Dinner Tea and rice balls
That's why thirteen Chinese of the
steamship Tarkosan deserted today and
steered for Chinatown.
All the way hero from the Orient life
was Just one rice ball after the other.
Sometimes It was elliptical and again It
was spherical but It was always rice.
The crew had pictured big feasts and a
little Innocent excitement when the ship
nosed Into Philadelphia but all hope fled
when It stopped at the salt works. There
was little hope for romance or revelry In
a flock of salt. And It looked Just like rice.
Bo for food and color they slipped quietly
out of their bunks and charged northward.
Word ot their disappearance was flashed
to Sergeant McGoldrlck, of the Fourth
street and Snyder avenue 'station, by First
Officer Getto Kaysane. He quickly mo
bilized a dozen cops and they manned a
patrol and sped In the direction ot the
railroad tracks which edge the river
front,
' It was a good guess, The little band of
deserters were singing and charting as they
trudged along In their best blouses. Eleven
of them who were progressive were minus
their queues. Lips were smacking In antici
pation of the big feast ashore.
They offered no resistance to the cops.
Him Kee expressed the sentiment of all
when he said, "No clare be allested ; be slum
fun."
At the station house Him explained with
difficulty that anything was better than
rice and salt. He told with confidence how
all the members of the little band had their
lips set for chop suey. chow me In and other
dishes of the good old homeland.

THIS BUILDING CALLED ABSURD
DEMAND A BIG
CONVENTION HALL
Business Men Call Plan for
Building of G000 Capacity
"Ridiculous"
USELESS, THEY DECLARE
Tho proposed plan ot building n munici
pal convention ball on the Pail.wa with
a seating capacity ot only 6000 was termed
"ridiculous" anil "absurd" today by vcial
officials of the Chamber of Commene and
others who have been boosting for a struc
ture of a seating capacity of at least twice
that number
According to the consensus of opinion
expressed, the plan Is not onl uncalled for
and foolish but It .would mean n'most a
waste ol money, since theio aie seveial
buildings In the clt.v at present, which tan
accommodate almost 6000 peisous Better
build none at nil, it was said
Several boosters lepeated assertions to
the fact that Philadelphia Is missing an
almost endless numbei of Impoitant con
ventions owing to lack of an adequate con
vention ball These conventions. It was
said, would not onlv ndvcitlse and help
wake up the cil, but It has been estimated
that each peison attending a convention
lure leaves $32 25 on an avciage
Philadelphia thus Is losing millions or
doliais owing to inadequate facilities, A
convention hall fov OOiio pet sons would not
remed.v the situation to am gieat extent,
It was said Tho hall should accommodate
at least double that tiumbei
George A Ciovvle) who was secrelarj
ot the Allied Business Men s Committee for
a Ccntinl Convention Hall, emphatically
condemned the plan lodaj He tald thut
he was positive one seating 10.00u persons
could be built for the money appiopilatcd
"If Mr. Wlndrlm can't diaw plans for
such a conventlim loll there aie plent.v of
other archllects who can." .dr Crowley
said
"One trouble 1." he continued, "that the.v
may be (.pending the inone) on ait and
decoiatlons. It Is an eary matter to spend
millions on art. The first and main thing
about a building Is Its use The decoia
tlons should not come tlrt
"Philadelphia needs a convention hall
seating 10,000 at least Twelve thousand
would be better I have studied the mattei
for vears and am pofitlve that a satlsfac
turv "convention hall, seating 10.000 persons,
could be built for the $1,500,000 uppio
pilated "
"It will be useless to build one of MIOO
capaclt) Far better, build none at all "
Guy Gundaker, chairman of the conven
tion committee of the Chamber of Com
merce, .said ho was "disgusted" when be,
heard that plans for the. smaller hall had
been submitted tu Mayor Smith.
"Such a plan Is both ridiculous nnd ah
stud." he said. "The cllv is missing conven
tions light nnd left We have no place to
bonne the larger conventions
"Action teitalnl) is needed "
George W. B Hicks, of the convention
buieaii of the Chamber of Coin'merce. said-
"Theie Is absolutelj no Justification for
building a small convention hall.
"What we need Is what we haven't got
We already have buildings which will ac
commodate 6000 people. We need a hall
that will accommodate several times that
number The cltv must he asleep.
"Something must be done We must wake
the city up It's a man's Job, no doubt.
"ilan Phlladelphlans don't realize per
haps what the city needs for the simple
reason that we have never had one. They
even go so far ns to' term "dopy" some
wide-awake man who can see things ahead
"I could mention dozens of things that
would help make Philadelphia a far big
ger and more wide-awake cltv. 1 mean
things or events that could be held here If
the city had pioper accommodations. We
could have pageants, celebrations, and other
events which would attract the attention of
the whole country, not to mention Impor
tant big conventions which aie slipping
through our ftngets, so to speak,
"It would be absurd to build a conven
tion hall without exhibition quarters. The
two go hand In hand. Both are needed."
and murmurs of gloom escaped the Chinese
when they discovered the familiar rice balls.
They returned to the steamship with long
faces and the advance knowledge that sev
eral more weeks of rice balls were. In store
before they again should land at home.
The commander of the ship thanked the
police for the capture of the crew. Had
they remained at large It would have cost
the captain J&00 for each Chinese,'

LARGEST OLD BOOK STORE IN AMERICA
TBooT
Sale
of Intense
Interest
Starts Tomorrow
Although our sales have been
heaviest in our nearly eighty-oif
years of business life, our pur
chases are getting ahead of our
disposals.
It has been a physical impossi
bility to display a single volume
of the tens of thousands bought
since November 1st. These books
have been stacked in our ware
house like a mighty river held
back by an ice-jam and we have
decided to dispose of them at
prices which will repay our book
lover friends for calling.
For half-a-month we have been
busy night and day, sorting,
marking and arranging the books
for the Sale. Everything is now
ready and we arc proud of it.
So starting tomorrow, Tues
day, March 13th, we will begin
displaying this "since November
1st" stock on temporary tables
the shelves being filled with clas
sified stock. Although every
available space will be utilized,
only a fraction of the vast num
ber of books can be shown at one
time, and, under the liveliest sell
ing conditions, it will require -at
least two weeks to exhaust the
stock. You will have to call daily
during that time to get any cor
rect idea of the quantity and
quality of books 'and the wonder-
ful bargains offered.
The books in this special sato
include every field of literature
Standard Sets, Americana, His
tory, Travels. Biography, and
represent probably the largest
number of fine libraries ever
combined in one sale.
The largest single purchase- in
this gathering was from Schenec
tady, New York. There were 37
cases required to ship this libra
ry. It is very rich in Theology,
Philosophy and History. This lot
is displayed on our second noor. ..
All are welcome to look over ,
and enjoy these hooks whether j
they wish to purchase or not. 4
