GOVERNOR ALSO FACTOR
Politicians over tlic State ale awnit
1ns with Keen Interest the proposed
visit ot Senator renroop to Ilnrri'burs
next week to direct the effort to pul
through the Assembly the Philadelphia
reform legislation.
The visit of the senator Is expected
to speed legislative machinery, vtlikh
tip td this time has moved slowly be-
cause of the delay over the inform!
measures, and to cause a lPsuinptinn
in the Legislature of tlie factional war- .
fare.
Governor Sprout's abenie fioui the
i
Capitol because of a leeurrcnce of the
rheumatic attack which sent him to Hot
Springs, Vn., last week in senrch of
react, is Dclicvcii to tie tne mm ou-
stacle which may stand in the way
J" "f
the determination nu the part of the
Penrose forces to fo..e the i-u- ....
"""
The Goieruor will he n big factor in
determining the fate of the leform bills.
So far he has excited himself jn an ef-
, . , , , ., . , , ., ,.,.
fort to Ming the wi.1 elements of he
republican party in tne city luccrncr
on an agreement b which a new rhoi
ter, satisfactory to nil hands, might l.p
drafted.
Is Up to dowTiior
It he should look with disfuvoi
i.n!
the plan to fight it out to a hnish in the
Assembly there is no doubt that a
sufficient number o the members ot the
Senate and House would heed his advice
to cause the threatened factional out-
; break to flivver.
1 Prospects ot action .m the .hatter
I bills are remote at the best because of
the' hearing which will be held Tues
; tlay morning before the sennte appro
; p'riutions committee on the paix bills
J " to increase District Attorney Hotan's.
t force ot assistants nnd defectives.,
Unless nil signs fail this hearing will
J ' be a long-drawn-out affnir and will be
J the start loft ot the factional fireworks
!i they an to be set off at all next
iVeek. District Attorney Rotnu Bays he
will appear beforo the committee and
; urge the passage of the bills, nnd Di
i rector Wilson threntcus to appear and
oppose them.
In addition to the threatened fac
tional outbreak, tlie Legislature faces
a fairly busy week when it reconvenes
Monday night after a ten -days' recess.
Suffrngists plan to have the Ramsey
resolution providing for a constitutional
nmondment made a special order of
business in the IIoue Tuesday.
Transit mils Reported
The. Daix transit bills, which arc
similar to the Salus bill of two jenrs
ago, will be reported to tlie SenatP.
These bills were reported out favorably
last week by u Senate committee after
n public hearing.
The liquor forces also plan to have
another bill introduced which will bring
about a line-up between the, "wet"
anil "dry" force. Heprehcntativp
William T. ltamse."s bill defining an
intoxicaut as a beerngc containing
more thun 2 per cent alcohol is nnf
! satisfactory to the "wets."
More trouble also is anticipated be-
- tween the "wets" and "lrys" when.

Jt Vlckermau enforcement measure. A

; Intimations have been mnrln ronii
that local independents may introduce
n ripper bill in the House next week.
The. measure has been drafted, but the
decision to draft has not been reached.
The bill would remove Director Will
41" Ir- W ilon . of the Department of
Public Sufety. from office nnd supplant
him by a commissioner appointed by tlie
Goernor. Such a measure is certain
to arouse the bitter hostility of the
Vare forces.

FREED IN MOVIE HOUSE
Patrolman Answers Wall of Camden
Lad Who Had Fallen Asleep
"Gosh, me mother will wallop mo for
this!"
Uleven-year-old Michael Ward was
moved to this conclusion after he was
freed from tho dark auditorium of a
movie house at Sixth and Market
streets, Camden, about 1 o'clock this
morning.
Martin "took in" the show last night.
He liked the first round, Btaycd for the
second, and fell asleep during the third.
And when the janitor locked up the
place he overlooked tho little fan who
was snuggled down in a seat over in n
shadowy corner.
Some time after midnight a pntrol-
man heard some lusty screaming and
pounding on the theatre door. He
called for re-enforcements and warily
pried the door. Out came tho weeping
youngster with his dire anticipation.
Tha youngster wbb sent home to his
distracted mother who lives at Friends'
avenue nnd Cooper street.

