FIREMEN OPENING
HEAVIERATTACK
Committee Calls in Person
Upon Chairman Gaffney
to Solicit Support
SEEK INSURANCE AID
Stnrc forceful measures for tlia conduct
of IhPir (.imrnlRti were empln.ctl toiliy by
the rmrmlttec of firemen bavins In charge
the i)io"?prtitlon nf the movement to secure
fiom 'it Councils n mom ndtqunto recog
nition of Hie Hurcati of Fire.
Kihyiui.ikpu' bv tha evidences of popular
support nntl convinced that public Rontlmenl
hni been nronteil to n FUtllclent degree In
their fnvor, the committee, bended by Uat
tallon Thief .Tobn .t. Mcslclll. is t,eUlnp out
upon Uint IN memberf believe Is tbc "borne
strclcb" of a u limine contest.
lteporu recehed up to today nt tbo com
nil'teea liradquarters from nil parts of tbo
city wra decidedly oiitlmlstlo Ih tenor. The
various petitions circulated in behalf of tin
firemen have encountered no opposition, but
have found sluners nmoiiB business men and
property holders everj where.
The slnple Impediment to an open nvownl
on the part of Iie3ltatlnR Councilman, tbo
committee believes, Is duo to a disposition
on the part of tbeio IcRtslntors to Include
the police In any measure providing for a
.ninhv inirifiKp At thin tlmo the, outlook
does not forecast a sum remaining nbovo
the 1317 budget Riiflloiont to caro for tbo !
men of both bureaus.
In the event that this condition Is re
vealed when tbo City Controller's books nro
opened for the current year, the llremen's
cnmnnlteeo Is determined to place on rec
otd the Councllmen, especially the mem
bers of the Finance Committee as to their
views In such a contingency.
A largo number of Councllmen stand
pledged to support tbo firemen, regardless
of the case of tbo polloimen. Others, taking
the recent utterances of Stato Senator Kd
wln H. Varo as their RUlde, have said they
favor salary Increases In both pollco and
(lro bureaus.
Determined that thcro shall o no mistake
In their forward movement as the. campaign
draws near its end, the llremen's commit
tee today visited tho ofllco of Josehp P.
Gaffney, chairman, of Councils' Committee
on Finance. Later personal appeals were
mado by tho committee to other leading
members of both chambers of Councils In a
movement to havo those Individuals declare
themselves on tho Hide of tho fhemen. re
gardless of tho fato of tho pollco campaign.
Tho firemen nro not Interested In tho ef
forts of tho pollco to obtain inoro money.
Thev dcclaro that tho bluecoats themselves
have manifested littlo energy in their own
behalf and that tho public response has been
absolute sllcnca.
The police, working under an eight-hour,
three-platoon system, with a substitute list
to supply vacanoles, have no Just ground for
asking public or councllmanlo favor at this
time, tho liremen declare.
N'clthcr In duration nor In hazard does
their labor compare with that of tho fire
man, they nssert, while) tho character of
tho duty performed by tha pollco shows
to their disadvantage besldo that rendered
v the shorthanded, and overworked llro
bureau
Public, opinion recognizes this disparity
in conditions, tho liremen say, to an extent
that should Justify any Councilman at this
tlmo In voting to increaso tho payroll and
leadjust tho hours In tho Bureau of Fire,
irgardless of tho action taken to benefit tho
police.
Chief Mcsklll nnd bis associates on tho
campaign committee this week will take
up the task of canvassing tho flro Insuranco
district with a iov to securing the united
support of tlat lino of business. Conditions
existing In tho bureau, rovcnled through
their campaign of publicity, the committee
feels ns.sured, will bring to their aid tho
co-operatlou of every Insurance concern
doing business In this city. "Thcro arc tnat
teri that we could explain to tho Insurance
men that wo would not dare discuss through
the papers." bald a member of the com
mittee "These conditions, if urged by tho
underwriters and their friends, we nro cer
tain would Impress upon Councils, as a
matter of protection as well as of Justice,
the necessity of immediate remedy. Such
lelief, of course, would Include tho two
objects of our campaign. "We havo refrained
from using our heavy artillery thus far, be
causo we havo hoped all along that Coun
cils would act without calling upon us
to lay bare to tho public all that lies
baack of nur movement, Tho entrance of
tbc Insurance men Into tho fight, however,
will undoubtedly open tho eyes of tho citi
zens of Philadelphia to tho many needs of
the bureau needs that tho public littlo
dreams of, and which are but slightly thort
of cilminal In their ery existence
"We havo based our plea thus far on
the argument of Justice and fair play,
us well as the dignity and safeguarding of
the city, but we havo kept the latter tvvo
Issues In tho background. If they nro
placed in tho forefront, wo aro convinced,
the only posslblo outcome will bo an ex
pression of Indignation nnd n demand for
betterment so emphntic that no Councilman,
no matter how callous or Indifferent ha
yiay be. can afford to disregard them."
M'NABBTOWN DOOMED
TO LIMBO OF HAS-BEEN
Picturesque Tract on Reading
Railway at Chew Street, Ger-
mantown, to Be Playground
McNabbtown Is doomed to slip Into the
past In place of tho queer and picturesque
community, located on tha liigh bank bor
dering tho Philadelphia and Iteadlne Hall
way nt Chew street, Germantown, will rlso
a modern playground for tha children.
McNabbtown. bs It Is more commonly
known. Is a mtja thlrty-acro estate that
has been tho scene of much Germantown
history and tha subject of many puns be
loved by the residents of Germantown.
Tho thirty or more framo houses, tha old
well, the old residents, nnd even tha mod
trn pump that the health authorities in
sisted be erected despite the protest lot the
Inhabitants, are doomed.
Tha little settlement Is on the estate of
tho late Mrs. Mary A. McNabb, who pro
vided In her will that the buildings be razed
and a playground bo erected.
There were tears In tha eyes of the
Mayor of McN'abbtown, when Interviewed
about tha close of tha town. He Is George
If McKelvey, and has held the office by
common consent for several years.
"It has been tho homo of many of these
families for more than fifty years. They
love every Inch of It. even the hlsh red
wooden fence that hides It from the gen
eral gaze of tho public. Wo hail plenty of
fresh air up here on tho hill, and it Is good
exercise to climb here on our way home
every day "
Amid the strong odor of tobacco in Kelly's
store, where the community news Is scat
tered most freely, it was learned from sev
eral residents that they were told to vacate
within two weeks S3 the city was ready
to take over the property.

