In Philadelphia within the next twenty-four
hours, Mr. Garbartno said.
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.

"Dick Barrett and Ed A ard J. Thompson
also confessed when we put pressure on
them. We showed them wher they were
due for a six years' stretch In the peniten
tiary and they couldn't talk fast enough."
All the prisoners are exceptionally well
dressed, good-looking and polished. In their
apartments were found lavish wardrobes,
which might mak.e the moat fashionable
society bud envious. They evidently lead
lives of leisure. The prisoners all refused
to talk, and have engaged one of the best
known criminal lawyers In Chicago to de
fend them,
Sensational disclosures are promised
when the Inner workings of the band are
brought to light, From one rich New
Yorker alone. It Is said. $40,000 was ob
tained by members of the gang, who, pos
ing as Secret Service men, oauglit him in a
compromising position' with an attractive
young woman In an Atlantlo City hotel.
The woman was a member of the gang.
The "Peacock Alleys" of New York, Phil

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.

CHEAPER GAS FIGHT
WILL GO TO COUNCILS
North Philadelphia Business
Men Ask That Expert
Probe Be Made
Plans for a clty-wlde fight to force a
tower gas rate with no diminution of the
money tho city now receives from the
United Gas Improvement Company are be
ing prepared today by members of the
North Philadelphia Business Men's Asso
ciation. 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.
Edward F. Zelgler, president of the
North Philadelphia association, said: "The
price of gas can be cut twenty cents nnd
the U. G. I. will still make a profit. If the
United Business Men's Association refuses
to get Into the movement the aid of Indi
vidual organizations will be solicited."
Bookings Already Made for
Passage Abroad to See Great
Battlefields Immigrant

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.
