flFFiriATS FAVOR
POLICE PAY RISE
All Approve Suggestion,
Except Finance Com
mittee Members
NEEDED, SAYS CATTELL
City officials, aside from those dlr oily
In charge of municipal finances, nre out
spoken In their Approval of the nunges
tlon of the Evbnino Tudlic LEoan
that policemen receive $S a diy ns the
lowest living wago for efficient men
under existing conditions. Keep up the
standard of living If you expect the men
to respect themselves and their posi
tions, was the sentiment expressed by a
number of officials.
Opposition to the plan. If It should
reach Couifflls, Is little short of certain,
however, as members iff the Finance
Committee recently pleaded lack of
funds when Select Councilman Harry
Trainer, of the Third Ward, begged that
tlia officers have a flfty-cent-n-day in
crease Instead of the twenty-flve-ernl
one Just allowed. Chairman Gaffney,
ot the Finance Committee, who Is re
carded as Mayor Smith's mouthpleco on
financial matters, when asked about the
$6 suggestion, said:
"I have nothing- to say. Now. get mi
right. I have nothing to say."
James U Lennon, president of Select
Council and a member of the Finance
Committee, after hearing of the plan to
Increase the pay of policemen, said":
"It has been my experience that you
cannot pay a good man too much for
his services, but In return he must give
the best In him and proper value. In
this case I am forced to ask the ques
tion. Where can wc find the money lust
at this timer
Dollar's Tower Dwindles
City Statistician Cattell, who lias
made an exhaustive study of living con
ditions In Philadelphia, In discussing
the suggestion, said:
"You must consider the purchasing
power of the dollar and how It has
dwindled. This Is the only way to
measure compensation In times like
these. Wealthy people can cut their
.savings, but a policeman living on $3.50
a day Is not likely to have any savings
to cut, nnd must cut his living. You
cannot lower the standard of living for
a. man, his wife and children without
lowering the standards of the commu
nlty. It Is a broad question that has
to be oonsldered In the light of present
conditions. A man is entitled to n
living wage, and If the purchasing
power of money cuts his wage below
that figure rome one Is bound to suffer,
and he quickly loses Interest In his
work. Present conditions call for emer
gency remedies, and there Is nothing
more certain than that living cost has
mounted far In excess of wage return,
not only In the case of policemen, but In
those of many other workers. Then,
too. It Is necessary to stop and think
that a policeman can leave the force
these days and get a great deal more
money from many private lines of en
deavor." Folieemtn for It, of Course
Naturally the suggestion was most
-welcome to members of the force, who
were much disappointed when Councils
a few weeks ago decided to allow them
only a twenty-flve-cent Increase from
their old regular pay of 3) 25 a day.
One big patrolman after reading the
editorial proposal whistled and said :
"That would be too good to be true,
but even at that It would only place us
somewhere near on a footing with the
money that our neighbors are getting."
The question of financing the plan
was one that no Important member of
' Councils' Finance Committee would dls-
cuas, other than to say It would cost
the city more than 11,000,000 for the
- remainder of thts year, and that no
such amount of money would be constd-
' cred at a time when there Is awaiting
action on some forty other requests for
' salary Increases. When the proposition
to transfer the funds from an unused
item and repay them with a temporary
loan at the end of the year was sug
gested by one member, he was promptly
met with the assertion that the tem
porary loan borrowing capacity of
.11,200,000 will be needed for other pur
poses than Increasing the pay of police
, men.

SUPREME COURT RULE
STAYS DEUTSCH TRIAL
Fifth Ward Politicians and Co
defendants Win Change of
Venue Hearing
RETURNABLE APRIL 29;
Another delny has been nvtdo in
the trial of "lko" Doutsch, Lieutenant
Hennett nnd live policemen of tho
Third and Do Lnncey streets station,
accused of murder, conspiracy and
other offenses ns a result f the Fifth
Ward primary I'.ectl i minder, which
was set for next Monday.
It Is one ut a m... . v.ies of legal
delays realized since last fall, when
the killing of (ieorge A. Kpplcy, an
acting detective, occurred. The new
delav, which will forestall uny legal
move nt least until April 29, Is in the
form of a icquest of the Supreme
Court for a change of venue to an
other county on the ground that pub
lic opinion Is so prejudiced here that
tho men could not be "fairly tried" on
the charge of murder.
Justice Krazer in ruling on tho peti
tions stayed all proceedings In the
Quarter Sessions Court and directed
District Attorney Hotan to show cause
why tho prayer of the petitioners
should not be granted. The lulo Is
made returnable In tho Supreme Court
on April 2'J.
Tho policemen defendants are Mi
chael Murphy, John Wlrtschafter,
Clnrenco H. llayden, Louis Fcldman
and Kmanuel Uram. All the petitions
were Hied by William A. dray as
counsel.
Averments are made the defendants
are guiltless of each nnd every one
of the charges, and that the prosecu
tion against them has been unwar
ranted nnd illegal from tho time they
were held by Judge Brown, of the
Jlunicip.il Court, sitting as a commit
ting magistrate, until their Indictment
by tho Urand Jury. Complaint Is
made against the conduct of the hear
ing by Judgo Brown, who, the appel
lants declare, repeatedly made re
murks derogatory to the accused nnd
plainly Intended to inflame nnd preju
dice the public mind ugnlnst them.
The proceedings before Judge Brown,
it Is asserted, were "unpaialleled In
the history of the Pennsylvania courts
and most spectacular, undignified and
illegal."
Tho petitioners then allege the
newspapers have printed almost dally
In their editorial and news columns
Inflammatory articles concerning tho
Fifth Ward cases, causing an Impres
sion in the public mind tho defend
ants are guilty of tho crimes charged.
Under such conditions, the petitioners
declare, it would be Impossible for
them to obtain a fair and Impartial
trial in this Jurisdiction.
Protest ulso Is made by the accused
policemen against the attitude ot Dis
trict Attorney Hotan, who. they bay,
repeatedly has asserted that they aio
not fit to eervo as officers of the law,
and such "statements also havo raised
a feeling against them In this commu
nity." Politics Charged
Tho petitions then refer to the Im
pending primary election, nnd charge
the prosecution, backed by one of the
political factions, Is attempting to
make an Issuo of the case In the
present campaign, and that the Dis
trict Attorney made no objection to
trying the case on Monday next. This,
notwithstanding that for years tho
same District Attorney would not try
such a ouse on tho eve of nn election.
The petitioners say they do not
know why the District Attorney has
depastod from this rule, "except to
aid In tho combination between the
antagonistic political faction nnd the
newspapers to use tho enso as nn
Issue In the State campaign."
Bennett attaches to his petition tho
fact lie was appointed a patrolman
In 1005 by Colonel Sheldon Potter,
then Director of Public Safety, nnd
that under the Blankenburg adminis
tration he was made a lieutenant nt
police, the position he now holds. He
sets forth he served In tho United
States army nnd was engaged In the
campaign in Cuba nnd saw activu
scrvico In the Philippine Islands.

Today they left Camp Meade to en
