DENIAL FROM GOVERNOR
Brumbaugh Calls His Accuser
Liar and Brands Him Either
, Fool or Rascal
While A. Mitchell Palmer. ex-Representative
and Democratic leader In Pennsyl
vania Is In Washlrgton today to tell the
Judge Advocate General of the War De
partment that politics has entered Into the
detection of the conscription boards In
Pennsylvania, Governor Ilrumbaugh Ik out
with a red-hot Interview In which ho gives
his accuser the He
"Charges mnde by A. Mitchell Palmer
that the Governor of Pennsylvania was
guided by political considerations In making
cppolntments tcv the exemption boards
are absolutely false and baseless. If he
says that I was guided by politics he lies.
If he does not know thaj 1 did not make
. single appointment, he Is a fool ; If
Itnoivlng that I did not make ono appoint
ment he says what ho Is credited with
saying, he Is n rascal
"Ills statements, at least those attributed
to him, are on a par with those ho mado
A year ago, when he raid the. Common-
yrcalth was bankrupt And yet his hench
men In the Legislature have just finished
Toting for appropriations of 180,000,000 to
180,000,000. If what he said about the
Commonwealth's financial condition Is
true, then his henchmen are rascals ; If they
were rignt in voting these appropriations,
then ho was wrong "
The Governor used these words In a
Statement at his home In Germnntown.
Which he reached last night from Harris
burg. This was another answer of the
Governor to the accusations made by Mr.
Palmer before tho Democratic Club
Thursday night and amplified In a state
Kent yesterday.
CHARGES BY McCORMICK
Vance C. McCormlck. who was defeated
&r Governor by Governor Brumbaugh and
Who is now Democratic national chairman,
has published In his paper, the Harrlsburg
Patriot, an editorial similar to the state
ment made by Mr Palmer.
Governor Brumbaugh characterized the
.Attacks of Mr. Palmer and of Mr. McCor
mlck as being purely political moves for
the benefit of the next gubernatorial cam
paign. "It Is despicable that any effort to make
political capital for the next gubernatorial
campaign out of tho conscription and ex
emption business should bo made," said the
Governor.
Speaking further on his appointments the
Governor said:
"The truth of the matter Is that all
boards were made by the oiricials at Wash
ington. I did not make a single appoint
ment. In cities of the first and second
Classes the recommendations for appoint
ments were made by the Mayor, the reg
istration board and the city medical author,
ltles; In the third-class cities by tho City
Controller and the city medical authorities;
in counties by the Sheriff, the president of
the County Commissioners and the county
medical authorities.
"All these authorities were assembled at
a meeting In Harrlsburg, open to the public.
I impressed upon them tho Importance of
naming the highest type of men that they
could, I tried to make plain all the re
quirements of the law. They forwarded
the lists to me, I transmitted them to
Washington, and there the appointments
were made."
Denial of the accusations against Gov
ernor Brumbaugh was made by Attornoy
General Brown last night He declared the
Governor had taken every effort to avoid
pollflcs in the selection of members for
the various exemption boards.
'The charge of Mr Palmer Is absolutely
-without the slightest foundation." Mr.
Brown said. 'The Governor has taken the
Very highest ground In this matter and haB
absolutely excluded politics The Federal
Government desired the Sheriff the chair
man of the County Commissioners and the
county medical officers to serve on the con.
scriptlon boards and these men were elected.
In every Instance the Governor tried to
get the very best men that could be found,
and he never once considered whether a
man was a Republican or a Democrat "

