The Wandering Jew, whose chief com
plaint used to be that he never could
find decent room and board by the
week, hasn't a thing on Major Hugh
Carmlchael, lately a warrior In France,
and now an Ineffective hotel strategist.
The Major came from N'ew York to
Philadelphia to get a room. He went
back to New York today, announcing
that ho was ready to Join tho Salva
tion Army or go back to France If he
can only find a place to sleep.
While he was here ho slept In a
Pullman berth until the car was shunt
ed off on a freight siding and a brake
man, whom the major suspects ot being
In the pay of the Bolshevlkl, routed him
out In the cold winter dawn and made
him tramp the streets.
Tho major was willing to speak about
it today as he planted one booted foot
firmly on the steps ot a New York
express.
"They told me." he lamented, "that
this Is the 'City of Homes.' Of ionise,
t didn't expect much of New York
But
"I had been tramping atl day lp
New York nnd the nearebt Imitation I
could get was two feet of bar space as
long as I kept them coming. Some one
whispered t me that there was lots of
space In Philadelphia. Ho said they
often rented a room and a bath to one
person,
"I took an owl train and bought a
Pullmnn berth. 1 had Just fallen asleep
when the train reached here. They took
my far and my berth and myself to a
siding and tho next thing I knew a man
with whiskers put his head In and told
mo the train had stopped
"I knew the train had stopped I
tiled, to tell him so. nut it seems that
he had orders to sec that no one slept
la the car after It had stopped.
"I got out and began a march around
the city.
"I will say one thing for the hotel
chrks of Philadelphia: thev show their
sympathy for tho wayfarer. Three of
them nearly burst Into teais as they
told 1110 that the only way they could
accommodate me would be to go up- j
stairs and throw a civilian out of the j
window. I offered to help ono clerk do
this, but he failed to show the proper
clan, or esprit de coips. as wu say In
France.
"I marthed around all das until noon.
They offered to lake my name and notify
me. You'd havo thought 1 had an ad
dress to hear thein talk. '
The major yawned. Conductors and
other ofllolals were itiniilng to and fro.
Tho train for New York was about to
leave. The major rubbed his slightly
reddened eyes.
"O-o-o-a-a-ah!" hald the major ex
tending bin arms above his head and
showing his back teeth. "I am Blcepy."
He went Inside the car. Then a
thought occulted to him. He threw
open the window.
"If I flout land a bed In Xevv York,
he said with determination, "I'm going
back to a clean dugout In the Argonne,
and I'm going to stay there."
With this final threat he departed
from the "city of homes," n believer
henceforth In the axiom that "peace
hath Its horrors no less than war'"

His present wife was Mrs. Elalno

Story was the wife of D. Murray Boh
len, of Chestnut Hill. Mr. Story's first
wife was Mme. Hmma Karnes, ono of
the most famous present-day opera sing
ers. The artist and the former Mrs.
Bohlen wcro married In 190D.
.Tullan Story wns tho soil of W, Vf
Story, noted both as a writer and
sculptor. Tho dead artist's grand
father was Joseph Story, Justice of the
Supreme Court, and ono of tho most
noted Jurists this country ever produced.
Born at Walton-on-Thamcs, England,
when his parents were Hojournlng
abroad, Julian story also received his
education at English schools. As a boy
110 was sent to Kton, and later matri
culated at Oxford, vvhero he took his
degree In arts In 1879.
After his graduation he discovered
that he had Inherited his father's artistic
talent, and turned seriously to the study
of painting. He went to Italy to serve
his artistic apprenticeship, nnd through
out or ins lire, was devoted to that coun
try, spending most of his summers there.
When Julian Story began his artistic
caieerDusseldorf and Munich wero the
usual schools for American art students.
A score of Americans left these schools
and established an artists' colony at
Venice, under the leadership of a oung
Frenchman. Young Story went thero
and during his residence Imbibed some
of the principles of the three schools of
ait rtprestnted In the group at Venice,
i.ainely tho Geiman, French and llallafi.
Had Noted I'rtreptor
Among Mr. Stor'n art preceptors he
fuie a launching out on the career of
big aitlstlc achievement that won him
It.tei national recognition, were such
famous men as Frank Duvcneck, Bou
langer and Lefebvro.
One of Story's most ambitious composi
tions was nn "ICntombment of Christ,"
which was bought by tho I'eabody In
stitute, of Baltimore. Years afterward.
It Is related. Story navv his canvas
hanging there. "I wap almost surprised
to find that It was not half bad," he said
when telling ot tho experience.
For several years he engaged In paint
ing general subjects, and examples of
his work won their way Into the Na
tional Gallery, at London, and talons
at Paris and eltevvherc.
For years Julian Stoiy has been
known as one of the most successful
painters of famous people In this coun
try or abroad. A splendid full length
portrait of Madame liunes, then his
wife, was shown some years ago at the
Academy ot the Fine Arts here. Many
Philadclphlans have sat to hhn
Tine Portrait ot Sprout
One of the most life-like poi trails he
ever painted was of Governor Sproul,
ot that time a state Senator. Charles
Custls Harrison, then provost of tho
University of Pennsylvania, was an
other subject. He painted a striking
likeness of Thomas Dolan, financier. Ills
commissions for portraits came from all
the great cities of this country. His
studio apartment lit tho St. James Hotel,
where he had a special suite of rooms
built for him under the roof, with a
celling of two stories deep, was a mu
seum of art treasures.
Duilng the years that he resided here
Julian Story came to consider himself a
Phlladelphlan, despite his New England
ancestry. He went for the summer to
his studios In France and Italy or spent
the summer months traveling on the
Continent. He was a familiar figure In
nil tho capitals of Europe nnd at the 1
noteu watering p'aces ana pleasure te
sorts. During tho jears of his success as an
artist Mr. Story won many honors,
among them election to the Legion of
Honor of France. Ho wns a member of
the Society of American Painters, J'arls,
and the Society of Portrait Painters,
London, as well as numerous other noted
bodies.
Ho held the third-class medal nnd

