REFORM BILLS FIGHT
III SPROUL'S HANDS
"iGovornor Will Say Whether Op
posing Factions Shall Como
to a Real Showdown
PENROSE GOES TO CAPITAL
, Governor Sproul will hnvo the final
My ns to whether. or not the rlvnl Ton
'rose nnd Vnri forces nre to ciiRnKc in
finish fight OTcr the Philadelphia re
form lcsislntioa now pending in the
Legislature.
The Governor Is expected to renrh
his homo in Chester Saturday from Hut
Springs, Vn., where .he 1ms been n
enneruting from nn atlmk of rheuma
tism. Lenders of the Penrose faction,
it is understood, will put up the propo
sition of n fight to the finish on the
Woodward charter bills and the Isnuly
registration measures shortly after the
Governor arrives from Hot Springs.
Senator Penrose and the politicnl cle
meats aligned with him nre said to be
t anxious for a showdown on the bills
which have been sleeping in the Legis
lature for some weeks, nnd are anxious
to lock horns with the Vnrc forces in
factional strife.
Politicians to Gather Here
Senator Penrose is planning to go to
Harrisburg next week to direct bis
forces in the prospectic battle. A
scries of conferences between him nnd
up-stute Republican leaders, who nre
aligned with his faction, are scheduled
for over the week-end.
Politicians from all sections of the
state arc expected here! over Friday and
'Saturday. Senator William II. Crow,
Republican stnte chairman, may not
arrive until later. Ho is now at his
home in Uniontown.
Amendments to strengthen the char
ter bills, and add possibly a "ripper"
or two may be submitted at the coming
conference for consideration. So fnr
the governor is understood to have op
posed any proposed ripper legislation
'and has taken the attitude that the
irival factins in Philadelphia "should
reach an ngrcement on a new charter
for the city.
Persons in close touch with the Gov
ernor declare that he will have the final
say on the charter revision measures
and that neither the Penrose forces nor
the Vare forces will be permitted to
amend them in any manner which does
not satisfy him.
Vare lieutenants confidently assert
that a charter revision program will
be put through the Legislature, but
that it will contain radical changes over
the Woodward bills.
They contend that the governor will
demand a city budget system, tho elim
ination of the police and firemen from
politics nnd the elimination of dual
ocn hnldlncr. On the aucstion of a
small council, Vare men maintain it
was shown at the recent charter re
vision hearing in this city thnt the pres
ent system of n dual chamber has been
demonstrated to be capable and effi
r cicnt in handling the city's affairs.
Prepare "Ripper" Provisions
Indepcndtn lenders arc intimnted to
'be preparing one or more ripper mens

nr"l'V:rrpi an'urray of subject, so diver
ference of Republican leaders this week
Whether these measures will be np
proved or rejected could not be learned.
Two amendments to the Brady regis
tration bills have been prepared and
will be submitted to the Legislature
when it reconvenes next week. One
amendment chnnges the registration
dates fiom September 2, 4 and 0 to
September 2 and G and August 20. The
other would require division registrars
to make returns to the registration com
missioners on the Monday following
registration day, instead of Tuesday, as
is required under the present law. ,
George W. Coles, chairman of the
Town Meeting party, says tho first
amendment will give independents more
time to register. The other will afford
more time following registration days
In which to complete street lists of
Toters.

EXHIBIT OPENS
26 Artists Represented in No
table Collection of Paint
ings at Academy
SUBJECTS ARE VARIED
An exhibition of war paintings nnd
drawincs by eminent British nrtistt
opened this morning at the Academy of
the Pine Arts. The exhibit will do in
Philadelphia for one mouth.
The pictures arc being shown
throughout the country on behalf of the
British Government. Arrangements
for the tour were made under the di
rection of Raymond Wycr, director of
the Worcester Art Museum, Worces
ter. Mass.
There are 242 pictures in the col
lection, renresentine the work of
twenty-six artists. Of this number
103 arc the contribution of Sir Willinm
Orpen. The other artists are AV. R.
Adcney, Alfred Bentley, Muirhead
Bone, Frank Rrangwyn, George
CInusen. Jncob Epstein, John Everett,
Colin W. Gill, C. J. Holmes, Augustus
John, Eric II. Kcnnington, Sir John
Lavery, AVyndhnm Lewis, James Me
Bey, Bernard Mcninky, John Xash,
Paul Nash, C. R. W. Xevinson, G.
Spencer Prysc, William P. Roberts,
William Rothcnstcin, Henry Rushbury,
Randolph Sehwabe, E. A. Vcrpilleux
and Harrington Mann.
The subjects of the paintings and
drawings embrace every conceivable im
pression which the war made upon
them. Mediums emplojed include oil,
water-color, crnon, ink and pencil.
Orpen's Work Cynosure
Though in competition with the
paintings of Sir John Lavery, one of
the bett-known English portrait paint
ers, and other artists of the front rank,
who arc known in America ns well as
in J.nglami, Mr vv nimm urpen 11ns
sified and exquisite as to draw chief
attention to his own works. Sir John
Lncry has ho portraits iu the collec
tion. Sir "William Orpen was chosen
to officiallj paint the scene of the trans
fer of the German high seas fleet to the
Allied command.
Among his portraits nre those of
Marshall Foch aud Field Marshall
Haie. General Rawlinson nnd other
British and French high officers. Sir
William was himself constantly t the
front and one of the most finely done
and impressive of his portraits is one
of himself, clad in the British uniform
und standing iu a trench.
Three Tommies in Largo Group
The largest picture is one by Augus
tus John, depictiug three British Tom
mies, lighting each other's cigarettes in
front of a battered village house. It is
culled Fraternity. Another large oil is
by George Clausen and is called Renais
sance. It typifies, in the form of a
young woman in the nude, surrounded
by several other figures, the rebirth of
Belgium; It is ennobling in its con
ception, ably executed and beautiful in
color. A number of pictures in the
works of C. R. W. Xevinson, who is
exhibiting' the third largest number,
show a tendency towards tho cubist
school, as do also several others. Many
of the pictures of James McBey, who'
has the second largest number in the
collection, twenty-six, are dono in re
strained tones, although their subjects,
of course, appertain to war. They are
dono largely in brownish tints.
Some of the paintings are obviously
exaggerated in anatomical effects, in
order, no doubt, to convey an impression
other than one to be derived from mere
objective nnd technical inspection