reinforced those of Company G, Second
Regiment of the New Jersey Guard, who
have been on duty at the yard since the
declaration of war. Squads of secret ser
vice men and agents from the Department
of Justice circulated among the spectators;
ferry-boats were watched with eagle eye;
the river front was guarded.
And so nothing happened
.Except that one more Indisputable sign
of our determination to wipe Prussian
autocracy from off the face of the earth
and the borom of tho ocean was registered
in terms of what looked like utter Invinci
bility. Gazing up at the Idaho was like standing
at tho base of City Hall and trying to
salute Billy, Penn. Its sheer red height
rose dizzily to the top of tho ways and
gave one a crick In the neck to contemplate
It. Its long body which will be as sub
marine prof as human Ingenuity of the
twentieth century variety can make It,
stretched out 600 feet and made the llttlo
river craft seem as ants unto a hippo
potamus. In her white suit and pink hat, and with
, her fresh young face pulled Into lines of
solemnity at tho great honor accorded her,
the youthful sponsor galvanized the thought
of all those present Into words when she
cried girlishly aftei; formally naming the
ship
"My! but you're the .strongest creature
X have ever seen."
A humorous touch was given to the cere
mony when Miss Honora Devers, one of
Idaho's prettiest natives, now a resident of
New York, and a friend of the sponsor,
followed the champagne christening with
one of water. This was from the Great
Snake River, Idaho, brought hither to In
ject the white ribbon element Into the bap
tism of a ship named for a white ribbon
(State.
A few seconds before this strongest crea
ture, the Union Jack flapping triumphantly
from her stern, had floated down the ways,
Captain C H. Dtcklns, chaplain at the
Philadelphia Nnvy Yard, offered tho mov
' lng prayer that has been officially adapted
; ana adopted by the navy since t wa first
pronounced in 1843 by the Rev. Doctor
Studdards at the Philadelphia Navy Yard,
" Hay the vessels of our navy," it runs
In part, "be guarded by Thy gracious
Providence and care. May they not bear
the sword In vain, but as. the minuter of
God, be a terror to those who do evil and
a defense to those who do well.
"'Graciously bless the officers and men
o$ our navy. May love of country be en
graven on their hearts and may their ad
venturous spirits and severe toll be ap
preciated by a grateful nation; may their
jye be precious in Thy sltht and if ever
vur ships ofwar should be engt jed In bat
tie, grant that their struggles may be only
Wider an enforced necessity for the defense

HOUSING LEADER SEES
DANGER OF
McCrudden Says City Will Bo
Lucky if It Escapes Through
Summer
NEEDS MORE INSPECTORS
Twenty-five Men, Ho Declares, Would
Guard Health and Collect
$75,000
The want of sufficient housing and sanita
tion Inspection ny Philadelphia open til
deadly wartime contagion.
Possibly 10.000 persons. motly negroes
from the South, have mint to Philadelphia
this year because nf stories about high
wages In the Ills Industrie These people
aro cotvtantl) on the mine When thev
do not find what they expected they movo
on. They live In sccral sections of tho
clt before finally settling down For this
season they must be watched and there
are only five lnpectors In the whole city
to keep an eye on them.
James P. McCrudden. chief of tho Divis
ion of Housing and Sanitation, has asked
Councils, through the Department of Health,
for an appropriation sufficient for the em
ployment of additional Inspectors several
times Thirty-five new ones will be nsked
for again this fall.
To relieve the situation, howeer, fifteen
men are now available and will be used to
cope with emergencies as thoroughly as
possible.
Tho Housing Association nnd similar
bodies, which arc In touch with the dangers
that may grow out nf present housing con
ditions and the fact that there are not
enough Inspectors, say that something
special should be done to prevent what may
provo a city disaster All of them call upon
the public to assist by being cautious
"Wc will hac a Hcvere summer with re
gards to health." declared Mr McCrudden
today "I cannot Fay that any one epidemic
will strike the city, but we must keep u
careful watch lest one does break out. We
might get through without any dllllculty.
hut If nny serious rontnglou disease broke
out It would be llkelv to get beyond con
trol, owing to the great floating population."
SMALLPOX OL'TimilAKK
Mr McCrudden also cited the two recent
outbreaks of smallpox to show how out
siders arc bringing disease to the city The
health condition of the city Is also being
gradually disorganized by the draft on
physicians A great many physicians who
have had their fingers thoroughly on health
conditions In their neighborhoods are going
to war and other physicians will take their
places.
Ihirope has furnished an example of the
danger of letting down tho bars owing to
war Now most of the countries aro more
strict with respect to the enforcement of
their health laws than they were before
tho war started ; hut this was not put Into
effect until after laxnrss had caused sev
eral serious outbreaks which threatened
disaster
While It Is realized that 65,000 people
lle In small alleys and courts In this city,
and that they are all subject to deadly dis
eases owing to their living conditions, the
Inspections cannot be made thorough under
the present system There nrc simply not
enough Inspectors to go around This Is ap
parent from the fact that one Inspector
rovers the whole of West Philadelphia
south of Market street and west of the
Schuylkill It Is apparent that this man
can only touch here and there In his dis
trict once a year Another inspector has
Germantown an Chestnut Hill, with a
combined population of more than 85,000,
more than the city of Reading has, and In
addition has the whMe of the Forty-second
Ward nnd part nf the Twenty-first Ward
New York spends more for child hygiene
alone than Philadelphia does for its entire
Health Department. Philadelphia, spends for
the health of each Individual about thirty
five cents a year, while New York and Chi
cago, which top Philadelphia in health con
dition', spend sixty-one cents a person-each
year
CITY WAKING L'P
The Health Department and nil of Its
brtmches are doing all they can with the
funds on hand An Illustration or the wak
ing up In this city Is apparent from the fact
that In 1916 the division of Housing nnd
Sanitation prosecuted about 1G00 persons for
.violations of laws on sanitation as compared
to 100 to 160 the year before. This year the
prosecutions havo been running close to 100
a week, which will bring tho total up to
4000 or 5000, unless property, tenement and
rooming house owners, and other Individ
uals heed the laws.
Chief McCrudden this morning explained
that If ho had twenty-five new Inspectors,
whose salaries would cost the city about
$30,000, he could return to the city between
$50,000 and $76000 a ear, which would be
collected by tho men In license fees for
tenement and rooming houses. This would
insuro more than 100 per cent on tho dollar
for the use of the money. Money advanced
for closing open wolls, connecting houses
with sewers and paving small streets Is also
Invariably returned In full. Yet the depart
ment always has trouble getting an appro
priation and never gets anything like the
amount of money needed for tho vital health
work which Is always ahead.
The public must tnke a hand in this mat
ter, the associations say. In order that
Councllmen shall take enough Interest
actually to Investigate the health situation
In Philadelphia.

