This prediction Is based on corre
spondence Mr. Kane has bad with
'Washington., While be would not di
vulge what passed between lilin and
'Government olllclals, other than to make
'nU prediction. It Is believed hu sug
tested this move as the only effective
method of stopping "bootlegging."
"This traffic mtlst ho stopped," he
said. "If live city cannot or will not
do It, tho 'Government will Intervene."
Nell Bonner, president of the llctall
Liquor Dealers' Association, will take
the stand In court In opposition to Mr.
Kane. He announced that ho will fight
Mr. Kane's suggestion, nnd says ho has
th support of every liquor dealer In the
association.
Bonner Defends Snloou Men
'The bulk of tho tratllo with bootleg
ters In Philadelphia Is carried on
through the who'ealer." Mr. Bonner
said. ''Four-fifths of these men are
, foreigners. Tho amount sold to 'boot
"Meggers' over retail bars Ih almost
negligible. It Is truo that some liquor
la sold In bulk by members of tho asso
ciation that gets Into the bands of men
who sell to soldiers and sailors, but It
Is a very small percentage, and a ruling
by the Court covering the traffic In
plnt and half-pint flasks would vir
tually wipe out this trade. We havn
.tried to, 'convince tho District Attorney
of this, but evidently have failed.
Another argument hn advanced
gainst tho suggestion was that tho
"bootlegger" could buy all tho liquor
he wanted outside of Philadelphia.
"EVen If the Government should step
In 'and order a barred zono that would

Ilanleln Demand) Aetlon
That the situation Is serious Is em
phasized by a statement of the frank
opinion of Secretary of the Navy
Daniels.
"Mr. Daniels," said Mr. Kane, "Is
firmly convinced that drastic action may
b,e necessary to put the liquor men out
of, business by the extension of the bar
red zones about the military and naval
establishments for the lawful distance
,,ot five miles. If the five mile rule Is

WATER BUREAU HEAD
WARNS OF A CRISIS
Chief Davis Says Improve-
ments and Extensions Are
Imperatively Necessary
Iong neglect of Councils to provide
fundg for Improvements and extensions
to the city's C8,000,000 water plant has
brought about a condition that Chief
Davis ' declares Is dangerous. After
y'eara of forcing the machinery now In
service, the chief says a crisis Is due
unless quick relief Is given.
According to tne annual report Just
submitted, the earnings of the Water
Bureau are greatly In excess of past
years and this reBUlt is shown In the
face of a free water list that would
add several hundred thousand dollars to
returns, If abandoned.
In view of the financial Improvement
Director Datesman, of the Department
of Publlo Works, ahd Chief Davis, of
tha Water Bureau, believe some finan
cial provision should be made this year
for betterments.
The report showB the works earned
a net profit In 1917 of $1,500,000, equiva
lent to a dividend of a little more than
"per cent on the Investment The water
works as operated, represent an expendl

