roe!, then does it himself
Dressed Like Film Star, Youth,
Arrested Sent to
Mere love of adventure has brought
twelve-year-old Francis Nugent no end
of trouble.
He is an ardent "movie" fan. Un
like other youngsters, however, he likes
the "villains" better thnn the heroes.
It wns his desire to emulute the "vil
lain" he saw in the last four-reel
thriller that brought him in contact
with the police.
The boy saw the culprit in the play
cut a pane of glass and gain entrance
to a house. .So Francis, according to
the police, broke a window at rtae rear
of the home of Robert Wilson, 409
Ripka avenue, gained entrance to the
house, tiptoed upstairs and took $20
in cash, some Liberty bonds and old
coins. That was on Wednesday night.
And now the scene shifts to

Indon, May 21.--(By A. P.) As
bearing on the possible fate of Harry

Grieve, who have not been beard from
since they started from Newfoundland
ln their attempted transatlantic flight
Inst Sundny, steamships which have ar
rived nt Liverpool report exceptionally
severe storms in the Atlantic on Sun

airplane could have lived wns encount
ered by his steamship early on Monday,
the storm causing tremendous seas.
The crew of the steamship Tactician,

"PLAYING POLITICS,"
VON TAGEN INSISTS
"Too Bad Partisanship Should
Befog Loan Issue," Builders'
Official Retorts
Chnrlcs von Tngcn, independent
Councilman from the Forty-seventh
Wnrd nnd leader of the independent
faction on the floor of Common Coun
cil, reiterated today thnt the Phila
delphia Operative Builders' Association
was "playing politics" in advocating
the passage of the $14,7(10,000 loan.
"Who is the legal adviser or coun
sel for the operative builders?" asked
Mr. vou Tifgen. "The answer to that
question might tell the story."
John II. McGarvey, chairman of the
executive committee of the Philadel
phia Operative Builders' Association,
replied :
"It is emphatically false that we have
any connection with a;iy politicnl or
gnnizntion, or are playing any one's
politicnl game. Men op the executive
committee of the Operative Builders'
Association represent every political
faction.
"It is emphatically false that our at
torney is n mnn nllied with the present
city ndministnttion ns is intimated.
Counsel for the Operative -Builders'
Association is George H. Detwciler,
himself a reformer in politics, nnd a
resident of Mr. vou Tngen's own wnrd.
It is easily proven thnt Mr. Detwciler
represents the Operative Builders' As
sociation, He will uppenr for us at
Harrisburg within a few weeks to argue
a complaint we hnve brought before the
Public Service Commission concerning
the U. G. I.
"I ennnot deny too emphntically the
insinuation that our motives in advocat
ing the passage of the loan nre nnything
else than n desire to go nhead with the
building of houses for Philadelphia.
"I do not wish to get into any poli
ticnl squabble. But it seems n shame
that partisan politics should be allowed
to befog the real issue."

FOURTH TO BE NOSY
AS OF OLD THIS YEAR
Din and Fireworks Expected to
Dominate Despite Fire
Marshal's Plea
Despite the appeal of State Firs
Marshal Butz, urging strict enforcement
of restrictive measures regarding the
sale nnd use of fireworks, dealers in
this city are preparing for one of th
noisiest Fourth ot July celebrations In
Its history.
The unrestrained joy of thousands of,
persons of the state, who want to "go'
big" in honor of peace and the return a!
of the soldiers from France, has caused
on unprecedented demand for articles 'I
of noise and fire.
Dealers hero fenr that the supply. of l
fireworks will be inadequate to the de--mnnd,
because the manufacturers have
been engaged in war contracts for the
government nnd have had no chance to
provide large stocks.
Fire Marshal Butz In his warning td ;l
mayors and burgesses in the state points I
out the menace nnd danger prevailing
in fireworks celebrations, which in 101S
caused several hundred thousand dol
lars' worth of dauagc by fire and killed
or maimed many persons.
Marshal Butz emphatically discount
nges the indiscriminate sale nnd use of
fireworks, nnd suggests n community
display under municipal control or some
icsponsible organization, where senti
ment favors "a noisy Fourth."
