The possible recognition of the tariff

ardent Roosevelt Progressive, and a staunch
friend of the protective tariff, shall be sub
stituted on the Stats ticket In the place of
C IL Arnold, of East Pittsburgh, aa the
Democratic nominee for Congressman In
the Thirtieth District
The decision as to whether Kelly will
be placed on the Democratic ticket or not
apparently Is up to Ouffey, and the acting
State chairman Is at his wits' end today
in making his decision.
WITHDltAWAL. PAPERS READY
Arnold has his withdrawal papers all
ready to rile, and has placed them In the
hands of Postmaster Jacob D. norn. of Wll
raerdlng. He Is so confident that Kelly, who
la an Intimate friend of his, will be placed
en the ticket In his place, that he has order
ed Born to file his withdrawal today. Born
and Postmaster TV. C; Harvey, of East
Pittsburgh, are handling Arnold's maneuvers
for Kelly, and this morning expressed con
fidence that they will force the substitution
of Kelly for Arnold when the executive, com
mittee meets late this afternoon.
Kelty, who defeated Congressman Dalzell
In what waa then regarded as the foremod
tariff stronghold In the country, four years
ago. was defeated two years ago by Wll
r. Ham H. Coleman. Kelly ran again this
Tear, but Coleman captured the Itepubll
ean nomination. Kelly, however, ,won the
'Washington party. Prohibition and Roose
velt Progressive nominations. He has in
formed Arnold. Born and Harvey that ho
will have the financial support of the Pro
hibitionists, and the railroad employes' or
ganisations in his district have Informed
Guffey that If the Democrats Indorse him
and place him on tbelr ticket In the place
of his friend Arnold, they will work for the
re-election of President "Wilson and for the
whole Democratic ticket.
Kelly himself, however, has Informed his
friends among the Democrats that he will
not declare for Wilson, but will throw the
strength of his powerful organization In his
district to the support of the Democratic
State ticket If The Democrats place him on
their ticket.- His reason for exempting Wil
son, according to Kelly himself, la the finan
cial support he hopes to receive from the
Prohibitionists. '
The executive committee will meet at 8
o'clock this evening to act upon this. Tha
committee la composed of the following:
Chairman Joseph F. Ouffey, Pittsburgh:
Charles P. Donnelly, Philadelphia; Charles
j- T. McAvoy, Norrlstown; Harry B. Sher-
r wood. Mesnoppen: A. O. Hartman,
Lebanon; Parker It. Skinner, Chambers
burg; E. B. Zimmerman, Shamokln! Ashcr
It. Johnson, Bradford: Charles F. Uhl.
Somerset; James B. McJunkln, Butler, and
"W. Wayne Hindman, Clarion.
The assessment of the postmasters of the
r State and the fact that Vance C. McCor
mlck. Democratic national chairman, passed
through Harrleburg on the fastest train last
night were the tno startling events preced-
lng the formal opening of the Democratic
campaign.
AMOUNT LEVIED SECRET
The amount of the assessment that was
levied Is being closely guarded by the Demo
cratic leadera. They did not hide the fact,
however, that the Democratic postmasters,
who held their annual gathering here yes
terday, were called together on the eve of
today's meeting of the county chairmen and
members of the State committee and the
notification meeting for the State candi
dates for the sole purpose of levying against
the yearly salaries they are drawing
through the grace of the Wilson Adminis
tration and the Falmer-McCormlck machine
, , in Pennsylvania.
Palmer, Ouffey and Fourth Assistant
Postmaster James I. Blakealee attended the
afternoon session of the postmasters, and
also spoke at the postmasters' banquet last
' Bight
As a result of their visits to their ap
' polntees, they feel encouraged to make the
prediction early today that the opening of
the Democratlo campaign will be enthusi
ast la I--,
( It Is feeing said today that perhaps their
Judgment of the enthusiasm Is based upon
the fact that Palmer, Ouffey and Blakealee
were loudly cheered by the postmasters
very time their names were mentioned
yesterday,
BEHIND CLOSED DOORS
After the baniuet last night the post
masters walkedInto the Democratic State
headquarters on Market square and paid
Uwlr assessments behind closed doors.
The entire problem of financing the Demo
ratte campaign In Pennsylvania has the
Democratic leaders worried. Their cam
paign fund is small, according to .he
leaders, and It has been suggested, at least
at this gathering, that every Federal oirice
kokUr In Pennsylvania, will be assessed aa
heavily as possible to help defray expenses
this lull. '
.It expected that between 1000 and 1800
' jsroealaent Democrats from all part of the
State will attend today'a meeting, Every
county ohalrman will be present, for the
rt time In the history of the Democratlo

