W. Kreeland Kendrlck. Receiver of Taxes,
Is a candidate. Tor re-election on the Ile
publlcan Organization ticket, ulilcli Is tlio
Yard ticket. Ho owes lilt) nomination to
the Vares, who placed him on the ticket
nd recommend him to the people for re
election. The Varc faction, now In virtual control
of the Republican Organization, In the fac
tion that recommended Isaac Deutscli for
nomination for Select Councilman from the
Fifth Ward. Criminals were Imported from
Now York on primary day to make. sure .of
Deutsch's nomination. That faction recom
mended and npproed and fought for
Deutscli: It recommends, approcs and
fights for Kcndrlelr.
Mr. Kendrlck Is by Inheritance add In his
own right a leader in Masonry. Ills father
was prominent In Masonic orders. Mr. Ken
drlck Is .Illustrious Potentate of I.u I.u
Temple, Ancient and Arabia Order of the
Nobles of the Mystic Shrine and Imperial
Chief Itabbin or the Ancient and Arabic
Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine.
Mr. Kendrlck Is a. man of engaging per
sonality suave, soft-spoken, benignly smil
ing. Ho has n clear, straight eye and a
mild countenance that Inspire confidence.
Those qualities hae contributed largely to
his success In the Shrine and make him an
extremely valuable man politically. The
Shrlners, almost to a man, believe In Ken
drlck Implicitly. The mere fact of Ken
drlck's association with an enterprise Is
enough to command the confidence of many
Shrlners and Shrlners" relatives such Is
their faith In Kcndrick'a honest, good Judg
ment and business acumen.
In 1906 the Monaton Realty Investing
Corporation waf bet up by l'ierro II. Looker,
who opened the corporation's main ofllce
at 210 West Forty-second rtrcct. New York
city. Associated with Looker was Alfred
O, Hammer, who wus nominally treasurer
of the Monaton Corporation. Looker had
been employed as an agent by the Amer
ican Real Kfctato Company, a substantial
and rcputablo New York concern, but had
dropped out. Hammer had been employed
as a clerk by tho American Real Kstate
Company ; he alto had dropped out. Looker
explained his seerance from association
with tho American Company by represent
ing that he had been a member of It and
had withdrawn because he was not In sym
sympathy with Its policies and methods.
The Monaton company Fold about $700,
000 worth of preferred stock and $200,000
worth of so-called "profit-sharing certifi
cates" and gold bonds Faith of purchasers
was retained for a long time by payments
of dividends and Interest, not out of le
gitimate earnings, but out of tho money
paid for the stock, certificates and bonds.
Looker's Monaton Corporation was a
in Indie and Looker was a swindler.
MONATON I'RKSIOENT UOES TO JAIL
In January, 1915, Looker, ns president
of the Monaton Corporation, was Indicted
by the Federal Grand Jury In New York
city on eight counts accusing him of using
the malls to defraud. On April 29 he
was cbnvlcted on' seven counts In the United
States District Court in Now York city
and on April 30 he was sentenced to serve
a j ear and a day fti the Federal prison at
Atlanta, Ga. He served.
In 190D Abner VT. Dowdell, of 445 South
Forty-third street, became general man
ager of the Monaton Corporation's Phila
delphia office, at BOO Ilullltt Uulldlng. In
1910 the firm moved to the sixth floor of
the Morris Uulldlng. Kendrlc Wamo as
sociated In rome manner with the enter
prise, He was a valuable acquisition to
the Monaton Corporation. He was well
Known and was held In high esteem by
Masons and their families. Agents were
told that the very name of Kendrlck would
enable them to do u land-office business,
and they did just that.
Kendrlck has denied any business con
nection with Dowdell and tho Monaton Cor
poration, but It Is a fact that his name was
on tBo door and on the letter heads of the
Philadelphia Monaton office ; and for more
! than a year and a half tho receipts Issued
from the Philadelphia office for tho Mona
ton ofllce were tlgncd "Kendrlck & Dow
dell." Early In 1912 Kendrlck and Dowdell quit
work for t,he Monaton concern and u year
later the Philadelphia ofllco was closed.
In 1913 Kendrlck was tho Republican
Organlaztlon condldate for Receiver of
Taxe-s and was elected. Ono of the first
things he did after taking offlco was to np
polnt Abner W. Dowdell a Deputy Receiver
of Taxes nnd put him In charge of Branch
Office No. 3, -at 393C Market Btrcct. He Is
still there.
