That the proprietress of an aliened dis

Commissioner Long In the Federal Building.
Tho hearing followed a raid on three
questionable Tenderloin resorts made last
night by Government officials.
V. A. Hegek, a Federal agent who was
assigned to take a hand In the vlco situa
tion, was the chief witness against the
woman, and testified that he was Invited
to visit her houso last Tuesday night. "I
asked her," said Hegelc, "If I could Invite
other friends. She consented nnd Informed
me that I need not fear trouble because
she could get all the protection she wanted."

HARRY J. STONE
ROOSEVELT DENOUNCES
'COPPERHEADS' OF 1917
Stand Where War Opponents
Stood in '61, Colonel
Declares
NEW YORK, Aug. 10.
Denouncing some Senators, Congressmen
and newspaper editors as "standing where
the copperheads stood In the Civil "War,"
Colonel Itoosevelt today demanded sup
pression of tha German-language press nnd
deportation of "fifty-fifty Americans" and
called upon every man, woman and child
In tho country to exert every ounce of
energy to win the war.
When asked concerning statements at
tributed to him by Dr. Kuno Meyer, Ilerlln
professor, In Amsterdam dispatches, Iloose
velt said Meyer was guilty of "gross Im
propriety" In quoting him concerning com
pensation and indemnities a victorious Ger
many might collect.
"Mr. Meyer's statement Is substantially
correct, with this exception," said Roosevelt.
"I did not say iho Austro-German victory
would entitle them to compensation or In
demnities or to form a mid-European fede
ration under Germany's agency. What I
said was that If Germany was victorious
she would undoubtedly exact the utmost
llmltii nf cnmnensatlon and Indemnity she
could wring from all her. adversaries. 'n;.L,irfn..HaMMl II lll
Hairy J. Stone, a political lieutenant of
Mayor Tomas B. Smith, today resigned al
chief clerk to tho Hoard of County Com
missioners, following a lively tilt with Com
missioner Hairy Kuenzel. '
Stone, who was reappointed at the per
sonul request of the Mayor at the outset of
the present administration, was originally
appointed through the Influence of the late
Israel W. Durham.
Ills resignation today caused a political
Hurry In City Hall. It had been expectco
for somo time, because of the bitter per
sonal feeling between lilm and Commls
slonor Kuenzel.
Stono resigned an a direct result of the
proceduro In the County Commissioners'
oIJlco, he said. In handling the undertakers'
fees for burying war veterans.
The last Legislature amended the former
law granting to families of deceased Civil
and Spanish-American War veterans S56
for funeral expenses to $76 toward tho cost
of burial.
Stono has appeared before the Finance
committee ot Councils on several occa
Mans, and before the summer recess' .of
Councils Induced the Finance Committee to
requlro that the undertakers brine proper
affidavits and guarantees of tho coat of
theso funerals before they could collect the
$7E. Appropriation Is mado for this pur
pose annually.
Stono complained to the Finance Commit
tee that the County Commissioners had per
mitted undertakers to collect for the fu
nerals from the families of the deceased and
then collected the $75 from tho County
Commissioners throunh a loose system He
did not blame ICUensef for the system, but
alleged today that when George F. Holmes,
chairman of tho Board of County Commis
sioners, wns absent from tho city, Kutnzel
had' placed his O. K. on aevoral of the
warrants for paying the undertakers.
As a. result of this, Stone said today, he
sent his resignation In. Commissioners
Holmes and Kuenzel held a long. conference
with Mayor Smith and Stone's .resignation.

u.hnther wo went to war or not Mr. Meyer
and his wife called on mo In May, 1916,"
Roosevelt said his conversation with
Meyer occurred after he had spoken at
Chicago and Detroit on the need for Ameri
can preparedness In view of Germany's
hostile attitude.
"What I said to him was what I Bald
In these speeches, so far as Germany and
the duty of this Government Is concerned,"
ho asserted.
Discussing the present war outlook
Roosevelt said:
"I now hope the United States will mnke
up Its mind to fight this war to a triumph
ant conclusion, until Germany Is completely
overthrown, without regard for what any
other nation docs. F.ven If all abandonea
the struggle, the United States should con

dearest Interests, to make the world safe
for America.
"Until America shows her ability to do
that she should not talft about making the

