Custom of Praising European
Culture Above Our Own Will
Be Dropped, He Declares
"Ton can't fool Americans' any more
nbout the supremacy and glamour of Ki
rope," said Harvey Watts at the Rotary
luncheon in tfic Rcllcvue-Htratford to
day. He spoke on "The Danger of
Bolshevism."
"Before our 3,000,000 American sol
diers went to Europe," said Mr. Watts,
"they had crown quite used to hear
ing European art, European culture,
European civilization set high above our
own civilization. Rut their stay in
Europe has dissipated all that.
"The American boys not boys only,
mind you, but plenty of physicians, law
yers, scholnrs, business men and what
not have seen Europe ns tourists never
have seen it. They've seen Europe as
Europe really is, and they found Europe
down at the heels. And they wanted to
gebback to Clod's country again.
"And they come back to find a few
extremists radicals, parlor Rolshcviki,
or whatever you want to call them
trying to prove that America is in
ferior. But thy know now that never
in our lowest levels have we American
people ever lived on so low a leel ns
the majority of people in Europe.
"That might make jou think that
there is no danger in this type of bul
shevism, because our men will no longer
be hoodwinked by these mental in
capables who use n radical phraseology
in this country that doesn't apply to
this country at all, but to Europe.
"There Is a danger, however. These
radicals, extremists In women suffrage,
conscientious objectors, so-called wel
fare workers, are working twenty-four
hours every day it's one clement of
their fanaticism and we men have got
to keep our feet on the ground, have got
to maintain a sane outlook and face
the facts, whether we like the facts or
not."
BABY TOSSED FROM AUTO
Three Autos in Crash Two Persons
Are Injured
Three automobiles were mixed up
in a crash last night on Broad street
above Oxford, as a result of which two
men are in St. Joseph's Hospital, two
others arc under arrest and a two-year-old
girl escaped injury almost by a
miracle. The cars of Policeman Patrick
Connelly, 463 North Bodine street, and
Milton Butterworth, 4831 North Thir
teenth street, were standing at the curb,
when a car driven by D. G. Husted
smashed into that of Connelly, which
in turn rammed the Butterworth car.
Connelly had on his lap his little
daughter, Helen, who was pitched
bodily into the arms of Butterworth
and escaped unhurt. Connelly went to
'the hospital with a badly injured left
' side and knee, while Oeorgc Specht, of
1010 North Camac street, also an oc
cupant of that car, was found to have
concussion of the brain.
Thirteen saloonkeepers, three mem
bers of one bottling firm nnd ten bar
tenders were arrested today by govern
ment ngents in the round-up of those
accused of violating the prohibition
laws.
The bottlers arrested were Frank.
William nnd Chnrles Lippcrt, 2220
North Twenty-seventh street. They
were the first nrrcsts of this kind dur
ing the crusade.
Among those apprehended today was
John McKenna, of Thirty-ninth nnd
Market streets, who is already under
.$li00 bail'charged with selling whisky.
Wlint was regarded as the most Im
portant nrrrst was that of John Ken
yan!, proprietor of n saloon nt Or
mantown avenue and Penn street.
Senyard was charged with selling a
naif pint of gin to a government detec
tive. He was arrested by It. I). Clark,
chief of the Bureau of Investigation.
Clark said he visited the saloon ofSen-
yard Monday night and bought the gin.
Senyard was held in $2000 ball this
nfternoon by United States Commis
sioner Long.
Two of Seynard's bartenders, Chnrles
Harvey and William Rogers were each
held in ?o00 bail for court.
Other Saloon Men Arrested
Other saloon proprietors arrested
were Michael Brady, Eighteenth nnd
Huntingdon streets; Cicorge Young,
2.104 North Thirty-first street; Ernest
Iipke, York and Natrona streets : Mrs.
Wilhelmina Herzog, Twenty-ninth nnd
Fletcher streets; William Frook. 2220
North Twenty-seventh street; Hnrry
Weiss, Twenty-seventh street and Sus'

Dunlnp, Seventeenth nnd Dauphin
streets; Louis Wagner, Eighteenth nnd
Dauphin streets ; Ciustnve Soudt, Sev
enteenth nnd Cumberland streets ; Mrs.
Annie Mclntyre, Cumberland street and
Cleveland avenge.
Reorganization is being made of the
force ot' agents and investigators of the
Department of Justice here. The twelve
agents sent here recently from Wash
ington to aid in the arrest of saloon men
selling liquors nnd beer have been re
placed by other agents with experience
in liquor Inw violations.
Announcement that changes hnd'been
mnde in the staff was made today by
Todd Daniel, chief of the staff, and is
believed to be n result of his recent visit
to Washington, as well as being in line
with suggestions mnde by William J.
Flynn, chief of the United Stntes Seeret
Service. Mr. Flynn visited Philadel
phia a few days ago and had a lengthy
couferenre with Mr. Daniel and United
Stntes Attorney Kane.
Export Whisky and Gin
Stocks of whisky, gin nnd wines
purchased by speculators and dealers
before prices soared two years ago
and pincc held in bond, are now being
distributed at high prices through ex
portation to foreign countries.
Two thousand barrels of whisky will
have been withdrawn from bonded
warehouses in the Philadelphia district,
according to Collector of Internal Rev
enue Ledcrer. before the end of July.
All of this liquor is intended for ex
port. It is taken out of bond under
government regulation and restriction
and cannot go anywhere but out of the
country.
Whisky nnd gin, on the authority of
the officials of the revenue depart
ment in this city, nrc now being shipped
to almost every country in the world
by Philadelphians who long since gar
nered a large supply of th now ta
booed intoxicants, in anticipation of
being able to sell it at high prices.
Million Gallon Here
Estimates place the amount of whisky
in government bonded warehouses In the
Philadelphia district at nearly 1,000,
000 gallons.
VARE COLOR IS SEEN