REVEALS GENERAL
PR0BENT0 RUSES
Supremo Court to Hear
Charges of Aid to
Students .
LAWYER FLEES CITY
Kvldence Is being gathered by tho State
Board of I.nw Kxamlners, It becumo knqwn
today, against n number of persons who are
accused of frauds In connection with their
vxamlnattons to become members of the
h.ir, As soon as this evidence Is in shape
It will ba presented to the Supremo Court
Announcement of tho Investigation wns
made by Charles L McICeehnn, secretary of
the State Hoard of Law Kxamlners, today
nflor It became Itnpwn that Hdwln K.
Adams, a younr lawyer nf'thts city, had lm
penonated C. 0. A. Baldl. Jr., n City Coun
cilman. In his examinations for admission
to tho bar.
Sinco charge! wero made against Adntm.
who had nn ofllce In the Real Estate Trust
Ru ldlng, ha has left the city llaldl has
mado n clean confession ns to tho part he
played.
"Sovoral weeki ago," said Mr. McICeehan,
"I received Information of Improper con
duct on tho part of n number of persons
in connection with tho examinations con
ducted by the Slate Board of Law Kxnm.
Iners. I havo been Investigating the wholo
matter carefully, nnd when tho evidence
Is In shnpo It will bo submitted to tho
bonrtl nnd Supreme Court Meantime, I do
not iloslro to dlRcuss the matter. As for
this morning's publication regarding Mr.
Baldl and Mr. 'Adams, It did not emanate
from me."
It was reported today that the Law As
sociation of Philadelphia would take up
the disclosures In the Baldl case nt Its
next meeting, to be held In the early part
of October.
Baldl Is a member of Common Councils
Trom the Second Ward nnd a candidate for
the State Legislature. Ho Is th'e son of
Chevalier C. C. A. Baldl. a prominent bank
er and leader In th Italian colony. Young
Baldl Is said to havo declared that Adams
had told him "It was a cinch to become a
lawyer."
EXAMINED IN PITTSBURGH.
Baldl, who Is 26 years old and one of the
youngest men who cer sat In City Coun
cils, attended tho Law School of the Unl
lerslty of Pennsylvania for two years fol
lowing" hli groduntlon In 1910 from the Ccn
tral High School, whero he wan president
of his class and an honor student He li
now associated with his father In tho
banking business of C. C. A. Baldl &
Bros, D2S South Eighth street.
It Is alleged that Baldl accepted the serv
ices of Adams after ho had made several
unsuccessful efforts to pass tho illlllcult
examinations Imposed by the State ex
aminers. Because of the fact that both
Adams and Baldl wero known locally. It
was necessary for Adams to go to Pitts
burgh, whero Thomas Stephen Brown,
western member of tho board, conducted ex
umlnattons1. Baldl managed to get permis
sion to be "examined" In Pittsburgh, al.
though he naturally would be expected to
appear before tho examiners In this city.
It Is said the reason he gave was that
ho traveled for his father's bank and would
bo In Pittsburgh at the time of the ex.
nmlnatlons.
FAILS IN TESTS
According to both the allegations and
Baldl's admission, Adams said "It wns a
common thing" for young men to gain ad
mission to tho bar in this State by sending
Into the examination room a man who could
answer the questions correctly. Baldl said
ho paid Adams nothing, although he admit
ted that Adams Eald the financial part
could be fixed up nfter tho "thing wns
oer." But In both the examinations Ad.
ams failed to pass.
Vlto Baldl, a brother of C. C. A. Baldl.
Jr., Bald today that his brother was tutored
by Adams.
"My brother said that Adams suggested
this plan for the examination," said Vlfo,
"He wanted to please my father by passing,
so ho willingly agreed to the proposition.
But my father or none of the other mem
bers of the family knew anything about It
Its all a great surprise to them. At the
ofllces of the Baldl banking establishment
It was learned that C. C. A. Baldl, Jr., was
out of town.
Baldl registered as a preliminary law
student on December 5, 1012. He passed
the preliminary examination successfully.
This examination embraced general aca
demic subjects. On January 21, 1914, he
took out a certificate for final examina
tion. From that dato forward ho faced
the necessity of passing tho rigid legal ex
amlnatton before achieving his nmbltlon to
become a lawyer.
After obtaining permission to be exam
ined in Pittsburgh, Baldl and Adams went
to that city In December. Bnldl last night
declared that Adams paid his own ex
penses there. Baldl remained in Pittsburgh
during the two days' examination, but did
not appear In the room where Mr. Brown
was conducting the tests.
So carefully, It Is eald, was the scheme
operated that Baldl had Adams sign the
certificate for final examination In order
that the handwriting upon that document
nnd the handwriting upon the examination
papers would be Identical.
SECOND ATTEMPT
The December examination was a defeat
for Baldl's hopes. But Adams persuaded
htm that he could pass the next examina
tion In July, Baldl again arranged with
the State board for permission to be ex
amined In Pittsburgh.
Together they made a second journey
there. Again Adams went Into the exami
nation room as C. C. A. Baldl, Jr., and
again the examination marks were (op low
to permit of Baldl's admission.
Shortly after this second failure a mis
spoken word resulted in the detection of
the scheme by members of the State Board
of Law Examiners, who conducted an In
vestigation. It Is eald that it was neces
sary for Mr. Brown to come to Philadel
phia to look at both Baldl and Adams be
fore it was certain that there had been an
actual Impersonation.
Baldl admitted last night that he had
Visited the offices of Charles L. McKeehan,
secretary of the State Board of Law Ex
aminers, where he made a full confession
of the whole business and Implored Mr,
McICeehan to guar1 his secret He further
more said he had offered to write and sign
a full confession as well, as a written pledge
that he would never attempt to enter the
bar of this or any pther State In the Union
If his name could bo shielded. But It was
regarded by members of the State board as
absolutely Imperative that ateps ba taken
to Inform the Court of the conduct of
Adams.
Adams then appeared with a confession
and an appeal for another chance He not
only promised, but made It good, that he
would leave the city .at once, go Into busi
ness In another city in the West forget
entirely his legal aspiration and never
appear before any court again.
Baldl la a handsome youth and Is en
gaged to be Inarrled In November, ;
John. Adams, father of Edwin K. Adams,
aid last night that he knew nothing of
the affair, but confirmed the statement that
his aefi had gone West. He said he did not
know In what lty be had located. Adam

