iV BUSINESS MEN'S GUEST

Politics, official Indifference and contrac
tors nrs dlrtctlx responsible) for bad street
eleanlne; In this city, according; to Harvey M.
Watts, a prominent publicist and traveler,
whe spoke today at the luncheon of the
Walnut Street Business Association, held at
the St James Hotel.
Mr. Watts displayed tiro photographs as
an exhibit showing: how At was collected
from the streets In Ilerlln, and how the
"white wlnrs" do their work In ThlladeU
phla. The picture of the American "white.
wing" street sweeper was snapped recently
at Eleventh and Walnut streets, and shows
how dlrt'was being placed In a canvas bag
without any cover and which la attached
to a two-wheel cart. The picture of the
Berlin street sweeper showed him neatly
dressed, with his coat buttoned, and the,1
dirt In a box which Is carefully covercu
before It Is placed on a wagon,
Jtembers of the Walnut Street Association
were urged by Mr. Watts to Insist on better
Work from the contractors. If the fault lies
with them, and also to demand a revision
of all city ordinances that Interfere In any
way with keeping the streets clean as well
as safe.
The Issue of n better systetn. of cleaning
the streets should, also be presented to the
Mayor, said Mr. Watts. The speaker de
clared the Mayor was directly responsible
foj the welfare of the cltliens from a sani
tary viewpoint.
"Unfortunately." said Mr. Watts, "we are
all so good-natured and easy-going that we
are now being asked to co-operate. We
hear of movements In different cities about
starting co-operation through which the resi
dents of Philadelphia will be benefited. This
Is all splendid, Hut vhnt Is the result. You
have committees formed apd present peti
tions here and there. Ttys continual dupli
cation of committees to help out tho city Is
getting to be nonsensical. It Is either an
easy way of officials putting off something
they do not wish to do or else It makes all
of us absolute accessories after the fact."
"One of the greatest nuisances In Phlla
.delphla Is the misuse of the streets by build
ing operations. Another misuse was the
dust nuisance."
Mr. Watts said that the German street
weeper was trained In discipline, and that
ho was trained Just how to collect dirt and
deposit It In wagons In such a manner that
It Is not offensive to the passerby.

MAN WHO KILLED HER FATHER
Americo Rochi, Forced to Slay Arasema Trano to Save
Protege From Attack, Quickly Acquitted.
Swamped With Kisses and Embraces
How could I be angry with my guardian,
although he did kill my own father? Did
he not do It to save me? Think of all he
has gone through since the shooting and
you will understand readily that I., have
no enmity for Americo noch,l and think him
the best and kindest man on earth."
Such was the statement made today by
sixteen-year-old Julia Trano, a pretty little
Italian girl, at Hochl's confectionery store,
2027 North Klghteenth street, tlochl. the
girls guardian, was acquitted by a Jury
before Judge Flnletter yesterday for kill
Ing Arasema Trano, her father, on April
12 The verdict was rendered wlthouuthe
Jury leaving the box. the trial lasting ll,ttle
more than an hour. Hochl at once was
hugged and kissed and swamped with con
gratulations. Feeling In his favor had been
strong since, the start.
The shooting occurred In nochl's store.
Trano had Jut been released from the
penitentiary, where he had been sent for
attempting to assault his daughter. The
girl had been put Into a Cathollo home and
then was taken Into nochl's home. Trano
called upon the girl to leave Itochl and
return to live with him. When she re
fused he slashed her twice with tf rator
and fired two shots at Rochl, who had
come to her rescue. The men grappled
and Rochl killed Trano with his own, re
volver ,
"I would not' leave the Rochl home for
anything." the girl said. "I have known
nothing but kindness since t have been
hert. I do not hate the memory of my
father, but I have no lll-wlll ngnlnst Rochl
for acting as he did."
Julia has a small scar on her cheek, evl
dence of the attack.

