GRAND JURY OBTAINS
j EXTENSION OF TIME
FOR VICE INQUIRY
(Judge Rogers Grants Request for
One Week's Continuance and
Commends Body for
Its Spirit
1' JJEW FOREMAN APPOINTED
Judgo Rogers In Quarter Sessions Court
extended existence of the- Grand Jury In
vestigating vice conditions one week when
the jury asked for the extension this morn
Henry S. Bernard, n, teacher In the
George Chandler Public School, grnduato of
Haverford College, and a lecturer nnd
traveler, wns named foreman of the Jury by
judge Rogers to take the place of Clmrlei
O. Mcrshon, who was taken sick with heart
trouble a few days ago. Mr, Morshon Is
In the care of two physicians, who told
Judge Rogers that their patlent'was unaulo
to continue his duties as foreman.
Acting foreman Manning was at the head
cf the Jury this mornlnVand appeared be
foro Judge Robers to ask for the contin
uance of the Jury. Ho told Judgo Rogers
that a contlnuanco was Imperative If tho
Investigation planned by tho Jury Is to be
carried to the last niche of vlco to bo
unveiled.
"Our Investigation," he said, "Interests
till Philadelphia. It Is our sincere dcslro
to go through with It as carefully as pos
sible. Thero aro many members of this
jury engaged In different lines of business,
and nil are willing to pacrtflco their tlmo
in order to assist tho municipality. Should
our Investigation end today, A would not
be complete,"
JUDGE COMMENDS JURY.
"It Is very commendablo on your part,"
raid tho Judge, "to bo tiling to sacrifice
your business interests and continue with
this Investigation nnd I really feel proud
of you.
"I have looked up tho law and am nssurcd
by an act of the Amembl In 187G I have
power to grant an extension. Tho law
states that a Judgo shall extend tho ex
istence, of a Grand Jury If ho thinks it
necessary."
District Attorney Samuel Rotan supple
mented tho request of tho Jury. He com
mended the Grand Jury for asking tho ex
tension anil Joined In its request.
POLITICS AND THE POLICE
Ono phase of the Investigation which .Is
giving tho Jurymen much thought Is tho
combination of police and politics in the
Sixth Ward. It was learned this after
noon that several policemen summoned
from tho Fourth and Raco streets station
that politics was tho big factor in tho
nffalrt of the district. Sergeant Clay, of
this district, said ho believed ho was re
moved because of his activity ngalnst n.
speakeasy.
Other witnesses, It Is said, testified that
eldo lines of the policeman greatly Inter
fered with their duties. In this connection
tho namo of Special Policeman Charle3
O'Draln was Included, It Is said. It was
brought out that O'Draln, In addition to
being a policeman, devoted much of his time
"to an undertaking business which ho
formerly conducted nt 132 Cherry street.
O'Draln said ho was not In tho undertaking
business now, had turned over both that
nnd the embalming business to his brother.
O'Draln wns dismissed from tho service
during tho Blankenburg administration ns
a result of charges mado ngalnst him at
that time. Ho was reinstated on the outset
of tho present administration.
Indications that the Grand Jury's vlco
Investigation will Include tho entire city
were forthcoming today, when It was learn
ed that among those who have been sub
poenaed to appear this afternoon aro City
Treasurer William McCoach, Varo leader
of tho Thirtieth TVard, and Common Coun
cilman John Costello, of tho Flrty-first
Svard, two widely separated districts,
whero it Is generally believed vice or gam
bling hnd no part.
Theso witnesses, It Is said, will be ques
tioned concerning rumors of gambling In
their especial bailiwicks and it Is understood
that tho jury has some very specific ques
tions to nsk on the subject. John Wright,
an undertaker of Frankford, and Lieutenant
Jolly, of Tacony, have also been subpoenaed.
The action of the jury has caused a
temporary wave of reform In many of tho
political clubs, where tho rattle of dice and
the swish of cards were two of the Inside
sports. In some of tho clubs now It is
said the members are actually playing
checkers and dominoes.
Tho constant Injection of D. Clarenoe
Olbboney into the proceedings has been the
cause of much comment. Ever Blnce Mayor
Smith announced that he conferred with
the Law and Order president beforo the
raid Glbboney has been a conspicuous
figure at City Hall. If ho Is not In tho
corridors he Is in tho Mayor's reception
room.
MAYOR ELUDING GIBBONEY.
Politicians around thero have noticed, in
cidentally, that Glbboney spends more time
In the reception room than he does In the
Mayor's olllce. There has also been com
ment about the Mayor's action toward his
former collaborator in the raid. In fact,
even while Mr. Glbboney; has been waiting
the Mayor, evidently 'forgetful of his
presence, has been Been to leave his olllce
by way of the door which leads directly to
the hall, therefore making it unnecessary to
pass the Law and Order man as he exits.
This has happened several times, but
Mr. Glbboney, it has been noticed, seems
to have considerable patience.
The fact that Glbboney. has visited Sen
ator McNtchol at Atlantic City on Monday
night, according to a repoK, has also caused
much guessing In political circles as to
whom the Law and Order president Is in
sympathy with. Mr. Glbboney declined to
comment on his rumored visit to the Sen
ator, Owners of disorderly houses, a list of
whose names has been furnished the Jury
by the police, will be brought in today for
examination. Additional names of property
owners ae being obtained and added to the
Hat. They will be called by the Grand Jury
If enough time is allowed by Judge Rogers.