distance in such n shoit time after his
ascent at Eastchurch.
St. Johns, N. I. Apiil Jfl. -(By A.
P.) Weather conditions were slightly
Improved here this morning, but it was
considered Improbable that either Harry
Hawker, Australian pilot of the Sop
with plane, or Cnptnin Frederick P.
Bnynhnm, the Briton, who is to guide
the Mnrtynside machine, would attempt!
a stare toany on tliPlr proposed trans-
atlantic flight,
Hawker and Commander Grieve, his
navigator, took advantage of the con
tinued delays to have mechanicians in
stall a low-power wireless sending ap
paratus in the Sopwilh plane. It has
n radius of twenty miles.
Both the Sopwith nnd Mnrtynside
planes are enuinned with rpppivinr- Keto
with an estimated radius of 1!00 to ,'!.i()
miles, but Captain Rnynham carries no
sending apparatus.

will be misunderstood by steamships'. He
said ho was instructed, on leaving Liv

display a white light nbking for its posi
tion nnd a red signnl to indicate dis
tress. Last Sunday he was advised by
wireless the Sopwith plane would use a

thnt, owing to the conflicting orders,
there was grnc danger of the signals
being misunderstood.

SALE PLAN CONDEMNED
Two new features developed in tho
housing sltuntion today.
Churchwomcn throughout the city
in a "civic righteousness campaign"
declare that property owners arc evad
ing the lnw nnd becnuso ot crowded
conditions, 05,000 persons are Hying
in rear courts amid conditions which
I menace the health and life of the com
munity.
The Wes(, Philadelphia branch of the
Tenants' Protective Association has ap
pealed to labor unions in the ci(y
against the "Own-Tour-Ilomc"' cam
paign, declaring it to be "a ring of
speculators acting under the guise of
philanthropists."
The churchwotnen propose to carry
their protest to the City Hall aud de
mand enforcement o tho housing laws.
The movement originated with the
I churchwomcn'H association of the
Protestant Episcopal Church, of which
Mrs. Edwin C. Gricc is president. It
lias extended to all creeds nnd is Inter
denominational in character.
Keport From Women
Following a meeting ou Match 0, the
women began nn investigation of con-
i ditious, which will be reported in full
at n meeting to bo held in Holy Trinity
i parish house next Wednesday.
i Mrs. W. B. Abby, of 1000 Mifflin
street, chnirman of the housing com
tnittce, said today:
"The primary object of the church
women's movement is to arouse the
city to the desperate conditions iti the
housing sltuntion. Property owners
have been evading the law, and this
must be remedied. Sixty-five thousand
people in this city nrc living in rear
courts amid conditions which imperil
tin lives nnd health of nil who occupy
these houses.
In the letter of the West Philadelphia
branch of the Tenants' Protective Asso
ciation it is asserted that operative
btiildeis arc determined to build no more
homes until, rents arc advanced "at least
r0 per cent," nnd that capital is being
withheld from building enterprises until
tlie own-jour-home campaign has been
worked to the limit. ,
William II. Ball, who has leccntly
uccn appointed cunirman ot tne "own-your-home"
section, United Stntcs De
partment of Labor, said: "Operative
builders have stated that they will not
build until they can be assured of nn
adequate return on their investment. I
know nothing whatever of nny capital
which is being withheld from construc
tion for the benefit of tho backers of
he home-purchasing movemcut."

LIST ALREADY PREPARED
An attack ou the policy of thc'fcderal
railroad administration toward .railroad
men reluming from military or naval
service to ctoim their o)d politiohs is
the opening gun lu a campaign, inaugu
rated by former Lieutenant -Governor
Frank B. McCIalu to force employers
to give jobs to returning soldiers.
Mr. McOlain is director of the State .
Kmployment Bureau as executive ill-,.
rector of the l'enusylvnnln Comuiissiois&1
of Public Safety nnd Defense.
"Unless the slacker employes of Phil- -adelphia
and Pennsylvania come across
nud make good their promises made to
the bojs when thrjr -went to war that'
their jobs would be waiting for them,
when they returned, I nm going to give
out for publication the long list of"
names of such concerns I now hav,e in
my possession," he said today.
The list, lie explained, had been pre
pared at great labor and had been
checked and rechecked, certified nnd i
verified, until there is no clinnce of any
error. The! employers represented on
tlie list, he said, either arc not offer
ing their former employes returning -
from the service their jobs back or Are
offering them work nt from $10 to ?15'1
n week.
The attitude of the railroad admin
istration toward the men is governed
by a hard and fast seniority rule, he
said, which should be disregarded in re
lation to former service men. ,
"The federal railroad administration,
I might state, is one o e worst of
fenders, Railroads of the country sent
their employes out by the thousands to
light for democracy. And these men
were given the promise that their jobs
would be waiting for them when they
tcturned.
"The railroads are ready to carry out
this promise, mode in good faith wheri
they were privately operated.
