NEW COUNCIL RACE
Many Nov Candidates Crop Out
for Po9t in City Legisla
tive Body of 21
ANTI-VARE MEN SEEK UNITY
CanJidatcs for the new Council of
twenty-one with its fat salary of $3000
a year continue to crop out.
Select Councilman George TV, Brad
enburg, of the Fifteenth ward, is the
latest entry.
Bradenburg has been indorsed by the
Fifteenth Ward Ilcpubllcnn Alliance ns
a candidate for one of the three coun
cilmanic places in the Seventh sena
torial district, which taltei in the Fif
teenth, Twenty-eighth, Twenty-ninth,
Thirty-second and Forty-seventh
wards.
Select Councilman Richard AVeglein,
ot the Twenty-ninth Word, was indorsed
some time ngo for one of the other
places. Both Bradenburg and Wcglcln
are Penrose followers.
Independents in "West Philadelphia
are plnnning to concentrate their
strength on four candidates in the
sixth senatorial district.
The district, which takes in all of
West Philadelphia, is allotted four
councilnien under the new charter.
Prospects of an indfpendent victory in
the district are menaced by the appear
ance of so many independents in the
field.
Followers of Magistrate Robert S.
Carbon and other independent leaders
allied with Carson failed to attend the
harmony meeting held last night in
Spaeth's Hall, Fortieth street and Lan
caster avenue, which was staged largely
by Republican Alliance leaders from
the six wards in West Philadelphia.
A committee was appointed to interview-
the Carson followers and try and
bring about unity among the anti-Varo
forces. Another meeting will be
next Tuesday night.
The committee appointed comprises
Douglas Bartlett, J. N. Kennedy, Kd
ward E. Cullen, John Ticcman and
Dr. D. W. Bacon.
"The bisincss interests have deter
mined to have a hand In the govern
ment of the city," declared John Fisler,
vice nre&ident of the Manufacturers'
Club, in addressing the meeting.
"The muniupalitj is, a $1,000,000
corporation, and wo propose to have if
administered on a businesslike basis."

another of gray satin with a girdle of

board of commissioners, according to
a statement made today by Horace
Johnson, a member of that body.

the newspapers print."
No special meeting of the board has
been called to look into the matter. The
next regular meeting is to be held Mon
day, August 1.
S. H. Johnson, a member of the
police committee nnd a commissioner of
the township, said that they had no
authority oer Squire Thomas. He
FATITVf A
"jutt enough Turkish"
stated that the members of the board
might do something about the charges
against Chief of Police Fdward T. Hal
llssej, if they were com triced that the
charges arc true.
Squire Thomas has announced his in
tention of legallj obstructing njy sttps
taken to make him refund fiucs.
In pursuance of this course tin

At the founding or Philadelphia many im

In one of these the first child in Philadel
phia was born.
In those rough days one had small worry
about the safety of personal possessions.
Two centuries, however, have made vast
differences, so that today burglar-proof
vaults and other devices are necessary to
protect your valuables. We have individ

burglar proof vaults. This is but one of
