VARE ADWIITS SPROUL
E
Senator's Forces Pass Gover
nor's Recommendations Un
opposed to Revisionists
EARLY ACTION IS EXPECTED
Whether there in to be further fac
tional fighting over Philadelphia's, new
charter t ill depend largely upon the
attitude taken by charter levisioniMi
toward Onrernor Sproul's recommenda
tions. Senntor I'dwin II. Ynre, leader nf
the forces which so far have opposed
any extensive revision of the Bullitt
bill, reiterated this afternoon that he
would be guided b what the Governor
wunt.
Senator Vate nnd his friends will nc
ci'pt us final, the recommendations nF
Governor Sprnul.
Both the advocates nf charter te
vision und the leaders of the Vnre fones
nre agreed on one thing; that Governor
Sprout will have the final say on what
charter legislation is passed by the As
senihly. The ihnrter revisionists, however,
plnn to stand pat on the Woodward
bills in virtually their present shape
and insit that they be pul through
without serious changes.
Senator Wire's View
"Whatever revision i made in our
charter iv n matter for Governor
Sproul.' said Senator Varc today.
"His judgment in the matter will
be final. Whatever position he takes
will be entirelj satisfactory to my
friends 1 hae stated this many times
bpfore, as far back us last January."
Senator Vare's remarks, together
with the action of himself and follow -cr
in not opposing final passage of the
Woodward bills in the Senate last Tues
day are taken as nn indication that the
Varc forces will drop further active op
position to any phases of the bils and
abide bj the decision of the Governor.
Members of the charter rcvisiorl sub
committee which drafted the Woodward
bills met last eening in the Chamber
of Commerce and decided to stand by
those measures in substantially their
present shape.
"One amendment was discussed and
probably will be proposed while the bills
are in committee in the House," said
Thomas Racburn White, chairman of
the subcommittee. He declined to say
what the amendment was.
Senator George Woodward, sponsor
of the bills, said three weeks ago thnt
it was a question whether it wns better
"to tight to a finish for the bills in
their present shape and go down with
colors ffying rather than nccept amend
ments." Governor's Will PrecaIN
"If the Governor insists on amend
ments, what he says will go," Doctor
AVoodward announces.
The charter revisionists are expected
to state their position on the charter
situation within the next few days.
Kither John C. Winston, chairman of
the churter revision committee; Powell
Hyrns, publicity director, or .Mr. White
will ii-sue a statement defininc the nosi-
iion or me cnarter revisionists.
Governor Sproul assured the nennlo
of Philadelphia n new charter in an in
terview which he gave Thursday. He
sain it woukl "be n broad. lvnrknM.
cnarter, but cmnhasized (lint it ,.,,i,i
contain "no fantastic provisions "
The Governor, who returned to his
home in Chester late last night from
Washington, said there would be noth
ing done on charter legislation next
week.
He is carefully studying the charter
bills nnd expects to see uction toward
ii definite solution of the charter situ
ation week after next.
Mr. 'White announced that he would
go to Harrisburg Monday to confer with
charter revisionists on the final provi
sions of the bills.
RAIN HALTS DEDICATION
Electric Company Athletes Postpone
Exercises at McCall Field
Dedication of the Philadelphia Flec
tric Company's athletic field nt Kelly's
I.nne, in honor of Captain Howard Clif
ton McCall, which was to have taken
place this afternoon, was postponed

B. McCall, president of the electric
company He was killed in action July
JO, 101S. while lending Compnny G,
Fifty-ninth Infantry, into buttle. Tie
was posthumously awarded the Dis
tinguished Sen ice Cross.
UNCERTAIN AS TO JUDGESHIP
Sproul Indicates Naming of Demo
crat, but Hasn't Made Selection
Governor Sproul said today that he
had not made up hix mind as to whom
he would appoint to fill the vacancy
in the Common Pleas Court caused by
the death of Judge V. W. Carr.
"I have not decided definitely," the
(iovernor said. "There is no hurry
and I expect to make up my mind one
of thefc days. I expect I will appoint
a Democrat."
As Judge Carr wji the only Democrat
on the local Common Pleas bench,
Democrats demand that the place be
awarded to one of their party.
Friends nf Municipal Judge Kugenc
C. tlonnivvell and former Judge Joseph
P. McCullcn are urging their claims.
Mr. McCullen is backed by the Demo,
cratic city committee and Judge Ron
niwell is being boomed by Democratic
stutc leaders who supported his guber
natorial candidacy.
Kdgar W. Lank. Democratic city
chairman, also is urged for the place.
Ilecuuse of the strong rivalry between
the Ronniwell and McCullen candi
dacies "a dsrk horse" may win the
appointment.
False Alarms Keep Firemen Buoy
Firemen had nee'dless runs through

