Lieutenant of Detectives James Scanlln recalled today how Mrs. Kllpper, said to be heiress to more than $550,000, complained V him of being swindled out of $1500 "at a clip" last February. Lieutenant Scanlln told also of how she had fainted In Cen tral Station when Informed that Frederick Crocker, who posed as n IloMoil millionaire and who had been paying her marked at tention, was none other than a confidence man well known to the police. The workings of the gang wero explained In a thrilling way by Mrs. Kllpper. She was Introduced to Crocker by a clerk In a New Tork hotel, she said. Crocker, she explained, had all the appearances of a well bred and highly educated gentleman. He seemed to have plenty of money and gave lavish entertainments to his many friends. Mrs. Kllpper soon was Included In the number. Mrs. Kllpper told of how Crocker Induced her. with others, to come to Philadelphia, anil then, when here, decided to give a, large theater party In New York, to which she went. It was evident, the police say, that the trips made between the two cities were only for the purpose of exposing Crocker's guests to seeming violations of the Mnnn act The swindling of Mrs. Kltppor, according to Lieutenant Scanlln, took plnce both In New York and this city. While stopping nt the New Ycrl: hotel she was accosted by two men posing us Federal ngents. They told her that Crocker was to be arrested. Sho was then ordered from the hotel hy n third man who posed as the hotel proprietor. This man. none other than George Irwin, then brought her to Philadelphia and of fered to drop the "charge" against Crocker for $1500. She drew the money from n Chestnut street bank and handed It to Irwin He had asked for $10,000, but compromised for $1600. Irwin, she said, then put her on a train at Uroad street station, but she returned to Philadelphia ard laid the matter before Lieutenant Scanlln. Khe believed that Crocker was Innocent, but when shown a po lice picture of him as a confidence man, she swooned. Scanlln arrested Irwin while at the Re publican Convention In Chicago. Crocker had been arrested previously In 'Palm Beach. When the latter heard, of Irwin's arrest he told his story to the New York authorities and Identified Irwin. William Butler, said to be one of the same organisation, was arrested In Phila delphia, posing as a Federal officer and at tempting to mulct Mrs. J. Bolton Win penny, a wealthy widow, out of a big sum of money. Mrs. Wlnpenny charged that Butler came to her and showed her n United States warrant for the arrest of her son on a Mann act charge. He offered to drop the charge on the payment of $8000. When she protested she did not have that much money they offered to compromise for $5000. .MSXBSm.

He had been 111 several months of a complica tion of diseases. Mr. Low's most recent activities were In an effort to find a solution of the differences between the rnllrond brother hoods and tho railroads. He had long been consulted by heads of tho brotherhoods. Friends attributed Mr. Low's Illness to a general breakdown. Slnco the outbreak of the wnr lie had been csnectallv active ns president of the New York Chamber nf Com merce and president of the National Civic Federation. He was chairman of tho ex rcutlvo committee of Tuskegee Institute, deltgate-nt-large to the recent New York State constitutional convention and a mem ber of a Ooernment commission appointed to Investigate labor troubles In Colorado.

Born In Brooklyn on January 18. 18S0. Mr. Low came of n long lino of merchant princes nnd men of culture. Youns Low was educated at tho rolytechnlc Institute) In Brooklyn and then at Columbia, from which ho graduated In 1870. In college he had been distinguished both ns a student and an athlete. He excelled In tennis and football, bowling and bllllardH. and on the gridiron he often lined up against tho her culean form of Hamilton Fish, On leaving Columbia. Mr. Low went to his father's business house, .entering as a clerk and traversing all the grades until he was finally head of the firm. In the meantime he became greatly Interested In public life, particularly In Brooklyn charities. In 1878 he organised and became the first president of the Brook lvn Bureau of Charities. It was during the campaign of Garfield for President, In 1880. that Mr. Low first became prominent In politics. A "Young Re publican Club" was organized In Brooklyn to promote the Clarfleld campaign and Mr. Low was selected ns president. He and his club Insisted that the Improvement of civic government could bo accomplished only by disregarding party tines and national la sues, so far as municipal nffnlrn were con cerned. The principle nt that time was new, and Mr. Low's leadership In the move ment resulted In his election as Mayor of Brooklyn by the regular Republican and Independent forces. In 1883 ho was re elected for a second term. He stood Insist ently for business principles In local affairs, and carried the municlpat administration In Brooklyn to such a high point ot effi ciency that he was highly praised. He married, In 1880, Miss Annie Wroe Scollay Curtis, of Rostot, daughter of Jus tice Benjamin Robins Curtis, ot the United States Supremo Court. AUTUMN HESORTS fll'RINU LAKE BEACH, N. J.

