PREACHERS TO PROBE
ALLEGED RESORTS IN
WEST PHILADELPHIA
Ministerial Association Will Fol
low Inquiry Suggested by Rev.
A. J. Ferry If Ha Will
Press It
NO "BRASS BAND" PLANS
An Invrstikstlon of the charse that dis
orderly house ar bln conducted In West
l'h Indelphls will he mads by the West
Philadelphia Ministerial Association, Its
president, the Hev. I'hlllp B. OsROod, has
announced. The. Investigation will follow
alonr a line auscested In the charces re
cently made by the nev. Asa J. Ferry,
pastor of Ilethany Temple. Kifty-thlnl and
Spruce streets. If Air. Ferry will press It,
the president said. Mr. Ferry said he would
call upon the association to act "when the
proper time comes."
The police would like to have me no out
with a brass band." said Mr. Ferry, "but t
decline to do that At the proper time I
shall have considerable to say upon'lhe
vice situation, nnd am certain that the
church element w.ll co-operate."
RKADY TO INVKSTICJATt:
Assertions that Mr OsRood had refused
to entertain the charges made by Mr. Ferry
were answered In this way!
"It Is true thai the association has not
Investigated," said Mr. Osgood, "because
nobody has inado such a request. It will
not Investigate unt I Mr. Ferry or some
other member presses Iho matter. Then
the association will gladly co-operate, for
It Is fair to assume that Mr. Ferry will
not make such a request unless he Is con
v.nced that he has good evidence. The
association Is always ready to combat vice.
H conducted a fight against the saloons
In the district and can conduct a fight
against vice If It Is necessary. The ma
ch nery for such work can be obtained If
It is required."
niCIIMOND'S VIEWS
The nev. George Chalmers Richmond, In
a sermon on 'The West Philadelphia Vice
Situation." at 1S11 North logan Square last
night attacked the methods of Mr. Ferry.
He said!
"Mr, Ferry will never become the Park
hurst of West Philadelphia, for Doctor
rarkhurst made, personal nnd mlnuto In
vestigation and found conditions which the
police of New York knew were true be
fore he opened his mouth from his pulpit
In Madison Sqdare. Most spouters splash.
"I have lived In West Philadelphia for
some time, nnd am frequently on Fifty
second street when Brother Ferry and his
good church officials are nicely tucked In
bed. dreaming of their dinner parties, auto
mobile rides and prayer meetings. I eee
crowds of young men. bright, smart fellows,
and somo women, and most of whom appear
quite respectable. Fifty-second street Is a
growing thoroughfare, and you can't expect
to give It the perpetual aspect of a prayer
meeting. I certainly hope not, for I have
been In such meetings when the atmosphere
of unreality, hypocrisy and moral make,
believe was most oppressive.
"We are getting sick of yearly tirades
from rectors nnd pastors who loll all sum
mer by the sea and scold the resf of us on
their return for not being better than
we are."

SEES CITY AS AUTO CENTER

Philadelphia Is destined to be the tend
ing automobile manufacturing city In the
Hast, If not In the whole country, accord.
Ing to Frederick W. Lawrence, secretary
of tho Industrial nureau of the Philadel
phia Chamber of Commerce.
"Slore than 50,000 workmen of varied
attainments have been attracted here in
the last eighteen months," Mr. Ijiwrenfce
said, "and they have added Immensely to
our Industrial strength, Already there Is
nn unmistakable ln of a tendency toward
migration to tho Iut of automobile manu
facturers -from the Middle West,
"Philadelphia unquestionably Is the
most favored eastern city because of sat
Isfactory labor conditions. The largest
manufactory of motortrucks In the world
is located In Philadelphia, which is destined
to be the leading motortruck manufactur
ing center In the country. Tho Philadelphia
motor speedway, now under construction,
will help materially In building up the
automobile Industry In this city."

Perry & Co. today
make announcement of
an
INTENSIFIED VALUE SALE
comprising
THREE THOUSAND
Fall and Winter Suits
at $15
that under all ordinary cir
cumstances would be splendid
values at $20, $22.50 and $25,
and that todays prices for
woolens would make hard
duplicating even at those
prices!
5 Here's something of how we did it. We went
to our favorite mills before they opened to the -regular
trade, made them our proposition, gave
them advance ideas on weaves, styles, patterns,
and placed our orders for thousands and thou
' sands of yards to start on, long before they
would ordinarily be working full time. The
deal was for a concession' upon the THEN
OBTAINING mill prices of $20, $22.50 and
$25 goods, prices no mill will accept today for
duplicate fabrics.
J Here's what we got As fine a lot of plain
and mixed worsteds, blue serges, thibets, cassi
meres, flannels and cheviots as ever went into
$20, $22.50 and $25 Suits! And the models are
as stylish as the fabrics are fine I Young men's
patterns with all the little newnesses of 1916;
fashionable and conservative cuts for mature
men 3000 Suits to select from, at, the
One Uniform Price
&
$15
V
4 '
every one of them fresh and new on
our counters this, morning; every one
of them over and above our regular
stock of $15 suits; every one of them
a Special Intensified Value never be
fore offered for sale at any price,
either here or elsewhere, before this
Monday morning!
NOW, GO TO IT
As in former Intensified Value Sales, so in
this the Suits sold on Monday will make Tues
day's selling bigger; the Suits sold Monday and
Tuesday will send us a larger number of buyers
Wednesday, and so on in increasing' crowds
every day this week. Therefore, as a mattsr'irf
mere prudence, don't delay! The earlier yew
come the better!
