The crusade atso was carried Into Cam den. The vigilance committee of Phila delphia sent a letter to Mayor Charles II. Ellis, of Camden, requesting his co-opera-tlon In the efforts to clean Up vice condi tions, eliminate speakeasies, nnd prosecute to the limit any violations of the laws regu latins the sale of liquor. Mayor Smith wrote to Secretary of the Navy Daniels asking the Federal Govern ment to appoint a special Federal attorney to appear at the henrlngs held hero against those charged with running Immoral houses Advices from Washington, hovever. Indi cate that the Federal authorities are lealng It entirely up to the city to prosecute" these cases, until after the hearings of these eases are held on Friday, at least. Should the result of these hoarlngs not satisfy the Federal authorities, It Is probable that James Gay Gordon will be named to rep resent the Washington authorities. The warning from the license court to saloonkeepers In the city followed a hear In held in chambers today by President Judge J, Willis Martin of Common Pleas Court No. 6, of the first case of nlleged violation of the selective service act since the crusade to eliminate vice conditions and evasions of the section of the selective draft law prohibiting the sale of Intoxicants to sailors and soldiers In uniform was launched. BUCKLEY "nLAMICD WAITERS The case was that of "Tim" Buckley, proprietor of a saloon at Polnl Breeze Park. Buckley a. week ago was exonerated by United States Commissioner Long of blame for the sale of liquor to thirteen sailors In uniform, which had been preferred by the Vigilance Committee. At the hearing befAre the Federal Com mission, Buckley said that his waiters pur chased the Intoxicants and then resold them, under a system ho had of selling checks to the waiters, and then permitting the waiters to collect the cash from the purchasers of the drinks. One waiter was "1J- t .. . The vlgllanco committee, on the strength cf Buckley's testimony before the commis sioner, asked the License Court to reoke his Hcenie, on the grounds that Intoxicating liquors were being Illegally sold at his place. Buckley was represented beforo Judge Martin by William W. Lucas. Edwin M. Abbott appeared for the vigilance commit tee. 'The License Court will not tolerate any anrt of an evasion of the law," said Judge Martin at. the hearing. "This includes the tale of liquor to any persons who In turn ell It to soldiers and sailors. We will act promptly In all cases of evasion, and will hold the proprietors equally responsible with the persons who make the sale as accesso ries." Judge Martin announced after the bearing- that there was no evidence upon which to revoke Buckley a license. "There Is apparently no attempt to evade the law here," he said. "The system of checks is all right, as It only simplifies the cosh sale of liquor, and Mr Buckley as sumes all responsibility for eery sale. He apparently Is trying to prevent any attempt to evade ths law in his place." Buckley drew up a new set of rules for fl MIMUUVUHa " VH.WMMM. .......... ......... ....... i satisfactory to Abbott. reDresentlne the Vigilance committee. These rules Include a special room for the unlfonned sailors and soldiers, In which no Intoxicants can be sold. Attorney Abbott said that the committee is satisfied with the outcome of the case. A close watch will be kept on the place in the future, he added, to see If the new rules are carried out. WANT CLEAN-UP IN CAMDEN The vigilance committee. In Its letter to Mayor Ellis, asked that the Camden Police Department send a letter to saloonkeepers advising them that strict obiervance of the law will be insisted upon. The lettor fol lows: In the course of an investigation con ducted In this city by the vigilance com mittee of Philadelphia, It was ascer tained that soldiers and sailors have been going from here to Camden, N. J for the purpose of obtaining liquor. This situation is due to the enforcement In Philadelphia of the Federal law forbid ding the sale of Intoxicants to men In uniform. Such a sale Is a violation of section 12, of the selective service act, the provisions of which you are undoubtedly familiar with. The civil authorities In this city co operating with the Federal District At torney and public-spirited agencies such as this committee have been exerting ef forts to minimize and If possible prevent altogether the sales to sailors and sol diers. This work will be nullified to a degree If the men are able to cross the Delaware River and there obtain what In Philadelphia they are unable to pur chase. This committee respectfully urges In the event you have not done bo already that you cause the head of your police department to address a communication to saloonkeepers, pointing out the dras tic features of this law and advising them that strict observance of Its provisions Wilt be Insisted upon. The sale of liquor to uniformed men under the act Is pun ishable by a $1000 fine and Imprison ment of twelve months, or both. In this city, many bootleggers have been apprehended by the authorities, and this committee has been Instrumental In J '"S. causing the arrest of a number of them.