FOOD-SAVING TEXTS
ISSUED TO CHILDREN!
School Lessons Teach Adults,!
Too, That Warfare Means
Sacrifice
A series of food conservation les
sons, prepared by the United States
food administration for the school 111 I
dreu of the city but guaranteed to make
good rt ading for Philadelphia house
wives nnd Pennsylvania in gcmral, lo-
day were presented In the classes.
The lebMins have luni prepared In
help tho children understand tho vital
need fnr national food conservation and
to emphasize that warfare means sac
rifice and saving as well as lighting.
Today's lesson begins with the funda- '
mental principle upon which the work ol
the administration tf based. II Is cy-
ciliated t Impress upon the children a
sense of Justice to the soldiers lighting
ill France.
Tho lesson In part follows:
"What can we do to help save the sol
dler boy's life? Wo muH see to It that
he gets all the supplies of every nort and
will help to make lihu safer. What docs
he need? Itlfles, cannon, shells, dna
mlto and airplanes. All these things
ho fights with, but be needs many more
things also. There must be tents, lum
ber for cabins, for warehouses, f..r
stables, tools to build and dig with,
horses, mules, oats nnd bay and harness,
motortrucks, harrels and barrels of gas
ollno and oil, wire, telegraph instru
ments, telephones; to entry all these
.things from the ports In franco, to the
supply depots In the camps thero must
be locomotives and cars, rails and ties,
and even new railroads. Then to carry
all the things across the sea thero must
bo ships, ships ships, and the U-boats
are sinking ships so fast that we must
build as no nation ever built before. All
these things the soldier must have to
save bis life; all tbeso things to work
with besides clothes to keep him warm.
'ft ..r.i.-u.i tlm .nldlnf t.iliul
' "' "- '-- -. ."
soldier must nave
fonli to(, dour, sugar, butter, beef, ham
bacon, lard, cans of peas, tomatoes, ap
pics wagon loads, carloads, tralnloads,
shiploads. Every day he must have
food. If a stream of food wagons went
past your door without censing every
minute of tho day and night It would
not carry enough food to keep tho Amer
ican urmy, and now that army la getting
bigger every day. More than that, we
must also send food not only to our
own soldiers, but. to the soldiers of
France and ICngland and Italy, and to
the other French, English and Italian
peoples as well.
Poles Indorse President's View
The partition of Poland attempted by
tho Herman Government "wait the sub
Jtct of a strenuous protest registered hv
an audience of 5000 at a mass-meetl-m
of roles yesterday ut tho Metropolitan
Opera House. The United States was
urged to resist "all territorial rcadjust
n"nts accomplished by tho arbitrary
order of the (Jerman conqueror under
conditions of martial terror."
PLANS RUSH REPAIRS
FOR FAIRM0UNT DAM
Datesman Asks $45,000 for
Temporary Work Masonry
Structure Later
Director of Public Works Datesman
proposes to repair nnd strengthen the
Falrmount Dam without further delay If
Councils will give him the funds neces
sary for tho work, It was announced
today, He has requested $45,000 to be
appropriated to start the work,
It was the hope of Director Dates
man to replace the present .Falrmount
Dam with an entire new structure, tho
prepared plans providing for a mason
ry dam that would represent the last
word In construction of this kind. The
present dam Is a timber structure. Ne
cessity for placing It In first-class con
dition Is pressing.
Serious damage to the dam would not
only affect the water supply for the two
pumping stations but It might result In
a flood along the banks of tho Schuyl
kill lllver south of the dam.
Director Datesman feels that with the
expenditure of $45,000 the dam can be
vastly Improved and Its condition
brought to such a point that It will last
with more assurance of flrst.class serv
ice until such time as Councils can allow
sufficient money through the medium of
a loan to replace the dam with one of
maspnry.
The calculation made as to the cost of
a new dam Is that about $400,000 will
be required for the work. The original
Falrmount Dam was constructed In
1819, Just one year short of a century
ago. This dam was replaced In 1872 by
the present 'dam. The dam underwent
extensive repairs In 1904 and since then
minor repairs have been made.

MRS. ANNE BERRY DIES .
AT BISHOP-SON'S HOMeI
Had Hoped to Hear Church -
man Preach on Her Ninety-
third Birthday
MKS. ANNE BEBRY
Mrs. Anne Herry, mother of lilshop
Joseph F. Ilerry, head of tho Philadel
phia Methodist Conference, now conven
ed III this city, died this morning, at
f her home, 030 .South Forty-eighth street.
She was ninety-three, years old yes
terday. Her death, while hastened by her ad
vanced age. was duu to a fall on the
stairway of her home three weeks ago.
Mrs. Herry was ordered to take to her
bed and until yesterday seemed to have
a chance for life. Last night, however,
Mie was attacked by severe pains nnd
tho outlook for her recovery became
dimmed
The lilshop, overwhelmed by grief at
tho serious aspect of his aged mother's
'.llness did not preach the conference
sermon yesterday at the 131st annual
session of tho conference, over which ho
Is presiding In Simpson Memorial
Church.
Before her marriage to th Hev.
Francis Herry. a Methodist minister of
the Michigan diocese, Mrs, Herry was
Miss Anne Law son. After her husband's
death twelve years ago, she came to
Philadelphia and since mndo her homo
with her son, the lilshop,
Hho was always deeply Interested In
the work and doings of the Metlmdlst
Episcopal Church.
On Sunday morning, February 24, 'she
arose as usual to spend the day about
tha house. She became suddenly dizzy
and fell down tho steps of her home,
breaking her hip.
It had been Mrs. Berry's ambition
to bo in church yesterday, on her birth
day, and listen to her son deliver his
conference sermon. She was unable
to do so, however, and, Instead of pre
paring to experience a Joyous occasion,
the household was preparing for her
death, which the physicians said would
only bo a matter of hours.
While tho Illsliop was unable to de
liver the sermon yesterday, as was his
custom, he made some mention of tho
seriousness of his mother's Illness. With
eyes bedlmmed with tears, Bishop Ilerry
said :
'Today Is my mother's nlnty-thlrd
blrthl.iy. We had planed n different sort I
or a birthday. Three weeks age mother
said to me eti.it she didn't want people to
send flowers and make it fuss over heri
but she did want to attend the con
ference love feast on her birthday, and
after tho love feast hear me preach my
sermon, Instead, sho Is lying there, with
her fa eo whlto as a result of great
suffering, She cannot bo with us In
this great congregation, praising (lod,
but very soon, In a tew days at most,
sho will Join the chorus above."
Many In the congregation wept as the
Bishop predicted the death of his mother
and Introduced another minister to
preach the sermon for him.
Besides Bishop Berry, the aged woman
Is survived by lhreo other sons Dr. H.
O. Herry, a Burgeon In the American
army, now In France with the rank of
majcr! Dr. W, F, Herry, a noted sur
geon of Nevada, and Edward A. Berry,
of California.