On January 13, 1913. Mr. Kendrlck was
elected fourth vice president of the Ameri
can Assurance Company, which had olllces
at Thirteenth nnd Spring Garden streets, at
a salary of $10,000 a year. From the rec
ords of the company It did not appear Just
what Mr. Kendrlck's duties were to be, but
Retnhold It. Koch, president of the concern,
paid the arrangement with Mr. Kendrlck
was made to facilitate the sale of stock.
TJie company was In seed of funds, be
cause It had recently parchased the busi
nesses of tho Umpire. Life and Union Na
tional Accident Insuranco Companies. A
largo part of tho American Assurance Com
pany's business was obtained by purchas
ing from other concerns that for ono rea
son or another quit the Insuranco field
After Kendrlck was elected fourth vice
president of the American Company stock
holders received letters from him ndUslnt
them to Increase their holdings.
An Investigation of the American Assur
ance Company was mado In 1914 by Wil
liam J. Honey, chief examiner of the Penn
sylvania Insurance Department; Frank J.
Cummiskey. first assistant examiner;
Charles It. Colbourn. examiner or the Vir
ginia Insuranco Department, nnd Henry F.
Galpin. examiner of tho New Jersey In
surance Department, tho inquiry being re
quested by Charles Johnson, then Pennsyl
vania Insurance Comm'ssloner. Tho in
vestigators reported that though Kendrlck
was elected fourth vice president of the
American Company, at a salary of $10,000
n year, he never was actually paid by tho
company, and on May 10, 1913, he wrote to
President Koch stating that he would accept
no more salary after May 23, 1916. The
Investigators icported that the American
Registry Company hid paid $3810 to Ken
drlck for the American Assurance Company.
The investigators were Informed that Mr.
Kendrlck would make no claim for salary
against the American Assurance Company
and that the American Registry Company
would make no claim against the American
Assurance Company for reimbursement for
money paid Kendr'ck the Registry Com
pany thus being left to collect from Ken
drlck. The Investigators w ere thus satisfied
the American Assurance stockholders hav
ing been protected. The deal between Ken
drlck and the American Assurance Company
was thus virtually set aside by the investi
gation. The investigators, considering the Amer
ican Assurance Company's business meth
ods, snld :
An examination of the Income and dis
bursements of the company for the same
period of time, and n consideration of
the present financial condition will clearly
show that at no time when said dividends
were declared or paid was anv part of
the same earned, and that the aggregate
of said dividend.-. nd probably any part
of the same, could not hae been paid
except from Us receipts from time to time
on account of surplus paid or In picmlum
lecelved on account of the sale of new
capital stock. It Is. therefore, apparent
that said dividends wero never Justified
nor right ; but. on the contrary, were
wholly wrong, and such nctlon tended to
create In the minds of thoso to whom It
was sought to sell stock and to tho policy
holders and tho publlo a wrong Impres
sion of the condition and prospects of
the company.
It appears, therefore, that the Investi
gators were not only dissatisfied with the

arrAnements between Kendrlck uml the
American Assurance Company, but also)
condemned tho methods employed by tho
company which affected the sale of stock.
Tho Investigators In conclusion said!
"Therefore, wo now condemn the declara
tion and payment of such dividends as tin
Justifiable and wrong."
Tho American Assurance Company sub
sequently went the way of many of the
companies tho business of which It had
bought. It went out of business, disposing
of what assets It had to the Pension Mutual
Life lnsurince Company, which later was
lnvolcd In one of the biggest Insurance
scandal tho Stato has known.
In .1911 Mr. Kendrlck developed mayor
alty ambitions nnd for n llmo wns rather
prominently mentioned for tho Republican
organization nomination. Ho showed
strength enough to demonstrate his politi
cal value. The Varos rcnllzcd what Koch
had realized and what Dowdell and Looker
of the Monnton Realty Investing Corpora
tion hud known that V'. Frecland Ken
drlck's help was worth having. Kendrlck
was not strong enough himself to win a
mayoralty fight, but ho wns strong enough
materially to nld somebody else's fight.
Ko In tho autumn of1911 Kendrlck or
ganized the committee of 1000 to urge the
nomination of William S. Varo for Mayor
nnd ho gae Vare his support to tho end,
Vare was beaten for tho nomination by
Georgo It. Katie. Jr.
Tho autumn of 1015 found Kendrlck
again an nspirant for the mayoralty and
again he withdrew In tho Interest of Varc.
