jYard at Cornwells Denies Re
ceiving Word From Washing
ton to Continue Work
MANY LOSE POSITIONS
Word from Washington that the con.
tetructlon of wooden ships might be
continued as a policy of tho United
States shipping board had not yet
reached the' -Traylor Shipbuilding Cor
poration, at Cornwells, Pa., this morn
ing, whero two wooden hulls, partly
completed, havo been lying untouched
for nearly four months,
Samuel TV. Traylor, Jr., an official
of the company, said that not a word
had been received by his firm from the
shipping board as to what it intends
to do with tho hulls. In the meantime
the delay is preventing tbd firm from
making other use of the rest of the
plant.
The Cornwells plant is only one of
'many wooden shipbuilding yards
throughout tho country in which vir
tually all work was halted by the ship
ping board some months ago. At that
"time it was announced a new policy wns
being formulated with respect to wooden
ships.
Later statements were nindc by vnri
ous officials, including Charles 1'lez,
who recently retired as director general
of the Emergency Fleet Corporation, to
the effect that tho wooden vessels on
which construction had reached a cer
tain percentage would be completed.
Others were to be converted into
barges.
Hundreds of men were thrown out of
work when construction was halted on
the hulls at the Traylor yard. The
dispatch from Washington contained
no direct statement that tho shipping
board intends to resume construction
on these and other hulls lying in yards
throughout the country. It was said,
however, that such a policy was indi
cated ba a statement issued by the
board relative to the longevity of the
wooden vessel.

Bitter Contests Loom for Places
on Republican Board at Re
, organization Tomorrow
SURPRISE IN SIXTH WARD
Bitter contests for places on the Re
publican city committee whcnHhnt body
is reorganirrd- tomorrow was foreshad
owed last night when Republican ex
ecutive committees in the city's forty
eight wards met nud elected reprcscnta-
tlVPS.
The Varc, in overwhelming majority
on the city committee, made further
gains last night. In some bailiwicks
"rump" meetings were hld.
The Penrose men selected nnd the

Eighth ward; James M. Neeley, Ninth
ward; Holla Dance, Tenth ward; Teter

James J. Connolly, Twepty-flfth ward,
and Sigmund Gans, Thirty-eighth ward.
A surprise figured in the election of
the Sixth ward Republican committee.
This is known as the only Democratic
bailiwick in Philadelphia For fifteen
years Charles Love has represented the
Sixth ward Republicans at the big tent
at Eleventh and Chestnut streets. He
was opposed last night by Walter J
Littleton, n Yarc follower. Of the
eighteen votes polled Love received only
four. Littleton was defeated for Select
Council at the last election by Charles
A. Schwarz, n Democrat.
In tho Thirty-fourth, a AVest Phila
delphia ward, Magistrate Evan T. Pcn
nock was chosen to succeed John A.
McAvoy. Pennock got sixty-six votes
from the seventycommitteeracnt present.
At the Thirtyecond ward election,
fourteen ward committeemen, allied
with the Republican Alliance, were ex
pelled from the committee before the
election was held. As a result, Harry
R. Wildey, a real estate assessor, was
elected city committeeman to succeed
Joseph B. Fay, recently appointed as
sistant director of the Department of
Health and Charities.

flames had been extinguished by firemen
that they would return to their homes.
Many of the people were in their night
clothes, and in biraio instances furniture
was dragged into the street for safety.
It is not known what caused the fire.
The flames were first seen by a neighbor,
who turned in an alarm. The plac.e was
stocked with barrels of waste and oil

RISE FOR TEACHERS
HITS BUILDING PLAN
Construction Program Held Up
Until Instructors Are Assured
of Pay Increase
The building program of the Hoard
of Education will bo held up until the
teachcis nie assured a salary increase.
The finance committee of the board
yesterday blocked the effort of the
building committee to secure funds for
salary increases to members of the
building department on tho ground that
the teachers should be the first to re
ceive consideration.
John D. Casscll, superintendent of
buildings, said that the action of the
committee in sidetracking the provision
for increases of salaries in his depart
ment and the cmplojnient of additional
assistants meant thnt four new schools,
which were to bo started at once, 'will
be held up indefinitely.
Tte program for the department of
buildings called for a structural engi
neer at $3000 a year, one detail drafts
man at $2100, one assistant draftsman
at S1S00, one tracer draftsman at $1."00
and one mechanical draftsman at $2000.
In addition to these positions salary in
creases totaling $9423 were aEkcd.
John 'Wanamakcr led the fight
against the proposed increases and new
positions, takiug his stand on tho side
of (he teachers.

TERRORIST ROUND-UP
F
Chief Investigator Links Phila
delphia, New York and Wash
' ington In Outrages
NEW PRECAUTIONS TAKEN
William J. Flynn, chief of the bu
reau of investigation of. the Depart
ment of Justice, has1 definitely linked
Philadelphia, New York nnd Washing
ton together in the bombing outrages
of Monday, June 2, when anarchists
set bombs off in seven cities.
The room of the anarchist who at
tempted to blow up tho home, of At
torney General Palmer in Washington
and who was himself bloWn to pieces
has hpen located in New York. The
fact that he roomed in that city wns
sufficiently familiar with Philadelphia
to place a sweat band from a hat jobber
here in his hat and committed thc.crime
in the capital city is tken to mean
that there is a definite anarchistic con
nection between the three places.
"Things have broken good fur the in
vestigators on Sunday and Monday,"
Chief Fljnn Faid, "and if they con
tinue that way, an early round-up of
the "reds" can be looked for. If not,
the round-up will be none the less cer
tain, but will take a longer time."
Police in this and other cities are tak
ing extraordinary precautions today to
guard ngainst bomb outrages. This is
the anniversary of the execution of the
anarchist Itavachol, tho French "red"
lain for throwing a bomb into the
t'lnmber of Deputies on June 10, 1S12.

as superintendent of the institution at
a meeting fast night. Mr. Hewes said
that ns he had alrcadj ieigned uearl.v
a month ago from the superintendenev
such action was hardly ticoesarv . Mr
Hewes will continue s treasurer of Hie
institution.
The tiutees have been dissatisfied,
it is said, with the wuv the Institution
had been conducted and decided on the
removal of Mr. Hewes .
Regarding the act inn taken bv the
board, Mr. Hewes said : "I do not know
why they took such n step, as I am not
a mind-reader or seer. My report
as treasurer will show the institution
is in a good financin! condition, nnd 1
think my report in that connection will
be a sui prise to them.
"Of course, I never played any fa
vorite and alwajs worked for the best
interest of the hospital nnd not for in

rontinue to succeed, and I feel sure it
will."