strike-breakers were discharged as a result
of warning that the city authorities would
not permit tho operation of cars by in
experienced crews.
By 8 a. m. 144 surface cars were In
operation. The entire front of each car
was protected by heavy wlro netting to

LABOR BALKS AT AID
GIVEN BY PREACHERS
Continued from Pate One,
and their faces bore a disappointed look
when thty were told they could not get
on the job. The RoV. Holmes F. Gravatt,
pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal
Church, and tho Rey Oeorgo Hemingway,
of the First Presbyterian, began work Im
mediately and were sawing and hammer

fellow ministers were trying to aejust
The tabernacle site Is at Newton and
Wright avenues. The preacher had decided
that their assistance would pot only effect
economy in the construction of the building,
but that It would be an evidence of their
seriousness of purpose n co-operating with
the evangelist
The carpenters said they were In Ym,
pathy with the religious movement and that
they would gladly contribute to the fund,
but they could npt under such circum
stance sacrifice the principles of unionism.
While several of the pastors were at work
and the carpenters etood Idly by, the Rev.
Robert Zebley and the Rev, Homer IL

FOOD VENDERS FINED
FOR EXPOSING WARES
Continued from Pare One.
but tho procession wns broken up when
scernl of tho parnders tried to leave tho
line. The march was halted whllo three
patrol wagons were summoned, and the
merchants, lenvlng their carts behind them,
were driven to the court.
Some of the prisoners escaped In the
excltoment. The Inspectors made n record
of their license numbers. howcer, nnd they
will probably be taken later. A feeble
minded boy wns arrested Ono of the
physicians nnked tho Magistrate to ex
cuse him and he wns freed with the un
derstanding thnt his mother, whom ho
assists at a fruit stand, shall keep him
away from tho market place.
Traffic aloflg Fourth street was suspend
ed as n result of the confusion. The high
way was filled with cabbnges, steaks, candy
and empty market baskets, which tho ven
ders upset and scattered about In their
vain efforts to escape arrest.
Women wero among the list of prisoners
and they shrieked nnd cried ns they were
placed' In the patrol wagons. Ignorant of
the laws of tholr newly adopted land, some
of them fearing they would be sent to Jail
for long'terms, they sent their relatives for
division leadera and lawyers, but few es
caped the money penalty. Tho jirlboners
were arraigned with mechanical regularity.
Aa each of the defendants faced the
magistrate, the prosecuting officers repeat
ed tho formal charge, as they had repeated
It In the previous case and the magistrate
said, "$10 and costs."
Nona of the accused merchants offered
physical resistance when the men arrested
them. Ono of them, however, ran into a
third-story room of a tenement house near
Fourth and Balnbrldge streets. Doctors
Devlin and Martian, physicians connected
with the Bureau of Health, rushed after
him and he was caught and placed In a
patrol.
The raid wos led by Ferdinand Hub
Utz, food Inspector of the Bureau of
Health. Seven physicians accompanied
him, while the single policeman accidentally
at the scene of the excitement gave as much
assistance as ono man could.
Prosecution was undertaken, In ac
cordance wfth the recently enacted ordi
nance of Councils which requires that all
foods sold on the Gtreets must be covered
and that all stands must be at least
eighteen Inches above tho street level. This
law was passed after continued agitation on
tho part of women's clubs.