Mfav UL BOSTON, Mass., Sept. 18. The Boston Traveler prints the following: "Mayor James M, Curlev, of Boston, one of the three memoers of the local Board ot Censorship, went to Washington a month ago to lobby for the photoplay "Where Are My Children?" which has been a storm cen ter ot protest during Its run In Boston and which was condemned In strong terms three weeks ago by delega'es to tho Federa tion of Catholic Societies at their New York convention. He called on United States Senator Boles l'enrose, Republican boss In Pennsylvania, and told tho Senator he had nn Interest In the production." He asked Mr. Penrose's Influence In get ting the film admitted by the State Board of Censors In Pennsylvania, The board had twice barred the film as being too rotten for production. It rejected It a third time In a much revised form. The Mayor obtained a letter from Penrose, with whom he bad never talked before, to J, Louis Breltlnger, of Philadelphia, chair man of the Pennsylvania Board of Censors. Breltlnger Is a close friend of Penrose. POLITICAL ACTIVITY Dr. Kills P. Oberholtzer, of Philadelphia, nnd Mrs. II C . Ivcr. of Pittsburgh, the other members of the Pennsylvania Boaid of Censors, told a Traveler reporter that Breltlnger explained to them when the oft barred film came up for the third time that Mayor Curley had a flnanciat Interest In the photoplay. In discounting the efforts of the, film's promoters to clt Boston as an example of censorial tolerance toward "Where Are My Children," Deputy Attorney General Joseph I,. Kun told President Judge Charles Y. Audenreld last Saturday that lie "un derstood the Mayor ot Boston has a 'stake' In It." A vigorous effort was made during the last week to get legal permission to show the film In Pennsylvania. It Is said that certain politicians had suddenly become busy In an attempt to force this film upon tho people of that State despite the action of the eensors In thrlco condemning It as Indecent. The visit of a Traveler repre sentative to Philadelphia brought this effort to n hasty climax last Saturday. Senator Penrose received tho Traveler representative In his Philadelphia ofllce. "Yes, Mayor Curley came to see me less than a month ago," replied the G. O. P. boss, when asked If Boston's Mayor and censor had called upon him In Washington recently to secure his Influence In having the film produced In Pennsylvania. "He told me he had nn Interest In the film. OAVU LETTER TO CURLEY "I gave him a letter to Mr. Breltlnger, of Philadelphia, chairman of the Board of Censors. It wan In Washington that Curley called on me. I had never seen him be fore. "He said he was anxious to have the film produced In Pennsylvania and explained that It had been turned down by our Cen sorship Board. I don't know the extent of his interest In the film. He didn't tell me. I gave him a letter and dismissed the mat ter from my inlnd." What Curley did with the Utter could not be learned. Chairman Breltlnger first de nled that ho had ever seen Boston's mayor, or had ever communicated with him. Later he admitted having written to him. When told that Penrose admitted giving Curley a letter addressed to him, Breltlng became incommunicative. He refutett to discuss the matter further. It Is said that mysterious things were happening In the Philadelphia quarters of the Censorship Board which Dr. Obetholtter nnd Mrs, Niver could not explain. "Where Are My Children?" was being brought for ward again, although there was no apparent reason for tt. Mysterious orders were be ing gUen to employes which Mrs. Nlver and Dr. Oberholtser could not fathom nnd did not like. Laat Friday It was announced that ths Humanity Film Company, which claims ownership of the film, desired to have It viewed for the third time, In revised form, by the censors. Thnt was done and It was again turned down as Improper for the pub lic. APPr.AI, TO COUItTS Then a most unusual thing occurred, An appeal waa taken and the following morn ing named for a hearing. Ordinarily It takes many days and sometimes weeks for nn appeal In be heard by the Court of Common Pleas. The Traveler representative was Informed that his presence In Philadelphia had brought the matter to a head, Judges Au denreld nnd W. W. Carr heard the evi dence, then viewed the "cut" film nnd an nounced that they would confer today. If the censors are reversed. Deputy Attor ney Kun will appeal to the Supreme Court, he told a Traveler man. That much money has been spent In rennsvlvanla to get tho film Into that Stato wan hinted by various officials with whom n Traveler representative talked. Chairman Breltlnger raid that one man told htm he was Informed the film could get by the board If 88000 was spent. Breltlnger asked the man why he didn't try, that It would be worth 86000 to try the experiment. He gave the Inference that the money would be lost without result. Doctor Oberholtzer declared he had been told the owners ot the film expected tn make 150.000 or more In Pennsylvania If it was permitted In any form.

