Insurgents Express Confidence
of Victory With Balloting Re
sumed This Afternoon
MANY VOTES CHALLENGED
Balloting will be resumed this after
noon for managers .of the Touhg
Women's Christian Association Only
IOC votes have been cast in the three
days' bafloting.
Followers of Mrs. Joseph A. Hud
fnn, president of the Philadelphia Y. AV.
C. A. were given n blow when Miss
Tbbr Ilartzcll, financial secretary for
the last three years of the Kensington
branch,- tendered her resignation so she
could vote the insurgent ticket.
In spite of Miss Hartzcll's business
nfplintion with the Y. AV. C. A. her
voto was rhnllenged. Her vote was
challenged by William H. Peace, coun
sel for the faction now in control, with
the following formula spoken after vir
tually every vote:
"I protest the vote of Miss Hartzell
because she is not n member of the
i. AV C. A. and lias never been no
tified by the Y. AV. C. A., at Eighteenth
nnd Arch streets, thnt she has been
elected to membership."
Challenging fit votes by both factions
continues to characterize the election
sessions, nnd it is obvious at least
three more days will be needed to com
plete the election if all of the 1700 mem
bers entitled to vote cast their ballots.
The session last night was continued
n few minutes beyond tliu customary
closing hour to permit three negro
women, who declared they could not
come again, to cast insurgent ballots.
The vote of Mrs. Hobert Diniger,
daughter of Mrs. Hudson, was cost for
her mother's faction last night without
challenge.
Leading representatives of both fac
tions are closely watching the proceed
ings of the election.
No disorder mars .the sessions. At
the close of last night's balloting shortlv
after 10:30 John M. Scott, master o'f
the election, appointed by the court,
said: "I wish to thank both sidcis for
the excellent order that has been main
tained throughout the voting today."

"Advertising begins when a baby first

Pedagogy Quartet Club Sup
ports Dismissed Teacher
in Statement
Declaring thnt "songs of i decidedly
inferior quality are used in many of
the public schools," the Pedagogy
Quartet Club has sided with Bussell
Hancock Miles, the former tenilier of
the Bllwood Public School, dismissed
for insubordination, in his controversy
with the Board of Education over the
case.
K. C. Korbeck, in a statement issued
for the club, of which lie is president,
today said :
"In the opinion of the club Mr. Miles
is it man of exceptional education and
of such unquestionable judgment ns
makes it difficult to believe that he
could be guilty of conduct which would
lead his colleagues to petition for his
removul."
Here reference is made to a state
ment signed by every member of the
faculty of the Ellwood School, in which
it was said that they would have gone
to "higher authorities" if Mr. Miles
had not been removed.
! The statement of the 1'edneoE.v Club
continues :
"Hegurding the type of music, which i
seems to be the iciiter of this discussion,
the club wishes to state its knowledge,
of the fact that songs of a decidedly '
inferior quality are used in ninny of
the public schools. The club desires toi
go on record in protest against these
songs, and desires to enlist the co-operation
of all individuals jinil organi
zations in establishing such a public
interest in the matter as to amount to
a supervision of the schools by the
public who owns them."

instance, he wrote: "Do ns you like,

steward preferably Francis. As for"
the Dutch girl in the kitchen, jou can

The content of the letter does not indi

it is just possible thnt Mrs. Washing
