SEEN BY JOHNSON
Head of Baldwins Predicts
Elimination of Liquor From
Pennsylvania Under
New Order
TALKS TO P. R. R. EMPLOYES
Tho nrodlctlon tliat Iltpior woulil be ellm
Inatetl from Pennsylvania was made this
afternoon by Alba li. Johnson, president of
thn Baldwin Locomotive Works. In tho
course of nn address before tho Pennsyl
vania ltnllroad ItctirCd Men's Association
at Us nnmlal meeting In the Pennsylvania
Railroad V. M. C. A., b'orly-llrst street and
Westminster nvciiue.
Mr Johnson Hpoko of his . early ex
periences at the Baldwin Locomotive
Works and cited numerous instances to
show that ,pt ogress nnd elllclency ulwnj's
went hand In hand with lh) man of lem
pcratu habits.
"I can recall n saloon til Broad and
Spring Garden streets which was fre
quented by the workmen. They drank and
played cards and used the plncu for a reg
ular clubhouse. Hut hn men who mndii
a practice of going thtno nover obtained
the results which would have come had
they abolished this habit.
"But the old otjler of things has changed
and Investigation has proved that tho man
of steady habits Is tho one who forges to
tho front.
"It's unfortunate that Pennsylvania Is
behind tho other States In liquor reforpi.
But wo can look forward with great con-Uii-ce
to Pennsylvania's Joining her sister
Stales which havo eliminated liquor. Thl
elimination of liquor from the Kcyslon
State is inevitable."
Tho speaker then went otf to show the
good results which come to States which
havo adopted u. temperate pulley. Mr.
Johnson's address was accorded prolonged
applause. One of tho dramatic features of
the meeting was a rollcall on a drum used
In tho Civil War by tho Itov. Dr. Titus
Hess. When tho taps resounded ninety
four veterans, all of whom had seen service
In tho rtrugglo of 'Gl to 'US, rose to their
feet amid cheorn.
Almost 200 members of tho association,
representing more than 8200 jears of ser
vice on the railroad, attended tho luncheon
Among tho well-known members present
were Colonel "William Bender Wilson, tho
historian of tho Pennsylvania Railroad, who
has seen llfty-four years of service. Ho was

from unexpected revenues, to tho Kinking

all the needs for 131", and two sessions will
bo held so that tho financial measures may
be passed beroro the close of business this
afternoon.
A number or incnsures of unuiual Im
portance were reported at the first ses
sion of Councils passed. This Is true
nf the bill appropriating $10,000 for the
employment of accountants to make nn
Investigation and review of the finance
of the Philadelphia Rapid Tranitt Com
pany during tlui last six or eight .veats.
Tho need for haste with this piece of legis
lation has been emphasized by city nltlclals
anxloui to have nil available information
at hand when tho question of the city's
leasing Its lines to tho corporation la
finally hi ought Into Councils.
Thn need for tho employment of expert
Accountants is declared to be due to the
fact that tho city for many years past has
accepted an audit nti'd accounting mode by
a firm employed by the transit company
for tho purpose. Under tho 1907 agree
ment the Controller Is authorized to have
such an audit mado for the city.
Tho first bill of tho new year to pro
vldo for a new position Is one appropriat
ing $3000 to pay tho salary of u supervisor
for the Hoard of Recreation. This Is looked
upon by many Couneilmen as the entering
wedge by which they later hope to forco
through other salary Increases, out of the
many demands that are being mada from
every line of workers. .Mayor Smith Is
expected to approve the bill, thus abandon
ing, for ii thno nt least, his policy of no
new places and no salary increases. The
bill was reported favorably.
FOR GAS PROTECTION
Tho Commlteo on Surveys considered a
bill making It mandatory for owners of
garages and other establishments using gas
oline and other. Inflammable material to In
stall separate underground drainage ss
tems, so as to prevent tho discharge of
the wosto fluid .directly Into tho city

Mayor Smith nnd provides an Initial lino of
$10 and additional ones nt the rate of
$10 a week.

