"There will bo a parade In Philadel phia, said the adjutant gcnernl, "hut It will not meet the dcrannds of the State. Briefly, the war chiefs in Wash; ington hnvc promised to send to this city nn lnfnntry brigade, one artillery regiment nnd a machine, gun battalion. These units will parotic, but when the nonresidents of Pennsylvania arc re moved from the ranks riot more than 0000 men will be available for parade purposes."

One thing Is cprtaln, namely, that If Philadelphia docs, not get a divisional parade no other city will." The adjutant gcnejal said that the wan chiefs informed him the parade of the JJew York division a few weeks ago cost' the government nbout $1,000,000, nndithn't It tied up the overseas move jnent of tropps several days. To avoid delnvn of such character, the war chiefs S'wlll nilliere to the rule laid down bv General March, chief of staff, and dis charge soldiers within forty-eight hours lifter their arrival in cantonments in the 'ijuited States.

The prison now hns about .10d more than its normal number of prisoners. 'Thi was the statement today of John W. McKenty, son of Warden McKenty, who is parole officer nt the penitentiary. Criminals from Delaware county and from the "hard coal" regions of Scran ton nnd Wilkcs-Barre exceed the num ber who are sent to the prison from Philadelphia. Tile crhne wave that has visited this city is even worse in other pnrts of Pennsylvania, according to the reporfs received at the penitentiary. Mr. Mclvcnty says that one of the principal reasons for the crime wave in the East is tho inability of men who were engaged in war wprk, and subse quently dismissed when the war ended, o return to their homes. Many of these men, he says, nre of the "unskilled worker" clnss. They came East through employment agencies who paid their railroad fare. They wcro drawn here by the offers of high wages. "Those who hnvo, been convicted in many cases turned criminal to get enough money to go back West, where they thought they might have n better chance of finding work," said Mr. Mc Kenty. Because of the largo number of men from other parts of the country who nre responsible for the crime wave in Pennsylvania, the police nnd detectives have difficulty in identifying crlpiinals. Twelve hundred prisoners may be handled comfortably in the Eastern Penitentiary, said Mr. McKepty. There are vnow 1407 prisoners in, the place, which necessitates putting three men in n single cell in some, instances. The prison high record for prisoners at one, time Is 1GQ0. j GRISCOM ESTATE TO FAMILY Will of Aged Bryn Mawr Man Filed at Norrlstown Ry the will of Willing 'M. flriscom. who died at ills Rryn Mawr hoiy, aged about ninety years, his estate "valued at "$100,000 and upwards," is divided fimong his widow, nnd five children, Ethel L.
