ALLENTOWN PAIR DRY
Droaght Relieved After Half
Haur Philadelphia's Prac
tical Joke Goes Too Far
ATXKNTOWN, ra.. 8pt. . After a
MretHtotM Mtf Thursday, Allentown li en
Joyjnr th Hst Jy' of Its fair, the most suc
oeiwirt In K hltory of two-thirds of a
owrturjr. ,
, Many .eeevrrftncea yttterday thrilled the
100,000 attendants, chief among which was
the extiatiitlon 6f the beer mipply at mld
atternoon. Such a thing never before had
happened, and' t waa half an hour beforo
the trucks frpra the breweries brought a
fresh supply.
One of the brewers said he did not caro
any more for Allentown Fair business, be
cause so much of hla glass was lost. People
would buy beer by tho glass or the bottle
and throw the "glass" away. A prominent
business man. stepping Into it broken bottle,
cut hlsffoot so severely that he was taken
to the hospital.
Jt was like Munich no drunkonness nor
fights, but sociable conviviality to the ex
tent of nboit a million beers, reckoning tho
small glasses and high "collars."
Friday Is Allentown pcoplo's own day to
enjoy the fair, and tho attendance was
about 40,000, Including many reunions of
families and clans.
.A. party of forty rhllndelphlans under
the chaperonago, of Tatrlck Cleary had the
time of their lives. They mado the trip by
special car, headed by Captain William J.
UcFadden and Magistrate Jlyron Wrlgley,
and they had an experience with the Alien
town police department which they will not
soon forget.
One of the party undertook a practi
cal Joke-and borrowing the watches of two
others slipped them and his own Into the
pockets of Arthur Mlllhollnnd, tho famoui
"millionaire cop," who was ono of tho
visitors. Tho jokesmltli then hunted up an
Allentown policeman and accused Mlll
holland. The Allentown policeman promptly
arrested tho Indignant Mlllholland and
escorted Mm to tho station. There, to Mtll
holland's. dismay, when he was searched,
the throe watches were found and things
looked black.
'Members of tho party began to explain
It was all a Joke, but the alert Allentown
officers didn't look at It that way, being
convinced they had nabbed a- dangerous
crook. By this time Captain v McFadden
heard of the Joke and put himself to work
to straighten out the affair, but It took tho
combined Influenco of tho Fhlladelphlans to
make tho Allentown police understand that
It was Indeed only fun, and that Mlllholland
was a respectable citizen and valuable
officer, entitled to his freedom.
ST0NEMEN SECEDERS
TO ELECT NEW CHIEF
Dr. P. H. Moore, Named First,
Declares He Will Not Join
Fellowship
The United Protestant Fellowship,
formed of secessionists from the Stone
men's Fellowship, will elect a president at
a mass-meeting at the Scottish Iltte Hall
tomorrow night.
This action "was made necessary through
the refusal of Dr. Philip H. Moore, 9f
Spruce street near Twelfth, to become
president of the organization, although he
was elected by the rebels
"I gave no one authority to name me as
president.' he said. "I have never been
Identified with either organization and don't
Intend to become a member."
Claims of victory over the parent organ
izatlon were made by the rebels, who have
opened headquarters In a garage at 1917
Bouth Seventeenth street
The statement of the Itov. II. C. Stone,
founder of the Stonemen's Fellowship, In
answer to the charges of autocracy and
mismanagement of funds, evaded the Issue,
according to Harry T. Baxter, the rebels'
secretary.

Millie 8. wanta to be good. Six months
ago. somebody gave her a pinch of heroin
to sniff. She did not exactly like It, but
she asked for more. Boon, says Millie,
she wanted It Just as one wants something
to eat, only Millie preferred heroin to food.
About three weeks ago a policeman picked
up Millie, her eyes glazed, her brain stupe
fied. The road led by way of City Hall to
Holmesburg, where Millie has Just com
pleted the dope cure. Her sentence has
some months to go, but Mlfllo Is looking
ahead; she wants to como back and make
good.