mild like to lnv mv hands on
the mnn who snys I am sixty ycuii
old !"
Thus Adolnh Segal, builder Of mil
lions, recently married to u beautiful
New York pianist, opened an interview
at the Hanover Hotel, where he is liv
ing, ns he himelf expresses it, "incog
nito." Mr. Segal, whne sensational finan
cial exploits astonished the nation nnd
resulted in one man's suicide, is going
to rebuild his fortunes nn a greater
scale than ever before, he says. Ro
lenxfd from u sanitarium, where he re
mained for two jenrs and three months,
he has already arranged fcr the con
struction of ii giant sugar refinery nt
Wilmington, Del., he asserts, nnd has
"other operations" which include the
purchase of n newspaper. He will num
ber his cmplojes today by tho thou
sands, he says.
The former millionaire docs not
show even the fifty -three years that he
sajs arc his. Save for bis graying hair
nnd mustache he might pass for n man
fifteen years younger.
"Is Mrs. Segal in Philadelphia?"
was a question which brought nn out
burst. "It is outrageous to say she is twenty
jears old," said Segal. "She is thirty
four years old. Beautiful? jes; but no
child."
"Will your system of finance be dif
ferent in the future from what it was?"
hp was asked.
Will your publisher change his
views overnight? he counter-ques-qucstioned.
Never Dishonorable
"I have never done a dishonorable
thing nor hurt any man who did not
first try to hurt me," he added. "My
object in life has been to build. That is
what I will do for the rest of my life
but on a bigger scale than before. I
feci that I am building now for human
ity." The constructor of the Battram
Apartments, the Majestic Hotel nnd the
giver pf thousands of dollars to Phila
delphia charities will be the bamc in
future as be was in the past so he
said.
"It is not for money that 1 work, but
for achievement," was his way of put-.
nS "
And then the discussion swerved to I
the more personal topics. How bad he
met Mrs. Segal? "
"She is u pianist," he replied. "My
first wife was given to literature. She
wrote many tnings. iier dooks are nil
I have left, save "her photographs. I
want to give the books away. I have
fio sets . of live volumes each of her
works poetry, essajs and the like and
I want a chance to distribute these
books to some library, or to uuy one
who will upprccinte them."
Segal's room is filled with memoirs
of his former glory. He has even saved
blank checks on which is engruved full
length, a picture of his boy, then a lad
of twelve years. Mrs. Segal, it seems,
DOG'S INTELLIGENCE
FREES HIS MASTER
"Kelly," Military Poodle, Proves
to Court He's Not Pampered
Pet of Society
Asleep in a cell in the Hlcvcuth and
Winter streets police station today
were a poorly dressed man and a little
white dog.
The dog was wet and cold and snug
gled up closely to the prisoner. The
turnkey noticed that the poodle fre
quently licked the hand of the man, who
slent soundly with his arm tightly
wrapped around the frail little body of
the poodle. .
The prisoner gave his name as John
Ilaggert, and said he lived at I'cnnock
and Poplar streets.
Patrolman Turner said he arrested
! Haggert last night at Twelfth and
iAreh streets, ffhc dog answered the
description of one which had been
stolen from n society woman. Turner
! felt fcuro the poodle didn't belong to
'Haggert, nnd bo he arrested him on
,su8cion.
, Magistrate Grelis agreed that the cvi-
i dence against Haggert was slim. "If
u can Prove the dog is jours," said
,thc Judge, "we'll let you go."
I And even as the judge mado the sug-
igcstion, "Kelly" for that is the dog's
name whose instinct told him some
thing wns wrong, rubbed his damp lit
tle body against the prisoner's legs.
I Ilaggert straightened up and stood
like a soldier. " 'Kelly'," he shouted,
"stand at attention!"
The poodle stood on his hind legs
with head up proudly
"Show us how the Yanks chased the
Germans," said Haggert. The poodle
barked viciou'sly and ran across' the
room with head bowed.
"Halt!" commanded Haggert.
Little "Kelly" stopped buddenly, stood
on his bind legs, turned about-face, and
went to Haggert In short jumps.
Even the magistrate applauded
"You and your little army have
won," he said, "and you're dls
charged,"
"Attention!"' commanded Haggert.
"Kelly" jumped to his1 hind legs.
"Forward, march" said Haggert.