PRICE FIXING BLAMED
FOR HIGH COST OF MILK
Fcder.il Investigators Contend
Rise Is Due to Violation of
Anti-Trust Law
ROTAN'S AID WELCOMED
A price-fixing committee of producers Is
responsible for tho high cost of milk, ac
cording to Federal authorities, and an In.
vestlgatlon Is under way to discover tho
members. It Is contended that this Is a
Iolatlon of the Sherman anti-trust law.
Any member of the association who re
fuses to abide by the committee's price,
It Is said Is suspended
The co-operation of District Attorney Ho
tan In the milk probe may help to bring
matteis to a climax The local Investiga
tion Is being directed by Assistant District
Attorney Joseph H. Taulane
Major John Handy Hall, Assistant United
States Attorney, who was directed to probe
the milk situation by United States At
torney Kane, said he would welcome all co
operation by the city nnd looks forward to
successful solution of the question.
After a conference on the milk situation
between Mr. Kane and Dr. Clyde L. King,
chairman of the Governor's Trlstate Milk
Commission, It was rumored In official cir
cles that the Investigation would be
dropped.
"Such is not tho case," said Major Hall.
"You can say with emphasis that the Invcs
vestlgation will be continued," he said.
Doctor King Is said to have defended the
suggested increase to eleven cents retail
In this city not only because the fanner
Is "up against It," hut also because It would
be bent for the consumer to meet the actual
cost of production rather than pay heavy
prices later owing to the scarcity of milk, he
explained.

A neighbor's pet dog ate the

as the poison bait is sweetened.
Dockyard gardeners should exer

They're likely to do unexpected

"The hill was drawn by City Solicitor Con
nely after a conference 'with Mayor Smith
and Director Datesman.
".Summed up. the meaning of the bill is
that any big improvement can he built by
units, provided tho bids do not exceed the
ofllclal estimated cost of the work. It was
just lack of this authority which held up
he construction of tho Convention Hall on
the Parkway and might have been used
as tho means of holding up work on such
Improvements as the Art Museum, the Free
Library and similar Improvements. The
action of the Supreme Court in the case of
the Convention Hall was due to a taxpay
ers suit which Questioned the authority of

Originally there was $1,600,000 of loan
funds afforded for the construction of the
Convention Hall In tho big loans of last
year there was Included nn Item of $20,000
additional As estimated, the cost of the
hall complete Is $3,000,000.
"For the purpose of work of construc
tion on the Convention Hall, theer la now
$1,418,000 available. The original sun, w
11.500.000. but was reduced by reason of
payments made for plans which were made

convention hall, but they also provided fo?
a stadium and other features and would

plans were abandoned.
"As Important as the bill is In regard to

Improvements is just as Important B