Alleged police graft and gambling will
require several more days of the Jury's in
I vestigatlons. So far. It Is said, the surface
of graft and gambling conditions In Phila
delphia has barely been scratched and the
Jurymen are anxious to get Into the depths
nd make some exposures.
Glbboney'a possible connection with the
Penrose-McNIchol leadership, which has
been going the rounds Blnce the vice Investi
gation began, has angered Glbboney. He
has denied the story that he went to Atlantic
City Monday and conferred with Senator
McNfchol.
Information has been given to the grand
Jurors that many uniformed policemen and
special officers were-engaged In outside
business propositions. Testimony was in
troduced yesterday showing that Special
Officer O'Draln, attached to the Fourth and
Race streets station, was conducting an
undertaking establishment. O'Draln issued
a statement today denying that he was In
the undertaking business. He said he was
an undertaker before going on the poliee
force.

DIDN'T STEAL HYMNAL, SAYS CHILD
DEFENDANT, ACCUSED BY WOMAN
Glenolden Stirred by Neigh
borhood Row Involving
Five-Year-Old Girl
Maria Romero, a beautiful little girl, who
Is one of the live children In tho family
of Manuel Romero, only barber In Glen
olden, will bo ono of the defendants at a
hearing beforo .Tustlco of tho Peace Stuart
In Glenolden tonight. She Is accused of
taking a hymn book belonging to her next
door neighbor Mrs. Mary Able ; her mother
Is accused of destroying It.
It Is worth a trip to Glenolden to hear
Maria deny the accusation she does It so
prettily and so Indignantly.
"Did you take tho book?" one nsks her.
She laughs at you, then answers'
"No I didn't; I throw It In tho hedge."
"What kind of n book was It?"
"It had a namo In It."
"Yes, but what was. tho namo of tho
book?"
Maria laughs again, and without being
nt nil ashamed of It, tells you she can't
read. "You seo I'm only five," she ex
plains. It ought to be said that Maria's picture
doesn't do her Justice at nil. Tho photog
rapher didn't mako her brown hair and
eyes show to even a part of their ndvantnge
and In tho picture she Isn't smiling. She
is beautiful when she smiles, altogether
too beautiful to bo concerned In a neighbor
hood row.
That Is nil Justice Stuart says this Is.
He calls It a casa of two women, each with
n chip on her shoulder.
At the Romeros they cay tho book never
came Into the house at all.
Mrs. Abel replies that Maria took tho
book from her daughter Laura and that
tho mother refused to give it back. Mrs.
Abol adds thnt It Is a hymnbook given to
hor by her grandfather and that It oven
has her maiden namo In it
The two families have been quarreling
for some time, neighbors say. A whlspei
In cither house can bo heard In the other,
and yet there Is a fence built between tho
porches!.
They hnvo had warrants out before. Jus
tlco Stuart has always mannged to liavo
them settlo their difficulties without going
to court, but this tlmo tho ngrcoment has
not been so easy. He had It nil but settled
at a hearing tho other night; wanted to
bind them to keep tho peace between each
other and split tho costs $4 but ho failed.
He blamos John Gorman, an attorney from
Norwood, retained by L. S. Hart, an ex
Glenolden Councilman, for ho Romoron.
Mr. Hart Is tho only cx-Councllmnn In
terested, but thero aro two actual Council
men concerned. There is R. R. Cromlo. who
was being shaved by Romero when Maria
entered Into the scrape and who told tho
.Tustlco that tho little girl insisted on giv
ing the book to her mother when the fnther
asked for It. Hero Mrs. Abel comes in to
say that she heard tho mother declare her
Intention of destroying It when tho maiden
namo of Mrs. Abel was seen written on a
page. Then there nlso Is C. F. ICggleston,
president of tho Borough Council, who Is
appearing for Mrs. Abel,
The Justlco gets shaved at Romero's
place, as do all tho men mentioned, but ho
thinks Romero made n mlstako in bring
ing tho Norwood lawyer into It. It takes
money out of tho borough for ono thing,
and then he says the Norwood man Is keep
ing tho disputing parties from reaching a
settlement.
"You see," ho said today, "neither dis
putant can afford to have this thing car
ried to court. Whoever would lose in court
couldn't afford to pay the costs. I want to
settle the thing right here, nnd then divide
tho costs; by tonight they won't run over
JG, but there's no tolling where they'll stop
if tho wrancllng keeps on."
All tho testimony In the case was taken
at tho hearing the other night. It will all
bo taken ngaln tonight Maria will deny
stealing tho book. Mr. Cromle will toll what
ho heard. MaVbo Mrs. Abol's children will
appoar against Maria, but this Is doubtful.
Little Laura says Maria took the book.
Maria Isn't worried. She plays around
whoro sho pleases and would forget tho
affair entlroly If somebody didn't nlways
bring It up. ,
"Why should I want tho book?" she'lt
ask. "I can't read until I go to school
next year."