TWO MORE 'BLUE LAW
AMENDMENTS URGED
New Measures Proposed Would
Permit Sunday Orchestra
Concerts Here
Advocates of a law lo legalize Sunday
concerts hove not givpn up their fight
to amend the "Blue laws." Two bills
which would permit Sunday concerts by
the Philadelphia Orchestra are now
pending m the Legislature.
So far the Assembly has put the ban
on nttempts to amend the "Blue laws"
by defeating the Rorke bill to permit
Sundnj evening conceits, "movies" and
lectures of an educational nature; the
Hough bill to permit Sunday afternoon
baseball where no admission is charged ;
the Sowers's bill to permit Sunday
sports and the Sowers's bill to permit
business houses to remain open until
f) a. m. Sunday.
The last three measures were nega
tived this week by the House law and
order committee. This action is con
sidered tantamount to defeat of the
bi!I.
The two orchestra bills now in the
House arc sponsored by Representatives
William J. Brady and Robert Bucker,
of Philadelphia.
Brady's bill would permit "public
performances of works of musical nrt
by symphony orchestras at which ad
mission may or may not be charged
after 1 p. m. Sunday," provided Coun
cils pass nn ordinance for such per
formauces. Buckcr's bill would permit
"not conducted for profit, but for the
sole purpose of maintaining symphony
orchestras and receiving substantial
support from voluntary contributions or
endowments" to give Sunday concerts.
The Rev. T. T. Mutchlcr of the
Lord's Day Alliance, indicated this
morning that opposition to any move
ment to liberalize the "blue laws"
would continue.

Philadelphia churches tomorrow, in,
common with lf.0.000 churches
roiignoiic the country, will link

tain 1,000.000 jobs for returning sol

is honoring the mothers of mnny of
the finest sons in the world."
The employment service's drive for
work for soldiers and sailors began last
hunday. One hundred thousand pot
ions were listed then for the return
ing heroes. .Miss Jarvis estimates that
tomorrow 1,000,000 jobs will be of
fered to service men "as the highest
honor payable to their mothers."
In commenting on the valuable co
operation the churches have give, Miss
Jarvis pointed out that many church
attendants nre men nnd small busi
ness men. Then. too. hr. mm. h
children carry home to their families the
message they receive nt Sunday school.
"""J every tami V sn renro.
scniea, auss .larvis continued, "knows
of places where there may be an open

not feel nt liberty to report it without
talking to the potential employer.
"The United States employment
service estimates that more than 100,
000 positions were listed Sunday. I
am pinning my hopes to nt least COO.O00
on Mother's Day. I shall not bo sur
prised, when full returns nro in, to
find thnt 1,000,000 jobs of one sort
or another nre offeretr on Mother's
Day to our soldiers and sailors ns the
highest honor payable to their mothers."
In many of this city's pulpits to
morrow clergymen will emphasize the
vital part played by the mothers of the
world in the progress of mankind. In
most of tho Sunday schools special ex
ercises will bo held tomorrow after
noon. 150,000 Churches to Observe Day
The Federal Council of the Churches
of Christ in Americn has issued an ap
peal to the 150,000 Protestant churches
in tho United States, asking them to
observe the day with special eierciscs
or sermons.
It was with the churches thnt Miss
Jarvis' idea .first bore fruit. The plan
spread until many secular organizations
likewise embraced it, and Mother s Day
is now celebrated in some of the Euro
pean countries ns well as in all the
cmerican states.
Ilecently, Miss Jarvis urged n practi
cal application of the principle of moth
erliness to be extended to soldiers nnd
sailors in this city who have no rela
tives here. She advocated the plan
of entertaining the Bervico men at pri
vate homes, particularly on holidays
when the homesickness is most npt to
seize on the young roan far away from
home and relatives.
