CONTRACT SPEEDING URGED
Independent ,and Vnre councilmen
are near ngrcement on n lonn program
that Mill provide the Smith ndminN
trntion with between S11..T0O.OOO and
$12,000,000, and will cnrc iidcqu.itcl
for highway 'construction work, hos
pital improvement", water extensions
and the completion of the Parkway.
Conference committee" representing
both political factions will decide upon
nil the amendments between now and
Tuesday, when the items decided upon
will be mailed to evcr.v member of both
branches of Council". Common will
pass the patched-up measure July .t.
and Select one week Inter.
Speed Vp Contracts
No one will suffer because of the de
lay, us the expenditures will be author
ised just as .oon as the completed lmn
bill rcache-t Major Smith for his Mg
linturc. The Minor is vei imvimis to
expedite the letting of lontrnet-. and
will sisn the measure upon its i carbine
his desk Contracts can be ndorticd
for and work started. een though the
bonds nre not sold until some time in
the fall. There is at present n balance
of $11,000,000 in the t itv trcfiMirv. a
part of which can be utilized under the
consolidated loan act.
Reports of wide differences of opinion
between independent counellmen ns to
the size of the loan nnd the cut" to be
made in the original items led to the
assertion that dissension would split the
minority. These are denied today nnd
independent leaders claim that even
man of the twentv-nine who defented ,
the original loan will be on hand to j
vote for the amended measure. I
Wilson Kequests Cut
No iieavji cuts have been made in the
items demanded bv the builders as es- i
sentlal to their home-buildinR pl.ins
Most of the reductions affect appiopri- I
ntions asked b.v Director AViNou, of the
department of public afet . for motor
izing the fire department, the purchase
of motor patrols for the bureau of po
lice, improvements to the electrical ss
tem and the purchase of Rround and
erection of fire stations. All of these
items, independent members claim, can
wait until next jear.
ChanRcs made in the buildinR items
under the agreement will revise the
figures, by which the original sums of
$1,000,000 for main sewers that It was
proposed by their amendments to cut
to $."00,000 be restored in full : that the,
branch sewers cut from S2.000.000 to
$1,000,000 be fixed at SL.IOO.OOO, and
the repairs to asphalted streets, re
duced in the independent schedule from
?l,000,000 to $."00,000, be restored to
the original figures of $1,000,000, and
that likewise--the nradinz of streets, cut
from $."00,000 to $300,000, be restored
' M foUO.OOO.
Action Ne.it Thursday
Much legislation awaits final action
on the loan and "clean-up da" is set
for next Thursday. Hills awaiting action
appropriate bj transfer and otherwise
a total of about $1,000,000. No effort
was made yesterday to pass nil measures
t creating new jobs and increasing sal
aries and these will either be passed

lation that wjll follow on the heels
of the passage of the loan includes
aatnorization for
the. expenditure of
me money set; aside tor paving, re
paving, grading and improvements to
country roads. These were all on the
calendar for yesterday, but were held up
when the loan action was deferred.

Republican Alliance Meets to
Form Committee to Oppose
Vares in Mayor Election
SEEK BUSINESS MEN'S AID
The Republican Alliance meets this
afternoon to act ou a suggestion from
the Town Meeting p.irtv for the forma
tion of a central mganization composed
of representative of all political ele
ments opposed to contractor rule to di
lect the (oming mayoralty fight
Former Senator V. Frank liable,
chairman of the special committee ap
pointed by the Town Meeting party to
bring about such an organization, made
the proposal'in a letter to Thomas W.
Cunningham, (hairman of the Repub
lican Alliance.
T'ntil the orRanization work is com
pleted by Mr Gable's committee other
efforts in connection with the approach
ing mayoralty campaign will be held in
abejnnce
It is the idea of the Town Meeting
party leaders to invite mic and busi
ness organizations to participate in the
movement
After a central organization has been
formed, a drive to register independent
oters will be started, and then the woik
lot uniting on a candidate for mayor
acceptable to the independent elements
will be started
George W. Coles, chairman of the
Town Meeting paitv, said today that
the Town Meeting party committee had
not officiallv disiusVed the qualifications
of nnv mayoralty candidates. At the
Republican Alliance headquarters the
same information was given
So far Pouner Sheriff A. Lincoln
Acker appenrs to be leading the list of
possible candltdates to head the Pen
rose -Independent coalition in the pri
mary tight against the Vares. Whether
or not Mr. Acker is to be a candidate
for the nomination is said t depend
lnrgely on whether he would make the
run.

S GRANTED HEARING
Board to Investigate Charges
That He Assailed Teachers
in Pamphlets
LEGAL FIGHT THREATENED
James Malorfello, who, it is alleged,
wns refused n diploma from the South
Philadelphia High School dast year be
cause, it is alleged, he printed pam
phlets attacking members of the faculty,
has been granted, a hearing by the
Board of Education, at which he will
irnew his application for the certificate.
He will appear before the committee
on high schools on July S to explain his
side of the controversy. Officials ot
the school will be witnesses nlso. In
this way the affair about which the
Board of Education has spread an at
mosphere of mystery will be aired in
public.
Is Denied Diploma
Maioriello completed a four-year
course at the school and woh about
to receive his plplomn when, according
to the sqhool authorities, he circulated
... ... ... i
rP5,r.-S,,..n.i.S;r,0l!
u a1rKP(1 tIlat hf, ,d these leaflets
printed at bis own expense and that
he circulated them among the entire
student body. When a member of the
yacn ng srnii who whs prm-uiiii) u.
fected bv tbo remllnir mntter COt n Copy
of the paper he referred It to the fac
ulty. The professors then voted to
denv a diploma to Maioriello, who,
while he participated in the commence
ment ceremonies, wns; excluded from
the graduation honors.
One of the circulars which the youth
he Is twenty years old is nccused of
publishing is said to be in n snfe at
the headquarters of the Board of Edu
cation. Even some members of the
board have failed to see it. Dr. John
P. Garber. superintendent of schools,
resented reference to the case when in
terview ed' yesterday.
"I do not want to be cross-questioned."
he said.
Dr. George Wheeler, associate super
intendent in charge of all of the high
school, said :
"In advance of the meeting I can not
discuss the case. The members of the
ommlttee would not be pleased to have
me make any statement on the mntter,
I am sure."
Maioriello. wlio lives at 1307 Federal
street, wants to enter the law school of
the Vnlversity of .Pennsylvania next
year and because of that is particular jy
'noxious to obtain a diploma. Among
i his fellow pupils he enjoyed the reputa
tion of being unusually proncicnt.
Brother to Fight for Mm
G. T. Mninriello, brother of James,
who is a law.ver with offices in the
Commonwealth Buildiug, is represent
ing .lames in the case. On behnlf of
his brother, the law.ver denied responsi
bility for the circulation of the pam
phlets. He said his brother had papers in his
possession which showed that hfr had
completed the course at the high school.
If the high school's committee fails to
act favorably ip, the case, he said, he
would institute a bill In equity to get
the diploma for his brother.
Thomns Sbnllcross, for ninny vears
a member of the school board, said he
wns certain both paitles to the con-,
troversv would get a fair hearing.
"Without nnv reference to the truth
or falsity of the charges made by this
bov," he said. "I do believe that,
as a mntter of discipline, it is unwise to
permit joungsters to make writtcu at
tacks on their teachers."
