The closing of poolrooms, 'moving picture houses nnd other places where crowds of negToes might be expected to gather and the policy of the police and military to keep everybody moving en abled the authorities to keep the situa tion well in hand.

This force is ex pected to remain on duty until the wave of lawlessness has burned out and normal conditions restored. As on Monday night the most of the aggression last night appeared to come from the blacks who had armed them selves for retailiution on the whites fol lowing the beating of a number of ne groes Saturday and Sundn nights.

LOOK TO DIRECTORS TO EXPLAIN CRASH What Were They Doing While Funds Were Being Juggled, Is Query By a htnff Corrtiftnd-cnt Harrlsburg, July 2.'! In official cir cles the two lending questions are, what were the directors of the wrecked North Penn Bank doing while Cashier Mover was juggling the institution's funds, and. second, whv did ex-Insurnnce Commissioner Charles A Ambler take the risk of placing S-100.000 of the ruined Pittsburgh Life and Trust Com pany in an institution nf thnt kind? Out nf the ruck of rumors there are some -iery iutert.sting stories forging to the front. Former Insurance Commissioner Am bler in the course of his business as n road contractor and highway builder has constructed a number of highways in Montgomery couutv nnd has one or two contracts which nre not vet completed. Tt is the opinion of severnl attorneys here conversant with the subject that if any of the policyholders or beneficiaries of the Pitt-burgh Life nnd Trust Com pany fail to receive anv of the money due them thev can institute suits against Mr Ambler on the basis that he imperiled the funds held bv him as a trust. This Pittsburgh company was wreck ed by a group of men headed by one Birdseye. of New York, several vcars ago. Among its assets there were found bv the examiners a matter of more than $-100,000. This is the fund deposited with the North Penn Bank by Ambler. If Cashier Moyer's talc is true, that he substituted faked pages In the loose leaf bank books, then his game must hnve been known to some of the book keepers; such n scheme cannot be worked without confederates, according to bankers, familiar with the subject. The banking department lias been censured for not acting quicker In tho premises. The criticism is met by the frank statement of severnl state offi cials familiar with the fact thnt if proceedings had been started sooner the sltuntlon would hnve been fnr worse. A small group of Philadelphia bnnkcrs were working to save tho con cern. On the surfnee this seemed pos sible. A little time nnd the advance ment of cash to render liquid some of i. v....!, tVnn nsset.s was all an- parently that was needed. But as facts developed, this appeared hopeless nnd support was withdrawn. r-i, ri .tntinsnn. former insurance commissioner and now deputy auditor rnt,M.i iipfiinpd tn discuss tho affair. "I know nothing nbout it beyond whnt I read In the newspapers," he said. "I only know that I left every thing in order when I vacated the of fice." "How were the Insurance funds handled while jou were commissioner" "As they should be," snapped Mr. Johnson. "I didn't handle the money. I nppointed the present banking com missioner, Thomas B. Donaldson, to act as my receiver of moneys. He gave bond for faithful performance. He handled nil funds received, and wound tin (hn tifTntra nf nil pnmnnnlpa t a "1 "" "- "' ". ..,"...... ... closed. The sums were turned over to the state treasurer, after I had as sured myself that the accounts were correct." "Was that practice continued by Mr. Ambler?" "I do not know.

For Instance, take the most recent figures.

"The people alone can remedy this condition.

After emphasizing certain "short comings" In the new city charter, one of which he refers to ns "the Incubus of pnrtisan nomination, election nnd responsibility for municipal rule," Senntor Penrose says: "Hut, nevertheless, Philadelphia, most conservative, most glorious and most American of American 'cities, has in its new charter nn Instrument nnd opportunity for advancement such as has never been presented In Its mu nicipal history.