Application of the Public Service
Railway Company for a new zoning
system which will Increase the trolley
rates in New Jersey rt looked upon by
Councilman Abbott as a distinct ad
vantage for Camden riders. The Pub
lic Utility Commission Is expected
shortly to announce its decision on the
application, nt Newark.
"Under the new system, Camden gets
the advnntnge," said Mr. Abbott, chair
man of the trolley committee for the'
city. The new rate allows two miles for
five cents in the city of Camden and two
cents a mile for ench additional mile.
The bulk of Camden riders live within
the two-mile rndlus, nnd the suburban
ites are the ones who will have to pay
the higher rate."
In a former application for increased
rates the company asked permission to
estnbllsh n rate of five cents for the
first mile in the city of Camden and one
cent a mile for each additional mile. The
Public Utility Commission nt Trenton
made no decision on this application.
In the meantime, the second zoning plan
wns submlttcri
The application was made by Thomas
N. McCarter, president of the corpora
tion, who explained that increased
revenue is necessary becnuse of the
recent award of fifty-five cents an hour
to the trolleymen by the War Labor
Board. This award will mean on in
crease in the company's payrolls, he
says, amounting to ouc and a half mil
lion dollars a year.
If the latest increase is granted, sub
urbanites who would have paid six cents
under the rates established in the first
application will pay seven cents, and
those who would have paid seven cents
will pay nine cents.
On the other hnnd, many persons
living in the city of Camden who would
have paid six cents under first zoning
system will have to pay but five cents
under the second zoning plan.

DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL FIGHT
Seventh and Eghth Senatorial Dis
tricts Pick Candidates
Democrats of the Seventh nnd Eighth
Senatorial districts have made up coun
cilmanie tickets.
" In the Seventh district the men se
lected to make the run are Henry E.
Preston, of the Forty-seventh wnrd;
Joseph E. Fabian, Forty-second wnrd,
nnd Francis J. Powers, Twenty-eighth
wnrd.
The candidates in the Eighth district
are John A. Levis, Twenty-third wnrd;
Frank Dougherty, Twenty-fifth ward,
and James Gallagher, Forty-third ward.
Fusion following the primary was
frowned upon by speakers nt the Dcn(o
cwitic meetings.
Walter Littleton, Vnre leader in the
Sixth ward, has announced himself a
candidate for Council in the Third Sena
torial district. The district is entitled
to one member in the new Council.
Results of the "progressive" confer
ence nt Hnrrisburg are not altogether
satisfying to those of real independent
political spirit.
Doubts ns to the sincerity of the
movement were expressed today by those
who took a peep under the surfnee of
the so-called reform-within-the-Repub-Ilcan-party
plan inaugurated by Gifford
Pinehot jrstenlay.
Presence of ninny Vnre officeholders
and followers generally nt the meet
ing lends color to a suspicion that the
movement may be merely n trading
nrrnngement by w'lieh the Vnres can
obtniii the "progressive' votes at the
primary, and by way of reciprocity
throw their strength to Mr. Pinehot
should he again decide to enter the
fight for the United Stntes senntorsbip.
Another T. R. Wanted
Announcement lind been mnde that the
pmpose of the conference was to aid
in bringing about the nomination of n
Republican who would uphold the poli
cies of the lnte Theodore Roosevelt.
Harmony with the regular Republicans
was advocated, if possible.
Many present snld It wns n strange
coincidence that n preponderance of
Vnre followers had been invited, while
none known to be inclined Penrose
ward wero present.
The Vare-llnU Moosers empbaticnllj
deny that there wns any discrimina
tion. Several pointed out that they were
aligned with the progressive ninement
when it stnrted nnil enme to the meet
ing ns renl progressives.
Pioneer Bull Moosers Ignored
John J. Crout, one of the pioneers
of the progressive movement in Phila
delphia ; Samuel Crothers, Magistrate
Robert Carson nnd others were not con
sidered on the somewhat exclusive in
vitation list.
But Judge Cnrson went J,o the meet
ing nnhow and nired his views. They
jarred the well-oiled plans of the con
ference considerably. A. Nevin I)et
rieh, who acted ns sort of director gen
eral of the proceedings for Mr. Pinehot,
"called" the mngistrnte frequently, but
Mr. Cnrson could not be squelched. He
and several others asserted that many
well-known independents had been ig
nored, which action Carson said did
not lit in with the announcement that
the meeting wns to be wide open.
Objection wns also made by the
"iudze" and others to the resolution
offered which, as originally framed, did
not ex nd n very friendly hand to reg
ular Rcpublirnns. The resolution was
finally dressed up n bit to avoid any
possible sting to the regulars.
Much comment was caused by the
failure of ex-Senator William J. Fllnn,
