A heavy registration, especially 'fa
Germantown and West Philadelphia,
Independent strongholds, was reported
today to tho campaign headquarters of
Congressman Moore, who Is opposing
Judge Patterson for the Republican
nomination for Mayor.
The first tidings of a big enrollment
were brought to the Moore general staff
by John J. Crout, one-time Roosevelt
leader of the Twenty-second ward, and
now ono ot the Independent chieftains
there.
"Reports I have from most of the
divisions of the Twenty-second show
that the registration Is strong and is
going ahead," said Mr. Crout.
Many prominent manufacturers went
from door to door in dermantown urg
ing the voters to register so that they
would be qualified to vote for Con
gressman Moore and the whole anti
Vare ticket. -

leader of the Forty-second wnrd, de

Independent leaders were Jubilant
over the reports. A heavy registration;
they say, indicates the degree to which
the vomers of Philadelphia are aroused
over the evils of contractor govern
ment. Reports received up until 1 o'clock
show that registration In West Phila
delphia is heavy and also in German
town. In other sections it -varies.
In tho seventh division of the
Twenty 'seventh ward fifty-four voters
had registered up to the time men
tioned. In the first division of the same

In the downtown wards both the
Vare supporters and the Independents
said they were gratified by the size of
the registration.
Senator Vare's Thirty-ninth ward

both sides. Up to 1 o'clock the regis
tration figures were as follows: iii

The first report of alleged intimida

Moore headquarters byvtelephone from
Curtis Hellman, 1010 Colonial street.
Mr. Hellman said he entered the poll

PATTERSON, VARE,' ET AL
KEPT BUSY EXPLAINING
Independent Strategy Has
Stripped Gears in Mayoralty
Fight Machinery
By GEORGE NOX McCAIN
There can be no question that Con
gressman Moore as Independent candi
date for Mayor has stripped some of the
gears in the Vare machine.
His rapid-fire attacks, togctherjvith
other awkward and unpleasant Bur
prises, have put the Vare leaders on the
defensive.
It is an old political axiom that
when you get your opponent in a po
litical fight to mnktng explanations
you've got him on the run.
Any individual with the most ordi
nary perceptive faculties will acknowl
edge that thus far the Vare organi
zation has been kept decidedly busy
explaining and -jirotestlng. Take the
self-evident fnctl:
Judge Patterson has been compelled
to explain why he docs not resign from
the bench while conducting a bitter po
litical fight. He has been forced to
declare that he will keep "open shop"
for all callers during his term.
Barrage of Denials
The regular Republican candidate
for sheriff, Daniel Wade, a Democrat,
has been forced to publish nn elaborate
denial that he is a Democrat, though
a warm personal friend of that high
priest of democracy, Michael J. Ryun.
He has likewise been 'compelled to de
clare" that his fraternal membership in
various organizations was Dot the real
secret of his candidacy.

tried to fqree him to award a contract
for nnjnferlor brand of fire hose." A
second fusillade from Director Mac
Laughlln compelled a second denial
from Senator Vare. This latter ex
planation very nearly places the sen
ator in the list of campaigners who
"talk too much.."
And now Thomas Robins. ex-Pro-
gresslve candidate for Congress, who
swallowed the Vare bait, hook, line nnd
dlpsle, that was cast so deftly and suc
cessfully by County Commissioner
ueorge V, Holmes, is the latest "ex

who is the bell wether of that fearfully
and wonderfully selected committee of

He ranges up beside Judge Patterson,
Daniel Wade and Senator Vare and ex
plains how the influence and the brood

that he believes Roosevelt would have
expected hm to do as he has done,
though there are serious doubts on the
subject.