"Somebody gave It to mo, a girl here In
Philadelphia," said Millie, who comes from
New York. "Just rtomebody, not anyDody
In particular. I tried a llttlo one day and I
didn't like It It Just makes you sleepy.
I got sleepier and sleepier and I couldn't
do any work. I didn't want anything but
the stuff and I didn't want to do anything.
Then I got out here."
Millie, twenty years of ngo, has had n
rapid recovery. Two weeks In the hospital
at Holmesburg have sufllced to euro tho
habit Today Millie Is only afraid of the
day when she leaves tho gray dormitory.
Because not ono of the persons who knew
the MUlle-that-was knows what has become
of the Mllllo-that-ls.
WANTS TO aO HOMD
"And I want to be good again beforo I
go home," said Millie today. "I couldn't
go home .like this from hero. I want to go
q work. Vnd then seme day when I've got
money saved I'll go homo."
Home to Millie Is somewhero In Ger
many. When twelvo years old sho camo to
America to stay with an elder brother. Sho
went homo oh a visit two yearn later and
stayed there until she was seventeen. Then
she came back to tho United States, to New
York and eventually to Philadelphia, And
then somebody gave her a sniff of heroin.
"I can bow and I can" embroider," said
Millie." I can cook like tho German's cook
'cause my mother taught me. I want to go
home, but I'm afraid. If I work a while
doing housework they'll think I'vo been
doing It all the time. I want to forget it
My brother would never let me como back.
Drothers .aln't mothers and I ain't heard
from my mother and father for more than
a Tear: 'Not since."
ANOTHER CURE
Mlllto Isn't tho only woman who wants to
como back. Jennie Is an old timer. She
has been accustomed to sniff heroin for
more than seven years. A "friend" gave
her a sample sniff ono day. She found It
helped her to sleep. Just a little every
day, but It Wasn't a habit Jcnnlo Insists.
Sometimes she went without It for six
months at a time. Proudly she Insists she
has had the habit for tho last six months
only. Beforo that she was almost all
right.
"Before the Harrison act," explained
Jennie, "I Just bought a little at a time, but
after the act I had to buy It by the bottle.
Then I had It always on hand and I took
more and more. Couldn't get off It.
"Hard to get? Say, It cost five dollars
a small bottlo and It was caster to get the
heroin than It was to get the money.
"You can get It anywhere. I traveled
with my husband In Canada and around
here and I always found It easy.
"I've had the cure. Glad It's over. Got
a brother In the city who said he'd help
me If I was cured. Guess I'm all right now.
Yelled all night In the station house when
they brought me In and screamed all the
way ofit on the boat Went to chapel on
Sunday, and It was hard to sit still, but I
didn't "yell or nothing. I'm cured."
Upstairs In the hospital are several
women linderealne the cure. ' Tlv rilmln.
lshlng tho dose tho women are gradually
weaned of the desire for the drug. Forty
one women during the current year have
taken the euro. Only within the last year
or two haa tho number been Increased to
such proportion.
MANY WOMEN VICTIMS
Twenty-one years ngo," said W. A Tat
terson, superintendent of Holmesburg,
when I first came hero ns guard, there was
not such a person an a woman with the
drug habit But somehow the number
seems to bo Increasing. Wo give them
tho cure, but sometimes, unless the right
friends aro waiting for them, It's mighty
hard for them to do without the dopo.
Their friends even try to get tho dope to
them while they're still here. Under post
ngo stamps, In tobacco plugs prepared for
the purpose, they make a hiding place.
"A tobacco pouch with tho Government
stamp Intact had had Its label removed, a
small holo punched In tho side and several
pills of opium stuffed In. The label was
pasted carefully over tho holo and the bag
of tobacco looked as If it had como straight
from tho shop. One woman brought It out
In an orange sho gavo her husband. An
other had a small bottlo hidden In her hair.
They want It nnd tholr sympathetic friends
try to get It to them. Tho women as well
ns tho men stick together, nnd they never
tell where they get it They never blab."
Mllllo wants nnd needs somebody who
will help her to como back ond bo good, so
that the people nt home need never know.
That's tho main thing. Insists Mllllo.