W. Frecland Kendrlck's record Is that
of n man who has mado some success In
pollUc, because he Is willing to play n,
faction's game, take what reward a fac
tion will glvo him and obey n faction's
orders.

FIGHT FOR SUFFRAGE
Secretary Declares for "Votes
for Women" Sends Earnest
Hope for New York Victory
Did 5ou tee the bright croi-s reflected In
the sky by the moon last night?
It wan nlmost uncanny. Hundreds of
Phlladelphlnn.s witnessed the spectnelo with
a mixed feeling of wonder, awe and fear.
With the full moon iih Its center and while
tlm whole city was merrymaking nnd cele
brating Halloween, the perfect cross wns
detected In tho clear night sky with arms
of light almost as powerful ns searchlights.
The cross was first visible about 9 o'clock.
After Illuminating the sky clearly above
tho city. It faded dimly from view nftcr
half an hour
Oldtlmo I'hiladelphlans never had wit
nessed such a sight before.
"What dres It mean?" was tho question
afckcd on many street corners.
In tho Italian quaiter many wero seen
to bless thctuschi'H. Reports havo been
mado of crosses appearing In the j-ky above
tho din nnd smoke of battlefields In north
ern France, Russia and near tho Italian
fiontler. Tho famous cross seen In tho sky
by (Ynstantlne In tho days of tho early
Chilstlatis days of toituio nnd cruelty
also has gone don u In history.
Tho Roman Kmperor, supeistltlous, was
unquestionably arrectcd. So were Phlladel
phi.ms last night.
When Italian residents had lecovercd
from their first shock, It began to bo
rumored thnt the emblem In the sky could
be taken as an omen that the Italian armies
under Cadorna wero preparing to stand
fast. This omen was considered all the
inoio Important becauso of today All
Saints' Day.
Tradition has It that Constantino the
Clreat, the first Christian Hmperor of Rome,
was comerted by a cross which appeared
In the sky. "In Hoc KlgnoVlnces" was what
he is said to have lead, meaning "Ily This
Sign Thou Shalt Conquer."
There are reeral atmospherical condi
tions which might explain the appearance
of tho cross. Forecaster ISllss. of tho
Weather llureau, said It probably was
caused by mlnuto particles of frozen vapor
or snow-flakes which, "under certain' condi
tions of tho atmosphere, are brightly re
flected by the moon. These appear often
In tho form of arcs of a circle, but owing
to the brightness of the moon only the
parts near that planet are visible to tho
cyo, thus resembling a cross.
Tho moon rose yesterday afternoon at
n:3t p. m. It set shortly after 9 a. m. to.
day. It was somo moon !

cliffe Miller Soloist
The stcillng Schmidt Quartet opened the
University Hxtenslon season and, Incident
ally, the evening recital season last night
in Wltherspoon Hall. A larger audience
than string quartets have had In recent
years In this city was on hand to hear a
well-balanced program that gave repre
sentation to the classics and to tho modern
composers and to pay respect to the per
sonnel of the organization, which Includes
Emll F. Schmidt, first violin: Louis An
gel 'y. second violin; Hmll Hahl, viola,
and William Schmidt, violoncello, playing
under the managerial auspices of tho enter
prising Philadelphia music bureau.
The program was drawn along conven
tional, or at least formulatory lines. Thus
the beginning was classical In "Papa"
Haydn's Quartet In D minor, opus 70, No. 2,
one of the most gracious in themes, serene
In atmosphere and puro In contour of his
many works in tho string quartet form.
It Is a classic of design as well as of time.
The Schmidts g.ue this as it should be
given, all light uml without heats of pas
sion or Intensities of Interpretation.
The other number was the theme and
variations from Arcnsky's Quartet in A
minor, opus 35. which served the useful
purpose of an exposition of tho technical
resources of the organization its cohesive
ness of tone, its variety of nrt and Its
accuracy of Intonation. W. R. it.

THAT WORN OUT '
MARBLE STEP
A few days ago one of our field superintendents "called up" to say,
that the marble step to a certain store was worn so thin that it would have to
be replaced.
Just think of it stone actually worn to such an extent by the constant
stream of customers going to and fro, that it had to be renewed.
This is a text for a sermon, but we are poor preachers suffice to say,
that this is just another incontrovertible proof of the confidence of the Public
in this institution, of faith continued for more than 30 years in the various
"units" now forming the American Stores Co.
It would be interesting data indeed, to know the number of customers
entering this particular store to wear out a marble slab.