WI'LAUGHLIN TO QUIT SENATORS VOTE
SUPPLIES POST TO
ENTER MAYOR RACE
Will Resign as Director After
Primaries to Wage Strong
Election Campaign
CANDIDATE IN GOOD FAITH,
HE SAYS, ASSAILING BOSSES
Reiterates That Vare Tried to
Swing Hose Contracts Eyre
"Friend" in Coal Deal
Joseph S. MacLaughlln, director of
the Department of Supplies, will resign
Ii'" city office when he becomes a candi
date for Mayor after the primaries.
He made this statement today shortly
after he had registered as a Republi
can. He refused to disclose whether
he would vote for Congressman Moore
or Judge Patterson at the primary elec
tion. Director MacLaughlln repeated that
he would be an independent candidate
for election as Mayor.
"I think this" is the people's oppor
tunity to overthrow all bossism," said
the director. "I am a candidate in
good faith, and I am sure the evidence
I have given In the last few days will
how that I am sincere."
No attempt, thus far, has been made
to "ge.t" the director for the hard
knocks he 1ms given the Vnrc combine
recently. The director in answer to a
question said that no one had made any
effort to force' him to resign.
"It was to prove my sincerity,"
added Director MacLaughlln, "that I
withdrew from the primaries."
Reiterates Hose Bid Story
He was asked to comment on Sen
ator Varo's statement of yesterday, de
nying that tho director had been told
to throwflutJothrcIty, bids on fire
hose nnd give Vare's friend- Crane, a
cnance.
"No matter what Kd Vare said,"
Director MacLaughlln replied, "the is
sue is still the same. I told the truth.
Senator Vare claims that I kept my
charges under cover until I was dis
appointed in the primary race.
"As, a matter of fact, I reported the
facts to my superior. Mayor Smith, and
he sustained me at every point."
Director MacLaughlln said that
Mayor Smith has given him no inti
mation that the. revelations of the last
few days will make his withdrawal from
office in order. Director MacLaughlln
explained his. failure to tell the facts
to the public on the score that a "wit
ness does not testify until he Is in
court. This case now Is in the court
of public opinion."
Eyre Is Vare's "Friend"
The "fFlend" for whom Senator Vare
tried to obtain a coal contract with this
city was State Senator T. Larry Eyre,
of Chester county, Director Mac
Laughlln today declared, in his latest
broadside against th Organization
leader.
Vare Admits Call on MacLaughlln
, "Senator Vare," said Mr. Mac-
Laughin, admits that he called upon
me to ask that the department try a
carload or two of coal to be supplied by
one of his friends.
"Why didn't he mention the fact that
the gentleman with the coal to sell was
State Senator T. Larry Eyre, a Pen
rose lieutenant?
"Why didn't he explain what legis
lation was then under discussion at

Windham was called as first witness for
the state.
The girl clutched her mother's arm
with the sobbing explanation, "He
is the man I thought was Uncle Max
that morning."
"Shot Him to Save Mother"
All the state's evidence brought out
by District Attorney Hiram Kelly's
questions tended to show the girl killed
her father to save the family. No evi
dence was taken for the defense, but
Mr. Buckman said testimony at the
trial would show Bartell was "a veri
table Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde."
"I shot him because I had to save
mother," witnesses said Clara told them
after the killing. v
Mrs. Otllly Seesc, Clara's music
teacher, who lives across the road from

to kill his family.

