very few "spellbinders' will be In this
campaign, partly becauso there nro few of
the old-fashioned campaign orators of that
Kind left and principally because tho people
will no longer listen to them. The mass
meeting, which has succeeded the old march
ing clubs. In their gay uniforms, torches nnd
vigorous brass bands, has been succeeded by
the newspapers nnd tho magazines. The
voter Is asked to study the issues catmly
and dispassionately Rnd to vote, as his judg
ment persuades him.
Naturally, a remarkably claborato or
ganization Is essential to bring beforo every
voter fh tho country tho opportunity to
study the issues nt his ease. The ammuni
tion of, campaigns today Is tho carefully
prepared and condensed literature, that Is
sent to the voter. He Is also aided by the

Vast contracts for literature and stationery
have been given out. Tho ntldresa of Mr.

the signal for the opening of tho campnfgn,
and It will be continued at high pressure

BRITISH ROUT GERMAN
SQUADRON OFF BELGIUM
Destroyers Flee After Running
Clash With Patrol Near
Schouweh Bank"
LONDON, July 21. The British sea pa
trol squadron droe off a German raiding
destroyer fleet Saturday night, according to
an Admiralty statement today.
The British patrol vessels, characterized
ns ''light forces" In the statement, sighted
three enemy destroyers Saturday at mid
night near the north Hinder lightship The
squadron retired before the British cruisers
were able to Inflict any damage.
Subsequently, the Admiralty said, elx
enemy destroyers approached and were en
gaged by the British aea forces In a run
ning fight off Schouwen bank. The German
ships were repeatedly hit, it was stated, but
succeeded in reaching the Pelglan coast.
Two ot them had a "decided list," according
to a dispatch trom The Hague.
"One of our vessels was hit once," the
statement concluded, "and two of our men
were slightly wounded."
This la the first time that German naval
forces have shown any activity since the
Jutland battle. It is probable that the
Teuton vessels engaged and driven from the
sea were a flotilla, sent out from Zeebrugge
to prey upon British shipping.
The North Hinder lightship Is located off
the Belgian coast, between Ostend and the
mouth of the Scheldt River. Schouwen bank
Is the same neighborhood. The action which
he Admiralty describes, therefore, took
place off the Belgian coast. The German
i easels engaged presumably came from Zee
brugge, where there Is a German destroyer
base.