ATHLETICS SCORE SIX
RUNS IN THE SEVENTH
A's Pound Three Brown" Pitchers
All Over the Lot at
Shibe Park
By ROBERT W. MAXWELL
SHIBE PARK, Aug. 10. The A.'s had
on their slugging mlts today and pelted the
pl:i hard. Tho locals led 1-0 at the end ot
the seventh.
Roy IJatea cleaned the bases with a triple
In tho lucky seventh, when six runs In all
were made by the Mackmen.
Win Noyes gave one of the finest ex
hibitions of pitching seen here this Beason.
Only one hit waB made off of Noyes in
the first seven Innings, and during ' that
time, he gave only one base on balls,
while none of the visitors got beyond sec
ond base.
Noyes was opposed by Rogers, who was
scored on In tho second Inning when Mc
Innls got around on singles by himself and
Schnng and Witt's sacrifice fly.
Three double plays later kept the Ath
letics In check, but they got going for
fair In the seventh Inning when with the
base filled and no ono out, Koob, a south
paw went In to pitch. Manager Mack then
pulled out Witt and sent in Dugart, a right
hitter. Dugan's single scored two runners
and Jamleson'a single sent In another.
Koob did so poorly that, with three runs
In, two out and the bases filled, Mnrtln,
a right-hander went In to pitch.
Bates made the Athletics' total runs for
the Inning' count up to six when ho scored
the three runners with a triple to center

"started In to oust him."
GAS BUREAU HEAD
IS NONCOMMITTAL
Neutral on Problem of Pro
spective Reduction in
Price
WHO SHOULD BENEFIT?
A well-guarded neutrality wns, main
tained today by N. Wiley Thomas, head o."
tho Bureau of Gas, regarding tho question
or whether consumers should receive the
benefit of a tlvc-cent reduction In gas
charges which will be brought about Jan
uary 1, 1918, when the United Gas Improve
ment Company Is under contract to reduce
Its price to' the city from eighty cents to
seventy-five cents per 1000 cubic feet.
Mr. Thomas said that while his sympa
thies were always with the consumer, he
could not forget that the five-cent reduc
tion would represent a large additional sum
for city revenue.
"The ngreement between the cty of
rhlladelphln," ho said, "and tho United
Gas Improvement Company, which Is gen?
erally known as the gas lease, provides a
well defined program for tho modification
of tho prico of gas to tho gas' consumer
of the city In which at stated Intervals the
prlco of gas per 1000 cubic feet may upon
the decision of City Councils be reduced
with tho consequent decrease In the revenues
of the city obtained from the sale of gas
In other words the city receives all above
the amount at which gas could be sold to
tho consumer under the terms of the agree
mentso that the whole subject Is very
Intimately connected with the financial
problems with which the city authorities
have to do. and It would bo an unwarranted
criticism on my part to express an opinion.
"My sympathies are, however, naturally
with the consumer, while our duties Involve
the determination of the quality of the gas
and the accuracy of gas meters.
"At the present time the consumer pnys $1
ner thousand cubic feet, eighty cents of
which Is received by the United Gas' Im
nrovement Company and twenty cents go
Into the city treasury. Obviously. If the
consumer paid eighty cents, per thousand
cubic feet the city, treasury would not re
ceive the twenty cents per, thousand feet,
which amounted In the year 1918 to the
considerable 'sum of J2.02J.480.09.
"January 1, 1918, the price may be fixed
at seventy-five cents per thousand. Should
no change In pilce be authorized It will be.
SI ner thousand cubic feet, twenty-five
cents of which will be returned to the city
. ... ..
The demand Is growing dally on trja part
of taxpayers mai mo uvo-tcni reaucuon
go to the copsurrter .In the form pf nlnety-flvc-cent'
gas. There Is Indignation at .the
apparent lack of Interest on the part of
leading politicians In working for 'nlnety-flve-cent
gas. It Is argued that the saving
of flvo cents would mean much to the oop
sumer In this period ,of wartime prices.
There are Indications that the question will
become a strong' political Uiue next fall.
Householders and. taxpayers In all parts of
the city are urging that.no man be. elected
. f-...n .'mi he Dlacea himself on'
record as being for a maxlmunt p'rloe of
ninety-five centa for aa.