had left her newly wedded spouse to go
on n trip to Chicago via New York.
'You nre not lonely?" hegel was
asked.
"I get time to arrange my plans,
was his indirect reply.
"How did jou come to start the con
struction work on this "Wilmington re
finery?" Segal was usked.
During a Panic
"When I built the Bartram Apart
ment," he replied, "a panic was on.
They have referred to my 'indomitable
purpose' and a lot more of the like in
a special book whiclf they published
commemorating the Bartram,"
He paused for a moment.
"There is no such thing as good luck
and bad luck," he went on. "There is
only the purpose to win or the purpose
to lose. I have' .'won, and I will win.
The determination to lose is not born
iu me."
Mr. Segal, referring to his stay in the
sanitarium, said:
"My illness prevented me from doing
much good, either for Philadelphia or
for my country. "It wns uufortunate
tliut I should have been takou ill when
I was."
Throughout the interview he recurred
to "my illness."
"What of the future of the nation?"
he wns asked.
'Tor the United States," ho replied,
"I see nothing but prosperity. Wc are
in all the zones from the arctic to the
tropic from Alaska to Florida.
"Consequently we can 'produce all
things. We are able to give to the
nations of Europe the things that they
demand, and as long as we arc able
to do this we shall not suffer."
"But what nbout a panic?" was the
question. "Suppose, for example, u
millionaire banker thould shoot him
self." Again there was that expression of
i wrath which was first exhibited when
hjs aar. rmfi intn nuestinn
"Shoot himself? Shoot himself?"
said Segal. "If he does that he shows
that he is n Bolshevist a coward
afraid to face the facts or to face men.
I did not commit suicide!"
He produced a triungular cigar from
a most expensive case a cigar that
must have cost nearly half a dollar
w holesale.
"We will forget about Bolshevists,"
ho suggested.
And then be argued in a general
fashion the value of newspaper enter
prise. His one dream, he said, was to
create :
"A newspaper which shall be inde
pendent of any question of revenue."
And he concluded with the thought:
Hope is our happiness and our
health. Without hop.e we shall die."

By tho Associated Press
Washington, April 10. It was
learned authoritatively today that there
were no Amcricnu troops in the vicln
ity when a Japanese unit in Siberia
was wiped out recently by Russians,

and Vladivostok.

pedltion alone, and when the IlKhtitiB t10 board docs not increase their Balnrles
actually occurred there were no Ameri
cans in striking distance.
It was recalled by officials today that
General Graves had been .specifically
warned to abstain from interfering with
any factional fights in Siberia and cau
tioned not to mix iu the political situa
tion. It wns pointed out that the va
rious uprisings in Siberia hod resulted
in tho charge of Bolshevism against
the defeated party iu every instance.
It wns stated also that it was without
the province of the United States to
defend any politicnl faction or to try
to define the term "bolshevik" as used
in eastern Siberia.

refused to support nnv one of these
leaders against the others. ' Charges
have been made, however, that the
Japanese have bceu actively supporting
ouc or nnother faction during the dis
turbances that have aiiscn iu the Vladi

It is understood in official circles here
that the British aud I'lenrh forces are
under instructions similar to thosfe given

N.J. WANTS NATIONAL GUARD
V
Adjutant General Says Two Com
panies Are Needed to Preserve Peace
Trenton, April 10. Governor Edge,
through Adjutant General Gilkyson,
has officially presented to the chief, of
the militia bureau, at Washington, a
request for nuthority to organize nt
once two regiments of infantry national
guard in this state. He wrote:
"To meet any emergency within the
state during the period of the war there
were organized seven battalion1) and two
separate companies of militia upon
which was expended from state funds
for uniforms, equipment! and training
$300,000 ; nnd I am of the opinion that
now that an early return to peace is
anticipated, the stae should be relieved
of the great expense of further main
taining a militia force.
"During the past two months there
have been numerous labor difficulties iu
many sections of the state, aud at pres
ent there are strikes in Morris nnd
I'assaic counties involving over 20,000
laborers. The growing discontent on
the part of labor and the large tempor
ary foreign population increase the
liability of riot and disorder, which
facts in my opinion justify the author
ization by the federal authorities of uu
adequate, military force for the purpose
of securing proper protection for, the
people and industries of the state, and
to meet any emergency nnd suppress
riot or disorder which may arise beyond
the power of the local authorities to
quell."