ASKS MORE DAMAGES
FOR DEATH OF HUSBAND
Man, Victim of Accident in Steel

Widow Alleges
George T Klauder. rcfereo for tho Work
men's Compensation Hoard, heard the case
this afternoon of a widow whose hus
Nind received compensation for tho loss of
an oyo and died later from poisoning. She
maintained that thn poison resulted from
tho Industrial accident and tiled a second
petition for larger damages, compensating
her for his death.
Tho woman Is Mrs Annie Kelly, widow
of Joseph Kelly, who was an employo of the
nidvale Steel Works. She has filed tho
claim on behalf of herself and tvvo children.
Tho Keliys live at 1113 Westmoreland

tho Injury Tho agreement was signed by
loth parties and approved by tho Work
men's Compensatldn Hoard. He died later,
however, and Mrs Kelly contended that bis
(tenth was n result of the accident
Whether her contention Is upheld by the
icfereo will be largely determined by the
testimony of a coroner's physician. The
latter performed nn nutopsy In tho caso and
appeared today as a. witness.
ALASKAN DANCE HALL
CALLED MYTH BY GIRL
Mildred II. Lane, Who Went
North for Lecture Material,
Describes Country
Tho danco hall of Alaska, tho dance ball
in which the belles of tho town stand
around the bar between dances. Is a thing
of the past except In the "movies," accord
ing to Mis3 Mildred Hansel! Lane, daughter
of Aleander 11. I.ano. 340 South Seven
teenth street, who recently returned from a
trip to Alaska, whero sho ate caribou meat
and stayed In gold-mino camps to study
conditions.
Miss Lane, who Is a Smith Collego gradu
ato of tho class of 1900, accompanied bv
Miss Margaret Dennlston, daughter of Mrs.
II. 12. Dennlston, of School House Iano. Ger
mantown, went n thouband miles up tho
Yukon and then BOO mllc:f up one of Its
tributaries, tha Tanana Itlver, to Xenaiia,
tho youngest town In the gieat north
country.
Saturday slio will give n lecturo on the
trip at tho Commercial Museum, as tho
only woman uppearlng on tho course this
spring.
Miss Lane, who Is well known in Phila
delphia on account of hor hlx years with
tho Consumers' League, patt of thn time
as secretary nnd part of the tlmn us lec
turer, went to Alaska for the solo purpose
of getting material for lectures.
"Alaska thnt you tea In tho 'movies' is
the Alaska of tho winter time," she fcuid
today "Hut tha Alaska of tho summer is
different. It is wonderful, beautiful nnd
tho flowers there are remail.abe. Tho grass
Is green, the trees nre lovely and the wild
flowers of Alaska rival tiny jnu ever saw.
It gels hot there, too, ..jmetlmes It was
101 In July. The summer labts from May,
whon the ice breaks In the Yukon, to Sep
tember, when it forms again. During that
time the people in tho cities mako mag
nificent gardens, and tho agricultural op
portunities are marvelous. The people raise
lots of lettuce, carrots and cabbage."
Alaska is tho land nf opportunities for
miners, engineers, agriculturists nnd hus
bands, according to Miss I.ane, who tays
that most of tha married women In the
country aro stenographic, school teachers
and missionaries, who went there to cam
$100 to, $150 a month in their particular
vocations nnd met splendid young engineers
and professional men ami married.
The men of Alaska aro fine specimens of
manhood," she said enthusiastically. "Most
of tho men, In the cities especially, are pro
fessional pien. They go thcie with the
avowed purpose of opening up a wonderful
country. They aie the spiiit of tho country.
Alwajs you will hear peoplo talk of the
'Spirit of Alaska.' It Is different than any
other spirit you have ever met. This Is tho
pioneer country of th9 I'nited States now.
They seem to have a mission, tiiesa men
who have gone to open this now countr.
And they are doing it. The resources of
this country aro unlimited. The opportun
ities beyond comparison."
Miss Lane sas tho food and tho cooking
in the gold mine camps sho btudled are
excellent. In fact, she said, If the men do
not have good food they will not work, and
If they will not work there will be no guld
She says the miners welcome straus-rs and
treat them with all courtesy. A meal in a
gold-mtnlng camp consists of !aup, roast
meat, four vegetables one ftesh, the others
canned tea or coffee, and uhuiia pie. She
Is enthusiastic about caribou meat, and
says it Is far superior to venison.
Miss l.ano and Mlu Dennlston traveled
In khaki suits, wearing skirts and hob
nailed leather boots which i cached to their
hips. They had no foot troubles. Miss Lane
says, because they were warned before leav
irg to wear heavy woolen ttockings and
avoid blistered heels.
