Hope for Break
Backed by statements from the Phila
delphia Operative Builders' Associa
tion, the Kensington Board of Trade
and other civic organizations, the Vnrc
members hope that enough pressure has
been brought to bear on the independent
members to force a break in their line
up of twenty-nine men to permit the
passage of n loan bill including all of
the original items for street and high
way improvements. Discussion of these
items has led to a bitterness of feeling
that is expected to result in some lively
tilts during the remainder of the term
of the present councilmanic bodies.
In the nveut a loan is finally passed
either by agreement, or after a fight,
Select Councils will have to meet .Tuly
,3 to take action on the measure. The
passage of a loan bill will be followed
by action on a large number of bills
outlining -work to be donn with the
money to be made available early in
the fall. Dependent upon the time con
sumed in loan discussion is the ques
tion of another meeting of Common
Council next week.
r.fforts will be made today to clear
the calendar and leave little or no
business for a future meeting. Bills
appropriating by transfer a total of ap
proximately $1,000,000 await passage.

ALEXANDER IS HEAD OF

More Serious Today Indianap
olis Selected as Next Year's
Meeting Place
A few minutes of transition from the
ridiculous to the sublime, if a huniuc&s
sesslou can be called sublime, and the
American Press Humorists had con
cluded the business meeting this morning
at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel, nnd
were once again free to follow the elu
sive pun.
But It is hard for them to take them
reives seriously, and therefore, even
during this business part of their con
vention, humor would crop In, like gold
in a salt mine, nnd it all started when
(Jrif Alexander, who is to bo president
of the organization for the coming
j ear, was introduced to (he members
as "it." Possibly the onerous duties
of the office warrant the bolder being
called "it," for there was no objec
tion to the pronoun on the part of Mr.
Alexander,
Tim Hubbard, of Indianapolis, -was
elected secretary and treasurer, and
the next convention will be held in that
city. It is a rule of the humorists that
ai the term of the secretary aud treas-
nrer expires he automatically becomes
president. J. V, Illgginbotham wag
chosen for vice-president.
The executive committee, upon whose
shoulders falls the burden of choosing
the officials, agreed that in the meet
ing there would be "open covenants
openly arrived at," They afe Don Her
old, A. J. Taylor, It. O. Pemberton,
J, A, Waldron and Chatlea Leedy.
The humorists, also went on record
as thanking the city for its hospitality,
nnd to prove it they made Statistician
V3 J. Cattell an h6norar7 member of
their orgaalatti

Preparations Made by Liquor
Dealers to Contjnuo Business
as Usual After This Month
2 MEETINGS SET FOR TODAY
Preparations nre being made by the
liquor dealers to continue business as
usual after July 1, It is reported. Two
meetings of importance to dealers will
be held today.
The Philadelphia Retail Liquor Deal
ers' Association will meet at the Penn
Square building this afternoon and a
meeting will also be held by the Penn
sylvania Brewers' Association In the
Land Title Building.
The decision of the Appellnte Court
of New York as to what constitutes an

Legislature Criticized
Ciiticism of the Legislature for pass
ing the Ramsey 2ai per cent beer bill'
was expressed in a statement issued
yesterday by the Anti-Saloon League.
The league predicted that the measure
would not be signed by Governor
Sproul. The statement follows:
"The passage of the Ramsey 2 per
cent beer measure by the House last
week and by the Senate yesterday should
not disturb the temperance forces of the
state only In so far as it reveals the ex
tent to which a majority of both Houses
are still under the control of the allied
liquor forces. The old combination in
the legislative halls still exists and the
United States Brewing Company, with
the German-American Alliance, in con
nection with other liquor agencies, is
boasting that they forced the Ramsey
bill through the House and Senate and
now declare that they shall see to it
that the Governor gives it his sanction.
"We have no fears that the Ramsey
bill will be written on the statutes of the
state We hove confidence to believe
that Governor Sproul will keep his word"
concerning this mrnsure, and that he
will refuse to line up with or bp con
trolled by the allied liquor forces above
mentioned.
Nothing to Fear
"Even if this vicious nnd misleading
bill did uot meet its doom at the hand
of the Governor, the federal measure,
now approved by the judiciary com
mittee nt Washington, which makes a
one-half of 1 per cent or more of al
cohol by volume an intoxicating bever
age," would make it illegal and inopera
tive. Hence there is nothing to fear
as to its future operation."