Committee Adopts Blanket
Amendment to Pact, Chang

WOULD AVOID HELPING
IN RECONSTRUCTION WORK
McCumber Declares 0. 0. P.
Bitter Leaders Aim 'Poisoned
Dagger' at Treaty
By the Associated Press
Wa&hlngton, Aug. 20. Under a
blanket amendment to the pence treaty,
agreed to today by the Senate foreign
relations committee, American repre
sentation would be eliminated from the
various international commissions which
arc to supervise European reconstruc
tion with the exception of the repara
tions commission nnd such others as
arc to be appointed by the league of
nations.
The change would affect about a score
of commissions nnd would change the
language of the treaty in more than
fifty places.
DMdes on Party Lines
The vote on the amendment was 0 tx
7, the committee dividing on parry
lines.
The amendment wns evolved from a
series presented by Senator Fall, Re
publican, of New M?xIco. All the
Democrats voted in the negative.
Senator McCumber, Republican, of
North Dakota, who voted with the
Democrats against the Shantung amend
ment Saturday, was not present. To
day's amendment Is the second to be
made, the Shantung amendment being
first.
One of the commissions from which
the United States would be eliminated
is that which will determine the boun
dary between Germany and Belgium.
McCumber Opens Attack
Declaring the Republican majority of
the foreign relations committee was at
tempting by the Shantung nmendment
to the peace treaty, to drive a "pois
oned dagger" into the peace treaty and
to place the United States In the posi
tion of a "blgjmlly," Senator Mc
Cumber, who voted againgt the amend
ment, asked the Senate today to over
rule the committee's action.
The speaker said "no greato,r blow
could ever be struck against the real
Interests of China" than by the com
mittee amendment, the actual purpose
of which, he nssertcd, was to, kill the
trenty and the league. The amend
ment provides thnt the old German
rights in Shantung province shall go
to China in place of Japan.
Questions Motive for Action
"Why did the majority of this com
mittee pause In the midst of their hear
ings to make this particular amend
ment," he continued, "and then pro
ceed with the usual leisure to lny out
dnte3 for further hearings which will
consume a week or so more?
'Th nnrnnsH Is nnnarent. It is to
signify to the country that the Senate
Is hostile to this country. It is to put
Tnnnn In n nnsltlnn where she cannot.
without nn appearance of being coerced,
do what she has promisea to ao. u is
to create" trouble between this country
nnd Japan and thereby send the first
dagger thrust Into the body of this
treaty.
"Is it an act of true friendship
toward China or a mere political move
to defeat the treaty? If its sponsors
now fail to come forward and openly
pledge that if Japan is driven out of
this treaty then the United States will
proceed single-handed nnd alone to
drive Japan out of China will renew
this world war and send our soldiers
Into the Orient to fight for her, then
by this act they are betrajlng China
with a false kiss.
League Guarantees China
"They know and we know that this
country will never go to wnr against
Japan to prevent Japan from doing just
what we have allowed-evcry other na
tlon to do In Chlnn wjthout a protest.
"With the league of nations China
obtains an assurance which Is tanta
mount to a guaranty by all the world
that not only will Japan return to
China what Germany wrested from her
in 1808, but henceforth and so long
as this league shall last no other na
tion shall rob China of one inch ot her
territory or exercise any control over
her people Inconsistent with the claims
of complete Independence and sov
ereignty." FRENCH TO ACT ON TREATY

ASKS U. S. TO TAKE
Trade Board Urges
Monopoly to Control Big
Packers
"BIG FIVE" GRIP TIGHTENS
By the Associated Press
' Washington, Aug. 20. Declaring
that the step is necessary to control
the business of the five largest packing
companies, the federal trade commis
sion, In a special report to President
Wllsou, recommends that operation of
refrigerator cars and of cars used for
transportation of meat animals be de
clared a government monopoly.
It recommends, further, that the
property concerned, Including icing sta
tions and other facilities, as well as the
cars, be acquired by the government and
railways thereafter be licensed to own
and operate them. The big packers, the
report says,nov own 00 per cent of all
the refrigerator equipment In the coun
try suitable for the transport of fresh
meat.
"The present country-wide system of
distribution by the five big packers has
grown up from their control of refrigra
tor car lines In conjunction with var
ious pools," the report says in part.
Advantage to Big Five
"In turn, the volume of traffic of the
five packers has enabled them to se
cure from the railroads advantages ov.cr
competing shippers. Formerly In the
shape of direct rebates, tnese advan
tages are now usually In expedited serv
ice to the big packer cars, In favorable
mixing ruled which include" all their
diversified products and even many
articles not related to the packing in
dustry ; by allowances paid to some of
the big packers by carriers for a part
of the transportation service; by fav
orable arrangements and lease ot stock
yards by the railroads to some of the
big packers ; ami by the sale to the rail
roads ot bumping posts manufactured by
a subsidiary of one of the big five.
"The small Independent packers cars
aro misused and diverted, frequently
being out of his service for extended
periods, in several instances as long
as six months. In 1017 the cars of
the "big five" and their subsidiary com
panies maintained an average of 80.8
miles per car -per day, while the aver
age for cars of their competitors, the
Independent packing companies, was
only 54.B miles."