The hill soon to bo submitted to the
Legislature by the Philadelphia Charter
rommltteo may call upon Ihe c(ly of
Philadelphia to do its own street' clean
ing, sewage and street repairing;, and
collect ashes, gafbnge nnd 'rubbish. This
Is forecast In a statement Issued by
Powell nvans, chairman of tho Commit-
teo en Publicity, "
Tho subcommittee held an Important
meeting at tho IUcquet Club Saturday
afternoon, when various provisions of
tho charter bill wcro discussed. It Is
understood that tho matter of city con
tracts was thoroughly threshed out and
plans made to fight to the end contractor
rulo In Philadelphia. Part of tho state
ment Issued by Mr. Evans reads:
"Tho . Philadelphia charter commit
tee's sub-commlttce on charter, which
Is studying and analyzing tho problem of
breaking this city loose from tho grip ot
political contractors and assuring that It
shall retain this new freedom permanent
ly, has felt strongly that tho only effect
ive method to really achieve this aim
was to stop the city dennltely and per
manently from contracting unspedflaele
work llko street cleaning, stroet and
sewer repair, ashes, rubbish and garbage
collection, etc., and perform such work
directly itself.
Cltr Wenld Do TTork
"This conclusion, It enacted Into law,
would mean that the city will doubtless
hereafter ltsolf perform such unspeclfla
blc work, It was urged by those who
believe In the supremacy of principle In
law and in the development of complete
home rule hero that the city government
should have freedom as to whether work
like that above described should be done
by tho city or let out on long-term con
tracts, and hence tho conclusion of the
wisdom of leaving the city government
freedom In this respect, but requiring
that It can only be exercised by consent
of not less than three-fourths vote ot
Council, with i,pproval of tho Mayor, a
provision being attached to the payment
of 'moral claims' by Cbuncll In tho fu
ture"
In Its statement the charter commit
tee elves facts and figures showlnc
how inunMpal work Is carried on In
many of tho principal cities of tho coun.f
try. The report shows that New York
city does Its own street cleaning, street
repairing and collection of ashes and
garbage. Chicago has directly handled
Its Btreet cleaning and nshes and
garbage collection for moro than twenty
years. In Boston, street cleaning Is .
done by the city forces, whllo street
repairs are mndo by the city with the
exception of asphalt pavement, which Is
let out by contract. In tho thickly pop
ulated districts, the city collects Its own
ashes. The statement .also sets forth
other cities which perform their own .
street cleaning and ash and garbage col- I
lection.
Appeal for Policemen
"Bid tho country ot a new kind ot
Hun and abolish the slavery that en
thralls our policemen," was the appeal
made to the congregation of St, Stephen's
Churchc yesterday by the Biv. Dr. Carl
B. drammcr, who spoke on the need of
a new charter for tho city of .Phila
delphia. "It Is the business of the religious
people, to arise and do something. Let
every man In the churoh vote," said
Doctor Grammcr. "Be ready to match
the new spirit of the men who fought
for freedom and who can't come back
to aid in fighting corruption,"
Doctor Orammer Bald he had on his
desk at that moment a, petition signed
by 3G00 policemen, sent to him as the
president of the Interchurch. Federation,
asking his aid to free these civil service
men from the boss rule.
City Dullness Club Luncheon
Tho City Business Club held a
luncheon In the Hotel Adelphla today.
Tho members were addressed by Dr.
Milton Howard Nichols on the "Love
and Laughter of James Whltcomb Itlley,

for Philadelphia.