Members of other boards mado similar statements, and In no lnstanco was a man found who expressed the belief that tho conscripts could be summoned for examina tions In less than five days lifter tho nrrUnl of the master lists. Tncony has won Its fight for n revision of the number of men to be drnfted for the national army from that district according to Caspar M. Titus, chairman of the ex emption board In District 31, which com prises the Thirty-fifth and Forty-first Wards. "Our quota aa fixed by the Stato military authorities," said Titus, "Is 301, but owing to the protest made by Congressman Peter B. Costcllo this number will probably bo reduced to 201. It ought to be lower than that. If the district Is to be given full credit for its citizens who havo nlready Joined the colors." Colonel Frank G. Sweeney denied that there would be nny levlslon of district quotas. "Tho State Registration Hoard has no authority to chango nny of the district quotas without explicit directions from Washington to do so," was Colonel Sweeney's reply to a query ns to whether or not Congressman Costcllo's request would be granted for n reduction of the draft quota In his district "Washington's Interpretation of the law," said Colonel Sweenoy, "Is thnt the district quotas shall bo reckoned on the basis of credits In counties and In cities of more than 30,000 population. If one ward In a city or borough or township In a county linn sent more men to tho military service than another the fact Is unknown to us. Wash ington gae us tho credits by counties and cities, and wo were Instructed to reckon dlatrlct quotas on that basis In proportion to registration. This we have done. We havo no olce In the Interpretation of the law as to credits. That Is solely up to Washington, and any chango in credits must be ordered by Washington. The Stato Registration Hoards do not Interpret the law Their duty is to administer It ns ordered by Washington." Congressman Costollo went to Harrisburg jesterday to protest against this system, on the ground that It worked a hardship on the men In the Industrial bectloiiB of Kensington, Frankford and Tacony IIo held that these districts hae done more than their share In recruiting and thnt they should bo given full credit. "There Is but ono solution for this trou ble," said Titus, "and that Is to g!e each dlatrlct Its Individual credit for tho num ber of men who havo Joined the colors. Our district lias been particularly loyal and patriotic and In rocruitlng has led many other districts. To overlook this and to give us an equal rating with districts that are way behind in recruiting Is not fair I un derstand that our quUa Is to be cut down and It Is likely that other districts will re ceive similar treatment." .. TltYa2lke fther boar- chairmen, made It plain that the task of getting the desired number of men would not be an easy task because of exemptions. "In the Industrial sections," he explained, "a big percentage of the men are married, and hundreds can claim exemption under the rules governing aliens. Assuming that our quota Is 201 and assuming- that the War Department's esti mates are correct, it would be necessary for us to summon 02 men for physical exam nations. Now the War Department feels that out of that number we can get our quota, but I .don't believe it is possible, owing to the number of exemptions. Per. sons ly I believe wo will have to summon nearly all of the men registered before our quota Is reached." Owing to the failure of the War Depart- w iitf0rWa.r1 the mfater " th was but little that exemption boards could do today other than to arrange for the distri bution of draft literature and make a fur ther study of the draft regulations The problem of finding physicians to as slst the medical member of each board In the examination of conscrlps must be solved by the Individual boards, according to ad vices received from Harrisburg today. Each board.

My dauglfter never deceived me, nor was she away from mo ono night. On tho day that he took her off to KIkton I thought they hnd gone to tho theatre sho Insisted on his bringing her homo thnt night so she could toll her mother all about it.

But my girl's nerves and health were gone. I sent her to Atlnntlc City so that she could forget him She thought she still loved htm. Then she got appendicitis and was In the University Hospital for five weeks. Now I have her away In the country, where I want her to forget. It Is a frightful thing to have hap pened to us. "But It might have been worse. I have my girl. I know that she Is a good girl nnd the greatest mistake was perhaps mine. I raised her to be too Innocent and trusting, When he wanted to go out Into the world nnd work I said. to her, No, you don't need the money, and you'll be toklnc the bread out of the mouth of some poor girl who does. I sheltered her aa much as I could. I sent her to the Friends' Central School at Fifteenth and Race streets because I liked the gentle ways of the Quakers. I pro tected her In every way that I could per haps too much. "Houston won her young heart and made her believe that life would be one grand, sweet song. After he had acknowledged hlB love for her, he was a great kisser and hugger. He lacked reserve, and that wor ried me. But when I saw how my girl was set on htm, I decided to make the best of It. "His people, however, are greatly to blame. They have backed him against my girl, have taken up for him and encouraged htm and spoiled him. I do not understand the people who raise their hands against a good girl and accept a blackguard every where. Even the church where they met continued to, engage him In the choir after I had personally told the pastor of his treatment of Florence. But now they have had their eyes opened."