A resolution asking Councils to join In th battle for lower gas rates will be pre sented to that body next Thursday by a special committee of the North Philadel phia Business Men's Association. The resl lutlon follows: "We request the Mayor and City Councils to appoint a commission of experts to In vestigate the cost of manufacturing and distributing gas In this city and to use their power to bring about a reduction In the present price of gas without the loss ot revenue to the city." George B. M. Swift, secretary of the North Philadelphia Business Men's Asso ciation, said todsy that the Mayor and the United Business Men's Association had been nsked to co-operate In the movement.

Bookings Already Made for Passage Abroad to See Great Battlefields Immigrant to Return Homo MAY SPEND $100,000,000 NEW YOHK. Sept. II. Millions of del , tars poured Into this country by warrls European powers for munitions are te be poured back Into Europe nt the end ef the war by American tourists nnd Immigrant aliens, who will "return to their home cfi tries to aid In the work of rehabilitation. American curiosity to see famous battle fields nnd the desire or aliens to play a part In rebuilding the war-torn cities of their countrymen will send money flooding back to Europe, according to Indications nt steamship offices here today. Taking as an estimate, as viewed by steamship officials, that 100,000 Americans will visit Europe the first year after ths war. and that they will spend nn average of 11000 each. $100,000,000 will be returned to the European countries within twelve months after peace Is restored. Europe will, of course, be n greater show place than ever before after the war. steam- ship men point out, and considering th wealthy Americans who will visit the conti nent ns well as those of more moderate means, the estimate of (1000 each as the amount they will spend Is regarded as low. Inquiries and applications for passage on the first ships to rail from the United States after the war are rolling Into the booking offices by hundreds, and causing stesmshlp companies to make every prep aration to handle the biggest transoceaa trafilo In history. But two companies, the North German Llojd and the Hamburg-American Line, are actually accepting tentative bookings. In the face of the uncertainty as to the termination of the war. These bookings are being made In the order of-receipt and are subject to cancellation. The North German Lloyd has 107 passengers booked for the first vessel to sail after the close of hostilities. The International Mercantile Marine now has four ships under construction and ten tative plans are ready for the construction ot several more to handle the anttelpated rush of traffic from America, to Europe and the flood of European goods which will be thrust upon the American market. Cunard nnd Anchor Line officials natd they were prepared to handle heavy traffic and that their vessels were being kept In shape thnt they may be put In service Im mediately an armistice, or peace la de clared. ' Inquiries coming to the offlco of C. B. Steck, of the Cunard Line, Indicate that many of those desiring to return to 'Europe Immediately after the close of the war are foreigners who have come to America, be come wealthy and now want to go to their home countries and aid In the work of rehabilitation.
