Marrlsliurc. JIny ".The two Phila
delphia charter bills pas-scil the Semite
today b.v a otc of thirty -cisht for and
tro against.
Senators Pattern and Gray. Philadel
phia, voted, against the bills. Senator
Varc did not vole.
Final passage of the bills was not
accomplished without a tnrm verbal
battle between rival champions, in
which personalities were exchanged and
the "shorter and uglier word" averted
only by metaphorical canioullage.
The "'verbal fireworks" were injected
unexpectedly into light over the charter
bills on the floor of the Senate when
Senator George Woodward; independ
ent member from Germantowu. urged
final action on the two charter bills on
the third reading calendar.
Senator Kdtviti II. Varc, who an
nounced that he had not iutcuded to
speak, took exception to Senator Wood
ward's remarks and branded references
toliimsclf ns "incorrect" and the rest
of the conversation ns on a par.
Senator Kdward AV. Patton spranx
to the defense of Vare and defended the.
financial system of Philadelphia which
had been attacked by 'Woodward.
Debate Not Anticipated
No debate on the measures, had been
expected. The two bills before the Sen
ate were the measure which is proposed
to supplant the present Itullitt charter
and the bill to abolish the office of Di
rector of Supplies and create n purchas
ing agent for the city ami county.
These nicasurcsWo report.'.! out of i
the Senate municipal affairs committee
yesterday by Senator Vare without op
position. There were fw sieetntors in the Sen
ate chamber when the debute begun.
Word of the exchange of verbal compli
mentsquickly spread through the Capi
tol. In a short time the aisles and gal
leries wero crowded. Independents,
Penrose followers and Vare men crowd
ed into the chamber to take iu the lire
works. ' Woodward Dissects Bill -
Senator Woodward took tho llpor
when the charter bill was called up.
He touched on all the points iu tho
bill.
"The fictitious differences between
the county and city" was bis first slap
at the present form of city government
in Philadelphia.
"When the Goternor advised the
charter committer, " said Senutbr
Woodward, "he used an expression :
'Iet the mice go through and stop the
elephants.' In other words, he told
uk pot to try and reform everything
In sight.
."We have tried to profit by the Gov
ernor's advice."
Then Doctor Woodward took up
Councils, and said that thrpugh the
present, system four or five men in the
finance committee of Councils could con
trol the whole body.
"We never have tried to rreatc a
council so small as five," he declared
in referring to the proposed single
chombsr council, lie cited examples to
show the irresponsibility of councils,
"A large body is irresponsible," he
said.
Discussing dual oQicchblding, the
Germantown senator said there were
seventeen dual otra.cenoldcrs in Select
and nine in Common:

Dr. I'pjohn demanded iu his resolu
tion that the convention withdraw its
indorsement of the national prohibition
amendment, given nt the session of the
snme body u ycnr"ngo. At that time'
Doctor i'pjohn made a strong fight
against approval of prohibition by the
convention, but was defeated.
Several. other important matters were
up for consideration nt today's session
of the com ention, including u readjust
ment of the tiunncial system, nud the
takiug otcr of .the Protestant Episcopal
City Mission.
Suggestion on Finances
Leslie W. Miller, one of the lay
delegates, proposed that in the event
the convention decides to create a
diocesan executive committee, the fin
ances of the diocese be entrusted to
this body. This would elininate the
present finance committee. Mr. Miller's
suggestion will be acted on later.
In connection with the finances of the
church, another suggestion was that
parish contributions to missions.be ex
empted when making up the parish tax
budgets for diocesan maintenance. It
was decided to let the matter go over
until next year.
The Rev. Louis C. Washburn, of Old
Christ Church, presented the lepnrt ou
the Protestant Kpiscopal City Mission
with the suggestion that the diocesan
convention elect a committee of nine to
supervise the mission's affairs. The
Itev. Henry M. G. Huff argued that this
was impossible becauso the mission was
a separate' corporation, and legally the
convention could not elect or even pro
pose its officers. The Ilev. Mr. Goff
moved therefore that action on the sug-

The Liberator is arming seteral dnjs
ahead of her schedule. She was not ex

that the transport would reach Ilreak

appeared there at ,"i o'clock this morning
came as a surprise to every one.
Had not the fog delayed the trans
port in the last lap of her trip, she
would have been well up the river at
the hour she left the Ilreakttutrr, and
probably would have docked by noon.
The early arrival of the Liberator
took tho welcome home committee by
surprise, nnd it was necessary to make
hurried arrangements for n boat to

time of the return of the Presideut from i

Tho German delegates to the

I will sign the pence treaty, but that
; Germany will not pay an indemnity.
In the. dibcussion of peace
terms by Germany through both
her official and unofficial spokes
men, she has invariably drawn a,
distinction between reparation and
indemnity, construing the latter in
effect as punitive damages. It
seems probable, therefore, that the
refusal to pay an "indemnity"
would mean, in effect, that she
would decline to pay whnt she re
garded as such damages.