This is the house, situated in a little court between Race, Vine, Front and
Second streets, involved in a dispute between certain neighbors living in
Spring and Florist streets.
TENANT OF FRANKLIN'S OLD HOUSE
WOULD FORGET QUARREL OVER FENCE
- -.i i. -II.. i -
Mrs. arnskofF, Who Doesn't Speak English and Never
' Met Poor Richard, Displays Canny Sense of Famous
Diplomat and Inventor.
Benjamin Franklin would be much
pained If- lie were alive today and listen-'
Ing to the wrangling of those who live
In the nelghbprhood of his old home down
In Brooks's court. You won't find that
court listed In the street directory, but that
is what the neighbors call tho tiny
thoroughfare between Spring and Florist
streets, and Front and Second,
The neighbors have an old, old quarrel
nbout some back fence which Involves this
little byway where Franklin's old-tlmo
house still stands and wherf he used to
trudge.
The quarrel Is too Involved to explain
here. Kven Judge Patterson couldn't un
derstand It when It was brought before him
In Common Pleas Court nnd begged for
time to get the thing straight
The various litigants explained It all at
length to a reporter this morning. They
didn't make It very clear, however, and,
anyway, the quarrel Is only Interesting- be
cause It affects the street wherein Frank
)ln's house stands.
SUITS AND COUNTER-SUITS
The atmosphere Is very strained down
there. Several. Mrs. Mackllns, Mrs. Ford.
Mrs. Sheedy, Mrs. Qlbbs. Mrs. Cleaver all
living In Florist or Spring streets, around
tho corners from Brooks's court, as they
.call It have su.ts and counter-suits, ac
tions without number against each other,
all on account of this fence trouble, and
the more they tell one about It the less It Is
understood.
The only really calm person in the neigh
borhood Is no other than the tenant of
Franklin's very house. She would delight
Ben If he could be here. That wise old
philosopher, It will be remembered, was
somewhat of a compromiser, and a com
promise Is what Mrs. I. Barnskoft thinks
ought to be employed.
Franklin, a broadmlnded man beyond
dispute, might, nevertheless, have shown
a bit of pique If he had strolled In Brooks's
court this morning; pique because of the
little this tenant,, In a house once his,
knew of him. She admired his Ideas with
out knowing they were his.
liNOWS NO ENGLISH
Mrl BarnskoR comes from OXuasIa and
knows nq English. So the Interviewer talked
to her In hls-weak-German, which she knew
well, and. at the end asked It she felt
very proud for herself and her little daugh
ters to be living In the house where the
great Benjamin Franklin UVed.
The lady hesitated, gave one of those
expressive Slavic shrugs with her broad
shoulders, and answered:
"It doesn't amount to much;, I never met
him."
Neither had her little girls. ,
There seems Jo be a wide field for the
Americanization committee down there.
The question was forgot, but It a a pretty
safe bet, without having asked Mrs. Barn
ekoff. that she never noticed the sign on
the top of her dwelling giving .the Informa
tion, that Benjamin Franklin went there
about the year 1723 and remained for
some three years. It was when he first
cams' .here. -
Walking through the neighborhood Is like
being in the labyrinth school children read
about. There seem to be a million and
one streets, nil of them so narrow that they
can bo straddled from curb to curb with
eaHe.
The geography of It bothered Judge Pat
terson as much as the facts. Ho probably
will go down as his own Investigator.
MRS. LE DUC TO RETURN HOME

The police guard (vhlch has been about,
Mrs. Joseph C. Le Due In the Jefferson Hos-'
pltal since the Hotel Walton tragedy. Sep

Will Enjoy, and Your Children Need It
MUSIC is a necessity in the well-balanced
development of mind and body; it
draws the family more closely together,
strengthening the bond of sympathy between
you and yours, and your friends. An hour's
music sets the children at their studies with new vim
and enthusiasm, and strips the years from the older
folks, meeting their varied moods, stimulating or
soothing the spirit as nothing else can.
This winter YOU can share in the pleasure that music