PSYCHOLOGY AND CItLMK
Mrs. Itippin Says- Mental Experts
Should Examine Wrongdoers
How hard It in to know tho sane from
tho Insane was described to tho Ocean
City Yacht Club In tho lintel Adelphln to
day by Mrs. Jane Dceter Rlppin, chief
probation officer of Ihe Juvenile Court. She
deprecated tho custom of allowing attor
neys nnd judges to pass upon criminals
Instead of having psychological experts
examine them.
"Wo do not allow lawyers to diagnose
physical ailments; wo leave that to phy
sicians," she said. "Kven so should wo
havo alienists to exnmlne nnd testify on
the mentality of children or even adults
In our courts. Very often persons who
aro entirely normal In all other respects
may havo some criminal tendency. Wo
need experts to find what It Is. so that

LEAK PROBE DEFERRED;
WILL OBTAIN COUNSEL
Hcnrings to Be Resumed Mon
day Mysterious Woman
Will Testify
WASHINGTON. ! 1 The "leak" In
vcstlgatlon Is at a standstill until the House
Mules Committee obtains the counsel au
thorized yesterday. A score of prominent
witncSEes. Including Wnll street operators,
bankers, brokers, editors nnd others, will
be excused this morning, stibjeel to catl of
the committee. No more public hearings
nre expected this week. Neither branch of
Congress will be In session Saturday ns
adjournment Is planned out of respect to
Admiral Dewey, whose funeral will be held
nt tho Capitol. It Is planned to resume the
hearings .Monday
The task of obtaining counsel for the
Utiles Committee has proved a difficult one
The question of veracity which has been
raised between Chairman Henry nnd
Thomas W. l.awson and repeated charges
nf Republican partisanship from Democratic
members of the Investigating committee
have served to complicate the work of the
Itliptlry. Tito aim now Is lo obtain the type
of counsel described by lleptcsentntlve
l.etirool, Itepubllcnti member of tho com
mittee, ns one so rpiallfled as to be nccept
nblc. not only to the Democratic nnd He
lilllitlcnii members of Congress, but to both
sides of the House .mil the committee at
large.
Tho keenest disappointment, so far as
the public In attendance on the hearings is
concerned. Is due to the fact that It hna
not vet hntl the opportunity to hear the
testimony of Mrs. Ilulli Thoninion Vlscontl,
the mysterious woman tunned by l.awson ns
milhorlty for bis statement that W. W.
I'ticp. a White House newspaper corre
Hpondent. was a "go-between" in workings
nf the "leak" between Washington and Wall
street. Ir was this woman, according to
l.awson. who said Price if reived for his
service $6000. and that Tumulty, tho presi
dent's secretary, got "much more."
Airs. Vlscontl has been found nnd sub
poenaed to appear before tho committee, but
she W In deep seclusion at present. Humors
were rife heie today that another woman
might appear before the committee soon
nnd that her testimony would rival that
expected from Mrs. Vlscontl. An effort Is
being made to locale her now. She Is be
lieved to bo In New York at present.

MS. SANGER WON'T
VISIT PHILADELPHIA
Lack of Support Here Again
Frustrates Her Ambition to
Teach Philadelphians
By M'LISS
Home say It's because of Ihe good sense
of Philadelphia ; others declan It's because
of a certain Quaker City prudery that can't
be downed, but, nt any rate, Mrs. Mar
garet Hanger. blrthVontrol advocate, of
New York, Is not, coming to speak In Phila
delphia, on January 20. ns she had planned.
This Is the second time that Mrs. San
ger's ambition to tell this city something of
what she told the women of New York
before the police got on her trail has been
frustrated.
Lack of encoutagement Is given as tho
reason for the postponement of her lecture,
which was lo have been on "Aly 'lght for
Hlrth Control."
Tho first setback came when Ihe com
mittee of bondholders of Parkway Hall, ot
which Illchard Cadwalader Is chairman, re
fused lo rent tho hall to Mrs. Sanger.
The next slap that she got was when no
group or organization came forward to
sponsor her coming. UnllkP Kmnia. Oold
man. who. with (ho local anarchists In back
of her. gave it lecture on birth control nt
Musical Kitnd Hall to a mixed audience
that was anything but delicate, nnd thereby
defied the law, nnd "got nvvay with It." Mrs.
.Sanger preferred not to talk when sho
found that no organized group ot women
heie could bo discovered who would come
forward and sympathize with her cam
paign. "I do pot wish to linposo my presence
Upon Philadelphia," she said, "if I am Jiot
wanted."
Tho fact that a great many -women Indi
vidually, exptessed curiosity to hear her