GORE IN SENATE FIGHT
FOR WHEAT BILL RIDER
Demands Two-thirds Vote on $2.50
Wheat Price Move to Control
Probe of Packers' Books
tVnuhliiKtnn, March 18. The Senate
today was Involved In a bitter fight
over an effort led by Senator lore, of
Oklahoma,, to bang two Important rid
ers on the agricultural appropriation
bill.
The first of these riders Is an amend
ment for $2.50 wheat. Notwithstanding
President Wilson's opposition, Senator
Gore, a, frequent Insurgent today de
manded the suspension of tho Senate
rules to make tho rider In order. His
motion requires a two-thirds vote, and
although sentiment Is fairly strong In
thu Senate for $2.60 wheat Indications
were that the movement would fall.
Senator liorc as chairman of the agri
cultural appropriation bill, takes the
position that Aiqerlca will not obtain
lb maximum of wheat nroductlon neces
sary this year unless the price to the
farmers is materially increaseo. i us
tails to get tne price increased oy ac

DAYLIGHT-SAVING PLAN
TO CATCH APRIL FOOLS
1 Simple Ones to Suffer if They
Don't. Advance Watches
March 5U
Assuming that President Wilson will
sign tlio dnyllght-savlng bill, the only
certain forecast of Its effect Is that
theie will be a larger crop of April fc.ols
than In former years. Tho bill provides
that all timepieces shall be set ahead
one hour at '.' o'clock on tlio morning tit
March 31 ICaster Sunday. Tho next
day will be April I. when fools urn tra.
dltlonally suppored tn bo at large.
Among the fools will br. thoso persons
who have failed tn ohe.v thn mandate
.f the law to ndvanco the Imnr hand
of their watches or clocks an even sixty
minutes. Otherwise all will be sub
stantially as It wns before.
A serious canvass of the clly's Indus
trleri manufacturing, fliiamda'l. railroad
as well as Its domestic life, failed
In find u single person who objected to
the 'proposed new order of dally routine,
and most persons gave unqualified ap
proval. An oll'.clal of the i li,imbcr of I'om
inerce said that with tare exceptions,
Hie entire membership of that body In-dori-rd
the daylight saving proposal. It
was explained that morn work Is done
and done with apparently less wasting
of energy In the niotiilng than in the
afternoon, It was therefore a good
thing for both manufacturer and worker,
this ntllcl.il observed. II was added
that the workers In factories were glad
of thn opportunity to gel home earlier
(by the sun) and were not objecting at
all to getting to work earlier (also by
the sun).
At the Philadelphia and Heading linn-
j way and Pennsylvania liallroad onices
it wiiM said that tlie law wolllrl inakn no
appreciable difference with their servlco
except inai some iuoiiiiiik iianm iiiikih
nave to have more cars nod oincrs less.
The Mime for certain afternoon trains.
This was explained by the prediction
that many persoiH ace ustnmed in taking
I'artsln trains now might not adjust
themselves to taking the same trains on

..our KUC.stH niy d as they please, but
our employes must enmo an hour earlier

In a few typical lmmes where servants
are employed. It was emphatically said
that "If breakfast Is served an hour
earlier (by thn sun), dinner will have
to bo nerved uit hour earlier (by the
sun), or theVnok will go on strike.
And in home's where tho wife or
daughter e-ooks the meals It wns most
emphatically Insisted that "what. Is
sauce for the gooso has got to be sauce
for the gander."
All of these domestic Interviews, it
was apparent, were directed at per
